I'm a priest at Hogwarts

"Well, I'm sorry, Professor, I lied to you. Please forgive me for not telling the truth." Orlando said sincerely. He knew that it was not a good thing to play tricks in front of a magic master like Dumbledore and be found out, so he apologized decisively.

Harry and Ron were dumbfounded. What was going on? How could Orlando be involved in this situation?

"Okay, I accept your apology. As for the Phoenix essence and blood, to be honest, I have it, but I can't give it to you now." This time Dumbledore ignored Zuo Yan and admitted directly, "You know everything A copy of Phoenix essence and blood is so precious, it can be said to be the foundation for my family to settle down and survive, so I can't just give it to you like this."

"I understand, Professor, the wizarding world values ​​exchange of equal value, and only what you give is rewarded. What do you need me to do?" Orlando is not afraid that he will make conditions, but is afraid that he will hide them.

"Haha, equal exchange, I'm afraid you can't afford the exchange now!" Dumbledore smiled. Although he admired Orlando's persistent spirit, this was not the reason for him to let go. He thought for a moment, and then He looked at Harry and seemed to have made a decision, "I don't know what you want the phoenix blood for. You have your own ideas and I have mine. Let me think about it this way and I will come to you when I think about it. "

Before leaving, Dumbledore did not punish Harry and Ron, but warned them not to use the Talisman Technique at will in the school, let alone use it against other students.

"Orlando, are you making a deal with Dumbledore?" Ron couldn't help but ask after returning to the common room.

"It's a deal, you have to keep this matter a secret for me."

"Why do you want Phoenix blood?" Hermione couldn't help but ask after hearing what happened.

"I can't talk about this yet. I'll tell you when I'm sure."

"What? It's mysterious." Ron was a little dissatisfied, but they didn't ask any more questions. After all, if Orlando didn't want to say it, no one could force him.

"You hurt Malfoy and the others so badly this time. Slytherin and the other pure-bloods will definitely not let it go. You two should be careful these days to avoid being plotted against." Seeing their complacent looks, Orlando reminded them.

"Don't worry, Ron and I have already thought about it. Instead of running around recently, we will practice the talisman seals and stock up on more goods. Haha, if someone attacks us, we will definitely give him a big surprise." With Bullido's encouragement, Harry completely let himself go.

"How could you, Harry, just after deducting points this time, and the confinement has not even started yet, you want to cause trouble again?" Hermione said with a glare.

"Who said we were going to cause trouble? We were just self-defense." Ron said plausibly. "Dumbledore also said that you can't attack students proactively, but if you do it passively, then it's not our fault." He smiled mischievously. of.

"Okay, leave them alone. They want to die and no one can stop them." Orlando pulled Hermione. He had more important things to do tonight, "We have something to do, so we won't accompany you. Let's go first." That's it." After saying that, he pulled Hermione out of the lounge.

"What's the matter? You're so anxious. I still have homework to do."

"Don't worry, I'll tell you more in detail later."

In the Room of Requirement, Hermione looked surprised after hearing Orlando's explanation.

"You mean that my fire-type physique makes me suitable to be a wizard of Dumbledore's bloodline?"

"It can be understood this way, but there are differences. Dumbledore is a bloodline inheritance, and he should also use the phoenix blood. This is an ancient contract magic that I don't know much about, and I guess he won't spread it."

"Since it is a family inheritance and it is so precious, why do you ask Dumbledore for it? Aren't you trying to force others to do something difficult? Dumbledore has a good temper. If it were someone else, he might have thrown you out."

"Haha, isn't this just for you? Besides, Dumbledore has no direct bloodline. His lineage is considered to have been cut off. Instead of hiding something as good as Phoenix essence and blood in the library and gathering dust, it is better to pass it on to his students. , and it can be carried forward.”

"This is fallacy and bandit logic. Fortunately, Dumbledore didn't argue with you and gave you a promise that was not a promise. Speaking of which, why are you so keen on making me a blood wizard?" Hermione was actually thinking in her heart. She also wants to become powerful so that she can close the gap with Orlando and not be unable to help with many things.

"As you know, I am following the path of Taoist cultivation. After so many years of exploration and the teacher's advice, I finally found the path. If I continue to practice step by step, I will have no problem cultivating the golden elixir without any accidents. , My life would be colorless without your company in my 800-year long life. Please forgive my selfishness, Hermione, I don’t want to face loneliness alone.”

Orlando looked at Hermione holding her hands tightly, and the two were leaning together tightly. Hermione was moved to tears by his words that were not words of love but words of love, and she was speechless and choked.

"I will grow old with you." Hermione said after a long time.

"We don't want to grow old, we want to live forever." Orlando said with a smile.

"Immortal? Are they the immortal couple you often talk about?"

"Yes, we are the couple of gods and gods together."

"Well, what should I do?"

"Let me lay the foundation for you first. Let's take it step by step. As for the Phoenix essence and blood, I will find a way."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

In the days that followed, Hermione began to change her muscles and cleanse her marrow according to Orlando's training plan, strengthening her body in preparation for inheriting the Phoenix bloodline.

They already had a heavy workload, and now they were even more pressed for time. Many times, Harry and Ron could only see them during meals.

"What's wrong with them? They are so busy day by day. I don't know, they thought they were about to graduate." Ron said to Harry while eating lunch slowly.

"I don't know if they have graduated or not. I still know that there will be final exams next week." Being targeted by Slytherin several times recently made Harry eager to improve his strength. Now, in addition to the rest of the class, He used it all to practice the art of talisman and seal script, which made Ron, who had always been playful and lazy, very uncomfortable.

"You can't help but mention this. I lose my appetite when I think about it."

Exam week began, and there was an uncharacteristic silence in the castle.The third graders came out of Transfiguration class at lunch on Monday, all disheveled and sluggish to walk, comparing their grades and bemoaning the difficulty of the tasks they were given, which included turning a teapot into a turtle.

Orlando was very calm about this. He had mastered the difficulty of this magic in the first grade, so it was not difficult at all.His calmness affected Hermione. She, who was still struggling with the turtle's white breath, quickly calmed down and began to prepare for the next exam.

Everyone ate lunch in a hurry and went back upstairs to take the Charms exam. Hermione's guess was right. Professor Flitwick did test them on the Happy Charm. But when it was Orlando's turn, Professor Flitwick interrupted. I asked him and told him to pass without taking the test.

"Why can you get high scores without taking a test? This is so unfair." Ron, who had a mess in the test, said angrily.

"If you had Orlando's level of magic and could catch most of the campus with one spell, Professor Flitwick would also exempt you from the exam, believe me." Harry complained.
