Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 465 Newt Scamander

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! The Maca from the Pig’s Head Bar is still considering whether to go to the Burrow or Lovegood’s.But obviously, he doesn't need to worry about it anymore, because his Owl Marfa sent him a note.

This is a note signed by Minerva McGonagall. The content is very simple-Mr. Newt Scamander has just arrived at Hogwarts and wants to meet him immediately.

Judging from the time when Maca sent the letter, it seemed that Mr. Scamander didn't come directly to Hogwarts after receiving the letter.

"Okay!" He nodded slightly, "I hope the wording of my letter is really tactful enough..."

For this famous magical biologist Newt Scamander, Maca didn't know much.He only knew that this old gentleman was a complete workaholic and loved magical animals very very much.

It's just that in the magic world, many people seem to think that this distinguished old scholar is not so likable.

Because since he was young, he has been a little lonely, doesn't like to deal with people but loves to take care of his magical animals.As I get older, although it is better than in the past, it still seems to be not very good at communication.

Regardless of his academic ability, he is probably a lonely little old man, right?

While thinking, Maca stepped on the magic book and flew away in the direction of Hogwarts Castle.It was not far from the school, and soon he entered the school from the main entrance.

Those who remained in Hogwarts this Christmas Eve were more professors. They seemed to be enjoying the aftermath of Christmas Eve dinner in the auditorium.As for the few students who did not go home, most of them went to Hogsmeade Village after the meal.

When Maca pushed open the door of the brightly lit auditorium, everyone inside looked towards him.

He could see that a strange old wizard was dressed in casual clothes, sitting beside Professor McGonagall.There were not many people at the dinner tonight, and eating at a long table would only make people feel empty, so a big round table was set up for dinner.

"You are Mr. Scamander, right?" Maca hurried forward and said apologetically, "I didn't go to your home to inform you. Please understand..."

The old gentleman sitting next to Professor McGonagall was a little thin and didn't look very tall.The gray hair curled up slightly, seemed a little messy.It's just that those eyes didn't show turbidity because of age, and they were still full of attachments like young people.

Although he is almost a hundred years old, but looking at his spirited appearance, how can he feel the slightest senility?

And not far from him, an old lady was sitting there.Her expression seemed a little mournful, and a middle-aged man was comforting her softly.

"You're McLean?" When he saw Maca, he apologized, and Scamander stood up, patted his arm and said, "It's not your fault, the current situation in the British magical world. It's also clear, I can understand."

"Thank you," Maca said regretfully, "It's just that I didn't have time to save your relatives."

Scamander heard the words, but shook his head gently.

"Before I came to Hogwarts, I had already been to the United States. To be honest, the situation was more serious than I thought. The Magic Congress of the United States sent Auror to clean the manor and found many suspicious people... "He said, frowning again, "I can see, who are those people..."

"It's the silent one." Maca didn't hide anything about this, because he remembered that Scamander knew a lot about the silent one.

"Yes! Silent..." Scamander repeated the word. "And the markings on their chests, it's amazing... Did Greenward appear again? Just after Dumbledore died. Not long after?"

"Greenward? In America?" Professor McGonagall said in surprise.

"It is not clear where the first-generation Dark Lord is now.

"McLean, you know?" Professor McGonagall asked hurriedly.

"Well," Maca nodded again, "I've seen him so many times, but every time he didn't meet face-to-face--he was very careful. And...seems to have another purpose..."

"This is really bad news." Mr. Scamander frowned, showing a contemplative look.

"Father, don't talk about that! You should think about Aunt Queenie's mood!" At this moment, the middle-aged man who was with the old lady suddenly raised his head and shouted.

"Oh, I'm sorry--" Old Mr. Scamander suddenly understood, and looked at the old lady slightly sadly, "Queeny, you..."

"It's okay, I'm okay." The wrinkles on the old lady's face tightened, "Ah... my poor little Zoe..."

When the old lady started talking, Maca remembered something.

"Madam?" He hesitated, "Oh no, I mean, old lady... Have we met once in Jackson Trade Plaza?"

"You are..." The old lady thought for a while. It seemed that her memory didn't seem so clear. After a short while she nodded slightly, "Oh, that kid that night?"

In fact, Maca met her at night, and the old man could see him clearly.

"I'm really sorry, old lady..." Maca leaned slightly towards her, "As for Zoe, I have used the replay spell on the wand that took her life, and I have also played against Zoe's will There was a conversation. Although it was only Zoe who was simulated by the spell, she was really brave and did not flinch when facing her own death..."

"...I wanted to convey some last words for her, but she didn't say anything about her. At the last moment, she chose to try to reveal some truth to me instead of lingering about her own death. ."

Macka paused and repeated: "She is a brave witch."

"Oh...Little Zoe..." The old lady closed her eyes as she listened, as if she had seen that scene in her mind, and there was a little tear in the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes.

"She... what truth did she tell you?" Scamander said sadly, "I think we must also know, because it is the child's last words, isn't it?"

But Maca shook his head regretfully.

"She couldn't say it all," Maca sighed. "Just as the truth was about to blurt out, Greenward's will took over the body of the dark wizard and dispelled the magical image of the replay curse. And after that, he exploded and shattered the body of the dark wizard with his wand."

"...This is terrible."

McGonagall and the other professors present were a little frightened, after all, it was Greenward.The series of horror acts that spread across the European magic world were deeply imprinted in the hearts of the old wizards.

Just as modern wizards feared Voldemort, which old wizard of their generation didn't grow up following Greenward's wicked name?

"No wonder, it turned out to be like this..." Scamander said solemnly, "I know some people from the Magical Congress of the United States. I went there to claim little Zoe before... Well... I heard someone discussing there at the time. The situation in the manor said that there was a stone room in the basement that was soaked in flesh and blood..."

"Yes!" Maca nodded. "I received a warning from Hogwarts. Otherwise, I might be able to stay there and hand over with the American Auror."

Of course he had to say so, although he would not stay in the manor anyway.Negotiating with the Auror in that situation would definitely take a lot of time, and he would not waste his energy on things that made no sense to him.

"Your judgment is correct. As in the current situation, Hogwarts can't have an accident." The old Mr. Scamander said, and looked around the auditorium again, a little nostalgic. "This school is for the entire UK The magical world... and even the whole European magical world is of great significance. Especially after the teacher leaves, the safety here may even be linked to the safety of the magical world."

He was also a student of Hogwarts, and he was a Hufflepuff like Maca.When he was studying at school, Dumbledore was just a professor of transformation at Hogwarts.

Coincidentally, he and Maca have one thing in common, that is, neither of them successfully graduated at Hogwarts.But for their young and old, Hogwarts is still their most unforgettable alma mater.

There are many more students like Maca and Mr. Scamander at Hogwarts.It can be said that the wizards trained in this school are truly all over Europe.

If one day this school collapses for some reason, the people and things involved in it are unimaginable.

"Child, you have done too much for Hogwarts," Scamander turned his head and stretched out his hand to press Maca's shoulder. "This time, I'm not only for Zoe's business. Since Xiao Zuo. Yi can also work hard for the future of the magic world, and I, Newt Scamander, will naturally not fall behind."

"Father, you are at this age--" the middle-aged man, the son of Mr. Scamander, dissuaded him.

"Then you come?" Scamander looked at him and asked.

"I--"

"You can't." Old Mr. Scamander interrupted without hesitation. "You still have your wife and my underage grandson. What you have to do is take care of them-but I can."

He paused, took out his spell from his arms, looked at it and said with emotion: "Professor Dumbledore helped me keep this wand. If there was no Professor Dumbledore, I was leaving Hogwar. When I’m here, I can’t keep the wand. Without it, where would I be? Where would I be?"

In the tense situation at the time, the European continent still implemented a magic wand permit issuance system.But that is to say, for this measure, the implementation of the British Ministry of Magic is not as strong as the US Magic Congress.

Of course, without a license in hand, it is for sure to act the same.

"...After Mr. McLean describes the situation at the time, you can go and rest! Tomorrow you will take your Aunt Queenie home and find a way to contact your cousin and the couple." Scamander The old man said in a loud voice, "I will stay here, not going anywhere." For mobile phone users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
