Hogwarts Fantastic Beasts in the Stomach

"Bang bang bang." Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door of Newt's house. Along with Mane's "woo" and Tina's muttering, Carlos climbed out of bed.

"It's only eight o'clock!" Carlos said with a yawn. He didn't expect another guest to come so early... Well, if this guest is correct, he should be Mr. Lovegood, right?

Carlos picked up Mane, then put on his little brown robe, and slowly walked down from the second floor.

The first floor seemed particularly crowded at this time. In addition to Newt, Tina and the strangely dressed Mr. Lovegood, Carlos also saw a girl dressed equally strangely.

The girl had long dark golden hair and extremely pale skin. She also looked in a trance. Of course, what Carlos was curious about was the strange necklace hanging around her neck.

"Mane, do you think that's the bottle cork of butterbeer?" Carlos asked the sniff in his arms in a low voice.

And Tina had already turned her head and called him to come down.

"Carlos, come down quickly... Mr. Lovegood is here, haven't you always liked him?" Tina said with a slightly playful smile, because she knew Carlos must have heard a knock on the door. woke me up.

Carlos shrugged and ran down the stairs. He stood next to Tina and looked at the girl curiously.

"My name is Carlos Emmanuel." Carlos smiled and stretched out his hand.

But the girl in front of him didn't seem to react. She was looking down at Mane at Carlos' feet.

"Luna?" Mr. Lovegood patted her shoulder gently and said, "Say hello to Carlos."

"Oh~" the girl named Luna said: "My name is Luna, Luna Lovegood." As she said that, she slowly showed a smile.

This situation surprised Carlos. He shook hands with the girl and said, "You are Mr. Lovegood's daughter, right?"

"Yeah." Luna nodded: "But I feel... you don't look like Mr. Scamander's grandson."

She sounded like she was singing, and Carlos couldn't help but think of the Cornish Elf Chorus he used to raise, but what she said seemed a bit blunt and hurtful.

"Oh...Luna, you can't say that." Mr. Lovegood touched Luna's head. It could be seen that he liked his daughter very much.

"It doesn't matter." Carlos waved his hand and said, "Because I was adopted by Grandpa Newt from the orphanage."

"Well..." Luna nodded thoughtfully, and then her thoughts wandered to where she was.

"Ahem." Tina coughed and said, "Mr. Lovegood, it's better to come in and talk to Newt first... He should be dealing with the Moon-Crazy Beast issue."

"Okay, okay, thank you..." Lovegood hung the small gift he brought on the coat rack, and then said to Luna: "You can play with Carlos first, and dad will take care of some things."

"Okay." Luna nodded slightly and knelt down to hug Mane.

"Woooo!" Mane surprisingly didn't struggle much. It seemed to like Luna very much and waved its hand to touch Luna's face.

"What a shameless Niffler..." Carlos muttered, and then he squatted down and said to Luna: "Grandpa Newt has raised many magical animals. Do you want to see them together?"

"Are there many?" Luna asked softly, then she raised her head and looked at Carlos curiously: "Then do you have a Snorlax?"

"The Bent-Horned Snorlax?" Carlos was stunned for a moment: "Is that a magical animal?"

"Of course it is!" Luna seemed to be interested in talking about the Scimitar-Horned Snorlax. She told Carlos as if telling a story: "It is a very shy but friendly magical animal that can use phantom. magic……"

"Both Mom and Dad said it lived in a cave without light and had big horns."

"Sounds interesting." Carlos nodded thoughtfully. Just listening to the big horn, Carlos felt that it would be good to make magic cooking.

"Of course..." Luna said to Carlos: "Dad and I are planning to go to Sweden to look for it next summer."

"Sweden?" Carlos scratched his head: "It sounds so far away."

"The farthest place I've ever been is Hogwarts."

"Hogwarts?" Luna seemed a little interested in the academy Carlos mentioned. She asked thoughtfully, "Do you think there will be Snorlax there?"

"Probably not." Carlos shook his head: "Although it is very shabby, damp, and lacks light, there are many students there."

"The Snorlax is very shy, isn't he?" Carlos had not forgotten what Luna had just mentioned.

"That's right..." Luna nodded and confirmed Carlos's conjecture: "Then I think there must be a lot of tadpoles in Hogwarts, and they like this environment best."

"Owl hook?" Carlos became more and more surprised. He felt that every time the girl in front of him could tell some magical animals that he had never heard of before.

"That's a parasitic plant." Luna thought for a while and explained: "They will parasitize other plants."

Listening to Luna's description, Carlos had some guesses: "It sounds like... mistletoe?"

"Well, they always appear together." Luna's singing-like tone made Carlos feel quite comfortable. He liked this new friend in front of him very much.

"I will remember this, and I will look for them when I return to Hogwarts." Carlos nodded, and then asked: "Don't you have classes at the Magic Academy?"

"No." Luna shook her head: "I'm not 11 years old yet." She picked up a coin and handed it to Mane: "Dad said I will go to Hogwarts next year."

"That's great." Carlos smiled: "I'm from Hufflepuff House. Maybe we can become students of the same house."

Luna shook her head slightly: "Not sure, maybe I am a squib?"

Carlos raised his eyebrows and shook his head subconsciously: "That would be too unfortunate."

"Unfortunately?" Luna shook her head after hearing Carlos's answer: "Mom said that all talents are gifts from God. If a few gifts are missing, God will make up for them a few years later."

Her words made Carlos thoughtful: "What your mother said makes sense."

"That's right." Luna agreed with Carlos' words, then stood on tiptoes slightly to get a small toy on the cabinet, which was the sniffer doll Carlos bought before.

"Let me do it?" Carlos said and walked to the cabinet, but the height of the cabinet prevented him from reaching it.

He coughed quickly and took out his wand: "The doll is flying!"

"Here you go." Carlos handed the Niffler doll in his hand to Luna: "Grandpa Newt bought it for me when I was a kid."

"It's a little run down."

"But it smells very pleasant." Luna gently buried her face in the doll, and then smelled the strange smell on it.

"Is it comfortable?" Carlos frowned slightly, and he put his nose to it curiously.

"It obviously doesn't smell good."

Luna ignored Carlos's muttering, she nodded and handed the doll to Carlos.

"No, if you like this doll, I'll give it to you." Carlos said casually. He had stopped playing with that toy a long time ago, and there seemed to be no use in keeping it.

"Oh...thank you." Luna looked very happy. She hung the doll on the side of the small bag on her waist, and then groped inside with her hands.

"Then let me give you a gift." Luna said and took out a carrot-shaped necklace. Although it didn't look good, it was unexpectedly exquisite.

"What a cute necklace." Carlos didn't refuse. He smiled, picked up the necklace, looked at it and said, "Did you make it yourself?"

"Yes." Luna nodded: "My mother taught me."

…………

"Luna, if I find the hook, I will write to you." Carlos waved to the girl who left.

"Okay, remember I told you how to deal with them? Don't forget." Luna turned her head to remind Carlos, and then jumped away.

"This girl is good...much better than her father." Tina said, closing the door gently, and then looked at Newt: "What did you talk about, Newt?"

"Things related to next summer vacation." Newt said slowly. It was obvious that he was quite interested in what Mr. Lovegood said.

Carlos didn't pay attention to the chat between the two old men. He smiled and hung the necklace around his neck. Carlos thought it looked pretty good.

"Woooooo!"

"No Mane, this is my gift."
