Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

“Okay, okay, it’s okay.

"

In the small world inside the suitcase, Newt was constantly calming the irritable Poison Horned Beast with his hands. In his hand, he held a bottle of yellow medicine, which was a special medicine that could make magical animals calm and alert.

After inhaling the drug, the Poison Horn gradually became quiet and lay down on the barren grass and fell asleep. Newt waved his wand to form a protective film over the Poison Horn's habitat, cutting off contact with outside animals.

"This is the only way to protect them." Newt explained to them. "The destructive power of the Poison Horned Beast is too strong, and those who lose their mind will become even crazier."

"Next, it's time to find the birds and snakes."

Newt looked at the magical animals in front of him and began to prepare his next round of remedial plans.

"But birds and snakes are hard to find. They can appear anywhere."

Lewis reminded that the bird snake is different from the poisonous horned beast in that it does not have a definite habitat. Moreover, it can expand and contract its size arbitrarily according to the size of the space.

"You're right, so.

. "

Midway through his words, Newt suddenly frowned and looked upward, as if he sensed something.

Louis next to him also realized that there was a lot of magic fluctuations outside. Just as the two were about to take out their wands to defend themselves, there was a knock on the door from above the suitcase.

Immediately, the wooden door above the cabin was opened, and voices came from above.

"Mr. Scamander, we know you're in there, come out."

Louis signaled Newt not to act rashly. They didn't know what was going on outside. If the other party came with bad intentions, they might be beaten completely as soon as they went out.

"Don't worry, we don't mean any harm. I'm Percival Graves from MACUSA. We received a tip that you illegally carried a box of magical animals and let some go. I hope you can come forward and explain to us. "

Newt and the three looked at each other. Louis suspected that Tina and the sisters had betrayed them, but Newt didn't believe it. He felt that Tina had no way of knowing that they went to Central Park.

“If you won’t come out, we don’t mind resorting to violence, I’ll count to three, one.

two.

"

"Mr. Graves, there's no need to be so hasty."

Before Graves could finish counting, Newt and the other three slowly climbed up from the ladder.

They poked their heads out and saw that they were in an extraordinary hall, surrounded by wizards. They were solemn and solemn, going around in circles. On the top directly above, sat a black man. The skinned woman seemed to be the leader of the meeting, while Graves, who had previously spoken to them, stood aside.

Newt's appearance caused an uproar, not because he was famous, but because of his brother.

Theseus Scamander, the British war hero, was profiled several times in the Daily Prophet, and Newt was featured in the newspapers along with his brother and his future sister-in-law, Rita Strange. .

Of course, many wizards present could not tell the difference between Newt and Theseus, and only the British Minister of Magic was sure.

"Oh, for Merlin's sake, what are you doing in New York?"

He obviously didn't know about Newt's business trip plan, and Newt certainly wouldn't tell him the truth.

"I'm here to buy a velvet, sir. This kind of thing can only be found in the United States."

"Okay." The British Minister of Magic waved his hand. He didn't believe Newt's lies. "Did that guy Dumbledore ask you to come here again? I told you not to use him as an excuse."

Graves' eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Dumbledore's words, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Who are those two people next to you?"

The lady sitting in the center spoke, with a hint of majesty in her tone, rather like a leader.

"Jacob Kowalski, according to our investigation, is a No-Maj, Mr. Chairman."

Hearing the word No-Maj, the people around started whispering again, expressing dissatisfaction and panic.

"No-Maj? Oh my gosh, did someone cast the Oblivion Charm on him?"

"Also, this unknown wizard, I'm sorry, we didn't find him on the file."

"An unknown wizard and a No-Maj entered the country with a box of illegal monsters. Mr. Newt, what else can you say to argue?"

Ms. Piquet, the president of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, said, but Newt's eyes were quickly attracted by a corpse above.

"Oh, Merlin's beard.

"

"You should know which of your creatures is responsible."

"Creature? No.

Newt observed the wounds carefully, "These were not made by animals. Stop pretending. You must know that those wounds were made by Obscurus." "

"Stop being alarmist, Mr. Scamander," Ms. Piquet said seriously, "There are no Obscurials in the United States."

"No, I've seen some, just this morning," Newt said defensively.

"Where's the evidence? Mr. Scamander, we need evidence."

"Louis and I have met." Newt pointed at him and Louis, "And Tina, Tina Goldstein."

"Ms. Goldstein has been fully recruited. She was not with you at all in the morning." Graves interrupted.

“No, we were looking for Jacob, who was injured by one of my creatures.

"

"Confiscate that suitcase, Graves."

Ms. Piquet didn't want to listen to Newt's argument any more. Graves clicked lightly, and the suitcase closed automatically and flew to his side.

"Wait, no, give it back to me."

Newt pulled out his wand, trying to get his stuff back.

"Arrest them."

Following Ms. Piquet's orders, Graves didn't need a wand at all. He waved a few times with one hand in the air, and then he kneeled Newt, Louis and Jacob to the ground. Magic ropes bound his hands.

He held Louis and Newt's wands in his hands, picked up the suitcase and passed by the three of them.

"Hey, don't hurt them, please, you don't understand, they're not harmful."

"We will decide that for ourselves, Mr. Scamander," said Ms. Piquet. "Now, take them to the cell and put them in the cell with Ms. Goldstein."

Several wizards rushed down and took the three away. Newt kept shouting that his creatures were harmless and never hurt his animals until he disappeared at the end of the parliament.

Louis didn't speak during the whole journey. He knew that no matter what he said now, it would be useless and would more likely aggravate the crimes of several people. And just now, when Graves attacked them, the magic acted on him. , seemed to turn on a certain switch in his body, and almost instantly, his connection with the Eternal Stone was re-established.

And that long-lost voice reappeared in his mind.

"Hey little guy, are you okay."
