Chapter 336 Same behavior, different results
Newt looked at Kyle, but said nothing.
He didn't reject himself having an assistant, it was just that he didn't want to be old.
It's just an assistant, and it's not like I haven't had one before, so there's nothing to reject.
And if you think about it carefully, house elves are easier to get along with, at least they are very simple-minded, work carefully, and almost never make mistakes.
Newt had accepted this fact when Tina and Dobby were negotiating wages.
He watches Kyle for another reason.
"Dumbledore sent your box a week ago." Newt said with a complicated expression, "To be honest, I kind of regret giving it to you."
It was a good year when Kyle first entered school. Although there was a black wizard Oren, it could only be said to be an internal problem in the school. On the day the matter was resolved, life returned to peace.
However, since he gave the box to Kyle the following year, everything changed.
Before the end of that year, he saw giant monsters, three-headed dogs, Norwegian Ridgebacks in Kyle's box... Among them, he helped take care of the giant monsters and dragons for a while.
That was also the first time Newt felt intuitively how rich the species in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts are... There are even three-headed dogs, which are rare in Greece, and even he has only seen such creatures. Only twice.
Originally, Newt thought this was the limit.
After all, both the Norwegian Ridgeback and the Three-Headed Dog belong to the 5X level of magical animals, and it is impossible to find more dangerous species than them in the Forbidden Forest.
As a result, Newt never expected that there is actually a secret room in Hogwarts Castle.
Kyle not only found it, but also brought back the basilisk that had existed for more than 1000 years.
After seeing the letter Dumbledore wrote to him and the huge dark green monster in the box, the Newts were numb.
1000 years of basilisks... just outrageous to think about.
Facing Newt's strange gaze, Kyle scratched his hair in embarrassment, "It's just a coincidence, Mr. Salazar Slytherin insisted on giving it to me, and I couldn't refuse it."
"Given it to you by Slytherin?" Newt blinked suspiciously, this was not in Dumbledore's letter to him.
"But how did I hear that the Chamber of Secrets is reserved for the heir of Slytherin?"
"Maybe I am..." Kyle thought for a while and said, "After all, my mother graduated from Slytherin."
"..."
Newt stares at Kyle without saying a word, like it's the first day he's known him.
Good guy, it's really hard to climb the relationship, right?
Newt, who felt that he couldn't continue the conversation, shook his head, and while Tina and Dobby left the box, he led Kyle to a hill.
"Dumbledore asked me to help the basilisk find a new home."
Newt waved his wand, and the plants at the bottom of the hill automatically moved to the sides, revealing a huge cave.
The basilisk was lying quietly inside, motionless.
"I know, he doesn't want the basilisk to appear in the castle in any form." Kyle stepped forward and touched the scales of the basilisk. "It may stay with you for a while before I graduate."
"Even after you graduate."
Newt smiled and said, "I've never touched a live basilisk before, so this is a good chance. Are you sure it won't wake up?"
"No." Kyle shook his head, "If no one summons it with Parseltongue, it can sleep like this forever."
Newt took out his wand and tapped it lightly on the basilisk.
An orange ball of light jumped twice and quickly dissipated.
"It's amazing." Newt said with great interest, "Such a huge body consumes less energy than a Bowtruckle after sleeping... Is it the Basilisk's own ability? Or is it because of Salazar Slytherin?"
"It should be because of Slytherin." Kyle said uncertainly, "He taught me how to put the basilisk to sleep."
"My thoughts are exactly the opposite of yours..."
Newt studied the basilisk's scales carefully.
"30 years ago, when I was in the pyramid, I stumbled upon a dead basilisk, and I remember that there were eight fine lines on its scales.
And the one you brought has ten lines. "
Newt stood up and started pacing on the spot, while whispering: "These fine lines may represent their age, and there will be more lines every hundred years... If this is the case, then the basilisk should be 800 years old. .
It didn't have the help of Salazar Slytherin, but it still lived that long. "
After turning around a few times, Newt took out another bottle of unknown potion and poured it on the basilisk.
The gray potion was sticky, and soon began to congeal, turning into a thin, snake-slough-like thing.
Newt peeled it off, and Kyle noticed that the fine lines of the basilisk's scales were clearly printed on it.
Afterwards, the two left the cave, and the surrounding plants gathered together again, covering the entrance of the cave.
"Originally, I planned to release the new version of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" next year, but now it seems that this time should be much earlier."
"Oh, yes, I'll give you this back."
After hesitating for a while, Newt took out a box and handed it over.
It was sent by Dumbledore, Kyle's box. Newt has kept it here since he transferred the basilisk inside, and it's time to return it to him.
Although this box had already brought him two surprises... or frightened him, in his opinion, it shouldn't be like this in the future.
There won't be another Gryffindor Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts.
After all, there are only a few kinds of magical animals that can live for hundreds of thousands of years, and there are no lions among them... Of course, there are no eagles or badgers.
Moreover, after experiencing the basilisk, Newt's ability to accept has also improved a lot. Even if Kyle brings back a 5X magical animal... such as a five-legged monster or an acromantula, he will not How surprised it would be.
Even silently... well, let's forget about this stuff.
"I've already fed Norbert for you."
"And I dare say, Dumbledore must have never opened it."
Kyle nodded, that's for sure.
Dumbledore is so preoccupied with other things now that he doesn't have time to take care of the box.
In the last month, he only showed up at the year-end banquet a week ago, and he was hardly at school at other times.
Watching Kyle take over the box, Newt looked a little complicated.
I think he and his friends were expelled because they raised ferrets in the castle.
And look at Kyle, raising a giant monster, raising a fire dragon, raising a basilisk... any one of them is more dangerous than a mink, right?
As a result, not only was he not expelled, but he also became the first outstanding student to win Hogwarts' Special Contribution Award to the school for three consecutive years.
This contrast is too great.
