Harry Potter’s Fantastic Animals Guide

Chapter 28: Newt's Owl Science

   After the transformation incident, John's relationship with David has improved. John will try his best to meet David's usual needs.

   And John also became David's fighting coach. During the training process, David discovered that John's fighting skills were actually very good, but it seemed that he didn't want to use spells to attack others.

   In the process of getting along happily with John, time flies extremely fast, and it quickly enters June.

   The weather has become very hot, and the air is rippling under the scorching sunlight.

   David and John walked out of the forest carrying a basket. The basket was filled with many medicinal materials that John needed. During this period of time, he showed his outstanding potion talent.

   Now he is trying to make a wolf poison potion by himself, lest Newt have to spend money to buy it.

   After all, the money to buy medicinal materials is much less than that of medicine.

   When he walked to the door, David suddenly heard a loud bird call from behind, a little owl.

   David wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned and looked up, an owl with a white abdomen and a pale yellow back was flying towards him.

   David stretched his arm forward, and the owl flapped its wings and slowly landed on his hand.

   "Grandpa, come and see." David walked into the room carrying the owl and said.

  Newt turned his head and took a few strides. After taking the owl from David's hand, he looked back at Tina. She was still sitting on the sofa without any reaction.

  Newt coughed twice and said loudly to David: "This bird is called a grass owl, and do you see that this owl's face looks like a monkey's face?"

   David looked at the owl's face. It was really like this. Its face was flat and heart-shaped, with dark maroon edges around it, and white fluff in the middle, which looked exactly like a monkey face.

   "So in China, local residents also call them monkey-faced eagles." After Newt finished speaking, she glanced at Tina again, and she still didn't respond.

"Grass owls mainly build nests in tree holes or rock gaps. During the day they will hide in the forest to recharge their energy. At night, they will come out to hunt. They usually feed on rats, frogs, snakes, etc.," Newt continued: "They have a cruel temperament. After catching a mouse, the smaller ones will swallow it directly, while the larger ones will peck the head first, and then swallow it after tearing the mouse's body."

   "And even if they are full, they will not easily let go when they meet a mouse. This kind of bird is distributed in many parts of the world."

   After Newt finished speaking, Tina finally reacted. She snorted and said, "Hogwarts sent the admission letter?"

   Newt breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended to suddenly realize: "Oh, Tina, if you don't say I really haven't seen it, it seems that there is a letter tied to its feet."

  Newt took the letter from the monkey-faced eagle's feet and read: "Mr. David Scamander, take it, um, it's for you, David, take it apart and take a look."

   David opened the envelope, took out the letter inside and looked at it.

   read a few big words on the top: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

   reads below:

  Dear Mr. Scamander:

   We are happy to inform you that you have been approved to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A list of books and equipment required on the envelope. The semester is scheduled to start on September 1. We will be waiting for your owl to bring your reply before July 31st.

  Vice principal (female)

  Minerva McGonagall

   "Grandma, it's the admission letter from Hogwarts." David said.

   "Is there anything to buy for the new semester on it?" Tina said blankly.

   "Yes." David took out a piece of paper at the back, which was written with books and crucibles and other equipment needed for the new semester.

   "Should I take you to buy it?" Tina said coldly.

   "No, no need." Newt replied first: "Tomorrow, I will take David. It just so happens that I haven't taken him out for a long time, so I take this opportunity to buy him some gifts."

   Tina snorted again, but didn't object to it, and I don't know how Newt convinced her to agree to David's study at Hogwarts.

John who was standing next to him also breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere just now was a bit depressed. He said, "Are you going to study at Hogwarts? Studying at the magic school is a very interesting thing, you will love it. ."

   David nodded and said, "Is the Ilvermony School of Witchcraft and Wizardry also used owls to send admission notices?"

   "Oh, no, it seems that only Hogwarts is the case. Our admission notices suddenly appeared in our mailbox or at the door. No one knows how they delivered it." John shrugged.

   "Where is the branch?" David asked with interest.

   "Um~" John thought for a while, "When freshmen enter the school, they will first be taken into the rotunda at the entrance of the castle. There are four wooden carvings representing the four colleges."

   "When the new students enter in line, the rest of the teachers and students will watch on the circular terrace above."

   "After standing against the wall in a circle, freshmen will be called one by one to the center of the stone floor of the hall, above the Knot of Goldie."

   "The four magical sculptures will consider whether they want this student to study in their own college. UU reading www.uukanshu.com can know which college the student is attending based on their reaction."

   "For example, when you meet a suitable student, the crystals embedded in the forehead of the long-horned water snake will shine, the cats and leopards will roar, the thunderbirds will flap their wings, and Pukki will raise the bow and arrow in his hand."

   David slapped his lips after listening. The sorting ceremony of Ilvermony School of Witchcraft and Wizardry sounds more advanced than Hogwarts!

   Hogwarts has been around for thousands of years, and it seems to be using that broken hat to sort out the hospital?

   Suddenly, David realized a problem, and he said: "What if four sculptures recognize the new student at the same time? How to divide the hospital? Let the four sculptures fight, and whoever wins will go?"

John smiled and said: "Of course not. If the freshman is recognized by the four sculptures, then the student will choose the college he likes. For example, the former chairman of the Magic Congress Serafina Piquet Ni was recognized by four sculptures at the same time, and finally she chose the Longhorn Water Snake Academy."

   "This situation will only happen once in about ten years." John added.

   David suddenly felt a little regretful. I can't go to Ilvermony School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The once-in-a-decade scene is probably gone...

   Hey, I don't know if the Sorting Hat will not call out the names of the four colleges.

   There is a scene in David's mind.

  The Sorting Hat shouted the names of the four schools.

  All the teachers and students stood there blankly, looking at themselves in disbelief.

   The deans of the four major colleges stood next to him, holding their hands, and constantly driving various preferential conditions for themselves, asking themselves to enroll in their colleges.

  啧, don't you say this picture is pretty beautiful.
