Living peacefully at Hogwarts

Chapter 260 Fantastic Beasts Exchange Meeting

[My name is Newt Scamander, I am 97 years old, I live in the villa area of ​​Dorset in the southwest of England, and I am married.

I work at the Fantastic Zoo at home every day, and I have to work overtime every day until 8 o'clock in the evening before entering the house.

Don't smoke, drink only lightly, go to bed at 11 o'clock in the evening, and sleep for 8 hours a day.Before going to bed, be sure to drink a glass of warm milk, go to bed, fall asleep immediately, and sleep until dawn, and never leave fatigue and stress until the next day.The doctors at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries said I was fine.

Originally, such a peaceful life should last until the end of my life, until...
I was in Hogsmeade, and I heard about a child who could throw a Hippogriff on his back]

From the preface to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Part [-]
"I know you, Klein Grindelwald, the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin in history.

Hehe, I have been busy all my life, and I am only a second-class medal. You are amazing. "

The gray-haired old man had an expression of appreciation.

But after a while, there was a narrowness in his eyes again.

"Of course, throwing a hippogriff on its back is a feat as well."

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

I, Klein, born with supernatural power, and Grindelwald's reputation has become like this?

Klein scratched his eyebrows embarrassedly.

"Well, Mr. Newt, I can explain it. People's physiques cannot be generalized."

"Okay, okay, I've heard it all, you are not only proficient in choke locks and back throws, but also a master of sliding shovels, right?"

Newt laughed.

This kid is just too much fun!

"Klein, I'm discussing with Mr. Newt how to become a qualified "Magic Beast Protection" professor.

You are so smart, do you have any advice? "

Klein Grindelwald, the most outstanding student since the founding of Hogwarts, is as talented as the four founders of that year.

Hagrid pulled out a chair and let Klein sit down, his eyes full of expectation.

Meeting that gaze, Klein couldn't help but feel a chill.

"this."

To be honest, Hagrid had a pretty good relationship with him, and usually wrote to him asking him to drink tea or something.

But in all fairness, big men are really not suitable for teaching.

After the "Backfall Incident", Hagrid restrained himself a lot, and no longer showed off his hippogriffs, but he always asked them to raise Gemo caterpillars, who could resist this?
This has also led to the current young wizards dislike the "Fantastic Beasts Protection Class" very much.

Unexpectedly, the big guy is not stupid, so he knows to ask authoritative experts for advice
But looking at old man Newt's expression, it seems that asking for advice is not going well.

"I think that at this stage, you don't have to touch magical animals personally. It would be better to use magic to teach."

As he said that, Klein waved his hand and transformed into a small thunderbird and a small griffin.

Hagrid and Newt were stunned.

It's a good idea to entertain and teach, but their magic level is not that high.

Especially Hagrid, as a black household of magic, he is not even allowed to hold a wand, let alone such illusion magic.

"Hehe, you know we Slytherins have a crystal ball that can release illusion magic, that's what I did.

I can make one for you too if you need it. "

The crystal ball made on a whim is now the treasure of Slytherin House. If Hagrid asks, it is not impossible to sell him a favor.

"That's great, then it's troublesome!"

When Hagrid heard this, he immediately smiled, waved his hand, and ordered many drinks for Klein.

On the contrary, Newt looked at the magical creature that Klein had conjured up and was secretly fascinated, so he couldn't help asking.

"Klein, do you know much about Fantastic Beasts?"

If you don't know it well, the transformed magical animals cannot be so lifelike.

"Of course, I'm very interested in Fantastic Beasts!"

Speaking of this, Klein also became interested.

With Fantastic Beasts at hand, such an opportunity doesn't come often.

After thinking about it, he reached into his inner pocket and took out a round worm.

"Mr. Newt, look what this is."

"Scarab!"

Newt was obviously insightful. When he saw the blue-gold bug, his face changed, and he immediately called out the origin of the scarab.

At the same time, he jumped up from his chair in a flash.

The boy doesn't know how dangerous the scarab is!

Just hold it in your hand.
The old man's cold sweat broke down instantly.

"It's okay, this child is very kissable to me, and it's not dangerous at all."

The scarab in his hand was the most beautiful one in the "City of the Dead". Klein kept it in his pocket all the time, and when he had nothing to do, he took it out to touch it, brushed its shell, and took care of it very carefully.

To others, scarabs are dangerous, but to him, they are just pets.

"."

Newt was speechless.

He had never heard of anyone who could tame a scarab.

But looking at it like this, the kid doesn't seem to be lying.
This is strange.

"What's the matter, is it a bug soon?"

Hagrid was so nervous that he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

He is only interested in dragons, hippogriffs and the like. In his opinion, what's the big deal about a bug?
"This is a scarab, a special insect-like magical creature that lives in Egypt. Although it is often recognized as a dung beetle, they are two completely different species. They are often regarded as messengers of gods by the local people."

Seeing the scarab laying motionless in Klein's palm, Mr. Newt became more courageous, and carefully looked at this beautiful bug.

"I've only seen specimens of this bug in Egyptian museums before, and I didn't expect it."

The love of magical animals soon overwhelmed the fear in his heart.

Newt questioned Klein with his eyes, and after receiving the signal, he reached out and touched the smooth outer shell of the scarab.

"Ah, this feels really strange."

Slippery, like stroking a sapphire, Newt couldn't help laughing.

What a novel experience.

"It's pretty."

Klein was very proud.

Every pet owner loves to show off their little one, and he was no exception.

Bugs are so cute~
"I still don't understand."

If it is a thunderbird, a magical animal with extremely high intelligence like a phoenix, there may still be a possibility of communication.

but.
Scarab?
Newt blinked, puzzled.

"hey-hey."

After the display of Little Baby No. [-], it's the turn of Little Baby No. [-].

Klein didn't speak, and directly took off the hair ring and threw it on the bar.

Under the surprised eyes of Hagrid and Newt, the sterling silver hair ring gradually turned into a little snake wagging its head and tail.

"Great!"

Hagrid was amazed at Klein's transformation magic, which could turn the snake into such a small object.

But Newt said nothing.

He took out his monocle and carefully observed the little snake spewing out letters, his face getting weirder and weirder.

"This is a basilisk?"
