Wizards of Hogwarts

The audience was stunned.

Everyone whispered among themselves.

The wizards who can appear in the Pentagon Office at this moment are by no means ordinary. Almost every one of them is a magical elite from various countries. Even the ministers of magic from many countries have personally gone to the United States to deal with matters related to Grindelwald.

For these magic elites, "Oscurus" is not a completely unfamiliar term.

Even though they may have never come into contact with the Obscurus before, it does not prevent them from knowing information about that aspect.

Obscurus is a very special "dark" power with the terrifying ability of "parasitic cannibalization". It often appears when wizard children deliberately suppress their magical abilities, or when they experience physical or psychological abuse.This energy will manifest itself as a separate magical entity that suddenly bursts out when the host is stimulated, and is extremely destructive and lethal.

Generally speaking, Obscurus was more common in the Middle Ages, because ordinary people who were not familiar with magic at that time arrested and persecuted wizards everywhere because they were afraid of the power of magic, so that a large number of child wizards had to forcibly suppress their powers to hide themselves. This led to the birth of Obscurus.

And those obscurial hosts are also called "obscurial ones".

Today, the number of Obscurs is very rare. Since the wizarding world has completely turned into hiding, child wizards have no need to suppress their power, and the appearance of Obscurs has gradually decreased.

The existence of the Obscurus actually represents the weakness of the wizard class in a certain sense.

In this day and age, the appearance of an Obscurial means not only that the wizard child has suppressed his magical power, but also vaguely points to the country's lack of protection for underage wizards, and even the country's magic. They lost their ability to protect wizarding children, so that they were tortured and persecuted by Muggles.

This is something Serafina Picquery, the president of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, will never allow to see.

"Don't go too far, Mr. Scamander. There are no Obscurials in the United States." Ms. Picquery turned coldly and said angrily, "Confiscate that suitcase, Graves."

Graves just stretched out his right hand, and the suitcase that was originally held tightly in Newt's hand broke away from his hand and flew towards the rostrum.

Newt saw the magical animal suitcase that he regarded as life being summoned to him by Graves with magic. He quickly pulled out his wand from his waist pocket and said, "Don't give me back the suitcase."

"Arrest him," Ms. Picquery ordered again.

Dazzling spells flew out from various hidden corners of the Pentagon Office, hitting Newt and Tina who were unprepared, causing them to kneel to the ground.

Before Newt could cast a spell, the wand flew out of his hand and was caught by Graves.

The next moment, the powerful Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement used Newt's wand to conjure two magic ropes, completely binding Newt and Tina, and their hands were cut behind their backs by magic.

As for Elrohir and Jacob, who looked harmless, they were lucky enough to escape this round of attacks, but there were still many wizards aiming their wands at them.

Graves stood up from the chair with a relaxed expression and picked up the box.

"Don't hurt those creatures, please, you don't understand, they don't harm anything," Newt shouted in panic.

"We naturally have judgment," Ms. Picquery said.

Four uniformed Aurors instantly appeared behind the four people in Elrohir, and each Auror's wand pointed accurately at the heart of the person in front.

"Send them to their cells," Ms. Picquery ordered the Auror.

Newt shouted desperately: "Don't hurt those creatures, they won't cause harm. Please don't hurt my animals. They are not in danger. Please, they won't cause harm to others."

Newt was dragged out of the Pentagon office by the cold-looking Auror, and the painful and helpless shouts gradually grew distant.

As the night passed, a touch of fish belly white gradually appeared in the eastern sky, but in the gloomy Magic Congress cell, except for the pale light emitted by the overhead chandelier, no external light could enter.

The atmosphere in the cell was so dull that it made people mad.

Newt held his head in his hands and squatted in a corner of the cell with a painful expression on his face. He was still feeling extremely anxious about his magical animals.

"I'm sorry about your creatures, Mr. Scamander, I'm really sorry." Tina, who was on the verge of tears, broke the silence in the room.

Newt said nothing, but this gesture of silence was an attitude in itself.

Jacob, who was sitting on the bed, whispered to Tina: "Who can tell me what this Obscurus is?"

"The Obscurus," Tina glanced at Newt, whispered, "is a type of magical creature that has never appeared in American history, and has not appeared for centuries."

"Maybe it just wasn't checked out." Elrohir pointed out something closer to the truth.

Newt was finally willing to speak: "I saw one in Sudan three months ago, and the Obscurus still exists. Under persecution, those young witches and wizards not only did not learn how to harness or control their own magical power, Instead, it gave birth to this thing called Obscurus."

"It was an unstable, uncontrollable dark force that suddenly burst out, attacked and then disappeared." As Tina spoke, she suddenly understood one thing. The story that caused an uproar in the New York Ghost Newspaper A magical creature, every characteristic it exhibits is consistent with the Obscurus.

Tina asked Newt: "The lifespan of the Obscurus is not long, is it?"

"According to the literature, there is no case of an Obscurial surviving for more than ten years. The little girl I saw in Africa was eight years old." Newt paused choked with tears, "She was only eight years old when she died."

Jacob asked: "You mean, Senator Xiao was killed by a child?"

"To be precise, it should be caused by a child who cannot control his own power." Elohir said, "It's like a child getting a gun. This is fatal to himself and others. Threat."

Newt looked at Jacob and nodded in affirmation.

"I have a question," Elrohir asked proactively, "Are the Obscurus and the Obscurus symbiotic?"

"It's more special," Newt said. "The Obscurus is another expression of magic. It's more visible and dangerous than ordinary magic, and it can grow with the growth of its host. It's like putting it in a bottle. The larger the container, the more water it can store. But similarly, when the container is not enough to hold too much water, the water will burst the bottle. This is why those who are silent will rarely live past the age of ten. .”

"Can the water, that is, the Obscurus, survive alone in the world without the Obscurus?" Elrohir's words contained profound meaning. He thought of the black oily substance that Newt had once placed in the snowfield habitat.

All Newt said was: "When the Obscurial dies, the Obscurus usually disappears with it."
