Tom took his familiar sniff to a corner and sat down, and Hermione followed with a slightly smaller sniff.
"Hey, the little guy who got out of Professor Scamander's box twice before," Tom said, showing Hermione the fat sniff's hind legs.
After being caught by the hind paws, Fat Sniff started struggling hard. The scene suddenly became very funny: it was like a fat man trying to do sit-ups, stirring his stomach up and down a few times, trying to stretch his short legs to reach Tom's hand, who was grabbing his hind legs. .
Looking at the fat sniff in his hand, Tom smiled, "I don't know how the sniff tastes? Looking at the fat one, it might taste as delicious as the bamboo rat."
Sniff: !
Then it struggled harder.
"Don't scare it!" Hermione gave Tom an angry look, and when she got closer, she seemed to be the familiar Sniff. Although the sniffers all look alike, such fleshy sniffers are rare. The other sniffers looked like a big mouse, and Tom was almost catching up with the rabbit.
"Okay, I won't do anything to you," Tom grabbed the back of Niffler's neck, "but if you move around again and accidentally get an internal injury, then you can only..."
Sniff suddenly became honest.
After being shocked for a while, seeing the fat sniffler in his hand becoming well-behaved, Tom also let go of the back of its neck and hugged it. Fat Sniff also cooperated and put out his head and arched Tom's stomach to show closeness.
"This little thing is quite family," Hermione's Sniff put her long nose next to Hermione's ear and sniffed vigorously, making her feel itchy in her ear and couldn't help laughing.
"It's estimated that our sniffers will go on a treasure hunt for a while. Whoever sniffs the most treasures will win." Tom speculated on Newt's next teaching plan. Sniff in his hand raised his head proudly, as if to express that he would never lose to other sniffs.
"Precisely guessed," Newt emerged from behind Tom at some point, "but it's a little short of quite right—you'll find out later."
"Professor Scamander," Hermione stopped Newt as he was about to leave, taking the opportunity to ask her own question about the Crooked Snorer.
But to Hermione's disappointment, Newt had never heard of this magical creature, but he couldn't deny the possibility of this creature's existence.
"We can't think that they don't exist because we haven't seen them. This is too arrogant. I firmly believe that there are many magical animals in the world that have not been discovered by the magic world. For example, my grandson Rove once discovered one. An invisible butterfly..." Newt stretched out his finger and scratched Sniff's belly in Tom's hand, making it curl up.
"Your grandson?" Hermione raised her head in astonishment.
Newt: ?
"I am also a living person, and of course I have my own lovers and descendants," Newt said, "Although I am a bit like an old school, I also have a wife!"
Newt is a bit like a taciturn senior brother in the laboratory. He doesn't seem to know much about social interaction and is completely obsessed with his own experimental subject. Such a person seems to have nothing to do with the word "girlfriend", but Newt just found it. Wife, his wife's name is Tina Goldstein - Scamander, an American half-blood witch who attended Thunderbird Academy at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After graduating from school, she became an Auror of the Magical Congress of the United States.
The Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the largest wizarding school in North America. It is located in Mount Greylock, Massachusetts, and enrolls students throughout North America - South America is the same old Castrobusher School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as Hogwarts. territory.
Like Hogwarts, Ilvermorny divides its students into four houses. The reason for this is that the founder of this wizarding school is very longing for life at Hogwarts, so Ilvermorny is somewhat similar to Hogwarts in every way. The four colleges of Ilvermorny are the Longhorn Water Serpent College, which represents the wisdom of the wizard, the Cat and Leopard College, which represents the wizard's body, the Thunderbird College, which represents the wizard's soul, and the Pukechi College, which represents the wizard's heart.
Longhorn Water Snake Academy favors scholars, Cat Leopard Academy advocates warriors, Thunderbird Academy students are mostly adventurous people, Pukeqi Academy likes to accept kind-hearted students, and this Academy has contributed many famous doctors. The four houses of Ilvermorny are very similar to the four houses of Hogwarts, except that the Slytherin house is eliminated and Gryffindor is divided into two parts.
"Professor, does your grandson also go to school at Hogwarts?" Tom recalled carefully, and found that he didn't seem to have heard the surname Scamander.
"Uh..." Newt blinked a little nervously, "He entered school a year later than you, and is now in second grade. Like me, this kid is a boring gourd, and he likes to be alone in the secluded every day. Researching all kinds of magical creatures in the corner of the house - well, no more talking, I still have class."
Newt left in a hurry. About his grandson, he withheld a little bit of information: that is, his grandson, like him, is also a person who does not follow the school rules very much when facing magical animals.
Newt is not a Hogwarts graduate. To be precise, he should be called an undergrad He was keen on learning about magical creatures during Hogwarts school, and he would do it himself. Some experiments with magical beasts - Newt is not a theory, he is a super actionist. When he was seven, he dissected the hawkerpup - a pink, spiky, mushroom-like creature - in his bedroom more than once!
During his school days, he also became good friends with Rita Lestrange, who was also interested in magical creatures and who was also marginalized. It was this good friend that got him expelled from Hogwarts.
This friend of his is very interested in magical animals and likes to do various experiments, but his level is still low, which eventually led to her experiment on soil pickled mink threatening the life of a student. Newt didn't want to see his friend get fired, so he stood up and resisted the punishment and was expelled from Hogwarts. Fortunately, Albus Dumbledore, then a professor of Transfiguration, interceded, and he was able to keep his wand.
And Newt's grandson and he were carved out of the same mold. Rove also likes to experiment, and he likes to venture into the Forbidden Forest—more often than the Weasleys. Newt came to Hogwarts as a substitute teacher and had a great relationship with his grandson.
The worst is the worst, you can also go to the Forbidden Forest with your grandfather and grandson to find unicorns!
