Hogwarts: Please Graduate Soon

When Wayne and others went to the Thunderbird's nest, the undercurrent beneath the calm surface also became turbulent.

Like unicorns, ptarmigans are full of treasures, and the places with the most ptarmigans around the world are in protected areas in Arizona.

In normal times, most poachers have no idea.

Just from the perspective of pure combat effectiveness, an adult thunderbird cannot be dealt with by three or five ordinary wizards. Even well-trained wizards need more than ten to defeat it.

Even if they can't be beaten, the unique talents of thunderbirds make them very difficult to capture.

Wizards rarely master flying magic, let alone use other attack spells while flying.

With the help of a broomstick to pursue, the Thunderbird can also control the weather and summon thunder to help him go calmly.

There is only one period that is special, and that is the period when Thunderbirds give birth to their babies.

The female bird's vitality is severely damaged, her combat effectiveness and agility are greatly weakened, and in order to protect her wife, the male bird will not escape easily, so this is the best opportunity to capture her.

Even though many people know that Aurors and people from the Magical Congress of the United States will come to maintain law and order and protect the Thunderbirds, people and money are at the expense of "a large number of poachers still come to try their luck every year."

You can make a small profit by picking up scraps, and you can make a big profit by killing a thunderbird and looting their bodies.

If you can capture a juvenile thunderbird, or take away an egg and hatch it successfully, you basically don't have to worry about galleons in this life.

In the dense woods, several hooded soldiers gathered in a temporarily dug cave.

Their hoods were all enchanted. From the outside, it looked like a chaotic darkness, and it was impossible to figure out the identity of the people inside.

These people stood at a certain distance from each other, and they were obviously not from the same group.

"Twenty-three Aurors and fourteen scholars, many of whom also have considerable combat effectiveness."

A slightly hoarse voice came: "With such a powerful force, do you still have to carry out the original plan?"

"Of course." A wizard standing at the end said casually: "Our target is not the Aurors, nor the experts, just the Thunderbirds."

"As long as you get it and leave quickly, it's enough. You can only face five or six people at the same time.

It was still the same hoarse voice: "Newt Scamander is here too."

There was sudden silence in the cave, and the atmosphere became a little tense.

Many people raised their heads, and someone asked: "Is the news true?"

"Someone saw him appearing in the Flame Tavern with a child beside him. He is probably his descendant."

Newt Scamander.

This name is louder in the poacher circle than in the outside world.

They hunt magical creatures, Newt protects magical creatures, and the two sides inevitably have to deal with each other.

Scamander is very strong. He is the last wizard to survive a real wizard war. He has rich combat experience and is no worse than a veteran Auror.

Poachers are powerful in numbers, and even veteran Aurors are usually not afraid due to their numerical advantage.

But the terrifying thing about Scamander is not his own strength, but the suitcase that almost never leaves his body.

You never know what's going to come out of that weird box.

The best example is that fifteen years ago, hundreds of poachers from all over the world gathered in Heizhou, just to capture a pair of wild poisonous molds.

As a result, Scamander came, opened the box, and released two chimera beasts, a voluptuous bat, three fire dragons, and a dozen poison horned beasts.

The result of that battle was that three poachers died on the spot, and more than 20 people were arrested, many of whom were missing arms and legs. Fortunately, they managed to escape.

From then on, wherever Newt appeared, these poachers would be extremely cautious.

Once the momentum goes bad, immediately disapparate and run away.

The same goes for these poachers. After hearing Scamander's name, some of them started to retreat.

"Afraid of what he will do." It was still the same frivolous voice just now, but now it has become gritted.

"There's still time. I'll call some people over. As long as I can catch a baby thunderbird, I'll leave immediately!"

"If you can't show enough strength, I will withdraw from this operation." After speaking in a hoarse voice, he immediately apparated away.

After he left, several more people disappeared.

And on another mountain not far away, the hooded man who had just led the departure appeared again, and there was another wave of people waiting for him.

Take off the hood, revealing a rough face.

Someone asked aloud: "Simmons, what's going on? Did that idiot Dylan fall for it?"

Simmons, the hooded man, sneered: "Of course, he has already gone back to call for help, which can reduce our pressure a lot."

"Damn Scamander, if he hadn't interfered, we wouldn't be in such trouble."

"I heard that he brought a little brat, and if we have the chance to kill him, we will regard it as our revenge.

"OK!"

Several other people showed fierce looks.

With the help of the Thunderbird, Wayne and the others quickly arrived at the Thunderbird's nest on the top of the mountain.

The closer we get here, the more intense the lightning in the sky becomes.

Although they are birds and have the habit of building nests, thunderbirds are too big. Their nests are not in trees, but in caves.

Wayne jumped off the ptarmigan and petted its head as a reward.

Newt said with a smile. "Thanks to you, Wayne, we saved a lot of effort."

Several others nodded in agreement.

"Lawrence, are you interested in transferring to Beauxbatons?" Madame Maxime fell in love with Wayne more and more, and directly extended an invitation:

"As long as you transfer to another school, all the capitals in the school will be open to you. I will also recommend Nico Flamel. You should know that he is the greatest alchemist in the world and has lived for more than six hundred years."

"After graduation, I will also introduce you to the Ministry of Magic, and you will soon reach a high position. Even becoming the Minister of Magic is not a luxury. y

Maxim actually winked mischievously: "By the way, there are many beauties in our school, and there is even a mixed-race Veela."

"Maxim!" Rafzi quickly jumped out to interrupt her, even changing his title to his surname:

"I think Mr. Lawrence is more suitable to come to Ilvermorny."

Ravzi looked at Wayne eagerly: "Mr. Lawrence, as long as you are willing to join Ilvermorny, you can choose from the school's four colleges. We also have huge influence in the Magical Congress of the United States."

"I also have a daughter, who is definitely the most beautiful girl in the academy, no worse than a pure-blood Veela."

"Ravqi." Maxim frowned: "This is so ungentlemanly, I was the one who sent the invitation first.

"There is no such thing as first come, first served." Ravzi waved his hand, "I just think Ilvermorny is more suitable for Mr. Lawrence's development.

"Look at his relationship with Thunderbird. He was born to be a student of Thunderbird Academy!"

Under Newt's dull gaze, the two actually started to quarrel.

There must be a vision when a capable person appears. If nothing else, being able to make the King of Thunderbirds so close and obedient to Wayne is already quite extraordinary.

What's more, Newt just pointed out that Wayne has the same animal affinity as him.

Even if you are not good at magic, you can become the next Scamander with this talent.

If we don’t dig now, when will we wait?

"Wait!" After a while, when he saw that the two people not only did not stop, but the quarrel became more and more intense, Newt finally came to his senses and said quickly:

"Who said Wayne is going to transfer schools? He loves Hogwarts. He is a born Hufflepuff."

"Wayne isn't going anywhere!"

If Dumbledore knew that Wayne was just here for a visit and was abducted by another school...

Will you go straight to New York [carrying the Elder Wand to have a heart-to-heart talk with him]?

No, Sprout will probably come to kill him too. Hufflepuff finally has a genius who is definitely the treasure of the entire academy.

Newt looked at Wayne for help, signaling for him to refuse immediately.

Wayne mused

After a while, he said quietly: "Is it really beautiful?"

ha?

Newt was completely dumbfounded.

Wayne couldn't help but smile while watching Uncle Newt's performance.

"Just kidding, Ms. Maxim, Mr. Rafzi, I am very satisfied with my stay at Hogwarts and have no thoughts of changing schools."

"Thank you for your love, too."

"We can discuss it again." The two of them were still a little unwilling to give up, but Newt was already afraid, so he pulled Wayne and ran away.

A tent was simply set up, and instead of sleeping here, the two got into Newt's box.

In fact, the trap door in Newt's house was turned into a box. Before leaving, he cast a transformation spell to restore it to its original state, so he could just pick it up and leave.

"Wayne, don't be fooled by these two, Hogwarts is the most suitable school for you."

Before going to bed, Newt didn't forget to remind Wayne, which made him dumbfounded.

He was just skinny.

but.

Half-blood Veela

Wayne remembered that Fleur also had a younger sister, who was two mixed-blood Veela.

What a double joy!

At the same time, Hermione, who was vacationing in Provence, and Qiu, who was vacationing at a relative's house, shivered at the same time.

The next day.

Newt and Wayne got to work.

During the reproductive period, the female bird's body will become weak, and the injuries suffered in the past may also break out. Newt needs to help check.

"Take these potions." Newt took out more than ten bottles and jars at once, filled them with blue liquid, and handed them to Wayne.

"This is a nutrient solution to replenish nutrients for the ptarmigan. Laying eggs is a laborious task for the ptarmigan."

"Wayne, it's all up to you whether you can succeed or not."

These nutrient solutions were all prepared urgently yesterday morning.

It's not that I didn't think of it before, but I simply didn't have the ability to feed it to the thunderbirds.

During the laying period, the thunderbird is extremely vigilant. Except for her husband, any creature that wants to get close to her will face a violent attack.

Only Wayne's performance yesterday gave Newt a glimmer of hope.

If the thunderbirds can be allowed to absorb these nutrient solutions, the success rate of hatching eggs can also be improved.

The two rode broomsticks to the nearest nest.

A slightly smaller ptarmigan than yesterday blocked the door, and it behaved very affectionately when it saw Wayne.

When Wayne expressed that he wanted to feed his wife something to eat, he moved out of the way without saying a word.

Newt also used his light to sneak in, but he couldn't get close to the female bird lying in the nest. Two pairs of sharp eyes were staring at him.

I could only watch as Wayne approached me alone, touching here and there.

"Just feed her two bottles." Newt whispered, fearing that the sound would be too loud and cause misunderstanding.

Wayne can open the lid and cleverly use shapeshifting to turn the jar into a large bowl for the Thunderbirds to eat.

He sniffed it and found that it was mixed with a lot of dragon blood.

Dragon's blood is the best supplement for most magical creatures.

The two bottles of nutrient solution were quickly consumed, and the female bird

His condition improved a lot, and he lowered his head and nuzzled Wayne affectionately.

He also took the opportunity to collect a lot of scattered feathers and broken eggshells, and then walked out with Newt.

"This is really incredible." Even though Newt had speculations, he still felt bizarre after it actually happened.

"You are the first person I know who could get close to a thunderbird during its pregnancy."

"I have better luck." Wayne made an excuse at random, but he couldn't explain it very well.

Newt smiled and did not continue the topic.

For a whole morning, the two of them supplemented the nutrient solution for five ptarmigans that were about to lay eggs. Two of them had other complications. Newt also prepared the corresponding potion and asked Wayne to help feed them.

When they returned to the camp, they were followed by three small Thunderbirds 777.

The little ptarmigan was just born and was about the same size as an eagle. It chirped around Wayne and refused to leave.

Newt felt a little envious.

In the past, he was the one surrounded by magical animals, but everything changed after Wayne appeared.

"What else do we need to do next?"

"Just wait, wait until it's over, check it again, and then we can leave.

"Will it take a long time?" Wayne asked again. He was afraid of missing the first day of school, in which case he would have to take leave.

"No need." Newt shook his head: "Two days at most is enough. If we're lucky, we can go back to New York for New Year's Day.

In the afternoon, Newt set up the barbecue and took out two prime ribs from the suitcase.

The two of them were eating and chatting. Newt said that when he first came to the United States, he caused trouble by releasing a ptarmigan.

The most important thing is getting to know Tina.

Halfway through the meal, Maxim, Rafe and Lester also came.

Wayne glanced at Lester.

This person hasn't said a word since yesterday. How can he still be a professor?

Teaching in sign language?

Maxim also asked Wayne if he could sell her some of the materials he had just picked up.

Wayne thought about it and decided to sell part of it to her.

Beauxbatons has a great influence on France, Spain, and several nearby countries, and it is also very beneficial for him to have a good relationship with Maxim.

A real great wizard must not only have strong strength, but also have a corresponding influence.

Wayne also needs to accumulate his own network of contacts.

But he won't deliberately please people, just sell some at the normal price, and Sparton is not a student who is short of money.

Both parties are happy with this.

As night falls, a series of calls come from each ptarmigan nest.

This is different from laying an egg, and the whole process probably lasts a few hours.

The storm in the sky became more and more violent, and Wayne took a hatch. It seemed that he would not be able to sleep tonight.

He took out a bottle of concentration potion and handed it to Newt.

The old man is getting older, and the invigorating medicine is too strong and not suitable for him. A slightly softer concentration medicine is just right.

Newt thanked him and drank the blue liquid in one gulp.

He also took out a notebook and recorded something.

Sudden.

A series of magic fireworks burst into the sky from the foot of the mountain, and they could see it clearly from a high place.

Rafqi's face changed slightly.

"Poachers are here, don't worry, the Aurors will take care of it."

There was no change in the expressions of Newt and Maxim. They had both experienced strong winds and waves, and this movement was not worth their shock.

But then, the battle got louder and louder, with flames shooting into the sky, spells flying, and the explosion of phantom disembodiment could be heard from time to time.

Just when Maxim frowned and wanted to say something.

Without warning, Lester drew his wand and pointed it at her.

"AvadaKedavra!"
