Chapter 159
Chapter 160 Nirvana Day
All the chickens Hagrid had raised for two and a half years died, which was undoubtedly eye-catching evidence.
It was proved that Voldemort’s Horcrux had sneaked into Hogwarts and was planning to release the Basilisk.
Combined with Lockhart’s transformation during this period, Ives is almost certain that the diary is on him!
But he has no choice at the moment. He can’t attack the professor. Although it doesn’t seem right to drug the professor…
On the other hand, the difficulty of Veritaserum is beyond Avis’s expectation. Hermione had failed several times. He had expected to finish the Veritaserum before Christmas, but he might have to wait until after the holidays.
……
In the second week of December, Professor McGonagall collected the list of students staying at school for Christmas as usual.
Avis signed on the list of students staying in school because he was going to participate in the duel competition held after Christmas.
Hermione also chose to stay. As the main person making Veritaserum, she had to work overtime during the holidays.
In the past few days, she has been whispering in Ives’s ear:”Evil capitalists, evil capitalists……”
The Weasley children also chose to stay in school.
Last year, because of Scabbers’ incident, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were unable to visit their second son, Charlie, at the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary. This year, they decided to go.
Although Charlie kept writing that he was fine, dragon training was an extremely dangerous job, and Mrs. Weasley was afraid that he was lying.
As for Qiu and the others, they had no reason to stay in school, so they naturally chose to go home and reunite with their families.
The snow this afternoon was extremely violent.
Thick, gray snowflakes danced in the sky, sealing every window. The castle was much darker than usual during the day.
In this way, Avis’s last herbal medicine class of the semester was cancelled.
Professor Sprout had to put socks and scarves on the mandrakes alone in the greenhouse. This was a task that needed to be treated with caution, and she did not trust others to do it.
While Elvis and Hermione were dining in the auditorium, Professor Flitwick suddenly appeared and thrust a note into Elvis’s hand.
“The principal has something to do with you,” he said.”The note contains the password to the principal’s office.”
After hastily finishing the food on the plate, Ivis said goodbye to Hermione and stepped onto the steps leading to the eighth floor of the castle.
He stopped in front of a huge and ugly stone monster and opened the handbook handed to him by Professor Flitwick. The note to him read:”Ice lemon juice.”
After he read out the password, the monster suddenly came to life and jumped to the side, and the wall behind it cracked in half.
He pushed open the heavy oak door and walked in.
In the office,
Dumbledore Standing in front of Fox’s bird’s nest, he turned his back to the door, but as if there were eyes on his back, he said:”Avis, Fox is going to Nirvana.”
Hearing this, Ives hurriedly trotted to his side.
He saw Fox standing on a tall gilded perch. It looked very ridiculous now, like a firefly with half of its feathers plucked out. Chicken.
When he saw Ives approaching, Fox’s eyes showed strong closeness and joy, and a suffocating voice sounded from his mouth.
But Ives inexplicably understood that Fox was calling him to handle the chicken. Put it on.
He gently raised his
hand and stroked Fawkes’ beak.
The old phoenix’s pain seemed to be relieved, and in just a moment, a few more feathers fell off its tail.
Dumbledore looked at it with a smile. Watching this scene.
Suddenly, Fox’s whole body was on fire.
Ives took two steps back. The heat coming from Fox’s body was amazing, and at the same time, it had turned into a fireball.
Fox screamed, and then Disappeared, leaving only a pile of ashes on the floor that had not been completely extinguished.
A small, wrinkled baby bird poked its head out of the ashes – its appearance was as ugly as its newly aged state.
Nirvana Fawkes struggled to open his eyes. His round head swung back and forth between Dumbledore and Ivis, and finally called twice in the direction of Ivis. Dumbledore said with emotion:”The phoenix is really a kind of thing.” A very strange and fascinating life. Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen Fox so close to someone else.
“Maybe you can take it back and raise it for a few days. Dumbledore suggested, and then he winked mischievously,”To be honest, I have been too busy recently and may not have time to take care of Fawkes who has turned back into a fledgling. Do you want to think about it carefully?””
Ives was excited, this is the Phoenix.
Almost without thinking, he agreed to Dumbledore’s suggestion.
Ives stretched out his hand towards Fawkes, and without any resistance, he immediately hugged the Phoenix in his arms.
Dumbledore He looked at this scene in amazement. To be honest, this was the first time he saw Fox getting close to others. In most cases, Phoenix was very cold.
“Professor, how long will Fox stay like this?”Aves teased the phoenix in his arms and expressed his doubts”carelessly”
“That’s a good question,” Dumbledore stroked his long white beard and recalled:”After I signed the contract with Fawkes, it went to nirvana three times, two of which were because it blocked attacks for me. reason. He frowned and said slowly:”Phoenix is a magical, immortal bird. Even death is just a new life for them.””
“I still remember that when Fox passed away in front of my eyes for the first time, I was very sad.”Dumbledore was smiling, but his eyes were full of sadness.
Fox’s first Nirvana was to block Grindelwald’s curse for him.
If it weren’t for its loyalty, the duel would have been won. The outcome is still unknown.
However, although Dumbledore won the duel, he did not feel the joy of victory at all.
After that duel, he lost his best friend.
Even if the wizarding world settled down, he would not have the slightest bit of joy. Joy, only…responsibility.
Dumbledore continued in a joking tone:”I originally planned to find a place to bury Fawkes, but I saw a baby bird crawling out of the pile of ashes.”
“I originally thought that the nirvana of the phoenix was just a legend,” he said with emotion,”What a wonderful magical creature.……”
Ives continued to stare at him with doubtful eyes, because the old principal didn’t answer his initial question after talking for a long time.
Under the pressure of his eyes, Dumbledore hurriedly added:”Of course, within half a year, Fawkes grew back to his original size. Combined with Fawkes’s second Nirvana experience, I think: If the
Phoenix is not because of its lifespan , Nirvana, then half a year later, it will return to its original age.”
After getting the answer he wanted, Ives finally nodded with satisfaction.
