Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Unfortunately, Hermione's wish did not come true——

Because early the next morning, Umbridge was still wearing a pink plush dress, but today she had a bright purple bow on her head.

——Harry swore that the moment he just looked up, he saw countless little witches wearing the same or similar jewelry with his peripheral vision. When Umbridge appeared, they silently took off those little witches from their hair or wrists. Bright purple jewelry.

Prior to this, the second day Umbridge appeared at Hogwarts, the number of pink accessories worn by witches and wizards in Hogwarts was reduced by half.

On the third day, it was reduced by half again, and now there are almost no girls wearing pink accessories.

It can be said that Umbridge single-handedly discouraged all girls in Hogwarts from wearing pink accessories.

That night, Harry and Hermione were not called to solitary confinement by Umbridge. Apparently, Umbridge did not notice that Harry and Hermione's hands were healed during breakfast time.

Harry and Hermione were also happy to see this——

Although the magical willow tree did not fulfill their wish to make Umbridge disappear, it at least made Umbridge disappear in their spare time——

Harry and Hermione were very satisfied to achieve this.

Because History of Magic and Muggle Studies were moved together by Dumbledore, Gryffindor's fifth grade students only had one Care of Magical Creatures lesson in the morning today——

Lessons from Newt Scamander, author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

To be honest, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all looking forward to this class.

Because they already know how exciting this course is from the conversations of the middle and high school wizards who have already taken this course.

The location of their classes was still next to the Forbidden Forest, on the lawn in front of Hagrid's hut.

Hagrid's hut was still locked, which meant that Hagrid had not come back. In the square of Hagrid's hut, stood a tall and thin old man like a bamboo pole.

The old man has thick gray-white hair and a neat and clean beard. He is wearing an elegant dress that was popular decades ago. He is holding a dark brown, old suitcase in one hand.

None other than Newt Scamander, author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Newt Scamander appears to be a little hunched over.

Harry, Ron and Hermione could see that Newt Scamander was trying his best to straighten his back, but he still looked a little bit rough, which was completely incomparable with Hagrid's tall and honest appearance - —

Of course, except for the Beauxbatons headmistress who came to Hogwarts last year, no one is taller and more honest than Hagrid.

Harry, Ron and Hermione were the first ones to arrive, and when they were on the way, Ron was even eating a cheese and ham sandwich brought out from the Great Hall——

Because Harry and Hermione didn't want Umbridge to discover that the scars on their hands had healed, almost the moment Umbridge entered the auditorium, Harry and Hermione stood up in unison and pulled Ron walked towards the back door of Hogwarts.

This resulted in Ron not finishing his breakfast, and could only grab a few slices of sandwich and eat it while walking.

When the three people arrived in front of Hagrid's hut, Newt Scamander, standing on the empty grassland, smiled and nodded at them——

"Good morning, Mr. Potter, hello, Mr. Weasley, hello...um...Miss Granger, right?" Newt Scamander nodded politely.

"Good morning, Professor Scamander." Harry, Hermione and Ron said hello at the same time -

Their greetings unconsciously became louder and more uniform.

It was so neat that even they themselves were shocked.

"Haha... kids, don't be so nervous." Newt Scamander smiled and waved his hand, seeming to be a little nervous because of the uniform greetings from Harry, Ron, and Hermione just now, "I don't I hope you will treat my class as a serious class, well...I hope...I hope you can have an interesting and wonderful journey."

"Okay Professor," Hermione replied.

Because Harry, Ron, and Hermione arrived too early, now they and Newt Scamander can only stand in the cool morning wind and stare at each other——

Obviously, Newt Scamander is not a particularly sociable person. His old but bright eyes looked at the trio of deducted points for a while, and then looked elsewhere. The hand that was not carrying the box was a little nervous. pocket, and took it out after a while.

Harry, Ron and Hermione were also nervous and their eyes were darting around.

"Well...your...your father's name is Arthur Weasley, right?" After a few minutes of awkward and long silence, Newt Scamander felt that he could no longer go on like this, so he spoke.

"Hmm...huh? Yes, yes." Ron obviously didn't expect Newt Scamander to talk to him, and replied a little startled, "What...what's wrong? Professor Scamander." "

"No, it's nothing," Newt said, "I just think you and your father looked really alike when they were young."

"Oh...um...thank you," Ron said.

Then there was another awkward silence.

"Miss Granger...Hermione Granger, right?" Newt Scamander said again.

"Um...yes, yes Professor." Hermione replied.

"Dumbledore told me about you... He said you were the smartest little witch he had ever seen at your age," Newt said.

"Thank you, Professor." Hermione said, then paused, as if she mustered up the courage, and said, "Professor Scamander, you are the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Do you have any thoughts on the situation?”

"I think...the Ministry of Magic is not doing a good enough job..." Newt said, "I know that in the black market of Knockturn Alley, there are still many dark wizards who are hunting magical animals, and they are facing The punishment is only a fine, and some of the fines are not even as much as they earn. The cost of committing a crime is too low, which is why——"

"Professor, please forgive me for interrupting." Hermione said, "I mean, creatures like house elves, centaurs, and humans that possess human intelligence and understand human language should really be classified as magical animals. ?"

"In other words, even though they are magical animals, why are they treated differently from other magical animals?" Hermione then asked, "Do you think the way humans, horses, house elves and wizards get along is normal? ? Is it reasonable? Based on your knowledge of magical animals, should it be so?"

"Ah... this..." Newt Scamander obviously did not expect that a young wizard of Hermione's age would ask such a question. He was a little at a loss for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

…

At the same time, Tiera, who was still sitting at her desk preparing lessons in Dumbledore's office, suddenly raised her head in horror.

Just now, just now, after Hermione asked that series of questions——

Tiera noticed that the smooth line of fate in this world suddenly had a ripple——

A sudden change appeared in the unchanging world——

Hermione became a wild card.

I'm really sorry everyone, it's a little late today.

The recent content may be a bit boring and boring. I would like to apologize to everyone here. I am really sorry. As soon as I finish the training, I have to move things from the centralized training campus in the suburbs to my home. I have been busy these days. Moving, secondly, my roommates who have been together for a year are about to part ways. Although they are all in Beijing, to be honest, I am really a little reluctant and sad, so I have been in a low mood recently, and then this Wednesday I have to go to the Institute of Botany to do experiments. I have officially started the 9-to-5 scientific research life of a graduate student, and the rhythm may not be easy to adapt to for a while, so the content of the recent update may be a little watery, so please forgive me!
