Chapter 55: The Scourge of Fantastic Beasts

After Halloween, it's November, and the cold weather makes the little wizards more and more reluctant to get out of bed.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Kyle, who had changed into a thick robe, yawned and came to the auditorium to prepare breakfast.

When the owls swarmed into the auditorium as usual, the broomstick that Cedric had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived, and just as he had expected, a light wheel 1700.

"It's amazing, Cedric, it's amazing." A senior Hufflepuff player excitedly patted Cedric on the shoulder and said, "You're a Seeker, and with this Halo 1700, the gap between us and Slytherin is much smaller."

I've seen their Seeker strength, and seriously, not much better than a troll that can ride a broomstick. ”

By the way, Hufflepuff's first Quidditch match was played against Slytherin.

Originally, they were a little worried that the equipment gap was too big, but suddenly there was such good news.

A light wheel of 1700 is not enough to boost their morale, but with Cedric, the Seeker, it is different.

In a training match, Cedric's fastest catch was five minutes to catch the Golden Snitch, and he was just seconds away from breaking the record for the fastest Seeker at Hogwarts.

With a top-of-the-line broom and a talented Seeker, none of the Hufflepuff players knew how they were going to lose.

Could it be that Slytherin could still lead them by 150 points in five minutes?

No kidding.

Kyle was also happy, and although he wasn't involved, it would be nice if the house could win a Quidditch Cup.

He turned his head to look at Cedric's brand-new light wheel, until there was a tingling in his fingers, and he realized that there was an owl parked in front of him.

"Sorry little guy, I didn't notice."

Kyle hurriedly took out a Motra rat jerky and fed it to the other party, before taking the letter from its paw and reading it.

"Dear Kyle,

I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you, because I've been really busy lately, I always thought I had replied to you, and it wasn't until this morning that I found that unfinished letter in the office, I hope you can forgive me.

We also received the Galleon you sent, and I'm proud of you, kid, I wasn't that good in the first grade.

Besides, your mother asked me to tell you that she had taken your Galleon, but don't even think about the broom.

But she has something else for you, and I'll be able to send it to you in two days, I hope you like it.

That's it, have a great time at Hogwarts.

- Your father, Chris. ”

After reading the letter, the light in Kyle's eyes visibly vanished.

Although he had long guessed that Diana was not as easy to deceive as Mr. Diggory, Kyle was still disappointed after seeing the results.

And it's the result of being so late.

He sent the letter in early September, and now it's November to reply, what the hell is Chris busy with, and he can not return to the office for two months.

Uncle Newt is on a trip?

Just as Kyle was wondering, Cedric suddenly slapped a Daily Prophet in front of him.

"Look, Kyle, something is wrong, no wonder it took so long for my dad to mail me the broomstick."

On the front page of the Daily Prophet is a picture of many magical animals, but they are all locked up.

Next to the photo is a bold caption.

Fantastic Beasts Calamity

According to relevant sources, on September 3 of this year, the Ministry of Magic's striker accidentally missed when he captured a group of magical beast smugglers, causing a large number of smuggled magical beasts to flee in all directions. This even includes three highly dangerous magical beasts defined as Class XXXXX.

We still don't understand why the striker made such a low-level mistake, or why the Ministry of Magic would hide it.

"This is to avoid causing panic in the wizarding world." Connelly Fudge, Minister of Magic, said this morning, "We've captured most of the Magical Beasts, and no wizards have died in the meantime. ”

The veracity of this result is unknown.

However, Chris Chopper, a spokesman for the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control at the Ministry of Magic, said in an interview that with the help of Mr. Newt Scamander, almost all of the escaped magical animals, including the Australian Protein Eye and the Cyst Leopard, have been successfully captured.

However, there is still a curled wing demon whose whereabouts are still unknown.

He appealed to everyone that the Winged Demon was highly dangerous, and that if they saw it, they must flee immediately, and shoot a red warning spell into the sky, and the Beast Office and the Aurors would come to their aid as quickly as possible. ”

After reading it, Kyle finally understood what Chris was up to.

Judging from the photos, there are about fifty or sixty magical beasts that have been caught, which is already the largest magical beast smuggling case in the British wizarding world in the past thirty years.

But that's not the point, the point is the poison pouch leopard.

Kyle wonders how they managed to get their hands on the Leopard.

Not only is it agile, but even the exhaled air is poisonous, and it can easily destroy a village.

Let's put it this way, the Ministry of Magic makes it clear in its description that under normal circumstances, it would take more than a hundred skilled wizards to subdue a poisonous leopard.

Although there is a certain amount of exaggeration, it is enough to show its danger, you must know that it only takes ten wizards to subdue the fire dragon.

"Luckily, it was the Winged Demon who ran away." Kyle sighed heartily.

It's not that he looks down on the Winged Demon.

The Winged Demon is also defined as 5X, but that's only because it's up to par for dangerousness.

The Leopard is defined as 5X because the Ministry of Magic has a rating of only 5X.

The two are not at the same level at all.

The other seniors, or those who had some knowledge of Fantastic Beasts, such as Cedric and others, all nodded in agreement after hearing Kyle's words.

As for the other young wizards, they didn't know much about magical beasts, and were more concerned about the escaped curling winged demon.

The words "highly dangerous" in the newspaper do not look like alarmists.

"Good thing we're at Hogwarts." At this time, someone rejoiced, "With Dumbledore here, we will definitely not be harmed." ”

His statement was quickly unanimously affirmed by everyone.

yes, with Dumbledore here, what else do they need to worry about?

The atmosphere at the table suddenly became a lot more lively.

But it didn't last long, and soon it was quiet again.

Then a little wizard suddenly stood up, and without even taking care of breakfast, ran straight in the direction of the owl shed.

At his reminder, the others also reacted and stood up one after another, some ran towards the owl shed, and some rushed directly back to the dormitory.

The originally bustling auditorium soon ran out of people.
