Hiding in Hogwarts as a professor

As the snow completely melts and the sun becomes brighter, the new semester arrives with students reluctant to leave the holidays.

An old Hufflepuff senior who had left school for many years – Newt Scamander, the world-renowned magical biologist, only had time to appear at Hogwarts on the first weekend after school started. at the school gate.

Dumbledore, on the other hand, had already been waiting here with Twil, Hermione and Fleur.

“Long time no see, Newt.”

Before Newt could stand still, Dumbledore rushed up to him and gave him a warm hug.

But from an angle that no one noticed, Newt whispered something in Dumbledore’s ear.

“It has been confirmed that he is indeed contacting his subordinates.”

“Thank you for your hard work!” Dumbledore let go of Newt and said loudly, “You were still a lively young man back then, but you must be a hundred years old now, right?”

“We still have to wait two years, not to mention you have been working on this, how can I be embarrassed to slack off?” Newt smiled shyly.

In Dumbledore’s eyes, it was as if years of time had been frozen in his face, and he was no different from the original Newt.

“That’s great.” Dumbledore sighed for a while, then suddenly woke up and brought him to Turville and the others.

Tweel also had time to take a look at Newt Scamander.

He wore a slim-fitting retro suit, which showed off his figure, which is considered thin for an elderly person.

But judging from the big hands holding the suitcase, his body is not as weak as it looks.

When Twell was in school, he used textbooks written by Newt.

But apart from that, since he had never seen the movie “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, he could only learn about Mr. Scamander from the occasional words his teacher said to him.

(The series of movies hasn’t been released yet, so I can only set it like this~)

But judging from the tone, the teacher doesn’t seem to like Mr. Scamander very much…

“Twil Foley, nice to meet you, Mr. Scamander.” Twil smiled and held out his hand.

Newt was stunned for a moment, seemingly a little surprised by Twell’s performance.

Seeing the confirmation in Dumbledore’s eyes, he quickly shook it.

“Sorry, I have never seen a professor as young and handsome as you.”

Tweel knew that this was not the reason for his confusion. He probably learned about his relationship with Grindelwald from Dumbledore, and was surprised by the difference in appearance between himself and his teacher.

So after that, Turville stood aside, looking playfully back and forth between Dumbledore and Newt. .

Like a bystander, he watched Dumbledore introduce Hermione and Fleur to Newt, and watched Hermione eagerly tell Newt about Hagrid.

“Well, I did hear about Rubeus Hagrid, but Miss Granger, I don’t know if you know that I took the lead in writing the Animal Breeding Experiments Prohibition Act and helped it become law?”

Newt said with a somewhat complicated expression.

He pushed for this law to be passed to prevent creatures like the Blast-Ended Skrewt from appearing.

Maybe the blast-ended snails are nothing, but I’m afraid that one day, a particularly lethal and difficult-to-treat creature will be bred inexplicably.

And Hagrid’s behavior was undoubtedly against the law.

If another person did this, Newt would definitely report it to the Ministry of Magic immediately…

Hermione smiled awkwardly.

Fortunately, Dumbledore didn’t want to see Hagrid suffer criticism like this, so he immediately pulled Newt towards the castle.

“Let’s talk about this back to my office. Besides, Granger’s focus is not on the cultivation of Blast-Ended Skrewts, but on the discrimination and prejudice Hagrid encountered.”

“It can even be said that it is the discrimination and prejudice encountered by all non-human intelligent creatures!”

“I think you should be able to provide these young people with some solid and effective advice.”

The atmosphere among the group immediately relaxed, and they walked around the castle talking and laughing. Newt also told some interesting stories about his previous days at Hogwarts.

But this team clearly caught the attention of the castle students.

They did not recognize Newt’s identity, but were curious that Dumbledore would receive a guest so warmly.

They had only seen this kind of situation on the day Beauxbatons and Durmstrang came to Hogwarts.

But when they saw Professor Welfare following behind him with a frown, they didn’t dare to come up and ask.

Although the professor is usually friendly, when it comes to serious matters, he can still easily intimidate all students.

But once he entered the principal’s office, the moment Dumbledore noticed him, Tver’s expression became normal.

”

Take a seat, Granger, and Miss Delacour, do you mind if I listen in here? ”

Dumbledore was asking, but he couldn’t wait to come to the chair and sat down.

For this meeting, Dumbledore specially prepared a small round table with some desserts and drinks on it, making it look like having afternoon tea.

Wait, it seems like it’s really tea time?

Tver sat down curiously.

The discussion was not confidential, and Hermione and Fleur certainly would not kick Dumbledore out.

What’s more, this is Dumbledore’s office…

“I have read the report you published in the Daily Prophet. To be honest, it is a very mature idea. I don’t know what kind of help I can give you.”

When it comes to his own profession, Newt’s previous shyness no longer exists, and he instantly becomes capable and determined.

“But there is one thing I want to remind you.”

“The most important thing for wizards to identify with other intelligent creatures is not to make wizards pity them, nor to make wizards feel guilty for them.”

“I’m not saying that this kind of mercy won’t be helpful, but you must clearly understand that wizards are very realistic.”

“In other words, when human beings are in groups, they are actually very realistic. When they consider it, they will definitely weigh the benefits of different approaches.”

“And what they choose must not be the one that seems kindest and most equal, but the option that maximizes their interests!”

“So, your idea about house elves is very correct. Use the inefficiency caused by the slavery system to protect the rights of the elves.”

“But not hybrid giants like Hagrid, or even other intelligent creatures. At least, you have to let the wizards see the benefits that accepting them can bring to the magic world!”

Fleur immediately nodded in agreement. She thought Hermione’s thinking was a bit childish at first because she believed in human nature too much.

But now Hermione has gradually realized this under Tweel’s guidance.

So not only did the two people not refute, but they came up with various papers and opinions prepared for this discussion.

“This article is where we think about the conflict between the goblin’s demands and the wizard’s interests, and summarizes the possibility of each side taking a step back, and the benefits for both sides.”

“But we think it’s a bit difficult. What does Mr. Scamander think of the goblins?”

“Then this is the Beast Office of the Ministry of Magic of various countries that Fleur discovered. The rules and regulations are unfriendly to intelligent creatures. We all feel that it has aggravated the conflicts between us and other creatures.”

“Mr. Scamander used to work here, and it is said that he was dissatisfied with this situation, right?”

“…”

Newt’s mouth opened in surprise, his eyes glazed over.

Are today’s students already so realistic? !
