Chapter 42 42: The way of heaven brings about reincarnation!
The phoenix named Fox used its beak to gently tidy up Ian’s messy hair.
The atmosphere in the air is somewhat solidified.
Big eyes stared at small eyes.
Dumbledore’s raised hand didn’t matter whether he continued to raise it or put it down. After all, the old man with all the Occlumency points couldn’t hide the embarrassment on his face.
"It seems that Fox likes you very much. This is really rare. Most of the time, Fox's attitude towards human beings can be regarded as relatively cold."
Dumbledore could only use words to break it. I am now in a slightly embarrassing situation.
"Professor..."
Ian knew clearly that the fluffy bird on his head was definitely one of the most terrifying creatures in the magic world. He asked for help Look at Dumbledore.
Trying to maintain the balance of his head.
Although I have always been curious about phoenixes, just like Ye Gong loves dragons, cat lovers who like lions will probably not want to have a kiss with a lion.
"Don't worry, the Phoenix has superior intelligence than humans. It's just playing with you." Dumbledore's eyes behind the frame were also full of surprise at this time.
He has indeed never seen Fox so close to anyone other than himself. Even those kind and brave little wizards will not let Fox take care of their "feathers" so closely.
Yes.
Fox now looks like he is preening Ian's feathers, very intimate.
"Ms. Elena said that you usually like to play with birds. Maybe you also have the gift of affinity with magical animals, just like Master Newt Scamander."
This Probably the most reasonable explanation Dumbledore could come up with. As we all know, only members of the Dumbledore family have the ability to summon the Phoenix in crisis.
The life of this special and powerful magical animal does not originate from generations of reproduction, but is a response to a certain bloodline owned by the Dumbledore family.
Maybe other families may have similar bloodlines.
However.
Just talking about Fawkes, the phoenix, it was born for Albus Dumbledore, and its will and emotions should only have a deep connection with Albus Dumbledore.
"Newt Scamander? Is he the author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"?" Ian still did not dare to move, trying to maintain the balance of his body and head.
The wealthy people in Dubai will also say that the lions they raise are very docile. Do you think the servants around the wealthy people in Dubai dare to gamble?
"Yes, he and I are old friends, and we once fought closely together." Dumbledore stared at the person and bird in front of him, his eyes flashing slightly inexplicably.
"If he knew there were kids like you in the school, he might not refuse my invitation to serve. It seems that I need to write a temptation letter to Newt when I go back."
Dumbledore had an expectant smile on his face.
"Well, I don't think I have that kind of talent... I just feel your bird playing with me..." Ian could feel the phoenix above his head moving.
It has already started to groom Ian's eyebrows. This dangerous zone is only a little distance away from the eyeballs, making Ian very worried that he will get such a peck.
God knows if Phoenix is curious about the moving eyeballs.
It’s so scary.
Who would have thought that a master of playing with birds would one day be played by a real bird!
"Okay, Fawkes, we should go back."
Dumbledore saw Ian's nervousness, and he finally called the Phoenix.
“Qiang Qiang!”
After letting out a reluctant cry, the phoenix still responded to Dumbledore’s call. It flew gently from Ian’s head and transformed into a human being. A flash of red light returned to Dumbledore.
"If you need any help, you can come to me or Professor Snape. He is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, and we will be happy to help you solve your problems."
I don’t know what Dumbledore said. Is it referring to magic research or other things? He smiled at Ian, waved his hand, and disappeared into the room instantly along with the Phoenix.
The ups and downs of space gradually calmed down.
Back in the quiet living room, Ian was left alone with lingering fears.
Probably the reason for the shock.
He didn't notice that a delicate texture on the back of his hand was gradually disappearing - in fact, even Dumbledore didn't notice that it had lit up before.
Maybe.
It’s because no one can see it except Ian.
……
“Hu~”
The space was distorted.
Dumbledore's figure appeared in the corridor of Hogwarts Castle.
Night falls.
The corridors of the castle are covered by a soft and mysterious moonlight veil. The ancient wall lamps along both sides of the winding corridors emit a dim and warm light. "Fox, you were a little too rude today and scared that child." Dumbledore walked to the window, and the phoenix rested on his shoulder.
"Qiang Qiang!"
The fiery red phoenix whispered softly.
"You mean, you think he needs your care?" Dumbledore did not speak the language of Phoenix, but after all, he had lived with Fox for many years.
“Qiang!”
Phoenix responded again.
"It's incredible...two special children."
A gust of night wind passed through the window.
Dumbledore looked at the moon outside the window, with a calm expression on his old face. However, in those deep and dazzling eyes, there seemed to be a completely different reflection of a man and a woman.
He was thinking.
Doubtful.
Whispering in a low voice.
"I just hope it's not what I imagined..."
The old man's figure looked a little stooped in the night wind, with a sense of exhaustion.
And at this moment.
“Da da da~”
Footsteps sounded.
A man wrapped in a black robe walked from the depths of the castle, holding several boxes in his hands. The smell of medicinal herbs began to permeate the air.
"Sev."
Dumbledore did not look back, but he accurately called the person's name.
"Hey, Albus, it looks like you are starting to have insomnia again. Maybe I can give you a bottle of Dreamless Sleep Potion to save you from at least one night of nightmares."
Snape stopped with a smile on his face.
"I just came back from outside."
Dumbledore finally turned around and looked at the box in Snape's hand, "Although I do feel that tonight I will Insomnia, but I still want to get rid of my dependence on potions."
Faced with such a response.
Snape just nodded.
"Stupid choice."
He is still so venomous.
“Aren’t you still going to make the Felixir?”
Dumbledore judged what Snape was doing from the medicinal ingredients in Snape’s hands. This is probably a way to change the subject.
"If you want to drink medicine, I will be here tonight."
Snape picked up his feet again and walked towards his office.
And at this moment.
"Wait a moment."
Dumbledore suddenly spoke.
“Changed your mind?”
Snape turned back expressionlessly.
"I just want to ask for something else. Of course, this request is just to satisfy my curiosity. I hope you will not cause any misunderstandings."
Dumbledore seems to be After considering his words, and seeing Snape showing an impatient expression, he hesitated and asked in a lowered voice.
“When you have time, can you go back and check the Prince family’s genealogy to see if there has been any intermarriage between the Prince family and the Dumbledore family in the last five generations? ”
The same corridor.
The same two people.
However.
This time.
It was Snape's turn to be confused.
