Hogwarts: Please Graduate Soon

Chapter 228: The Horned Water Snake, Newt’S Connections

At noon the next day, the old friend Wayne mentioned arrived.

Nagini was not surprised when she saw the people coming. In this era, she knew only a few people.

"Grandma Tina, Senior Newt."

Wayne took the two of them to the living room at the door, smiled and asked, "Why do you suddenly think of coming to London?"

Only at this time, the two of them were not paying attention to Wayne, but to the woman sitting next to him.

"Nanagini?" Tina looked at her in shock and shouted in disbelief.

"Tina, long time no see." Nagini nodded lightly and smiled. Then she looked at Newt aside and bowed very solemnly:

"Mr. Scamander, thank you for taking me out of Albania. Without you, I would not have the chance to become a human again."

What Nagini said was extremely sincere and spoke from the bottom of her heart.

Without Newt taking her out of the forest, she would probably still be with Voldemort and do more evil things in the future.

Facing her gift, Newt stood up awkwardly: "Nagini, there's no need for this. This is all Wayne's credit. You have to..."

At this point, Newt's heart skipped a beat and palpitations arose spontaneously, and he immediately changed his words and said: "If it weren't for his Phoenix King, I wouldn't be able to do anything about your situation.

"I still have to thank you, senior." Wayne said with a smile without stopping Nagini's movements.

Seeing the three people being polite to each other, Tina's face showed a look of confusion, and then it turned into anger. She pulled Nutra back and asked angrily:

"What's going on? You two are hiding it from me, right?"

"No, Tina." Newt smiled bitterly and quickly explained.

Because of the unbreakable oath, he could not tell the whole story clearly and could only attribute everything to the accidental discovery of Nagini in Albania and then handed it over to Wayne for treatment.

When it comes to taking the blame, Senior Newt’s skills are not inferior to his attainments in magical zoology.

Tina believed this rhetoric easily, and then complained: "Why didn't you inform me of such a big thing, Wayne, you did the same, you didn't tell me last time when you came here.

"Isn't this a surprise for you?" Wayne smiled shyly.

"You forgot, I didn't bring a box with me last time, so I couldn't let you see Nagini."

"I guess you can make excuses." Tina laughed at the two men's singing and did not care about it anymore. Instead, she pulled Nagini to another side hall to chat.

The relationship between the two is much closer than that of Nagini and Newt. Back then, Tina chased Gredence all the way to Paris and had a lot of dealings with Nagini.

Wayne then asked Newt again: "Why did you suddenly come to London?"

"The Ministry of Magic has something to ask me about." Newt looked out the window at the kettle that was watering his flowers and said softly: "A poacher smuggled a long-horned water snake to the UK. The Ministry of Magic wants to entrust me to find it."

"I came here today just to ask for some specific details and to see you by the way."

"Horned water snake, which species is from which continent?" Wayne's eyes lit up and he asked.

"North America."

"Did you find it?" Wayne rubbed his hands excitedly, this is a good thing.

The long-horned water snake should be a 5X level magical animal second only to the fire dragon in terms of number of species and number of extant species. It is distributed all over the world.

Among them, the North American species is the most precious. This kind of long-horned water snake has a beautiful gem on its forehead, which can be used as a wand core and also gives them the ability to fly and become invisible.

In Ilvermorny, there is a college named after the long-burnt water snake.

It is said that the founder of Ilvermorny, Isolt Thayer (a descendant of the Gaunt family), made friends with a long-horned water snake and used the gem fragment on his forehead as the core of the staff to create a powerful rod. The right wand.

Yesterday I was worried about not having a suitable wand for Nagini, isn't this what happened today?

"Didn't I just say that I'm here to collect clues today." Newt was helpless when he saw Wayne's appearance.

"I can't leave this to you. Once found, it will be sent back to the United States. The Ministry of Magic on both sides is watching. Don't make any crooked ideas."

"Am I that kind of person?" Wayne denied: "All I need is a few gem fragments. Nagini doesn't have a suitable wand yet."

"The gemstone of the horned water snake combined with the snake bone wood is definitely the most suitable wand for her."

Upon hearing this, Newt realized that this was indeed the case. He hesitated for a moment and agreed: "After I find it, I will help you ask, but we can't force it."

"Don't worry." Wayne patted his chest and assured, "I'm the best at making friends with magical animals."

In fact, he still has some thoughts about the horned water snake. The flying ability and invisibility ability brought by the gem are very strange and worthy of careful study.

But after thinking for a long time, there were no suitable candidates around to take the blame, so Wayne had no choice but to give up.

Newt took out the information he got from the Ministry of Magic and asked the young man to help him consult.

At present, the Ministry of Magic has caught the poacher, but during the battle between the Aurors and the poachers, the horned water snake took advantage of the chaos and escaped by using its invisibility and flying abilities.

Wayne read all the information and thought for two seconds.

"The Wetland Park in Somerset should be the most likely place, with lots of swamps, heavy moisture, and forest as cover."

"The distance from where the battle took place is not too far, only three hundred miles.

"With the telescopic water snake's flying ability, it can be easily found."

"I think so too, what are the other possibilities?"

"In the Scottish Highlands..." Wayne said jokingly: "Maybe you can go to the Black Lake to look for it, but the horse-shaped water monster and giant squid there probably won't welcome it too much.

"But the mermaids will like it. Newt also smiled and said: "The mucus of the horned water snake is very nutritious for them. "

The two of them analyzed several possible places in succession before calling it a day.

Wayne went to the side hall to invite Tina and Nagini to eat, and heard Tina saying enviously:

"Sixty or seventy years later, you are still as young and beautiful as you were then. Did you even stop growing during the time when you became a blood-cursed orc?"

"Probably." Nagini smiled and said: "The memory about that period of time... is actually very blurry, as if I didn't exist at all. I don't know the specific situation."

"Isn't it easy for Grandma Tina to become younger?"

Wayne heard the conversation between the two and came over: "I'm going to call King Feng here. You can become a twenty-year-old girl, no problem."

"Don't be ridiculous." Tina quickly stopped: "I'm just talking. I'm a grandma and still care about this."

"That's such a pity." Wayne sighed deliberately: "I also want to see how beautiful Grandma Tina was when she was young, and how she could charm a guy like Senior Newt."

"Glib tongue." Tina laughed and scolded, holding Nagini's hand and walking away.

In fact, there is no woman who doesn't want to restore her youth and beauty. Tina just doesn't want to cause trouble to Wayne.

After returning to their current appearance, outsiders who don't understand the situation will only think that they are in good spirits and well-maintained.

If she really turned into a girl in her twenties, the sensation would be huge.

Wayne also knew Tina's worries in his heart. He had keenly captured the old lady's heartbeat at that moment.

While I was moved, I was also helping Tina find a way.

As long as Newt and Tina appear as they are today in front of outsiders, then

Human body deformation....

It seemed like he was going to take some time to talk to Grindelwald.

While eating, Wayne asked Newt if he had received the letter he sent earlier.

"I got it, why do so many people ask you to help arrange work?" Newt asked doubtfully:

"Is it so difficult after Hogwarts now?"

"That's not really true." Wayne shook his head: "It's just that these seniors prefer to engage in work related to magical animals and herbalism, and don't want to be salespersons or ordinary employees of Gringotts.

"I see..." Newt hesitated.

It's not that he doesn't want to help, but there are too many people...almost twenty.

At this time, Tina got angry, put down the knife and fork and said displeasedly: "My child finally asked you to do a favor, why are you hesitating? Pierce, Prewett and those old people are all shouting that they are short of manpower."

Just recommend people there. "1

"Wayne just wanted to do something to help his classmates. What's wrong with him?"

"You think everyone is like you, with few friends when you graduate."

Wayne cooperated with a look of grievance, and Newt could only beg for mercy again and again, and agreed to the matter, thinking about how to arrange it.

The Fire Dragon Protection Center can send five of them, and the herbal cultivation land in Northumberland County can send three or four.

Well, the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic can also fill in a few, but they cannot be sinecures such as the Centaur Liaison Office, otherwise they will be harming people.

When I thought about it this way, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

But what Newt doesn't know is that this is only the first year, and he has a lot of work to do next...

Wayne is not forcing things on others. The Ministry of Magic in most countries around the world is afraid of Newt, but there are many places that need his help.

Especially countries with rich natural resources would ask Newt about magical animals from time to time, and everyone owed him a lot of favors.

As long as he doesn't go there himself and just arranges some people's work, it really doesn't matter.

After dinner, Tina heard that Wayne opened a store for Nagini, so she took Nagini to Diagon Alley with great interest.

Newt came to Wayne's box to see Mia the Thunderbird and other animals.

When he saw Tuantuan, Newt couldn't help but smile.

"Slim so much? How did you do it?"

The naive giant panda was lying on the lawn by the lake, basking in the warm sunshine, scratching its belly with its short hands from time to time, lazily.

0…Please give me flowers…

Although it is still chubby, Tuantuan has lost a lot of weight compared to when Newt delivered it, and you can tell at a glance.

Wayne pursed his lips, "You'll know in a minute."

It didn't take long.

Jerry ran out, looked at the sleeping Tuantuan and screamed twice angrily, then jumped on its belly and started playing on the trampoline.

Tuantuan was also angry after being woken up. He got up with a roar and bounced Jerry to the ground, almost falling into the lake.

Then the two cute animals started to chase each other, and after a while Tuantuan got tired. Jerry not only did not take the opportunity to run away, but also turned back to tease Tuantuan, who was even more angry. Tuantuan started chasing after him with four short legs.

Newt looked dumbfounded: "Is this how you help the iron-eating beast lose weight?"

"And Jerry." Wayne smiled happily, but Newt felt cold all over, "How did you do it? Sniff is notoriously lazy."

"It's very simple." Wayne wrote lightly: "I took away all Jerry's personal money and helped him exercise for an hour every day, and I gave him back two galleons.

"If this continues for a week, I will give him a Fire Crab gemstone fragment."

Newt:

Jerry and Tuantuan are definitely not

Human, but Wayne...is a real dog!

In the evening, Wayne wanted to stay with Newt and his wife for another two days, but Newt was very motivated after receiving a job and wanted to take Tina to the Wetland Park in Somerset County overnight.

Originally, Wayne was a little surprised as to why Tina was asked to follow him when he was looking for the horned water snake. After hearing the explanation, he became dumbfounded.

The feeling is that the British Ministry of Magic is afraid that Newt will make too much noise, and specifically requires Tina to stay with Newt at all times to prevent him from causing big trouble.

..0…

It seems that even after decades, Magic Rules still cannot forget the fear that the New York Times once brought.

This kind of treatment is almost as good as that of the Dark Lord.

"Remember my pieces." Wayne reminded Newt before he left.

"I know, I'll never forget it." After saying that, the two of them rode their brooms and flew into the night sky.

Two days later, people from the lobbying company came to the door with the plan they had prepared.

Wayne briefly browsed through it and found that the writing was easy to understand, and there were many ways to deal with emergencies. He nodded with satisfaction and gave everyone their monthly salary as a reward.

gold.

In fact, these people wanted to get in touch with real magic more than money, but Wayne did not agree.

Instead, a big pie was drawn.

If this plan is executed smoothly, he will reward everyone with a magic item on the day it succeeds.

A mop and broom that can sweep the floor and take out the trash by itself, a kettle that can water the flowers by itself, a spatula that can cook by itself...

I heard several people breathing heavily.

With their worth, every family can actually afford servants, but compared with these magical props, they are nothing at all.

Several executives patted their chests and promised that they would make the most complete and detailed lobbying plan after returning, striving to let the glory of the Lawrence family shine on the mysterious side.

Wayne waved his hand and sent away a few sycophants, then summoned the Phoenix King and disappeared into the fire.

Yorkshire was once the largest of the forty-three counties in England and one of the counties with the oldest history. It has the reputation of God's County.

George VI once declared that the history of York is the history of England. This statement is not an exaggeration at all.

At that time, the Romans made this place the center of their rule on the island, and many Roman and medieval-style buildings have been maintained to this day, such as the largest Gothic building in the UK.

—York Minster is located here.

However, due to its large area and difficulty in management, York County has now been divided into five counties.

The ancestral home of the Greengrass family is located in North Yorkshire. It is a pure white castle close to the sea and has its own private beach.

When Wayne visited, he was not greeted by the house elves of the Greengrass family, but by Mrs. Greengrass and her two sisters.

"Wayne, you're finally here!"

After seeing the boy, Astoria let go of her mother's arm, ran over, threw herself into Wayne's arms and complained:

"Take me away quickly. My mother has to take care of me every day at home. She even hired a tutor to make up lessons for me."

"That old man is so fierce, but not as powerful as you!"

Wayne was a little embarrassed and didn't know where to put his hands.

This... Mrs. Greengrass is still here, so he can't be too casual.

Regarding this scene, Mrs. Greengrass was not only not angry, but the smile on her face became even deeper, and she reprimanded:

"Astoria, Mr. Lawrence is a guest. What are you saying by blocking the guest at the door? Get out of the way."

Hearing this, Astoria reluctantly let go of Wayne.

However, he still held his hand and the two walked into the castle. .
