Chapter 323 Newt’s purpose
Even with Dumbledore's usual calmness, he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Even though the three people in front of him were just one of the family branches, Dumbledore still understood the energy represented by the Potter family - compared with the Holy 28 pure-blood families, they were roughly between the first and second echelons.

The information about the Shadow of the Dragon and the Knights of Walpurgis is one of the most difficult secrets to obtain in the wizarding world.

Even though Dumbledore inherited the academic circle that was the predecessor of the Order of the Phoenix and has been deeply involved in the international layout for many years, he only scratched the surface. So, how did the Potter family, which had lost its main lineage, obtain this top-secret information?

"Albus, it is impossible for me to reveal the source of the information to you," Charlus said slightly, "If you choose not to believe me, there is nothing I can do..." He continued: "However, my request is not Not much, I just ask to meet the boy who survived and let me talk to him... After all, we are his only relatives in the wizarding world, I believe..." Charlus' voice suddenly turned cold. , "As long as no one causes trouble in the middle, he will be willing to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan..."

"Charlus..." Dumbledore smiled bitterly, "You know it's impossible for me to agree..."

"That's your problem," Charlus shrugged. "We can go back home immediately, pack up our things, and move to the North American branch to avoid the limelight... With you as the great mage, the British wizarding world What will happen in the future is none of our Potter family’s business.”

Before Dumbledore could speak, Newt Scamander, who had been watching the show, couldn't help but speak.

"Charlus, Dumbledore has paid so much for the wizarding world. This time he is still fighting for the wizarding world regardless of his own safety. You know who he is, so why are you making things so difficult for him?" Obviously, Newt and Charlus had known each other for a long time, and it was none of his business. He knew that he shouldn't say anything, but seeing Dumbledore in such a predicament, he couldn't help but speak up.

"Tsk tsk..." Charlus was not as polite to Newt as he was to Dumbledore. He said in a somewhat sinister tone: "You know how to play nice... Are you here today just to respond to Dumbledore?" Blido came to save the world? Do you dare to say that you don’t have any other purpose?”

Newt's brows were raised, and he opened his mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly he hesitated as if he remembered something, and his whole old face turned red.

Dumbledore frowned. He knew very well what his best friend was like. Newt was an upright person, and he never liked hypocrisy and intrigue between people, so his behavior was exactly what Charlus said. signs.

"Look, I was right, right?" Charlus said with mockery.

"I...I..." Newt hesitated. He first looked at Dumbledore with eager eyes, which eventually turned into a trace of guilt and lowered his head.

Theseus Scamander, who had been watching the play, sighed, stood up and said: "My brother is not good at words, so let me do it."

"About a month ago, the family issued the highest-level call for the Blue Bird—" Theseus looked at Dumbledore awkwardly, and then carefully weighed his tone and said slowly: "It seems to be because of the family's curved mouth. Qingque sensed that there was someone or something in Hogwarts that could affect the rise and fall of the family, so he sent my two brothers here, but... Albus, you should know that our behavior is related to justice and peace in the wizarding world. , Whether there is this family mission or not, we will come here to assist you. "Oh! Of course I believe you!" Dumbledore said, with no emotion or anger in his voice, and a strange look in his eyes. "But, can you tell me more clearly, what is this Blue Bird summoning order about? What are you looking for in Hogwarts?"

"Uh... this..." This time it was Theseus's turn to be in trouble. He did not dare to reveal the family secrets casually, but he was facing Dumbledore, who was famous for his superb wisdom. He knew very well that if he did not reveal the secrets of his family today, It's hard to get things out of the way by saying it clearly.

"Let me tell you!" Newt looked at Dumbledore apologetically. Dumbledore treated him like a teacher and a friend. Although he was shouldering the mission of the family, he was always lonely and had far less scruples about the family than his brother. As a brother, he didn't want to have any grudge against Dumbledore over this matter.

"As we all know, our Scamander family has inherited the bloodline power of the 'Son of Nature', but in fact, what is less known is that before I was born, several generations had not awakened to this power, so the family thought This bloodline power has long been lost due to the dilution of the bloodline -" he paused before continuing: "And my appearance successfully inspired this power, and fought for the defeat of Grindelwald in the Global Wizarding War. After making a contribution, let the family pay attention to the research on the power of blood again. "

"The so-called Blue Bird summoning order is actually that the Bend-billed Blue Bird raised by the family sensed the appearance of the 'Nature's Son'. According to the Bend-billed Blue Bird's guidance, the wizard who awakened the 'Nature's Son' should be in Hogwart. Now, so the family’s guess is that this wizard should still be a student… so…”

Dumbledore stared at Newt with his sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "So what if we find this student? What are you going to do to my student?"

"Don't get me wrong... Albus, please don't misunderstand..." Newt said nervously: "We have no ill intentions. We will not and cannot do anything to harm students. We just want to see the little wizard. Talk to him..."

"Is it that simple?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows slightly. He couldn't believe that things were so simple.

"Of course, if...I mean if it's possible..." Newt said with some embarrassment: "What the family means...is that we want to absorb such talents into our family...I think...you also know , my grandson Rolf is still in fifth grade at Hogwarts, it seems like a good idea to let them get to know each other...if it's a girl, maybe...ahem."

At this point, Dumbledore fully understood what Newt meant.

He naturally understands Newt's difficulties - although he and Newt are close friends, Newt cannot completely deviate from the family's will. It is really not easy for him to be able to tell him so frankly. .

He sighed inwardly. For a wizard, family represents not only resources, but also shackles and responsibilities.

Dumbledore couldn't help but flash the figure of Schelling in his mind. Maybe the wizarding world really needs a reform? Is it right to let him carry out reforms?

In the sequel to the original novel, Luna eventually marries Rolf Scamander.
