Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 291 Is this a box? This is the kingdom of God on earth!

As Old Man Newt described it, Harley's expression became increasingly weird.

And Newt also found that his words seemed not quite right, and he painted his image darker and darker, eventually moving in an unpredictable direction.

So he simply coughed twice and decisively changed the subject.

Mr. Newt raised the black box in his hand towards Harley:

"Harry, at the invitation of Albus and Sirius, I brought the fire dragon."

This is the plan prepared by Harley:

Let Sirius send an invitation to Newt, asking him to come to England for a visit, and lend Sirius a fire dragon as a training object for Harry and Fleur.

Considering that Sirius and Newt were not particularly familiar with each other and it was Professor Dumbledore's favor, it was natural that Professor Dumbledore would help write this letter.

And when the subject of borrowing the fire dragon is Sirius, it does not count as Professor Dumbledore's illegal operation and cheating for his own warriors.

After all, the rules don't say that parents can't worry about their children and provide help to them, nor do they say that parents are prohibited from using fire dragons to train their children in actual combat.

And Newt readily agreed, and not only brought the fire dragon, but also his legendary box.

"There are currently two fire dragons in the box. One of them is a pure wild Norwegian Ridgeback. This poor child was injured some time ago and is currently being recuperated here."

Newt introduced Harley, his voice full of tenderness.

"The other fire dragon is the Romanian Longhorned Dragon, a poor child that I have raised for a long time."

"When I picked it up, it was separated from its mother and was dying of hunger."

"I originally planned to raise it until it reached adulthood and then return it to Romania."

"In the end, the child refused to leave no matter what. He lived in my box and refused to leave. In the end, I had no choice but to let him settle down."

As he said that, Newt gently touched the handle of the box and touched his favorite old friend.

Professor Dumbledore took out a handkerchief, took off his glasses, and gently wiped the corners of his eyes:

"Ah... it's so touching. Every time I hear the stories behind these magical animals, I am moved by their spirituality..."

Before Professor Dumbledore could finish his words, there was a sudden "click" in the room.

Professor Dumbledore's voice stopped suddenly, and the gentleness on his face disappeared, becoming extremely cautious, obviously remembering something.

He stared at the box, and the wand appeared in his hand without knowing when.

There was also a hint of panic on Old Man Newt's face. The atmosphere had been brewing up to this point. What if it was suddenly destroyed?

Just as he was about to close the box, a little head suddenly poked out timidly.

The little head is dark and has a long nose.

Its front paws on the edge of the box are relatively flat, like shovels.

It's a Niffler.

After seeing that it was this little guy who came out, the constipated expression on Newt's face became much better.

"Oh, why did you come out? Little Dylan?" Newt said, reaching out to pick up Sniff.

"Come out quickly so I can lock the box."

But the naughty Sniff did not comply with Newt's wishes. Instead, he was attracted by the shiny little lock of the box.

It climbed out suddenly, and at the same time quickly grabbed the lock of the box, trying to break it off with all its strength.

Newt's box has various magics on it, and its strength is certainly not something that a little guy like Sniff can destroy.

But... Dylan interfered with the magic on the box, causing a pointer next to the box lock to point in an unknown direction.

At this moment, a certain entrance of the box that was only opened a crack was completely opened!

At this time, Newt was stretching out his hands to hug Dylan, so he was not holding the handle of the box.

So, while the four people and many portraits in the office were stunned, the box fell to the ground and opened upward.

There is a lot of restless atmosphere inside, and it seems to be rushing towards the outside world.

Merlin, the magical beasts have escaped!

…………

Five minutes later, the principal's office had become a mess.

Professor Dumbledore waved his wand to put all the small objects in their place, while staring at the box next to the table with an unfriendly expression.

Many magical animals rushed out due to the trouble caused by the little Niffler.

Although the space in the principal's office is not spacious, magical animals such as fire dragons, poison horned beasts, and poisonous leopards cannot escape.

But these huge and dangerous magical animals are not the only ones in Mr. Newt’s box!

There are also many little things in his box that are inconspicuous or can make him inconspicuous, such as birds and snakes, invisible beasts, and Billywig bugs.

Another example...a large group of Nifflers!

Professor Dumbledore's reaction was swift, and he used several magics to directly block the principal's office, preventing magical animals from entering the corridor outside the office.

At the same time, he also freed up his hand and waved his hand to construct a purple light film, protecting the precious magic books on the surrounding bookshelves.

But his magic was too late to take care of the various items on the table and his precious magic silverware.

Harley's goal also coincided with Professor Dumbledore's goal. While placing an iron armor spell around herself, Sirius and Old Man Newt, she also applied several layers of magic to the surrounding bookshelves.

As for Old Man Newt and Sirius, they just stood there stupidly, seemingly unresponsive.

So, under the cover of birds, snakes, bigwillies and various other smaller magical animals, the Sniffers almost instantly stole all the silverware on Professor Dumbledore's desk and fled one after another. Back in the box.

This made Newt very embarrassed. After catching all the other magical animals, he immediately got into the box and went to help Professor Dumbledore find the silverware.

The old principals on the wall should have laughed unscrupulously at Professor Dumbledore's embarrassment at this time, but their faces now are not very good-looking.

After all, a few Nifflers had previously taken a fancy to the shiny golden buttons or the opal rings on their hands in their portraits, and rushed up to scratch the frame several times.

"I finally understand why Newt is not popular! His box should be reinforced!"

An old Hufflepuff headmaster said angrily, while brushing off the dust that came from unknown sources on his body,

"Damn it, when I got along with Grant Scamander, why didn't his box get opened for no reason?"

At this time, Old Man Newt just happened to get out of the box. When he heard these words, his face turned dark.

But he was unable to refute, because the old headmaster of Hufflepuff was the best friend of a certain ancestor of the Scamander family.

Moreover, he himself is related by marriage to the Scamander family, and has part of the blood of the Scamander family.

Newt's brain was working rapidly, and he finally gave up thinking and admitted his mistake.

Then he quickly carried the box and slipped out of the principal's office, and Harry also said goodbye to Professor Dumbledore.

Sirius originally wanted to go with him, but Professor Dumbledore wanted him to assist Lupine in investigating something.

So Sirius could only cheer Harley up and tell her to relax, and then regretfully stayed.

After a while, the two appeared in the Room of Requirement.

At this time, the Room of Requirement became very large at Newt's request, with the space of four or five auditoriums.

Harry had originally proposed to go to Hagrid's hut and let Hagrid get in touch with the fire dragon that he had been thinking about.

But Newt insisted that it was inappropriate for Hagrid to know something so important, and that he should stay away from Hagrid while carrying the box.

"Hagrid is more of a threat to my chest than Sniff is to the coins!"

Mr. Newt made the following sharp comments with sharp words:

"Not to mention that he doesn't even have a doorknob in his mouth. As long as he takes two sips of wine, Hagrid will definitely reveal the news of my appearance in England!"

"And now I am stowaway! Stowaway! Child!"

Harry suddenly remembered this and changed his mind.

"Okay, you go ahead and pick a fire dragon."

After placing a lot of magic in the Room of Requirement, Old Man Newt carefully opened the box.

"I will soon lend another fire dragon to Ilvermorny. Like you, they have figured out the events of this Six-wizard Tournament and have written to me for help."

"Well, although I really hope that Hogwarts can win, Ilvermorny is Tina's alma mater after all. I have to help if I can."

"It's a pity that my grandson Rolf is incompetent and unable to break through the test set by Principal Agilburne as an underage wizard."

"So he is not even qualified to come to Hogwarts to participate in the warrior campaign."

As he said that, Newt shook his head.

"Sorry, I got a little off topic. Let's go into the box and have a look around, and then you can think about it,"

"Should I choose the wild Norwegian Ridgeback or the Romanian Longhorns that I have domesticated for a long time?"

"By the way, the Norwegian Ridgeback has fully recovered from its injuries. After completing the training with you this time, I will return it to Norway."

"By the way, I remember that Albus' letter also mentioned two little girls. They also want to use the fire dragon to train together."

"Why didn't I see them?"

Old Man Newt's words were like a barrage of words, and Harry could not imagine that this was the introverted, shy, socially phobic Newt that Professor Dumbledore said.

However, considering that although the two have not met directly, they are already very familiar with each other through the narrations of Professor Dumbledore and Nico Flamel.

So Newt's enthusiasm is not difficult to understand.

"Sir, Hermione and Fleur are still in the library." Harry said softly,

"I think I should wait until I see you and get your consent before bringing them here."

"You are so polite, yet so spiritual and good at talking. I should let Luo Fu learn from you."

"That child is nothing like his mother, but very much like his father. He inherited my poor speech skills and doesn't know how to speak when he sees strangers."

Newt smiled charitablely,

"Let's go then, let me take you to visit the box first."

With that, Newt put one foot into the box.

The mouth of the box doesn't look very big, and it can't accommodate an adult's body at all.

But Newt got right in and quickly disappeared.

Harley followed closely behind and also entered the legendary box.

…………

After Harry walked around in the box for a while, his face was full of emotion and shock.

If she hadn't been sure that the old man in front of her had not yet reached the level of demigod, Harry would have even thought that he was a newly promoted Sequence Zero True God with his own divine kingdom on earth.

There is a vast and boundless space in that small, unattractive box.

Snow mountains, grasslands, tropical rain forests, oceans... almost all environments in the world can find corresponding parts in the box.

In the area where fire dragons live, Harley even saw a small active volcano!

Just horrible!

In these different environments, Harley saw a large number of magical creatures.

For example, the group of little guys who swept away Professor Dumbledore's silverware collection lived in a tree.

When Harley passed by their station, the group of sniffers hugged and played with the gold coins, obviously still sulking.

There was also a poisonous leopard lying under the tree, but this poisonous leopard did not attack the Niffler in the tree at all, nor did it become hostile to Harley and Newt.

When it saw Newt, the poisonous leopard jumped up happily, licked Newt's face crazily, and rubbed its head against Newt's leg.

And while doing this series of intimate movements, it also put away the barbs on its tongue and carefully put away the poison sac to prevent hurting Newt.

"Look, there's no need to worry. These little guys are clinging to me."

Newt proudly showed off to Harry who had his hands in his pockets while stroking the big cat that Hagrid couldn't reach.

"And I recently want to expand it a little more, add a flaming mountain inside, and try to build a bigger home for the salamanders."

"After all, salamanders don't like lava very much, and they can't stay away from flames..."

Newt seemed to have flipped some magical switch and couldn't stop talking about magical beasts.

Finally, after Harley's reminder, he stopped introducing the box and the magical animals in it.

After the two quickly selected the fire dragon, Newt guided the other fire dragon out of the box.

The fire dragon successfully entered the Room of Requirement through the narrow opening of the box, and got into another small red box that he pulled out from nowhere.

"You can go call your two companions. I want to go to Ilvermorny's station first and send them the Romanian Longhorned Dragon."

Newt said, sealing both boxes with magic.

"Let's meet in the afternoon!"
