Section I

Hermione had been angry with Sauron because of what had happened that day on the Quidditch pitch, and every time she mentioned Sauron, Hermione's face became gloomy. This made Harry helpless to be caught between several people, first because of Crookshank, Ron and Hermione were angry with each other, and now Sauron and Hermione had a very unpleasant quarrel.

So, to avoid embarrassment, Harry didn't go to Sauron very often during the Christmas holidays. This gave Sauron plenty of time to search for Blake's whereabouts, and in Sauron's opinion, in order to achieve his goal, he had to control the whereabouts of all the people in his hands, so as to ensure that things developed on the course he had set.

Sauron searched the Forbidden Forest almost thoroughly, all the way down to the distant mountains, and now he can be sure that Black is not hiding in the forest, which can't help but confuse Sauron a little, although Hogwarts is large, there are not many places that can allow Black to hide for a long time, and the Forbidden Forest is the best choice. The long search was fruitless, which made Sauron a little irritated, and if it weren't for Dumbledore's concerns, Sauron even considered using some extreme measures, but in the end he didn't take action.

Lupin did not show up until a few days before New Year's Day, when Sauron saw him in the hallway, he looked pale and weak, and Sauron guessed that it was likely that Snape had deliberately made some changes to enhance some of the side effects of the potion.

Sauron was surprised by the fact that Phobertol returned, looking a little sluggish, but in the letter he brought back from Fleur, Sauron got the answer - the Dark Phoenix, seduced by chocolate, had been with Gabrielle all along, dutifully playing the role of a doll. After Phobertol returned, he lingered in the Forbidden Forest, and as a result, many of the animals in the forest suffered, and the reason is simple, the dark phoenix prefers fresh meat.

Hagrid was worried about this, and a large number of animals continued to die, including two Thestrals and a small unicorn. Eventually, he reported the matter to Dumbledore, though the Headmaster did not seem surprised, in fact, Dumbledore had already learned from Fawkes when Fabertol arrived.

"Perhaps, over-indulgence of one's own pets is not a good thing." When Dumbledore met Sauron in the hallway, he said, "It's going to be a big problem for Hagrid. ”

Sauron shrugged helplessly, as Dumbledore had said, he was very indulgent to Forbertol. In the years leading up to Sauron's arrival at Hogwarts, the Dark Phoenix was his only companion, and Sauron's affection for Phobertol was much more than just a pet. However, Sauron still warned Forbertol, but the effect is unknown, and the animals in the forest are still being killed, but fortunately no large animals such as unicorns are killed again.

Soon after New Year's Day, the students returned to school one after another, and the school gradually became lively. The students were shocked to learn that Harry had a firebolt, and the Gryffindors were excited, especially Oliver Wood, the captain of their Quidditch team, as if he had a firebolt himself. The Slytherin players, on the other hand, were not happy, they knew what a firebolt meant, and that such a broomstick could make a Quidditch player jump a lot in level, especially if they were a good Seeker, which was a nightmare for their enemies.

The new semester began, the school began to be in session, and spending two hours in the playground on a cold January morning was the last thing anyone wanted to do, even Sauron; However, Hagrid lit a fire, full of fire monsters, for everyone's amusement. The students had a class-deceit-like class collecting dead leaves to keep the fire going, and flame-loving lizards jumped up and down on burnt, self-heating wooden blocks.

Hermione was still angry with Sauron, and when she saw Sauron, she just snorted with a cold face, and then turned her head away. Harry could only smile wryly at Sauron. But Sauron didn't care, he leaned over to the burning fire, not caring about the scorching heat, the flames of the fire touched the corners of Sauron's clothes from time to time, but did not cause any damage, but dissipated of its own.

Suddenly, a dark shadow swooped down on the fire, quickly picked up a salamander, circled around, and landed on Sauron's shoulder, which was Forbertol.

The students were stunned by the sudden scene, and Hagrid reacted quickly and ran nervously towards Sauron. After seeing what was on Sauron's shoulder, Hagrid's face changed suddenly.

"Don't worry." Sauron said calmly, gently stroking the smooth feathers of the black phoenix, "It's my pet. ”

On Sauron's shoulder, Phobertol stared at Hagrid with dark eyes, and with a few strokes he swallowed the salamander in his mouth. Sauron smiled helplessly, giving Hagrid an apologetic expression.

The students who came to their senses began to whisper, the Gryffindors to be exact, and the Slytherins, though surprised, said nothing......

"I really didn't expect that Sauron would have a dark phoenix as a pet." Ron was surprised, "It's amazing." ”

"What's so strange?" Harry didn't understand, "Although phoenixes are rare, Dumbledore also has a phoenix, and last year in the Chamber of Secrets, two phoenixes appeared together and helped defeat the basilisk. ”

Ron's eyes widened, "Harry, do you know what the Dark Phoenix means?" ”

"What does that mean?" Harry was a little nervous.

"The phoenix only submits to the strong, and the masters of the dark phoenix are all powerful dark wizards." Ron whispered, as if it was something terrible.

Harry looked at Hermione in disbelief, and Hermione frowned and nodded hesitantly.

"The phoenix is a mysterious creature, and the dark phoenix is even more so. Wizards believe that, unlike ordinary phoenixes, dark phoenixes are born with their masters and die with them. Hermione bit her lip and said, "The Dark Phoenix has only appeared a few times in history, and each time their owner is an extremely powerful Dark Wizard, and some even believe that the Dark Phoenix comes from hell and is the pet of the gods who rule over darkness and death. The dark phoenix symbolizes darkness and killing, as well as supreme power and great power. ”

Harry was stunned, Hermione's words shocked him, and after a while, "That can't all be true, right?" ”

"That's just legend, Harry." Ron muttered, "Don't scare yourself. ”

Hermione nodded, and although she didn't like Sauron's gloom very much, she comforted Harry, "He's right, it's just a legend, well, it's just rumors, not necessarily true." ”

Ron and Hermione's persuasion worked, and after at least a few days, Harry didn't care about it. The same was true for the other students, who, after the first few days of curiosity and excitement, left the matter behind them.

Harry was now more focused on learning how to fend off the Dementors, and Lupin promised him to take time out of class to teach him the Patronus Charm, a spell to ward off the Dementors. Out of a small sense of pride and some inexplicable stubbornness, Harry didn't tell Sù Sauron about it, though he knew that if he brought it up, Sauron would definitely help him.

However, it didn't last long, probably because of the deep mutual understanding that naturally existed between the twins, and Sauron soon discovered that Harry was hiding something from him.

"Well, I just want to learn how to fight the Dementors." Harry said with some embarrassment, "I don't want to fall off my broomstick again in my next Quidditch match." It just so happened that Professor Lupin was willing to teach me that spell. ”

Sauron raised an eyebrow, looking at Harry without speaking. For a long time, "In that case, then study hard, if there is any difficulty, remember to come to me, I will help." ”

Sauron simply agreed, which was not Harry's expectation, just as Sauron was familiar with Harry, Harry was able to capture Sauron's psychology keenly, and he knew very well that Sauron was very wary of Professor Lupin, even though he did not know why.

"Patronus Charm?" After Harry left, Sauron smiled self-deprecatingly, knowing full well that he could easily use the Patronus Charm, but he would never be able to summon a Patronus.

Section II

In the dark, in the middle of nowhere, unknown conversations go on silently.

"Power, power, glory, whatever you want, I can let you have-"

"Really...... Really......"

"I see the longing of your heart, don't you envy those friends of yours, they are eye-catching; Why do they enjoy a qiē, while you have nothing, you can only compromise under the protection of others. This qiē will change, believe me, I belong to you, and you will get a qiē, like those big guys-"

"I ...... Why should I believe you......"

"Are you cowardly? Look at you, cowering, humble and helpless, living in fear, don't you want to have power, that power from above, to get out of this dark life, to be respected, to never have to live in the shadow of others—"

"I ...... I ......"

"Come—come—I will give you strength, and like him, you will be feared, and you will control the fate of others, and you will no longer have to live like a wretched wretch. Come on-believe me-give me all the qiē-all qiē is very simple, as long as you have me, a qiē desire will become a reality-"

**, will always make people sink, eat the beautiful and dangerous fruit, bury all reason, when the soul falls into the endless abyss, only the twisted humanity and the lost heart are left in the darkness.

Far away in Slytherin, sensing the faint throbbing, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Sauron's mouth......
