A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 498: The broken bird and snake

North shore of the English Channel, Dorset.

"Hey? (How long do you have to wait?)"

"Be patient, Varen. It will be soon."

Felix and Varun were lying on a thick dead leaf, holding a telescope in each hand, looking into the distance. A dense forest surrounded them, and sixty or seventy feet from them hid a nest of woven vines.

The bird's nest is very delicate, and it is also full of fallen leaves. Six or seven silver eggs that look like handicrafts are crowded together.

This is Newt Scamander's home, more precisely, part of the basement. Felix and Valen have been here for almost a week now and have spent most of their time in this place, enjoying all kinds of amazing adventures without ever leaving home, paddling in the swampy waters last night and out in the woods today Watch the birds and snakes break their shells.

It all takes place in Newt Scamander's magical basement.

This is a gathering place for magical animals that is not lost on the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary. Since Newt retired, he's been out a lot less. The Ministry of Magic of many countries quietly breathed a sigh of relief... But the scale and types of magical animals have not decreased, but have grown larger, except for those brought back by Newt himself, his son, grandson, and staff of the Ministry of Magic, magical animals Animal associations, protected areas... and foreign enthusiasts who come here here will also bring all kinds of magical animals to ask him for help and advice.

Felix came to the door this time and brought a full set of products from the "Future World" company as rent for his strange trip. Newt was taken aback, but his wife liked the novelty.

"Rove gave us a chair when he visited us, and it was very comfortable to lie on." Tina Goldstein said to him.

…

"Da, da, da——"

A burst of crisp metal impact sounded in the forest, "The shell is about to break!" Felix whispered to Varun. The two raised their binoculars and carefully observed the bird's nest. At first there was only one voice source, but it was like a signal, and then all the birds and snake eggs made the same sound.

"chirp?"

Valen poked Felix lightly.

"Video button? The red one—" Felix whispered, watching intently, a crack soon appeared on the surface of the silver eggshell, and then the eggshell began to twist and deform, as if there was a The huge thing was expanding, and after several trials, it began to peck again, and the cracks continued to expand.

The sound of "click, click, click" came one after another, forming a symphony.

Finally, the first bird snake came out of its shell.

A bird snake is a winged, two-legged animal with a snake's body and beautiful plumage, usually a delicate, bright blue color, but there are many exceptions. The newly born bird snake has weak legs and can only stick to the sides of its body. It moves more like a snake. It swims in circles in the nest, looking at its brothers and sisters curiously.

They are still trying to break their shells.

"Was it recorded?" Felix whispered.

The partner next to him, Valen, hummed happily, feeling very happy, maybe the pictures it captured now will become a precious video released by the "Future World" company, and will be seen by thousands of wizards .

"I also recorded it, we can compare when we go back... Let's get closer, Mother Bird Snake is not at home..."

"Hey! (Because you lured away with a bucket of worms!)"

"Ha, mother bird and snake needs to supplement nutrition, doesn't it? Let's come quietly and go quietly."

"Chirp? (Have you seen the transformation?)" Varen asked.

Bird-snake has a unique ability among magical animals-it can expand and contract at will, either being large enough to fill any space, or shrinking its body according to the available space.

"Are you talking about them, or me?" Felix pointed to the bird's nest in front of him and said, the telescope in his hand was about to poke into the bird's nest, and the little bird snake that hatched first was caught Attracted by their voices and shiny lenses, he tilted his head and looked at them curiously.

The sight of the little bird snake shifted from Felix to Varun, staring at its long pink beak for a long time, and then sideways inspecting its own appearance reflected on the surface of the silver eggshell, it seems that it has finally confirmed what is in front of it The two fellows were not its mother, and the little fellow immediately spread a pair of bright blue wings to demonstrate to them.

The bird snake's body also swelled.

"Wow!"

Warren watched this scene in shock, Xixiu was not capable of such a thing. It slowly stretched its hand behind it, waving at Felix repeatedly, and Felix grinned and stuffed it with a small glass bottle.

Warren stared at the little bird snake, shaking his fist in front of its eyes, revealing a beetle in his hand.

The little bird snake that was still trying to make itself stop, tilted its head and looked at the food in Varen's hand, and his stomach let out an unsatisfactory growl. Although he didn't speak, its mouth was getting closer and closer...

The little bird and snake quickly fell under the temptation of food.

With the first role model, the other newly hatched birds and snakes did not have time to think about the complicated question of why their mother looks different from them, and began to compete for food. Felix and Valen took the opportunity to reach out and stroke them beautiful feathers.

Especially Felix, while touching his fingertips, there is a little magic power, not hurting, but analyzing...

The joy of feeding was short-lived. Not long after, Varen shook the empty glass bottle and held it up for Felix to see.

"No more?" Felix asked.

Valen turned the bottle upside down, shook it twice, and it was completely empty.

"It should be enough, they are just born, it's better not to feed too much at one time..." Felix couldn't make up his mind.

At this time, a rustling sound came from behind them.

Valen raised his head and opened his mouth wide through the bottom of the glass bottle.

"Well——" Felix also felt a little bad. He turned his head and saw the mother bird and snake slowly raised her body from behind them, her body continued to expand, and her huge, bird-like head was facing them. Press down.

'A bird snake will attack anyone who comes near it, especially if it is protecting its eggs. ’

At the same time that these words flowed through Felix's heart, he had pulled Varun to appear twenty feet away. This little distance is nothing to the bird and snake mother, and they can be reached by running forward, but fortunately, Felix has stayed for a few days, so he can barely be regarded as familiar.

So the mother bird snake just surrounded the bird nest and looked at them vigilantly~IndoMTL.com~ As Felix and Valen retreated in compromise, the body of the bird snake mother also began to shrink a little bit, and soon As soon as it exposed its protective nest, the little birds and snakes chirped and climbed onto their mother, flapping their wings strangely, and looked at the "breeder" going away.

"Let's go back too."

Felix said contentedly.

On the way back, they passed an empty tree hole, "Hi, Lightning." Felix greeted, and Varen also waved towards the tree hole, which was the home of an invisible beast. Then they passed through a small open plain, walked across a long single-plank bridge, and returned to the landing place.

This is adjacent to the exit, and it is also the most human-like place in the entire basement.

There were pots and pots and books everywhere, and Felix thought he was back in the potions professor's place when he saw it suddenly, even though the contents of the bottles were quite different.

It never occurred to him to introduce the two to each other.

It was bound to be an unfriendly meeting.
