Chapter 666: Hannah's Troubles (Wan More Asks for a Monthly Pass!)
The three-headed dog originated from ancient mythology, and can even be traced back to ancient Greece and ancient Egypt.
Unlike the mirinous creatures such as the Sphinx and the Sphinx, which were often hired by ancient wizards to guard their treasures, the relationship between the three-headed dog and the wizard is even closer, and the eagle dog has been a symbol of power since the time of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs.
As the first domesticated animal of man, the bond between canines and humans is far stronger and longer than any other creature in the world—both in the non-magical world and even more so in the magical world.
In Newt Scamander's eyes, this big dog who lives at Hogwarts is as trustworthy as Dumbledore.
"Fluffy? ”
Ignoring the haste in which Dumbledore left, and the deep meaning of the headless encouragement, Newt Scamander's attention had already been devoted to this amazing beast from the moment Lowe revealed his true body.
The intelligence of an adult three-headed dog is equivalent to that of an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and this three-headed hellhound with activated magical blood is obviously more intelligent than its companion - although Newt has not been exposed to many three-headed dogs, he can clearly feel its spirituality and meek heart from the eyes and movements of this big guy.
Under the careful restraint of Lu Wei, the dark blue flames that lingered around it did not even destroy the lawn.
Newt Scamander managed to bring the legendary quasi-god-level creature to his room at the entrance to the underground zoo without much effort, and the whole process went so smoothly that Newt couldn't believe it.
Dumbledore, Hagrid, and the others had already completed the most difficult taming work, and as a temporary breeder, he was naturally very easy.
Newt had just finished cleaning up his big friend's quarters when there was a wave of magic in the space outside the house.
Obviously, Tina and the dangerous little girls are back.
Gently patting the three-headed dog that squinted his eyes and purred pleasantly, Newt Scamander's heart was relieved, and a heartfelt relaxed smile unconsciously appeared on his face, he was quite satisfied with Dumbledore's compensation.
Maybe the little demon king has infinite potential, but she is still very weak, and she still needs time to grow slowly.
With such a docile and loyal three-headed dog of hell, Newt can finally rest assured that his animal companions will suddenly fall into Elena's hands one night and become her vengeful gift to Grindelwald.
Everything is starting to get better.
......
"Newt, we're back. ”
Pushing the door open and returning to the residence, Mrs. Scamander's gaze wandered over the living room for a moment, and asked with a frown, a little confused.
"Hmm, did you have any guests in the house just now?"
"Professor Dumbledore has come here. ”
Newt Scamander quickly explained, caught off guard, and continued with a smile on his face.
"The professor has brought a rather rare magical creature, please ask me to help take care of it for the time being, it is a pretty big guy, and it has a pretty good personality, you will definitely like it Tina. ”
"Fantastic Beast......s?"
Tina Scamander shrugged noncommittally and turned her head to look at the girls behind her.
"Honey, there is a lot of space in the upstairs bathroom, hot water, shower gel, and towels are ready. You must be tired after an afternoon of Quidditch......, right?
"Huh?!There is a big bathroom?!"
Elena's little hair on top of her head stood up excitedly, and instantly forgot about Dumbledore's visit to Newt Scamander's house again - she had come with peace and friendliness anyway, and she was not afraid of even the defendant's complaint.
"It's amazing! Hannah, Luna, let's go wash our hands...... Hey, hey......"
"It's good to be young......"
Watching the girls disappear at the end of the stairs, Tina sighed, and then looked at her husband with a complicated expression:
"Newt, there may be some things you need to be mentally prepared for in advance about these children......
"It's okay, Professor Dumbledore told me everything. ”
Newt Scamander shook his head disapprovingly and replied with a smile.
"No matter how talented those children are, how deep their family background is, so what? After all, they are a group of fledglings who have just been exposed to magic, they are here to live and learn, and we can guide them patiently. ”
"However, they directly knocked down half of the national team on the first day......"
"But any wizard who can be valued by Dumbledore must be different from ordinary people, this is normal. ”
Newt took his wife's hand and patted it gently, with an extraordinarily relaxed look on his face.
"Tina, we're both almost 100 years old, don't mess up with some small things. Just think they're vigilant little beasts, don't worry, everything is under control. ”
"After dinner, I'll take you to see that new friend from the underground zoo, you've never seen it before!"
Newt explained a few words in a relaxed tone, and quickly calmed down the uneasiness in his wife's heart.
"Why don't you go up and see the children first? After all, a group of girls are taking a bath, and it's not convenient for me to ask if there's anything I need help with, so I'll prepare the order of introductions later—I haven't taught for so many years, and I'm a little rusty. ”
Tina Scamander looked at the confidence in Newt's eyes, smiled, and didn't hold on.
Thinking about it carefully, she did have some worries.
Although the exchange process seemed a little shocking to Tina, judging from the final result, both Elena and the others, as well as the members of the English Quidditch national team, had a good impression of each other after a few matches.
By the time it was time to leave, the atmosphere of the whole Quidditch pitch was also very good.
Perhaps, this is the tacit understanding between Quidditch lovers and a unique way of communication?
On the other hand, Newt Scamander was able to live in harmony with even the most dangerous Hungarian tree wasps, living near the dragon's lair for weeks on end, keeping track of their habits up close, not to mention a few little girls.
............
When Mrs. Scamander left, the smile on Newt's face faded.
Although Albus Dumbledore did not reveal more information about Elena Caslana during his second visit due to unknown reasons, he took advantage of the gap in conversation to add some additional information about the other two girls.
Hannah Abbott, Hogwarts Quidditch Chaser, crashed the Slytherin goalkeeper in the final match, and did so through the knocker with a man.
And the following month, it is rumored that she once beat four or five drunken adult wizards down in her family's ruined cauldron tavern, and threw all of them on the stone street of Diagon Alley to sober up.
Compared to Hannah, who is active in the wizarding world, Luna Lovegood's information is undoubtedly much more mysterious.
As the only daughter of Xenophilius Lovegood, the editor-in-chief of Singing Contradiction, her message is not so much about her own strength as it is about her father's changing social status over the years—as the magazine has expanded, the area centered around Lovegood's house has now become a wizarding village certified by the Ministry of Magic.
In the wizarding world, wizard employees are more than just non-combatants.
If Newt did not understand the hint given by Albus Dumbledore correctly, the super abilities and power possessed by these two little girls are most likely an extension of the power of the little demon King Elena Kaslana.
In other words, Elena mostly has what they have...... And, it could be stronger.
"Fortunately, the adult three-headed dog of hell is equivalent to three or four teams of elite Aurors......"
Newt exhaled lightly, as a Master Magical Beast, his own magical strength might only be a small fraction of his total strength, and as long as he had enough magical beast companions to assist, he was confident that he could handle any difficulties.
You know, even Gellert Grindelwald back then had a headache in the face of the combination of Fantastic Beasts + Wizards.
......
At the same time, in the bathroom on the second floor of the treehouse.
Different from other magical families, the decoration style of Newt's house is actually closer to the style of Hufflepuff House, with the familiar yellow and black bedrooms and bathrooms, so that the three of Nana who have just arrived in an unfamiliar environment are not too much estranged and unaccustomed.
After a while of playing as they did at school, the three girls sat on the edge of the bathtub, smearing bubbles on each other.
"Elena, you don't really want to eat Newt's Sniff, do you?"
Hannah Abbott expertly slapped off a claw that had sneaked out from behind.
Fortunately, Luna didn't follow suit, you must know that when she was at Hogwarts before, in addition to Elena, the same mediocre Hermione Granger would team up to sneak attack every time they were in the bathroom.
"Hmm, sniff, sniff, of course not. ”
Elena retracted her paws and continued to help Hannah smooth out the bubbles behind her back without changing her face, asking a little confused.
"But, Hannah, why did you ask this question all of a sudden?"
"Luna said she heard you muttering just now—stewed that sniff. That's what you said, right?"
Hannah shrugged her shoulders and said with some seriousness, "Elena, I think Mrs. Scamander is very good to us, and Senior Newt looks good, and they will be very sad if we catch their sniffers and stew them." ”
Compared to Luna, who only took this sentence as a joke, Tie Hanhan, who had followed Elena to "rob" Professor Snape's office once, was obviously much more concerned, and she knew very well the unscrupulousness hidden in the heart of this white-haired ball.
Although many times she can't sort out the logic after the incident, according to the "Handbook for Dealing with White-Haired Dangzi" that Hermione helped her, if she discusses with Elena generously in advance after discovering some clues, then with Elena's character, she will probably not mess around against their will without fully convincing them.
"Luna?hmm...... Well, that's exactly what I said. ”
Elena's face froze, and she glanced helplessly at Luna Lovegood, whose eyes were empty.
As a "dice girl" who is almost full of innate inspiration, Luna always has a special specialty in this strange information capture that is completely unexplained by science and magic...... Thankfully, for now, there are no ancient gods in this world.
"That's not what I thought, though, it's actually a mantra. ”
Elena thought for a moment, rolled her eyes, and spread her hands to explain seriously.
"Well, it's just a special spell that opens up space in my suitcase...... This box was given to me by Professor Dumbledore, and I don't know why I set this sentence. If you don't believe me, you can try it when we're done with the shower. ”
"The spell to open up the trunk space?huh?!"
Hannah was slightly stunned, and the follow-up words suddenly stuck in her mouth.
Elena raised her fingers, looked at the sluggish Tie Hanhan, and said with a sincere expression.
"That's right, it's like the key set up at the door of the Gringotts vault, or the entry orders in the various common rooms in our school, and the space inside the suitcase can only be opened if the correct spell is pronounced. ”
"Well, but ......"
Hannah blinked, thought for a few seconds, and then suddenly looked up again.
"But Elena, you still haven't answered, will you eat Mr. Scamander's sniff, you're changing the subject, aren't you! I'm not going to be fooled by you now! you're not going to eat sniff, are you?"
"That's a good question, I haven't tasted what it sounds like......"
Elena licked her lips lightly and whispered like a demon king.
"Well, then let's not eat Mr. Scamander's house, or ......"
Poof—
Glancing at Hannah, whose expression instantly froze, and her eyes were full of nervousness, Elena couldn't help but laugh out loud, shook her head helplessly, raised her bubble-stained hands and pinched Hannah's cheeks, and pulled them hard to both sides.
"Do you think I'm a fire dragon who has been hungry for ten months? There are so many delicious normal foods, why should I try to smell things that don't look very tasty, even if it's for research, it has to be approved by Senior Newt......"
"But haven't you already ...... those eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest?"
"That's different because they're aggressive towards humans. ”
Elena shook her head and explained softly.
"I have permission to do this with Professor Dumbledore and the professors at the school...... For this creature that threatens the students, if it were not for their certain edible value, then there is only one thing that awaits them - to completely disappear from the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest, unconditionally. ”
