A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 266: Meet Newt
The door of the phone booth flew open, and Felix stepped into the resplendent foyer, all the way to the information desk.
"Hello, where is the living room No. 2?"
A blond middle-aged witch casually looked at the badge on his chest. There were various signs posted on the bulletin board behind her, but these were all blocked by an exaggerated arrest warrant, "Felex Haipu... Oh, Mr. Haipu, Mr. Cedric has an explanation, please come with me—"
"Sorry ma'am, I haven't registered my wand yet."
The witch said enthusiastically, "That's not a necessary step, dear. I heard that you are an expert in Muggle studies? I have a copy of "Simple Spells to Fool Muggles" at home, but I didn't read it very much. Not good or bad...Little Tim is always messing up the house."
She took Felix to the elevator area, glanced at the floor, "We are going to the fourth floor——oh, be careful!" Explained: "This is a note used by the Ministry to deliver messages—"
As soon as they entered the elevator, the paper airplanes circled the ceiling and flew slowly. They were a light purple in color and had the stamp of "Ministry of Magic" stamped on the side of the wings.
"——we used owls to communicate before, you can imagine the air quality here... and the feces problem, the mess on the tables, chairs, after switching to these little things, the cleaning work in the ministry has been reduced by a third One."
"Excuse me, I still don't know your name?" Felix had to interrupt the rhythm of her speech.
"Lae Defina, where did I say, oh, yes—" She began to tell how her five-year-old son drew the logo of the entire Quidditch League team with a sack of flour feat, "He will lead the national team to victory." She said proudly.
"Ms. Difina, I heard that L.C.A Comic Book Publishing House recently released a new set of comic books, which are very popular."
"Well, I didn't pay much attention, what's your name?"
"Call——"
The elevator stopped, and two wizards walked in from the outside, one was a red-faced wizard with a short brown beard, wearing a black wizard robe; the other was an old man with gray hair and beard, he was wearing tweed gray Windbreaker, inside is a brown vest.
The old man tilted his head slightly, "Amos, there is a problem with your process, there is a big problem. And you have been going around in circles. I can see that Tina taught me a lot."
Amos, the wizard in wizard robes, said anxiously: "I know you are very concerned about the living environment of the hippogriff, but this matter has nothing to do with you, does it? You are not even its own." Master."
"I can't ignore it just because it has its own owner. I'm just fighting for its legal rights."
"But you are retired, Mr. Scamander."
"Theoretically, I just don't go out much...but I haven't stopped working, if you knew how much I put in in a day, you wouldn't think so."
"Your "Fantastic Beasts" has been revised to the 52nd edition, why not finish another edition?"
The old man looked at the side face of the other party, "I do have this plan, but—we have already digressed, and once again, I was entrusted by my friends—including three caring little guys— —Inquiry about the Ministry of Magic's work process. I think you hired me as a consultant, not to keep me silent."
"Of course! Many magical creature sanctuaries in the Ministry need to refer to your opinion."
The elevator door opened, and the two walked out——
"Mr. Haipu, we are here too." Difina at the front desk said, Felix bowed, "Thank you, is it on this floor, I can find it myself."
He took a few steps and turned around, "Also, the name of the book is "The Adventures of Mick the Little Wizard", and it is sold in many bookstores."
Felix followed the two wizards and watched them stop at the door of a spacious office. He looked up. It read "Department for the Regulation and Control of Fantastic Creatures".
The wizard wearing a black wizard robe walked into the office, leaving the old man waiting outside, Felix approached, "Mr. Newt Scamander?"
The old man tilted his head, his eyes slid past him, "You are..."
"Felix Hemp, the ancient rune professor at Hogwarts." Felix introduced himself, "We just met in the elevator."
Newt's eyes fell on him, "Yes, yes, that's right...Mr. Hemp, I've heard your name, little Rolf mentioned you."
Felix said: "I was very interested in your research results when I was in school, and I collected some newspaper clippings, but unfortunately I didn't find much content."
"I did publish a few articles in my early years, which were not taken seriously at the time—" Newt said: "That was a long time ago."
“For a while at school, I was obsessed with how to deal with them, of course, making sure not to hurt yourself,” Felix said.
Newt's eyes lit up, "This is the meaning of my research, rescue, nurturing, protection... I also teach other wizards to understand them, not to be afraid-"
"So, Potter and the others finally found you?" Felix said, "I heard a few words in the elevator, I guess you are talking about the Hogwarts hippogriff attacking students case."
"Potter? Harry Potter?"
"Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and of course, the center of the vortex, Rubeus Hagrid and his Buckbeak."
Newt nodded, "That's right, they wrote me a letter telling me that a hippogriff was being treated unfairly and implored me to come forward. To be honest, I left the Ministry of Magic for many years Now, it's not the same here as it was when I left. Sorry - it's very different."
He raised his head in a disappointed gesture, "Tina persuaded me to write with peace of mind, but if I see some things, I can't pretend that I didn't see them——if the horns of the poisonous horned beast start to shine, it must be read." Respond - you know what I mean?"
"We cannot bear the injustice that is happening before our eyes."
"Yeah, you summed it up well—oh, wait a minute, I need to fix some little problems—" Newt quickly reached into his pocket, and took out a silver pocket watch, which suddenly expanded and contracted , looks like it's about to explode.
"Mr. Scamander—" Felix stared ~IndoMTL.com~ and put a humanoid iron armor spell on himself.
"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing—" Newt said in a hurry, the front cover of the silver pocket watch snapped open, and a pink snout in the shape of a duckbill protruded from it. A palm-sized snuffer got out of the pocket watch and nimbly crawled onto Newt.
Subsequently, two more Niuxiu appeared, one of them faced the smooth cover of the pocket watch for the first time, straightened its black and soft down, and the other seemed to have taken a fancy to the silver watch chain.
Felix looked at them curiously, a dark, furry little creature somewhere between a mole and a platypus, with an uncanny love for shiny things.
"Hey! Valen, Thrall, Thorpe, be quiet." Newt whispered, and he nimbly grabbed Niffler, which was standing on his shoulder, struggling to pull out the silver button, and tucked it back. In pocket watch. He also threw the other two snuffers in, and then closed the front cover.
Newt looked around, no one noticed, he put his pocket watch back in his pocket, and winked at Felix: "Theoretically, I can't bring my magical animal friends... But they were born not long ago, so I am really worried."
