261 The most mysterious magic, Mr. Newt
"It seems like the sobering agent has no effect anymore."
After struggling to feed the chick a small spoonful of potion, Karan looked at the other four people and said: "But we can at least rule out the two potions, sleeping potion and living hell potion. The chick is not affected by these two reasons. He has been unconscious."
The four of them nodded in unison, each with a red mark on their forehead.
But except for Karan, none of them knew how to cast a healing spell, so they could only pretend not to see anything.
Steve carefully picked up the baby bird and placed it on the blue flames on the other side.
The bluebell flame will not pose a threat to the Phoenix chicks. This is something they have verified long ago. They will also put it on top of the flame on weekdays, and Karan will replenish it when it is about to extinguish.
"Then what potion should I prepare next?"
Snape asked with a frown, but his brows soon relaxed and he quietly rubbed his forehead.
Karan's beating was not light at once.
"Perhaps we can choose a potion that has nothing to do with the coma effect." Gaspard analyzed calmly: "The Living Hell Decoction is the most powerful coma potion. If the sobriety potion is useless, we should abandon this direction. "
After a pause, he guessed again: "What about the direction of black magic?"
"Whether it's the curse in the Egyptian pyramids or the Death Eaters, it must be related to black magic. This is also the most likely reason why the Phoenix chick was injured."
"Dark magic..." Snape frowned again.
But this time, he seemed to have forgotten the pain on his forehead and did not let go.
Snape glanced at Lily cautiously, looking a little guilty.It wasn't until he saw that Lily didn't react that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this matter had rarely been mentioned among the few since the beginning of this semester, Snape had been deliberately avoiding the topic to avoid another quarrel.
Lily really didn't react. She didn't even hear clearly what Gaspard was saying. She just stared at the chicks on the flames silently.
"Maybe the problem is not with the potion." She suddenly murmured softly.
"What does this mean?" Karan looked over immediately.
Lily suddenly flinched. Karan's attack was so fast just now that no one could escape his head.
Gaspard's reaction was much calmer than hers, and the red mark on his forehead was even the deepest.
"You mean the core of your wand?" He asked thoughtfully: "Did the phoenix tail feathers bring you any special feelings?"
"It's possible..." Lily did not give a definite answer. Instead, she picked up an old copy of the Daily Prophet.
This was the newspaper where Phoenix "Spark" was injured, which they borrowed from the library.
Lily stared at the report without speaking.
Although several people had read it many times, no one bothered her.
Because she is the only one whose staff core is a phoenix tail feather.
After a while, Lily finally said: "Maybe even [Fire] is not a complete treatment."
"You mean they are hiding it on purpose?" Karan asked with a frown.
"Not really." Lily shook her head slightly: "It's just that it's too easy to be ignored."
After saying these incomprehensible words, she looked up at a few people.
"It's so easy that they forget the fact that sparks have their own owners."
"Master?" Snape looked at Kinch, who was sitting quietly on the grass, his chin twitching.
"What does this have to do with the master?"
"It's just a guess." Lily said: "After all, phoenixes are extremely rare, and few people can successfully tame them. Even wizards with wand cores made of phoenix feathers are rare."
Then she began to recount the contents of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them": "[The reason why the Phoenix received the XXXX rating is not because it is aggressive, but because few wizards have successfully tamed it.]"
Then she continued: "You know, there are only two phoenixes that we know of that have been successfully tamed so far, one is Spark, and the other is Principal Dumbledore's phoenix."
"I haven't seen Fox yet." Steve said sadly.
"Just wait until you are called to the principal's office." Gaspard patted his shoulder and comforted him expressionlessly: "After you make a mistake."
Steve turned his head away angrily, humming and saying nothing.
"But this has nothing to do with whether it has an owner?" Karan asked puzzledly, ignoring the drama between the two.
"That's why I said this is just a guess." Lily whispered, she was not sure whether this direction was correct.
Just when a few people were frowning, Steve suddenly hummed twice deliberately, which clearly meant: I know, come and ask me!
But in front of the expressionless approach of Gaspard and the inexplicable floating of several glass bottles, Steve immediately covered his head and confessed: "Lily's idea is correct, and it may even be correct!"
"Say it!" Karan pretended to be vicious and shook the glass bottle twice in front of Steve.
"I said, I said!"
Steve said aggrievedly, but then he immediately became angry.
"Don't forget, what is kept in the basement of my house!"
"Not just XXXX level magical animals, there are even three XXXXX!"
"Are you threatening me with them?" Karan asked with strange eyes.
"Of course not!" Steve quickly took a few steps back and whispered again: "Of course not before you go to my house..."
Karan rolled his eyes unabashedly.
"In short," Steve coughed twice and said, "You must know that not only phoenixes, but also many other high-level magical animals are difficult to tame."
"For example, the poisonous leopard."
When he mentioned magical animals, his expression immediately became serious.
"Considered to be the most dangerous magical animal alive in the world, the Venomous Leopard is a large but silent creature. They are difficult to subdue - requiring the combined efforts of at least a hundred wizards, let alone taming. "
"One hundred?" Lily said in surprise, "How is this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible." Steve said: "Because the breath exhaled by the poisonous leopard is highly poisonous and can cause fatal diseases, enough to destroy the entire village."
"Then how did Meadows successfully defeat it?" Snape asked curiously. He had not forgotten what Steve said on the train: Meadows defeated all the XXXXX-level magical animals in the basement head-on.
"I don't know about that." Steve shook his head and said, "At least it's impossible for her to suddenly conjure up 99 other wizards. We didn't entertain that many people for dinner that day."
"And that's why I told you to stay away from her."
He suddenly shouted angrily at Karan and Gaspard: "I have already told you that she is very powerful, but you still insist on provoking her!"
"Okay, okay." Seeing that the topic was getting further and further away, Karan quickly spread his hands and said, "She has already resigned anyway."
"However," he asked instead: "If the poisonous leopard is really so dangerous, how do you raise it? Do you raise it alone? After all, even the gas it exhales is highly toxic."
"No." Steve said carelessly: "At least I have never seen the gas it exhaled poison anyone. Otherwise, I might have died when I was five years old."
"Of course, it could be earlier."
"Is that because of Mr. Newt's communication skills?" Gespard didn't have any thoughts because Steve almost died young. He still analyzed like a ruthless machine: "What if Mr. Newt and Fantastic Beasts have a relationship with each other?" If his communication ability is really that strong, then he should be able to better control the Poison Leopard."
"As incredible as it is to control your breathing..."
He stared directly at Steve, as if he had suddenly discovered some treasure, with great interest in his eyes.
As Mr. Newt's child, Steve also showed this special communication ability. Lily knew this very well. Ever since Steve appeared in the potion preparation room, she would not bring Barian to the potion preparation room. Here it comes.
However, Steve's answer surprised everyone.
"It's just a reason," he said, hiding behind Karan and avoiding Gespard's gaze.
"That's even just one of the causes."
“That’s something my dad mentioned when I was little.”
He tried his best to imitate Mr. Newt's tone, which was no different from his usual appearance, but seemed much more steady.
"[Special talents give us powerful abilities, but we should not be unscrupulous, but use them wisely to protect these lovely magical animals.]"
"[This is a responsibility for us, Steve.]"
When saying this, Steve raised a palm, as if he wanted to imitate Mr. Newt's action at that time.
Karan glared at Steve, not letting his palm fall on her.
Steve finally had to pat himself twice.
"[Although this responsibility cannot be avoided, we should not feel regretful about it.]"
"[Because this is a wonderful thing.]"
At this time, Steve's tone suddenly changed into a milky voice, and several people were stunned for a while before they came back to their senses. He was imitating his childhood appearance.
"Of course magical animals are wonderful existences! It's just that I don't like the cats and cats at home. Mom's favorite ones have always been them, not me!"
Steve's tone became steady again.
"[Don't let your mother hear this, and you must remember that pocket money cannot measure the value of love, otherwise I will not be spared.]"
"Isn't it natural? Of course my mother loves me more than you!"
Steve was suddenly silent for a while.
After seeing Karan's confused gaze, he whispered: "My father and I were like this at that time, please don't disturb me."
"Okay...Okay." They didn't expect that Steve was actually addicted to acting and made them watch a family drama. Professor Prewett really should have chosen him as the protagonist.
After a long silence, Steve finally spoke again.
This time, he still used a steady voice.
"[Ahem, I believe your mother still loves us more.]"
"[And that's exactly what I'm about to tell you."
"[This special talent puts us on the back of responsibilities, but it also makes us better at dealing with the existence we love.]"
"[The most important thing is that it allows us to see the most mysterious place of magic.]"
"What kind of magic is that?"
The four of them knew that Steve was imitating his own voice when he was a child, but they did not disturb him. Instead, they held their breath and listened carefully to his next answer.
Steve looked at the four of them with a warm smile on his face.
"【is love.】"
The four of them were stunned.
For a while, no one spoke.
It wasn't until a long time passed that Karan suddenly murmured softly.
"Oops......"
