Chapter 41: The Winged Demon (Recommend!) )
(I will push you a book "Bow to the Real Boss", written by friends in the group... )
"Although I was the first to subdue him, but in fact—" Newt tilted his head, feeling Hermione's adoring eyes and nodded, "I just took advantage of him not looking..."
"Why doesn't he look us in the eye?" Hermione whispered in Egger's ear.
"Grandpa Newt has autism," Iger muttered, "I've heard that for many years, he talked to anyone like that." ”
"I hear you." Newt forced a turn to look into Egg's eyes, "Actually, I've changed a lot. ”
There was a hint of unconvincing on the old man's face, and Egg looked at the childish appearance of the old man in front of him and grinned: "Do you remember our agreement?" ”
"Oh, of course..."Newt turned back to the room and pulled out a thick stack of ancient books, "I'll keep an eye on you after you told me last time you learned the Parseltongue by mistake." ”
"What books are these?" Iger looked strangely at the book in front of him.
"I think some of the books I collected when I was young and traveled around the world, I think it should be of some help to you." As he spoke, Newt picked up a book and flipped through it, then put it in front of Egger: "Look at this." ”
Egger opened his mouth as he looked at the strange words in the book, and an eagle's cry sounded from Egg's mouth, sounding like a bird's call.
Hermione looked at Egg in surprise with a look of disbelief.
"What is this?" Iger looked at Newt quizzically.
"You know, because I used to raise a lot of fantastic beasts like birds, and even my mother raised eagles and horses when I was young, so I have always paid attention to the way to communicate with birds, which I found on the stone tablet of the ruins of Eastern Mongolia, the language used by the great witches of ancient Mongolia to domesticate birds and magical beasts, it seems to be the same as the Parseltongue, and it is very fast to learn?"
Newt looked at Iger in amazement: "I've been studying for a long time, but it seems that you can see it." ”
"What kind of talent do I have?" Iger asked, incredulous.
"Looks like yes," Newt looked at Egger for a while, "My wife's sister has the ability to prophesy, and is good at reading minds, and that ability is more terrifying than Dumbledore's Regent Reading, and it can't be stopped at all... I think you're a similar ability, and Ige is a very quick learner of something that has been enchanted..."
Newt thought for a moment and said, "The Book of Bloodline you said, you only learned the Parseltongue on it, I think that article should be branded with some special magic, and this article is the same, it looks like after I rubbed the words on the stone tablet..."
"And combined with what you said, you can learn magic as soon as you learn it, and I think this should be a learning talent." Newt said, thinking for a while: "Only for the learning talent of magic, the things in the regular books are of no use to you, only those articles imprinted with magic or ancient magic texts, you can understand the meaning of the author in an instant, of course, this is just my conjecture, although I feel that it is eight or nine and ten." ”
Egg nodded abruptly: "You mean, the Parseltongue on that Book of Bloodlines was engraved with a magic seal, so I learned the Parseltongue in an instant?" ”
"Of course, didn't you just read this bird language?" Newt thought for a moment, turned around and took out a small object and handed it to the two of them: "This is the bird snake, try to communicate with it." ”
Iger nodded without thinking, Newt pursed his lips and laughed, his slightly dull face with a hint of vitality: "What is she talking about?" ”
Egg looked at the little bird snake in front of him: "Hungry... Cockroach... Eat...... But not very fluent. ”
"Of course, this is just a bird and snake cub, and it is not yet time to communicate fluently, I can only judge by their intonation and the length of their voice, this is your talent, I don't know if it comes from blood, but... To be honest, it's not that I look down on Muggle-born children, but Muggle-born children rarely have such special talents. ”
Newt spoke very quickly, which did not seem to match his age of several decades, but rather like a young man with a slightly anxious personality.
Egg nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Newt and asked, "These books... Are they all magic books? ”
"Nine times out of ten." Newt nodded, "There's the language of beasts and... There are some inexplicable magic that I don't understand, and I advise you to be careful when studying, because there are some things that I haven't figured out until now..."
Hermione was holding a small creature that Newt was teasing when he came not far away, Newt turned his head to look at Hermione: "That's a moon beast, it likes to poop, be careful, but fortunately they only defecate at night..."
Seeing Hermione hurriedly put the little one down, Newt smiled, "Their poop is very valuable, and if you put it away before dawn, you can use it as a powerful fertilizer, and Hagrid always asks me to help him get the moon beast's poop." ”
Hermione laughed, reaching out and gently touching the little head of the obsessed beast in front of her, "They look cute..."
"You can take one with you if you like, this little thing is very common for fodder, you can buy it anywhere, and many wizarding families will keep a few to fertilize their yards." Newt nodded, Hermione was a little embarrassed, and Egg looked at her and picked up a small bag with the largest eye in his arms.
Egger then looked at Newt with a blank eye: "Is there anything else you want to give us?" ”
"Greed isn't a good thing..."Newt looked at Egg and shook his head helplessly, "But I really have something here that needs to be given to you..."
As he spoke, Newt took out a cocoon-like thing from his bosom and handed it to Egg: "Dumbledore told me that you are very strong now, otherwise I would not have given it to you with confidence..."
"What is this?" Iger curiously stretched out his hand and poked it, and the cocoon suddenly stretched out a small tail and hooked it on Egg's middle finger.
"The Winged Demon," Newt nodded slightly, "Its food is human brains..."
Hermione's face turned pale when she heard this, and she tugged at Egg's sleeve in horror.
Egger looked at the little guy in front of him in amazement, he had heard of this thing, a very rare magical animal.
"So... How did you raise it? Iger looked at Newt strangely.
Newt pondered for a long time, and then organized the language: "Since you and Dumbledore have inquired about me, then you should know that I have traveled to dozens of countries legally, and at the same time, I have illegally smuggled into dozens of countries..."
Newt looked at Egg's teasing look a little helplessly: "Although I am a Hufflepuff, I have never been the kindest of houses... Well... Expelled from me, but I'm not a bad person, you know, there are always some unsightly, illegal dark wizards or something in my travels, and I don't mind feeding them to the Winged Demon after annoying me, of course, most of the time it eats the brains of ordinary animals instead... Later, when my wife and I got married, I wanted to give my Winged Demon to Hogwarts and release it to the Forbidden Forest, but my wife stopped me because the Winged Demon had saved my wife's life, and it was the Winged Demon who had captured Grindelwald..."
"This is just the offspring of the Curling Winged Demon, I've always bought some animal brains from places like Tumbledown Alley, and of course it makes me feel a little sorry..."Newt said dryly, "But I think if it were you, you should be able to control this amount, its meal is not very large, and it is no problem to eat one meal in a month or two..."
Hermione looked at the little cocoon in Egg's hand with some fear, and Newt looked at her and smiled: "Actually, the Winged Demon is very smart, he can understand us, I thought about releasing it before, but he looks a little unhappy, this will be angry with me, the little thing is still very loyal..."
"I need to warn you, Egger..."Newt patted Egger on the shoulder, "The Winged Demons are the most dangerous, and their sharp teeth can even pry through the dragon's scale armor, so you must take care of it..."
"Thank you, I will~" Egg said with a grin.
After a while, Newt stayed with the two for lunch in the bungalow, and Iger met Newt's wife, Tina Goldstein, for the first time.
The former excellent Auror of the US Ministry of Magic seems to like Hermione very much, according to Newt, Tina used to be a strict and serious person, intelligent and studious, probably due to the common personality of the two, but compared to Hermione, Tina was more reserved when she was younger.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, after Egger and Hermione had afternoon tea at Newt's house, they came to the door and raised their wands. ”
"Wait for the car," Iger smiled.
As Iger finished speaking, a three-decker bus appeared in front of him with a 'bang'.
"Welcome to the Knight Bus... My name is Stan Sanpark—" said a young man with big ears and a small pockmark, looking at the two of them.
"The wizards have buses too?" Hermione looked at Egg in surprise.
"Of course, if you raise your wand anywhere in England, they'll come in a rage," Egg nodded.
"Where? Guys? Stan asked, looking at the two of them.
"Wiltshire, Malfoy Manor." Iger said.
"That's not a friendly place," Stan said, tearing off two tickets and handing them to the two, "It's in the next county, two Galleons each..."
Iger took out five Galleons from his bosom and handed them to him: "Two more cups of cocoa, no need to look for them, thank you." ”
Starr looked very happy and quickly got two cups of cocoa for the two of them, and Hermione seemed a little unaccustomed to riding in the car, and from time to time she was shaken by the vibration of the car, and could only hold on to Egg's arm firmly.
"We're going to Malfoy's house?" Hermione looked at Egg and asked, "Egger, it's fine if you go by yourself, if I still don't go, I don't think the manor of Malfoy's kind of race will welcome me..."
"Don't worry, it's not going to be a great trip, and I'm not sure if the Malfoy family is really as welcoming as he says I am." Egg grinned, "But I'm on my way to business." ”
"Is there anything you can do?" Hermione asked, looking at Egg.
"Of course, I've been thinking about it for the past two days." Egger squinted and thought about what he wanted this time after he and Dumbledore had finished getting the Resurrection Stone that day, and he soon thought of what he wanted this time.
Hogwarts!
Iger is going to take ownership of Hogwarts!
When he questioned Dumbledore, Dumbledore wrote back to him, telling him that the title deed and ownership of Hogwarts belonged to the Headmaster, but that if the Headmaster wanted to transfer it, it would have to be approved by more than half of the school board.
It just so happened that at this time, Malfoy's letter arrived... With a bit of luck, Egg felt that he could get the Horcrux first, and then take the Malfoy family once and for all.
Iger was smiling happily when he received the letter, if I remember correctly, Lucius Malfoy was a member of the board of directors, and it was said that he had quite a lot of authority?
However, Iger was not sure if Lucius Malfoy would really agree, after all, even if he didn't agree, Iger couldn't give him an Arvada, and the Malfoys still had a lot of influence in the British wizarding world.
When the knight's bus stopped at the foot of Malfoy Manor, Egg took Hermione out of the car, looked at the ancient manor in the distance, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then took out a small bottle of elixir from the bag and took a sip...
Egger suddenly felt so good, as if he could do anything now...
"Actually, the scenery is pretty good." Egg smiled, "Although it looks eerie, it may be because of the guardian magic, it looks all foggy..."
As he was talking, a sound was heard in the distance, and a stout man appeared in front of the two, the corners of the man's mouth twitched, and he looked at Egg and Hermione behind him happily, his nose dilated slightly, and his tongue slowly licked the yellow teeth of that mouthful.
Egger suddenly sneered: "The one who came is not good, who are you?" ”
"You can call me Fenrir, Fenrir Greyback." Fenrir's charred teeth twitched slightly, and his voice was low: "Your flesh... It looks tender, and it looks like I'm in for a treat..."
"Tut-tut... It turned out to be a little dog that bites people everywhere..."Egg laughed: "I've heard of you, kobold leader?" ”
"You should learn to be polite, kid—" Fenrir shook his head slightly, as if he had settled on the two of them, "Of course, if you sincerely ask me, I will allow you to join the werewolves......"
There was a 'poof', and before the words could be spoken, Fenrir's head fell on the grass, and the sinister smile on his face before he died.
"Villains always die of talking, I can cut your head off without a wand..."Egg pursed his lips, reached out and picked up Fenrir's dirty hair, motioning for Hermione to follow, and the two of them walked towards the gate of the manor ahead.
Egger's approach to his visit was unfriendly to the Malfoys, and anyone who saw an invited guest carrying a bloody head in his hand and blowing open his door would surely not be happy.
Lucius swore that he had never let Fenrir attack Egger, and he couldn't help but look at his son Draco with some suspicion, looking at his own son's panicked shake of his head, it was obviously not him...
But herein lies the problem...
Maybe Fenrir happened to run into Egg when he came to visit, and he was going to eat a meal of tender meat, but he didn't want to run into Egg, who was wilted and strong...
Really Nyima point back! Lucius was going crazy, but the yellow mud fell in the crotch of his pants, not but ...
He recognized Fenrir's wound on the neck, Snape's masterpiece, and he was out of sight.
But Snape never said it was a spell that knocked people's heads off!
"Kid, believe it or not, I'm going to say it's really just an accident..."Lucius smiled stiffly as he looked at Egger's wand raised.
At this time, the situation could not be careless, the strength of the young man in front of him, no matter which source he got the news from, he could crush himself without pressure, Iger may not know the news about himself, but Lucius knows it clearly.
But this is not the reason why Lucius is nervous, what makes him nervous is that after learning about Quirrell before the holiday, he found out that this kid killed Quirrell in Hogwarts with an Arvada shot, which made Lucius realize that the young man in front of him was not a pure white wizard like Dumbledore, and the other party's heart may be very dark!
"Perhaps—" Egg smiled strangely, he didn't believe the Slytherin snakes.
"It's really just a coincidence, Egger." Draco hurriedly looked at Egg and said, "Greyback always comes to my house, hoping that my dad will buy some of their dark magic items at a low price, I promise you!" ”
"Well, since you've said so..."Egger casually threw away Fenrir's dirty head and swallowed it up with a fierce fire, looking at the stiff faces of the family of three in front of him, Egger couldn't help but snicker in his heart.
He was still thinking about what reason he wanted to take the initiative, but he didn't expect to come to the other party's door and catch up with such a good handle.
For the Malfoy family, as long as they go out to promote it, the outside world will definitely believe what they say...
