Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Hermione's question didn't get an accurate, or satisfactory answer—

Because obviously, Newt Scamander, who specializes in natural history and zoology, has never thought about such deep and profound issues—

Or to put it another way, this erudite old man who was born in 1897 and grew up in the first decades of the twentieth century has never thought about anything—

In his eyes, or in all the education he has received, he has never looked at the two creatures, house-elves and centaurs, from the perspective of human beings—

"Well...Miss Granger..." Newt Scamander said, "You have a good idea...very good...from... .....from a wisdom standpoint...house-elves and centaurs do have the same wisdom as wizards, but...but I think...I think we protect The best thing about Fantastic Beasts... is to go with their nature—"

"Just like the eagle-headed beasts you once learned like to say hello to each other by bowing, house-elves like to serve wizards, centaurs like to live in the depths of a human forest, that's just nature—" Newt Scamander try to explain.

"Is it really in their nature? Or is it something they have to do with humans?" Hermione asked, "As far as I know, every house elf is born with a To receive servile training, you must be slaves who serve their masters from generation to generation. They undertake all housework and are bound by their masters. They cannot disobey their master's orders at will, and if they disobey, they must punish themselves."

"And centaurs, they are close to almost all animals, even magical animals like unicorns are willing to get close to centaurs, but why are centaurs far away from humans alone?" Hermione asked again, "Is this a domestic child? The 'nature' of elves and centaurs in absolutely natural conditions?"

"Ah...this..." Newt Scamander scratched his head and hesitated.

Newt Scamander, who has never studied zoology, ecology, evolution, Quaternary mammalology, etc., certainly does not know what is domestication, what is co-evolution, what is mutualism, and what is ecological environment—

He just traveled all over the world with his passion and extraordinary love to record and save these magical animals.

Of course, this spirit is quite respectable, but as his wife Tina said: "A guide to extinction?"

Without a strong and powerful government, a legal treaty that has not yet reached the death penalty, and an iron-fisted law enforcement agency, the publication of such an encyclopedia detailing the habits, habitats, and distribution areas of each cherished magical animal will only serve as a source of lawlessness. The Disciple provides a manual of extermination—

Just like the mainland before 1949.

Everyone knows that pandas are China's national treasures, but no one knows that pandas are overkilled by foreign powers to the point of being endangered. Before 1949, an American woman named Lucy smuggled a baby panda into the United States. Lucy relied on this The panda became famous, and she participated in countless advertising shoots, banquets, ceremonies and receptions, and won countless fame and fortune.

It's a pity that this poor panda died just over a year old.

But as the first person to stole a live panda out of China, Lucy's story brought a lot of excitement to some Americans.

Countless Western expeditions have come to China to target the chubby, black-and-white-skinned animals such as pandas.

But pandas are too difficult to raise. On the way out of China, they don't even know how many pandas died.

In order to increase the number of pandas sent abroad, they caught pandas like crazy, and the number of pandas dropped sharply, and even almost disappeared.

It was not until the founding of the People's Republic of China that a giant panda sanctuary was established. After the efforts and dedication of countless experts, the number of giant pandas gradually increased. Thanks to decades of unremitting protection, today's giant pandas have gradually escaped the endangered species. species.

Since the publication of the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the hunting and killing of some cherished magical animals has actually not decreased, but has become more intense—

If it weren't for the fact that the wizarding world had experienced the two Dark Lord Rebellions, the population of the wizarding world would have declined seriously, causing the market for magical animal materials to shrink sharply, and there would be almost no profit at all. I am afraid that Newt Scamander recorded decades ago. Many amazing animals are now extinct.

Fortunately, soon, the other students in this class gradually arrived, which freed Newt from Hermione's question.

"Is everyone here?" Newt Scamander asked after counting the number of people.

"Good morning, Professor Scamander." The students answered almost in unison.

"Good morning, classmates, first of all, welcome to the class on the protection of magical creatures." Newt Scamander said after checking the number of people, "I heard about the teaching method of your Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, I don't think so. I hope to be so serious in my class, I hope everyone can be a little more lively, and I hope to have a thrilling adventure with you-"

With that said, Newt Scamander laid his suitcase flat on the grass, opened it slowly, and then—

Newt went inside the box.

"Come on, come on, classmates." Newt said, reaching into the box and waving a hand—

Standing on the grass, the Hogwarts classmates looked at each other, feeling a little overwhelmed.

The first to act was Hermione.

He strode forward and walked into Newt's suitcase.

Then Harry and Ron, and then the rest of their class.

Walking into the suitcase, there is a somewhat spacious stone staircase, perhaps because of Newt Scamander's old age, the stone staircase is covered with soft carpet and wooden railings on both sides.

The stairs are very low and the **** is very gentle, so it was not until the seventh little wizard, Malfoy's follower, when Goyle was stuck in the mouth of the box, that Hermione walked down the stairs. Step inside a wooden hut filled with various reagents, tools and herbs.

Newt Scamander was standing by the door of the wooden house not far in front of Hermione, looking at them with a smile on his face.

When all the students went down to the wooden house or stood on the stairs, Newt Scamander chuckled happily, stretched out his hand, and pushed open the wooden door behind him—

The towering mountains and rivers, the rushing rivers, the rainforests that block the sky, the swamps with dense water and grass, the uninhabited deserts, the cold and windy snow-capped mountains, countless strange scenes are like a puzzle, one grid after another is inlaid in the Together.

The most striking thing is the countless magical animals living in the deep and secret realm.

The first one to come out was Sniff, the creature that Hagrid talked about last semester, although he was very afraid of a group of people standing in the cabin, but when they saw Newt Scamander appear, they still took them with them. He ran over and crawled on Newt.

Then there are the horse-shaped water monsters sticking their heads out of the lake, the mourning birds flying out of the forest, the rainbow-feathered lizards, the invisible beasts, the feathered snakes, and so on.

"Welcome to the world of Fantastic Beasts!" Newt said after opening his arms and taking a welcome gesture towards the students in the wooden house.
