Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 465: Newt Scamander
The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! The Maca coming out of the pig’s head bar is still considering whether to go to the Burrow or Lovegood’s. But obviously, he doesn't need to worry about it anymore, because his Owl Marfa sent him a note.
This is a note signed by Minerva McGonagall. The content is very simple-Mr. Newt Scamander has just arrived at Hogwarts and wants to meet him immediately.
Judging from the time when Maca sent the letter, it seems that Mr. Scamander did not come directly to Hogwarts after receiving the letter.
"Okay!" He nodded slightly, "I hope the wording of my letter is really tactful enough..."
Maca doesn't know much about this famous magical biologist Newt Scamander. He only knew that this old gentleman was a complete workaholic and loved magical animals very, very much.
Only in the magic world, many people seem to think that this distinguished old scholar is not so likable.
Because he has been lonely since he was young. He doesn't like to deal with people but loves to take care of his magical animals. As I get older, although it is better than in the past, it still seems that I am not very good at communication.
Apart from his academic ability, he is probably a lonely little old man, right?
Maca thought, stepping on the magic book, and flew away in the direction of Hogwarts Castle. It was not far from the school, and soon he entered the school from the main entrance.
The ones who stayed in Hogwarts this Christmas Eve are more professors. They all seem to be enjoying the aftermath of Christmas Eve dinner in the auditorium. As for the few students who did not go home, most of them went to Hogsmeade Village after the meal.
When Maca pushed open the door of the brightly lit auditorium, everyone inside looked towards him.
He could see that a strange old wizard was dressed in casual clothes, sitting next to Professor McGonagall. There were not many people at the dinner tonight, and eating at a long table would only make people feel empty, so a big round table was set up for dinner.
"You are Mr. Scamander, aren't you?" Maca hurried forward and said apologetically, "I couldn't go to your home to inform you, please be able to understand..."
The old gentleman sitting next to Professor McGonagall is a little thin and doesn't look very tall. The gray hair curled up slightly, it seemed a little messy. It's just that those eyes didn't show turbidity because of age, and they were still full of attachments like young people.
Although he is almost a hundred years old, but looking at his spirited appearance, how can he feel the slightest senility?
And not far from him, an old lady was sitting there. Her expression seemed a little mournful, and a middle-aged man was comforting her softly.
"You are McLean?" When Maca came, he apologized, and Scamander stood up, patted his arm and said, "It's not your fault, the British magical world is now I also know the situation and I can understand."
"Thank you," Maca said regretfully, "It's just that I didn't have time to save your loved ones."
Scamander heard this, but shook his head gently.
"Before coming to Hogwarts, I had already been to the United States. To be honest, the situation was more serious than I thought. The Magic Congress of the United States sent Auror to clean the manor and found many suspicious things. People..." He said, frowning again, "I can see, who are those people..."
"It's the silent one." Maca didn't hide anything about this, because he remembered that Scamander knew a lot about the silent one.
"Yes! Silent..." Scamander repeated the word. "And the markings on their chests, it's amazing... Did Greenward appear again? It's in Deng Not long after Blido died?"
"Greenward? In America?" Professor McGonagall said in surprise.
"It's not clear where the first-generation Dark Lord is now, but those attacks in the United States do have his credit." Maca nodded and said, "However, that should be Not his main action."
"McLean, you know?" Professor McGonagall asked hurriedly.
"Well," Maca nodded again, "I have met him so many times, but every time he didn't meet face to face--he was very careful. And...it seems that there is another purpose... …"
"This is really bad news." Mr. Scamander frowned, showing a pensive look.
"Father, don't talk about that! You should think about Aunt Queenie's mood!" At this moment, the middle-aged man who was with the old lady suddenly raised his head and shouted.
"Oh, I'm sorry--" The old Mr. Scamander suddenly understood, and looked at the old lady a little sadly, "Queeny, you..."
"It's okay, I'm okay." The wrinkles on the old lady's face tightened, "Ah...my poor little Zoe..."
When the old lady started talking, Maca remembered something.
"Madam?" He hesitated, "Oh no, I mean, old lady...Have we met once in Jackson Trade Plaza?"
"You are..." The old lady thought for a while. It seemed that her memory didn't seem so clear. After a short while she nodded slightly, "Oh, that kid that night?"
Actually, Maca and her met at night, and the old man could see his appearance clearly.
"I'm really sorry, old lady..." Maca leaned slightly towards her, "As for Zoe, I have used a replay spell on the wand that took her life, and I have also interacted with Zoe. There was a conversation with Yi’s will. Although it was only Zoe who was simulated by the curse, she was really brave and did not flinch when facing her own death..."
"...I wanted to convey some last words for her, but she didn't speak for her own affairs. At the last moment, she chose to try to reveal some truth to me instead of for herself Linger forever."
Maca paused and repeated: "She is a brave witch."
"Oh...Little Zoe..." The old lady closed her eyes as she listened, as if she had seen that scene in her mind, and a little tear oozes from the wrinkles in the corner of her eyes.
"She...what did she tell you the truth?" Scamander said sadly, "I think we must also know, because it is the child's last words, isn't it?"
But Maca shook his head regretfully.
"She couldn't say it all," Maca sighed. "Just as the truth was about to blurt out, Greenward's will took over the body of the dark wizard and replayed the magical image of the curse. Dispelled. And after that, he exploded and shattered the body of the dark wizard with his wand."
"...This is terrible."
Mag and the other professors present were a little frightened, after all, it was Greenward. The series of horror actions that spread across the European magic world were deeply imprinted in the hearts of the old wizards.
As modern wizards fear Voldemort, which old wizard of their generation didn't grow up listening to Greenward's fame?
"No wonder, it turned out to be like this..." Scamander said solemnly, "I know some people from the Magical Congress of the United States. I went there to claim little Zoe before... Alas... I heard someone at the time. Discussing the situation in that manor, it was said that there was a stone room in the basement that was soaked in flesh and blood..."
"Yes!" Maca nodded, "I received a warning from Hogwarts. Otherwise, I might be able to stay there and hand over with the American Auror."
Of course he has to say that, although he would never stay in the manor at the time. Negotiating with the Auror in that situation would definitely take a lot of time, and he would not waste his energy on things that made no sense to him.
"Your judgment is correct. As in the current situation, Hogwarts can't have an accident." Old Mr. Scamander said, and looked around the auditorium again, a little nostalgic for the authenticity, "this school It is of great significance to the entire British magical world... and even to the entire European magical world. Especially after the teacher leaves, the safety here may even be linked to the safety of the magical world."
He was also a student at Hogwarts, and he was a Hufflepuff like Maca. When he was studying at school, Dumbledore was still just a professor of transfiguration at Hogwarts.
It's a coincidence that he and Maca have one thing in common, that is, neither of them successfully graduated from Hogwarts. But for them, old and young, Hogwarts is still their most unforgettable alma mater.
Students like Maca and Mr. Scamander, there are many more at Hogwarts. It can be said that ~IndoMTL.com~ the wizards trained in this school are truly all over Europe.
If one day this school collapses for some reason, the people and things involved in it are unimaginable.
"Child, you have done too much for Hogwarts," Scamander turned his head and stretched out his hand to press on Maca's shoulder. "This time, I'm not only here for Zoe's business. Since young Zoe can also work hard for the future of the magic world, I, Newt Scamander, will naturally not fall behind."
"Father, you are at this age--" the middle-aged man, the son of Mr. Scamander, dissuaded him.
"Then you come?" Scamander looked at him and asked.
"I—"
"You can't." Old Mr. Scamander interrupted without hesitation. "You still have your wife and my underage grandson. What you have to do is take good care of them--but I can. "
He paused, took his spell from his arms, looked at it and said with emotion: "Professor Dumbledore helped me keep this wand. If there was no Professor Dumbledore, I was leaving. At Hogwarts, you can’t keep the wand. Without it, where would I be the present? And where would you be?"
In the tense situation at the time, the European continent still implemented a magic wand permit issuance system. But that is to say, for this measure, the implementation of the British Ministry of Magic is not as strong as the United States Magic Congress.
Of course, without a license in hand, it's for sure to act unchanged.
"...After Mr. McLean describes the situation at the time, you can go and rest! Tomorrow you will take your Aunt Queenie home and find a way to contact your cousin and the couple." Old Mr. Kamand said in a loud voice, "I will stay here, not going anywhere." For mobile phone users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
