A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 386: Newt’s life experience

Chapter 386 Newt's life experience

Felix was about to introduce, when a black shadow ran out of the tent, crawled along Newt's feet and onto his shoulder, pointing at Felix with one hand on his hip.

"Chirp! Chirp!" Sniffing Varun exclaimed excitedly.

Even Harry and the others could tell that this Niffler was complaining.

"Oh, Valen," Newt said reassuringly, "It's good to learn more, you should really read my chapter on 'Sniff', and if you can read, I can I write to you every year..."

Warren looked at Newt in disbelief.

Newt looked at it, "Are you still drinking your tonic? I brought one..."

"Hey!"

Xixi let out a mournful cry, threw himself from his shoulder into Felix's arms, and hid his head, making everyone laugh.

"Okay, gentlemen and ladies, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Newt Scamander, the most famous expert in the protection of magical animals in the world." Felix held the sniffing , while smiling and said: "Mr. Scamander rushed over this morning, and Headmaster Dumbledore successfully persuaded him to leave a precious memory with Hogwarts forever... If someone writes this paragraph in the future School history, today must be worthy of a special book."

Newt looked at Felix with some discomfort, the expression on his face the same as he remembered.

The light of worship of knowledge flickered in Hermione's eyes, and she couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Newt Scamander, we wrote to you, me, Harry and Ron," she pointed to the side The two of them, "About Hagrid's Buckbeak! It's still in the Forbidden Forest, living with its family!"

Newt looked at Hermione, then at the slightly shorter Harry and Ron, as well as Cedric, Collins, and Roger Davis standing beside them all staring at him intently, he found that He has become the focus of sight.

He said softly: "Miss Granger? Oh... I just did what I think is right... and I will be happy for it."

They sat around a simple wooden square table in the camp, and the wood grain on the surface of the table could be clearly seen. The memory belonging to Newt whispered: "Sorry, excuse me." Then disappeared.

Newt himself blinked, looking wistfully at the place where the memory faded. When he turned around, he found that everyone was looking at him in a little surprise. He cleared his throat, "Well, let's start officially... Dumbledore told me that we only need to leave a memory and leave the matter to him That's good... But, I insist on meeting with you before leaving, I think it is very necessary."

"I have traveled all over the five continents. I have visited the lairs of wild animals, the caves of underground animals, and the nests of birds. I have observed the strange habits of magical animals in more than 100 countries, experienced their abilities, and won Their trust, and occasionally I drive them away with a travel water bottle.”

"Brigade, travel kettle...?" Roger Davis laughed and stroked his hair, "Did you meet a group of migrating goblins?"

Others are a little bit like laughing too.

But Newt answered Davis very seriously, "No, it's a group of big-headed monsters."

"What's that?" Harry asked.

"Hmm"

Felix hooked his fingers, and a strange creature appeared on the ground, about a foot tall, with a hairy body, but a big gray head.

"That's what it looks like." Newt said happily: "Did you see that, compared to their bodies, their heads are surprisingly big, and they just need to lie on the ground. Mistaking them for a big bright and round rock, many traveling wizards didn't notice, leaned on them to rest, pillowed on them, and found themselves more tired and drowsy when they woke up...or entered A state of hysterical desperation."

"This kind of creature likes to chase people's shadows. If you encounter them in the wild, you can make some noise to scare them. Of course, a stun spell will also work, or you can simply kick it away..."

Of the six warriors, only Cedric took the protection of magical creatures in the sixth grade, which stems from the influence of his father, Mr. Amos Diggory, who is now working in the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic. He had seen pictures of big-headed monsters in class, but he still felt novelty when he heard Newt's introduction. They found that this somewhat inarticulate old man always eloquently talked about magical animals, and inadvertently mentioned many interesting details,

Harry asked about Thunderbird.

"It was a large flying bird magical animal that could sense danger and create storms while flying." Newt said nostalgicly: "Almost seventy years ago, in 1926 to be precise, I Rescuing a Thunderbird from a trafficker in Egypt, I'll call him Frank, something happened...I can't say, NDA signed...but I met my wife through this incident... "

A small smile appeared on his lips.

"Thunderbirds are a bit like enlarged vultures, with splendid plumage, varying in color, but generally with two long tail feathers. They are distant relatives of the phoenix. Frank's feathers are gold and white, and in Glittering in the sun, like flowing clouds."

Harry asked: "But I heard that, uh, thunderbird feathers can be used to make wands. Are there any characteristics of this kind of wand? And horned water snakes?"

Byles had told him that his wand core was a thunderbird feather, and Victor Graves' core was a cut off horn from a horned water snake.

Newt thought for a while and said, "Thunderbird is very sensitive to supernatural dangers. It is said that the wand made of Thunderbird's feathers is not only powerful, but also can be the first to cast spells in a duel..." Harry and the others looked deeply. Looking at each other, Newt continued: "But I think this description is a bit exaggerated. My wife Tina's wand is made of thunderbird feathers. I am no stranger to this. She often complains to me that her wand Difficult to control."

"As for the horned water snake, I don't know much about its wand," Newt said matter-of-factly, "I only know that if we have enough tacit understanding with the master, the wand can give an early warning when it is in danger, which is similar to that of the horned water snake." The habits of water snakes are similar to..."

Felix interjected: "I just happen to know a little about the material of the wand. One thing you need to know is that although the wand chooses the wizard, the wizard will also affect the wand if it is with you for a long time. Even if it is the same material and The wand with the core has different effects in the hands of different wizards, so you should pay more attention to people."

A few people nodded.

In the next hour, they chatted and enjoyed a leisurely evening, as if they really came to the Romanian Fire Dragon Reserve under the leadership of Professor Haipu, and happened to meet a knowledgeable elder.

"...the first time I met a fire dragon was in a secret Ministry of Magic project, in 1914, when I was just coming of age...just a lowly employee of the Ministry of Magic...but no one else in the Ministry The Ukrainian iron belly had no choice but to find me. Later they had to abandon the plan, because the investigators of the Ministry of Magic found that these dragons only responded to me..."

Harry and the others stared blankly at Newt, he explained

"I was born with the ability to communicate and relate to different creatures, and I was very good at dealing with them... Then, in 1918, August Worm, publisher of Obscure Books, commissioned me to To write an authoritative handbook on fantastic animals. I gladly accepted the offer, but felt so inadequate that I spent my holidays traveling the world, accumulating material, and embarking on a year-long trip in 1925 to record all kinds of magical creatures. The habitat of animals..."

The young wizards present, including Felix, listened silently. They could hear with their own ears an outstanding, even great wizard, telling about his youthful experience, and felt from his words those things that could not be realized. The feeling of deep thought on the pen is quite fascinating.

"It was a wonderful time, carefree, always looking forward to tomorrow. I walked through the dark African forests, watching the precious sight of rune snakes emerging from their eggshells; wading through the bright Egypt Go to the desert to pursue the local legend about the Sphinx; wander to the uninhabited Green Lake in Ireland, and cover the horse-shaped water monster with broad-leaved cattail grass; cross the winding European mountains, and witness the mountain monster trying to tame the horned camel. Funny show..."

“It wasn’t until 1927 that I finished the first edition of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which soon became a bestseller.”

"It's still a Hogwarts textbook!" Roger Davis said.

"My mom used it as a storybook to lull me to sleep...but she didn't realize that it had the opposite effect," Cedric said, to a good-natured snigger from those around him.

"Kids." Newt was about to end today's conversation.

“At first, I just wanted to let more people realize the characteristics of the magical animals that live in the same land as us, and improve their lives by the way. People at that time still had prejudice against these animals, and for centuries because of” The question of what is an animal and what is a human is endlessly arguing... It is only during my constant travel that I think more deeply about the relationship between animals and humans. If there is anything I am eager to tell you from my experience, it is It is only communication and understanding that will bridge the gap.”

Newt stood up and straightened his blue coat.

"Mr. Scamander, are you really determined not to stay for a day or two?" Felix said reluctantly.

"I'm a little worried about Tina...she's home alone ~IndoMTL.com~ and trying to take care of amazing animals in the basement, which is not an easy thing to do," Newt said. The knowledge of magical animals remains, and he will replace me and tell you everything about fire dragons."

"I wish you success in passing the test in advance." He put on his hat and said to the six warriors.

Harry and the others responded in a mess, and then Hermione asked: "Mr. Scamander, when you first knew that you were about to face a fire dragon, what was your mood? Was there any fear?"

"Fear?"

"Just worried, too excited to sleep," said Hermione.

"My opinion may not be suitable for you, but in my opinion, worrying means suffering one more time. And whether it was me at the time or you now, you are facing the fire dragon in a relatively safe environment Yes, so we can feel a little more at ease... I hope it can help you, Miss Granger." Newt replied seriously.

When he was about to leave, he saw his memory hidden in the mist, with a group of magical animals behind him. The past was vivid in his memory, his eyes were moist, and then he let out a sigh of relief, and left classroom 7 with everyone.
