340 Embrace, basement, Mrs. Tina

The cat and leopard's eyes have the ability of Legilimency and hypnosis: Legilimency allows the cat and leopard to easily read the thoughts in the target's mind. As for hypnosis, this is not a simple ability to make people sleep. It can also make people sleep. People are unable to take independent action and are easily suggestible and controlled - to a certain extent, this is even similar to the Imperius Curse.

These two abilities make the cat and leopard extremely difficult to subdue. Coupled with the powerful body of the cat and leopard, they become almost impossible to kill. Even those who want to face them with a clear mind are unable to do so. Very difficult.

This is why Meadows recommended Karan. With his natural Occlumency alone, he has a big advantage over many wizards.And his strength is not weak. At least he can protect himself. It is enough to help Mr. Newt take the sobering potion in time after he is hypnotized. After getting rid of the hypnotic state, the rest can be handed over. Leave it to the famous magizoologist to deal with it.

The dinner before the holidays ended with the announcement that Hufflepuff had won the House Cup. The cheers of the students almost knocked down the ceiling of the auditorium. The fat monk cried with excitement in front of the students for the first time. He was also a Hufflepuff. Mr. Newt couldn't help but get wet in his eyes - even though he didn't graduate successfully, he still loved his college.

After the dinner, Karan and Steve, who had just been discharged from the hospital, found Mr. Newt in the office.

"It's really touching." Mr. Newt said while wiping his tears with a handkerchief: "This is an honor that Hufflepuff has not received for many years, and it has actually been achieved in your hands."

After Bowtruckle Pickett comforted him for a while, Mr. Newt finally regained his composure.

"Oh, by the way, Karan. So you really agreed? Although I haven't figured out why yet, I believe in Dorcas. But you really don't intend to go back on your word? That's a Cat Leopard, XXXXX level of magic Animals, even a school at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States is named after the Cat Leopard.”

Of course, Karan didn't intend to go back on his word, and even if he wanted to, Steve wouldn't allow it. During the time he was hospitalized, Steve had been dreaming about Karan visiting his home for a long time, and he also had a favor to do. Lan helps him.

"Don't worry, sir." Karan said, "I can't wait to see the cat and leopard with my own eyes."

This is why he called several of them magic seekers—wizards who are always seeking the secrets of magic, and magical animals are no exception.

Steve secretly touched Karan a few times with his fingers, and then Karan continued to add helplessly: "Of course, it would be better if Steve was here too."

Mr. Newt chuckled: "Of course I won't refuse this - provided Tina doesn't object."

Tina is Mr. Newt's wife, Porpontina Goldstein. She is an American half-blood witch who studied at the Thunderbird Academy of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.After graduating from school, she became an Auror at MACUSA.It was not until he met and married Mr. Newt that he moved to Dorset, England.

Obviously, Tina, who has a stern personality, is not as easy to talk to as Mr. Newt, and Steve also told Karan that if Mr. Newt had repeatedly promised not to enter the pyramid in person, Steve would not be able to go to the pyramid during the holiday. I went to Egypt with my father to look for traces of the Sphinx.

"It's all up to you, Karan!"

After leaving the office, Steve shook Callan's arm vigorously in the corridor, rocking his body back and forth.

"You and my dad can't leave me behind, otherwise the three cats and naughty cats at home will bully me to death!" Steve reprimanded in a heavy tone: "And my mother will always stand by them. On the other hand, you never believe what I say!”

Karan pulled his arm out with force, and he flicked Steve's forehead angrily: "That's not because of the nonsense you said - the cat nives actually want to conquer the magical world? But I After observing her for so long, Barian is still quite normal."

Steve muttered in an aggrieved voice: "Who in front of you would dare to behave abnormally and wait for death?"

Karan narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering whether this sentence was a good word or a bad word.

The carnival was still going on in the Hufflepuff common room. When Callan and Steve went back, the two of them were inevitably thrown up again. Anderson was so excited that he almost grabbed Callan's feet and twirled them around. , but fortunately a bottle of pumpkin juice suddenly spilled stopped him.

The carnival lasted until midnight. When the two finally got out of bed the next day, Gaspard had already packed his luggage early.

"See you at the beginning of school," he said calmly.

Unlike Karan and Steve, Gaspard had too many things to be busy with during this holiday. The bottle of mysterious powder alone was enough for him to study for a long time.

Steve still had the excitement of going to see Cat Leopard, so he jumped out of bed and wanted to give Gaspard a big hug.

Gaspard quickly dodged left and right, but was still hugged by Steve.

Karan also walked out of the bed with a smile. Gesper pushed up his glasses reluctantly, and finally told him: "Remember to write to me."

Then it was time to say goodbye. Others had already known that Karan would go to Steve's house. Lily hugged Karan hard before leaving, and then said with some worry: "I hope Cat Leopard is okay."

Karan stared at Snape with a dark face: "Do you want to hug me too? I think it's better to forget it. Anyway, I will return to Hogsmeade Village after the matter is over."

But Snape had already walked up. He didn't hug Karan, but raised the corners of his mouth mockingly: "I hope Mr. Newt is okay."

Karan rolled his eyes tiredly.

No one among these two people is worried about Karan, so what can Cat Leopard do?It's just a magical animal. Can it be more dangerous than a swarm of Acromantulas and werewolves?

The next person to hug Karan was Pandora. She whispered: "I have already written a letter home, and maybe I will also visit Mr. Newt's house. Maybe I can meet you when you come back."

Pandora was referring to the matter of being born a Legilimency. Karan shook hands with her solemnly, and Pandora returned the same serious look.

Then came little Mr. Lovegood. He looked around, and then simply hugged Callan and Steve together.

"I like this way of saying goodbye." He said happily: "See you again when school starts."

After the people dispersed, Regulus sneaked over. He glanced guiltily in the direction of Sirius, and then hurriedly hugged Karan.

"Magic Seeker..." Regulus said sadly at last: "This name sounds much more decent than Ravager, at least it doesn't sound like a bandit."

Karan patted Regulus' shoulder comfortingly.

"Remember to review the Transformation Spell." He showed an inhuman smile: "I will check it when I get back from school."

Regulus's expression became even sadder.

Before finally leaving the school, a notice warning that the use of magic was not allowed during the holidays was sent to every student. Karan took a brief look at it and threw it into the wastebasket - since it was no problem in Hogsmeade Village, Then there will be no problem in other places.

Callan and Steve did not go to the train station like other students. Mr. Newt had already made arrangements for how to get home.

"Of course it depends on it!"

In the deserted field in front of the castle, Mr. Newt opened the suitcase and let Zuowu out. Professor McGonagall, who took the initiative to take on the responsibility of supervision, watched this scene with dissatisfaction. Professor Kettleburn also came, as Newt Mr. Te's good friend, of course he wanted to say goodbye to him properly.

"The Fire Dragon Sanctuary will be my final destination." Professor Kettleburn said in a sullen voice.After seeing the strange expressions on several people's faces, he explained: "It's not as exaggerated as you think, but it's really time for me to retire. Hagrid has also learned a lot from you in this half semester. If you have any questions, you can write to me and he will become a qualified professor."

Hagrid couldn't help but sob loudly. He took out an exaggeratedly large handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He even seemed to want to give Professor Kettleburn a hug.

Professor Kettleburn had the foresight to immediately take a few steps back, as if he had been tortured before.

"Alas..." Professor McGonagall sighed silently, and Mr. Newt also looked at Professor Kettleburn unbearably.

After turning into a werewolf, his life will change drastically.

"There's no need to feel guilty." Professor Kettleburn then said to Karan: "I have arranged everything in advance in the Fire Dragon Sanctuary, so you don't have to cast the humanoid restoration spell. I know it's uncomfortable - after just recovering You knew it when you were in human form. Your face suddenly turned ugly and scary, as if you were about to die."

Karan pursed his lips twice, so he didn't mention the help again - it was really uncomfortable, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask Professor Lear.

In fact, the restoration of human form has failed to some extent. It requires a talented wizard to successfully cast it, and it is far less effective than the Wolfsbane potion. Although the ingredients are very expensive, the Wolfsbane potion is also more effective than the non-humanoid potion. More common than ordinary talents,

Fortunately, the werewolf riot finally subsided with the capture of a large number of werewolves, otherwise Karan would have to pay a lot of attention to this.

"Goodbye then." Mr. Newt said finally. He hugged Professor Kettleburn without hesitation and patted him hard on the back: "I will go to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary to see you if I have the chance. .”

"Okay, come on up, boys."

While Mr. Newt was calming down Zuowu, Steve had already happily climbed onto its back, and Karan also climbed up little by little.

Under the gaze of several people in the open field, Zuowu gradually showed joy as he ran. Then he jumped up under Mr. Newt's slap. A space tunnel immediately appeared in front of him, filled with inexplicable branches. Around the tunnel, this time Karan finally had the intention to carefully appreciate Zuowu's magical ability. Steve proudly grabbed Karan's wrist, and Mr. Newt looked back with a smile.

Finally, Zuowu and a few people jumped to the end of the tunnel - a bamboo forest several times larger than Steve's suitcase. A grass nest was built nearby, filled with birds that had just hatched. Baby snake.Several basin-sized curled-winged demons were flying around them.There are several big guys looking for food in the area on the left. They are shaped like a saber-toothed tiger, but have greasy tentacles around their mouths - horned beasts. They are a group of horned beasts that have successfully reproduced.

Karan looked away, and he suddenly heard a long roar - in the bamboo forest, and even in the deepest part of the entire space, a guy that was too big to look like soared into the sky, and its mouth was still spraying columnar flames - that It is a Ukrainian iron-belly, the largest fire dragon.

Callan finally understood why Mr. Newt dared to return to Dorset directly through Zuowu.

"This is the basement of my house!" Steve reached out and grabbed a Winged Demon. He turned around excitedly and said, "How do you think? It looks good, doesn't it?"

"Not bad." Karan nodded slightly, with a strange light shining in his eyes: "It couldn't be better."

At this time, before Mr. Newt had time to get off Zuowu, he stared at the Ukrainian Iron Belly flying in the distance and sighed: "Why is the fight starting again? Who is it this time? Chimera or Sang. Poison leopard?"

"Steve, you take Karan to the bedroom to put the luggage away first. I have informed Tina in advance. She knows you will come over today."

Steve grabbed a Winged Demon and slowly floated to the ground. After Karan also landed on the ground with his luggage, Mr. Newt asked Zowu to take him to the location of the Ukrainian Iron Belly.

"There's no rush to go back." Steve couldn't help but share everything with Karan. He took Karan's arm and said, "I'll take you on a tour first. Except for some dangerous areas, this place can be considered a tourist attraction." Where I grew up.”

As a family from the magical world, it was difficult for Karan to imagine that there was a more luxurious basement than this one - he was not even sure whether he could see the boundaries of the basement - he could not find it in Steve's suitcase. There will be such doubts that the traceless stretching spell there is far less advanced than here.

Some of the crocodiles flew away with Mr. Newt, and the remaining smaller ones were still surrounding Steve - they would always knock Steve's body upside down, and they would still be in their mouths. Drooling constantly.

"Look how much they like me!" Steve's face was full of pride, and Karan had secretly tightened his wand. He couldn't help but drive away all these winged demons.

When they walked to the edge of the bamboo forest, they saw several tall trees. A group of Bowtruckles shyly looked at Karan, a strange guest. Steve waved to them familiarly and pronounced each one accurately. Bowtruckle's name.

Countless golden "leaves" floated from the nearby area, and they rose up one after another, mixing with the vixens, seven-star ladybugs and grindylows floating in the air.

The poisonous leopard stood on a boulder, and Karan stared at the spikes on its neck in surprise - fortunately it did not exhale poisonous gas, and it seemed that the one who was in conflict with the Ukrainian Iron Belly should be another Chimaira. .

The ball escapers chirped past the feet of the two of them, and they cast a short-distance phantom spell to avoid the poisonous leopard's boring manipulations.

On a large stone slab illuminated by the moonlight, there is a group of small moon-crazed beasts - they are shy and have big eyes that take up the entire face.But his eyes were full of friendliness and hope. Steve especially liked these moon-crazy beasts and had been intimate with them for a long time.

Then they came to a cave, where they saw a large group of rune snakes, and there seemed to be a huge shadow moving slowly deep in the cave - Steve introduced that it was in this basement. The largest rune snake is bigger than the basilisk in the secret room - this is not easy, because among the three heads of the rune snake, the planner on the left and the dreamer in the middle often work together to bite the one on the right. Critics say that it is precisely because the three heads attack each other that the lifespan of the rune snake is not long.

"There is a lake over there!" Steve became more and more enthusiastic as he played. He pointed to the area near the cave and said loudly: "There is a horse-shaped water monster living in the lake. How about it? Do you want to go swimming? It will take it with you. Let’s have some fun.”

But before Karan nodded in agreement, a figure suddenly walked into the cave angrily.

"Steve Scamander!"

Mrs. Tina was holding a spatula in her hand and wearing an apron with a cat-nives pattern on her body. She scolded angrily: "Are you still having lunch? I've been waiting for you in the living room for a long time!"

Steve's face suddenly turned pale, and just at this moment, the three heads of the rune snakes started to fight again. Mrs. Tina immediately rushed over angrily and violently opened the heads with her palms. , and slapped them hard several times with a spatula.

"Stop messing around!" she warned: "Otherwise no one will have anything to eat!"

The largest rune snake deep in the cave immediately hissed several times, and then all the little snakes were quieted down.

"My dear, are you Karan?" After looking back, Mrs. Tina's tone suddenly became much gentler: "I have heard Steve talking about you for a while, and Gespard, how can he Didn’t you come together?”

"He...he still has something to do." After seeing Mrs. Tina's fierce look, Karan said in a panic. Even he would not think of fighting the rune snake with his body, at least You also have to rely on magic...

"Let's go, children." Mrs. Tina said vigorously. Before leaving, she glared at the group of rune snakes several times. She waved the spatula in her hand upwards, and the little snakes immediately scurried back. Deep in the cave, I didn't dare to make a sound.

The two of them followed Mrs. Tina out of the basement. After arriving at the house, the place seemed much normal.

"There are quite a few Muggle neighbors nearby." Steve explained in a low voice: "We can't let them see too many differences."

Callan followed Steve to his bedroom, where there were many more traces of magic - presumably the Scamanders would not let their Muggle neighbors visit Steve's bedroom.

Various materials obtained from magical animals filled the entire large cabinet, and Karan also saw a large ball of white hair - which should have originated from the invisible beast.There were also several Quidditch team posters hanging on the walls, with the players inside waving their palms at the two of them.Books related to magical animals were placed on a desk, and several seemed to want to bite each other, making various imitated growls from time to time.Several sets of collected chocolate frog pictures were carefully stored in transparent glass boxes. Judging from the wrinkles, Steve would often take them out to play with, and the set he gave to Karan was the latest. of.

Now Steve is pushing the three cats lying on his bed - they are named Hobby, Milly and Moller.Judging from their indifferent looks, bullying Steve seemed to be more than just a joke.

After struggling for a long time, Steve snorted angrily. He sat helplessly at the foot of the bed and stared at Karan pitifully.

Karan glanced at the three cats. He put down the luggage in his hands, but instead of using magic to resolve the struggle as usual, he sat down at the foot of the bed with Steve.

"Let's forget it." Karan said with a smile: "At least you have someone to accompany you to be bullied."

Steve pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, as if he was angry that Karan didn't stand up for him.

But after Callan stared at him up and down for a while, Steve couldn't help but chuckle.

The cats and cats opened their eyes one by one to glance at this scene, and then they all turned over and slept more soundly.
