Chapter 608: Wampus Cat Ilver

~6 min read 1,083 words

Newt Scamander was leaving.

Before leaving, the only thing he was a bit worried about was the little wizard who didn't have high talent in spells.

It was not very safe to study space magic alone, so at this dusk, he sent a letter to Hogwarts.

According to the little wizard's performance yesterday, he had just learned weather magic and hadn't had time to arrange the space expanded by the Undetectable Extension Charm.

This was also a step belonging to the alchemy system that required a lot of time.

Even for him, it would take at least two weeks to perfect an alchemy creation of more than three hundred square meters.

Moonlight fell on the quiet Ilvermorny Forest.

Xiang Xien was walking while checking the panel:

【High-Rank Wizard's Book: Apprentice level (10/300)】

The perfected Wizard's Book was indeed a high-rank alchemy creation; if there hadn't been Mr. Scamander's guidance, Xiang Xien guessed that his own exploration of space magic would have taken a lot of effort.

Fortunately, it was completed before the old Hufflepuff senior left, and Xiang Xien's final task was to pocket the Wampus cat.

It's just that he didn't know if Headmistress Herrera would agree...

But in any case, Xiang Xien prepared to find the Wampus cat first.

After all, in these few days, the closeness had unknowingly reached 【relatively close】.

In the soft sound of night snow, only the little wizard's wand was glowing in Ilvermorny Forest.

Very quickly, Xiang Xien found those yellow eyes in the deep ink color.

The big cat, shaped like a cougar, came to Xiang Xien's feet with a few jumps.

Xiang Xien tapped the Wizard's Book quickly, using the Summoning Charm to take out some raw meat and fruits.

Hand over the raw meat, quietly touch the big cat, then scratch the Wampus cat's chin, press its ear roots, and help it smooth the fur on its back...

Unknowingly, the Wampus cat exposed its belly.

【You have gained the closeness of the magical creature Wampus cat (unnamed) with expert standards, closeness +50】

"Do you want to go in and take a look? There is a lot of food inside, very warm."

Xiang Xien quickly unfolded the space inside the Wizard's Book and said:

The Wampus cat let out a purring sound, and Xiang Xien knew it was saying "yes."

"Then, follow me, okay?"

Immediately, Xiang Xien walked forward, completely ignoring why he could understand the Wampus cat's voice.

In the wizarding world, only specific magical bloodlines: such as Parseltongue, the Dumbledore family bloodline, could communicate directly with animals;

Besides that, there were only Animagi. Wizards could understand the language of the animals that were the same as their own Animagus transformation. However, this generally happened after the wizard's Animagus transformation.

As for Xiang Xien, he seemed a bit special.

When Xiang Xien realized this after the fact, the soul horcrux was emitting a faint fluorescence, and Xiang Xien guessed that this might be the effect of soul transformation.

And not far away.

At a beech tree.

Two tall wizards were standing under the tree crown covered with snow.

"In 1832, the Cincinnati wizard Abel Treetops claimed to have obtained a patent for taming Wampus cats and letting them guard wizard residences.

But for a magical creature with wisdom like a Wampus cat, this is completely impossible.

Later, I let the Magical Congress raid Treetops' home, and sure enough, I found that he was casting an enlargement spell on Kneazles, which revealed the fact that he was a liar."

Headmistress Herrera said slowly; she looked at the Wampus cat and the little wizard in the snow, and her mood seemed good,

"Dear, the animals in Ilvermorny Forest are free, you and I both know, but I have only seen you as the one who can take away a Wampus cat."

"His Undetectable Extension book hasn't been perfected yet."

The shy Newt said a sentence that was not very relevant.

"It seems you think dear Mr. Hermes is also gifted in magical creatures?"

Headmistress Herrera blinked.

Newt stroked the Kneazle in his arms, just smiled, and didn't speak.

And in the moonlight, the place where their gazes gathered.

A book suddenly grew larger, forming a huge wooden door, and one could vaguely see the wooden house inside, and the vast wilderness and forest outside the window of the wooden house.

"You mean, Mr. Green's Undetectable Extension book hasn't been perfected yet? Dear, this is the first time I've seen you lie."

Headmistress Herrera seemed to be marveling.

Beside her, Mr. Scamander was already a bit stunned.

He clearly remembered that the little wizard had only learned weather magic yesterday, and also yesterday, the inside of his Wizard's Book was still empty.

"Your expression is not very good."

Headmistress Herrera looked at her old friend with interest.

"One night..."

Newt showed a helpless smile.

Sometimes he would feel that some wizards really couldn't be imagined according to common sense.

"Dear Mr. Hermes, how long did he spend?"

Headmistress Herrera couldn't wait to ask.

"One..."

Newt responded lightly.

"A week? Oh, I think it's really incredible."

Headmistress Herrera narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose.

"One..."

Newt didn't have any irritability at being interrupted, or rather, he was already used to this way of getting along with his old friend.

"A day?!"

Headmistress Herrera exclaimed.

"One night."

Seeming to realize that he was going to be interrupted again, Newt finished speaking quickly.

"... How much possibility do I have to keep Mr. Green?"

Headmistress Herrera held her wand, her gaze burning.

Now it was Newt's turn to smile shyly.

Headmistress Herrera's words reminded him of another headmaster across the Atlantic.

"Alright, just a joke..."

Headmistress Herrera raised an eyebrow, and seeing her old friend laughing happily, she also laughed.

The two of them clearly didn't deliberately lower their voices, but the little wizard in the distance didn't hear anything at all.

He walked toward the door, and the Wampus cat entered it two jumps ahead of him.

Xiang Xien's small wooden house had a few photos, as well as a warm and comfortable bed and a wardrobe.

Besides that, there were many manuscripts and books.

Beside the small wooden house was a food storage room surrounded by a small creek.

Xiang Xien waved his wand, the door opened, and the Wampus cat was surrounded by all kinds of raw meat.

It let out a huge purring sound, and the closeness also increased by 50 points.
