Chapter 282: Newt Scamander (Edited)

Because Dumbledore had to write a letter to Newt Scamander to confirm when he was coming, and letters would take a long time to come and go, so Fish had to leave Uroboros in the Chamber of Secrets while he and Professor McGonagall returned to Hogsmeade.

The cat's return to town was a big event for the residents of Hogsmeade, and they threw a welcome home party for Fish at the Three Broomsticks bar.... Even though it was Fish's birthday in a few days, they didn't mind the extra party.

And those grandmothers, aunts and sisters who hadn't seen Fish in a long time even hugged and petted the kitten, and didn't want to let go of him at all.

At first, Fish struggled a bit, but then gave up and let the terrifying women have their way....

Anyway, it wasn't the first time, he had already gone through it once last year, it had only been a year and the kitten had forgotten about it, and now that he was reviving it, Fish was a worn out cat....

"Minerva~"

?(●QДQ●)?

The cat, which had managed to escape, leapt into Professor McGonagall's arms and grumbled, "Why didn't you save Fish?"

It was the same thing last year, no matter how much Fish asked for help, Professor McGonagall was calmly drinking butterbeer.

Professor McGonagall patted his head with a smile and teased, "They're so enthusiastic because they like Fish, who made my Fish so cute?"

"If I had known earlier, Fish would have stayed at Hogwarts and not come back nya..."

(〃｀3′〃)

The kitten puckered his mouth and spoke angrily.

Professor McGonagall gently pinched his cheeks and comforted him, "Don't worry, it's only this year, they're just a bit excited because they haven't seen you for a long time, next term, you can come to Hogsmeade on weekends, and then you'll see everyone more often and it won't happen again."

"Can I come back next term nya?"

(●?ω?●)

Fish's eyes lit up, "Then can I bring Shadow and the others to play with me?"

"No!"

Professor McGonagall's face immediately darkened.

It's hard enough having a kitten in the house, but a few more magical creatures...

I think you're trying to kill Comey!

"Hey!"

(〃｀3′〃)

Just as Fish returned to Hogsmeade and resumed his simple, boring life of patrolling the territory and collecting offerings, Dumbledore's owl arrived at Newt Scamander's home in Dorset.

As a magical biologist, Newt obviously couldn't refuse Dumbledore's invitation.....

That's the legendary basilisk!

It had been 400 years since there had been any records of basilisks, and if he could see it up close and even study it, his fifty-third edition of "Fantastic Animals and Where to Find Them" would be able to update the content on the basilisk....

Then, a few days later, Newt Scamander arrived in Hogsmeade with his wife Tina and his grandson Rolf...

Because when Dumbledore sent Newt a letter, he invited him to Fish's birthday party.

Newt's grandson, who was attending the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States of America, was visiting his grandparents in England for the summer, so Newt took him with him.

As for his son and daughter-in-law, they stayed home to help care for the magical animals.

When he arrived in Hogsmeade, Newt was a bit groggy.

I mean, he doesn't like to move when he gets older, he used to come to Hogsmeade quite often, in his impression, this is the first time he sees such a lively scene.

A group of people were using spells to carry things, big and small, moving back and forth through the streets, and he even saw the Flume couple, who owned Honeydukes, with a huge cloud of colorful sweets and treats floating above their heads, heading towards the Three Broomsticks bar with a big smile on their faces....

But Rolf Scamander was hungry.

Just as little Rolf was about to follow the "candy cloud" towards the Three Broomsticks, a voice sounded behind them.

"It's been a long time, Newt."

"Professor Dumbledore, it's been a long time."

Newt turned around, gave Dumbledore a tight hug and introduced him to the people around him.

"My wife Tina, who you already know."

He pointed to an older woman standing next to him who looked like Professor McGonagall, the former Auror of the Magical Congress of America, Tina Goldstein, now known as Tina Scamander.

Dumbledore nodded to her, "The last time I saw her was twenty-one years ago, Mrs. Scamander."

"Your memory is as good as ever."

Tina replied with a small smile.

Then Newt pushed his grandson forward again, "This is my grandson Rolf, he just finished his first year at Ilvermorny."

Dumbledore looked at Rolf, who was looking at him curiously, and said with a smile, "What a charming boy.... Why don't you come to Hogwarts?".

Newt shrugged helplessly and explained, "His parents work in the United States of America, it's easier for him to go to school in Ilvermorny.... I'd like to send him to Hogwarts."

"Ilvermorny is great too."

Tina pleaded for her alma mater.

"Oh, of course it is, dear."

Being the wise man that he was, Newt wasn't about to argue with his wife about it, and immediately changed the subject.

"Is there a party today other than the little wizard's birthday?" asked Newt with a curious look as he pointed to the crowded streets, "It's the first time I've seen Hogsmeade so busy."

"No, it's just Fish's birthday," smiled Dumbledore proudly and gestured for the three of them to head to the Three Broomsticks, "You'll see what it's all about when you meet him."

The three followed Dumbledore, confused, towards the Three Broomsticks, the inside of the bar, by now, had been enlarged several times by the undetectable extension charm, there were at least fifty or sixty people inside, Newt estimated that the entire town of Hogsmeade was here, he even saw Flitwick, the Hogwarts Charms teacher.

But what caught his attention most was a small boy with silver-gray cat ears and a black and white striped cat tail.

"Grandpa Albus, where's Fish's birthday present?"

? (●?ω?●)?

As soon as Fish saw Dumbledore enter, he jumped out of his chair and jumped in front of Dumbledore with amazing speed.

"Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho..."

Dumbledore stroked his beard and laughed for a while, then drew Newt Scamander in and pointed at him with a wicked grin, "That's my birthday present to you, do you like it?".

Newt: "..."

(?ω?)

Fish gave Dumbledore, the mean old man, a puzzled look, if it had been two years ago, he might have taken him seriously, now Fish couldn't believe such nonsense.

Still, the kitten approached Newt curiously, shrugging his little nose and sniffing him, his scent was nothing special, except for some miscellaneous odor, but he had a comforting scent, a bit like unicorns, but not as pronounced as theirs.

"This grandfather seems much nicer than you, Albus," Fish said sincerely.

The smile on Dumbledore's face twitched, and suddenly he wasn't very happy.
