Chapter 123 Where are the Fantastic Beasts
Chapter 123 Where are the Fantastic Beasts
"Professor McGonagall, aren't we going to the principal's office?" Joshua was puzzled, and he had followed Professor McGonagall all the way out of Hogwarts Castle.
Professor McGonagall stopped in front of the forest trail at the side gate of the castle, waved his wand, and then the sound of wheels rolling reached Joshua's ears.
It was a carriage, and thestrals walked slowly on four hooves, pulling the carriage and stopping in front of Joshua.
"Professor Dumbledore asked you to go to the station in Hogsmeade Village, where is he now." Speaking, Professor McGonagall took out a letter of guarantee and asked Joshua to sign it.
The content is also relatively simple, just to ensure that Joshua will not run around. Compared with him, he is only a second-year student, and being able to go to Hogwarts Village on weekends is something that only third-year students are allowed.
Although Joshua could run around, he was embarrassed not to sign what Professor McGonagall specified.
This is a piece of parchment that has been enchanted, so long as you wave your wand, you can write your name on it.
Before getting on the train, Joshua didn't understand why Dumbledore was at the station in Hogwarts Village, but Professor McGonagall soon solved some doubts for him.
"I've read the latest issue of "The Quibbler". It was a wonderful experience, but I still want to tell you not to be too reckless when encountering similar things." Professor McGonagall taught sternly, but his eyes But she was relieved, she thought Joshua was a very good Gryffindor.
But Snape always mentioned to her face that Joshua was like a Slytherin.
Joshua boarded the carriage, and the figure of Professor McGonagall was getting smaller and smaller behind him, and there was a large forest on both sides of the road.
At this moment, the carriage was driving on the forest path, which was the nearest place to Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade Village Railway Station.
About half an hour later, the Thestrals pulled the carriage to the Hogsmeade village station, but there was no one on the carriage.
Dumbledore clearly knew that he had the Portkey that could be transferred from the castle to the outside, but he informed Professor McGonagall to let him take the carriage. Isn’t he sincerely finding fault? Joshua didn’t have that much patience in half an hour. The Portkey came to Hogsmeade village.
Joshua walked around Hogsmeade before arriving at the station.
He saw Dumbledore standing on the edge of the platform from a distance, and he seemed to be waiting for someone.
In today's wizarding world, who can make Dumbledore wait in person?
"Professor Dumbledore, here I come." Joshua walked behind him and called out in a steady whisper, he was afraid of frightening the 100-year-old man.
"Oh, here you are." Dumbledore said, turning around.
But when he turned around, Joshua was frightened. Dumbledore was holding a weekly magazine of "The Quibbler" in his hand, and his face was like a prankster, wearing colorful anti-monster glasses.
"Professor, you?" Joshua asked puzzled.
Although he looked down on Dumbledore's eyes, Joshua could clearly see that he was raising his eyebrows.
"Oh, I'm getting old, and I always want to experience the trend of young people." Dumbledore took two steps, but his body was a little swaying. "Oh, I can't see clearly, but I'm still old."
Dumbledore took off his anti-demon glasses, with regret and sadness on his face.
Joshua looked into the distance along the railroad tracks, and could see a smoky train approaching on the distant skyline. "Professor, who are we waiting for here?"
Although the Hogwarts Express train is only used to pick up and drop off Hogwarts students most of the time, this does not mean that the train does not operate normally. Many wizards like to take the train to Hogsmeade Village. After all, Floo For some older wizards, the experience is really unfriendly.
"That was a former student of mine. He said he couldn't wait to run over after seeing something about you in the magazine here," said Dumbledore, raising the "Quieter" in his hand and saying, "He even The letters were written after getting into the car."
"A naysayer?" Joshua thought in his heart, "Could it be because of the siren's matter? Well, it might be Newt Scamander, after all, he must be one of the few in the UK." A wizard who cares about such things."
Joshua and Dumbledore waited at the station for a while, and the train finally stopped on the platform.
Many wizards and witches got off the train, and their purpose was to go to Hogsmeade, the only village in the whole of England full of wizards, and an old man in the crowd attracted Joshua's attention.
He was the only one with a suitcase among all the people. It was a small brown leather suitcase with peeling skin. It looked quite big, but the old man was fine with it.
"Dumbledore!" The old man has short white hair and a shaved beard. Although there are still stubbles, he is much fresher than Dumbledore and full of energy. It is hard to imagine that this is a 98-year-old man .
"It's uncomfortable to travel all the way here, why is the retirement life in Dorset not good?" Dumbledore asked, but he shook hands with the old man and embraced.
"Those are half-human bird sirens. I have been to the Mediterranean Sea many times, but I always pass them by!" The old man became more and more excited as he spoke, and even started to dance. The 12-year-old Hogwarts student is actually domesticated, so I must come and see it!"
"This is him?" The old man saw Joshua beside Dumbledore. At first glance, he almost thought it was a little girl, but when he saw it clearly, he found that there was an unspeakable force in this little wizard. A feeling of ignorance.
"That's right," Dumbledore patted Joshua on the shoulder, pushed him in front of him and said, "Joshua, this must be familiar to you, Newt Scamander, your textbooks are still He wrote it."
Dumbledore's words confirmed Joshua's conjecture. He did not expect that he would actually meet the legendary wizard who defeated Grindelwald today.
"Nice to meet you, Professor Scamander!" Joshua leaned forward and shook hands with him.
"Oh, you're wrong, I'm not your professor." Newt looked down at the little wizard shaking hands with him in front of him, and at Dumbledore beside Joshua.
Presumably, he was a young wizard trained by Dumbledore. Once Dumbledore caught his eye on his good talent and spirit, troubles would be inevitable. After all, Newt himself had experienced it.
Once in the United States, once in France, and once in China XZ, he has been tossing a lot.
Seeing his younger generation like this, Newt, who had been there before, leaned into Joshua's ear and whispered, "Be careful Dumbledore."
Joshua:? ? ? ? ? ?
I'm going to break my promise today, mainly because I had fun with my friends, and then I became lazy. Looking back, I will make up for everything later!
