Chapter 128
Chapter 128
Joshua and Newt returned to Hogwarts after nine o'clock that night. The next morning Newt thought he drank too much last night, and he didn't know how he returned to Hogwarts.
But in fact he didn't drink much, and it was actually Joshua who used the Portkey to bring him back to Hogwarts Castle.
Joshua was brought to the principal's office by Professor McGonagall early in the morning.
Phoenix Fox stood proudly on the bird stand. When Joshua entered the door, he opened one eye slightly and then quickly closed it.
Dumbledore sat at the desk chatting with Newt, and when Joshua walked into the headmaster's room, the two ended their chat.
"Joshua, I called you here today, it's about the siren," Dumbledore said with crossed hands and rested his chin on it. Dumbledore's half-moon glasses reflected a strange light.
"About the Italian Ministry of Magic, they sent a letter, hoping that you can release the siren back to the Mediterranean Sea, after all, that's their home."
Dumbledore planned to persuade Joshua earnestly, but just after finishing a sentence, Joshua agreed decisively.
"Of course I hope so. It's not a good thing for any magical animal to leave the habitat they depend on for survival. I also hope to be able to send the siren back to her hometown." Joshua hesitated as he spoke. Willing but somewhat reluctant.
Although he didn't get along with the siren for a long time, he had the same wisdom as human beings, which caused Joshua to not feel that she was an "animal" but a human being like him when getting along with him.
The two developed a friendship and even a family relationship. Joshua has always regarded the Siren as a little sister. He gave her food, drink and reconciled, and taught her a few human languages, and the Siren also became somewhat dependent on Joshua. .
Joshua felt a little lonely for a while.
Among the people present at the moment, Newt was the one who could understand Joshua's mood best. He put his palm on Joshua's back and said, "Son, I can understand your mood, but no matter how uncomfortable it is, we It is also necessary to make the right choice, the Mediterranean is their homeland, and sending a person who is far away from home is the most correct choice."
Newt seemed to see himself in Joshua, and even his experience was very similar.
He rescued a thunderbird from an Egyptian wizard, named it Frank, and returned it to its native habitat in Arizona.
Newt believes that letting magical animals live in their own habitat is one of the things he must do, and he even wrote in the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
"I know, but she, who used to protect wizards from harm, is hostile to wizards other than me. I can't just let the Aurors of the Italian Ministry of Magic take her back like this." Joshua came to Dumbledore At his desk, begging Dumbledore to give him some more time, Joshua had planned to send the Sirens back during the Christmas break.
Facing Joshua's pleading, Dumbledore didn't know why, but he was unmoved, and he still had that profound look.
"I know this, so I wrote back to the Italian Ministry of Magic, and the students who tame the sirens will personally send them back to the Mediterranean." Dumbledore's deep eyes under half-moon glasses were looking at Joshua, and he didn't know What's on my mind.
"Professor Dumbledore, you mean to let me take Joshua to Italy?" Newt was also curious about Dumbledore's decision.
Newt's answer was affirmed by Dumbledore. He nodded and looked at Newt with relief, "The answer is correct, Hufflepuff will add three points!"
"Joshua, go back and clean up, you're leaving tomorrow!" Dumbledore stood up, pushed a candy into his mouth, and asked Newt and Joshua if they wanted to eat it.
"Leave tomorrow?" Joshua said with his mouth open, "But I only started school for a week!"
Who knows how long it will take to go to Italy?What should I do if the game delays my studies?
Joshua thought for a while, although he didn't have any reason to go to class, but he couldn't agree to Dumbledore so easily, there must be some benefits.
Joshua clasped his hands and fingers together, pretending to be coy and said, "This is not good, I only started school for a week, and I don't know how long it will take to go to Italy, it will delay my studies, and I promised McGonagall The professor goes to her Transfiguration club every week."
"There is nothing wrong with Minerva, but you." The corner of Dumbledore's mouth curved into a smile, and he stretched out his palm towards Joshua, "Give me the one hundred gold Galleon bursary."
"Huh!?" Joshua was overwhelmed by Lao Deng.
"Professor Lockhart had some problems with the magic shampoo he developed in his early years after using it himself. A sad thing happened, so you should give me the one hundred gold Galleon bursary."
Dumbledore first pretended to be sorry, and then kept asking Joshua for a bursary.
"Don't think I don't know who started this rumor."
Dumbledore had a kind smile on his face, but to Joshua it looked more and more like the sinister smile of an old fox.
Joshua was shocked in his heart, "Zhuo, it's broken, and the old bee has grasped the lifeline!"
This is also the first time Newt has seen such an interesting scene. The headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft actually asked a student for a bursary. Was it really not the case?
"In view of what happened to you this time, I don't plan to ask you for a bursary. This money is considered to be the bursary I gave you, and it just offsets it." Dumbledore sat back at the desk with a smirk.
Guessing that he would save Hogwarts another sum of Galleons, Dumbledore was overjoyed.
Joshua savored Dumbledore's words carefully. Although every sentence was full of the teacher's teachings to the students, Joshua felt that something was wrong. After thinking hard, he heard the deeper meaning from Dumbledore's tone. In terms of meaning, everything revolves around those two words "cannibalism".
Amount. Stingy
Joshua cursed in his heart, you old comrade, you actually carried out a sneak attack from here, and you lied to him before!
But on the surface, he could only reluctantly agree.
On the contrary, Newt looked at Joshua and Dumbledore very happily. He was also tricked by Dumbledore several times in the same way. Can he not be happy now that he saw people suffer later?
However, he also knows that those who can be selected by Dumbledore have their unique talents. If these talents are properly guided, a great wizard will appear in the future magic world. Presumably this is also Dumbledore's long-cherished wish. .
There will be many plots about the horse people in the future.
