บท 72: Chapter 68: Dumbledore: Where’s My Phoenix?
After Kael left.
Dumbledore looked out the window at Anivia that had turned into an ice sculpture on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
He looked at his empty table again.
A trembling hand covered his heart tremblingly.
took away...
This brat took the sweets- away again!
There is something like this?
After giving the gift and finishing the business, you take the gift away yourself???
[Ding! Sorrow and indignation detected!]
[Ding! The treasure chest is being drawn for the host!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a silver treasure chest!]
"Hahaha!"
"See, Dumbledore? This is one of our Slytherin students!"
On the wall of the headmaster's office there are portraits of the previous headmasters of Hogwarts.
These portraits preserve the memories of their lifetimes, allowing them to think, speak, and offer advice.
They can provide guidance when the current headmaster is uncertain.
The one speaking now is the portrait of Phineas Nigellus Black, the most unpopular headmaster in the history of Hogwarts.
He is also the only headmaster of Slytherin origin.
"Albus, I think you should reconsider."
"There are too many unstable factors in the castle now. because of that child." Another portrait also spoke at this time.
Dilys Derwent.
A former headmistress of Hogwarts, she is also a renowned and beloved Healer.
Her portrait hangs not only in Dumbledore's Office along with the portraits of previous headmasters and headmistresses, but also in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries' main admitting area.
So she can move between two portraits at will.
"It's all right, Headmaster Dilys!"
"I believe that child has a good heart," Dumbledore said with a smile.
"He just plays some harmless pranks. Who hasn't when they were young once?"
Dumbledore spent more time playing than Kael did when he was young. Moreover, at his age, he particularly enjoyed mischievous children.
"He, like me, is accompanied by a phoenix, so his heart must be bright."
"Don't you think so, Fawkes?" are you happy to see another of your kind at Hogwarts today?"
He recalled the scene where Fawkes hovered around Anivia earlier. The smile on Dumbledore's face widened even more. His companion of many years finally had other partners.
However, after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Fawkes' response.
"Fawkes?" Dumbledore turned to look at Fawkes' favorite perch in confusion.
His eyes widened in astonishment when he saw that the perch was empty...
Not only was there no phoenix, but he couldn't even see a single feather.
Dumbledore looked in disbelief. "No, where is my phoenix?"
"Well, Albus, that's what I was about to tell you..."
"While you were admiring Anivia outside the window, Fawkes Apparated away."
"I think it's time to find that child..."
At that moment, the portrait of Dilys Derwent on the wall said faintly.
Dumbledore: "????"
[Ding! Grief and outrage detected!]
[Ding! The Treasure Chest is being drawn for the host!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a Golden Treasure Chest!]
. . .
"You said you wanted to follow me?"
Kael looked at the phoenix named Fawkes on his shoulder in bewilderment. Just half a minute ago, the phoenix had suddenly apparated onto his shoulder. To his surprise, Kael seemed to be able to roughly perceive the meaning of Fawkes' chirps.
"Chirp! (Yes!)"
Hearing this chirp, Kael's expression suddenly brightened. What good luck! He went to the principal's office and brought back Dumbledore's phoenix?
He knew that Fawkes had been Dumbledore's partner for a long time, and Dumbledore would be very sad if he found out that Fawkes had left him.
But to be fair, Kael really had nothing to say to Dumbledore. He was like his grandparent!
So, here's the conclusion: since they were grandparent and grandchild, it made sense for Kael to inherit a phoenix as an early inheritance, right?
"Don't worry, Fawkes!"
"Follow me from now on, and I promise you'll eat delicious food and drink nice drinks!"
"Leave the matter of finding a mate to me!"
"Chirp!"
Fawkes, hearing the promise he wanted to hear, immediately brushed his beak against Kael's hair excitedly to show his affection.
As they made their way back to the Slytherin common room, Kael noticed a group of older Slytherins discussing something in the common area. Cassandra sat alone on a sofa.
As soon as they saw Kael return, the older students immediately stopped talking and subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
Blood Demon! Just the thought of meeting his eyes was scary!
"Kael, are you back?" Cassandra called out as soon as she saw him. "Is that phoenix outside just now yours?"
The commotion caused by Anivia's summoning was significant. The temperature at Hogwarts Castle was still below zero, and many wizards were alarmed thinking dementors were here. Even the younger Slytherins had run upstairs from the lounge to see what was happening when they heard the noise. They caught a glimpse of the ice crystal phoenix through the window, sparking the discussion.
Cassandra was no exception to this curiosity; she suddenly recalled Kael telling her to add an extra blanket tonight.
"That's right, her name is Anivia, and she is an ice crystal phoenix," Kael replied nonchalantly. "She's my partner. She wasn't on the island before."
It's just an ice crystal phoenix.
He even abducted Dumbledore's Fawkes.
"Is it really yours?"
The vision brought by Anivia when she appeared just now was not fake. The atmosphere plummeted, and the sky was filled with wind and snow.
This ability to change the weather with ease, coupled with her crystal-clear and powerful physique, left no one doubting the fighting power of the Ice Crystal Phoenix.
A guess is just a guess. But upon hearing Kael confirm her suspicion, the arrogant Cassandra couldn't help but lose her composure in front of Kael this time. She covered her mouth and let out an exclamation.
Cassandra, who had always been the best among her peers, began to doubt her own abilities again. Was Kael really the same age as she was?
[Ding! Shock emotion detected!]
[Ding! The treasure chest is being drawn for the host!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a golden treasure chest!]
"Wait, the one on your shoulder is..." At this moment, Cassandra suddenly felt that the phoenix perched on Kael's shoulder looked familiar.
"This is Professor Dumbledore's phoenix."
"His name is Fawkes."
"You've seen him in Diagon Alley before."
"How come Professor Dumbledore's phoenix is by your side?" Cassandra looked puzzled.
"Oh, I don't know why..."
"Maybe I'm just too handsome?"
"To be honest, I bear the handsomeness that I shouldn't have at my age."
"Don't let my laughing and joking all day fool you; I'm actually under a lot of pressure!" Kael sighed.
[Ding! Twenty shock emotions detected!]
[Ding! The treasure chest is being drawn for the host!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 7 silver treasure chests and 14 bronze treasure chests!]
As soon as the words fell, a ton of treasure chest appeared.
Although the older Slytherins present did not speak, they all pricked up their ears and quietly listened to the conversation between the two. Hearing Kael's extravagant remarks, the younger snakes felt uneasy.
Do you hear what you're saying? Is this even human?
Going out for a stroll and bringing back two phoenixes? Is this what you call pressure?
How about sharing some of that pressure with us?
"Okay, Cassie, come with me!" Kael pulled Cassandra as he was about to head back.
"It's so late; where are you going?" Cassandra followed with a blush on her face, asking in a low voice as they left the common room.
"Aren't you going to regret it?"
"What about the bet we made? The loser has to give the winner a back massage every day!"
"Okay, okay, I know. I won't regret it!" Cassandra said, though her face turned even redder.
<In the common room:>
After Kael left, silence enveloped the common room.
"What are you going to do?" At that moment, the female prefect Gemma Farley spoke up.
Since noon, Kael's presence had been like a dark cloud, weighing heavily on the hearts of the younger snakes, creating a feeling of suffocating despair.
If we Fight ourselves!
There's definitely no way to win!
Fight with our families?!!
Our Families will banish us!!
One day of the three-day deadline given by Kael had already passed, leaving only two days left.
"This is simply humiliating!"
"He wants to trample us all down!"
"Slytherin is the house of us pure bloods!" a fifth-year snake said indignantly.
"So, what are you going to do? Start a bloody family feud with him?"
Gemma Farley words left the little snakes speechless.
"But even the lord back then never treated his fellow students from the same house like this!"
Another little snake couldn't help but chime in. The lord he was referring to was obviously Voldemort.
"But did even the lord had Kael's strength in the first grade?"
Gemma Farley countered. Everyone fell silent this time, and no one answered.
It is true that Voldemort was a powerful Dark Lord in the magical world, but he grew up in a Orphanage in the Muggle world and had never been exposed to magic before coming to Hogwarts.
What about Kael?
It had only been a few days since he started school, yet he was already able to cast "Avada Kedavra" without a wand. Plus, he had such a terrifying phoenix following him.
And this is just his first-year in Hogwarts!
In terms of potential, the two are completely incomparable!
No one can predict how far Kael will grow in the future. This is beyond the comprehension of the anyone.
"Whatever you think, I'll go to lord Kael tomorrow!"
Prefect Gemma Farley had made up her mind. Even the way she referred to Kael had changed.
What about Muggles or half-bloods? The so-called supremacy of pure blood is just a slogan shouted by these pure-blood families to protect themselves. As long as it brings them glory and maintains their status, they'll shout that everyone is equal!
Otherwise, these families wouldn't have embraced Voldemort, the Dark Lord of half-blood origin. Now, a person with potential far greater than that of the Dark Lord has appeared...
More fortunate thing is that Kael has no followers yet!
After speaking, Gemma Farley got up and left the common room. The remaining little snakes looked at each other in blank dismay.
No one was in the mood to chat anymore. They all got up and returned to their dormitories.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for the students of Hogwarts because of thebitter cold and snow. This directly caused Madam Pomfrey's cold medicine to run out in the school infirmary the next day.
A group had to be urgently mobilized from St. Mungo's Hospital to barely meet the needs of these students.
The Ice Crystal Phoenix had become the hottest topic at Hogwarts.
<Morning>
<Library>
"You mean the phoenix outside is yours?" Hermione exclaimed, covering her mouth as she looked at Kael in surprise. "You also abducted Dumbledore's phoenix?"
The first class in the morning was History of Magic, and there was no second class, so the two met and went up to the library.
This time, Kael was holding a book titled Secrets of the Darkest Art, which was kept in the restricted section.
For ordinary little wizards, the restricted area was absolutely off-limits. But for Kael...
What? You said I sneaked in to get books in the restricted area? Do you have proof? Dare to slander me? Believe it or not, I'll cast Avada Kedavra on you!
He just covered the book outer skin and used a small charm to block out its contents. Even under the watchful eye of the librarian, Mrs. Pince, Kael dared to flip through the book without hesitation.
"Oh, Hermione, keep your voice down! I don't want to be kicked out by Madam Pince."
"I'm a born master of magical beasts; what's wrong with raising two phoenixes?"
"And it wasn't me who kidnapped him; it was Fawkes who insisted on following me!"
"Fawkes, am I right?"
Kael asked the phoenix perched on his shoulder.
"Chirp?"
"Look, Fawkes said he would like to follow his handsome master!" Kael shrugged.
Now, the two Eevees had been replaced by Fawkes. One Eevee was held in Cassandra's arms all day long, while the other preferred to hide in a suitcase during the day and sleep in the shade. At night, it comes out to roam around Hogwarts Castle.
And in just two days... Mrs. Norris, Filch's cat, had become so afraid that she doesn't go out at night. She also made the wizards who liked to explore at night feel an emptiness in their hearts. It always felt like something was watching them, and they couldn't even muster the energy to venture outside.
[Ding! Shock emotion detected!]
[Ding! The treasure chest is being drawn for the host!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a silver treasure chest!]
Even so... Hermione, who had been a good student since childhood, still found it unacceptable. The phoenix of the principal was kidnapped? Was this really going to end well? Hermione began to faintly worry about Kael in her heart.
"Kael, what are you reading?"
But Hermione's eyes were quickly drawn to the pictures in the tome Kael was holding. It depicted a woman howling miserably and not wearing much. The illustrations were vividly drawn, and just looking at them made her uneasy...
"I'm reading Secrets of the Darkest Art!"
"It's still early for you!"
"If you're interested in black magic, I can teach you when you're in sixth or seventh grade!" Kael replied casually.
"Are you studying black magic???"
Hermione eyes widened in astonishment, and her voice raised a few notches uncontrollably. But beneath her surprise lay deep concern.
"Oh no, of course not! In fact, the book only discusses some dark magic effects. There are no specific spells, and the really dangerous books on the Dark Arts in the Restricted Section are in Dumbledore's office."
"The old man hid them very well. I've been there several times but haven't found a chance!"
Kael tried to reassure the little witch. However, his words only heightened her anxiety.
Hermione: "????"
You haven't found an opportunity? Are you trying to get yourself into trouble?
