A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 563: Fantastic Beasts of the North Pole
At the same time, Felix is building a house in the ice and snow of the North Pole, and Varun is hiding under his thick dragonskin hat, which is very uncomfortable with the endless glaciers.
Felix has had a pretty fulfilling two weeks. After the Christmas dinner, he spent a day concentrating on the affairs of the company, and then appeared at Newt’s country house non-stop. The Scamanders received him, and Newt’s wife—Tina Scamander De, a kind and serious old lady, knew that he was planning an excursion, and thoughtfully prepared twelve flavors of hot dogs for Felix.
"Honey, you can make some apple pie as a side note," Newt said.
"I can't always control the heat well." Tina said with a glance at him.
In the next three days, Felix traveled to and from magical animal sanctuaries around the world according to Newt's instructions, collecting the magical animals listed in his mind one by one. In the last week of the vacation, he To the most uncertain North Pole.
"A magical animal that can split itself?" Newt said, "Did my memory tell you? Frankly, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I saw it once in the northernmost part of the world, and it was A kind of ferret, or a fox, or a wolf...it could be. They split themselves up when they hunt, kind of like the civets in the French Ministry of Magic's stronghold. Although they are completely different, the civet is not a living thing, but a spirit body... "
Felix is very curious about this magical animal.
I have to admit that when he heard it for the first time in Room 7, his heart was blown. Knowing that Felicia Felix was useless, he used up the last of his stock and set off on a rambling search.
His strengths lie in his superior mobility through Apparition, and his eyes that can discern magic.
But the North Pole is too big, too big to make people hopeless, and he can only keep drawing circles outward based on the approximate location provided by Newt. Fortunately, he found a very precious gemstone from the American black market. The gemstone came from a kind of long-horned water snake unique to the local area. The gemstone on its forehead can make people invisible and fly. Felix wove it into a flying carpet so that he can float in the air without any burden.
Felix can fly by himself, but it requires a lot of mana, and he rarely uses it unless it is fighting. Comparing it horizontally, Voldemort seems to be very familiar with it. Felix wondered if he had dissected a long-horned water snake and transplanted its blood into his body. Of course, it might also be a Voldemort?
"There are still two days left, so go back if you can't find it." Felix said, the ice house was built quickly, he got in and cast the Untraceable Stretching Charm to expand the interior space, and lit a fire inside, Only then did Varen jump out of the hat.
"Didn't you have fun with those otters yesterday?"
"Chirp!"
"The constant temperature locket is invalid? That's right, you've been using it for a long time. I'll make you one later, forget it, let's buy one." Felix took out a thick blanket and an iron pot from the ring, and turned Looking at Warren, he said hesitantly: "Do you like grilled fish or boiled soup? Of course, we also have plenty of hot dogs..."
Warren retched twice.
"A bit greasy? How picky." Felix smacked his lips. In the end he didn't touch the hot dogs either - he had enough in his two days in the Brazilian rainforest.
On a new day, Felix sat on the flying carpet and looked down from a height of thousands of feet. The magic point of view can't keep up.
Warren leaned on his back, happily playing a small game. The game came from the magic painting club in the school. At that time, the club was considering what theme to use as the material for the interactive magic painting. At a critical moment, Valen appeared. It not only provided the core inspiration, but also included a considerable amount of financial support.
Therefore, a small magic painting game called "Brave Warrior" appeared with Xixiu as the main character.
It took a while to "kill all directions", Varun took out a new magic painting from his pocket, sniffed and jumped to another magic painting among the paintings waiting anxiously at the edge of the level, wearing a luxurious Edition exclusive magic wand, start challenging new levels.
On the other side, Felix made a new discovery.
A creature with snow-white fur nimbly shuttled on the white ground. Following its direction, Felix found a nest of arctic rabbits fleeing frantically. The creature was indeed very much like the one Newt described, a cross between an arctic fox and an arctic wolf, but much smaller, looking about the size of a ferret.
The most important thing is that Felix saw the fast-flowing magic power from this creature.
Having magical power means that it is a magical animal.
Felix is floating in the air two to three hundred feet. The snow-white magical animal is ignorant of the observation of the mysterious man above. flexible. This magical animal jumped high when approaching the Arctic rabbit, and when it reached the apex, an identical entity separated from its body. Two white shadows interlaced on the snowy ground. They were connected with each other and cooperated tacitly. They caught one in the blink of an eye. Unlucky rabbit.
Felix descended while observing, and was amazed in his heart, if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't find any abnormalities.
The magical animal with snow-white fur picked up the rabbit and turned its head to see a strange creature falling from the sky.
Felix smiled kindly.
"Little fox? Little wolf? Little ferret? I have delicious hot dogs here..."
Felix released it two days later.
"The harvest is full, let's go, Varen." Varen waved goodbye to his new friends.
"Hey! (Goodbye!)"
"Chirp! (Pay attention to losing weight!)"
"Hey! (Be careful you won't catch food in the future!)"
Felix patted Varun lightly, "It's much more shapely than yours..." Varen was so angry that he wanted to hit him.
…
The Hogwarts train had stopped at Hogsmeade, and the little wizards who were going home for the festival returned to school in a carriage.
As the prefects, Ron and Hermione organized the little wizards to get into the carriage, and got into the carriage as the last group. As soon as they entered, the Thestral carriage started to move.
"What, it's all black magic? Snape?" Hermione looked at Harry and Ron in surprise. She hadn't changed her mind after spending two weeks traveling with her parents. "Hmm... It's normal to think about it, isn't it? We all know that he is very interested in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Maybe he is preparing for the class..."
Harry said sadly: "If this is the case, it means that we only have to endure another year..."
"The point is that he's still sneaky, wandering around the house in the middle of the night, Ginny can testify." Ron added.
"Oh, well, I don't know, but this is his private matter." Hermione stroked her hair, "Have you finished your homework, I think some things can be changed."
Harry and Ron looked at each other, obviously spending more time guessing Snape's motives.
"I'm almost..." Ron glanced at Harry uneasily, but Harry didn't say anything.
"Well, if you don't turn in your homework tomorrow, will you tell the professors why?" Hermione asked sharply. Harry sighed. After returning to school, they had a hasty dinner and came to the library. There were quite a few students already seated inside, and they found an empty table to sit down at random, and Hermione looked around thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?"
"Close your ears and listen to this spell seems to be starting to catch on."
Harry looked around, and he did notice that some students opened and closed their mouths quickly, but they didn't make a sound. The gloomy face of the librarian, Mrs. Binns, appeared from the gap in the bookshelf again and again, as if she couldn't find prey The vultures circled at high altitude for two weeks and left regretfully.
Harry tapped the table with his wand, and the sound around them also became indistinct, sounding like a low, noisy hum.
Harry dug out his homework, his history of magic paper was still a bit short of finishing~IndoMTL.com~ He unscrewed the ink bottle, the tip of the quill was saturated with ink, and started to write on the parchment. When he looked up, he saw Snape's figure flashing past among the bookshelves.
Harry's heart was pounding, his eyes tried to follow Snape's movements, and he was surprised to find that he stayed in the restricted area for a long time, and finally sat down at a table, reading a book. It wasn't until the library was about to close that Snape got up and left with the book.
"Wait for me." Harry stood up and said to Ron and Hermione. "What?" But he had already bent over from his seat.
After a while, he came back with lingering fear.
"What's wrong?" Ron asked, "You look like you just got hit with a feather duster by Mrs. Binns..."
"Snape, the book Snape read..." Harry swallowed, "It's "Toxic Magic."
"So?" Hermione asked irritably, her eyes still on her paper, "Harry, he is a professor, even if he studies the dark arts, there must be a valid reason, he may be thinking How to crack it... If you can check his borrowing records, you will probably find more."
"Great idea," said Ron, "Hey, I'm serious, we could really try it!"
"You're wrong now, Hermione." Harry said in a low voice, "I don't read as many books as you, I only heard this name once..."
Hermione looked up, staring blankly at Harry's face.
She said in a dry voice: "I remember... there is a passage in the preface of this book, 'The Horcrux, the most evil magical invention, is not discussed here, nor is it given guidance' ...Harry, you think he's investigating..."
She didn't go on, but both Harry and Ron knew what she meant—that Snape might be secretly investigating Horcruxes.
