Chapter 776: Phoenix Rebirth

~6 min read 1,174 words

On the third day of the Easter break, everyone was talking joyfully about their gains in Hogsmeade.

"Hey, did you get into that shop? There were too many people there, I almost didn't squeeze in."

"Of course, if I had that many Galleons, it would be even better; thirty-seven Galleons, I swear to Merlin, I actually don't think it's expensive!"

"I've already written home, I think I'll be able to receive that magical item soon..."

Three senior wizards walked past Sean's side; their conversation was loud, and everyone around could hear it clearly.

But it didn't attract the slightest attention, because almost everyone was talking about this matter.

At the Gryffindor table, the Gryffindors who originally liked to collect Chocolate Frog cards were no longer discussing today's gains;

At the Ravenclaw table, the wizards who liked to sit in the Green Bookstore couldn't help but think of those magical mirrors;

At the Hufflepuff table, the little badgers suddenly felt that the sweets from Honeydukes were not as sweet.

If someone were willing to give them a magic mirror, they would be willing to trade the roast chicken they found when they were hungry late at night.

Only at the Slytherin table, a small group of people were surrounded, and there were shouts from time to time.

"Young Master Ma Erfu, these are..."

A short Slytherin said curiously.

In the crowd, Ma Erfu's face was held high.

"Very nice, isn't it?"

Ma Erfu said kindly,

"However, perhaps some people can also get some gold to buy some magic hand mirrors.

For example, the Wei Silai family, they can sell those broken mirrors; I think there are museums that would offer a price for them."

A group of Slytherins laughed loudly.

"Hey!"

Luo En, who was being mocked, stood up immediately.

Ha Li was on his left; at this time, some content from books appeared in his head inexplicably.

The "Auror Manual" that Sean gave him wrote: Aurors are in a state of emergency during the execution of tasks; at this time, Aurors have the right to deal with inexplicable provocations and obstructions immediately.

Very strange...

Ha Li thought, but he liked this feeling very much.

No one had ever told him what was right and what was wrong before; he could only grope for himself.

Now, he could use the Auror standard to demand of himself.

If possible, he would become an Auror.

Thinking of this, Ha Li's breathing became a bit rapid.

"Ha Li..."

Luo En shook his arm, his eyes glancing at the books on Ha Li's desk more than once.

Since that Quidditch match ended, Ha Li had inexplicably liked reading books; it was really strange.

And the mockery at the Slytherin table continued:

"If you ask me, Wei Silai should be..."

Ma Erfu was originally holding forth, but suddenly stopped his words.

A black-haired wizard holding books was passing by here.

Sean glanced at the Slytherin table and fixed his gaze on the colored window; at this moment, it was just the dawn of the day.

He didn't care about the Slytherins who suddenly fell silent, turning instead toward the spiral staircase.

"Young Master Ma Erfu..."

A weak voice was speaking.

Ma Erfu glared fiercely at the wizard who spoke, and only after the black-haired young wizard left did he continue the topic just now.

And Luo En clearly didn't intend to let him continue speaking, walking straight toward here.

Ha Li followed behind him, and behind Ha Li, the Wei Silai twins popped out from nowhere.

"Hold this—"

Fred said strangely, taking out something like a mirror from his bag; it had a soft horn and was snow-white all over.

"Dear little Ronny."

George immediately squeezed Luo En's head with his fist.

Luo En was still bewildered when he saw Fred and George put a mirror in his hand.

"The museum gave us some remuneration."

Fred winked at the Slytherins, especially the Quidditch team captain Ma Kusi.

"Very generous remuneration... Alright, we still have to send a copy to Jin Ni, a seven-sided mirror—

By the way, Ha Li, this is yours. Don't forget to give the other copy to the great Mr. Green."

George stuffed two more into Ha Li's hand, and then the twins swept away like a gust of wind.

"Why is it the Unicorn version!"

Luo En yelled.

"Hey! That's very beautiful!"

Gryffindor's Pavati Petier retorted.

"I know... but, but... this isn't for boys!"

Luo En's face flushed like a Fire-serpent.

"This is the Golden Snitch version introduced in Wizarding Weekly."

Ha Li placed the magic hand mirror in the air with great interest; it vibrated its two transparent wings and followed behind Ha Li.

"This is unfair—"

Luo En was immediately indignant.

He no longer had the mood to observe Young Master Ma Erfu, whose face was blushing and then turning green.

At the same time, Sean's hand mirror rippled again.

For the past two days, the young wizards' enthusiasm for calling had been rising day by day; many times the magic hand mirror was in an open state, and Sean had gotten used to it.

In the past, he was very happy to listen, but now...

"Knock, knock, knock."

The door to the Headmaster's office was knocked.

"Not a very usual guest, but I always welcome them."

Dumbledore's voice was as wise and kind as ever.

"Headmaster Dumbledore."

After Sean walked in, he could see Dumbledore signing a pile of documents with a quill.

Headmaster Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes, perched on the golden perch by the door; it was as big as a swan, and its bright red and golden feathers were dazzling.

It shook its long tail feathers and blinked at Sean.

"Sit down,"

Dumbledore put down the quill with a sense of relief and looked at Sean with a smile,

"My ears tell me that it sometimes wants to hear young minds give advice too much...

What thoughts do you have about that stone, or our future? Any thoughts?"

"The Resurrection Stone has been cast with a powerful curse by Voldemort," Sean said, "It must have a magical creature wear it for the curse to take effect; otherwise, the Resurrection Stone cannot be used."

"Oh, I could imagine it would be like that."

Dumbledore was still squinting.

"I think..."

Sean glanced quietly at Fawkes, and the phoenix stepped on his shoulder without ceremony.

"Of course it's feasible, and I'm very happy,"

Dumbledore smiled kindly,

"I'm very happy you didn't think of other ideas...

Nirvana Day is not far away, dear Mr. Fawkes will be very happy to do us a favor."

Dumbledore touched the phoenix's head, and Fawkes affectionately pecked at Dumbledore's wrist.

Sean felt settled in his heart.

He knew that Mr. Fawkes could even swallow the Killing Curse, and the Killing Curse was one of the most powerful curses.

Therefore, he had been guessing whether Mr. Fawkes could also swallow this curse.

Now it seemed his guess was correct.

There is also an update in the evening. ===== CHAPTER 777 =====
