Listening to Lemay's praise, Xiwen grinned a little embarrassedly and smiled wryly.

Now it seems that the transfiguration technique that Dumbledore used on Sivin at that time may not only be to test his transfiguration ability, but more likely to be a foreshadowing of Siwin's ability to better adapt to the wild nature of the animal when he first transforms into Animagus.

Xiwen sighed, deeply feeling that he was really surrounded by elders, and no matter what he learned, there would be meticulous help from his elders.

It's a good feeling.

……

Lemay seemed to be completely speechless by Xiwen's manipulation, and did not want to discuss the transformation of the Animagus.

So, Newt began to introduce them to the discoveries he had found in the Albanian forest.

"Xiwen may remember that Karma's speculum was destroyed by an external force." Newt said. "It's unlikely that this external force came from Nagini herself, and if she wanted to destroy the speculum, she should have destroyed it ten years ago, and she shouldn't have stayed for a few years to destroy it on a whim."

"It doesn't really make sense." Xiwen nodded lightly and said. "But could it be that she lost the speculum after turning into a snake, and was later inadvertently destroyed by some magical beast or something?"

"Not really." Newt shook his head. "Since we found traces of Nagini in the Albanian forest where the scope was destroyed, it proves that Nagini had kept the scope with her for the past few years, so she must have found a way to store the belongings she carried with her when she was transformed."

"Therefore, the possibility of accidental loss is not very large."

So Dumbledore speculated that Nagini must have encountered some danger in or near the Albanian forest. Possibly struck by a powerful spell that was responsible for the destruction of the speculum and Nagini's complete transformation into a viper! ”

Listening to the logic of Newt's words, Xiwen felt that he was listening a little bit.

So he quickly interrupted Newt and asked, "So, how did Dumbledore tell that the speculum was destroyed by a spell attack and not shattered by an object?" ”

"The speculum inherited by the Kama family is naturally full of protective magic, how could it be shattered?" Newt was also a little uncomfortable with Shiwen asking such an untechnical question, and asked in turn.

"Forget that, that's fine......" Shevin put his hand on his forehead, then nodded in agreement and motioned for Newt to continue.

"Albania's forests are vast, and the last place we passed through was just a tiny corner of that forest." Newt continued. "After many days of exploration, I found that there were traces of camping and burning in the forest, and there were remnants of protection charms around the camp, which should be signs of other wizarding activities."

"There are not many signs of this kind of wizarding activity, I suspect that there is a group of wizards in the forest, but I don't know if they have anything to do with the attack on Nagini."

Hearing this, Lemay asked with some concern: "Newt, if they really have something to do with the attack on Nagini, wouldn't it be dangerous for you to explore that forest alone?" ”

"Don't worry, there's no anti-apparition spell in the forest, and I can leave at any time if I find something wrong." Newt said. As he spoke, he pulled out a tie decorated with gold figures from his pocket. "I also have a portkey here, which leads to Hogwarts."

"Originally, Dumbledore gave it to Theseus when dealing with Grindelwald, but then because of Strange's portal, we didn't use this portkey. I later kept it for a better case! ”

"Actually, there's one more thing you forgot to mention." Shevin smiled at Newt. "You can always ask me to open the portal for you, so you can get out of it even if you encounter an anti-illusion shifting spell."

"Then please." Newt laughed knowingly, too.

I saw Lemay operate on the Phoenix Floating Book, and then said: "Okay, set up the function of connecting the mirrors of the two of you, so you don't have to encounter anything in the future and need to transfer from me." ”

"Is it so advanced?" Shivin took out his mirror, and sure enough, he found a Runevin node other than Lemay's floating book, and Newt's face appeared on the mirror after connecting it.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

"It's amazing!" Newt sighed. "That way, it will be more convenient to ask Xiwen to help me open the portal in the future."

"Then when I sense another heartbeat, it's easier to contact Newt to borrow his box." Xiwen laughed.

However, before Shevin and Newt could experiment with the mirror's new features, Lemay was already starting to pick people up.

"It's late today, Xiao Xiwen should go back to bed early!" Lemay urged. "I'm going to get up at sunrise tomorrow morning and recite a mantra!"

"What's more, even if you don't want to sleep, Perenal and I can't stay up!"

Looking at Madame Lemay with a sleepy look on her face, Xiwen smiled wryly, and hurriedly thanked the two old men for their help to him.

He then opened a dimensional door to Albania and sent Newt back to his tent.

After seeing Newt off, he said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Lemay, opened a door directly beside his bed, and lay down heavily under the covers......

……

The next day was Wednesday, and Xiwen woke up early as usual to get ready to go out for morning exercises.

It's late winter, and the Scottish sun is lazily sitting below the horizon, reluctant to rise.

Thinking of this, Xiwen couldn't help but be a little glad that he didn't choose to learn Animagus Transfiguration in the summer.

Because according to the higher latitudes of this area of Hogwarts, the length of day and night varies greatly - the sun rises at about 4 a.m. in the Scottish summer, which means that the pre-preparation of the third step of the routine mantra needs to be performed at 4 a.m.

Waking up at 4 a.m. is too much!

In contrast, the sun doesn't rise until around 8 a.m. in winter in Scotland, so Shevin can even take the opportunity to sleep in......

However, according to Xiwen's habit, this time he should go to the grass northwest of the castle for morning exercises. It was still early before sunrise, and it was not too late to wait until eight o'clock to prepare for the morning and evening mantra routine.

However, it wasn't until he walked outside the castle that he noticed that the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the entire complex was covered with a layer of silver. The stratus clouds in the sky still haven't dispersed, and there are occasional snowflakes falling in the sky, like white butterflies.

He exhaled softly, as if a white mist was coming out of his mouth, causing a slight tremor to the snowflakes in front of him.

Only then did Sivin remember that it had snowed heavily at Hogwarts last night. And because he had been staying in sunny Paris, he subconsciously ignored this.

There was snow everywhere around the castle, and it seemed that there was no way to do the morning exercise. Shiven simply used the summoning charm to conjure a transparent umbrella at the tip of his wand, and walked towards Professor Kettleburn's shack with the umbrella.

I wonder how the professor's play rehearsal went?

That drama seems to be called "Fountain of Good Luck", right?

I don't know what the story is telling......
