Chapter 29: The Great Phoenix Hunt
From his point of view, it is obviously impossible for someone who knows the address of the noble home of the Black family to be from a Muggle family.
Unconcerned with Phoenix, Elena attempted to take a small step forward. The phoenix standing on the wooden table nervously flapped its wings, and its long golden beak threatened Elena dangerously. Peck. The previous step would peck her immediately without hesitation.
"Wow, how fierce."
The little silver-haired Loli stuck out her tongue and took a step back, as if the "Fantastic Beast" recorded by Mr. Newt Scamander was not entirely correct. At least the adjectives "phoenix" and "moderate" didn't quite match.
"Wait, would you really want to eat the phoenix? Give up, it is impossible, and you cannot successfully catch the phoenix. As a firebird, the phoenix fears no flame or high temperature. At the same time, it can summon flames when in danger, and then it is reborn from the ashes. I have never heard of a phoenix being successfully hunted since ancient times."
This was spoken by an old witch with long silver curls, in an extra soft tone, sounding like the nuns of the Abbey of London, each sentence having a pleasant ending.
Dairis Derwent, one of the few female headmasters at Hogwarts, served during the years 1741-1768, and before that, from 1722-1741, she was a therapist at St. Mungo's Hospital. Due to her previous work experience, she had contacted and learned a lot about dangerous creatures and high magic.
"Dear Headmistress Dairis, in fact, I have already devised how to cook it."
Elena turned and looked at the old silver-haired witch, smiling sweetly.
"As long as the phoenix's ignition method is not nuclear fusion, you just need to replace all the oxygen in its environment with inert gas, and then find a way to heat the local gas and vaporize it directly at high temperature."
"The only question now is... how to catch this delicious phoenix? Well, no, it now has a new name [the rare Scottish long-tailed turkey]."
Elena looked around, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"I've got it!"
I saw the little silver-haired Loli take a shabby wizard hat from the shelf behind a huge claw-shaped table. She carefully examined it in the dark hole within it. If aligned correctly, it should be possible to completely fit the phoenix's head into it.
At this moment, the old tattered wizard's hat suddenly twisted in Elena's hands, cracked at the brim, and a panic-inducing sound escaped from within.
"Madam, what do you intend to do?! I, the pensive hat of Hogwarts, brimming with wisdom and reflective magic, do you realize what you are doing so rudely?!"
"Silence! Of course, I know what I am doing, dear pensive hat."
Elena vigorously rubbed the large hat in her hands, pinched the brim with both hands, and aimed the mouth of the black hole at the long golden beak of Phoenix Fox, blinking proudly. "This way, we should avoid harming this hat, which is particularly significant for Hogwarts. After all, if the hat breaks, it will affect the sorting... onnected to this year."
Elena lifted her head, her eyes met Phoenix Fox's alert ones, she smiled slightly, opened the pensive hat, and pushed it forcefully forward. Human wisdom lies in using tools for hunting!
"Do not worry, all will hurt at once, soon."
The pensive hat wobbled clumsily from side to side, struggling more and more, and accompanied by Elena's movements, it let out a cry.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
"Are you not using the wise magical hat as a trap for beasts?"
"Stop! Are you a demon?"
"Ah, ah, ah!"
