Newt Scamander's house, living room.
As soon as Elena and the three walked down the stairs, they smelled an alluring aroma.
While the girls were taking a shower and playing around in the bathroom, Tina Scamander, who returned to the living room, had already prepared dinner for that night. The clean and tidy dining table was already filled with steaming dishes of all kinds.
Dishes.
"Wow, it smells so good... Are the pan-fried chicken nuggets for dinner today?"
Elena twitched her nose slightly, walked to the dining table in surprise, grabbed a piece of chicken that was fried golden on both sides, threw it into her mouth, and chewed it quickly. The little hair on her head seemed to come alive.
, shaking happily.
Compared to playing Quidditch, taking a shower takes even more energy.
Ever since Hannah mastered the "second level" method of opening the healing magic text, the amount of energy Elena needs to expend every time she takes a bath has more than doubled - even though they rarely use magic words in the bathroom.
However, with the number of times the two of them used magic words on a daily basis, their physical strength was much higher than in the past.
At this time, tender chicken pieces dripping with golden fat are undoubtedly the most suitable holy food to supplement protein consumption.
"Mrs. Scamander, leave it to me tomorrow. I am very experienced in cooking chicken... let alone ten days and a half, even if the time is extended to two or three months, I can cook it every day."
Different chicken dishes come out.”
"Don't grab it with your hands, be careful of burning it! There are knives and forks on the table. You are too tired from training at ordinary times. Let's wait until the weekend to cook."
Tina Scamander smiled, pointed to the tableware placed on the side of the table, and said in a soft voice.
"Besides, you are not familiar with the environment around here. Whether it is buying food or preparing seasonings, it is a troublesome task. If you are really interested in cooking, I will accompany you after training this Friday.
Go buy ingredients."
"Okay! Okay! Then we'll make it a deal."
Elena chewed the fragrant and tender fried chicken in her mouth, narrowed her eyes happily, and said proudly.
"Don't worry, as long as you and Mr. Scamander try my craft once, you will never forget it again - I don't know if you have subscribed to "Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue".
I can cook all the dishes above! Even many new dishes and cooking methods of ingredients are all my own creations."
"Ah."
Sitting at the end of the dining table, Newt Scamander's cheeks twitched and he made a strange purring sound in his throat.
It was okay not to mention this matter. As soon as he heard this, the news that Albus Dumbledore told him not long ago came to his mind subconsciously, the so-called true identity of the [Hogwarts Jungle Soft-shell Crab]
what exactly is it.
As a master of magical animals, Newt especially hated his rich knowledge reserve and imagination at this time.
If the Acromantula can be served as crab legs after changing its name, then maybe the other dishes in that magazine with the names of ordinary creatures also have ingredients from magical animals that are mixed with similar situations.
"Mr. Scamander, what were you talking about just now?"
Elena raised her head keenly, cast her eyes towards Freckles sitting on the other side of the dining table, and asked curiously.
"By the way, speaking of... Did Professor Dumbledore come again this afternoon?"
Regarding the matter of braised food, she had not yet found a suitable starting point for questioning, so she could only try to make some insinuations.
However, the only thing that is certain is that there must be Albus Dumbledore's plan behind the whole incident, otherwise it would be impossible for Xiaolu Wei to cross such a long distance and appear here from Hogwarts Castle.
And with the sudden arrival of braised food, the whole summer tutoring has undoubtedly become interesting.
You know, if Dumbledore is completely biased towards Newt Scamander, no matter how you think about it, there is no reason to release the three-headed hell dog to its little master, unless... Grandpa takes action to reduce the difficulty of the level.
Well.
If this is the case, then there seems to be a possibility that Newt Scamander could be instigated by her to rebel?
There is no eternal alliance in this world.
Only a fool of chaotic justice would label everyone, and then kill (or be beaten to death) all the beings labeled as bad guys, and unite all the forces that can be united. This is what a qualified demon king should have
quality.
Generally speaking, people who have high power, prestige, sense of justice, and self-belief, when they are deceived and betrayed by people in their own camp, are more likely to fall into corruption than ordinary secular people.
The phenomenon of evil - that is, the legendary "evil fall", "dark fall" and other situations where one's own camp changes.
Although this may be difficult for Newt, who is over ninety years old, it is still worth trying after all.
Faced with Elena's curiosity, Newt, who was slicing a piece of bread, hesitated slightly. He immediately put down the knife and fork in his hand, raised his head and looked at the little mixed-race Veela sitting opposite him, and nodded, generously.
replied:
"Well, there is such a thing, but this time it is not about you... For some reasons, Professor Dumbledore asked me to temporarily help him take care of a rare magical animal. When dinner is over, I will take you there
Look at it and, of course, the little ones in the underground zoo."
After a slight pause, Newt Scamander coughed slightly, then moved his eyes to his dinner plate and continued.
"But you should be careful, it is not completely tamed yet. So you must not go to the underground area alone without my company. It is still dangerous before you understand the habits of magical animals and form a bond with them."
"Okay, I get it."
Elena blinked happily and also lowered her head to look at the plate in front of her.
But unlike Newt Scamander, she was trying to avoid the inexorable curling of the corners of her mouth from arousing the vigilance of a certain master of magical beasts in advance - surprises can only be saved at the moment when the gift is opened.
Seems precious.
What a harmonious and warm scene...
Tina Scamander looked at Elena and then at her husband beside her, her face became softer.
Ever since the children grew up and started a family, Newt rarely spoke so much to strangers. Now, in Tina's mind, this situation can be regarded as a very rare "talkative" mode, which is undoubtedly
Make her very happy.
Maybe in a few days, you can try to write a letter to ask your son and his family to come back and sit down.
If Tina remembers correctly, her little grandson should have reached the age to go to magic school this year. If nothing else, he should have received the admission notice to Hogwarts, just in time to get to know his classmates in advance.
.
Of course, it would be great if we could eventually develop into good friends in school...
According to her observations this day, these three little girls are quite outstanding in all aspects.
As she gets older, Tina does not intend to let her grandson learn from her father this time and wait until she is very old before she starts to get married, have children, start a family and start a business - she and Newt still hope to have a baby as soon as possible.
Where is the great-grandson?
………
Dinner didn't last long.
"Okay, okay, let me handle this."
Watching the last piece of bread being wiped out on the table, Tina Scamander stood up for the first time, put on the apron that was hung behind her husband's chair, and began to clean up the dishes and the messy kitchen, while whispering.
"Newt, take the children to visit down there... Remember to protect their safety. If the big guy sent by Professor Dumbledore is in danger, I suggest you not to be too careless - you
He’s not too young anymore.”
"Don't worry, this is a field I have studied all my life, and I have my own sense of proportion in everything."
Newt Scamander shrugged disapprovingly, a rare look of pride flashing across his face.
"As long as I'm here, even if we face a group of violent Hebridean Islands black dragons, I can still protect the children. Not to mention, most of the animals they are about to come into contact with are interesting and intelligent magical animals.
They."
After an afternoon of running-in and communication, Newt was not worried at all that the three-headed hellhound would lose control.
However, in order to frighten the restless little guys during this period, Newt planned to perform a play with the smart three-headed dog first, and scare them when they met for the first time.
Knowing that there is a "vicious dog" blocking the way here also eliminates the idea that they might sneak into the underground animal area for some time in the future.
According to his observations, the intelligence of this magical three-headed dog is almost close to the level of a normal eleven or twelve-year-old child. In other words, it may even be better than some first- and second-year wizards at Hogwarts.
Be smarter.
At least in terms of acting skills and understanding human language, it has amazing talents.
…………
After a few minutes.
Under the leadership of Newt, they walked through the living room and came to an ordinary birch door. If it weren't for the magic ripples that flashed on the door from time to time, Elena even doubted whether the door led to the second bedroom.
Or storage room.
"This is it. Children, stop first and be careful to stand behind me..."
Newt Scamander stopped, clapped his hands solemnly, and said seriously.
"The place I am about to take you to is an underground animal area that I have slowly built over the years to provide shelter, breeding, and medical treatment for those rare and magical animals. I hope you can listen to my instructions and never run around.
."
"Especially when entering the animal area, you must stay calm and don't panic."
"This afternoon, Professor Dumbledore just sent over an extremely mysterious and dangerous magical creature. Its rarity is not even recorded in detail in my "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" series of books..."
"Therefore," Newt Scamander lowered his voice, "I must ask you not to scream, as that might irritate it."
Hannah Abbott held her breath nervously and nodded seriously.
A little behind her, Elena and Luna exchanged a look. The expressions on both of their faces were a little strange at this time - Elena sensed it through the magic contract, while Luna sensed it directly.
I guessed it through an "inspiration".
Although they have worked very hard to perform "nervous emotions", when they think of the guy behind the door, it is really difficult for Elena and Luna to act realistically like Hannah Tiehanhan Aibo.
nervous and serious emotions.
At this moment, Newt Scamander pulled out his wand and carefully pushed open the door.
"Ouch!"
"Woof! Woof!"
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
The next second, accompanied by a growling sound that gradually became strange, the huge black figure behind the door suddenly jumped up, shook its head, jumped into the air, and rushed towards Newt and his group impatiently.
"Oops! Back off! Back off quickly! There are many obstacles!"
Newt's face changed instantly, and he quickly waved the wand in his hand.
However, before Newt's spell could take effect on the "crazy" three-headed dog, Hannah Abbott's voice full of surprise suddenly came to his ears - "Luwei?! Why are you here?"
here."
Hannah's eyes lit up, she walked forward quickly and skillfully hugged the three-headed dog that quickly shrank into the form of a puppy.
Newt Scamander:???
"Lu Wei, you have gained weight again! This is not good, you need to exercise more!"
Luna Lovegood passed a certain petrified wizard, stepped forward and rubbed the puppy's belly.
Newt Scamander:??!
"Mr. Newt, you are such a good person, you actually took Xiaolu Mei over to accompany me..."
Elena stretched out her fingers and casually teased the three-headed hell dog, which was a huge and ferocious war beast just a few seconds ago. She allowed the three heads of the little puppy to lick her hand in turn for instructions.
OK, smile and turn your head.
"This, this three-headed dog..." Newt said intermittently, as if he had been cast a tongue-stuck spell.
"That's right, this big dog was given to me as a gift by grandpa. Do you have any questions..."
Elena raised her eyebrows and showed a cute smile.
"Didn't Professor Dumbledore tell you before? Mr. Scamander."
