A day at Hogwarts

In the principal's office, Charles felt that he had come to the activity center for the elderly. Dumbledore, Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn and Newt Scamander, the professor of protection of magical animals, were all old men, and they were surrounding Studying carefully in front of the huge Voldebat corpse.

Charles was lectured by Professor McGonagall for almost half an hour, and there was no sign of it ending.

Kettleburn came over and patted Charles on the shoulder with his only original hand, and said to Professor McGonagall with a smile: "Minerva, don't be too harsh on talented young people."

Professor McGonagall's body was still trembling slightly, and he stared at Kettleburn fiercely and said, "Sylvanus, I don't want any student to have only one hand and half a leg like you!"

Kettleburn's love for magical animals in his early years was like Hagrid's, but he didn't have Hagrid's physique, so that now he has a hand and a half leg that is a magical prosthesis.

He didn't care about it, and said very proudly: "Oh, it's all worth it for those cute little guys."

At this time, the former headmaster Armando Dippet, who was hanging on the wall, scolded loudly: "Keitelburn, have you never reflected on it for so many years? How many times have you messed up things and injured many people? Have you thought about your responsibilities?"

"In those years, I really protected you too much, and gave you the illusion that the mistakes you made were trivial matters. I should have asked you to go to Azkaban to reflect on that time!"

Kettleburn hesitated for a second, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Dumbledore hurriedly smoothed things over: "Dippet, Sylvanus has become much more stable than before in these years."

Phineas Black on the wall said harshly: "That's right, at least he didn't continue to lose his remaining hand and half of his leg. Doesn't this mean that he is stable?"

When the situation became more relaxed, Newt continued to intervene, saying in a very exaggerated voice: "The first record of the Voldebat was Flavi Poppy, in 1782, in Papua New Guinea. He escaped from the attack and used the guardian The magic spell drove Voldebat away,

"In other words, Smith, a first-year student, can already master the Patronus Charm proficiently."

The Patronus Charm is not a simple spell like the Levitating Charm. Even in the Ministry of Magic, there are many people who can't draw a white halo. It is incredible that a first-year student can summon a guardian who can kill Voldebat. matter.

Everyone in the principal's office and the portrait were immediately distracted and looked at Charles together.

Charles scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I saw it when I was reading a while ago, and I learned it by trying it myself."

After speaking, he raised his wand and swiped a few circles in the air, silver-white light mist poured out from the tip of the wand.

But he didn't let the purple cabbage come out, which was a bit shocking.

Kettleburn patted Charles on the shoulder and said excitedly: "This is really remarkable. I thought you stoned Voldebat to death."

Professor McGonagall was surprised at first, and then smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Dumbledore nodded, also smiling.

Newt said to Charles, "Smith, can you tell me how you got rid of this Voldebat? Ideally, tell me what it did before it got killed, like how it moved, how it attacked, and what it did. What are you afraid of?"

"The last time I was closest to Voldebat was 20 years ago, when a wizard in Kenya caught a small Voldebat with a trap. After I got the news, I immediately wrote to hope he could keep it for me."

"The other party also agreed, but after I arrived, he roasted the Voldebat and entertained me."

Everyone in the principal's office was speechless, only Charles asked stupidly: "Is it delicious?"

Newt doesn't answer, but looks like he wants to hit someone.

Charles immediately pretended that he was a child who was ignorant.

Dumbledore said to him very seriously: "Charles, it is wrong to eat rare magical animals."

"When I first arrived at Hogwarts, I had a subject called Beastry, and by the time I graduated it had become a Care of Magical Creatures class."

"A few years before I went to school there were still a lot of poachers hunting magical animals. They all disappeared when I went to school, but the number of magical animals has become very rare. If you hurt magical animals again, they will become extinct of."

Charles immediately entered the good student mode, and then told the horse people about the process of eliminating the Voldebat, but the Voldebat turned into being smashed to death by his guardian with his head on the wall.

Newt recorded what he said, and at the same time murmured happily: "It turns out that Voldebat is afraid of light, this is very useful news. It lives in a hot cave, and it seems to be very afraid of the cold..."

After Charles finished speaking, he asked Newt: "Mr. Scamander, since the Voldebat lives in a hot place, why did it come to cold Scotland?"

It is very unreasonable for animals to come to a place opposite to their own habitat environment. If it is summer, it can be said that they are lost or chased by natural enemies. But it was winter before, and Voldebat would freeze to death when passing through Europe. It is impossible. Run to Scotland.

And Voldebat was found in a hot cave, so don't expect it to be able to navigate all the way with a map and run there directly.

It was clear to everyone present that Voldebat was brought by someone or someone, but the motive was hard to say.

Before Newt could answer, Dumbledore said, "I think it might have escaped from someone's cage."

He immediately thought of the two mysterious foreign wizards who had suddenly appeared before, and wondered if they had some kind of conspiracy.

At this time, Armando Dippet asked Kettleburn loudly on the wall: "Sylvanus, did you secretly bring back Voldebat!"

Kettleburn immediately shouted the same: "I don't do such things now!"

With their reminder, Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore, and before she could say anything, Dumbledore said, "I know, I will investigate clearly."

Charles also came to his senses and meowed, Hagrid probably brought this Voldebat back.

Dumbledore also seemed to want to figure this out, and he told Charles to go back to rest and prepare to put Voldebat in an empty classroom.

"Newt," Dumbledore said slightly, "if you want to continue studying Voldebat, you'll probably have to live here for a while."

Newt was thinking about how to borrow Voldebat back for research, and such a rare magical animal must be kept in Hogwarts collection, so Dumbledore acted first.

Charles used a bag to help bring Voldebat's body to the classroom where the Mirror of Erised was originally placed. Professor McGonagall took Newt to settle down. Finally, Dumbledore asked Charles and himself to go to the kitchen for something to eat.

Coincidentally, Charles and Dumbledore talked about the discovery of a passage in the thermal cave.

There may be some natural treasures in that place, and there may be some dangerous existence sealed there. Instead of taking risks by yourself, it is better to let the tuba take it with you.

After hearing this, Dumbledore thought very seriously, and waited until Charles was almost full before he said: "Why does that cave have a fever that has troubled wizards for many years? It is related to why the founders built the school here."

Charles immediately goes into story mode.
