Chapter 465 Newt Scamander

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Maca came out of the Pig's Head Bar, and I was still thinking about whether I should go to the Burrow or Lovegood's house. But obviously, he didn't have to worry about it anymore, because his owl Mafa sent him a note.

It was a note signed by Minerva McGonagall, and the content on it was very simple - Mr. Newt Scamander had just arrived at Hogwarts and wanted to meet him immediately.

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

Okay! He nodded slightly and said, I hope the wording of my letter is indeed tactful enough...

Maca doesn't know much about the famous magibiologist Newt Scamander. All he knew was that the old gentleman was a complete workaholic and loved Fantastic Beasts 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 bit of a loner, he doesn't like to deal with people, but he only loves to take care of his magical animals. As I get older, although it is better than before, it seems that I am still not very good at communication.

Leaving aside his academic ability, he is probably just a lonely little old man, right?

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

Those who stayed in Hogwarts on Christmas Eve were mostly professors, and they seemed to be enjoying the aftertaste of the Christmas Eve dinner in the auditorium. As for the few students who didn't go home, most of them went to Hogsmeade village after dinner.

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

He could see a strange old wizard in casual clothes, sitting beside Professor McGonagall. There are not many people at the dinner party tonight, and eating at a long table will only make people feel empty, so a large round table is set up for dining.

You are Mr. Scamander, right? Maca hurried forward and said apologetically, I couldn't go to your home to inform you personally, please forgive me...

The old gentleman sitting next to Professor McGonagall is a bit thin and doesn't look very tall. The white hair on the head was slightly curled, and it seemed a little messy. It's just that those eyes did not appear cloudy due to the growth of age, and they were still full of the persistence of young people.

Although he is nearly a hundred years old, but looking at his hale and hearty appearance, how can he feel old?

And not far from him, an old lady was sitting there. She looked a bit sad, but a middle-aged man was comforting her softly.

You are McLean, right? Seeing Maca apologizing as soon as he arrived, Scamander stood up neatly, patted his arm and said, It's not your fault, the current situation in the British wizarding world is beyond me. Also clear, I can understand.

Thank you, Maca said regretfully, It's just that I couldn't save your relatives in time.

Scamander shook his head slightly when he heard the words.

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

It's the Obscure. Maca didn't hide anything about this, because he remembered that Scamander knew a lot about the situation of the Obscure.

Yeah! The Obscures... Scamander repeated the word, and the marks on their chests, it's amazing... Did Grinwald appear again? Right after Dumbledore died Soon after?

Greenwald? In America? Professor McGonagall said in surprise.

It's unclear where the first Dark Lord is now,

But those attacks in the United States did have his credit in it. Maca nodded and said, However, that should not be his main action.

McLean, you know? Professor McGonagall asked hurriedly.

Well, Maca nodded again, I've met him a few times, but every time we didn't have direct face-to-face contact - he was very careful. And... it seems that there is another purpose...

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

Father, don't talk about that for now! You should consider 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 realized, and looked at the old lady with a slightly sad look, Queenie, you...

It's all right, I'm all right. The old lady's face was full of wrinkles, Oh... my poor little Zoe...

When the old lady spoke, Maca remembered something.

Ma'am? He said hesitantly, Oh no, I mean, old lady... Did we meet once in Jackson Trade Square?

You are... The old lady thought for a while, it seemed that her memory was not so clear, she nodded slightly after a while, Oh, that child from that night?

In fact, when Maca met her at night, it was good enough for the old man to see his appearance clearly.

I'm really sorry, old lady... Maca bowed slightly to her, About Zoe, I once used the replay spell on the wand that took her life, and because of this, I also had conflicts with Zoe's will. There was a conversation. Although it was only Zoe simulated by the spell, she was indeed very brave, and she did not back down when facing her own death...

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

Maka paused, then repeated again: She is a brave witch.

Oh...Little Zoe... The old lady closed her eyes after hearing this, as if she had seen that scene in her mind, tears leaked from the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

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

But Maca shook her head regretfully.

She couldn't say it all, Maca sighed, at the moment the truth was about to be blurted out, Greenwald's will occupied the body of the dark wizard and dispelled the magical image of the replay spell. Immediately afterwards, he blew up the black wizard's body, including his wand, to pieces.

...that's really scary.

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

Just as modern wizards are afraid of Voldemort, which of the old wizards of their generation didn't grow up listening to Grinwald's infamous reputation?

No wonder, it turned out to be like this... Scamander said seriously, I know some people from the Magical Congress of America. Before I went there to claim little Zoe... Sigh... I heard someone discussing that place The situation in the manor is said to be that there is a stone room in the basement that is completely soaked in blood and flesh...

Yes! Maca nodded, I received a warning from Hogwarts at that time, otherwise, I might have stayed there and handed over to the American Aurors.

Of course he would say so, although he would not have stayed at the manor under any circumstances. Negotiating with Aurors in that situation would definitely take a lot of time, and he wouldn't waste his energy on things that meant nothing to him.

Your judgment is correct. In the current situation, nothing can happen to Hogwarts. Mr. Scamander said, looking around the auditorium again, with some nostalgia, This school is very important to the whole of Britain. The magic world... and even the significance to the entire European magic world is very important. Especially after the teacher leaves, the safety here may even be linked to the safety of the magic world.

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

Coincidentally, he and Maca also have one thing in common, that is, they failed to graduate from Hogwarts smoothly. But for them, young and old, Hogwarts is still their most unforgettable alma mater.

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

If one day, this school collapsed for some reason, the people and things involved would be unimaginable.

Son, you've done too much for Hogwarts, Scamander said, turning his head and putting his hand on Maca's shoulder, This time, I'm not only here for little Zoe. Since little Zoe Yi can also work hard for the future of the wizarding world, and I, Newt Scamander, will naturally not fall behind.

Father, you are so old— the middle-aged man, the son of old Mr. Scamander, dissuaded him.

So you're coming? Scamander asked, looking at him.

I--

You can't, interrupted old Mr. Scamander without hesitation. You have a wife and my teenage grandson, and what you have to do is take care of them—but I can.

He paused, took out his magic spell from his bosom, looked at it and said with emotion: Professor Dumbledore helped me keep this wand, if it wasn't for Professor Dumbledore, I would have been leaving Hogwarts when I left Hogwarts. I cannot keep my wand when I am here. Where would I be without it? Where would I be without you?

Given the tense situation at the time, the Continental Europe still implemented a system for issuing wand licenses. But that being said, regarding this measure, the enforcement of the British Ministry of Magic is not as strong as that of the Magical Congress of the United States.

Of course, without a license in hand, it is certain that the behavior will remain the same.

...After Mr. McLean describes the situation at that time, you can go to rest! Take your Aunt Queenie home tomorrow, and then find a way to contact your cousin and his wife. Scamander The old man said loudly, I'll stay here and I'm not going anywhere. Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
