The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 130: Newt Scamander

"Ok?"

The old man's words made Link's expression a little puzzled. He looked hard at the old man, trying to identify the old man's identity from his looks and clothes, but this was just useless.

Because no matter how you look at it, this is just an ordinary old man.

If you insist that there is something special about him.

Then it must be the medal hanging on his chest. It was a Merlin Medal of the same rank as Fudge.

Link's expression also fell into the eyes of Dumbledore and the old man. The two smiled at each other before Dumbledore introduced with a smile:

"Link, this gentleman is Newt Scamander, think about it, I think you must know him."

As soon as Dumbledore said this, Link's eyes lit up.

He naturally knew Newt Scamander.

Their textbook "Where are Fantastic Beasts" for the protection of magical creatures this year was written by Newt Scamander. Because Link was very interested in magical animals, he also inquired about Newt Scamander. .

Then, he was shocked.

This Newt Scamander is not only the author of the sacred book "Where are the Fantastic Creatures", but also a great man.

During his life, he made a very outstanding contribution to the entire research of magical animals. In 1947, he also established the Werewolf Registry with one hand, and won some basic rights and interests for the werewolves.

Although these rights are trivial, and most of the time, they are actively ignored by Ministry of Magic officials.

But there is no doubt that this still makes the lives of the werewolves a radical change.

Just like Lupin, who Link met in the first grade, the reason why he was able to come out to work is entirely due to Newt Scamander.

And in 1965 he also prompted the Ministry of Magic to pass the "Prohibition of Feeding for Experimental Purposes" order, which effectively stopped the prevalence of creating new untamed animals in Britain.

With the above two achievements, he directly won the highest honor in the magic world-the Merlin First Class Medal.

"You are Mr. Newt Scamander?"

Link said with excitement that he actually liked Newt more than Dumbledore.

"Yes, kid, you don't need to be so formal, just call me Newt."

Newt said with a smile, seeing such a young Hufflepuff get the Merlin Medal today. He is really happy as a Hufflepuff.

"Then have you really subdued the first generation of Dark Lord Grindelwald?"

Link asked eagerly next.

This is a question that has lingered in his mind for a long time, and it is also a very controversial issue in the magical world.

Although many celebrities have publicly stated that Newt Scamander has done such a shocking thing, many people still think that this is just Newt Scamander's boasting.

Hearing this, the smile on Newt's face also froze.

He turned his head and glanced at Dumbledore. After seeing Dumbledore smiled and nodded, he scratched his nose and said:

"To some extent it is true, but if I want to say it, it should be something we all did after hard work, although Mr. Grindelwald soon escaped from the US Magic Congress afterwards."

After saying that, Link showed such an expression on his face. He always felt that Enewt Scamander's character should not be enough to do such things as a prince selling melons and boasting.

Now it seems so.

The opposite Newt didn't seem to want to continue on this topic, and soon changed the topic:

"By the way, Link, oh, are you called Link?"

"Yes, sir."

"How did you think of wearing a Hogwarts school uniform to attend the awards ceremony? From what I know about Mrs. Foley, she doesn't seem like someone who would forget to prepare a dress for you."

"Well..."

Link glanced at his school uniform, and the words in his mouth paused.

Wearing school uniforms to attend the awards ceremony was actually Mrs. Foley's idea. She felt that wearing school uniforms would make Link's student attributes more prominent, which would make other people look at Link even more admiringly.

This is indeed the case. Everyone's topics have revolved around Link's youth and student status from the moment when he was surrounded by the crowd, which made Mrs. Foley a big face.

However, when facing Newt, he obviously couldn't say that.

After thinking a little bit, Link continued to explain:

"Mother did prepare dresses for me, but... you should also know that those dresses are too troublesome and uncomfortable to wear, so..."

Link didn't go on, but Newt's face was full of smiles.

He himself is also a person who is afraid of trouble, and he hates the cumbersome and twisted quaint dresses.

"Not bad! Good boy!"

Newt patted Link's shoulder kindly. Before coming here, he had heard Dumbledore introduce Link's excellence, and now he is more in love with Link after witnessing the real person.

This is indeed an excellent child!

But at the next moment, Newt's movements suddenly stopped.

"Is this... Curly Winged Demon?"

Newt curiously pointed to the shell ball between Link's neck and said.

"Ah, yes, this is my friend, yo-yo!"

Link said with a smile, and then took the yo-yo from his neck.

Newt's eyes lit up, and it was the first time he saw someone wearing a Curly Wing Demon as a pendant.

Even if it was him, he was just putting the Curly Winged Demon in his pocket and throwing it out as a hidden weapon when he encountered an enemy.

"Can I touch it?"

Newt gestured with his arms, seemingly a little cautious.

And Link didn't refuse when he saw it, and directly put the yo-yo in the opponent's hand.

Pay attention to the public account: book friends base camp, pay attention to send cash and coins!

But maybe it was suddenly put into the hands of a stranger and was frightened. As soon as the yo-yo ball fell into Newt’s hands, it made a gesture to spread its wings, and at the same time it revealed it. To the sharp fangs that even fire dragon skulls can bite through.

This shocked Link. Although he knew very well that he was in charge of the yo-yo here and it would not hurt others, but the sudden appearance of a dangerous creature with a danger level of XXXX during the award ceremony is bound to cause panic on the scene. And follow-up troubles.

"Little boy, I'm sorry to scare you, let's go to sleep."

Newt Scamander said softly while rubbing his thumb slightly under the fangs of the yo-yo.

But under his actions, the Curly Winged Demon who was about to flutter its wings just now became quiet again.

This made Link's mouth open in surprise.

"Child, do you know? There is a piece of soft flesh on the upper part of the curly-winged devil's chest. The adult mothers of the curly-winged devil will often lick this place to soothe their children. This makes the curly-winged demon a habit. You can calm them down by rubbing this place lightly."

Newt explained to Link in a soft voice, and handed the yo-yo to Link, then blinked mischievously.

Hearing that Link nodded again and again, even Professor Kelly and Kettleborn hadn't taught this kind of trick.

At this moment, the crowd not far away suddenly burst into laughter.

Mrs. Foley also walked out accompanied by Fudge, beckoning to Link.

When Newt saw this, he leaned down and helped Link tidy up the messed up neckline when he untied the yo-yo just now. Then he said:

"Okay, kid, get ready to go up and receive the medal. Let's stop here. Of course, if I can, I would like to invite you to my house as a guest. Then we may have a good chat about magical animals. ."
