Archdruid of Hogwarts
Chapter 74 Meeting Newt
Greeting Ernie was Newt's youngest son, Jacob.
Ernie felt that his ability to deal with people and things was only average.
He believes that this may be related to his obsession with magical animals and being a bit of a homebody.
If it were his brother, the naturalist, things would be very different.
But since his name is Jacob and he's a little chubby, Ernie can easily think of Jacob Kowalski, the No-Maj baker who almost became Newt's brother-in-law.
Jacob gets right to the point and hosts the unicorns Nini and Grada.
Ernie's way of getting along with the unicorn was obviously inspired by Newt's. His behavior was unusual and arrogant, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he seemed to be very funny.
"Some things in the world are so wonderful, it seems like yesterday, like reincarnation." Ernie, who was standing by the window, looked back and continued to chat with Newt.
The old Newt is a bit like an old version of Benjamin Button. He lacks the high-spiritedness and energy of his youth, and instead looks a bit slovenly, especially with his unsatisfactory hairstyle.
This made Ernie a little worried, worrying whether he would also suffer from bald hair when he reaches middle age. No matter whether he is a human or an animal, bald hair is really unsightly.
Okay, this is a joke, wizards still have the ability to supernaturally solve hair problems.
The reason why he had time to think about these boring questions was because Ernie found that he couldn't talk to Newt.
A little depressing, but it's reasonable, expected, Murphy's Law.
Ernie knew that Newt was not the kind of funny animal lover who said, "Oh, it's so cute, I want to hug it and lift it up." His care for magical animals was more practical and rational enough.
In 1965, the "Prohibition of the Breeding of Magical Creatures for Experimental Purposes" bill proposed by him and passed by the Wizengamot was his proudest achievement.
Transposed into the mortal world, it would be equivalent to prohibiting the creation and breeding of genetically mutated animals, such as teacup dogs.
The extraordinary magic makes the cost of creating Frankenstein relatively low.
Of course, it is far behind in terms of stable mass production. No matter how mature the plan is, it cannot break away from the stereotype of manual DIY.
Frankenstein's focus is on wisdom, soul, and human relations. Its creation is man-made to play God, and it is criticized and feared.
For animals, the relevant regulations were immediately relaxed by one level. Dolly the cloned sheep is promoted as a major technological advancement such as biotechnology and genetic revolution.
But magical animals are a different story. For example, centaurs, horses and mermaids are both beasts, but their intelligence is no worse than that of humans. They have their own species and culture. If they are exploited by a 'matching' maniac, wouldn't it be a tragedy? ?
Moreover, if the grandma doesn't kiss the hybrid thing and the uncle doesn't love it, it is really a sin.
Therefore, Ernie admired Newt for successfully filling this legal loophole in 1965. Made the wizards more civilized.
Otherwise, as the field of research on mortal creatures accelerates, there may be wizards who draw inspiration from it and create a demonic crisis, which will be very lively.
However, Newt and he are not the same person. The core difference lies in their attitude towards life.
In comparison, he is more indifferent to life, while Newt is the opposite.
Although Newt is not the kind of animal life noble who values animal life more important than human life, his respect for life is really high.
And he is not, and neither is Dumbledore actually.
In Dumbledore's heart, the right path he adheres to is more noble than life, and for it, he can sacrifice his life, including himself.
Ernie felt that this was also an important reason why Newt did not become a member of the Order of the Phoenix and was not even particularly close to Dumbledore.
As the saying goes, one code equals another. Back then, the two had the same view on Grindelwald. Newt doesn't mind helping the cause of justice either.
But if he was asked to specifically get involved in such things, he actually resisted.
Just like the line in "If You Are the One": It's not illegal to kill people, but I can't do it either.
Nowadays, Newt has put down the mask of being reserved and even shy. He has retired and is living in his own home, so he naturally lives a more authentic and self-centered life.
Therefore, the two of them could not urinate in the same pot. For example, Newt had some complaints about his ruthless killing of all the dark wizards who were chasing their mother and son, and MacMillan's behavior in the Kate incident.
What's interesting is that Newt was vaguely aware of the number of lives on his hands, and it felt a bit fairy-like, as if he was surrounded by the remnant souls of the dead and Newt could see it.
It doesn't matter, just talk less if you can't come to an agreement. Ernie doesn't expect to fall in love with every decent HP celebrity and become a close friend.
There was already a Snape who many people cried and licked in his previous life, and there was no shortage of one more.
Speaking of which, Snape was really not his cup of tea. In his opinion, his temperament was like that of a woman...
But now, in other people's homes, he naturally can't talk nonsense. Moreover, strictly speaking, there are not so many absolute rights and wrongs in the world, only the collision of ideas between people with different ways of living.
The 'bumper car' will not be open today. Returning disappointed, but the etiquette was in place, Ernie left two bottles of 'red medicine' to Tina Goldstein.
He said this: "Mr. Scamander, for the sake of magical animals, he traveled all over the world, eating and sleeping in the open.
At that time, the material conditions were really poor. Even those who paid great attention to maintenance would inevitably be left with some hidden and chronic diseases. This is what I specially prepared for you two.
Nothing else, just for the two of you to stay upright during the Grindelwald incident. In that crazy era, this is especially rare. "
Tina was very energetic and wise at the same time. She asked with a smile on her face: "Mr. MacMillan seems to know the events of that year very well."
"I do know, but I can't tell you the reason."
"Really? I always feel like we met before."
Ernie was startled and waved his hand: "No, that's not the case. I will never travel through time to fight alongside you at the end of 1926."
This statement amused Tina and she said with a smile: "You don't look British at all."
"They all say the same thing. It is said that pure British people always tell jokes very coldly."
Tina replied meaningfully: "More than..."
Ernie immediately understood that this sullen "my-British" heroine who immigrated from the Lighthouse Country was not used to many things in the British wizarding world.
He thought to himself: "This is someone we can talk to, what a pity!"...
What's a pity is that he has worked hard all his life and he can't bear to drag him into trouble again.
Just like what he told Hermione and the others, many times, your image in the minds of others depends more on what they think than what you do.
Therefore, even if he really just comes to visit often, it will form a hint among the people, which means that he is bound to pass by some people.
Fortunately, he believes that by taking the 'red pill', Newt Scamander will not only be able to better enjoy his old age, but also ensure that he will be in the preface to the fifty-second edition of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in 2017. , admitting that he was the first wizard to successfully capture Grindelwald.
Newt changed this sequence, and Ernie could completely understand it.
When a person gets old, everything becomes inferior, but his reputation is high in history. It is really not easy to leave your own traces in the long river of civilization, and it is positive. From this perspective, Newt Scudman did not come to this world in vain.
Thinking of these, Ernie couldn't help but think of himself again.
He was wondering whether he would be like Harry. Times make heroes, and heroes make current events. After this wave, he would return to ordinary life. He would be cheated by the old king next door when he should be cheated by him, and be cheated by the Ministry of Magic when he should be. The Ministry of Magic may become a stepping stone for the third generation of Dark Lord to become famous...
"It's really hard to say! Now I'm taking advantage of the destiny child's luck. In the future, my luck may rebound. I'll be blind and keep company with bad guys. I'll be ruined and jailed. If my mother dies and my wife runs away, well... I'll give it to you if you have time. Prepare a dead-hand system for yourself. If your brother is good, then everyone will be good. If you don't let your brother be good, then everyone will eat grass!"...
