The right way to attack Moriarty

"Have you been wondering why I pay so much attention to you?" Dumbledore asked him.

"Yes." Newt nodded, and he asked, "Because of my brother?"

"No," Dumbledore smiled, blue eyes revealing a kind of nostalgia, he looked at Newt, as if looking at another person through this immature face, "because of my sister."

Newt was stunned, the look in Dumbledore's eyes was too obvious, and the sad expression also betrayed Dumbledore, Newt could roughly guess what happened to Dumbledore's sister, "I'm sorry, sir. "

"No, nothing," Dumbledore looked away from Newt, and he looked out the window, "When Aberforth first told me about you, I didn't believe that there might be similar people in the world. There will be many, but there will not be too many similar boys and girls. I thought he just missed Ariana too much and had hallucinations. Until one day, I went to his dilapidated little bar and saw you The moment I came out from behind the counter at the Hog's Head, I believed it."

"Perfect Hufflepuff, resolute character, and forbearing character," Dumbledore's blue eyes flickered, and his tone was a little choked up. At this moment, the young man couldn't forgive his past mistakes, and he didn't dare to face him. Facing the frustration of the past, the man sighed, "But that's not what you resemble her the most. What resembles Arianna most is that you are trying to suppress your own strength, so as not to cause harm to others."

Newt:? ? ?

"Sorry, sir?" Newt had to interrupt Dumbledore, trying to salvage his image, "I guess I'm not as powerful as you say? Given my failing Transfiguration grade?"

"Oh," Dumbledore looked at him with a smile, as if the frustration just now was an illusion, the young man smiled softly, he drew his tone, showing his usual appearance, he used to treat bad students "It's not on me, I said in class, as long as there are six absenteeisms, the first-year practical grades will be invalid. You didn't come even once." Dumbledore even pretended Spreading his hands, he made an expression of "I can't do anything with you".

"Okay," Newt nodded, "you are the professor, you have the final say."

"Newt, Aberforth hasn't written to me for a long time." Dumbledore cast his gaze out of the window again, "I thought he wouldn't talk to me anymore after that incident."

"I'm sorry, sir." Newt apologized politely and politely, "But as far as I know, the owner of the Pig's Head Bar is doing pretty well, and you don't need to worry about his life."

"Oh," the handsome man laughed, and waved his hand indifferently, "I don't care about that, he has a lot of small skills, of course he can't starve to death," Dumbledore suddenly turned his head, looking at him with blue eyes. Newt, blinking his eyelashes lightly, with a sincere tone, the young professor who hung up Newt's Transfiguration said softly, "Thank you, Newt. You let him write me the first letter."

Newt:? ? ? ?

"Sorry, sir, I don't think it should be my credit for your reconciliation with Aberforth." Newt tried to explain the ins and outs of the whole thing to Dumbledore, "I didn't know you before, and I don't know about your relationship with Aberforth. Of course, you two don't look alike at all, and I have no way of guessing the relationship between you two. So even if I did something unintentionally, let Aberforth It's none of my business for Si to realize his inadequacy, to compromise or apologize to you, and you shouldn't thank me. Aberforth needs this."

Dumbledore laughed again, and his eyes moved from Newt to the depths of the corridor, staring there, as if there were thousands of pasts there.

"Newt, you are really special. I have seen countless wizards and led countless teams. If you are willing to take a look in the trophy room, you may be able to find our Barnabas Finkley Special Contribution Award that year. , and the Cairo International Alchemy Society Pioneering Contribution Award, or something else, I can't remember clearly. I think I know wizards very well, and I have confronted countless wizards, and even for many diametrically opposed Different wizards make various defenses. You may have heard that before I graduated, I was already a representative of the British Young Wizards in the Wizengamot. I almost got into politics , you know, the Wizengamot is an amazing place, I think I have seen a lot of wizards, I have also seen a lot of Muggles, you are the only one who is so humble among all of them." Dumbledore lightly again He smiled lightly, "You are different from most people. However, no matter how you evade this matter, I must thank you."

"The first letter Aberforth wrote to me in the past ten years was to ask me about your current situation. He even asked me which college you were assigned to, whether Galleons were enough to spend, and whether you would consider going to him in the summer vacation. The Hog’s Head Bar continues to work part-time as a bartender, but,” the young male professor blinked and gave a mischievous smile, “I never told you, of course you don’t have the time, your entire school year is spent working for another small Wizards are busy, aren't they?"

Newt was speechless.

He is convinced by this divine logic.

Forget it, he can't afford to provoke, he hides.

"Professor, it's almost curfew," Newt cast a time spell, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll go back first."

"Please feel free," Dumbledore made a gesture of invitation, "Stop studying the matter of the Obscure, you will be swallowed back by the Obscurity just with that meager magical power."

Newt pursed his lips noncommittally, saluted and turned to leave.

After Newt walked away, Dumbledore sighed in place.

"How can you do what he can't do?"

Although Newt's excuse was the curfew, he didn't go back to the dormitory. After saying goodbye to Dumbledore, he swam all the way to the Forbidden Forest at night, and went to see the stars and the moon again.

He doesn't know if the starry sky can point the way, but the starry sky can heal his anxiety.

Whenever Newt was upset, he would spend a while alone under the stars.This method is very effective, and it has been tried and tested. Every time there is a mistake in the research of the last semester, he will come here to sit for a while, and gradually, he has developed a habit.

Maybe he was too impatient.

Newt sat in the Forbidden Forest all night and slipped out along the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest again the next day.

This is the second time he has done this, but he is very skilled and has not encountered any obstacles along the way.

The road back to Artemis Manor was a bit long, and Newt had a Chimera on him, so he didn't dare to Apparate directly, so he had to take the Knight Bus.

On the second day, Nehemiah got wind of it from nowhere and came to ask Jim.

"Do you know what books Mr. Artemis has been looking for recently?"

Jim froze for a moment, still had half a piece of bread in his mouth, spit it out hastily, and wiped the corners of his mouth clean.

"I don't know, I'll ask after dinner."

Nehemiah gave him a "you're the best" look, oh, of course, secretly from the corner of his eye.In any case, back in Knockturn Alley, he had witnessed Jim and Newt's deep kiss.Before a new person is elected, the youngest son of the Moriarty family is the "master's lover (pao) (you)". Of course, his subordinate must be very respectful, and there should be no mistakes in the proper etiquette.

Jim found out early in the morning that Newt didn't come to breakfast today, but Gavin didn't seem to care much, so there should be nothing wrong, Jim thought so, and went to class with the team.

The first class this morning was Transfiguration, a very young professor with very wise blue eyes that shone with insight.

The Transfiguration professor's gaze swept across the classroom, as if looking for someone, then glanced back, and finally landed on Jim, no, to be precise, it landed on the wand in Jim's hand.

"A very beautiful wand," the young professor smiled. "The light of agility and the wisdom of obedience are tailor-made for you."

"Oh," Jim smiled happily, "Thank you for your compliment."

The young professor returned a smile, then motioned for everyone to be quiet, and began the formal class.

When the class was about to end, the young professor took out a timetable that he did not know where he got it, and there was a list of courses for this Transfiguration course. The young professor blinked his blue eyes and showed a kind smile: "Then , let’s get to know each other first.”

……

"Newt Scamander?"

There was silence all around, and the two second-year Hufflepuffs sitting in the back row let out a sigh.

"Newt Scamander?"

……

Dumbledore repeated it three times, and nodded contentedly: "Very well, our little friend didn't come to class again."

Jim Moriarty: ? ? ?

"Why do second-years come to first-year classes?" Jim asked the Slytherins beside him.

"Oh," the Slytherin replied indifferently, "Because I failed in the first grade and need to make up for it. You are asking Newt Scamander, he failed a lot of courses, tsk tsk , luckily it's not Slytherin, otherwise it would be too embarrassing."

Jim Moriarty: Sorry?What did I hear?Newt failed?Still hung up a lot?

In the evening, Jim Moriarty stared at the Hufflepuff dining table, counted the two hundred or so people from the beginning to the end, and counted the number from the end to the beginning again, but finally did not see New York. Where is Te.

After dinner, Jim Moriarty simply ran to the rest area of ​​Hufflepuff.

"Who are you looking for?" asked a kind girl.

"Newt," Jim looked up at her, "Newt Scamander."

"He doesn't seem to be here," the girl pulled back the broken hair at the temples, pursed her lips and said, "I haven't seen him all day today, let me ask for you."

"Okay," Jim nodded, with a very well-behaved look, "Thank you sister."

"You're welcome." The girl smiled sweetly, showing a pair of small canine teeth, very cute.

Jim waited at the door for a while, playing with his wand in a bored way.

After a while, the girl came out again. She squatted down and was level with Jim, "I asked his roommate for you, and his roommate told me that Newt hasn't come back since yesterday. He didn't show up either, why don't you look for it elsewhere? He often stays in various potion rooms and alchemy rooms for a week, somewhere on the second floor or next to the cellar, you can find Look for it, try your luck, maybe you will find it."

"Thank you," Jim rolled his eyes in his heart, but his mouth was very sweet, "It's really troublesome for you."

"It's okay," the girl smiled, and handed a registration form to Jim. "If you find him, please help me give him the Quidditch registration form."

"Okay." Jim gave another cute smile, "I will."

Quidditch entry form?

Go to his Quidditch entry form.

Riding on a broom and colliding with other people constantly, heh, he helped send this registration form only because his head was caught by the door.

On the second night, Newt finally returned to Hogwarts with a large box of prohibited books and pornography.

The next morning, the whole of Hogwarts started an underground transaction again, and every little wizard was boiling. What Newt brought back this time was more than a grade better than last time. Unfortunately, Newt asked for it this time. The information is really too uncommon. They don't even know what an "obscure person" is, let alone provide information about an obscurant person. The little wizards can only stare at Newt very reluctantly. As if Newt would be able to give them the book for free.

"Why do they keep looking at Newt?" Jim asked the Slytherins beside him.

"Oh," the second-year Slytherin explained with a glance at Newt, "Scamander probably has some books he wants again, it was like last year, one for another, anyone who has it can go Find him instead."

The Slytherin, sitting next to the second-year Slytherin, added an explanation.

"Oh, I heard from Ravenclaw, what is it called Mo, Mo or something?" The Slytherin shrugged. "I've never heard of it anyway. According to me, he should go to Ravenclaw. Year after year, what are you researching blindly, Ravenclaw is not as profound as him."

"Can the extra magic power of the Obscure be injected into the Squib?" Jim murmured and repeated. He remembered that day in Knockturn Alley, he asked Newt if he wanted to transfer the magic power, and Newt kissed him angrily, saying no Magic power transfer, and said that his recent research topic is "whether the excess magic power of the obscurant can be injected into the squib."

Jim tightened the cup in his hand, and his voice was rough, he asked.

"Newt, what did he study last year?"

"Oh," said the second-year Slytherin nonchalantly, "Dark magic contracts and magic sorting."

Black magic contract.

Jim looked at Newt from a distance, and suddenly understood one thing.

"Did Newt never go to class?"

"Yeah, otherwise you can hang so many?" The second-year Slytherin took a piece of bread and turned his head to look at him, "Why are you talking so much today?"

"It's nothing." Jim replied perfunctorily, with mixed feelings in his heart.

That person once leaned on the back of the sofa and lazily said "I want to experience life in Hogwarts", Jim still remembers Newt's expression at that time.However, the Newt who said "experience life" has been in school for more than a year, and he hasn't attended a single class until now.Jim didn't dare to think about the reason why Newt did this, and he didn't dare to pursue Newt's thoughts, and he didn't dare to consider whether this behavior could be regarded as Newt's heart.

He'd thought Newt liked him too, but it turned out he wasn't.The first kiss—maybe it wasn't even a kiss at all, maybe it was just a mouthwash and a tooth mark—the first kiss, just for Newt's fun, or Newt's revenge for scaring Newt means.In any case, Newt himself had denied it once, nothing else.

When he was about to fully integrate into Muggle life, Newt appeared again, and Newt proposed to him in a very calm attitude, a half-charitable gesture, he could not agree, his pride would not allow, His heart doesn't allow it either.

After that, Newt walked further and further away from him, but at the farthest point, he pulled closer.Newt kissed him, punitively, but firmly.Lips pressed together, he thought Newt had repented and was just about to respond.Newt suddenly let go of his hand, didn't explain what he did just now, and just stood there flatly.

He had the courage and shame to invite, but Newt just Apparated away.

He'd thought he wouldn't see Newt again until school started.Unexpectedly, the day before school started, Newt suddenly appeared and asked him "what's missing".

What is missing?After being stimulated by Newt's kiss, he didn't sleep well for half a month, and without thinking, he said "lack of a boyfriend".

The words swirled on his lips, and it didn't seem so difficult to say them.But let the other party pinch his chin, and the moment he closes his eyes, he is not without embarrassment and expectation.

Still, Newt didn't respond.His skin seems to be getting thicker.In Newt's presence, he's almost ashamed until he's completely disappointed.Until he completely thought that Newt never liked him, until the day when he blurted out "You probably don't want to have sex with me—" was interrupted by a deep kiss.

This is a real kiss, a real kiss with Newt. At that moment, his world is spinning, and there is only one center of rotation, Newt in front of him.
