Living peacefully at Hogwarts

Chapter 261 Rejection
"Basilisk", a snake-like magical creature with an emerald green body, is essentially different from a poisonous snake.

For a long time, people have only some rare records of the basilisk: it is said that it came from a magic egg laid by a seven-year-old rooster when Sirius was in the sky, and was hatched by a toad.

Its sight is the most dangerous weapon of attack. Any creature that meets its gaze directly will be killed immediately, and any creature that meets it indirectly will be petrified.

As long as food is available, basilisks can usually live a long time.

The last time a "basilisk" was clearly recorded was the "Fordshire incident" in 1983-it took a full sixteen good hands from the Ministry of Magic to kill the big snake.

Old Man Newt stared tremblingly at the little snake that spat out letters, feeling that his three views were about to collapse.

It can't be wrong, he can't read it wrong.

This is the basilisk, true to form!

"Where did you get that?"

Whether it is a basilisk or a scarab, they are all dangerous creatures clearly stipulated by the Ministry of Magic's "Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures".

Ordinary people let alone raising them, even looking at them is life-threatening.

But Klein's two "pets" are unreasonably peaceful.Not only docile, but also lost some dangerous characteristics.

Newt was very surprised, feeling that all his previous research had been wasted.

"Mr. Newt, you graduated from Hogwarts, right?"

Letting the little snake wrap around his finger, Klein smiled and didn't answer directly.

"This... counts."

After hearing this, Mr. Newt was a little embarrassed, and nodded vaguely.

"Then you must know that Hogwarts has a legendary "chamber of secrets".

This little guy is what I found in the secret room. "

"Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets" is very famous, and Newt is certainly no stranger to it.

He looked at Klein in surprise, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets actually exists?"

"Of course, now the Chamber of Secrets has become a place for after-school activities for students.

As a member of Slytherin, I must sincerely thank Mr. Salazar Slytherin for his generosity~"

Touching the little snake's slippery head, Klein's tone was very sincere.

"Wait, this. This, this, this thing is"

Hagrid had been listening to the conversation between the two of them for a long time before he realized the seriousness of the matter belatedly.

He yelled and immediately attracted a lot of attention.

The little wizards looked at him puzzled, he blushed, sat down resentfully, and deliberately lowered his voice.

"You guys are talking about that "basilisk", right?"

"Use magic to restrain and seal the petrification ability, and then use transformation spells to change the size. Without talent and size advantages, this little guy is just an ordinary snake, not dangerous at all."

Klein wasn't afraid to expose anything in front of Newt and Hagrid.

These two people are extremely obsessed with magical animals. They can tell with their toes. They must have raised some incredible things in the zoo or the forbidden forest. They are all the same way~
"It's not dangerous, you are."

Hagrid muttered, stupidly.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Newt laughed.

Indeed, the person who can carry the basilisk on his body with the transformation technique is a danger in itself.

But if it's the kid
The old man narrowed his eyes.

Most wizards have eccentric tempers, and some small hobbies are not unacceptable.

What happened to the winner of the Order of Merlin, First Class, who raised a basilisk?
He also secretly raised Thunderbird and Winged Demon.

Just as Klein thought, Mr. Newt and Hagrid had no other ideas about illegal possession of dangerous creatures.

They just stared at the basilisk and the scarab with envy.

In a lifetime, how many times do you have the opportunity to raise such an exciting thing?

The kid is really lucky.

"Hehe, speaking of it, Gellert and I have had some bad ties. I didn't expect that decades later, I would have such a good relationship with the Grindelwald family."

After a long time, Mr. Newt looked away reluctantly.

Staring at Klein, he showed emotion.

Fate is really elusive.

"Maybe it's fate."

Klein doesn't know much about the affairs of the previous generation.

But his unlucky uncle had nothing to do with him. He wanted to make friends with Mr. Newt in front of him.

"It's fate, it must be fate."

Grandpa Newt smiled, showing his well-maintained white teeth.

After laughing, he fell into silence, as if thinking about something.

Klein and Hagrid were puzzled.

Suddenly, what happened?
"Klein, are you free this summer?"

Mr. Newt thought for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he asked.

"This summer, I'm going to the Quidditch World Cup."

Although he didn't know the other party's intentions, Klein still told the truth honestly.

"Ah, that's it."

Showing a regretful look, old man Newt smiled wryly.

"Originally, seeing that you have unique insights into magical creatures, I wanted to invite you to participate in the compilation of my new book."

"What?"

At the end of the sentence, Klein hadn't spoken yet, but Hagrid got excited first.

If you ask him what book he likes most, it must be "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", and there is no other answer.

This book is like a bible for Fantastic Beasts lovers!

Now that he heard that he was honored to participate in the compilation of Master Scamander's new book, he wished he could become Klein immediately and explode with happiness in place.

"I'm so sorry."

To be honest, Klein was also moved.

Not for fame, his current fame is enough to gain a foothold in the magic world.

But this opportunity is really rare.

However, he must participate in the Quidditch World Cup. Although it is a bit regrettable, there is no way.

There are always unsatisfactory things in life.

He can only decline.

"Hey, don't say that, I just had a whim, and the new book is not sure yet.

You don't have time this summer vacation, but next year and the year after next, I can't say for sure. "

Mr. Newt has a good life, and the manuscript fee of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is enough for him and his wife to enjoy their old age. He wants to publish a new book, but it is just seeing Klein's unique treatment of basilisks and scarabs. inspiration.

He thinks he can live another 34 years, and there will always be a suitable opportunity.

"If you are still willing to invite me, Mr. Newt, I will definitely do my best."

Such a fun thing as expanding the Fantastic Beasts Book, how could he be missing.

Klein smiled and held up the butterbeer.

"Salute to those magical creatures that have been discovered, and to all researchers of magical creatures."

"A tribute to the undiscovered and to all fantastic creature lovers."

Grandpa Newt also picked up his wine glass, and it touched Klein's wooden glass.
