Chapter 43 Another Night Attack? (Please Read On)
Grete secretly complained that the Invisible Beast was more gentlemanly than himself.
He took the hand of friendship extended by the Invisible Beast.
The Invisible Beast's hand was not big, even half the size of the eleven-year-old Grete's hand.
When Grete got closer to observe, he did not find a trace of dirt on it.
The silky fine hair seemed to be shining silver every moment.
Before, Newt introduced the Invisible Beast as the best friend of the Sniff, and Grete fully suspected that it wanted to pluck the fur from the Invisible Beast.
It was obviously just a magical animal, but Grete saw a hint of sadness in its black eyes hidden in its hair.
Newt stood aside and silently observed the expression of the Invisible Beast.
From the beginning, the destination for him to bring Grete in was here.
Unlike most wizards, Newt felt that the most precious thing about the Invisible Beast was not its silver-white fur that could be used to weave an invisibility cloak.
Rather, it is their innate gift of prophecy that every fortune teller who is tortured and almost crazy because he cannot interpret the meaning of the divination image is jealous of.
Newt is born close to nature, and he can live in harmony with any magical animal.
Therefore, he learned about their unknown and enviable gift of prophecy from the invisible beast.
It is precisely because of the protection of the innate gift of prophecy that they have survived strongly under the covetousness of wizards for their invisible fur.
It can even be said that invisibility has never been their greatest reliance.
Newt did not write it in the book, and the name given to the invisible beast is the prophet among magical animals.
Newt has never told anyone about this secret, not even Dumbledore.
Since he received Dumbledore's letter for the first time, he has been thinking about how to face Gretel.
Like Dumbledore, Newt has also experienced two generations of Dark Lords, Grindelwald and Voldemort.
Even the Dark Lord Grindelwald was finally brought to justice with his help.
He knew very well that the current magic world could not afford any more turmoil.
The development of Muggles had long surpassed that of wizards. For wizards, it seemed like an exaggeration to describe them as lingering on.
If the magic world welcomed a new Dark Lord who was stronger than Grindelwald and Voldemort, the wizard world would be turned upside down.
Even without waiting for the Muggles to break the balance in the future, wizards would collectively disappear in history.
So, even though his talent had been telling him that the little wizard in front of him was harmless and trustworthy now.
Newt had to bring Gretel to see the Invisible Beast.
He needed the Invisible Beast to give him a reassurance.
The man and the beast did not shake hands for too long.
Just like two strangers who met for the first time, no one was embarrassed to shake hands for too long, and they went their separate ways after a polite greeting.
One returned to Newt, admiring the gentleness and elegance of the magical animal, the Invisible Beast.
The other turned back to the tree hole where he lived, picked and chose for a while, and finally brought a small ball of fur.
"???"
Newt suddenly didn't understand.
The Invisible Beast has a strong sense of family. As long as they are recognized by them, any person or animal will be regarded as a family member by them.
Just like him and Sniff, they are all non-staff members of the Invisible Beast tribe.
But things have priorities, people have closeness and distance, and non-staff members and blood inheritance are naturally incomparable.
The small ball of fur brought by the Invisible Beast is the newborn baby added to their tribe this year.
Even Newt only saw it from a distance once, and it was absolutely impossible to get close.
He didn't know what the Invisible Beast saw in the prophecy that made it make such an intimate move to Grete.
And from the look of it, it was not just about letting Grete see its own cub.
The hand that was handed over was obviously intended to give this cub to him.
Facing Gret's questioning eyes, Newt didn't know what to say for a moment.
This situation in front of him was the first time Newt had seen it even after living for so many years.
He really didn't know how to explain it, so he had to flee with Gret.
——
"Dr. Scamander, what was that just now?"
Gret couldn't hold back his curiosity after all, and asked his own questions while holding the hot tea.
Newt rubbed his nose awkwardly, "I think it's because you are too popular with them. I don't know the specific reason yet, and I need to communicate with them to know.
You have to stay here for a few months. Before you leave, you will definitely know why. If you have nothing else to do, you might as well study with me.
Magical creatures are really interesting. I remember that I started dissecting Horkrup in my bedroom when I was seven years old."
[Horkrup: A mushroom from the Scandinavian Peninsula with strong reproductive capacity. It is classified as X-level in the Ministry of Magic]
Gret declined. Although magical animals are really interesting, Gret's business plan does not include wild animals.
He also wants to take advantage of this time to conduct market research in America.
He wanted to earn his first pot of gold and lay a solid foundation for his business empire before the Muggle communication market was launched.
After feeling the pain of the portkey last time, Gretel felt that he might have underestimated his invention.
Wizards, perhaps need instant communication more than he thought.
At night, everything was quiet.
From the gap of the suitcase in the basement, a pair of hands covered with silver fur slowly stretched out and quietly opened the suitcase.
The opened suitcase generously sprinkled the sunlight from the internal space into the basement.
Several figures emerged stealthily, and then gradually faded in the light, and the cat left the basement.
However, because they had not left the space for many years, the invisible beasts obviously did not realize how many early warning spells Newt had made to prevent the magical creatures in this space from causing trouble.
The moment they stepped out of the basement, the alarm sounded in the entire building at 360 degrees without dead ends.
Imprisonment spell, swamp spell, freezing spell, weakness spell, coma spell...
All spells that can delay the escape speed of magical animals smashed several invisible beasts in a short moment.
Gret rushed out in pajamas, unlike ordinary first-year wizards.
He had already brushed most of the spells to level three, and if he took action within a certain period of time, the effect he played would not be inferior to any adult wizard.
But what surprised several people was that they rushed to the basement, but did not see the culprit who opened the suitcase.
There was only an open suitcase on the ground, and several Bowtruckles struggling to climb out.
When seeing Newt appear, the Bowtruckle, who was leaning over to hook his companion on the steps below, jumped up angrily.
He pointed and complained to Newt.
?
Gretel could not understand what the Bowtruckle meant by his gestures, but he could understand the entanglement on Newt's face.
That expression was exactly the same as the complicated expression on Quirrell's face when Gretel took out the textbook from the small bag sent by Voldemort in front of Quirrell.
"Hurry up and show yourself." Accompanied by Newt's spell.
Several invisible beasts held their own cubs, and appeared in the swamp formed by the spell with anger and laughter.
Their faces were full of astonishment, as if they did not expect Newt, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to set traps for them.
Newt, Tina, and Gretel, three courts were tried together.
Bowtruckle, as a witness, waved flags and shouted on the antique shelf nearby to boost his reputation.
Several invisible beasts, holding their cubs, squatted awkwardly in the middle, waiting for Newt's trial.
As the case was heard, a big question mark appeared on Gret's forehead.
What?
Another night attack?

Small theater
Gret's monologue: I traveled through eleven years, became a wizard for one year, Dumbledore kidnapped me, Voldemort attacked me at night, and now the invisible beast and Bowtruckle are also going to attack me at night. How many people have this plan? Come out.
In the shadows of the dark, the masked people raised their fingers in unison: Hush!
Life goes on, and night attacks never stop!
