Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Just after noon, the sun passed through the clouds, reflecting the mottled light and shadow on the grass outside the window.

Newt Scamander was sitting at the dining table in the living room, looking at the parchment spread out in front of him, not knowing where to start for a moment, Tina had taken the children to the Quidditch Stadium of the national team, He still has at least two or three hours.

The idea of ​​"borrowing a dog" from Dumbledore was not Newt's whim.

Understand that the three-headed dog is not an ordinary creature that can be encountered. After so many years, even Newt Scamander has never personally bred this legendary creature that is the favorite partner of the ancient wizards.

And Elena ’s thing is not so much that he really needs a reliable guard, it is better to take this opportunity as an excuse to get such a magical creature from Dumbledore, and study it closely. Fan-Even so, Newt is still hesitant about how to write a letter asking for the three-headed dog.

After all ... he was always not good at taking the initiative to ask for something ...

Newt glanced at the feeding table hanging by the door, thinking slowly and wrote:

"Dear Professor Dumbledore:

"After carefully inventorying the animals that are still raised at home, in order to better teach and take care of the students you send, I think I need to add some necessary security measures and teaching aids here."

Yes, one of the magic guards and teaching goals, this is a pretty reasonable excuse.

On the one hand, the three-headed dog was originally the best choice for the ancient wizards to guard the treasure; on the other hand, the three-headed dog tamed by the wizard, whether in terms of intelligence or loyalty, is very suitable for the wizard's assistant to develop action.

"If your previous description did not exaggerate the ingredients, then you sent me to a Hungarian tree bee with the appearance of a mixed-blooded baby, and also has an inner heart comparable to the goblin goblin. It is not entirely certain whether she still returns Before carrying the vengeance of 'that person', I need a reliable guard to temporarily block access to the animal area. "

Newt Scamander's logic became smoother and clearer, and the feather pen flicked quickly.

"Not long ago, I heard from a friend that there was a domesticated three-headed dog at Hogwarts Castle. I hope you can send it to me temporarily during this time to serve as a guard and teaching object. At the same time, it's a compensation. "

To be honest, he was once pitted many times by Dumbledore and the magic world, and he was no stranger to the term compensation.

But after so many years of struggling in the pit, Newt is now more proficient at dealing with all kinds of troubles, and has gradually learned how to claim partial reasonable compensation under certain circumstances-and, although he Because I am obsessed with the world of magical animals and do not like to deal with people, but raising magical animals requires a lot of resources.

Nut Scamander, now in his nineties, is no longer the shy and naive boy.

Pondered for a few seconds, Newt thought about it and wanted to add a few more words.

"You do n’t worry, I do n’t plan to own this big dog, I just want to update some of the information about the magical animal that is missing from" Where is the magical animal. "In short, as long as you can convince Mr. Hagrid to treat this three-headed dog Lent me temporarily for a month, and I will write off this time about the 'lodging arrangement', and I will have no more complaints since then. "

Newt Scamander suddenly stopped, and he always felt that there was a shadow coming near.

But he thought about it carefully, and there didn't seem to be too many problems.

The only "borrowed" three-headed dog that might be in trouble, if it is really difficult to tame or is in danger, Professor Dumbledore will naturally refuse directly-as a famous wizard in the magical animal world, even before No experience with raising three-headed dogs, but Newt doesn't have much doubt about whether he can control the big dog.

Maybe it's because I made a big mistake this time?

However, in view of the lessons learned since he met Albus Dumbledore, Newt did not feel that he was a bit cautious about Elena ’s affairs—Dumbledore had been pitting him for so many years Can be quite frequent.

"Finally, I have another question. Did you secretly promise anything strange to that child?

"Your students and friends, Newt Scamander."

Put down the quill pen and read it from the beginning, Newt pulled out his wand and lightly on the parchment paper, the paper automatically floated up and folded automatically, and then pulled the blank parchment paper below to extend into an envelope and wrapped the letter paper.

After carefully tapping on the envelope a few times, after casting a unique trace of the magical trace of his own private contact with Dumbledore, Newt went to the owl shed at the top of the tree house and found a The little guy shivering in the corner.

Until then, Newt discovered the first strange change since Elena came--

I do n’t know why, the owls in his family are more or less nervous at this time. Most of the owls that should have been at rest have woke up, shrinking together in fear, and making an uneasy cooing. sound.

This is ... Is the mulatto Meiwa's suppression of birds?

Even if it is the irritated form of a pure-blooded baby, most of it is not so. I do n’t know to what extent the little white-haired ball strengthens its bloodline magic. Just staying in the room for a while can produce this effect.

Newt sighed secretly, appeased the panicking little owl slightly, and bound the letter to the opponent's paw.

Finally received a delivery mission that could travel far, the owl rubbed the back of Newt's hand intimately and made an unidentified cooing sound, fluttering his wings quickly, and flew towards the distant sky.

Watching the owl messenger gradually blend in between the sky, Newt took a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Is just taking care of the mixed-breed baby girl for a month. If you can get a rare three-headed dog breeding opportunity, this exchange seems to be acceptable when you think about it. "Where is the magical animal" has not updated the new animal illustrations for a long time.

"Three-headed dog, I really hope Professor Dumbledore can agree ..."

Newt whispered, appeasing the other owls in the owl shed.

Then, he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, quickly walked downstairs.

At this time, there is still a lot of time until Tina and the little girls come back. Newt Scamander is ready to quickly go to the "Underground Magic Zoo" to feed his own animals first, and by the way, put each cage and fence Check it all.

In addition to this, perhaps you have to clean up a small space for daily life for the upcoming three-headed dog.

Of course, the premise is that Professor Dumbledore is willing to temporarily lend him the rare three-headed dog to raise him for a period of time. In fact, Newt is not very sure about whether this can be successful-in short, try After all, it is good.

…………

At the same time, the end of Bournemouth beach extension.

Jurassic Coast ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ This is the name of this long coastline.

Winding more than 150 kilometers from East Devon to Dorset, this is the most spectacular coastline in the UK and one of the most wonderful natural landscapes in the world. It is the only place that can show the earth ’s nearly 200 million years of history.

There are traces of prehistoric history everywhere on the beaches, seabeds, cliffs, sea erosion columns and stone arches along the coast, including many fossils left by prehistoric animals and plants, and even the footprints of dinosaurs.

For Newt Scamander, there are still traces of magical animals that have disappeared.

This is one of the reasons why he chose to hide in Bournemouth with his wife.

However, for most people in the magic world, in addition to the value of the study of magical animals and the charming landscape of the natural world, there is another more well-known landmark venue-

The Quidditch national team training base of the British magic world, the location of the [Jurassic Quidditch Stadium].

The clear waves washed the beach at once, and the soft golden beach had a desire to take off your shoes and run on it. The sea breeze brought a hint of summer to make you feel intoxicated.

Under the guidance of Tina Scamander, Elena and the three took the flying broom and walked through the barrier set up by the Ministry of Magic, along the long coastline, chatting to the sky while facing the huge and magnificent not far away Walked to the stadium.

That is the place where the legendary British Quidditch geniuses gathered and carried the hope of the British magic world.

And this day, hope, finally came. .
