Chapter 46 The Dark Phoenix and Sauron
Section 1
Because of what happened on Quidditch Stadium that day, Hermione was always angry at Sauron. Every time she mentioned Sauron, Hermione's face became gloomy. This made Harry feel helpless when he was sandwiched among the few people. First, because of Crook Hill, Ron and Hermione were angry at each other, but now Sauron had a very unhappy relationship with Hermione again.
Therefore, in order to avoid embarrassment, Harry did not often go to Soren during the Christmas holiday. This just gave Soren a lot of time to search Black's whereabouts. In Soren's view, in order to achieve his goal, he must control his whereabouts in order to ensure that things develop on the route he sets.
Soren almost completely searched the Forbidden Forest and went deep into the mountains in the distance. Now he was sure that Black was not hiding in the forest, which made Soren a little confused. Although Hogwarts was very big, there were not many places that could allow Black to hide for a long time, and Forbidden Forest was the best choice. The long-term search had no results, which made Soren a little annoyed. If it weren't for Dumbledore, Soren had even considered using some extreme means, but in the end he did not take action.
Lupin has not shown up for this period of time. It was not until a few days before New Year's Day that Soren saw him in the corridor. He looked pale and looked weak. Soren guessed that it was probably because Snape deliberately made some changes when placing the potion, which enhanced some side effects of the potion.
Fobertell came back and looked a little sluggish, which surprised Sauron, but in the letter of the hibiscus it brought back, Soren got the answer - the Black Phoenix, who was seduced with chocolate, has been with Gabriel, and has been playing the role of a doll dutifully. After Fobertell came back, he kept lingering in the forbidden forest, and as a result, many animals in the forest suffered. The reason is very simple, and the Black Phoenix prefers fresh meat.
Hager was worried about this for a time, and a large number of animals died constantly, including two Nightshades and a small unicorn. He eventually reported the matter to Dumbledore, but the principal was not surprised. In fact, Dumbledore had already learned from Fox when Forbertell arrived.
"Perhaps, it's not a good thing to be overly indulged in your pet." Dumbledore said this when he met Sauron in the corridor, "Is it going to be a big trouble for Hager."
Soren shrugged helplessly. As Dumbledore said, he was very indulgent to Forbertell. In the years before Soren came to Hogwarts, the Black Phoenix was his only partner. Soren's feelings for Forbertell were far more than just for a pet. However, Soren still warned Forbertell, but the effect was unknown. The animals in the forest were still arrested and killed, but fortunately no large animals such as unicorns were killed again.
Shortly after New Year's Day, the students returned to school one after another, and the school gradually became lively and no longer as deserted as before. The students were shocked to learn that Harry had a rocket, and the Gryffindors were very excited, especially their Quidditch team captain Oliver Wood, who was so excited that he had a rocket himself. In contrast, the Slytherin players couldn't be happy. They knew what the fire crossbow meant. Such a broom could increase the level of a Quidditch player a lot, especially if the person who got it was an excellent ball seeker, which was simply an enemy's nightmare.
The new semester has begun, and the school has started classes. It is the last thing that everyone wants to do in the cold January morning, even Sauron is no exception; however, Hagrid has a bunch of fires, filled with fire monsters, which makes everyone enjoy it. The students took an unusually good class, collecting dead branches and leaves to keep the fire in place. The lizards that love flames are burning and the self-heating blocks are jumping around.
Hermione was still angry with Sauron. When she saw Sauron, she just snorted coldly, and then turned around. Harry could only smile bitterly at Sauron. However, Sauron didn't care. He approached the burning fire, not caring about the burning heat waves at all. The leaping flames touched the corners of Sauron's clothes from time to time, but did not cause any damage, but automatically dissipated.
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed towards the fire, quickly picked up a salamander, circled it around, and landed on Sauron's shoulder, which was Fobertol.
The sudden scene made the students stunned, and Hager quickly reacted and ran towards Soren nervously. After seeing what was on Soren's shoulder, Hager's face suddenly changed.
"Don't worry." Sauron said calmly, gently stroking the smooth feathers of the Dark Phoenix, "It's my pet."
On Sauron's shoulder, Forbertol stared at Hagrid with a shiny black eyes and looked at Hagrid with surprise. He raised his head and swallowed the salamander in his mouth in a few strokes. Sauron smiled helplessly and showed an apology to Hagrid.
The students who came to their senses began to whisper, to be precise, the Gryffindors were whispering. Although the Slytherins were surprised, they didn't say anything...
"I didn't expect that Sauron actually had a dark phoenix as a pet." Ron said in surprise, "It's so surprising."
"Is there anything strange?" Harry didn't understand. "Although the phoenix is rare, Dumbledore also has a phoenix. Last year, two phoenixes appeared together in the secret room and helped defeat the Snakemon."
Ron widened his eyes, "Harry, do you know what the Dark Phoenix means?"
"What does it mean?" Harry was a little nervous.
"The Phoenix only surrenders to the strong, and the owners of the Black Phoenix are all powerful black wizards." Ron whispered, as if that was a very terrible thing.
Harry looked at Hermione in disbelief, and Hermione frowned and nodded hesitantly.
"The phoenix is a mysterious creature, and the black phoenix is even more so. The wizards believe that unlike ordinary phoenixes, the black phoenix was born with their masters and died together." Hermione said with a biting her mouth, "The black phoenix has only appeared a few times in history, and each time their master is an extremely powerful black wizard. Some people even believe that the black phoenix comes from hell and is the pet of the gods who control darkness and death. The black phoenix symbolizes darkness and killing, and also symbolizes supreme power and powerful power."
Harry was stunned. Hermione's words shocked him. After a while, "That won't be all true."
"That's just a legend, Harry." Ron mumbled, "Don't scare yourself."
Hermione nodded, and although she didn't like Sauron's darkness, she still comforted Harry, "He was right, that's just a legend, well, just like the so-called unknown, it's just rumors, not necessarily true."
Ron and Hermione's persuasion still played a certain role. At least a few days later, Harry no longer cared about this matter. The same was true for other students, who left this matter behind after the curiosity and excitement of the first few days.
Harry now focuses more on learning how to resist dementors. Lupin promised him to take the time to teach him the spell to resist dementors after class - the patron curse. Out of a little self-esteem and some inexplicable stubbornness, Harry did not tell Sauron about this, although he knew that as long as he asked, Sauron would definitely help him.
However, the matter was not hidden for long. It may have been due to the deep mutual understanding that naturally existed between the twins. Sauron soon discovered that Harry was hiding something from him.
"That, I just want to learn how to fight the Dementors." Harry said a little embarrassedly, "I don't want to fall off the broom in the next Quidditch match. It just so happens that Professor Lupin is willing to teach me that spell."
Sauron raised his eyebrows and looked at Harry without saying a word. After a long time, "Since that's the case, then study hard. If there are any difficulties, remember to come to me and I will help."
Sauron simply agreed, which was beyond Harry's expectations. Just as Sauron was familiar with Harry, Harry could also keenly capture Sauron's psychology. He knew very well that Sauron was very wary of Professor Lupin, although he did not know the reason.
"Is the patron saint spell?" After Harry left, Sauron smiled self-deprecatingly. He knew very well that he could easily use the patron saint spell, but he could never summon the patron saint.

Section 2
In the darkness, in the remote corners, unknown conversations proceeded silently.
"Strength, power, glory, everything you expect, I can let you have-"
"Really...really..."
"I see the desire in your heart. Don't you envy your friends, they attract attention; why do they enjoy everything, but you have nothing, and can only compromise under the protection of others. All this will change, believe me, I belong to you, and you will get everything, like those big men-"
"I...why should I believe you..."
"Are you timid? Look at you, timid, humble and helpless, living in fear, don't you want to have the power, that kind of power that is high above, get rid of this dark life, be respected, and never have to live in the shadow of others-"
"I...I..."
"Come on—Come on—I will give you strength, just like him, you will be respected and control the fate of others, and you will no longer have to live like a poor person. Come on—Believe me—Leave everything to me—Everything is simple, as long as you have me, all desires will become reality—"
Desire always makes people sink, eat the beautiful and dangerous fruit, bury all reason, and when the soul falls into an endless abyss, only the twisted humanity and lost heart are left in the darkness.
