Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 48: Hatch the Winged Demon

"Yes, professor, I'm sure it's this one, but without those bloodlines." Sean said with certainty.

Newt nodded in surprise. He was very interested in the egg Shawn described.

"Mr. Wallop, can you tell me where you saw that egg?"

"Forbidden Forest, I saw a furry thing running past holding that egg." Sean said without changing his expression.

"Forbidden Forest... furry things..."

Newt rested his chin on the desk, not even noticing that the Bowtruckle had jumped from Sean's body to his cuff. He thought for a while, and just before the Bowtruckle was about to unbutton his cuff, Newt stood up straight.

He smiled at Sean: "Wallop... Oh, Mr. Wallep, thank you for telling me this news. I think it may be a mutated Winged Demon Egg. The guy holding it is not sure. This makes me a little excited. Maybe the Winged Winged Demon that has never mutated has a new individual form. I have to look for it."

Sorry, Professor, you may be disappointed... Sean glanced at the Bowtruckle dangling from the button, and asked curiously: "Sir, I have only seen very few descriptions of the Winged Demon in your book. Is this magical animal rare?"

"Yes," Newt nodded, and as soon as he talked about magical animals, he began to talk endlessly, "This kind of cute little thing is very rare. I have only seen a few of them in the past few years. There is no way, they are too good at hiding themselves. Even if you are lucky enough to find the crouching demon, the ridiculously high magic resistance of this creature makes it difficult for you to catch them."

"So that's how it is," Sean nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "How will that furry creature treat that unborn little guy, uh, I mean, will it eat the egg or what will it choose?"

"Good question. If the 'egg thief' is a friendly creature, such as an invisible beast, it will protect the egg and wait until it is born safely. If it is a greedy guy, it may swallow it directly and then have to spit it out, or choke to death."

Newt spread his hands: "The eggs of the Winged Demon are very hard, much harder than dragon eggs anyway."

"Then if there is an egg of a curled-winged demon, how will it hatch? I mean, if the stolen egg has no parents, how will the curled-winged demon inside come out?"

Newt showed a smile: "Then you are asking the right person."

He took the picture book and quickly flipped through it a few times, then pointed to a picture to show Sean.

On the picture, an egg is suspended in mid-air, and below it is a group of flames that are constantly burning.

"The Winged Demon will grow in the egg for a long time, and when it is about to hatch, the egg will shake by itself. And unlike other creatures, the flame is not for heating up, but for peeling off the outer shell to expose the cocoon inside. This time depends on the strength of the flame, but it must be a magical flame. I hatched one before, oh my God, I forgot how many flame spells I have recited, anyway, it was baked for almost three full days."

A happy smile appeared on Newt's old face. Obviously, he liked that memory very much.

"Cool..." Sean exclaimed.

Then, he showed a curious expression: "Professor Scamander, I heard that the Winged Demon feeds on human brains, is this true?"

Newt's expression became more serious: "Yes, yes, to be precise, it likes all brains, but compared to other creatures, human brains are more to its liking, maybe because the tastes of human brains are more complex and changeable? I don't know."

"Then that curled-winged demon you raised back then?"

Newt smiled slightly: "As long as you establish a friendship with it, you can satisfy it with sheep's brains, and it will take a long time for the Winged Demon to be hungry after a full meal."

After communicating with Newt for a while, Sean bid farewell contentedly.

This expert on magical animals is extremely knowledgeable, and he is also extremely talkative about magical animals, which taught Sean a lot.

"Professor, thank you very much. I learned a lot today. The only regret is that I haven't been able to take your course. It's too uncomfortable." Sean sighed sincerely. He really wanted to go to Newt's protection of magical beasts class.

Newt was not good at interpersonal communication, but he could easily tell that the little wizard opposite had a strong interest in magical animals. Most importantly, Pickett (the Bowtruckle) told him that the little wizard made him feel so good that he even wanted to play with him for two days.

Sean looked at Newt and showed a slightly shy smile. The old man seemed to have maintained his way of life and attitude towards people and magical animals.

Newt said: "If you want, you can come to me on Sunday, maybe I can show you something interesting."

Sean immediately smiled: "Of course ~Professor IndoMTL.com~, I am very willing!"

After agreeing on a time, Sean stroked his chest politely, and bid farewell to Newt contentedly.

When the office door was closed, Newt held down Pickett, who was still tugging on his cufflinks.

"What an interesting little guy." He said with a smile.

……

Sean was a little excited when he returned to the dormitory. He finally found a way to hatch the Winged Demon, but he didn't rush out that night.

According to Professor Scamander, the process of hatching the Winged Demon may take a long time. Sean is quite confident in his magic flame, but it may also last for a long time, and he needs to find a rest day.

Finally, a week passed, and the students ushered in the weekend again. On Saturday morning, Sean got up early.

He swallowed the grilled sausage brought back last night for breakfast, bypassed Peeves who was playing pranks, and finally came to the eighth floor.

Standing in front of the stone wall again, Sean closed his eyes.

"I need an open and solid place to practice the flame spell."

After repeating this three times, the bare wooden door of the Room of Requirement appeared before his eyes.

Sean pushed the door open and went in, and saw an extremely empty room with nothing that could be burned, only a few dummies placed in the innermost part.

Xiao En nodded in satisfaction, and then took out the egg of the Winged Demon.

The egg was still shaking slightly rhythmically, and Sean put his hand on it, feeling the vague connection.

"It's time to meet, little guy."

Sean rubbed his hands and stretched out his wand: "Blessed by the magic flame! (ProtegoDiabolica)"

The blue flame rose up, and Xiao En carefully moved the winged demon's egg closer.
