Chapter 386: Newt’s Life Experience

Felix just wanted to introduce him. At this moment, a black shadow ran out of the tent, followed Newt's feet onto his shoulders, and pointed Felix with one hand on his hips and the other.

"Haw! Haw!" Sniff Wallen exclaimed excitedly.

Even Harry and the others could see that this sniff was complaining.

"Oh, Wallen," Newt said soothingly, "It's good to learn more knowledge. You should really read the chapter on'Sniffing' I wrote, and if you are literate, I can give it to you every year. Wrote..."

Sniffing Wallen looked at Newt incredulously.

Newt looked at it, "Are you still drinking your tonic? I brought a copy..."

"Hum!"

Sniff let out a mournful cry, threw himself into Felix's arms from his shoulder, hid his head, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, gentlemen and ladies, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Newt Scamander, the most prestigious expert on magical animal protection in the world." Felix smiled while holding a sniff. He said: "Mr. Scamander came here this morning. Principal Dumbledore successfully persuaded him to leave a precious memory and live forever with Hogwarts... If anyone writes this school history in the future, It must be worth a big book today."

Newt looked at Felix somewhat uncomfortably, the expression on his face was the same as his memory.

The light of worship of knowledge flickered in Hermione’s eyes, and she couldn’t wait to say: "Mr. Newt Scamander, we wrote you a letter to me, Harry and Ron," she pointed to the two people next to her. "About Hagrid's Buckbeak! It is still in the Forbidden Forest, living with its family!"

Newt looked at Hermione, Harry and Ron, who were shorter, and Cedric, Collins, and Roger Davis who were standing next to them. They all stared at him intently. He found that he had become The focus of sight.

He said softly, "Is it Miss Granger? Oh... I just did what I thought was right... things, and I would be happy about it."

They were sitting around a simple wooden square table in the camp, and the wood texture on the surface of the table could be clearly seen, and the memory belonging to Newt whispered: "Sorry, I am not accompanied." Then disappeared.

Newt himself blinked, looking reluctantly at the place where the memory disappeared. When he turned his head, he found that everyone was looking at him in a little surprise, and he cleared his throat, "Well, let’s officially start... Dumbledore said to me that I just need to leave a memory and leave the matter to him. Just fine... But I insist on seeing you before I leave, I think it's necessary."

"My footprints have been all over the five continents. I have visited the nests of wild beasts, underground animal caves, and bird nests. I have observed the peculiar habits of magical animals in more than 100 countries, experienced their abilities first-hand, and won their trust. , Occasionally I also use the travel bottle to drive them away."

"Brigade, travel bottle...?" Roger Davis laughed and stroked his hair. "Have you encountered a group of migrating goblins?"

Others want to laugh a little too.

But Newt answered Davis very seriously, "No, it's a bunch of big-headed monsters."

"What's that?" Harry asked.

"Well"

Felix hooked his fingers, and a strange creature appeared on the ground, about a foot tall, with a hairy body but a bare gray big head.

"It's like this." Newt said happily: "You see, compared to their bodies, their heads are surprisingly big, they just need to be on the ground. Yes, thank you for watching. If you don't pay attention, you will mistake them for them. It is a big bright and round stone, many traveling wizards did not notice, leaning on them to rest, resting on them, and when they woke up, they found that they were more tired, lethargic... or entered a kind of hysteria. State of despair."

"This kind of creature likes chasing people's shadows. If you encounter them in the wild, you can make a little noise to scare them. Of course, the coma spell can also be used, or you can just kick it away with your feet..."

Among the six warriors, only Cedric took the sixth grade protection of magical creatures. This was due to the influence of his father. Mr. Amos Diggory now works in the Magical Creatures Management and Control Department of the Ministry of Magic. He had seen pictures of big-headed monsters in class, but when he heard Newt's introduction, he still felt novel. They found that this somewhat ill-spoken old man was always talking about magical animals and inadvertently mentioned many interesting details.

Harry asked Thunderbird.

"It is a large flying bird magical animal that can perceive danger and create storms while flying." Newt said nostalgic: "Almost seventy years ago, to be precise, it was 1926. I was in Egypt from 1926. A trafficker rescued a Thunderbird. I called it Frank. Something happened... I can’t tell, I signed a non-disclosure agreement... But I met my wife in this incident..."

There was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Thunderbird is a bit like an enlarged eagle. It has brilliant feathers and different colors, but they usually drag two long tail feathers. They are distant relatives of the Phoenix. The feathers on Frank's body are golden and white, and they shine in the sun. Shine like a flowing cloud."

Harry asked, "But I heard that, uh, thunderbird feathers can be used to make wands. What are the characteristics of this wand? There are also long-horned water snakes?"

Byers had told him that the core of his wand was a thunderbird feather, and that Victor Graves' core was a cut from the one-horned water snake.

Newt thought for a while and said: "Thunderbirds are very sensitive to supernatural dangers. It is said that the wand made of thunderbird feathers is not only powerful, but can also be the first to launch spells in a duel..." Harry took a deep look at each other. Newt continued: "But I think this description is a bit exaggerated. My wife Tina's wand is made of thunderbird feathers. I am no stranger to it. She often complains to me that her wand is difficult to control. "

"As for the long-horned water snake, I don’t know much about its magic wand," Newt said realistically. similar……"

Felix interjected: "I happen to know a little about the material of the wand. One thing you need to know is that although the wand chooses the wizard, the wizard will also affect the wand with the long-term company. Even the same material and core. Magic wands have different effects in the hands of different wizards, so you should pay more attention to people."

Several people nodded.

For the next hour, they chatted and enjoyed a leisurely evening, as if they really came to the Romanian Fire Dragon Reserve under the leadership of Professor Haipu and happened to meet a knowledgeable elder.

"...The first time I saw the fire dragon was in a secret project of the Ministry of Magic, in 1914, when I was just an adult...just an inferior employee of the Ministry...but other people in the Ministry took the group The Ukrainian Iron Belly couldn't help it, so they approached me. Later they had to abandon this plan because the investigators of the Ministry of Magic discovered that these dragons only responded to me..."

Harry looked at Newt in a daze, he explained

"I was born to communicate with different creatures and establish contact with them. I am very good at dealing with them... Later, in 1918, the publisher of the Silent Book Company, August Worm, commissioned me to write a book. The authoritative manual for magical animals. I gladly accepted this proposal, and at the same time deeply felt my own shortcomings, so I used the holiday to travel around the world and accumulate materials, and in 1925, I went on a one-year trip to record the habitats of various magical animals. land……"

The young wizards present, including Felix, listened in silence. He could hear an outstanding or even a great wizard telling his own experiences in his youth. From his words, he felt those who could not be put into writing. Deep thought, this feeling is quite fascinating.

"It was a wonderful day, carefree, and always looking forward to tomorrow. I walked through the black and black African forests and observed the precious pictures of the snakes from the eggshells; wandered through the bright Egyptian deserts, and went Follow the local legends about Sphinx; wandering to the uninhabited Irish Green Lake, drape the horse-shaped water monster with broad-leaf cattail grass; cross the twists and turns of the European mountains and witness the funny show of the mountain monster trying to tame the horned beast... "

"Until 1927, I completed the first edition of the book "Where are Fantastic Beasts", which soon became a bestseller after publication."

"It's still Hogwarts textbook!" Roger Davis said.

"My mother used it as a storybook to coax me to sleep... but she didn't realize that it was counterproductive." Cedric said, and the people around snickered kindly.

"Children." Newt is about to end today's conversation.

"At first, I just wanted more people to realize the characteristics of magical animals that live on the same land as us, and improve their lives by the way. People at that time still had prejudices against these animals. For centuries, because "what is an animal The question of “what is a human” is endlessly disputed... I am also thinking about the relationship between animals and humans more and more deeply during my constant travel. If there is anything I want to tell you from my experience, it is only communication. And understanding will eliminate the barriers."

Newt stood up and tidied his blue coat.

"Mr. Scamander, have you really decided not to stay for a day or two?" Felix said with reluctance.

"I'm a little worried about Tina... She is at home who cares about the magical animals in the basement. This is not an easy thing." The animal knowledge is left, and he will replace me and tell you all about the fire dragon."

"I wish you all the best to pass the test in advance." He put on his hat and said to the six warriors.

Harry and the others responded in a mess, and then Hermione asked: "Mr. Scamander, what was your mood for the first time you knew you were about to face a fire dragon? Are there any fears?"

"fear?"

"Just worried, so excited that I can't sleep," Hermione said.

"My opinion may not be suitable for you, but in my opinion, worry means suffering one more sin. And whether it is me at that time or you now, I face the fire dragon in a relatively safe environment, so We can be a little relieved... I hope I can help you, Miss Granger." Newt replied seriously.

When he was about to leave, he saw his memory hidden in the mist and a group of magical animals behind him. The past is vivid, his eye sockets are moist, and he sighs lightly, and leaves classroom 7 with everyone.
