While the Nungu leopard's attention was on Kyle, Newt came behind it and began to push and rub its belly.
After about ten minutes, the Nangdu leopard shuddered and stood up suddenly.
And under it, there was a small poisonous leopard covered with mucus.
As the little guy began to move, the mucus that wrapped around it like an eggshell was quickly thrown aside.
The Nangdu leopard lowered its head and licked it affectionately with its tongue.
But I don’t know if it was the first time it did this and it had no experience, so it used a little more force and the little guy’s face was deformed by the licks.
"Huh...finally done!" Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.
After talking for so long, his throat was almost smoking.
Kyle looked back at Fox, who was looking for the pint of tears he had ordered.
Needless to say, the result was that he was hit back by Fox's wing.
"Stingy..." Kyle muttered and stood up.
"Don't worry, it's not over yet."
Newt reminded, "There should be one more."
Kyle then noticed that the Nangdu leopard's belly was still bulging.
About an hour later, when the third little leopard was born successfully, it was finally over.
Newt wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved in a direction not far away.
A larger Nungu leopard came running over quickly, holding a fat Tebo warthog leg in its mouth.
"They are all healthy." Newt smiled and put the little guy in his hand aside, then left quietly with Kyle.
Unlike his resistance when he came here, on the way back, Kyle would look back every few steps, his eyes full of reluctance.
"No, Kyle!"
"I know what you're thinking. Absolutely not."
Newt said seriously: "I agreed to let you take Norbert to school because I believe you can control him and prevent him from running out of the box.
But the little venomous leopards are different. They can't control their own poison. This is too dangerous, not only for you, but also for everyone in the castle."
Others don’t understand, but doesn’t he understand?
The look in Kyle's eyes just now was the same as when Sniff saw the gold coins. The meaning was too obvious.
He definitely wants to take a little one away!
"I, I know..." Kyle scratched his head, "I'm just thinking about it, I don't plan to really do it."
He was of course well aware of how dangerous the Nangdu leopards were, so he certainly couldn't bring them to school.
Besides, the two big ones were right next to them, so he couldn't take them away even if he really wanted to.
Despite saying this, Newt subconsciously quickened his pace, feeling as if he was carrying a time bomb.
By the time the two of them walked out of the box, the sky was already slightly brighter.
They were busy all night.
Kyle was fine, he often stayed up late and went to the library, he was used to it.
But it was different for Newt, who was already 95 years old. As soon as he stepped out of the box, he showed obvious signs of fatigue.
But his eyes were still bright.
"Sure enough, it was right to call you here."
Newt closed the box and poured Kyle a cup of hot chocolate.
"Naturally, Nungu leopards only give birth to one or two cubs. It is very rare to see three cubs in one litter."
"And this can cause great burden on them and even put their lives at risk."
"Thank goodness you were there to distract it, the process went much more smoothly than I thought."
"No, no, I just had a conversation. I didn't help that much." Kyle waved his hands.
He was only thirteen years old and didn't want to be labeled as a "childbirth helper" for no reason.
But Newt just smiled and gave him a meaningful look.
"It's late, go to bed. By the way, you don't need to get up early to go to the station tomorrow. I will take you back to Hogwarts. As for your luggage, you can ask Chris to take it over later."
"No need, I have all my luggage with me," Kyle said.
Before coming here, in order not to arouse Fox's suspicion, he deliberately mixed the box containing the diary with the luggage and put it into the suitcase.
Unexpectedly, it saved me a lot of trouble.
"That's perfect." Newt nodded and left.
However, after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, picked up the box on the ground and took it away.
The smile on Kyle's face disappeared in an instant.
This is too much...it makes him look like he's going to run into a box in the middle of the night.
It really is the trust between people!
Kyle pouted, put the hot chocolate back on the table, and went back to his room to sleep.
He had a separate room here, specially prepared by Newt and Tina.
……
Because he didn't have to catch a train, Kyle slept until noon the next day.
Tina had already prepared lunch, and the table was piled high with caramelized potato pancakes and steak.
"Is anyone else coming?" Kyle asked doubtfully.
The portion is too big. Not to mention three people, even thirty people can’t finish it.
"No one is coming." Tina smiled and took out a box, "You like potato pancakes, these are for you to take to school."
"The steak is for the Nongdu leopard," Newt said. "She needs a lot of food to recover her strength."
Kyle suddenly realized and sat down at the table.
Tina added several steaks to his plate, stacking them like bricks.
Kyle didn't refuse. He had only eaten one potato pancake since last night and was already hungry.
After dinner, Newt took him to deliver food to the Nangdu leopard family.
The poisonous fog that permeated the grassland has become much thinner, but it is still deadly.
Still on that stone... The three little guys seemed to still remember them and were not afraid of strangers. They kept circling around Kyle's feet and pulling his pants from time to time.
The two older ones snuggled on the rock, eating the steak Newt brought while lazily watching Kyle help them take care of their babies.
It was not until the afternoon that Kyle felt that the train would soon arrive at Hogwarts, and he left reluctantly.
Norbert and the troll had been secretly moved to his box without Fawkes's knowledge.
Dumbledore is indeed very reliable. The space in his box is now endless. I don’t know how many times larger it is than before.
Dumbledore also helped him complete some of the renovation work. The place where there were only a few trees originally became a lush forest. The lake also became much larger, and there were two more hills next to it.
He even adjusted the climate, with a thick layer of ice and snow covering the northern side of the lake.

Chapter 268: Disappointed Snape
"Are you ready, Kyle?"
In an open space outside the room, Newt looked at Kyle from a distance and said, "If we leave now, we should be able to catch the dinner."
That's right...
Kyle looked up at the gradually darkening sky. If there were no special circumstances, it would indeed be time for the train to arrive.
But there was one question he couldn't figure out.
Didn’t Newt say he would send him to Hogwarts...then why was he standing so far away!
Also, why did Fox suddenly fall on his shoulders?
Kyle's throat moved, as if he had thought of a possibility.
He looked at Newt and asked tentatively, "You were the one who sent me to Hogwarts, right?!"
"In fact, I just received a letter."
Newt turned his head away, not meeting Kyle's eyes. "There's something wrong with the black dragon in the Hebrides. I'm going to go there soon."
"Because it's urgent, Fox will have to take you back to school."
After hearing what Newt said, Kyle felt sick and looked at Newt gloomily.
"Ahem, I know that Phoenix's Apparition isn't very comfortable, but... well... it's not that bad."
Seeing Kyle's eyes, Newt felt even more guilty, but he still said, "Besides Dumbledore, you are probably the only wizard favored by the Phoenix. This is a rare opportunity..."
"If this is the opportunity... forget it." Kyle thought to himself.
The Phoenix's way of traveling is not "not very comfortable", it is quite explosive in the entire magical world.
During this period of time, every time he thought of yesterday's experience, his calves would tremble, and he still hasn't recovered.
"I can go back by myself."
Kyle held out his hand and glanced at the ring on it.
He can also use Apparation twice and return to school by himself.
In other words, as long as he could get Fox off his shoulder, it wouldn't matter if he used both chances.
But unfortunately, Fox did not give him this opportunity.
Perhaps it was the first time that he was disliked like this, Fox was a little unhappy. Without warning, he clenched his claws and then spread his wings.
