Chapter 183: To Hogwarts (1st Update)
"Tom!"
After seeing Li Chuan, Newt immediately patted the horse-shaped water monster on the head, and the horse-shaped water monster took him to the shore very meekly.
"Newt, you're the only one who can make it so docile."
Li Chuan took two steps closer and smiled.
New York has a special temperament that makes the irascible magical creatures docile when they meet him, not only because he understands them, but also because of his heartfelt concern for them.
Magical creatures are different from normal creatures, probably because of their magical powers, and they are more sensitive.
It is very realistic that no matter how friendly Li Chuan is, most magical animals are very wary of him.
Because in his heart, he is no different from ordinary creatures for magical creatures, and in his opinion, as long as it is an existence that threatens his safety, even if it is a rare creature that is left in the world, he will not be soft when it is time to kill.
There is another point, it may be that he has killed too many people for humans to feel it, but sensitive magical creatures can feel it, so they will not get close to him.
"You can do it too."
Newt dismounted from the horse-shaped water monster, touched its head, and then cast a spell to instantly vaporize the water from its body.
And after the horse-shaped water monster waited for Newt to come ashore, he instinctively bared his teeth at Li Chuan and let out a threatening roar, as if he was very jealous of Li Chuan.
And Li Chuan didn't care, he stepped forward like lightning and grabbed the mouth of the horse-shaped water monster, so that it could not attack him, and then smiled and raised his hand to rub the mane of the horse-shaped water ghost.
"You little cutie, can't you be kind to me? I'm the favorite of these little guys! ”
Grabbed by Li Chuan's mouth, the horse-shaped water monster tried his best to roll his huge body to get rid of, but found that no matter how hard he tried, Li Chuan's hands were not moving, and in the end he had to be forcibly touched by Li Chuan.
"It's just that everyone's approach is different."
Newt, who was drying his clothes, looked at the horse-shaped water monster who was held by Li Chuan's mouth and became honest, and reluctantly said the latter sentence.
Many of his magical beasts here are dangerous and have a bad temper, and in addition to him, even Bonti, who often comes to help care for and feed them, will be injured by them.
But Li Chuan is an exception, Li Chuan also likes the magical animals here, and often comes over to help feed them, but there may be some other magical beast blood in his body, he guesses that it is either a giant or a troll.
The basis is his frighteningly strong strength.
Therefore, most magical beasts may feel threatened, so they are more reluctant to approach Li Chuan, and even attack him.
But Li Chuan was always able to get them honest very quickly, although the methods he used were different from his own.
"Why didn't Credence come with you today?"
After the two returned to the living room upstairs, Newt didn't see Clydons, who followed Li Chuan every time, and asked in some surprise.
Li Chuan poured himself a cup of tea:
"I recently adopted a wizard orphan who helped take care of him at home, and he didn't come over this time."
"You've adopted another child?"
Newt's expression was a little surprised, Li Chuan was only in his twenties, and he hadn't talked about his girlfriend getting married, but he had already adopted two children.
Li Chuan smiled:
"Just like you see those poor magical animals bring them back, I see poor kids sometimes do that.
The child's mother was a wizard who died when she gave birth to him, and his father, a Muggle, had been forced into a family by his mother with a love potion and left after sobering up.
I thought it would be pitiful for him to stay in the Muggle orphanage, so I adopted him, and there was no one in our family anyway. ”
"Tom, you're such a kind man!"
Newt looked at Li Chuan and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
From knowing Li Chuan to the present, Li Chuan feels that he is really a very perfect person, even more perfect than his brother who is a war hero.
"So sometimes I kind of agree with Grindelwald that the law of secrecy is not a very good law, and he always causes some tragedy between wizards and Muggles.
Of course, Grindelwald was too extreme, and it would be nice if Muggles and wizards could one day live together in peace and honor. ”
Li Chuan sighed.
He often brought up this idea in front of Newt because he knew that Newt and Dumbledore were both thinking this way.
You must know that when Dumbledore was young, he also had the ideal of reforming the wizarding world with Grindelwald, but this ideal dissipated in Grindelwald's extreme attitude towards Muggles and the death of his sister.
He wanted Newt and Dumbledore to understand that they were the same kind of people.
Newt nodded in agreement when he heard Li Chuan's exclamation.
He also didn't like the rules and regulations of the Law of Secrecy, which is why he was reluctant to join the Ministry of Magic, but he was not prejudiced against Muggles, such as his friend Jacob, who was a Muggle.
"Newt, I'd like to visit Professor Dumbledore, I wonder if you're free to join us today?"
"Free!"
Newt's eyes lit up suddenly, and he was worried about how to push away his enthusiastic brother and call him the embarrassing thing of eating with the girl he once liked, and now his sister-in-law.
"Dumbledore mentioned you in three of his letters to me, and he would love to meet you."
"Then we'll leave now, it's been a long time since we've been back to Hogwarts."
Li Chuan immediately got up and proposed.
Newt nodded happily and wrote a note for the witch Bonti to send to her brother, and then moved with Li Chuan Phantom to the Leaky Cauldron Bar in Diagon Alley.
There are usually four ways for wizards to get to Hogwarts, one is the Hogwarts Express, but only for young wizards who go to school and teachers who drop by.
The second is the Pegasus carriage, a common method used by a few wealthy wizards and wizards of the Ministry of Magic.
The third is Apparition, but Hogwarts has the world's most powerful anti-apparition charm, which can only be entered on foot outside the school, and not too far away.
The fourth, and most commonly used, is Floo Powder, which normally has a disconnected network at Hogwarts, so you need to go to Hogsmeade first and then walk to Hogwarts.
These four methods are the most used, and some are more alternative, basically belonging to individual cases, such as broomsticks, magic cars, magic motorcycles, and so on.
Li Chuan and Newt chose the fourth, and they apparitioned to the Leaky Cauldron and went directly to Hogsmeade with Floo powder through the bar's fireplace.
Newt's fireplace doesn't have a Floo network, or most wizards' homes don't, otherwise it would be unsafe for someone to come to your house as soon as they call your name.
Unless the family is relatively poor and there is nothing to worry about, then it doesn't matter.
Also, most wizards' gathering places have public fireplaces, such as the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
