Chapter 178 Some People Are Destined To Stand At The Top.

After leaving Knockturn Alley, Wayne did not go home, but took the train directly to Dorset.

He had made an appointment with Newt and Tina long before the holiday.

Spend Christmas with them this year.

This made Madame Perenal, who had been looking forward to his passing in Paris, very dissatisfied. When he had a video chat with Nico last night, he spent a lot of money to appease the old lady0

And promised to appear at the manor in Paris on the third day after New Year's Day.

Looking out the window at the scenery passing by quickly, Wayne sighed.

The shortcoming of Apparition is here, it must be deeply impressed by a place before it can be used. He has never been to Dorset County at all, let alone deeply impressed.

I can only go there by car.

When we arrived at the gate of the manor, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Putting his hand on the closed door, a unique mark appeared as the door opened automatically.

As if Wayne had returned to his own home, he walked in without waiting for the owner's response. If he pretended to be polite at this time, Newt and Tina would be angry with him.

The manor covers a large area, at least thirty acres, most of which is in the backyard. After passing a garden in the front yard, you arrive at the entrance of the villa.

Newt stood there, watching Wayne admiring the scenery as he came, and asked with a smile:

"how do you feel?"

Wayne nodded appreciatively: "It's much more beautiful than my home in New York, but the place over there is too small."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Newt sighed and walked in with Wayne: "The housing prices in New York are too expensive. We've always wanted to move to a place with a better environment. But the rate at which we make money can't keep up with the rate at which housing prices are rising. .”

"That's not easy." Wayne smiled: "My house in New York is quite nice. I can just let Grandma Tina choose one later."

Newt immediately opened his mouth to refuse, but was interrupted by the boy's continuous casting of spells.

"This is not for you, it is for Grandma Tina. She is not a sociopath like you. She usually has so many friends coming and going, so ten spacious houses are necessary.

"You are the only one who can talk." A voice full of laughter came over. Wayne and Newt had entered the living room. Tina was sitting on the main seat, looking at Wayne with a smile. There was also a senior standing next to her. Freckled brown-haired boy.

"You can't refuse. It would be very embarrassing if the gift cannot be delivered."

Wayne joked, leaving Newt aside, and ran to Tina to sit down, looking curiously at the boy who lowered his head after he entered the room.

"Who is this?"

"Come on, Rolf, call someone." Tina pulled the freckled boy in front of Wayne.

"This is my and Newt's grandson, Rolf Scamander. He will also go to Hogwarts next year."

"It's just a good time for you to get to know each other in advance."

Wayne suddenly realized and stretched out his hand: "Hello, I am Wayne Lawrence."

Rolf still lowered his head and slowly stretched out his hand: "Hello, I am Rolf Scamander. Grandpa and grandma often mention you.

Wayne shook hands with him, and the boy's nervous palms became sweaty.

Wayne couldn't help but look at Newt.

"What are you looking at me doing?" Newt was confused.

"Were you also so socially afraid back then?"

"Of course not." Newt shook his head, and just when Wayne looked disbelieving, he added:

"I feel the same way now."

"I have the nerve to say it." Tina looked at her husband angrily: "I told you not to take care of the child, look at Rolf..."

"Hey, don't worry." Wayne quickly interrupted Tina. It was definitely inappropriate to say this directly in front of children.

"Rolf's personality is probably due to the fact that he had fewer friends since he was a child. When he goes to school and is surrounded by peers, he should get better."

Tina's face softened slightly: "I hope so, Wayne, I need to trouble you more to take care of him in school to prevent Rove from encountering Newt's past.

Don't look at Newt's extremely high status now, even the iconic figure of Hufflepuff.

But when he was in school, he was a freak in the eyes of others. Not to mention being bullied, he was at least isolated.

Tina naturally didn't want her grandson to suffer such a predicament.

So when Rolf's parents wanted to take him away to continue traveling around the world, Tina forced him to stay, specifically letting him get to know Wayne in advance.

Wayne agreed to such a small request without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I'm quite popular in school, and everyone will give me face." Wayne said very proudly: "After all, I'm a normal Hufflepuff, and I'm the best at making friends."

Newt:

I always feel like you are tapping me.

Wayne looked at Rolf who lowered his head again: "Don't be nervous, Hufflepuff's classmates are very friendly. If there is anyone who is unfriendly, just tell me and I will talk to them."

"Sooner or later you can become very lively.

"Well..." Tina couldn't stand listening anymore: "Wayne, my Rolf's talent is average. It's not good to be too lively. Just be normal.

Obviously, this person also knows that Wayne's understanding of liveliness is different from that of normal people.

The reason why Wayne can live so well.

Strength and talent are both indispensable for people's life.

He has enemies, but more friends.

The preference of professors and the support of a group of little badgers gave him the confidence to run rampant in the school. It was almost impossible for Luo Fe to achieve this point.

"Yes." Newt also said quickly: "I asked you to take care of Rolf, not to protect him, but you must not lead him to evil. 17

He doesn't want his small club to become a little overlord.

"What?" Wayne curled his lips, feeling aggrieved. How could he be a bad person by following him?

How could he be described as one of those Slytherin bullies.

Luofu secretly looked at Wayne. In fact, he was also very curious about this senior whom he often heard about.

Regardless of whether it is grandparents, they always praise Wayne every time they mention him, but the way they praise him is completely different.

After meeting today, he found that this senior seemed to be different from the Hufflepuff he imagined. 【

After recognizing a new little brother, Wayne was taken to the back garden by Newt, where he also saw the famous three cats.

Newt and Tina announced that they were spending their remaining years in Dorset, leaving only three cats with them.

In fact, this is to tell everyone that Newt no longer has so many messy magical animals, so you can rest assured.

After all, to a certain extent, the damage he caused to some cities at that time was no less than that of Grindelwald...

In order to avoid more trouble, you must show your harmlessness.

Of course, this is just for the general public to see.

If anyone really believes that Newt has become a powerless old man, then what awaits him...will be one surprise after another.

Tina went to prepare today's Christmas dinner, and Luo Tian went to take care of some Bowtruckles who had caught a cold.

With Wayne and Newt alone in the garden, it was time to talk about something more exciting.

"Didn't you bring the box over?" Newt asked softly, looking at the boy with empty hands.

"Leave it with a senior. I will get it back after the magic potion exchange."

Wayne threw the fish food in his hand into the pond. There was a constant temperature spell in the manor, and the weather here was still like spring all year round. In the pond, two double-tailed fish would come out of the water from time to time.

Newt frowned. He was so sensitive that he sensed something was wrong.

But Wayne still looked calm and didn't ask any more questions.

"By the way." Wayne suddenly said: "Nagini recovered not long ago."

"That's great." Newt smiled, "Has the curse completely disappeared?"

"Yes, she is in very good condition now. Her lifespan stopped losing when she became a beast, and she is still a beautiful woman.

"It can be considered a blessing in disguise." Newt said softly: "Is she also in Hogwarts now?"

"Well, in the box, I'm learning some commonly used spells from Gardevoir."

Since her birth, Nagini has not received any orthodox magic training, and has been living a life of fugitives, avoiding the wizards who tried to prove her identity as a blood-cursed orc.

Now that the blood curse has been eliminated, transforming into a poisonous snake has become her instinct. It can be said that she is a natural Animagus.

After the transformation, Nagini's combat effectiveness is not weak.

As long as it's a close combat, it's not a problem to have one Snape per day.

But it is also very important to learn some conventional methods. Wayne knows that Nagini is still very repulsive to his python form.

If you can't use it, don't use it.

"The principal still doesn't know about Nagini's existence..." Wayne touched his palm and said with a half-smile: "Senior, I will give you this huge credit."

Newt's eyes slowly moved from the pond to the boy beside him, with disbelief and shock.

Is this a credit...?

Doesn’t this just make me take the blame?

"Wayne." Newt's voice was complex: "I'm almost a hundred years old..."

"You are getting better and better." Wayne chuckled: "This is nothing illegal. The principal won't ask too many questions when he sees his old friend. Don't worry.

It's easy to say, why don't you just go up to it.

Newt muttered in his heart, but still took the pot silently. Except for some problems with Wayne's source of information, there really wouldn't be any trouble.

unless...

He stared at the young man and couldn't help but remind him:

"Wayne, Nagini is already having a hard time. Don't bully her too much."

"What are you thinking?" Wayne looked at him in surprise: "Is this how you doubt a Hufflepuff?"

Newt choked.

"You are...a relatively new type of Hufflepuff, so you can't be generalized."

Newt could feel that Wayne had already embarked on the path that Grindelwald and Dumbledore had gone before, but the methods were different from the two.

The structure of the magic world will inevitably change because of him, and there will inevitably be turmoil.

0Please give me flowers.

Conflicts between emerging interest groups and vested interests are inevitable. When Wayne graduates and his friends graduate, these conflicts will gradually emerge.

This has nothing to do with justice, only stance.

Some people are born to be at the top.

Grindelwald is like this, Dumbledore is like this, and future Wayne is like this.

When the Hufflepuffs unite, how powerful can they be?

No one knows about this problem, and few people care about it, but it won’t be long before the world will see it.

"Okay." While Newt was deep in thought, Wayne patted him on the shoulder: "Senior, you said it yourself. You are an old man who is nearly a hundred years old, so don't worry so much."

Newt's old face darkened.

Now I think I'm too old.

"You brat, don't expect me to find someone to go to Azkaban to rescue you when the time comes."

"Azkaban?" Wayne sneered unintelligibly.

He stretched out his hands and the water in the pond

Suddenly it became restless and gathered into a huge water ball, floating in mid-air, almost covering the entire manor below.

Newt could even see the horse-shaped water monster running around restlessly inside.

His lips were dry.

Although it is said to be a pond, due to the traceless stretching spell, the actual size and volume are actually close to half of the Black Lake.

You can achieve this effect by waving your hands and casting spells without a wand.

Who else in the entire wizarding world can do this except Dumbledore?

Newt believes that in terms of strength, Dumbledore is still stronger than Wayne now.

But being able to compare with Dumbledore is a very rare thing in itself.

And Wayne...is only in his second year this year.

"It's difficult for Azkaban to trap me." Wayne's expression was very calm, and his eyes were shining: Nurmengard had some hope.

Newt slowly lowered his head and whispered: "If you really go to Nurmengard, remember to say hello to Grindelwald for me."

Wayne:

Are you sure you are saying hello and not making a face-on comment?

After putting the poor little animal back in the pond, Newt and Wayne also came to the kitchen to see if there was anything they could do to help Tina.

As a result, everyone was coaxed out. According to Tina, the kitchen is her battlefield now, and she is not weak enough to need help from others.

"Tina is just too strong." Newt smiled helplessly: "I wanted to bring back a house elf to do housework, but she ignored me for a whole week."

"Can the strong woman who captured Grindelwald not be strong?" Wayne waved his hand: "Let's just wait and eat.

"Senior, have you been to Sparton?"

"Been there twice." Newt nodded slightly: "It's as charming as Hogwarts, but the style is completely different."

"That's not what I'm asking." Wayne winked: "Tell me about the specialties there."

Newt's eyelids twitched.

"You are here to compete, not to purchase goods. Can you be honest?"

Wayne retorted plausibly: “I just want to give the world’s lovely creatures a home, what’s wrong with that.

Unable to withstand his insistence, Newt revealed a magical animal that echoed Wayne's needs.

"That's a specialty of the Pyrenees Mountains, fairy elf."

"According to legend, it is the product of the union of a fairy and a Veela. It is about the same size as a fairy, but due to the blood of the Veela, it looks more charming and beautiful, and its wings can also

glow. "

"They sleep on the petals and feed on the morning dew, which makes the flowers and plants more fragrant."

Wayne perked up: "Where can I find it?"

"There are them in the canyon behind Beauxbatons School, but the number is relatively rare." Newt couldn't help but remind: "If you really find it, don't take too much away, or you will be found."

Present.

"Don't worry." Wayne nodded obediently: "I won't take everything away."

Newt opened his mouth.

It finally turned into a helpless sigh.

Um?

Newt looked at a mirror, which showed the scene outside the manor. Several owls carrying a large box were hovering outside the door and could not find the entrance.

"Did Tina buy something?" Newt said in surprise.

"Oh, it could be my delivery." Wayne stood up and walked towards the door, and Newt followed.

"What did you buy?"

"It's a new pet. Please help me take care of it for a while until I get the box back.

five minutes later.

Looking at the black and white dumplings rolling all over the yard, Newt said speechlessly:

"Is this the pet you're talking about?"

"Isn't it cute?" Wayne said with a smile on his face, "It took a lot of effort to make it."

"Cute is cute." Newt also nodded.

No one can resist the temptation of a national treasure, but...

"Those flowers were carefully cultivated by Tina. Please explain to her later. I can't save you."
