章 326: Chapter 326: This Niffler Suffered an Internal Injury, Why Not... (Edited)
Tom sat in a corner with his familiar Niffler, and Hermione held a smaller and delicate Niffler in her hands, following him.
"Hey, this is the little one that escaped from Professor Scamander's box twice before," Tom lifted the hind leg of the chubby Niffler and showed it to Hermione.
The chubby Niffler struggled as it was grabbed by the hind legs. The scene instantly became comical: like a fat person trying to do sit-ups, it shook its belly up and down a few times and stretched its little paws to reach Tom's hand holding its hind legs.
Looking at the chubby Niffler in his hand, Tom smiled and said, "Who knows how Nifflers taste? With their chubby appearance, maybe they're as delicious as field hares."
Niffler: sniff!
Then it struggled even harder.
"Don't scare it," Hermione gave Tom a disapproving look and approached to take a closer look. It seemed that it really was the familiar Niffler. Although all Nifflers looked the same, not many were as chubby as that one. The other Nifflers were the size of large mice, but Tom's Niffler was almost as big as a rabbit.
"It's okay, I won't do anything to you," Tom grasped the nape of the Niffler's neck. "But if you keep moving and accidentally hurt yourself internally, then..."
The Niffler instantly became docile.
After imposing a bit of intimidation, when the chubby Niffler in his hand became obedient, Tom released its nape and hugged it. The chubby Niffler cooperated and rubbed its head against Tom's belly, showing affection.
"This little creature is quite affectionate," Hermione's Niffler also brought its long snout close to her ear, sniffing it with enthusiasm, tickling her ear and making her laugh.
"I think we're going to send our Nifflers on a treasure hunt, and the one that finds the most treasures wins," Tom speculated about Newt's upcoming lesson. The Niffler in his hand raised its head proudly, as if it wanted to prove that it would never lose to the other Nifflers.
"You guessed right," Newt suddenly appeared behind Tom. "But you're still a bit off from being completely correct. You'll find out soon enough."
"Professor Scamander," Hermione called out to Newt as he was about to leave, taking the opportunity to ask her own question about the Crumple-Horned Snorkack.
However, to Hermione's disappointment, Newt had never heard of this magical creature, but he also couldn't deny the possibility of its existence.
"We can't consider something doesn't exist just because we haven't seen it. That would be too arrogant. I firmly believe that there are many magical creatures in the world that haven't been discovered by the magical community yet. For example, my grandson Rolf once discovered an invisible butterfly..." Newt extended his finger and scratched the little belly of the Niffler in Tom's hands, making it shrink.
"Your grandson?" Hermione looked up, astonished.
Newt: ???
"I'm a living human being, of course I have lovers and my own offspring," Newt was taken aback. "Although I may look like an old man, I also have a wife!"
Newt seemed like the quiet and reserved older brother in a laboratory, someone who didn't seem to understand much about socializing and was completely absorbed in his experiments. A person like that and the word "girlfriend" seemed to have no relation, but Newt found his wife. His wife's name is Tina Goldstein, and after getting married, she changed her last name to Scamander. She is a witch of mixed ancestry from the United States who studied at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Thunderbird House. After graduating, she became an Auror for the Magical Congress of the United States.
Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the largest in North America, is located in Mount Greylock, Massachusetts, and enrolls students from all over North America. In South America, there is the Castelobruxo School of Magic, which is as old as Hogwarts.
Like Hogwarts, Ilvermorny also sorts students into four houses. The reason behind this is that the founder of this school longed for life at Hogwarts, so Ilvermorny has certain similarities to Hogwarts in various aspects. The four houses of Ilvermorny represent the wisdom of wizards in the Horned Serpent House, the Wampus represents the body of wizards and warriors, the Thunderbird represents the soul of wizards, and the Pukwudgie represents the heart of wizards.
The Horned Serpent House favors academics, the Wampus exalts the brave, Thunderbird students are usually adventurous, and the Pukwudgie likes to welcome students with good hearts, having produced many famous Healers. The four houses of Ilvermorny closely resemble the four houses of Hogwarts, except that they eliminated Slytherin and divided Gryffindor into two.
"Professor, does your grandson also go to Hogwarts?" Tom thought carefully and realized that he hadn't heard the Scamander surname before.
"Uh..." Newt blinked with some discomfort. "He entered a year after you, he's in his second year now. This kid is just like me, a hermit. He likes spending time researching various magical creatures in quiet corners. Well, let's not talk anymore, I still have classes."
Newt hurried to leave. As for his grandson, he concealed some information: it turns out that his grandson is just like him, someone who doesn't follow the rules when it comes to magical creatures.
Newt was not a graduate of Hogwarts; to be precise, he was an expelled student. During his time at Hogwarts, he was very fond of learning about magical creatures and conducting his own experiments with them. Newt was not a theoretical person but practical and action-oriented. At the age of seven, he was already dissecting a Horklump - a pink creature with spiky hair and a mushroom-like appearance - in his dormitory, more than once!
During his school years, he also became very close friends with Leta Lestrange, who shared his interest in magical creatures and was also an outsider. It was this best friend who led to his expulsion from Hogwarts.
During his time at school, he also became friends with Leta Lestrange, who had similar interests in magical creatures and was also an outsider. It was this close friend who led to his expulsion from Hogwarts when his experiment with a Niffler endangered the life of a student. Newt didn't want to see his friend expelled, so he stepped forward to take the blame and was expelled from Hogwarts. Fortunately, thanks to a plea from Albus Dumbledore, who was then the Transfiguration professor, Newt was able to keep his wand.
His grandson is like an exact copy of him. Rolf also enjoys experiments and likes to venture into the Forbidden Forest, even more frequently than the Weasley siblings. The arrival of Newt at Hogwarts as a professor also has a great connection to his grandson.
The worst-case scenario would be if the grandfather and grandson went together to search for unicorns in the Forbidden Forest!
