Chapter 284 Newt Scamander

Because Dumbledore had to write to Newt Scamander to confirm when he was free to come, it would take a long time to go back and forth, so Fish could only keep Ouroboros in the Chamber of Secrets, and he and Professor McGonagall went back to Hogsmeade first.

The cat's return to the village was a big deal for the residents of Hogsmeade. Everyone held a welcome party for Fish in the Three Broomsticks... Although Fish's birthday was in a few days, everyone didn't mind having another one.

And those grandmothers, aunts and sisters who hadn't seen Fish for a long time took turns hugging the kitten and kissing and touching it, and didn't want to let go at all.

At first, Fish struggled a few times, but then he simply gave up and let the group of terrible women do whatever they wanted to him...

Anyway, it wasn't the first time. He had already experienced this kind of scene last year, but after a year, the kitten had forgotten it. Now that he had relived it, Fish was already a useless cat...

"Minerva~"

(●QДQ●)

The kitten, who had finally escaped, threw himself into Professor McGonagall's arms and complained angrily, "Why didn't you save Fish just now?!"

It was the same last year. No matter how Fish begged for help, Professor McGonagall was calmly drinking butter beer.

Professor McGonagall patted his little head with a smile and teased, "They are so enthusiastic because they like Fish. Who makes our Fish so lovable?"

"If I had known earlier, Fish would have stayed in Hogwarts and not come back, meow..."

(〃｀3〃)

The kitten pouted and said angrily.

Professor McGonagall gently pinched his cheek and comforted him, "Don't worry, it's just this year. They are a little excited because they haven't seen you for a long time. Next semester, you can come to Hogsmeade on weekends. Then you can meet everyone often and this situation won't happen again."

"Can you come back next semester, meow?"

(●ω●)

Fish's eyes lit up, "Then can I call Wuwu and the others to play at home?"

"No!"

Professor McGonagall's face darkened immediately.

It's already hard enough to have a small cat at home, and a few more magical animals...

I think you want to tire Comey to death!

"Pfft!"

(〃｀3〃)

Just as Fish returned to Hogsmeade and began his simple and boring life of patrolling the territory and collecting offerings every day, the owl sent by Dumbledore also came to Newt Scamander's home in Dorset County.

As a magical biologist, Newt obviously couldn't refuse Dumbledore's invitation...

That's the legendary basilisk!

There has been no record of the basilisk for four hundred years. If he can observe it closely or even study it this time, his 53rd edition of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" can update the content about the basilisk.

So a few days later, Newt Scamander brought his wife Tina and grandson Rolf to Hogsmeade Village.

Because when Dumbledore sent a letter to Newt, he also invited him to attend Fish's birthday party.

It happened that Newt's grandson, who was studying at Ilvermorny School of Magic in the United States, came to England to visit his grandparents during the summer vacation, so Newt brought him along.

As for his son and daughter-in-law, they were left at home by Newt to help take care of the magical animals at home.

As soon as he arrived in Hogsmeade, Newt was a little dazed.

That is, he didn't like to walk around because he was old these years. He had come to Hogsmeade many times before. As far as he could remember, this was the first time he saw such a lively scene.

A group of people were moving things of all sizes with magic, shuttling back and forth on the street. He even saw the Flume couple who ran Honeydukes, with a large cloud of colorful candies and snacks floating above their heads, walking towards the Three Broomsticks with a smile on their faces...

Rolf Scamander was so greedy.

Just as little Rolf wanted to follow the "candy cloud" to the Three Broomsticks, a voice sounded behind them.

"Long time no see, Newt."

"Professor Dumbledore, long time no see."

Newt turned around, gave Dumbledore a big hug, and then introduced the people around him to him.

"My wife Tina, you have already met her."

He pointed to an old woman next to him who had a temperament very similar to Professor McGonagall, a former Auror of the Magical Congress of America, Tina Goldstein, now called Tina Scamander.

Dumbledore nodded at her, "The last time I saw you was twenty-one years ago, Mrs. Scamander."

"Your memory is as good as ever."

Tina smiled and responded.

Then Newt pushed his grandson forward again, "This is my grandson Rolf, who just finished his first grade at Ilvermorny."

Dumbledore glanced at Rolf, only to see that he was staring at him curiously, and smiled, "What a lovely child... Why not come to Hogwarts?"

Newt shrugged helplessly and explained, "His parents both work in America, and it is more convenient for him to go to school in Ilvermorny... I would like to send him to Hogwarts."

"Ilvermorny is also great."

Tina argued for her alma mater.

"Oh, of course, dear."

As a smart man, Newt naturally would not argue with his wife about this issue, and he immediately changed the subject.

"Apart from the birthday of the little wizard, are there any other festivals today?"

Newt pointed to the busy street and asked curiously.

"This is the first time I've seen Hogsmeade so lively."

"No, today is just Fish's birthday," Dumbledore smiled proudly, waved to the three people, and walked towards the Three Broomsticks, "When you see him, you'll know what's going on."

The three followed Dumbledore into the Three Broomsticks in confusion. At this time, the interior of the bar had been cast with a traceless expansion spell, and the space had expanded several times. There were at least fifty or sixty people inside. Newt estimated that the residents of the entire Hogsmeade village were basically here. He even saw Flitwick, the professor of spells at Hogwarts.

But what attracted his attention the most was a little boy with silver-gray cat ears and a black and white striped cat tail.

"Grandpa Albus, where is Fish's birthday present?!"

(●ω●)

As soon as Fish saw Dumbledore coming in, he jumped off the chair and rushed in front of him at an amazing speed.

"Wow, wow, wow..."

Dumbledore stroked his beard and laughed for a while, then pulled Newt Scamander over, pointed at him and said with a smirk: "This is my birthday present for you, do you like it?"

Newt: "..."

(ω)

Fish glanced at Dumbledore, the bad old man, speechlessly. If it was two years ago, he might have taken it seriously, but now how could Fish believe such stupid words.

However, the kitten still curiously approached Newt and sniffed with his little nose. The smell on the other person was nothing special except that it was a little mixed, but there was a comfortable smell, a bit like unicorns, but not as obvious as them.

"This grandpa looks much more pleasing to the eye than you, Albus, meow."

Fish told the truth.

The smile on Dumbledore's face froze, and suddenly he was not very happy.

Recommendation ticket monthly ticket

In the original book, Newt's grandson did not appear in Hogwarts, but I think it is more likely because Rowling had not yet perfected the setting.

But anyway, there is no Rolf in Hogwarts in the original book, but according to the official setting, he is Luna's future husband, so he can only be arranged in Ilvermorny.

The official did not say Rolf's specific age, so I set it to be the same as Luna.

……

The first edition of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" released in reality is set to be a direct copy of Harry's textbook, and there are some graffiti left by Harry and Ron on it, and it says that this is the 52nd edition.

So if Newt updates the content of the basilisk, it will be the 53rd edition.

Although the 2017 revised edition includes six more magical beasts, the graffiti as Easter eggs have been cancelled. If you are interested in collecting physical books, I still recommend the old version of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

There are also two versions with graffiti. One is the first edition in 2001 with a red cover. This edition was printed in very small quantities at the beginning and is basically unavailable now.

Those bound together with the green-covered "Magical Quidditch" are all fakes. The two genuine copies are separate. Don't be fooled if you want to collect them.

The other version is the white-covered version published in 2014. If you want to buy this now, you should still be able to buy it second-hand.
