Chapter 652: Bournemouth and the Safe House

Somewhere in Dorset, England.

With the sound of phantom manifestations, four figures, one large, three small, appeared on the corner of the secluded street.

Of course, seclusion is relative, and it appears to be an extended side street on the side of the city's main thoroughfare, lined with a row of ordinary Victorian yellow brick houses decorated with decibly shells and wavy frosted stone.

Elena looked up at the shop signs on the street outside, and the light blue signs that stood next to the street lamps.

"Hey, here's ...... Bournemouth?"

The wind smells like the salty smell of the sea, and the surrounding architecture and surroundings are a perfect blend of old Victorian architecture and seaside Art Deco, not to mention the big "Bournemouth" signpost.

Without a doubt, this is the most famous coastal tourist destination in the whole of the United Kingdom, Bournemouth.

"Yes, may I ask you any questions? Miss Kaslana. ”

Dumbledore nodded pleasantly, taking a closer look at his surroundings and explaining gently.

"The England national team's training ground is on the other side of Studland Bay...... That's what I remember Muggles calling that place - the long, vast Jurassic Coast was perfect for hiding a part of a Quidditch pitch without attracting the attention of Muggles...... After all, the kind of situation on Charing Cross Road and Diagon Alley is better to try to be as little as possible. ”

Over time, the rate at which the non-magical world is expanding in the world, and the range of activities that have been increasing at a terrifying rate in recent decades, has become a major headache for ministries of magic.

As a result, the wizarding world had to choose locations that were far away from Muggle settlements, and that were spacious and not too noticeable if they were missing a little bit of the concept.

"Well, that sounds like some truth, but ......"

Elena glanced at the tourists in swimsuits on the main road not far away, and replied slowly and thoughtfully.

Staying by the sea in summer is indeed a welfare event that people can't find fault with and refuse.

But when you add Newt Scamander's secret abode, there's a strange sense of incongruity – it's one of the most populous bay towns in the UK, and it doesn't look like a ranch for animals.

"But...... It looks a little cramped, it doesn't look like Newt Scamander's home?"

As if guessing what Elena wanted to say, Dumbledore smiled slightly, and while explaining, he took out three small golden squares like chocolate frog cards from his coat pocket, waved his hand gently, and floated into the hands of the three Elena.

"Come, read this first, this is the 'key' that Newt has prepared for you. Without this, even if you had searched every inch of Bournemouth, you would not have been able to find the entrance to Newt's house. ”

"What is this? the address of the Damid Loyalty Curse?"

Elena raised an eyebrow, looking at the card in her hand with a slight suspicion.

Well, that's a chocolate frog card.

More precisely, it's Newt Scamander's character card, but compared to the bunch of ordinary cards that Ron collected, the edges and background of this card appear to be of an unknown pale gold substance like gold leaf.

And it's different from the usual chocolate frog character card, maybe it's the line written at the very end.

[After resigning from his position as Headmaster of Hogwarts and the Magical Beasts Administration at the Ministry of Magic, the famous magizoologist Newt Scamander and his wife Tina Goldstein now live in Dorsetshire. 】

"In this world, there is more than one way to protect a magical safe house...... This is a more peculiar, ancient form of magic-enhanced protection, and many old wizards prefer to live in seclusion in this way. Look!"

Dumbledore said with a smile, gesturing to the row of ordinary Victorian houses in front of Elena.

The next moment, as if the ancient plants had suddenly returned to the city, countless vines, branches, flower beds, and shrubs suddenly grew wildly from the ground, and in less than a few seconds, they completely swallowed the houses they had seen before.

After a brief blur of the surroundings, it was as if all the streets and houses had been put under the pulleys, and the whole world quickly receded into the distance around the four of Elena, replaced by a vast field and a strange house that seemed to grow directly from a huge ancient tree.

"This ...... It's ......"

Elena subconsciously widened her eyes and watched the changes around her in amazement.

She didn't feel any magical fluctuations, nor did she feel the slightest discomfort of spatial teleportation similar to the one she felt when she was apparition-shiftingβ€”to be precise, she wasn't moving at all, it was the world that was moving.

As for Luna Lovegood and Hannah Abbott who were standing beside her, they were completely stupid at this time, and the two little Loli invariably opened their mouths slightly, and they couldn't even make a surprised sound, just stared blankly at the surrounding environment.

"Well, don't be too surprised, the magic is much more vast than you think. ”

Dumbledore patted Elena on the back and whispered.

"If you're interested in all of this, try asking Newt afterwards and see if he's willing to tell you some of the mysteries - don't look at me, I won't do this magic, well, he won't. Perhaps, only Newt would devote a lot of energy to these magics, after all, he has too many wonderful creatures to take care of......"

"Now, let's hurry inside, Newt should already know we're coming. ”

Just as the two were talking, the door of the house that looked like a huge ancient tree not far away suddenly opened.

An old wizard with a shimmering spirit pushed open the door and walked out.
