Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 480: Conversation before fleeing
,!
Following the direction of the dragon's roar, Sean and Hermione walked carefully through the dense forest.
"So far—" Hermione gasped and wiped the sweat from her brow.
Shawn handed over a handkerchief: "There is no way, the fire dragons gathered together will cause the fire dragons to roar at each other, and will stimulate their desire to attack. Maintaining this state for a long time is not good for the fire dragons themselves-the McFasty family will not interfere with the normal birth, death, death, and territorial struggle among fire dragons, but if it is a man-made situation, they will definitely intervene."
Hermione took the handkerchief and gently wiped her forehead, then said in a low voice, "Then the McFasty family likes dragons? It sounds similar to Professor Scamander."
Shawn spread his hands: "No, they are more like guarding the honor and creed of their own family. They only care about their black dragons in the Hebrides, and other fire dragons are not within their concern. In fact, even the black dragons in the Hebrides are similar. They don't allow these black dragons to go to other habitats."
"Maintain the dignity and nature of the fire dragon within the scope of your own control?" Hermione concluded.
"It can be said like this - many wizarding families have this habit of maintaining the codes and creeds handed down from their ancestors, but only the rules themselves are maintained." Xiao En said.
If the McFasty family really loves the Black Dragon of the Hebrides, the other party may follow the Black Dragon's own opinion - but this is unlikely.
The other party locked the black dragon alone far away from the dragon group. When Sean and Hermione found it, the moon was already hanging high above their heads.
Covering the invisibility cloak, the two quietly approached the open space.
In the huge specially-made cage, two black dragons from the Hebrides Islands were half lying on the ground, and one of them looked around from time to time.
"It looks like it's waiting for you..." whispered Hermione.
"Well, let me see..."
Shawn looked over, and there were eight people around the cage. They were wearing black convenience wizard robes and a thick dragonskin cloak, and they were whispering something there at this moment.
Sean was very impressed with this attire. The first-year McFasty family dressed like this when they came to pick up the little black dragon, and there was the family crest of the McFasty family on the hem of the robe - surrounded by fire dragons, and there was a letter m formed by a dragon's tail in the center.
Following the memory in his mind, Xiao En looked at this group of people, and regretfully found that the leader he had seen before did not seem to be there. It seemed that he was not leading the team this time.
That uncle looks quite talkative, but it's a pity...
Sean stood still and thought about it. Hermione watched from the side. After a while, he couldn't help asking: "Do you know these McFasty people? Can you 'reach a consensus'?"
"I don't know each other, it's not good to show up rashly, and if we don't agree, and the black dragon disappears later, they will still suspect me." Xiao En said.
"A deal?" Hermione asked suspiciously.
"Didn't I meet two people from the McFasty family when I was in the first grade," Sean explained, "I wanted to see if I could establish a relationship, and then, emm——"
Hermione was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at him in disbelief: "Aren't you ready?"
"Miss Granger who knows me, that's right, I was going to buy it directly with Galleons." Sean spread his hands.
Hermione slapped her head: "That's a fire dragon! Are you going to buy two fire dragons?!"
"Is there anything wrong with this? The sale of live magical animals has always existed. Owls, toads, lizards, spiders—and the raw materials used for various magic items can be bought and sold, but some are illegal and some are legal. Is it strange to change the trading object to a fire dragon?"
"But - will they sell it?" Hermione asked hesitantly.
"That's the problem. According to the information I got from Stephanie, the McFasty family will sell the corpses of dragons that died of old age or accidents, such as dragon heartstrings, but they don't seem to sell live fire dragons. Mr. Ollivander wanted to buy a small Hebrides black dragon to try the effect of live dragon heartstrings as a stick core, but was rejected by the other party."
"It sounds like..." Hermione frowned.
Sean smiled: "It's a bit cruel."
The girl nodded silently.
"The fact has always been like this. Among the three rod core materials used by Mr. Ollivander, the dragon heartstring is taken from the corpse. Although magical animals have various magical powers, to wizards, they are still animals in essence. They can be domesticated, controlled, and of course slaughtered as a source of raw materials." Sean said calmly.
Hermione pursed her lips, frowning together.
Shawn did not comfort her, but continued: "The materials you use to make potions come from various animals and plants, and some materials even have to be taken out of living bodies to preserve the properties of the medicine. The dragon leather gloves and cloak you use are also from corpses, and the books you like to read very much. Many of the book covers are made of animal skins, and the runes are made of animal blood. These are all massacred by Chiluoluo—why didn't you have such compassion at that time?"
"I, I..." Hermione wanted to explain, but found that she didn't know what to say - Sean was right.
The girl lowered her head and said nothing more.
Shawn glanced at her: "I know what you think, these two black dragons from the Hebrides Islands will become my partners, and in your eyes, their status has also risen, just like Dave and Nadja——Through this, I think of other fire dragons, and your compassion suddenly arouses."
Hermione clenched her fist and let it go, she said in frustration and self-reproach: "I am a double standard, I don't know now...whether my so-called pity is sympathy for these animals, or to satisfy my own moral needs..."
Sean smiled: "Why can't we have both?"
Hermione looked up in bewilderment.
"The two are not in conflict, and being compassionate is not a bad thing—Hermione, I just want to tell you one thing, don't use your own point of view to add to other things, whether it's magical animals or wizards."
"Do I like Fantastic Beasts?" Sean asked.
Hermione nodded silently.
"Yes, I like it very much, but I am still using materials derived from various magical animals, and I will not rush to the McFasty family and yell that I want to save the fire dragons--the level of wizards is higher than that of magical animals. This is an indisputable fact, so I choose to treat my animal friends well. I still support the normal trading of magical animals. If I encounter such behaviors as abuse and private trafficking, I will definitely stop them."
"But..." Hermione's lips twitched twice.
Sean sighed: "You want to talk about those magical animals with advanced intelligence, right?"
"Hmm..."
"My choice is to get along with those highly intelligent animals that can communicate normally with humans, but I don't care about other people's ideas-if you change the angle, will the animals stop killing each other? Can you save every one? This is part of nature, and wizards are also a member of the natural cycle."
Hermione was silent for a long time this time, and when she looked up, there were still tears in her eyes, but she nodded to Sean.
"I see what you mean..."
Sean smiled: "Of course, you are the smart Miss Granger."
It took Hermione a moment to recover, and then she said, "You're hinting at my house-elf Liberation Front too, aren't you?"
Sean admitted it frankly: "Yes, many people have come to me and asked me to persuade you."
Hermione touched her pocket, and there was a badge of s.p.e.w inside. She was planning to launch a house elf liberation campaign this year.
Shawn took the badge and said softly: "I understand your original intention, but like I said, this is a part of natural selection—"
"And, I shouldn't impose my opinion on it, should I?" Hermione whispered.
"Yes, house elves are highly intelligent magical animals, and the right to choose should be given to them - to be honest, I have already put away those socks and pillowcases you are going to throw around the castle."
Hermione pursed her lips: "You have already thought about it?"
"Ah, that's true, because I'm friends with many house-elves, and I know that your behavior will cause trouble for them. Last time I accidentally dropped a scarf when I went to the kitchen. Polis and the others were frightened, and no one wanted to pick up that scarf." Sean laughed.
Looking at his smiling face, Hermione froze for a moment.
It's a friend...
I always seem to ignore the key points.
Looking at the pensive Hermione, Sean put his arms around her shoulders: "Go and make more friends with the house elves in the future, ask their opinions, and then think about how to develop your association."
Hermione nodded vigorously.
Sean showed a mouthful of white teeth: "We have successfully reached an agreement, well, there is such a reward for doing bad things."
"Isn't this what you planned?" Hermione asked suspiciously after returning to normal.
"Of course not—" Sean would never say that he really had such an idea.
Hermione has always been compassionate and has a sense of justice. He did have this in mind when he brought Hermione, but he didn't expect to be able to get around it.
As long as Hermione can think about it, otherwise it's easy to get stuck in it.
However, there are other matters to be resolved right now.
Sean pricked up his ears and listened for a while, then said: "You hide first, I'll go and eavesdrop."
"Well, be careful."
Shawn cast a disillusionment spell on himself under the invisibility cloak, and then slipped quietly to the McFasty family.
"...When today's banquet is over, we will take the black dragon back." A person said.
"Well, anyway, the process has been discussed with Professor Dumbledore—" another person continued, "However, I didn't expect that the kid named Wallep could communicate with the black dragons."
A man who looked like the leader looked back at the two black dragons: "The two of them are much more excited than before when they came back, presumably because of that child."
"It's ironic to say that we have managed the black dragon for generations, but there has never been such a person in the family who can communicate with the fire dragon."
The leader's face is serious: "We can follow the ancestor's instruction to manage the black dragon. Other things are out of our consideration, and communicating with the black dragon is meaningless to our mission."
A woman who looked much younger murmured: "I always feel that these two fire dragons are happier with that Wallop..."
"Put away your sentimentality," the leader glanced at her, "The fire dragon's emotions are not in our concern, there is only one thing we have to do, let the fire dragon keep its nature, and let the McFasty family continue to be glorious."
The woman stopped talking, but looked sullen.
Another young man scratched his head: "If that Wallop wants these two fire dragons, for example, he taught us how to communicate with fire dragons, or bought them with money - the family is not well-off recently..."
"Impossible, McFasty will never sell any Hebrides black dragon." The leader said firmly.
Of course, he quietly added in his heart: "The dead don't count."
Shaun, who was hidden around, listened for a while, and understood McFasty's attitude. Just like what he said, it was not for the love of the Hebrides Black Dragon, nor for the acquisition of a large amount of property. It was just for the glory of the family.
They "have to" continue to manage and raise this group of dragons "to maintain the dignity of the dragon family".
Then I don't have any psychological burden... Sean thought silently.
It is unrealistic to spend money to solve it, but he has a record.
Bypassing several guards, Sean sneaked to the cage of the black dragon in the Hebrides.
The black dragon's nose twitched. It smelled Xiao En and sensed the invisible existence nearby, so it immediately became excited.
"Shh - don't make too much noise." Sean used [Beast Whisperer] to communicate with the black dragon.
The black dragon snorted with sparks to express his understanding.
"Listen, buddy, let me ask again seriously, you want to come with me and live with me, and you will get along with other magical animals, such as the Selma Lake monster, the basilisk, the cat leopard, etc... You have to give up your territory and ethnic groups in the Hebrides, and you have to give up the sky where you can fly freely-of course my place is quite big, but I will be comfortable when I go back... Then you have to bring your wife..."
"Have you really thought about it, buddy?"
Although Sean with a serious expression was not visible~IndoMTL.com~, the black dragon shook its huge dragon head, looking very serious.
"Okay, since that's the case," Sean laughed, "come with me——"
"Roar——" the black dragon let out a deafening roar.
The McFasty family looked over and turned their heads after finding nothing unusual.
Shaun, who was covered in cold sweat and dizzy from fright, rubbed his eardrums: "I told you, don't make too much noise."
The black dragon snorted in embarrassment.
"In order not to cause trouble, I thought of a way. When the time comes, you all remember to cooperate with me... this... this... I will leave a magic spell... and this..."
Heilong snorted while listening, indicating that he understood.
"Then it's settled...see you later."
The black dragon opened its mouth wide and wanted to yell, but Huo Huo Zi came out and half remembered Xiao En's instructions, and swallowed it back forcefully.
The guards looked at each other suspiciously: "Does the fire dragon still cough?"
