Chapter 94: The Order Of Merlin, A Parting Gift To Newt

Chapter 94: The Order Of Merlin, A Parting Gift To Newt

When he came out of the Thunderbird Sanctuary, Newt's hands were shaking slightly.

Only Wayne still had a faint smile on his face.

Back in the bar room, Newt said awkwardly: "Wayne, are you really going to bring Thunderbirds to Hogwarts?"

"Of course." Wayne said with a smile: "This is still a little guy, so he must be raised by his side."

The two finally took away a little Thunderbird that was just one and a half years old and was the heir of the King of Thunderbirds.

With the Thunder Lord's decree and magical animal affinity talent.

When he proposed to take away a thunderbird, he got the consent of the king of thunderbirds and his wife with almost no effort.

If Newt hadn't tried to stop him, both Thunderbirds would have wanted to leave with Wayne.

A small one is fine, but if all the thunderbird leaders in the reserve ran away with Wayne, the Magical Congress of the United States would probably go crazy.

"Then you must take good care of it." Newt warned: "If you need anything, please contact me at any time."

If it were anyone else, Newt would never have allowed such a thing to happen.

But Wayne completely belongs to Thunderbird and wants to follow him. He has no right to stop it. This is Thunderbird's freedom.

The two did not stay too long and returned to New York through the fireplace.

Until the afternoon.

Maxim and Rafqi, who had come back from a break, discovered that the two men had slipped away.

"It must be Mr. Scamander's idea." Rafzi patted his thigh in annoyance. He also wanted to take advantage of the past few days to get close to Wayne and bring his daughter over so that the two of them could get to know each other.

Maybe the two of them would get chatting easily and be able to abduct the person to Ilvermorny when the time comes.

Maxim's face didn't look good either.

However, she was not in a hurry. During their chat yesterday, she found out that Wayne was going to participate in the Potions Exchange Exhibition.

The venue of the game happened to be Beauxbatons.

Once she reaches her home court, there is more room for maneuver.

"Ravzi," Maxim said suddenly.

Ravzi looked at her doubtfully.

"Let's discuss compensation." Maxim said seriously: "Although this incident is not the fault of Ilvermorny and the MAC, the Purifiers are also using me to target you."

"In other words, I am not in danger because of you."

Rafqi was also very straightforward: "Whatever request you have, if we can fulfill it, we will never refuse."

"It's not for me..." Maxim shook his head: "I want your school to join forces with me to apply for a Merlin Medal for Mr. Lawrence, preferably first class.

"What?!"

Ravzi was shocked.

"Are you kidding? That's the Order of Merlin. The youngest recipient was sixteen years old, and it was after his death..."

"Ravzi." 043 Maxim interrupted the chatter and looked directly into his eyes: "Mr. Lawrence saved my life, subdued more than a dozen brutal purgers, and saved the relationship between the two countries. "

"Isn't such a contribution worthy of the Medal of Merlin?"

"This..." Ravzi was speechless, but still very embarrassed: "But Wayne's age is destined to be a problem."

"Level 1 is impossible. As for levels 2 and 3, I will try my best..."

Maxim then smiled with satisfaction: "Of course, I just have this intention. The first level is best, and a lower level is not impossible."

"Don't worry, Beauxbatons will operate together with Ilvermorny, and the possibility of the application being successful is not very high.

Although Maxim is tall and tall, his mind is extremely delicate.

Applying for the Order of Merlin for Wayne is not just about repayment, there is also a calculation in it.

First, you can take this opportunity to get closer to Wayne, so that you can abduct him to Beauxbatons.

Secondly, even if Wayne has no intention of transferring schools, he can still use this as a restriction.

Thinking of the recently planned large-scale event, Maxim showed deep worry in his eyes.

In the first grade, he was able to kill more than a dozen Purifiers. Such an exaggerated battle experience

She couldn't even imagine how powerful the boy would be in two or three years.

If he participates in the competition, others will stop playing and go home as soon as possible to wash up and sleep.

With the Order of Merlin, a restriction can be added to prevent him from participating when the time comes, so Beauxbatons still has the possibility of winning.

The naive Ravzi was completely unaware of the twists and turns inside, and was still thinking about how to persuade the members of the Wizengamot to agree to award an eleven-year-old wizard the Order of Merlin.

the other side.

New York time, 4:30 pm.

Wayne and Newt return home.

Tina was sitting in front of the campfire hooking up her sweater and was surprised to see them suddenly come back.

"Come back so soon?"

"There were some accidents, but overall it went smoothly." Newt said tiredly.

"Accident..." Tina raised her eyebrows: "Tell me more specifically.

This old lady used to be an Auror, the kind who would go wherever there was trouble.

Hearing Newt talk about the accident, he was naturally very curious.

Newt had no choice but to start telling stories.

"What, you actually met Kang Qing!"

After hearing this, Tina looked serious and said, "Newt, what did you do? You are such a big man and you still need Wayne to protect you."

Newt smiled bitterly: "Tina, it's not that I don't work hard, it's that Wayne... (adad) is so capable.

Before he even started summoning, Wayne had eliminated the enemy. He was helpless.

Facing Wayne, Tina immediately put on a kind smile and took Wayne's hand:

"Good boy, you are definitely the most talented little wizard I have ever seen. Come on, tell me about the magic spell you created. Can it work with the Thunderbird..."

Seeing the old man and the young man chatting eagerly, Newt helplessly shrugged and went back to the house to rest.

I can't stand it anymore. I've only been out for a few days, and my body and bones can't bear it anymore.

I spent New Year's Day of 1992 at Newt's house, and it was January 9th.

It's time for Wayne to return to London.

In just one weekend, the second half of the school year at Hogwarts will begin.

The night before leaving, Tina cooked a sumptuous dinner and invited Queenie and Jacob from next door to see Wayne off together.

"Remember to write to Grandma, don't just talk to Newt about the animals."

"You must not become as boring as him, no girls will like that.

Wayne responded with a smile. He also liked Tina's temper. She had the frankness of a young man and the kindness of an old man.

Jacob brought two boxes of donuts and bread that he made by himself, one for Wayne and the other for him to bring to Dumbledore.

This made Queenie look bad.

The two sisters couldn't understand why their men had such a good relationship with Dumbledore.

We haven’t seen each other for decades, but we still miss each other so much.

"We will also be moving back to Dorset this year," Newt said. "Don't forget to make time during the summer."

"I will." Wayne nodded.

Previously, he saw that Maxim used Nicoléme to seduce Wayne. Newt said that there is no one who doesn’t know Nicoléme, and he promised to take Wayne to visit the great alchemist.

These days, Newt received a reply from Nicoléme, saying that he was looking forward to Wayne and Newt's arrival, and had scheduled the time for a week after the summer vacation.

The location is Paris.

During the dinner, Wayne asked again: "Have you thought about what I told you before?"

Newt hesitated, "Well, let's forget it. I don't have enough energy."

"Although I also want to go back and see."

"What's the matter?" Tina glanced sideways at the two men. Was there a secret behind her back?

"Oh, I invite Senior Newt to return to school as the professor of biology for protecting artifacts." Wayne smiled and said:

"If he is willing to come, the little wizards in our academy will be very happy."

"Being a professor?" Tina also shook her head: "You are an old man, so don't mess around.

"Ilvermorny also invited Newt to come, but we also rejected it."

This is a secondary reason.

A person who can take care of hundreds of magical animals without relying on assistants.

Even if I don't have enough energy, it's just compared to when I was young. Being a professor is still no problem.

Wayne suspected that Grandma Tina was afraid that Newt would be abducted by Dumbledore again.

Seeing that neither of them agreed, he no longer forced it.

Hagrid will be Hagrid. If he wants to bring out some blast-ended skrewts for class, Wayne will admit it.

After the meal, everyone sat for a while, and Queenie and Jacob were ready to go back to rest.

"Please wait a moment."

Wayne stopped the two of them, and everyone looked at him in confusion.

The boy smiled and said: "I came in a hurry this time, and the Christmas gifts I prepared are also very simple."

"Stop saying that, Wayne." Tina hit her angrily: "I like the music box you gave me very much.

Queenie also smiled and nodded: "Yes, my fashion magazines are also good. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that wizards nowadays are so tasteless in their clothes."

Wayne's mouth twitched.

But think about the gap between Wenda Rozier and Bellatrix.

There's nothing wrong with saying that.

The wizards of the older generation are all in a mess of elegance.

"But that was also a hasty preparation." Wayne quickly brought the topic back on track, "Now I want to give you a real Christmas gift."

After speaking, he snapped his fingers.

The Phoenix King came with a beautiful singing voice and flew out of the fire.

"Phoenix King, use the fire of life."

"Chirp!"

Pure white holy flames scattered all over the sky, and before a few people could react, they had already integrated into their bodies.

The surging and energetic vitality spread crazily, making the four nearly 100-year-olds close their eyes comfortably, trying hard not to moan.

Their waists are no longer bent, they stand straight, the wrinkles on their faces are also reduced, and even black strands appear in their gray hair.

It took ten minutes for a few people to wake up from the pleasure of climbing into the clouds.

They looked at their hands in disbelief, and then at the people next to them.

"Queenie, you!"

"Tina..."

"Jacob, your hair..."

"Newt, stop talking about me, your freckles are almost coming out!"

Only then did a few people understand what the gift Wayne was talking about was and how precious it was.

"Child...I..." Queenie had tears in her eyes and held Wayne's hand tightly, unable to say a complete sentence for a long time.

She was not excited for herself, but for Jacob.

As a wizard, if there is no illness or disaster, it will not be a problem for her to live to be 150 years old.

But what about Jacob?

Even with the help of magic potions, a Muggle who can live to this day is considered to have a long life.

Queenie understood that perhaps one day soon, the man who had accompanied her for more than half a century would quietly leave.

For people who value love and justice, they don’t care about their life span, but

I want the people I care about to live longer.

Of course, it would be great if the two of them could always be together.

Death is just another great adventure.

Wayne always thought this was bullshit.

If he really resurrects Ariana Dumbledore, do you think Lao Deng still wants to die?

"This gift is too expensive." Tina was so excited that she trembled: "Newt and I don't know how to repay you..."

"Grandma Tina." Wayne was unhappy: "I said it's a gift, not a transaction, so don't even think about repaying it."

"I'll come play with you from now on, so don't bother me."

"No, no, you are welcome anytime, anywhere. Tina looked at Wayne with relief and stopped saying those polite words.

Feng Wang fell on the table with some dejection.

Wayne touched her head.

"You can't do this either, it's too much."

"Tweet!" King Feng felt extremely aggrieved.

She is still a baby less than half a year old. If she can do this, she is already eating well and drinking well.

"I'm going to get some herbs for Phoenix King." Newt saw Phoenix King acting more distressed than Wayne, and rushed into the trap door to find the herbs.

The speed is much faster than before.

"You kid." Tina scolded with a smile: "If we had Phoenix King as a partner, it would be too late to pamper her, and you would still laugh at her."

"Tweet!" Seeing someone speaking for him, King Feng immediately became proud.

Now the hair of the four Newts is half white and half black, and they are basically in their sixties.

For the wizard, he is middle-aged and his vitality has almost returned to its peak.

Even Jacob said he could bake five boxes of bread in a row.

When Newt brought a large box of precious herbs, the four of them took turns feeding the Phoenix King. Seeing this heartwarming scene, Wayne also smiled.

As I just said, he never considered repaying gifts.

When Newt gave him the box, he never considered what Wayne would bring him.

When he meets a sincere person, Wayne will repay them with sincerity.

The next day, Wayne got up early, washed up quietly, picked up the box and prepared to leave quietly.

He didn't want to see the sad expressions of Tina and Queenie when they bid him farewell.

But when he walked out of the door and came to the living room, he saw Newt and Jacob already sitting there leisurely.

Seeing Wayne tiptoeing around, Uncle Newt couldn't help but smile.

"Queenie's guess was indeed correct. She said yesterday that you would leave secretly.

"Don't worry, they understand what you mean and won't come to see you off."

"That's okay." Wayne breathed a sigh of relief, Newt stood up, and Jacob gave Wayne a hug and asked him to come to New York more often in the future, and then left.

"Let's go for a walk?"

"Okay, the flight will take a while."

Wayne carried the box, and Newt followed him and took out a bag of seeds.

"These are the herbs that Phoenix likes to eat, and you can plant them in the box.

"If it's not enough, I've also planted a lot here. If you need it, just ask as soon as possible."

Newt is a man of few words, and this is the only way he can think of to thank King Phoenix.

As for Wayne, whenever the boy is in need, he will appear by Wayne's side without hesitation.

Along the way, Newt also talked about the precautions for taking care of Thunderbirds, and Wayne noted that there are indeed very few records about Thunderbirds at Hogwarts.

This is a unique creature of the North American continent and rarely seen elsewhere.

"I suggest you put the thunderbird in the Forbidden Forest for a while first." Newt said: "The thunder in nature is very helpful for the growth of the thunderbird."

"Isn't it too dangerous?" Wayne frowned: "There are dangerous animals such as Acromantula and Tebo Warthog in the Forbidden Forest."

"You underestimate the Thunderbirds."

Newt shook his head: "They won't have any natural enemies in the Forbidden Forest. "I know it there."

"That's okay."

As the two of them walked, Wayne's expression changed, as if he was really struggling with something.

The sensitive Newt saw it, but didn't ask, waiting for Wayne to decide whether to tell him.

At the corner of the street, Wayne suddenly stopped and let out a long breath.

"Senior, I need your help with something."

Newt was not surprised at all: "What do you need me to do?".
