In the Apocalypse, I Can Enter Hogwarts

Chapter 84 The Phoenix Soaring over the Gryphon

Hermione thought for a moment after hearing this and then said, "Alright, you're right, otherwise we really might be late. But I think you've remembered everything today, right?..."

The girl was very obedient when it came to topics like attending class or being late. But this last sentence left him scratching his head. What had she remembered?

"Pfft... Haha." Hermione looked at Ian's bewildered expression, and her silvery laughter rang out.

But then she stopped smiling, looked at Ian very seriously, and said in a somewhat weak tone, "You're not allowed to go crazy like this alone again. If you encounter any problems, remember to tell me in time, even if I can't help you, you still have to tell me."

Ian really liked Hermione when she was serious. When a girl is serious, she always has a special kind of charm, especially with her stubborn expression and sparkling eyes right now. She looks like a little kitten baring its teeth at you.

Hermione pouted, a little annoyed at not getting the reply she wanted right away. Seeing this, Ian decisively followed his heart and immediately replied, "Of course, I'll definitely tell you next time."

Hearing this answer, Hermione nodded in satisfaction, stood up, and looked at the phoenix, saying, "Then let's go back. What should I do? Ride on its back?"

"No need, no need, you just need to grab the phoenix's claws, you don't need to worry about anything else." Ian quickly stopped Hermione from this dangerous idea, not because of safety concerns, but mainly because he was a little selfish.

He didn't want to see Hermione wearing the silk stockings he had given her and then riding a phoenix, even if the phoenix belonged to him. He would only allow her to ride it after he had invented the magical creature Animagus and transformed himself into a phoenix.

"Hmm... okay, are you really okay? I have a feeling I might lose my grip and fall," Hermione said somewhat uncertainly.

Ian had considered taking Hermione with him and having the phoenix Apparate to the Gryffindor common room, but the thought of belonging to Ravenclaw made him abandon the idea.

Last time he entered the Gryffindor common room, Percy had opened the door for him, but this time, with Hermione, he couldn't go in. There was no other reason than Hermione's lack of prestige; it might even cause the girl to be ostracized in the house, which was the last thing he wanted.

Therefore, Ian could only patiently explain, "Come on, listen to me. First, close your eyes, then hold on tight. In the blink of an eye, you'll be back in the lounge."

Seeing that Hermione obediently did as instructed, Ian nodded gently to the phoenix.

A soft "snap" sounded, marking the activation of the teleportation spell and the tearing of space.

……

Meanwhile, the Grand Hyatt's common lounge would be brightly lit, bustling with people bragging, copying homework, playing Wizard Chess, and preparing to play pranks—in short, a lively and lively place.

After all, the curfew had only been in effect for a short while, and no one could expect these energetic little lions to go to sleep now.

"Snap..." Hermione and the phoenix appeared instantly in the center of the Gryffindor common room.

Hermione's original intention was simply to return to her dormitory, but Phoenix listened to Ian, so she chose to make a very conspicuous entrance in the center.

There's a saying that goes, "The scariest thing is a sudden silence..."

Phoenixes are extremely rare magical creatures in the wizarding world. Only two are known to have been tamed: Fawkes, who lives with Dumbledore; and Spark, the phoenix, who is the mascot of the Motora Quidditch team in New Zealand.

One is the greatest white wizard of this century, and the other is a world-renowned Quidditch team. It is clear that ordinary wizards would rarely have the opportunity to even watch a phoenix up close, let alone touch it.

It's simply because these beautiful and proud creatures are so rare and powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn't have named themselves the Order of the Phoenix when fighting Voldemort, though there were other reasons as well.

Getting back to the point, the entire Gryffindor common room was eerily quiet at that moment, with everyone staring blankly at the scene before them.

Unlike other phoenixes, Ian's physical guardian phoenix is ​​more noble, its entire body shimmering with a brilliant silver glow, making it look even more mysterious and unpredictable, as if it had stepped out of mythology.

Moreover, it was much larger than a typical phoenix, with a wingspan estimated to be at least 1.5 meters wide. It hovered in mid-air, the scattered points of light on its wings acting like a shield, firmly protecting the girl beside it.

Time passed, and the young wizards in the lounge gradually came to their senses. Just as they were about to step forward for a closer look, Percy broke the silence first: "Miss Granger, I think this is a phoenix, isn't it?"

At this moment, Percy truly lived up to his title of prefect. His voice wasn't loud, but it was full of energy. In an instant, he stopped a large group of restless little lions, took control of the situation, and made the others wait quietly for Hermione's answer.

Anyone who has ever owned a cat knows that felines are always energetic and curious during their kittenhood, and are also more likely to cause trouble.

"Yes, Mr. Weasley. But this isn't mine; it's Ian's phoenix. I was just given a ride by his phoenix, since it's already curfew, and getting caught would mean losing points."

Hermione answered confidently. At this point, she was ready to go all out. Since she hadn't managed to sneak back to her dorm and had instead been seen by so many people, she might as well tell them everything and let those sarcastic girls be jealous and angry.

"Bang..." Sure enough, as soon as Hermione finished speaking, several heavy thuds were heard in the common room. She knew without guessing which people made them.

"Well, I think I'll inform Professor McGonagall about this tomorrow. Don't get me wrong, although I'm friends with Mr. Titus, I'm first and foremost a Gryffindor prefect," Percy said apologetically to Hermione.

Hermione wasn't surprised. Just as the other person said, it was their duty. Anyone who saw someone able to instantly enter their house's common room would report the situation to the Dean.

Hermione nodded understandingly and said calmly, "Of course, I think when Ian chose to have the phoenix send me back, he had already decided not to hide it."

"That would be perfect. Do you need me to conjure up a perch for the phoenix? An owl perch wouldn't be big enough for it," Percy asked Hermione, also curiously examining the magnificent phoenix before him.

"Thank you, but I think it's unnecessary. He's going to pick up Ian at the edge of the Forbidden Forest; after all, he doesn't want to get caught after curfew."

Hermione politely declined Percy's offer, then turned to look at Phoenix, who nodded slightly before vanishing from the spot.

Hermione had no idea that her words would be far more damaging than being sent back to the common room by Ian's phoenix. One thing after another fell to the ground, and some of the girls who couldn't hold back began to sneer.

"Weasley Prefect, I think Hermione is very sleepy. I'll take her back to her dorm first."

Compared to other superficial friendships, roommate Parvati genuinely befriended Hermione. This Indian girl, without saying a word, grabbed Hermione and headed towards the girls' dormitory door.

Parvati, while pulling Hermione along, whispered to her, "Don't say anything, just come back to the dorm with me."

After the two returned safely to their dormitory, Parvati said with a sigh of relief, "Are you crazy? Why did you have to provoke them? Do you know how many people you just offended?"
