Chapter 31: The Lost Key (Thanks to the "Trooper1770" Boss for His 10,000-dollar tip)
Sothros Village,
As the only wizard village in the Romanian reserve, there are many villagers, but there are very few wizards who can mix with everyone's face.
Newt Scamander only spends some time of the year in the village, but as a famous magizoologist, he has captured Grindelwald...... He is known to almost everyone in the area.
Including his grandson, who rides around on a broomstick all year round.
therefore
Suddenly, a little girl came to Scamander's house...... The news soon spread throughout the village.
The little girl seems to have stayed for a long time, and several times went to the village with Rove to buy things, and even followed the boy to treat the pets of the village wizard's family.
The girl greeted everyone very politely, and whatever Rove shouted, she followed suit, and she was very courteous, and she looked extremely beautiful, but she was too thin.
When a group of witches are idle and have nothing to do to chat, they will talk about this gossip and discuss her relationship with Rove.
Rove said that she was a sister to the outside world, but everyone didn't think it was like it, and they preferred to believe what Catherine said...... scumbag version of "Rove was found for playing with other people's feelings".
Rove was also speechless, if it weren't for Catherine's half-blood giant bodyguard by her side, he would have been ready to go to the Green Dragon Bar to smash the field.
Shirley didn't pay much attention to it.
Or rather, she just thinks it's the neighbors who are kindly teasing.
When she went out shopping to buy daily necessities, she would answer patiently when an elder deliberately asked why she didn't go with Rove...... He's busy.
But although she doesn't care, Shirley still has red ears every time she is asked this kind of question, but this will definitely not be told to Rove.
Only at night,
Lying alone in bed, the girl will think about it once in a while.
Speaking of being an assistant, Rove didn't really have much to do for Shirley, at most feeding the little animals in the box.
But the girl, who had just escaped from the dire convent, really worked hard, after all, Rove gave her so much salary and took her in.
You can't do it without working!
Shirley began to clean the house when she had nothing to do, from the first floor to the fourth floor, and finally even flew to the roof on a broomstick to pull out the lush weeds.
If Rove hadn't stopped her, the girl would have had to paint even the peeling walls.
Shirley also bought a copy of Practical House Magic, which introduced a lot of practical magic about housework, and she practiced magic every day to learn how to clean the room with a descaling charm.
As for not being able to use magic outside of school during the summer vacation...... She's in the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary, and the British Ministry of Magic can't manage it so far!
After practicing for a long time, practice makes perfect, and the tableware and vases at home were all cleaned by the girl with magic.
Every day when Rove sees Shirley busy there, he can't help but want to buy her a maid outfit, of course...... He was just thinking about it.
Newt went out for a few days, and when he came back, he suddenly didn't know the family...... The last time it was so clean was when Tina was there.
The old man is also impressed, Rove is simply stepping on shit luck to be able to pick up this kind of little assistant.
But he was also angry...... What are you doing next to those sniffers and fire dragons every day, people have finally come to Romania, can't they take them out for a walk?
He doesn't care about social fear alone, but he can't be a social fear in the whole family, right?
Newt, who was fascinated when he was a member of the authorities, became a bystander but had a clear mind, and his mind suddenly became alive...... Immediately kicked the two out of the house.
So, Rove had no choice but to take Shirley on a tour of Romania.
Led by the boy, the girl sees flying fish and a pod of dolphins chasing each other for the first time, and catches a horse-headed fish-tail sea monster.
The girl caught the moonlight lizard for the first time, and at dawn, she sat on the trunk of a tree with the boy, and saw the morning glow slowly blooming in the eastern sky, and the sea was sparkling with gold, which was magnificent.
For the first time, the girl rode a broomstick and chased a group of fire dragons, and the roar of the fire dragon sounded, one by one, and the sound was passed on endlessly.
As the summer vacation drew to a close, Shirley had already followed Rove and was going to take a tour of Romania.
Along the way, the ponytail girl walked a long way, saw a lot of scenery, and met many people and things.
……
……
Walking on a secluded mountain road, the high slopes on both sides are covered with vines.
Shirley asked in a soft voice, "What are we going to see this time?" ”
"Go and see the dwarfs mining." Rove said.
Shirley gave Rove a blank look, she could now clearly tell if the boy was joking or serious.
"Well, lie to you...... I told you before that the dwarfs dug up dragon fossils in the mines. Rove explained:
"My grandfather said that it was a fire dragon breed that had been extinct for more than 10,000 years...... It's much bigger than the current fire dragon, I'll take you to see it. ”
The two of them struggled to climb the hill, and there were many tourists on the uphill slope, all of whom came to see the ancient fire dragon fossils.
Shirley stood on the hillside, her arms raised, palms outstretched, high above her head, and she looked out at the huge pit in the distance, and she was dumbfounded.
A complete fossilized dragon bone lies in the pit, more than 100 meters long.
The two watched for a while, and as they walked back, Shirley was shocked:
"I remember that the biggest breed of fire dragon now is the Ukrainian iron belly."
"Yes, but it's generally just over twenty meters long." Rove exclaimed: "It's hard to imagine what it would be like for a fire dragon more than a hundred meters to fly in the sky. ”
Rove accidentally bumped into a tourist, who reached out and pressed the boy on the shoulder.
When Rove looked up, he saw a kind white-haired old man, with a slender figure, but his face was wrinkled, like the bark of a tree.
The old man smiled and said, "Be careful, child. ”
"I'm sorry, are you okay?" Rove hurriedly apologized.
"It's fine." The old man waved his hand.
Rove breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily he and Shirley continued to walk down the hill.
After Rove walked away, the old man was still looking at the young man's back, and in his collar, a small snake suddenly came out.
The snake opened its mouth wide and hissed, "Are you interested in that guy?" ”
"I smell a familiar smell." The old man hissed in a parseltongue tone: "I haven't smelled it for more than three hundred years, and I miss it a little." ”
"By the way, what are we doing here?" The snake asked.
"Find a key, the key that this beast swallowed back then." The old man took a step forward and appeared beside the dragon fossil.
However, none of the wizards who observed the fossils of the fire dragon could see the old man, as if he did not exist.
"I think I lost it." The old man's eyes were calm, and he slowly stretched out his hand, but with a casual gesture of raising his hand, the fire dragon fossil disappeared.
The figure of the old man disappeared again in an instant.
