Allen was making the final preparations in the training room, while Luna and Helena were preparing to bring the female phoenix from the Time Hall to the confinement room. This was the most important step for Allen to conquer the phoenix.
Luna's footsteps broke the silence in the basement of the tower. Helena followed Luna through the spiral staircase. The mother and daughter walked into the Time Hall. The female ghost suddenly said to Luna with an expressionless face, "Mother, aren't Hermione and the others enough? Why did you get a bird for Father?"
"It's just a bird." Luna waved her hand casually. "Your father only knows how to dance. This will be very interesting …"
"Damn bird." Helena was still a little unhappy when she heard Luna's explanation.
Luna entered the room in the tower that was similar to the Time Hall of the Ministry of Magic. In that area of time, a vigorous flame was burning. Luna squeezed herself into the area of time that was covered by a glass cover.
During the incident at the Ministry of Magic last year, the head of the Death Eaters who accidentally bumped into the glass cover kept shrinking back to its infant state and then returning to its original state. The power of time did not affect her at all.
Luna reached out her hand and stroked the burning flame that was constantly expanding and shrinking. A transparent bubble appeared in the air and wrapped the flame in it. Luna waved her white hand gently, and the transparent bubble wrapped the flame and floated into the air.
Luna grabbed the bubble and quickly teleported to the confinement room. She stretched out her delicate white and slender finger and pointed at the bubble. The huge bubble burst with a pop. The flame turned into a fiery red phoenix and fell into the confinement circle in the room.
There were two other confinement circles in the room. The one on the front left held the female ghost. When the female ghost saw Luna, she immediately opened her mouth and screamed. However, due to the isolation of the Earmuffled Listening Spell cast by the Confinement Formation, no sound could be heard from inside.
Seeing that her attack didn't have any effect on Luna, the female ghost went crazy. She stretched out her long claws and rushed towards Luna. However, she only made a crackling sound on the light screen. After that, she was bounced back to the ground. She opened her mouth even wider. Obviously, she was roaring even louder.
"Hibiscus Chinensis is contacting Serena Warbeck. Soon." Luna tilted her head and looked at her floating daughter. "Isn't it better to let me or Allen help you control it?"
The female ghost looked at her mother. "Mother, I still want to try it myself."
"There are many methods in the wizard book that are not useful at all. Just like the content in the potion textbook, it's not as useful as Snape's personal discovery when he taught his students …" Hermione complained angrily because the information on how to subdue the female ghost that she helped Helena to find was not useful. "Serena Warbeck, that witch singer, I don't know what tricks she used, but she actually has a female ghost harmony group …"
In fact, after Helena tried to imitate the female ghost's deadly scream, Allen and the rest had planned to absorb the female ghost. However, seeing how Lunn, Daisy, and the rest interacted with the magical creatures, Helena suddenly had the idea of keeping a pet. After a long period of imitating the female ghost, Helena had more or less gotten used to the existence of the female ghost. The female ghost was not aggressive towards Helena. Usually, the undead hated the living and had no hostility towards the undead. When the female ghost was being trained, Maggie had to let the living creatures that were going to be fed to the crouching bats live a little longer outside the circle.
However, this was the first request that Helena made, so the female ghost was allowed to stay. The troublesome thing was, Helena did not want Allen and Luna to help her control the ghost. Ever since she came into contact with a physical body, she wanted to try everything out herself.
Meanwhile, the crouching bat that they had obtained from Aunt Josephine of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysterious Affairs was locked up in the same formation.
Compared to the thin layer that they had previously seen, the crouching bat had expanded from a shroud to a thick down quilt. Even if a living person entered the room, the crouching bat, which was lying on the ground lazily because it did not have to worry about food and clothing, could not move any further.
When it saw Luna and Hermione entering the room, its head tilted up a little. However, when it realized that it was not Maggie, who often delivered food to it, it fell back to the ground and remained motionless. Beside it were some unfinished lamb legs.
"Maggie looks like you are feeding Crook Hill," Luna said to Hermione, who was observing the phoenix flame.
"My Crook Hill never has any leftovers!" Hermione immediately turned around and tried to emphasize the difference between her and Maggie. She squinted her eyes and studied the crouching bat. "Speaking of which, Serena Warbeck's father was a small official in the Muggle Communications Office, and her mother was a frustrated actress. When the latter was attacked by a crouching bat disguised as a stage curtain, the two got married not long after."
Helena focused her gaze on Hermione. "I know the black girl. I heard her tell her friends that her talent for music had been apparent since she was very young. After she was disappointed to learn that there was no drama school in the magical world, her mother reluctantly sent her to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However, her mother continued to write letters to the school, asking them to set up a drama club, choir, and dance class to showcase her daughter's countless talents. It's all thanks to her that my mother and I have a choir now."
Seeing that Helena took the initiative to talk to her, Hermione was a little happy. She resisted the urge to tell Helena that Serena Warbeck, who was born on August 18, 1917, was a little girl. Instead, she excitedly added, "Speaking of which, Mrs. Molly Weasley is a big fan of hers. She would never miss the time to listen to her songs on the Wizardry Radio Broadcast. The price of tickets to her concerts would often increase exponentially on the black market. Ginny said that this is why her mother has never been to her concerts live … Actually, I think a few tickets are not a burden to the Weasley family now."
Luna said absentmindedly, "During the summer vacation after my father was in fourth grade, he went to her concerts twice on the same weekend."
Hermione's face twitched when she heard the Goodelof family's crazy behavior. She reluctantly responded, "Then your father must like her songs very much."
At this time, the Phoenix, who had been imprisoned in the flame state for an unknown period of time, had completely returned to its bird form. It was stunned for a moment. After regaining its senses, it shook its feathers and looked around vigilantly. In terms of time, only a short time had passed since it was captured.
When it saw Luna, the Phoenix's black and bright pearl-like eyes widened. It looked at her suspiciously. Suddenly, the feathers on the top of its head stood up, and its whole body bristled. It pounced on Luna, its sharp beak biting at Luna's wrist. Although her appearance had changed, the Phoenix could still recognize that she was the witch who had captured it.
However, the activated Confinement Magic Circle made it unable to attack Luna. When it hit the edge of the circle, it was directly bounced back and fell heavily to the ground.
The Phoenix got up and stopped attacking. It stared at Luna and realized that it could not face the witch. It decided to escape first. As it turned itself back into a flame, the Phoenix disappeared in a flash. However, just like Allen, who was silently trapped in the circle and turned into a magic Animagus and wanted to escape, the Phoenix teleported to the center of the pentagonal circle.
Helena floated closer to the Confinement Magic Circle where the Phoenix was imprisoned. She looked at the Phoenix, who was in a state of alert and no longer moving, and commented, "It's not as beautiful as Dad and Fawkes."
Compared with Fawkes and Allen, who had long golden tail feathers, it looked a little plain. This female phoenix's feathers were mostly reddish-brown. Although her neck and tail were also covered with some bright feathers, the length of her tail feathers was much shorter than the male phoenix's. Moreover, her head was also much smaller than the male phoenix's.
"Helena, according to Muggle biologist Charles Robert Darwin's theory of evolution, the main purpose of females is to reproduce and take care of their young. Therefore, the stronger the concealment, the higher the survival rate, and the easier it is to preserve their genes. Therefore, female birds reproduce according to the natural law of natural selection. This is probably because they can be reborn from fire. Otherwise, other female birds should be more low-profile. Male birds, on the other hand, are the exact opposite. Males are brightly colored and have low concealment. Under normal circumstances, they are more likely to be eaten. But this is the reason why males are brightly colored. Males are brightly colored and have low concealment. Under normal circumstances, they are more likely to be eaten, but the reason why males are brightly colored is to tell females that they are brightly colored and stand out. Under normal circumstances, they are more likely to be eaten by predators, but I survived. This shows how strong and capable I am."
"Allen turned into a Phoenix as if he was wearing a woman's dress." Luna touched her wrist where the Phoenix pecked and turned to Hermione. "What should we do next?"
