Chapter 14 Predation in Progress

Hogwarts Headmaster's Office.

The phoenix is ​​a gentle creature whose song can give courage to the pure of heart.

Therefore, those who see the phoenix are undoubtedly pure children favored by fate, at least that is what Elena thinks at the moment, and the flames on the phoenix that have long been extinguished have only fueled the courage that is ready to move in the girl's heart.

"Hello Fox, I'm Elena Kaslana."

Gulu~

The little silver-haired Veela swallowed nervously and bowed to the phoenix standing on the bird stand observing her with some restraint, indicating that she had no ill intentions - although she was not sure that this was aimed at the hippogriff. Are the etiquette of winged beasts equally valid for phoenixes?

Phoenix Fox's bright big eyes blinked, looking at Elena with confusion, but did not respond for a long time.

Just when Elena felt that her face was about to freeze with laughter, Phoenix Fox suddenly bent her beautiful neck covered with red feathers and bowed politely.

"Huh...thank you Hagrid and Mr. Newcastle. They have made outstanding contributions in helping people understand magical creatures."

Elena breathed a sigh of relief and walked over slowly, carefully reaching out and stroking the golden-red feathers of the phoenix. She could clearly feel the warm and fleshy strong wings under its soft feathers.

Phoenix let out a sweet chirp and closed his eyes lazily, as if he liked Elena's gentle touch.

In fact, wizards have always speculated whether there is a certain mysterious connection between Phoenix and Veela, because when a pure Veela is angered, it can transform into a bird-like creature and throw fireballs to attack.

"It's so warm..."

Seeing the golden-red bird relax and close its eyes, Elena quietly put her other hand on the other side of Phoenix's body, and rubbed her little face happily against the smooth feathers.

Unlike the Scottish round-faced fat chicken, which is a bit smelly, the Phoenix feather smells like the sunshine on the sheets that have been exposed to the sun in summer.

Elena hugged Fox's back with both hands, sniffed through her small nose, and whispered subconsciously, "Such big wings must be delicious, and you don't even need to bake them..."

Phoenix Fox, who was dozing, suddenly opened his eyes, bent his head and looked at the little silver-haired girl lying on its back, a trace of human doubt flashed in his big eyes.

The next moment, the cute Elena licked her lips, closed her eyes, and suddenly opened her mouth and bit its wings with a happy look on her face - ow~

? !

? !

Suddenly, a loud bird song sounded in the quiet principal's office.

Before Elena could bite him, the phoenix, feeling threatened, spread its wings without hesitation and pushed the silver-haired little loli lying on its back away. The silent and restrained magic flowed rapidly.

Snapped.

Immediately afterwards, there was a soft sound in the air, and the phoenix originally standing on the birdstand suddenly disappeared and appeared on the large wooden table in the center of the room. The red feathers on its neck stood up one after another, and it looked at the bitten one with caution. Empty Elena.

"Huh? Dumbledore specifically promised me that I can eat everything in this room - let's just call it a form of... apology that they forcibly kidnapped me from home to Hogwarts, right?"

With her hands empty, Elena smacked her lips with regret, her delicate little face shrouded in a layer of dangerous brilliance as bright as moonlight. The girl turned around, looked at Phoenix Fox, spread her hands, and explained seriously , "Besides, you are a phoenix, so I was just curious to take a bite and taste it. There is no harm in it."

Hearing Elena's words, Fox let out an angry cry again, spread out his fiery red wings, and stared at the dangerous creature in front of him as if facing an enemy - only then did she notice that this was not a human cub... …This is a Veela disguised as a human.

As the conflict between one person and one bird broke out, the portraits of the previous principals of Hogwarts who had been resting with their eyes closed woke up one after another, paying attention to the confrontation that took place in the principal's office with great interest.

"This is the first time in so many years that I have seen a student dare to try to bite a phoenix." A fat wizard with a red nose crossed his arms and looked at Elena with empty hands curiously.

"Which house are you from? Slytherin or Gryffindor. I think only people from these two houses can be so bold. Raise your wand, little girl, and fight like a wizard."

"Sorry, neither. Principal Dexter Fusco. We won't know which house I belong to until after the sorting in a month. Therefore, I don't have my own wand for the time being."

Elena raised her head and glanced at the name frame under the portrait, shook her head and replied respectfully.

She still had some impression of this grumpy "portrait principal" who often appeared in movies and novels. Although she was not sure how much wisdom the wizard who existed as a portrait still retained, there was always no harm in respecting him.

"Maybe she doesn't understand what a phoenix is? Muggle-born wizards always make such jokes out of ignorance."

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter from the side. A slightly fat curly-haired wizard glanced at Elena and said with an arrogant expression.

——Phineas Nigellus Black, the most unpopular headmaster in the history of Hogwarts, it is easy to tell that Elena comes from the non-magical world by the clothes she wears.

"In fact, I probably know as much as you do."

Elena raised her eyebrows. She was not angry because of what a portrait said, not to mention that she had already heard about this stubborn old wizard's bad temper. The silver-haired little Loli shrugged her shoulders indifferently.

"By the way, I am not a Muggle. The blood of your [eternally pure] Black family is not necessarily superior to mine."

"A more pure bloodline than the oldest and noble Black family? Impossible! I have never heard of a family with the surname Kaslana among the twenty-eight sacred families in the wizarding world."

Phoenix said with disdain, although he was slightly surprised that Elena accurately said the motto on their Black family coat of arms, but this did not mean that he would be so easily intimidated by a little girl.

"Oh... who told you that I am British? You shouldn't be so narrow-minded as to think that only England has pure-blood wizard families in the whole world, right? Dear Principal Phineas from 12 Grimmauld Place, London."

The silver-haired little loli responded absently, her eyes slowly scanning the principal's office, trying to see if she could find something handy that could help her capture the phoenix in front of her. As time went by, her patience was rapidly disappearing, and an urge to attack Phoenix kept surging in her heart.

Anyway, Phineas, who was trapped in the portrait, couldn't verify which family she was from, so he could save a lot of trouble by just saying something back.

"Could it be that this is a pure-blood wizard family from abroad that has visited the Black family? Silver-haired... Alina... seems to be a common name in Germany."

As expected, after hearing Elena's answer, Phoenix held his chin and began to think seriously.

In his opinion, it was obvious that the person who knew the address of the noble Black family's main residence could not be from a Muggle family.

Ignoring Phoenix anymore, Elena tried to take a small step forward. Fox, the phoenix standing on the wooden table, flapped its wings nervously, and its long golden beak was pointed at Elena threateningly. If you take one step forward, you will peck it immediately without hesitation.

"Wow, so fierce."

The silver-haired little loli stuck out her tongue and took a step back. It seemed that what Mr. Newt Scamander recorded in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was not entirely correct. At least this phoenix and the adjective "gentle" were still the same. Not quite a match.

"Wait, you don't really want to eat the phoenix, do you? Give up, this is impossible, not to mention whether you can successfully capture the phoenix. As an elf of fire, the phoenix is ​​not afraid of any flames and high temperatures. At the same time, it It can also summon flames in times of danger, and then be reborn from the ashes. From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of a case of a phoenix being successfully preyed upon."

The speaker was an old witch with long silver curls hanging down. Her tone was particularly soft, and she sounded like a nun from a London monastery. There was a pleasant coda at the end of each sentence.

Delise Derwent, one of the few female Headmistresses of Hogwarts, served from 1741 to 1768. Before that, from 1722 to 1741, she was a therapist at St. Mungo's Hospital due to her previous work experience. , she has been exposed to and learned a lot of knowledge about high-risk and high-demon magical creatures.

"Dear Principal Delis, in fact, I have already figured out how to cook."

Elena turned around, looked at the silver-haired old witch, and smiled sweetly.

"As long as the ignition method of the Phoenix is ​​not nuclear fusion, then all the oxygen in its environment needs to be replaced with inert gases, and then we can find a way to heat the local gas and directly steam it at high temperature. In the end, these are just molecules. It’s just the result of high-speed movement.”

"The only problem now is... how to catch this delicious phoenix - well, no, now it has a new name [Rare Scottish Long-tailed Turkey]. As for the Fire Elf... I am the one The most beautiful flame elf..."

Elena muttered softly, looked around, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Yes!"

I saw the little silver-haired loli grab a shabby wizard hat from the shelf behind a huge claw-shaped table corner, and carefully looked at the dark hole inside. If it was pointed in the right direction, It should be possible to completely fit the phoenix head into it.

At this moment, the worn-out wizard's hat suddenly twisted in Elena's hand, and a crack opened on the edge of the hat's brim, and a panicked voice came from inside.

"Madam, what do you want to do?! I am a smart, thinking magic hat infused with the thoughts of the Big Four of Hogwarts. Do you know what kind of rude thing you are doing?!"

"Quiet! Of course I know what I'm doing, dear Sorting Hat."

Elena rubbed the big hat in her hands vigorously, held the brim of the hat with both hands, pointed the black hole of the hat at the long golden beak of Phoenix Fox standing on the table, and narrowed her eyes proudly, "In this way, it should be able to Let’s avoid damaging this hat, which is extremely important to Hogwarts. After all, if the sorting hat is broken, it will affect this year’s sorting.”

Elena raised her head, her eyes met Phoenix Fox's guarded eyes, she smiled slightly, her silver hair automatically floated backwards without wind, she opened the Sorting Hat and thrust it forward - human wisdom lies in knowing how to use Tools for hunting!

"Don't worry, the pain will be gone soon."

The Sorting Hat swayed awkwardly from side to side, and the struggle became more intense. Elena let out a violent scream along with her movements.

"Wait a minute!!! Wait a minute!!!"

"You're not using the wise hat as a trap, are you?"

"Stop it! Are you a devil?!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"
