Just after noon, the sun shines through the clouds, reflecting dappled light and shadow on the grass outside the window.

Newt Scamander sat at the living room table, looking at the parchment spread out in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know where to start, Tina had already taken the children to the Quidditch pitch of the national team, and he had at least two or three hours to go.

The idea of "borrowing a dog" from Dumbledore was not a whim of Newt either.

You know, the three-headed dog is not an ordinary creature, and after all these years, even Newt Scamander has never personally raised this legendary creature that belongs to the favorite companions of ancient wizards.

And Elena's case was not so much that he really needed a reliable guard, but that he took the opportunity to use it as an excuse to get such a magical creature from Dumbledore and study it up close—even so, Newt was still a little hesitant about how to write a letter asking for the three-headed dog.

After all...... He's never been good at asking for something......

Newt glanced at the feeding table hanging by the door, thought about it and wrote slowly:

"Dear Professor Dumbledore,

"After taking a closer look at the animals that are still kept at home, I think I need to add some necessary security measures and teaching aids in order to better teach and take care of the students you have sent. ”

That's right, one of the magical guards and teaching goals, and that's a pretty reasonable excuse.

On the one hand, the three-headed dog was originally the best choice for ancient wizards to guard their treasures, and on the other hand, the three-headed dog tamed by wizards was very suitable for acting as a wizard's assistant in terms of intelligence and loyalty.

"If you're not exaggerating, you're sending me a Hungarian tree bee with a half-breed look, and a Gringotts goblin heart. Until I'm completely sure if she still carries the vengeance of 'that man', I need a reliable guard to temporarily block access to the animal area. ”

Newt Scamander's logic grew smoother and clearer, and the quill swiped rapidly.

"Not long ago, I heard from a friend that there is a domesticated adult three-headed dog at Hogwarts Castle, and I hope that you will send it to me for the time being, both as a caretaker and a teacher, and as a compensation. ”

To be honest, he has been cheated by Dumbledore and the wizarding world many times, and he is no stranger to the word compensation.

But after so many years of struggling in the pit, Newt is now more and more adept at dealing with all kinds of troubles, and gradually learning how to claim some reasonable compensation within certain limits - and although he is obsessed with the world of magical beasts and does not like to deal with people, raising magical beasts takes a lot of resources.

Newt Scamander, who is now in his nineties, is no longer the shy and naïve boy he was back then.

After a few seconds of silence, Newt thought for a moment and continued to add a few words.

"Rest assured, I'm not going to take possession of this big dog, I'm just going to update some of the missing Fantastic Beasts Bestiary information on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. In any case, if you can convince Mr. Hagrid to lend me this three-headed dog for a month, the 'overnight arrangement' will be written off, and I will have no complaints. ”

Newt Scamander stopped writing suddenly, and he had a vague feeling that some shadow was approaching.

However, he thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem that there were too many problems.

The only 'borrowed' three-headed dog that could be problematic was really difficult to tame or dangerous, Professor Dumbledore would naturally refuse outright - as a well-known top wizard in the Fantastic Beasts world, even if he had no previous experience raising three-headed dogs, Newt didn't have many doubts about whether he could control the big dog.

Perhaps, it's because I've made a big fuss this time, right?

However, given the lessons he had learned from his acquaintance with Albus Dumbledore, Newt didn't feel that there was anything wrong with being a little cautious about Elena—Dumbledore had cheated him many times over the years.

"Finally, I have one more question, you didn't secretly promise that kid anything strange, did you?

"Your student and friend, Newt Scamander. ”

After putting down the quill and reading it from the beginning, Newt took out his wand and tapped it lightly on the parchment, and the paper floated up and folded automatically, then dragged the blank parchment underneath to form an envelope, wrapping the letter.

After carefully tapping on the envelope and casting the unique tracing magic mark that belonged to his and Dumbledore's private contact, Newt walked to the owl shed at the top of the treehouse and found a little creature shivering in a corner.

It was only then that Newt discovered the first strange change after Elena came-

For some reason, his owls were more or less nervous at this time, and most of the owls that were supposed to be at rest woke up, huddled together in fear, and made uneasy cooing sounds.

That's what it is...... Is the half-breed girl suppressive of birds?

Even if it is the enraged form of a pure-blooded girl, most of them are nothing more than that, and I don't know how much that white-haired little ball has strengthened its own bloodline magic, just staying in the room for a while can produce such an effect.

Newt sighed secretly, calmed the panicked little owl a little, and tied the letter to the other's talons.

Finally receiving the task of delivering a letter that could travel far away, the owl rubbed the back of Newt's hand affectionately, let out an incomprehensible cooing, and immediately flapped its wings and flew towards the distant sky.

Watching the owl messenger gradually melt into the sky, Newt breathed a sigh of relief and relieved himself.

It's just taking care of the mixed-breed little Meiwa for a month, and if you can get a rare three-headed dog breeding opportunity, this exchange seems acceptable when you think about it, and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" hasn't updated the new animal illustrated book for a long time.

"Three-headed dog, I wish Professor Dumbledore would agree......"

Newt muttered under his breath, roughly calming the other owls in the owl shed.

Then, he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and walked quickly downstairs.

At this time, there is still a lot of time before Tina and the little girls come back, and Newt Scamander is ready to hurry to the "underground magical zoo" to feed his animals first, and check every cage and fence by the way.

In addition, it may be necessary to pack up a small space for the upcoming three-headed dog to live in a small space.

Of course, the premise is that Professor Dumbledore is willing to lend him the rare three-headed dog for a period of time, and Newt himself is not very sure whether this will succeed - in short, it is good to give it a try.

............

Meanwhile, Bournemouth Beach stretches to the end.

Jurassic Coast, that's the name of this long stretch of coastline.

Stretching over 150 kilometres from East Devon to Dorset, this is one of the most spectacular coastlines in the UK, one of the world's most amazing natural landscapes, and the only place that showcases nearly 200 million years of Earth's history.

Traces of prehistoric history are left everywhere on the sandy beaches, seabeds, cliffs, and sea stacks and stone arches along the coast, including fossils left by many prehistoric plants and animals, including even dinosaur footprints.

For Newt Scamander, there are traces of vanished magical beasts.

This is one of the reasons why he chose to live in seclusion with his wife in Bournemouth.

However, for the vast majority of people in the wizarding world, in addition to the value of magical beast research and the charm of nature, there is another more well-known landmark venue -

The training base of the Quidditch national team in British wizarding world, and the location of the [Jurassic Quidditch Stadium].

The clear waves wash the beach all at once, and the soft golden sand has a desire to take off your shoes and run on it, and the sea breeze carries a hint of summer drunkenness, which makes people feel intoxicated.

Led by Tina Scamander, the three of them took broomsticks and walked through the barrier set up by the Ministry of Magic, along the long coastline, chatting and walking towards the huge and magnificent stadium not far away.

That's where the legendary English Quidditch geniuses gathered, carrying the hopes of the British wizarding community.
