A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 269 Avery

Thinking back to the palm-sized Niffler he saw just now, Felix knew that an adult Niffler was at least a foot long.

Newt glanced at him, then looked into the office, where Amos' voice sounded a bit annoyed, "Where are those forms?"

"Can I help you?" Newt said.

"What?" Felix looked at him in astonishment.

"I need to feed them some potions...these three are a little weak, not comparable to their brothers."

"Happy to help," Felix said after thinking for a while. He found that the old man had a unique temperament, which was a mixture of seriousness and innocence. He had only seen it in underage children.

"what should I do?"

"Help me block it—that's right," Newt turned sideways, took out the silver pocket watch from his pocket, and took out a thumb-sized glass bottle from the other pocket, unscrewed the cap, Felix Discover the cap combined with a dropper.

"Just three drops..." Newt looked intently at the pocket watch. "I'm going to open it, Mr. Hype."

"Click."

The front cover of the pocket watch popped open, and a little black guy got out immediately, and it jumped nimbly in Newt's hand——

"Xiaoxiu flew here!" Felix whispered, Xixiu's flat palm kept moving, but found himself flying back in vain, and was caught in his hand.

"Thank you—it's you again, Valen, you should be almost fine." Newt said, looking at the little guy, Felix turned his head away from Xixiu in his hand, and whispered a few words.

"Hey, you can't talk like that," Newt said, and then he looked up, "It's a bit uncomfortable for you to hold her like that, Mr. Hype, not a grip, I know you can't - but it's better to hold her. "

Felix made another gesture.

"Great, open your mouth, Varen, you don't want to be sick, do you?" Newt said to Varen, who reluctantly opened his mouth, and Newt dripped three drops of the clear potion into it.

Afterwards, he put the little guy back into his pocket watch, but Varen poked half of his head out of it immediately, "Oh, don't!" Newt pointed his finger on its pink snout, and looked into its bright black eyes, "Call your two brothers out."

Nixiu was unmoved, Newt tilted his head, "I insist, Valen."

It hummed reluctantly, the pink snout receded and disappeared, and there was a mess of voices from the pocket watch. Newt seemed to be explaining to Felix: "Their sibling relationship is complicated."

Soon, another half of Nixiu came out—although Felix couldn't tell the difference at all.

"Sal, here you are—" Newt dripped three more drops into its mouth, "It's Thorpe's turn next."

When he finished the task, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.Newt noticed Felix's gaze and said to him, "The Niffler is a lively creature, very lively. Be close to people, of course, I don't recommend keeping it privately, it will ruin your house—"

"They're also interested in coins?"

"Yeah, if you don't pay attention, you can always shake a bunch of shiny things out of them," Newt said, "But they're fun to hang out with, and you can race him for coins , to see who is faster...their sense of smell is also very sensitive, and can help you find people or some old objects."

Newt suddenly stuffed the watch into his pocket and made a gesture of trimming the hem of his clothes.Two seconds later, a young man came out of the office. He was wearing a delicate and bright green wizard robe, with a round badge pinned to his chest.

"Mr. Scamander, I heard from Digory that you are here."

"I think I've seen you somewhere," Newt said.

"That's right, because I've been working here...for several years," he pointed to the sign on the office door. "I'm Mr. Magneil's deputy."

Newt frowned. "The committee for the disposal of dangerous animals?"

"We are not understood, but there are always people who will do this." The young man restrained his arrogance, "Mr. Scamander, the Iseron group in Antrim County is a little restless, you'd better go and have a look. "

Iseron is a pegasus with a chestnut mane, and rune horses, gralings, and thestrals are recognized as the four most common pegasus.

"Oh...it shouldn't be...this season is not courtship..." Newt said puzzled.

"Who knows what those beasts think?"

"Has there been a change in their leadership?"

"Probably not... so I suggest you go and investigate the reason."

"What about the environment?"

"nor."

Newt asked one question after another earnestly. The young man struggled to cope. His words became shorter and shorter, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. In the end, even Felix, who was not very familiar with this kind of Pegasus, could not understand. I could hear the contradictions in his words.

Newt met the young man's eyes for the first time, "Maybe...my knowledge tells me that you're lying...you want me out of here."

The young man looked away unnaturally, but he realized it immediately and forced himself to meet Newt's gaze, "This is a very serious accusation, Mr. Scamander, as a pure-blood..."

"Excuse me," Felix couldn't help interrupting him, "I've always felt that your tone of voice is a little familiar, are you Chesterton?"

Chesterton turned his head to look at Felix, with a hint of impatience in his expression, "Who are you, you didn't see us, us——Felix Heap?"

His tone was distorted with excitement.

"It's me, Chesterton." Felix greeted.

The young man was at a loss and said, "Oh... hello, I don't know..." After more than ten seconds, he finally calmed down, "Long time no see, Mr. Haipu."

Felix nodded, "I haven't seen you for a long time. You were the prefect when I entered school, and the many things you said were impressive."

"Is it... I-I don't remember very well," Chesterton said.

"By the way, what family are you from?" Felix asked rudely.

Chesterton grumbled.

"I didn't catch..." Felix stared into his eyes.

"Yeah, Avery—" Chester murmured, "Avery."

"The head of the Avery family is yours..."

"—Cousin Uncle."

It wasn't a pleasant conversation, at least for Chesterton, and he tried to leave the place without saying a few words, "Mr. McNeil should need me..."

Felix stared at his back, and Newt stood quietly aside, casting curious glances from time to time.

At this time, Amos finally came out, with a few drops of sweat on his red face, "These forms have not been used for some years, and they were dug out from the file cabinet of the previous member, and a bunch of moths made their homes in it—are you ?”

"Felix Hemp, I work at Hogwarts," said Felix.

"My God," Amos' eyes widened, "are you the professor of Ancient Runes and the head of the Dueling Club?"

Felix gave him a curious look. Is this the parent of one of his students?He said, "It was I—"

"Ced mentioned you during the holidays, Cedric Diggory, he is my son." Amos said excitedly, "The boy was a bit shy, but he admired you very much, and he told me you were dueling He was given a lot of extra pointers in the class... and the power of the spell, which was amazing..."

"Cedric, he is indeed excellent, and he also performed very well in ancient runes."

"He's also the captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team! I told his mother some time ago whether Seid would join the Ministry of Magic or the national team after graduation... She asked me to ask the child's opinion—haha..." Ah Moss went on and on, like every parent in the world, until a tall man hurried across the corridor.

"Mr. Hype?" said the tall man. "I'm Walsh who corresponded with you. You've come at last—"

"What's the matter, I'm an hour early."

"Minister Fudge is waiting for you," said Walsh Cedric, taking Felix's arm. "Sorry, Digory, I have to take your friend."

"N-nothing, business matters," said Mr. Amos.

Felix stopped, and Walsh staggered, "Oh, wait a minute—I want to say something," he looked at Newt, "Mr. Scamander, I've been talking about Hagrid's case too. We’re paying attention, we’ll have a chance to talk again.”

Before Newt could speak, Amos had already said, "Is it the speech at two o'clock today? Are you the Muggle expert that the Ministry is talking about? I will definitely go to see it, Mr. Hype."

Felix smiled at him, and he and Walsh left.

Newt said thoughtfully, "Muggle expert? He's really comfortable."
