Hogwarts Homecoming

Newt looked at the young wizard in front of him with clear eyes. In recent years, his name had appeared in his ears more times than the Minister of Magic.

Tina and her friends always like to discuss this handsome young man with extraordinary skills. When the Daily Prophet has nothing to report, it will write two interesting stories about Amosta Blaine, because The newspaper knew people were curious about him.

When his grandson came home during the summer vacation, at least half of the time he chattered to him about what happened in the school was related to Professor Brain.

Rolf vowed that when he enters third grade next year, he will also attend physical education classes taught by Amosta Blaine. Newt has reservations about this.

Maybe people who don't know the truth will be curious about this new course, but Newt can clearly see the danger behind it.

Amosta Brain is teaching the young wizard real dueling techniques. Duel techniques for fighting.

After learning the news, he once wrote to Albus asking why he allowed Hogwarts to open such a dangerous course. But Dumbledore did not answer this question clearly. He only said that Amosta believed that some ancient techniques were far from being discarded, and as a professor in charge of student safety, Amosta had the right to make this decision. Decide.

Whenever a war starts, the butcher's knife will generally not hit unarmed ordinary people, but if you receive strict training and are a qualified soldier, or have the combat qualities that a qualified soldier should have, even if you are just a child. , it’s hard to say whether killing will come to your door.

Newt believed Albus knew this, but he still trusted Amosta Blaine.

Newt trusted Albus's judgment, so he also trusted Amosta, but he was very surprised when he saw Amosta shaking his head and rejecting his request.

"I'm afraid I can't help, Newt—"

After thinking for a moment, Amosta shook his head. He looked at New York's surprised eyes and hurriedly explained before he asked,

"If I were writing to anyone else, I wouldn't be stingy with a little ink, Newt, but it's Truck Graves."

Amosta paused for a moment,

"I'm worried that my letter will not only have no effect, but will have the opposite effect."

Newt continued to blink and say nothing.

"I'm pretty sure that the head of security at the Magic Congress doesn't like me and doesn't welcome my arrival. Maybe you don't know, but the premise for him to allow me to enter the country is that I must hand over my wand, and during the entry, I must always Under security surveillance."

This matter was not actually a top secret, but Newt, who was deaf to what was happening outside the window, didn’t know about it. He asked in surprise,

"But a few days ago, when you were stopping the Poisonous Leopard."

"That wand comes from the employee of the Ministry of Magic who is spying on me. You don't see her now because she suffered some minor injuries at the hands of the Venom Panther that night and is currently recovering at St. Josiah's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries."

Amosta said calmly.

"All right--"

Newt looked around the cabin where he was staying and smiled bitterly.

"It seems that we are all unwelcome guests, and the security department does not allow me to bring my friends into the country. They are only willing to let Hobby, Milly and Moller follow me, oh. And Wright, that one Basilisk, originally they also refused to let Wright enter, but I wrote to Graves and told him that besides me, even Tina couldn't take care of Wright, so he had to reluctantly agree. "

Amosta took a sip of the scalding hot tea and thought for a moment.

"Have you made any progress, Newt, in your investigation of, I mean, those missing magical animals?"

When he mentioned this, Newt's expression became even more depressed, and he shook his head.

"Those who poached magical animals from this magical animal nature reserve are a group of very cunning guys. They avoided the MACCA employees who were guarding here and did not let the magical animals here discover them. They were silent and invisible. Leave some holes."

"No flaws left?"

Amosta narrowed his eyes and looked slightly moved.

"Oh, you understand how difficult this is, right?"

Newt said solemnly,

"A chimera, a cat leopard, a five-legged monster, a man-headed lion body and a scorpion tail... To be honest, for normal people, none of them are easier to deal with than the poisonous leopard. They can be captured Their wizards seemed to have no trouble getting them away from here with ease.

You have fought against the Poison Leopard, Amosta, you should know what this means. "

Amosta nodded slightly and remained silent.

If Amosta had a magic wand in his hand, it wouldn't be difficult to force these 5X dangerous magical animals to surrender, but he couldn't guarantee that he would not make any noise or let the wizards guarding this place. Discover with magical creatures with sensitive spiritual senses.

The loss of these dangerous magical animals was something he had known about since he landed in New York. The case lasted for two months. With the Department of Security Aurors stationed at the station, the person who did it also conducted a third investigation. The second operation successfully took away the five-legged monster. The details behind this are worth pondering.

"Poaching magical creatures, to be honest, this kind of thing is not uncommon-"

Amosta mused,

"Especially those rare creatures, they can always be sold for good prices on the black market. But I am really confused. What is the purpose of taking such risks and poaching magical creatures with the highest risk level on a large scale? It should not be for gold. , I believe the Department of Security has closely monitored the black market here in New York.”

"It's really unusual."

Newt, who has lived for a century and experienced many bizarre events, also frowned and said,

"What on earth are they going to do? Not all 5X dangerous magical creatures are valuable, just like the five-legged monster. The wizards couldn't use anything on it, but those people still took it away.

I sincerely hope that whoever took them was not trying to tame them and then launch a terrorist attack. Speaking of which, I suspect they also wanted to do something to the opal eye at the time, but its recent bad temper may have made those people feel that it would be too risky to approach it. Risk. Maybe his bad temper saved his life. "

Amosta wanted to remind that since those people dared to launch a second attack, there might be a third. The fire dragon was not necessarily completely safe, and it needed to be closely monitored.

But when I thought about it, it was obvious that both Newt and the Magic Congress would definitely take this into consideration, so they didn’t say anything more.

Newt sat there, frowning.

It took him most of his life to finally make people realize that magical creatures are not simply dangerous and unable to communicate. They also communicate with wizards and can share the magical world with wizards. Now, more and more knowledgeable people have realized that the role of magical animals to wizards is not just to provide their hair, scales, or internal organs and pancreas.

He has been worried that those people are specifically targeting the most dangerous magical animals, just to use the power of these magical animals to launch attacks.

He couldn't imagine what serious consequences it would have if those dangerous animals went on a killing spree in the bustling Muggle area of ​​New York.

Needless to say, the wizarding world will definitely be exposed. Today's Muggle communication methods are not like those of seventy years ago. It only takes half an hour for the news of strange animals killing civilians in New York to spread throughout the Muggle world.

What is even more frightening is that if such a vicious event occurs, wizards may rethink the uncertainty of magical animals, and their attitude towards magical animals may return to a century ago.

"Well--"

Amosta was also well aware of the serious consequences that this matter might have. He pondered,

"I can help you find Nar'ak, Newt."

Awakening from his thoughts, Newt nodded.

"Thank you..., but actually I don't have high hopes. I know Narlak. If that goblin holds clues to this matter, it will not hesitate to sell them for money, Amos. tower--"

Newt stood up and waved to Amosta.

"Let me go meet Wright together. I have something I need you to know."
