Chapter 27: The Call of the Phoenix
Dumbledore carefully checked, ensuring there were no dangerous magical items in the headmaster's office. He nodded slightly and replied kindly, "Of course."
"Well, you go ahead, I'll go first."
The little silver-haired Lolly looked up and finally gazed at the giant Hagrid who suddenly appeared in an abandoned classroom. Her mind recalled the description of Hagrid in the original book. This might be the most familiar to most Harry Potter fans. One more.
Compared to the image of the actor in the past life movie, Hagrid seems taller, but Elena, knowing the giant's kind heart, feels no fear at all. On the contrary, she dares to stretch her finger as she passes by. The fingers secretly prick Hagrid's forearm, a sensation as hard as rock that almost makes her think she has touched a piece of granite.
"Professor, who is this child?"
Hagrid turned around, looking at Elena leaving the class, asking in confusion.
This is the first time he has encountered this. Not only is she not afraid of him, she even dares to poke fingers at bold children who prick his forearm.
"Elena Caslana, a very special student," Dumbledore also noted Elena's slight movement, shrugging helplessly.
After a pause, Dumbledore looked around and waved his wand to close the door again. He looked at Hagrid seriously and said, "I will not discuss your matter now, not just picking up Harry, I need your help. Help me to go to the Gu Ling Pavilion..."
And at the same time, elsewhere.
Elena walked through the spiral staircase guarded by the gigantic rock monster and approached a slightly glazed oak door in front of her, with a door latch half eagle, half brass lion, she gently pushed the door open and entered.
The room's walls were covered with portraits of former headmasters, men and women, all looking elegant, but perhaps due to Dumbledore's absence, the people in the portraits were either absent or quietly closed their eyes at rest.
As described by Dumbledore, the huge wooden table in the center of the room was filled with food, cookies, sweets, cakes, and other snacks.
As Elena was about to reach out and try [the director's special appetizers], a strange voice suddenly sounded from behind her, as if someone was singing.
Elena turned around and saw a large bright red bird standing on the bird stand behind the door, about the size of a swan, with a long golden tail, long beak and claws, and golden - Dumbledore's pet, Fox the Phoenix.
The phoenix, also known as the bird of immortality, is a magical and immortal bird. The Latin poet Ovid said in the poem: "... but there is an animal that is immortal and reproduces immortal copies in the long years. This is the Assyrian bird called the Phoenix..."
It is a kind of magical creature that is hard to truly die. When its body starts to fail, it will actively enter the fire and be reborn. Theoretically, no matter what kind of damage the body has suffered previously, what kind of attack it has received, or even what part is missing, it will magically regenerate after rebirth.
From the original perspective, Fox the Phoenix is undoubtedly one of the most ideal pets for wizards: its tears can heal, detoxify, and it can carry the weight of several people. Its song is magical, and it can send messages and deliver letters. Using Transfiguration, Dumbledore can also use its power to disappear instantly from the headmaster's office (when the DA is caught by the Ministry of Magic), and even "flash" to help the master withstand fatal damage (directly swallowing Voldemort's life spell Avada Kedavra and resurrecting).
Therefore, in Newt Scamander's classification in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," the Phoenix is classified as a XXXX super advanced magical creature. The reason why it is not included in the fifth level of the MOM classification is simply because the Phoenix is not an animal that kills wizards and Dumbledore has proven to be tamed.
"This phoenix is so beautiful."
Elena stared at the Phoenix's rugged chest with strong wings and instinctively licked her lips:
If she remembers correctly, what Professor Dumbledore said a moment ago was that all the food in the room can be eaten?
