Chapter 123 The Ordinary Family Scamander
dragon tamer,
As a high-risk occupation, every practitioner must obtain a certificate in advance.
Although it is not as strict as the process of training Aurors, the main target of the work is fire dragons. Without sufficient strength, it is completely impossible to become a dragon trainer.
The dragon trainer exam is divided into two aspects: written exam and actual combat.
The content of the written test will involve the magical creatures in the reserve, which is the most basic content. After all, if you want to work here, you must at least know the local creatures well.
In addition, there are various first aid knowledge, emergency response measures, and certain geographical knowledge.
These contents are not too difficult for local wizards, but for foreign wizards, they must learn from scratch.
Hogwarts will provide career counseling to students in the second semester of fifth grade, and then decide on the subjects to continue studying after sixth and seventh grades.
It was during those two years that Charlie followed Professor Kettleburn and gradually learned about the magical creatures in the Romanian Sanctuary.
Rove didn't have this kind of trouble, because he had stayed in Romania with Newt for a long time one after another, and he knew it well.
In addition to the written test, the most difficult thing is the actual combat exercise.
This part of the content is more flexible, there are no fixed exam questions, and it is different every year, just like Charlie last year, they need to go to the valley of miasma to save a fire dragon.
But on the whole, it is nothing more than the use of broomsticks and various magic items, and most importantly... the skills to deal with fire dragons.
Rove's strength lies in his rich theoretical knowledge, and his weakness lies in actual combat... After all, he is only eleven years old and has only received a year of systematic study in a magic school, which is far behind those adult wizards who have graduated for many years.
The fancy magic rewarded by the system is effective for most magical creatures, but not necessarily for fire dragons.
Just like Rove's favorite plant bundle play, it doesn't have much effect on dragons.
If you want to bind a fire dragon by spawning vines, you need a huge amount of magic power. To be able to do this... Rove has to change his name to Qianju Zhujian instead of Scamander.
The screech of the Witchbird may have some small effects, and the "petrified gaze" of the basilisk should have a big effect.
But Rove was going to obtain a dragon trainer certificate, and using magic to excessively harm the fire dragon did not meet the requirements.
He decided to learn some regular magic from Lupine first!
As for why he didn't learn from Newt, the old man not only didn't have a Hogwarts diploma, he also didn't pass the dragon tamer certificate at all. He had caught dragons countless times, but they were all illegally captured.
In Newt's words: he's only successfully obtained one certificate in his life, and that's the...marriage certificate with Tina.
It was the first time Lupine came to Rove's house. After entering the door, he found that it was a long living room. The walls of the room were made of neat stone blocks, and there were many black tapestries and golden curtains hanging on it. .
The floor was carpeted, and on the other side of the room was a shelf, on which stood wide earthenware pots in which were planted green rushes, and other plants.
He looked around, seemingly surprised.
"What's wrong?" Rob asked.
"It's nothing... I thought it would be the same as the zoo."
Lupine found the living room surprisingly unremarkable, not what he had imagined... animals everywhere.
"My grandpa was like this when he was young. Later, my grandma helped him get rid of this bad habit and separated the family and work environment." Rove laughed.
"Where's Mr. Scamander?" Lupine sat down on the chair and put a large box at his feet. The box shook violently and hit the ground with a bang.
"My grandfather went to the mine, and Mr. Giggs said that the dwarf unearthed a fossil of a dragon." Rove explained, looking at the box curiously.
"What's this?"
"Since it's training how to deal with fire dragons, it's better to face a fire dragon." Lupine explained:
"But I'm sure I can't get a real fire dragon. After much deliberation, I found a Boggart that can turn it into a fire dragon..."
"Don't be so troublesome." Rove shook his head and said with a smile, "I've already prepared the teaching tools."
Lupine didn't seem to understand Rove's meaning, he asked in confusion, "Teaching tools?"
"A fire dragon, you can teach directly with a fire dragon." Rove said calmly.
The man looked at Rove, and he was a little surprised: "Where did you get the fire dragon? Did your grandfather borrow it from the administrator, Mr. Giggs?"
"No, it's not... I raised it myself." Rove blinked.
"..."
For a moment, Lupine was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word.
The fire dragon I raised... That's a fire dragon. When we talk, can we have a little emotion, don't speak so lightly, as if we are talking about cats and dogs? !
Lupine instantly felt ashamed of his ignorance just now, he still thought that the Scamander family was ordinary...
Look, there are even fire dragons!
Is this an ordinary family? !
Seeing that Lupine seemed to have misunderstood, Rove hurriedly explained:
"Our family is a good person who absolutely abides by the law and will never break the law, let alone raise a fire dragon privately.
Hagrid actually got that dragon by accident, but he couldn't raise it at Hogwarts, so he had to give it to me and let me take it back to the Romanian sanctuary. "
"Don't worry, I understand, and I won't talk nonsense." Lupine couldn't help laughing, "But it does sound like something Hagrid would do."
"Back then, when I was still studying at Hogwarts, Hagrid always wanted to raise a dragon. At that time, Hogsmeade didn't sell our high-strength spirits, not even the Pig's Head Pub."
"Sirius..." Lupine suddenly stopped, he was silent for a moment, and continued:
"Someone used a dyed ostrich egg to trick Hagrid into being a dragon egg, and got a lot of spirits from him..."
"A few of my friends and I got drunk, went crazy in the Forbidden Forest, ran around with bare buttocks..."
Lupine whispered about the past, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he remembered some people and certain things in the past.
But it didn't take long for the smile on the man's vicissitudes face to disappear, and it soon turned into an unconcealable loneliness.
Lupine restrained his emotions and asked, "Okay, since there are fire dragons, we don't need Boggarts. Where should we train?"
"Let's go to the basement."
Rove stood up and led Lupine down the stairs towards the basement.
Hearing that it was a basement, Lupine thought it was not a big space, but when he stepped through a door and entered a vast forest with rolling trees, he still couldn't help opening his mouth wide and rubbing his eyes.
Where is this basement? It's more like a super-large zoo!
