Newt Scamander is recognized by the wizarding community as the Master of Fantastic Beasts.
At the same time, he is also the only wizard so far who has been awarded the Second Order of Merlin for his academic field of magical animals.
The first-level Order of Merlin usually targets big figures with magical achievements and important political status. It is roughly similar to the Nobel Peace Prize or the "Venus Medal" of the former Soviet Union. There are many great people among them, but there are also many
Politicians and wealthy people mixed in...
The third-level medal is for individuals who have contributed to the entertainment industry and knowledge reserves.
In Elena's view, the upper limit is roughly equivalent to the Oscar Lifetime Award or the Nobel Prize for Literature, while the lower limit is at least equivalent to entertainment awards such as the Top 100 Up Masters in later generations, such as those held by Gilderoy Lockhart.
An Order of Merlin, 3rd Class.
However, the distribution of the three medals of Sir Merlin is like an hourglass.
Compared with first- and third-level medals, the number of second-level medals issued is significantly less.
Because of this, if we talk about the average gold content, the Order of Merlin Level 2 Medal is undoubtedly the heaviest one.
The conditions for obtaining this medal are very simple: breakthrough academic discovery, or...becoming the recognized first person in a certain field of this era.
The former is easier to understand. Now Damocles, one of the potions professors at Hogwarts, has won a second-level medal for the invention of "Wolfsbane Potion". And if Professor McGonagall's theory is finally verified successfully,
Not surprisingly, she can also get a medal.
But the field of magical zoology is completely different from the previous two. There is only one way for Newt to obtain the medal.
Before this, Elena didn't understand the huge difference between the two.
However, during tonight's discussion of the "Initial Elf Plan", she clearly felt Newt's strength.
In just ten minutes, Newt put forward at least twenty or thirty kinds of magical animal options that fully met her various strange requirements without thinking, and he could also analyze their use according to different situations.
Problems that may arise when we are together, this kind of high-intensity professional confrontation, indeed exposed her age disadvantage, so that in the end the dominance fell into the hands of Freckles.
"...Well, after this discussion, we will finally decide on these four magical animals, right?"
Newt cleared his throat, looked at the girl not far away who had given in for the first time, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he was far from as relaxed as he appeared.
Whether it is the Motla Rat, Ball Escaper, Vixen, and Billywig, which are low-risk but full of uncertain traps, or are slightly less popular such as Thestral, Iseron, and Glaling.
Medium-sized creatures, there are often small thoughts hidden in Elena's suggestions.
However, since all of Elena's knowledge reserves, or "weapons", all come from "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
After he accidentally admitted that he had made a mistake at a certain point in the book, he unexpectedly ended Elena's subsequent offensive.
"Well, it perfectly corresponds to the four houses of Hogwarts. I don't think there is any controversy."
Elena shrugged, raised her head and looked at the four blurry shadows in the air.
For top wizards like Newt, the principle of "binary rewind structure transformation magic" is not complicated. After a little thought, they can also form similar sound and shadow effects with their respective profound magic background. This is this paragraph
It has become normal for them to communicate over time.
Obviously, the effect of this kind of graphic explanation generated out of thin air is more than ten times more intuitive than a simple verbal description.
This is the "initial familiar" option that Newt finally gave after taking into account Elena's various difficulties.
In addition to the Niffler, which Elena is already familiar with, several other magical creatures also meet the standards of the initial elves.
For example, the Extreme Ice Viper is an ultra-small magical viper. Compared with its relatives in the non-magical world, it has extraordinary cold resistance. On the other hand, although its toxicity is highly venomous,
One, but the time from attack to death is as long as six to seven hours, which is a fairly safe range in Hogwarts. Even the poisonous tentacles are more toxic than it.
The blue-winged raven is a magical subspecies of raven in the magical world. It is not very aggressive, but it has one characteristic: it is one of the few small creatures that can learn human language. Adult blue-winged raven
The intelligence of crows is at least equivalent to that of a twelve or thirteen year old child.
Many alchemy masters often like to keep a blue-feathered raven as an assistant, responsible for handling some trivial interactions in daily life.
As for the origins and restrictions of the Madago cat, it is more important. It exists as an animal guard in the French Ministry of Magic.
Although a single body may not be as big as Mrs. Norris, once they enter the adult body, they can divide independently when attacked, and the number of divisions depends on the magic area it guards, its own magic power, and
The blessing effect given to it by its owner.
Generally speaking, these are all small-sized and easy-to-like demon pets.
"But, Professor Scamander, do you really not consider the additional suggestions I mentioned?"
After Elena thought for half a second, she raised her head and looked at Newt expectantly, making one last attempt.
"These are elementary magical animals. If we plan to build a complete system, then we'd better build some advanced frameworks from the beginning? For example, how many runes should be raised in Slytherin?
Snakes, I raise a few birds and snakes in Ravenclaw. As for Hufflepuff House, I am a little hesitant to choose Manticore. As for Gryffindor House..."
"A gryphon or a hippogriff? Why don't you just raise a litter of Zuowu?"
Newt Scamander twitched the corners of his mouth and said angrily.
He originally thought that he was crazy in the field of magical animals, but compared to Elena, he was still too cautious and restrained. If it weren't for the fact that there was only one phoenix, Newt suspected that Eileen
Na even wants to popularize Phoenix on a large scale in schools.
As for the "Fire Dragon Sanctuary Relocation Plan", "Three-Headed Dog Rescue Plan", "Basilisk Breeding Base"...
In Elena's mind, it seems that the concept of raising a fire dragon is the same as raising a salamander.
"Zouwu? Is it really possible? That is of course the best!"
Elena's eyes suddenly lit up, and she climbed up the pole without hesitation and said.
"Of course not! Well, at least not yet."
Newt quickly dismissed Elena's unrealistic thoughts, coughed lightly, and tried to bring the topic back to the topic.
"Well, where did we just talk? Now that the initial magical creature has been determined, what are your previous plans for the subsequent cultivation and adoption process, and the future... Well, what is the promotion plan, etc.
Don’t neglect it.”
As the president of the Society of Magical Creatures, the Society for the Protection of Magical Creatures, and other associations, he also began to get used to some of Elena's remarks.
If Elena was considered Party A just now, then from now on, the status and positions of the two have been reversed.
"It's very simple. Focus on cultivating them in Helga's Dungeon. This is the best choice at the moment."
Elena said unhurriedly, pointing towards the vast underground world around her.
"On the other hand, the teachers and students of Hogwarts can also participate in the process of caring for, observing, and nurturing these little lives. I think witnessing the birth of life with your own eyes is a very good way of education. Unfortunately, we have not done so before.
There are not many opportunities. Of course, this is just an additional teaching benefit. In the exploratory stage, a series of conditions will be temporarily attached to select the most suitable young wizards."
"Additional conditions?" Newt raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"Well, it can be roughly divided into three aspects."
Elena nodded, raised three fingers, and explained seriously.
"The first is the hard indicator of knowledge. This is based on the results of the Care of Magical Creatures class. In the future, it may be adjusted to a qualification certificate in the domestication of magical animals. This will at least ensure that the 'selected children' have the most basic knowledge of magical animals.
related information."
"The next step is the activity indicator. You should have noticed that Hogwarts will implement the credit system starting from this semester."
"Various in-school competitions and results, as well as daily overall performance, can be turned into numerical standards for reference, and students can also use these scores to redeem the rewards they want, including the 'Initial Magic'
There is no happiness and preciousness in the harvest without hard work. You don’t want the little wizards to treat those magical animals casually, right?”
"Exchange...'qualification assessment'?" Newt nodded thoughtfully, "So, the third aspect is the 'assessment'?"
"That's right, we won't have too many 'initial familiars' at the beginning. This is partly for tracking purposes, and partly to create a hungry marketing environment. Perhaps in the future this project will be gradually opened to all magic families.
Even ten-year-old wizards who are about to enter school are eligible to receive it in advance, but that is obviously not possible now. It is still in the period of experimentation and publicity..."
In Elena's expectation, in the future magical world, magical beast masters like Newt will become common.
Traceless extension spells, small-scale weather spells, and micro-ecosystem stability, these magics have been around for a long time.
If alchemy can break through technical barriers and have the opportunity to streamline the production of a "simplified version of Scamander's suitcase", it will be another revolution that completely subverts the world of wizards and magical creatures. The glory of magic in ancient times may be
Return to this world in a new form.
Even then, the boundary between the magical and non-magical worlds wasn't that important.
For example, when she encountered Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest last semester, Elena relied on the three-headed dog Lu Mei to almost complete the counterattack.
However, in this era, no one except Elena can clearly imagine the new world in Elena's mind.
Maybe Luna, Hannah, Hermione and others will understand, and Newt Scamander, who watched more than a dozen episodes of "Unprinted Silly Things" during the summer, may also be able to roughly guess part of it, but they
The form in my mind is still too simple. You must know that the ways to summon magic servants are not just red and white balls, cards, magic circles... The Muggle world of the future offers too many interesting paths.
"Triple screening? It sounds pretty rigorous."
Newt Scamander pondered for a while, his expression gradually softened, and he nodded slightly.
"However, this also means that the content of the Care of Magical Creatures course will be increased, and the difficulty of this course will increase a lot."
"No, this means that the Care of Magical Creatures course as an elective course will most likely be cancelled."
Elena shook her head, appreciating Old Freckles' stunned expression for a second with satisfaction, then raised her finger and continued.
"Obviously, the course of Magical Zoology is eligible to be upgraded to a compulsory course. The content we teach and learn in this course may no longer be limited to how to recognize and protect them, but include how to cultivate, defend, and fight.
Communication...and other comprehensive fields."
"Just like Charms, Potions, and Herbalism, Magical Zoology is an extremely important aspect of magical civilization."
Elena's blue eyes looked directly at Newt, her expression gradually became serious, and she said in a deep voice.
"Professor Scamander, if it is just to supplement the teaching of magical creature protection, there is no need for top scholars like you to return to the school to teach. Whether it is Mr. Hagrid, Professor Byrne, or Professor Glallamp, they can all
They are qualified for the original educational work but they are unable to support the reshaping of a field. The establishment of a sect of the magical zoology system can only be completed by you yourself."
"It seems that I can't retire in the short term?"
Newt shrugged helplessly, chuckled with a complicated expression and sighed.
This is simply an invitation from the devil. He clearly knows that there is a trap in it. Even if he may burn out the rest of his time at Hogwarts, facing the future described by Eileen, he still has no room to refuse. This is nothing compared to what he did back then.
Grindelwald is much more powerful.
If it weren't for the fact that he still believed in Dumbledore, Newt even thought that Elena was trained by Grindelwald to take revenge on him.
After all, this little witch...
"But I still have a little question. If you could answer me, I would be very grateful."
Newt paused for a few seconds, looked at Elena meaningfully, and asked softly.
"Gringotts' acquisition of dwarf pig monsters should have ended a few months ago. Why did I hear from Horns and others last week that there were new orders on the market? Regarding these things, Gringotts
