"Mr. Scamander, Dobby will definitely take good care of it." Dobby said, patting his chest.
"I have no doubt about that." Newt said with a smile, "But you'd better not stay here all the time, because that will make them lose their vigilance and make the adult invisible beasts feel uneasy.
“You’d better hide in a more secluded place, like... there.” Newt pointed to an area with lush bushes.
Although he didn't quite understand, Dobby nodded and ran over quickly, hiding himself in the bushes, leaving only one big ear exposed.
Afterwards, the two went somewhere else.
Kyle came here with great difficulty, so Newt naturally would not miss this opportunity and took him to see many magical animals that behaved abnormally or were in a bad mood.
Kyle also once again made a cameo appearance as a magical animal psychologist and helped to find out the reason.
It was not until evening that they came out of the Moon Beast's cave.
A moon-crazy beast was ostracized by the tribe because of its non-standard dancing moves.
That’s why we say Newt’s box is magical. Here you can even see moon beasts that can’t dance. It’s really an eye-opener.
Newt had been teaching the other person to dance for the entire afternoon, and it was only now that he had finished.
"Do you want to go back for dinner?" Newt looked at the time and asked, "Or do you want to go somewhere else?"
"I'm not hungry yet." Kyle said with a smile.
Newt nodded, as if he understood something, "Tell me, where do you want to go?
"But I have to remind you that Dumbledore will not allow some magical animals into the castle, such as the Nundu panther."
Kyle's mouth just opened and then closed again in an instant.
He did come to Newt for help this time. Diana was right. Sometimes, the Fiery Curse was not the only option to deal with Death Eaters.
So he thought of another way... to find help.
The Nongdu leopard was one of his original targets, but before he could even open his mouth, Newt directly refused.
"This is a special period," Kyle whispered, "and I am confident that I can control it."
"This..." Newt hesitated.
Just like Kyle said, the Death Eaters had already attacked him, and no one could guarantee that there would be no second time.
And this time the Death Eaters used a different trick... they complained to the Ministry of Magic. Their trick didn't succeed this time, but what if it happened again? They couldn't really let Kyle go to Ilvermorny to hide.
"The Nangdu leopard does not distinguish between friend and foe," Newt said softly. "Once it attacks, everyone around it will be affected, and it is very likely to accidentally hurt its own people."
"I'll keep an eye on it," Kyle said.
Newt was silent for a long time before he said, "Only the Nongdu leopard?"
"Oh, there's another one." Kyle leaned over and whispered something.
After hearing this, Newt's eyes widened and he shook his head repeatedly.
"No, I can lend you the Nangdu Panther, but I absolutely cannot lend you this one. It's too dangerous. Dumbledore will definitely not allow you to bring it to the castle..."
"That was in the past. Things are different now."
Kyle said, “The castle itself is no longer safe, and it can even be said to be in an unprecedented crisis.
"Besides, it is a member of Hogwarts and has the responsibility to do its part to protect the school."
"Even if you say so." Newt still shook his head, "Well, I'll write a letter to Dumbledore. If he agrees, then it's fine."
"No need for that." Kyle whispered, "Besides, it was originally mine."
He didn't want Dumbledore to know about this, otherwise, he would most likely not agree.
"It's necessary," Newt said, "and you're wrong about one thing. It can only be handed over to you after you graduate."
"Okay." Kyle looked around and changed the subject, "How about we go see the Nangdu leopard first? The little guy should have grown up now."
"Although I haven't reached adulthood, I have indeed grown up a lot."

Chapter 606 The Late Weasleys
the next day.
King's Cross Station is still as lively as ever, but today there is a special group of passengers. They wear some unconventional outfits and hurriedly walk between the platforms.
What is even more eye-catching is that there is always a large birdcage on their luggage cart, which contains various kinds of owls.
Some new guards looked at them curiously, but more veteran guards looked as if they were used to it.
It's like this every year. Maybe there's an Owl Festival going on somewhere and they're used to it.
On Platform 9, a red steam train was parked nearby, and the area was bustling with parents picking up and dropping off their children.
"Thank you for bringing me here, Dobby." Kyle said, looking at the house-elf beside him.
Kyle originally wanted to take the Knight Bus because school started today, but Dobby offered to give him a ride.
The advantage of doing this is that you don’t need to go through the station and can go directly to the platform, which is quite convenient.
"Dobby is glad to be of help to Mr. Kyle," the elf said happily.
"Harry isn't here yet, do you want to wait a while?" Kyle checked the time, "Probably just a few minutes."
Dobby was somewhat tempted, but after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head.
"No, Dobby has a lot of work to do today, and the Invisible Beast needs to be looked after." The elf said, "Can Mr. Kyle give Dobby's regards to Harry Potter?"
"No problem at all."
After receiving an affirmative answer, the elf bowed happily and then disappeared on the spot.
"Kyle!"
Kanna came over from a distance carrying a suitcase. "When did you arrive? I didn't see you coming in from the station entrance."
"The house-elf sent me here," said Kyle. "By Apparating."
"That's so convenient." said Connor.
Soon, Cedric and Cho arrived.
The Weasleys still hadn't arrived, so they decided to grab a seat on the train.
Because it was almost time for the train to depart, they walked from the front to the back of the train before finally finding an empty compartment.
"How was your holiday?" Qiu put the gift on the shelf and said depressedly, "I stayed at home for two months. My mother originally wanted to take me to Sydney for a trip, but it fell through due to work problems."
"I went to Hampshire, where my grandfather lives," said Cedric. "My father said things were not going well recently, so he insisted that I go there, and he didn't bring me back until yesterday afternoon."
"By the way, Kyle." He turned his head, "I heard that you received a warning letter from the Ministry of Magic. What's going on?"
"Did you receive a warning letter?" Kanna asked nervously.
"How did you know that?" Kyle asked, "There shouldn't be any reports of this in the newspapers."
"My father said so," Cedric said. "I got him drunk yesterday and found out a lot about the Ministry of Magic."
"..."
Well, he is a good son to Mr. Diggory.
"Nothing." Kyle looked at Cedric speechlessly, then shook his head, "Everything has been resolved. It was just a misunderstanding."
"I guess it has something to do with You-Know-Who," Connor said. "I read the Daily Prophet, and it says every day that Dumbledore is a lunatic. Apparently the Ministry of Magic doesn't want to admit that You-Know-Who is back. That must be why you're involved."
"That's true," Kyle said, "but it's resolved now."
A loud whistle sounded.
"The train is about to leave." Cedric opened the window and looked out. "Strange, why haven't Fred and George come yet? Kyle, aren't you with them?"
Kyle shook his head. "No, I came here alone."
He also found it a bit strange. Given Mrs. Weasley's character, it was impossible for her not to arrive so late.
A few minutes later, there was another loud whistle and the train started to move.
"It seems that they are really late." Qiu couldn't help but frowned.
"No, they are coming!"
Kyle subconsciously looked outside. Just as the train was about to leave the station, Fred and George finally appeared.
They Apparated into the carriage at the last moment.
"Huh... we're finally here." Fred leaned against the box door, breathing heavily.
"What's going on." Kyle handed him a bottle of pumpkin soda, "Where are Harry and the others? Why are only you two here?"
"Moody was attacked." Fred said after taking a big sip of pumpkin soda, "This morning, a Death Eater broke into his house."
"How's Professor Moody?" Cedric asked.
"He was injured, but fortunately it was nothing serious." George said, "Sturges happened to be looking for him at the time, and saw the Killing Curse fly over his head with his own eyes."
"That was a close call, wasn't it?" said Fred. "Moody nearly got killed."
"It's not that easy." Qiu said, "Don't forget that Professor Moody is the most famous Auror. It's not that easy for the Death Eaters to kill him."
"Maybe." George said. "And everyone thought that the Death Eaters were probably still lying in wait near King's Cross Station, ready to attack Harry, so they were extra cautious on the road."
"But no one noticed the time..."
"By the time we got to King's Cross we were already late."
"George and I ran the fastest," said Fred, "but Harry and the others bowed too much."
As he spoke, he leaned his head out and looked out the window.
However, by this time the train had already gone very far away, and there was no trace of the platform behind it.
"Oops, I don't know how Ginny is going to get to school."
"Too bad we can't Apparate with anyone yet."
"Don't worry." Kyle said, "The adults are here. They will definitely find a way to send Ginny to Hogwarts."
"That's true." George came and sat down next to Cedric, "Mom won't stand for Ginny and Ron to be late."
