Chapter 16 Dumbledore's Old Friend
Chapter 16 Dumbledore's Old Friend
His own pet was actually threatening the little wizard and even trying to extort protection money?
Just as Tina's brows were about to furrow, a Niffler suddenly climbed up the little wizard's robe, then faced the three cat-like creatures, chirped a few times, took out two Galleons from its pocket, and handed them to the little wizard.
The little wizard put down the Galleons, picked up the Niffler, and said with a gentle smile, "Thank you very much, but I can't accept this money."
Owen put the Galleons back into the Niffler's pocket, then patted its head and said, "I'll be rich. Mr. Dumbledore said that my notes on the history of magic have been published and will be used as supplementary teaching materials. It's just that I've been away studying, so I don't know how much I've earned."
At this point, the little wizard hugged the three cats and civets to his chest, touching their noses one by one with his hand: "Your behavior is wrong. Threats are not the right way to gain benefits. I believe that genuine communication, and the gifts we give each other after becoming friends, are the sweetest."
"Meow..."
The little wizard's smile widened even more: "It's a pleasure to meet you all, Hopi, Millie, Moller, you are all good children."
Letting the three cats and raccoons cuddle and cuddle him, Owen looked up at Tina and smiled, "You're right, they all like me very much."
Tina suddenly laughed. What an interesting little wizard!
Newt returned the next morning, but instead of resting, he interrupted the young wizard who was studying: "I found Jona a boyfriend, but Jona doesn't seem satisfied. Can you come with me to see him?"
"Of course, sir."
"Snapped!"
A loud bang echoed through the air, and an old man and a young man made a dazzling entrance.
Now that Irving is immune to the dizziness caused by teleportation, he saw Jona resting in a tree the moment he appeared, while another leopard cat was hiding in another tree. It was very cautious, wanting to leave but reluctant to go.
"call out!"
Jona also spotted the little wizard, who appeared beside Owen as if by teleportation, and then began an endless barrage of complaints.
The little wizard listened to it with a smile, then glanced at the young male leopard cat that had already climbed down from the tree and waved to it.
The male leopard cat also came over, but it was a little shy and spoke haltingly. It wasn't until a while later that Owen realized it was stuttering.
The little wizard sat between the two leopard cats and began to try to tell them what love was.
One dares to speak, and three dare to listen!
Jona eventually accepted her boyfriend. The two leopard cats led each other into the forest, while the little wizard and Newt went into the suitcase, which contained a great many magical creatures!
Moreover, all these magical creatures, big and small, trust Newt implicitly and are willing to be close to him, but now there's also a little wizard...
"So it turns out that it's not just animal babies that are loved, but human babies too..."
Watching the little wizard being pushed to the ground by the magical creatures and having his face distorted by their sucking, Newt sighed and smiled. He wasn't disappointed at all; on the contrary, he was very happy because what he had always been pursuing was the harmonious coexistence of animals and humans.
Before, it was just me.
Now, there's another little wizard.
Will this situation become the norm in the future? Will the living environment of magical creatures improve significantly then?
What makes a master a master is not just wisdom, knowledge, and ability, but most importantly, a broad mind!
There were no magic spells or tricks, but in these three months, Irving learned a lot. No matter how many books you read, there will always be things you don't understand. But after putting it into practice, everything that he didn't understand before became clear.
Three months is a short time, but it allowed the young wizard to forge a deep friendship with Newt's family and the magical creatures in the suitcase.
Dumbledore arrived and handed the young wizard a bag. Owen pulled out a handful of Galleons from it, but Niffler refused them. Instead, it took out a lot of things from the bag, wanting to give them to the young wizard.
What a magical scene, what a heartwarming scene!
Finally, the young wizard exchanged gifts with the Niffler using Galleons, promising to visit it and everyone else when he had time, before leaving with Dumbledore.
This time, I went to the home of another old friend.
If Grindelwald's house has a prison vibe and Newt's has a home vibe, then this place is pure tech vibes.
Of course, it's the technological style of the magical world: alchemy style!
"My dear, I've heard Dumbledore talk about you before. We've finally met."
The old wizard, so thin he was almost unrecognizable, simply patted the young wizard on the shoulder, and Owen heard at least three cracking sounds.
"Bone and flesh rehabilitation".
Owen used a little spell he had developed, and the old wizard's fractured bone healed. The wizard was quite surprised: "Oh, what kind of magic is this?"
Dumbledore was also quite surprised. He looked at the young wizard and said, "Mr. Owen, this is...?"
Owen sighed, somewhat embarrassed: "Originally, I wanted to try to figure out if I could develop a counter-curse for the Cruciatus Curse, but unfortunately I failed. The magic's effects are not strong, and it can only be used for simple healing."
"That's amazing..."
The old wizard winked at Owen: "This magic is exactly what I need. So, tell me, what will you give me in exchange?"
The young wizard paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Magic is meant to serve people. If you need it, just take it. I'll be happy if it helps you."
Whether it's politeness or sincerity, the centuries-old wizard doesn't need to use Legilimency to see it clearly; life, in fact, is also a kind of magic.
The old wizard was delighted and decided to show off his skills to the young wizard, but he soon discovered that the young wizard was actually proficient in ancient runes.
"No, sir, I am not an expert. I have only memorized them by rote. I still need a long time to learn how to combine them better."
The old wizard was overjoyed. Alchemy was a branch of magic that required constant learning, and the studious young wizard was perfect for learning it.
While the young wizard was happily absorbing new knowledge, a meeting was also taking place in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts. The topic of the meeting was Owen's upcoming schedule.
"What? Isn't learning from the first Dark Lord, the Master of Fantastic Beasts, and the legendary alchemist enough?"
Snape's face was grim. He thought Dumbledore was wasting his time. He should have kept the young wizards in the castle and carefully trained them. In a few years, a new Potions Master would have emerged. But now? They've all learned a mixed bag!
"Dumbledore, do they... have any good ideas for Irving?"
Professor McGonagall was relatively calmer. She knew that Dumbledore had taken the young wizard away to address the problem of his magic increasing too rapidly.
"Nico already has a solution."
Dumbledore smiled. "So Irving will have to study there for a while longer, and next year he'll be able to enroll normally."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the office breathed a sigh of relief, but they quickly cheered up again, because if a young wizard were to enroll normally, they would no longer be able to rotate through the four houses, but would instead be assigned to a fixed house.
"Dumbledore..."
Snape spoke first: "I think the best house for him to be sorted is..."
"Gryffindor!"
Professor McGonagall asserted once again: "Only Gryffindor is the right fit for him!"
"Ravenclaw is the one!"
"Hufflepuff is it!"
