The Dumbledore family will always be favored by the Phoenix, even in the wizarding world, where there are many strange people and strange things.

It is speculated that this is because the Dumbledores have phoenix blood, or that they may have signed a contract with the Phoenix family, but this is only speculation, and the Dumbledores have never responded to this.

Fox Xu had followed Dumbledore for too long, and in addition to Phoenix's natural arrogance, he also had many bad habits. For example, he likes to snatch Ike's food, likes to stand on top of Ike's head, mess up his hair, and peck Ike with his pointed mouth when things don't go well, and there are several hairs in one mouth.

Ike was afraid that he would be bald but not stronger, so he had to let Fox work on top of him.

After all, it's the headmaster's pet, and it's normal to have a little privilege.

Unlike the phoenix in Ike Ike's memory, Fawkes is not so powerful, even if it is magical enough, tears have a powerful healing effect, and singing will increase the courage of the pure-hearted, and it can also release the fear of the dirty inside. Able to enter and exit at will regardless of the anti-phantom transfer barrier, feathers are also an excellent magic material.

A treasure is nothing more than that.

Although Ike wanted to study whether he would get a roasted phoenix or whether it would be reborn if he skewered it and grilled it over the fire, Ike gave up on the tempting idea for the sake of his own hair.

However, Fawkes also exhibits many traits that Ike doesn't know, it is sensitive to danger, it calms the mind of wizards, and it may even know some ancient magic scripts, occasionally pointing out mistakes when Ike writes.

For this reason, Ike had several band-aids wrapped around his right hand.

Entering August, it means that there is only one month left for the holidays. The owl had already sent over a list of books to prepare for the next school year, and the large number of Gilderoy Lockhart's books was a headache for Ike.

Every year, the Hogwarts bursary is fixed, and twenty gold galleons means that even if Ike buys old books, the rest is just enough to buy other things.

If it weren't for the many gold items he had made out of the Philosopher's Stone, Ike wouldn't even have pocket money.

Thankfully, Gringotts collects gold, and although the price is dark, the Galleons in exchange for it will be enough for Ike to buy the things he has been planning for a long time.

For example, a chest that has been cast with the Traceless Stretch Charm cast.

Of course, that's something to think about in a while, Ike isn't going to let Julian give him this year, he's going to stay at the Leaky Cauldron for a few days, and then buy things for the new school year.

As for now, it's still important to read books.

The familiar figure under the oak tree behind the Courtyard of Santa Mary is back, perhaps because of the "oak guardian", Ike will feel safe and relaxed as long as he is next to the tree.

Fawkes also loved the tall oak tree, and whenever Ike sat under it, it would fly up to the tree, jump from branch to branch, and even sing.

It was the first time Ike had heard the song of the phoenix, it was indescribably pleasant, it was a beautiful piece of music that made even the soul feel beautiful, every cell in his body was cheering, the magic was boiling, and it was more active than ever.

When the singing stopped, Ike felt that his magic power had increased greatly, and if he used the magic stone to turn it into gold, Ike felt that he could directly turn into a seventy-five centimeter golden stick before he would feel tired.

It's half the growth, and it's magical.

"The phoenix will sing a song for the person it likes, and will forever enhance the wizard's magic. It's a pity that this song Phoenix sings once for this person, and only this time will have an effect. ”

Dumbledore suddenly appeared under the oak tree, looked at Fawkes cheering among the branches, and explained to Ike with a smile.

"How does it feel?"

"It's very comfortable." Ike squinted his eyes slightly, stretching, indescribably comfortable.

"It's been a long time since Fox has been this happy." Dumbledore was a little distracted, "Phoenixes never belong to anyone, they are the spirits of nature, and they naturally yearn for nature. ”

"I can feel the difference between this oak tree, Mr. Stred." Dumbledore touched the thick trunk of the oak tree, "If you feel it with your heart, you will find that Fawkes is grooming the magic of this tree." It's faint, but it's there. ”

"Does it have magical powers?" Ike was surprised.

"Of course, wizards will unconsciously affect the things around them, even if the impact is small, but after all, it exists. If a wizard lived in the Muggle world for decades, some strange phenomena would occur, and many of the stories that circulated in the Muggle world were derived from this. ”

"You must enjoy sitting under this tree, that's why it's influenced by you and tainted with your magic." Dumbledore pushed his glasses and beckoned to Fawkes on the branch, who landed on his shoulder, "In a way, you created a magical plant, Mr. Stred. ”

"Really? No wonder I find it intimate. Ike patted the trunk of the tree, and the branches of the oak tree swayed slightly, not knowing whether it was responding or the wind blowing.

"Of course, it can be said to be your child." Dumbledore blinked, "Fawkes combed through its magic and would hide its magic fluctuations from the Ministry of Magic." ”

"The Ministry of Magic doesn't allow anything magical to appear in the Muggle world."

"Thank you Fawkes." Ike reached out to touch Fawkes's head, but was pecked again, but fortunately he had a band-aid wrapped around his hand and was not hurt again.

"I'm going to take Fawkes back, thank you for taking care of it these days, Mr. Stred." Dumbledore raised his hand, and the Hermes Book suddenly appeared in his hand, "I think it's time for this book to go back to where it should be." ”

"Of course." Ike's face didn't change, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all, "It's so profound, I can't read it at all now." ”

"Even I didn't read it." Dumbledore nodded, and took out a pair of gold-rimmed eyes and handed them to Ike.

Ike took it and put it on, saw the vast and terrifying magic in Dumbledore's body, turned his head, and saw a few thin silk threads emitting soft light on the oak tree.

"This is a pair of glasses that can make people see the magic movement more clearly, and it is a small gift from Nicol, thank you for protecting the Philosopher's Stone and returning it as promised."

"Thank you." Ike thanked him from the bottom of his heart. It's a very delicate piece of alchemy, and if you eat it thoroughly, it will take Ike's alchemy a step further.

"No thanks, Nicol has a lot of stuff like this, and as I said, it's just a 'little gift.'" Dumbledore pushed his glasses again and winked at Ike.

"By the way, don't worry about the traces, I won't be discovered by the Ministry of Magic." Dumbledore looked at the time and said to Ike, "I have some other business, goodbye, Mr. Stredder." ”

"Goodbye, Professor Dumbledore."

As soon as the words fell, a crisp sound of "pop" was heard, and Dumbledore and Fawkes disappeared in front of them.

Ike pushed his glasses in Dumbledore's way, looked at the tall oak tree, and couldn't help but smile.

"A small gift? Hehehe......"
