A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 499: Magic creatures
"Hi, Newt." Felix said to the busy figures, "Anything?"
"I'm not sure." Newt straightened up from the table, jotted down a few notes in his notes, stared at the rampant "big scorpions" in the glass cabinet, and said hesitantly: "Hagrid calls it As a snail? It seems that the temper is not very good, is it in estrus? Some animals will be stupid when they are in estrus... some people will also."
"No one is sure, this creature has appeared in reality for less than a year, and no one can figure out its habits." Felix said, "Originally, Hagrid was taking care of them, but he was going out He took a long trip and gave me the last few before leaving. He also hopes to get your opinion."
"We still need to observe for a while." Newt stared at the glass cabinet intently, "It is necessary to confirm whether the snails can reproduce stably under natural conditions, which is the most important thing—otherwise they can only disappear into history— -There are too many examples of human intervention to create new species and fail, Hagrid didn't let magic participate, which is good, there is a possibility of stable existence-I think I should build a field, your magic has been restraining them .”
He raised his head with an eager expression on his face.
"Build it stronger," Felix reminded him, "I've never seen a docile snail. They don't seem to have brains."
Newt nodded.
Felix hugged Varen, and together he looked at the ball of wool hanging from the top of his head.
It was a prickly prickly sac. Just as they were observing, the prickly pouch suddenly opened and turned into some kind of huge butterfly-like reptile. It had a pair of skeleton-like wings and looked terrifying like a bat. Hanging upside down and staring at them, Valen in his arms was startled.
The next second, it retracted again.
"Winged Demon, when it's not flying, it will tuck itself into a prickly sac. It's not dangerous, but you'd better not get too close, Norris is a bit shy." Newt smiled secretly. speak.
"Hey?" Varen was still in shock and patted his small chest.
"Norris, his name." Newt repeated, "It's like you are Niffler, but your name is Warren." He looked at Felix, "It's unbelievable that she has learned to write Yes, although the writing is a bit ugly, but...uh, it's already very good, it reminds me of my brother." He almost whispered the last sentence.
Felix stared at the curled up Winged Demon, and couldn't help smacking his lips, "Valen is still better looking." He didn't want to become like that. "So you trained it?" He suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously, "This thing is quite dangerous in the wild."
Newt showed a reminiscing expression.
"I once raised a Winged Demon, he helped me a lot, and Norris is his descendant."
"I see," Felix nodded, and he asked softly, "I guess that Winged Demon caught Grindelwald for you?"
"Oh, oh——" Newt looked at him, "Headmaster Dumbledore told you?"
"No, my source of information is an assistant teacher of Ilvermorny." Felix explained, "He told me that there is a hidden statue of a crouched demon standing in the hall of the Magical Congress of America, in the courtroom Nearby... the inscription on the stone reads 'It helped to defeat the source of unrest'."
"It is said that this statue was left by Serafina Picquery, the chairman of the Magical Congress of America. I guessed so based on the background at the time." He added.
Newt put down the action in his hand and fell into the distant memory, "I can't reveal more - it involves Headmaster Dumbledore. But so far, what you said is correct."
"What kind of person is Grindelwald?" Felix asked sharply, "Shouldn't this be considered illegal?"
"Oh, uh, not really... He's very proud, or confident... and very charismatic, although I don't like it very much..." Newt's voice gradually dropped, and only then did he Just like an old man close to a hundred years old.
Two days later, Felix bid his farewell.
"Hey, Lightning, you're here too." Felix said to the invisible beast next to Newt. It showed its shape today, and it looked like a sloth. Felix handed it an apple.
"Your research done?" Newt asked.
"It's done, much faster than I imagined." Felix said with satisfaction: "I guess it may be because I gave up some goals on my own initiative. Appropriate..."
And it doesn't look good.
"Can I ask," Newt said with an interested expression, "You told me earlier that you wanted to observe the structure of magical animals, using magic—that word is 'scanning'?" He glanced at Felix , Felix nodded at him.
"Hmmm - scanning with magic power, to be honest, I don't quite understand it, it sounds like the process of familiarizing with deformed creatures in Transfiguration..."
"You're right." Felix said with a slight smile.
"Is it really Transfiguration? But it shouldn't be. Ordinary Transfiguration can only change the appearance of magical animals, but cannot reveal the essence. Even the advanced Animagus only removes some disadvantages..." Newt murmured to himself.
"Even Principal Dumbledore—wait a minute, I seem to have seen a similar scene, but it wasn't a complete transformation, and even the skin was changed very little. I always thought it was magic that I didn't know. "
Newt's eyes were shining, staring at Felix, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Can you really do it, can I see it?"
"Of course ~IndoMTL.com~ will be honored to present this skill to the world's greatest expert on magical creatures."
Valen stood on the table, looking at Felix with the same anticipation—even though he had seen it in advance, he was still surprised, what kind of species is the big devil? The invisible beast gnawing on the fruit suddenly opened its eyes wide, and the fruit fell to the ground—it had already seen the next scene.
Felix tilted his head, stared at his fingers cautiously, and began to perform the Transfiguration. A strange feeling spread throughout the body. His body seemed to be melting, his hands began to shrink and merge into his sides, his torso and neck continued to elongate, a pair of blue wings ripped through his clothes like a scimitar, and emerged from his back... Felix He didn't feel any pain, but was warm; there was no panic in his heart, only peace—because he knew what the transformation target was, and he also knew that his body could adapt to this level of change.
He is a magical creature.
Felix lowered his head, but his body expanded rapidly, and his eyes were higher than Newt's. The blue, bird-like head was about the size of an invisible beast. It looked down at the people present from a high position. Its eyes moved slightly, and it could easily see the rivers, caves and plains farther away.
He turned into a bird snake.
