Chapter 134: The Missing Phoenix
On the other side, Hogwarts Yard.
"Everyone, keep your magic stance, keep your head up and your feet together!"
"Very well, that's it, hold on for another quarter of an hour and we'll rest. ”
"In order to defend our rights, Elena is still checking her body in the principal's office, but you are starting to cry out tired after a little tiredness, aren't you ashamed?"
Hermione and Hannah stood at the front of the queue side by side facing all the young wizards, leading the movements of the [magic gesture] that Elena had said yesterday, while wandering back and forth between the young wizards with stern eyes.
"Harry, do you know what irritates Granger, how he feels worse than Elena's big sister? Draco Malfoy asked in a whisper as he touched his elbow to his friend.
"How do I know, not only Hermione, don't you think Hannah is also abnormal?" Harry replied with a bitter face as Harry quickly straightened his back and whispered with a bitter face.
As soon as training began this morning, Hannah led a group of new Hufflepuff students to "educate" all the prickly wizards who disobeyed the arrangement one by one - exactly the same way Elena "educated" them on the Hogwarts Express.
Even Ron, who was once one of the "Moonlight Eight", was personally beaten by Hermione and Hannah for questioning the intensity of training, not to mention the little wizard.
"I'm not surprised Hannah, Harry, you haven't seen how terrible Hufflepuff is with Sister Elena's head......" Draco Malfoy, who was still slightly red and swollen on his forehead, said with a complicated expression.
As one of the first Slytherin warriors to "die", he was naturally included in the sequence of young wizards defending the common room, and he was the bravest of them - after all, in terms of "corpse" position, he almost once broke into the belly of the Hufflepuff camp.
After the Hufflepuff side took the initiative to reconcile, many senior Slytherin seniors had a lot of good feelings for him, and even Slytherin captain Marcus, who used to look at him at all, took the initiative to come over and pat him on the shoulder.
Needless to say, Draco could figure out why Elena knocked him unconscious after a little thought, so that he wouldn't be left out of the Slytherin House by winning or losing.
"I've heard a little bit, it's said that Marcus from your house and Cedric from Hufflepuff wanted to confess their big sister at the same time, and then they just fought, is that really the case?" Harry's lips moved, eager to get some more details from Draco.
"Of course not, the eldest sister is because I ......" Draco Malfoy shook his head, his voice subconsciously a little louder, rather guilty.
In an instant, two sharp lines of sight converged on Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter.
"Draco, Harry, don't talk to each other!" X2
Hermione and Hannah's voices came immediately.
The two little boys who were talking in a low voice trembled, quickly closed their mouths and stood up straight.
"Cut. Not far away, Ron, who happened to hear the conversation between the two, let out a low sneer, "Malfoy, you're daydreaming again, how can the eldest sister be ...... because of you?"
"Ron!" Hermione narrowed her eyes in displeasure and snorted coldly.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Looking around at the young wizards standing in front of them, Hermione and Hannah exchanged tired looks, and they began to understand the responsibilities and pressures of Elena who had been in this position before - you must try to be convincing when your words and actions can influence and guide a large group of people.
On the outside of the crowd, the tall and burly Hagrid looked at the group of first-year students who were even more obedient than yesterday, rubbed his palms awkwardly, and suddenly felt that the meaning of his existence seemed to be only to help everyone solve the problem of food.
The giant thought for a moment, silently walked back to his hut, took the large net that was drying on the roof and carried it on his shoulder, carried the dry bread used to feed the mutant fish in his arms, and walked step by step towards the sparkling black lake......
After all, everyone is working hard, and as an instructor, he can't do nothing.
"I don't know what happened to Elena now, it's just a spell confrontation between a group of students, how can she be so badly injured? But since Professor Dumbledore is in charge of the examination and treatment, there should be no problem. ”
......
"Professor, your phoenix can't be lost, right? Or some bad wizard caught it halfway?"
Time passed like a snail, and Elena felt as if she was back in her previous life, the last day before the start of each summer vacation.
The envelope addressed to Lovegood's house had already been secretly mixed up in the pile of letters that were about to be sent, and the sense of anticipation of the events that were about to happen at Lovegood's house was waning over time.
Elena shook her sore hand, she felt like she had been writing for at least two hours, but the owl letters were still coming in a steady stream, and the letters in the office barely showed any signs of abating. Even if the man Dumbledore had invited hadn't lived in England, he would have flown back at the speed of a phoenix.
"Rest assured, the phoenix is a magical creature with extraordinary magical powers. They are brave and selfless in their dedication, and they also know how to avoid all kinds of potential dangers wisely. ”
Dumbledore, who was seriously replying to the letter, put down his pen, shook his head, and said with a smile.
There is an old legend in his family that a long time ago, a certain wizarding ancestor of the Dumbledore family once made a pact with a phoenix, and whenever the descendants of the family needed help, the phoenix would appear by his side, and the phoenix would not leave easily unless Dumbledore died.
For decades, even in the most dangerous and turbulent times of the wizarding world, Phoenix Fawkes has faithfully completed all the early warning and communication work.
"Well, I guess it's a tough choice. After all, one of the three things that your new teacher hates the most is being a child, and the other is being a teacher. Dumbledore thought for a moment, then added in a less determined tone, "Still, I think if it were my request, he would have agreed." ”
"Actually, I would have preferred him to refuse. Elena stood up and moved her aching shoulders, looked around the office, paused, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Well, by the way, do you know how to get to the nearest bathroom? ”
"It's not too far, it's in the attic next to the bedroom. Dumbledore gestured to the wooden staircase behind the office study, next to a large pile of bookshelves.
Like Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore's room was connected to the office, and there was no separate room for living in the castle.
"Well, thank you. ”
Just as Elena walked up the stairs and disappeared into the first floor of the office, a flash of fire silently appeared in Dumbledore's sight.
Phoenix Fawkes looked around cautiously, blinked his big bright eyes, and handed a letter to the old man.
Squeak.
There was a sound of footsteps on the wooden staircase upstairs.
The beautiful big fiery red bird's eyes opened, and he hurriedly took a few sips of water next to the birdstand, and then disappeared into the room again with a soft snap on Dumbledore's strange expression.
