A certain Hogwarts magical cat

Chapter 235 Newt's Manor

The Dueling Club was only held once because of Lockhart's farce, and it was never held again.
In the following period of time, no matter how Lockhart tried to restore his image, no little wizard would believe that he was the powerful and wise wizard in the book.

In this way, the time soon came to the Christmas holiday,
Like last year, both Harry and Ron chose to stay in school, while Alice and Hermione chose to go home.

The only difference is that this time Charlie did not immediately return to the orphanage with Alice, but went to Dorset with Dumbledore after explaining the reason to Alice.

Although Alice was reluctant to be separated from Charlie, when Charlie promised to try his best to return to the orphanage on Christmas Day, she had no choice but to agree.

"Are you ready?"

On the snow outside Hogwarts Castle, Dumbledore asked Charlie, who was lying on his shoulders.

"Okay, let's start!"

Charlie gripped Dumbledore's robes tightly around his shoulders and nodded.

"Actually, I don't really like to use apparation to travel, because it will not only make you miss a lot of beautiful scenery, but also make you uncomfortable.
But since you ask, be patient for a while! "

After Dumbledore muttered something, he waved the Elder Wand in his hand and read:

"Apparate!"

It turned out that Dumbledore's original plan was to sit in a comfortable magic carriage and enjoy the scenery while heading to Dorset, where Newt was.

But in order to be able to rush back to the orphanage before Christmas, Charlie asked him to use Apparition to save time.

As Dumbledore's spell ended, he and Charlie seemed to be swallowed by space at once, and then disappeared in place.

"This feeling is really, really amazing!"

Charlie only felt that his surroundings became pitch black in an instant. Even if he had night vision ability, he couldn't see anything, and what followed was a strong sense of squeezing in all directions.

However, Charlie is not afraid of this kind of physical squeeze, because his physical body is many times stronger than that of ordinary wizards. The unbearable oppression that ordinary wizards feel is really nothing to him.

After about three breaths, Charlie's eyes returned to normal again, and they appeared by a clear stream.

"how do you feel?"

Dumbledore asked Charlie over his shoulder.

"Not bad, very interesting!"

Charlie replied without thinking.

Dumbledore was a little surprised at first, but suddenly thought of something, and said in a daze:
"I forgot, your body is not comparable to that of a wizard!"

"Are we here yet?"

Charlie turned his head and looked around, but he didn't see any manor, it seemed to be just a remote place with no one in it.

"Not yet, he lives far away from the school, even I can't use Apparation to get there in one go, so I have to move a few more times!"

Dumbledore explained with a smile, and then used Apparation again.

In this way, after Dumbledore used the apparition five times in a row, they finally came to a small manor that did not occupy a large area.

"Okay, it's here, this person is old, but of course it's not as good as when he was young!"

The five consecutive apparitions did not have any effect on Charlie, but it caused Dumbledore to suffer a lot.
He is so old, and his body is not as good as when he was young. Five consecutive long-distance apparitions are still very strenuous, not because of the magic power, but mainly because his body is a little uncomfortable being squeezed by the space.

Newt Scamander's manor is located in a remote area of ​​Dorset, a small manor that looks very ordinary in appearance,
There is a cement-paved path at the gate of the manor, along the path to the west about five kilometers away, there is a Muggle village.

"Let's go in!"

After Dumbledore regained his strength, he said something to Charlie, and led him towards the gate of the manor.

"Professor, didn't you just write yesterday saying that it would take two days to arrive? Why did you arrive today!"

The gate of the manor opened, and a slightly thin white-haired old wizard in a Muggle coat appeared in front of Charlie.
Obviously, he was a little surprised by Dumbledore's appearance today.

"Oh, I wanted to be here two days late, but the little guy can't wait!"

Dumbledore pointed to Charlie on his shoulder and smiled.

"Hello, Mr. Newt, I'm Charlie!"

"Hello, magical little guy, the professor has already told me the general situation in the letter, you are welcome to visit my manor, come in quickly, I will ask Tina to pour you a glass of homemade mead to slow down!"

Newt showed great interest in Charlie's sound transmission ability, and then smiled and invited one person and one cat in.

"Newt, who's here?"

At this time, another old woman's inquiry came from the room.

"Tina, it's Professor Dumbledore and a little guy who is interested, go and get a pot of hot mead."

In the living room, Charlie drank sweet, warm mead, which could hardly feel the alcohol, and looked at the whole room.

The interior of the room looks no different from an ordinary Muggle manor, and the furniture is also ordinary Muggle items.

If he hadn't known it in advance, he would have never expected that this was the manor of the famous magizoologist, Newt.

"To be honest, since I received the professor's letter, I have been looking for relevant information, but I haven't found any magical animals similar to you!

Your appearance is almost the same as that of a phantom cat, but your legilimency is somewhat similar to that of a cat and leopard, but among all the magical animals I know,

But no one has such a strong learning ability and creative ability as you! "

Newt sat on the sofa and said with a look of surprise after seeing Charlie cast several representative spells of wizards and perform an Animagus transformation.

As the most authoritative magizoologist in the entire wizarding world, during the 94 years he was alive, he traveled to almost all countries on the earth, seeing and recording hundreds of thousands of magical animals.

Although they each have unique magical abilities, and even the magical abilities of some magical animals, there is no way for wizards to simulate them now.

And there are also many magical animals that have their own magic systems and wisdom no less than that of humans.

However, there is not even a magical animal that can learn the spells of human wizards and successfully cast them. Therefore, he was very surprised to see that Charlie can cast wizard spells normally.

"It's no wonder I can find out, I'm just a phantom cat!"

Hearing Newt's answer, Charlie felt nothing in his heart, because he had expected this result.
