Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 285: Xiu Xiu is claustrophobic (brothers, do your best)

In the chaos, Bourne suddenly felt something stepping on his shoe.

He looked down and saw Xiu Xiu Teddy, the one with spots like cows, looking at him curiously with its shining little eyes.

However, Teddy didn't seem to be affected by the panic around him. He looked at Bourne, as if curiously asking: Why don't you, a little wizard, go to school in the big castle, and instead came to arrest me with Newt? ?

No matter what, he couldn't leave this little guy alone for the time being.

"Professor!" Bourne called Professor Scamander softly. He felt that only the real "owner" (daddy, scrapper, or two-legged buddy, etc.) was qualified to deal with this little guy.

However, he obviously underestimated the intelligence of this Niffler. Even if he is not like his "glib" little Khan, this Teddy has the intelligence common to every Niffler.

Realizing that it had been "betrayed," it stomped on Bourne's leather shoe, turned around, and ran away without forgetting to make a face.

Sniffing Teddy's small figure shuttled among the crowd, like a ghost wandering in the secret room of Hogwarts, silently and extremely quickly. And the way it dodges those panicked tourists and drops its feet indiscriminately is like a Bludger on a Quidditch pitch.

In a blink of an eye, Teddy came to the side of the man in a black evening gown. A glimmer of pride flashed in his cunning little eyes, just like Professor Snape when he saw Harry Potter commit a crime in class. That kind of imperceptible snickering expression that often appears when someone makes a small mistake.

Teddy quickly jumped into the man's tuxedo pocket, and when he sat down safely in the pocket, he stretched out his little paw and gave Bourne and Scamander the middle finger, with an expression that seemed to say: "How can you two-footed sniffers catch me?"

Professor Scamander and Bourne looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and helplessness.

All we can say is that this Teddy is indeed a Niffler - not only extremely smart, but also naughty and provocative, which makes people both love and hate him.

The man, seemingly unaware of the uninvited guest in his pocket, still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and disappeared into the chaotic crowd with elegant steps.

"We have to keep up with them," said Newt Scamander, who hurriedly followed them. He did not forget to remind Bourne: "Never cast a flying spell on Teddy. In fact, except for Ford, It's best not to attempt the Flying Charm on any magical animal other than Lob caterpillars and Billywigs."

However, when they ran to the entrance of the museum, they found that a group of British police had blocked the exit, headed by several police detectives wearing mutated clothes. They were busy maintaining order to prevent people from panicking and causing a stampede at the entrance of the museum.

"Please stay calm, there is no fire here, it's just a small misunderstanding." A policeman shouted loudly with a loudspeaker.

"It's a very good invention. If Mr. Weasley were here, he would definitely be very interested in this Muggle object that seems to have been casted by the 'Loud Sound Charm'."

In fact, in addition to Arthur Weasley, Newt Scamander himself was also interested in the loudspeaker.

Because he found that this "Muggle invention" could effectively block the "cunning" sniffer - Teddy seemed to be frightened, so he kept hiding it in the man's pocket - compared to the way he used to block it. The sniffing escape spell, this "Muggle invention" is obviously less harmful to it.

People gradually calmed down, but still looked back at the museum uneasily. Soon, Byrne, Professor Scamander and a group of visitors were all led by the police to an empty room in the museum and were questioned one by one.

This is actually another idle exhibition hall. There are many such vacant rooms in the British Museum. When the museum was first built, the builders were apparently very confident in the splendor of the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets," believing that the British people would eventually fill this place with things they plundered from all over the world.

But what happened later...

Many people also know that in the operation to deal with the ownership of the Suez Canal, because the United States, the "father and son", stepped on the face and rubbed it once, the boss's "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" ushered in one after another. Small countries face slap challenges again and again.

Although the results of slaps in the face are not always successful, it has become an established fact that the British Museum’s collections have gradually decreased. In the current British Museum, those parts that are not open to the public, apart from real treasures that cannot be revealed, are actually mostly vacant exhibition halls.

Now, Bourne and the others were in an empty room the same size as the Great Hall of Hogwarts, accepting questioning from the Scotland Yard agents.

Because the incident happened suddenly, all the visitors seemed a little confused and nervous. The police began asking them one by one for their names, addresses and what they had seen and heard in the museum.

Byrne noticed that the man in a black evening gown and round glasses was also in the room. He seemed to be deliberately keeping a low profile, saying nothing while waiting in line, pretending to be nothing.

"Professor, I remember you mentioned that Nifflers generally suffer from 'claustrophobia'. Teddy got into that person's pocket and never came out. Is there anything weird in this?" Bourne whispered to Scar. Professor Mander said.

Because he raised a mixed-blood Niffler, the little Khan who could only speak eloquently, Bourne knew a lot about the secret habits of this magical animal, the Niffler. Many of them may not even be known to ordinary magical animal experts, because no one has specifically studied them.

A claustrophobic environment can make many Nifflers nervous and can severely dampen their self-confidence. Because forcing "unbehaved" cubs into the storage bag on the belly is a common punishment method for the mother Niffler. So sometimes, young sniffers will learn this behavior when they are playing and playing, stuffing "unsociable" companions into the storage bags on their stomachs. Over time, this even formed a kind of bullying unique to Xiu Xiu.

No one likes to be bullied, not even the sensitive Sniff. Therefore, Teddy took the initiative to get into the man's pocket, and his recent behavior of staying there for more than ten minutes was obviously abnormal.

Professor Scamander frowned and quickly observed the man. He decided to wait for the police to finish asking, then quickly bring Teddy over and talk to that person, asking him who he was and why he was in the museum (Newt Scamander's "good old guy" attribute) .

At this moment, a Scotland Yard police detective walked up to them and began to question Bourne and Professor Scamander.

"Can I have your names and addresses?" the detective asked.

"His name is Burne Slughorn, and my name is Newt Scamander. Our address is No. 13 Charing Street. This is my business card."
