Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 41 The Phoenix and the Oak

The Dumbledore family will always be favored by the phoenix, even in the magical world where there are many strange people and strange things, this is a rare thing.

People speculate that this is because the Dumbledore family has the blood of the phoenix, or may have signed a contract with the Phoenix clan, but it is only a guess, and the Dumbledore family has never responded to this.

Perhaps Fox has followed Dumbledore for too long, besides Phoenix's natural arrogance, he also has many bad habits.For example, it likes to snatch Ike's food, and likes to stand on top of Ike's head, making a mess of his hair, and even pecks Ike with its pointed mouth if it doesn't go well, and there are several hairs in one bite.

Ike was very afraid that he would go bald early in his life but not become stronger, so he had to let Fox dominate his head.

After all, it's the principal's pet, so it's normal to have some privileges.

Unlike the phoenix in Ike's memory, Fox does not have such a powerful power. Even if it is magical enough, tears have a powerful healing effect, and singing will increase courage for those with a pure heart, and it can also release for those with a dirty heart. fear.It can ignore the anti-apparition enchantment to enter and exit at will, and feathers are also excellent magic materials.

A body is a treasure, nothing more than that.

Although Ike wanted to study whether if you skewered a phoenix and grilled it over a fire, would you get a cooked phoenix or would it come back from the ashes, considering his hair, Ike gave up on it. Tempting thoughts.

However, Fox also exhibited many characteristics that Ike did not know. It was very sensitive to danger, would calm the mind of the wizard, and might even understand some ancient runes, occasionally pointing out mistakes when Ike wrote.

For this reason, several Band-Aids were wrapped around Ike's right hand.

Entering August, that means the holiday season is only one month away.Owl had already sent over the list of books to be prepared for the next school year, and a large number of Gilderoy Lockhart's works gave Ike a headache.

Hogwarts' bursaries are fixed every year, and the twenty gold galleons mean that even if Ike buys old books, the rest is just enough to buy other things.

If it weren't for using the Philosopher's Stone to get a lot of gold items, Ike wouldn't even have pocket money.

Fortunately, Gringotts accepts gold. Although the price is very low, the Galleons in exchange are enough for Ike to buy the things he has planned for a long time.

For example, a box that has been cast with the traceless stretching spell.

Of course, that will be something to consider after a while. Ike is not going to let Julian send him off this year. He will stay at the Leaky Cauldron for a few days, and then he will buy things for the new school year.

As for now, it is still important to read books.

The familiar figure under the oak tree behind the Santa Maria courtyard has returned. Perhaps it is the role of the "oak tree guardian". As long as Ike is next to the tree, Ike will feel safe and relaxed.

Fox also likes this tall oak tree very much. As long as Ike sits under the tree, he will fly to the tree, jump from branch to branch, and even sing.

That was the first time Ike heard the singing of the phoenix. It was indescribably sweet, and it was a music that made the soul feel wonderful. Every cell in his body was cheering, the magic power was boiling, and it was unprecedentedly active.

When the singing stopped, Ike felt that his magic power had been greatly increased. If he used the magic stone to turn a stone into gold, Ike felt that he could directly turn into a 75cm gold rod before he felt tired.

Grow in half and it's magic.

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

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

"How does it feel?"

"It's very comfortable." Ike squinted his eyes slightly and stretched himself, feeling unspeakably comfortable.

"Fox hasn't been this happy for a long time." Dumbledore looked a little dazed. "The phoenix never belonged to anyone. They are natural elves, and they yearn for nature naturally."

"I can feel that this oak tree is very different, Mr. Strider." Dumbledore touched the thick trunk of the oak tree, "If you feel it with your heart, you will find that Fox is combing the magic power of this tree. Although It's faint, but it's there."

"It has magic power?" Ike was surprised.

"Of course, wizards will unconsciously affect things around them, even if the influence is small, but they exist after all. If a wizard has lived in the Muggle world for decades, some strange phenomena will appear. Many stories circulated in the Muggle world That's where it comes from."

"You should like sitting under this tree very much, so it will be affected by you and stained with your magic power." Dumbledore pushed his glasses and waved to Fox on the branch, and Fox fell on him shoulder, "In a way, you have created a magic plant, Mr. Strider."

"Really? No wonder I think it is very kind." Ike patted the trunk, and the branches and leaves of the oak tree shook slightly. I don't know if it was a response or the blowing of the wind.

"Of course, it can be said to be your child." Dumbledore blinked, "Fox combed its magic power, and will hide its magic power fluctuations to avoid being discovered by the Ministry of Magic."

"The Ministry of Magic does not allow magical things to appear in the Muggle world."

"Then I really want to thank Fox." Ike stretched out his hand to touch Fox's head, but was pecked again. Fortunately, the band-aid was wrapped around his hand, but he didn't get hurt again.

"I'm going to take Fox back, thank you for taking care of it these days, Mr. Strider." Dumbledore raised his hand, and the "Hermes Script" suddenly appeared in his hand, "I think this book It's time to get back to where it should be."

"Of course." Ike's face didn't change, and he didn't feel the embarrassment of being caught at all. "It's too profound, and now I can't understand it at all."

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

Ike took it over and put it on, and saw the vast and terrifying magic power 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 allow people to see the magic movement better. It is a small gift from Nico. Thank you for protecting the Philosopher's Stone and returning it as promised."

"Thank you." Ike thanked him sincerely.This is a very delicate alchemy work, and a thorough understanding of it will make Ike's alchemy go a step further.

"No need to thank you, Nico has many things like this, 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 Zongsi, I won't be discovered by the Ministry of Magic if I'm here." Dumbledore looked at the time and said to Ike, "I have something else to do, so goodbye, Strider gentlemen."

"Goodbye, Professor Dumbledore."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a crisp "pop", and Dumbledore and Fox disappeared in front of his eyes.

Ike followed Dumbledore's example and pushed his glasses. Looking at the tall oak tree, he couldn't help but smile.

"Small gift? Hehehe..."
