v2 Chapter 73： Newt Scamander
What is it like to fly high?
As a man who never even drove the J-20 in his previous life, William finally felt the thrill of flying.
He stood on the thunderbird and stepped on the sea. The thunder light crossed the sea and chopped the waves.
As the thunderbird flew higher and higher, a waterspout formed under it, and for a while, the monstrous water column swayed upwards, with a momentum like a rainbow.
William opened his arms and looked up, the full moon hung high, the sea of clouds surging, and the horizon was endless...
This is probably the most beautiful scene, right?
Shuai is really handsome, but within five seconds of his high spirits, William felt icy cold, his legs trembled, and he was as cold as a silly roe deer.
William was learning Bobo tea, and a cat came with his hands tucked into the thick feathers of the Thunderbird's neck, which made his body feel much warmer.
Seeing that Hermione's nose was red from the cold, William squeezed at her, tapped a few more times with his wand, and turned the quill in his pocket into several thick blankets.
He gave each one one, and everyone was wrapped in blankets and finally not cold.
If it wasn't for the fear of being thrown by the Thunderbird and falling to his death, William really wanted to build a fire here and roast his hands, and by the way have a small barbecue at a high altitude.
Isn't it beautiful... Ollie?
"Mr. Scamander, why are you here?" William asked.
The old man's name was Newt Scamander, a well-known magical zoologist.
William is no stranger, as he is the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which is the textbook for Hogwarts.
Newt was a student at Hufflepuff, but was expelled from the school.
As we all know, students who don't graduate normally are all big shots. Who is the serious person who graduates normally?
So Newt is definitely not an ordinary wizard. He once captured the original Dark Lord Grindelwald, although he was later escaped by the other party.
From William's point of view, Newt's magnificent experience, a proper protagonist template, if you make it into a movie, at least five films can be made!
But the current Newt, who was in his nineties, was a grey-haired old man who looked similar to Dumbledore.
Hearing William's question, Newt's eyes wandered, looking at the Thunderbird, and said gently:
"Nicco said there was something wrong with your toad. He was busy with experiments and couldn't get away, so he asked me to ride Frank to pick you up."
Hermione curled up in the thick blanket, her head resting tightly on William's shoulder, and curiously asked, "Who is Frank?"
Newt gently touched the brown feathers under his body, and glanced at Hermione through his thick bangs, saying:
"It's this ptarmigan. I named it Frank."
The ptarmigan is a large bird that lives in North America, most commonly found in Arizona in the southwestern United States, and is closely related to the phoenix.
Thunderbirds can create storms while flying and are also highly sensitive to danger, making them extremely dangerous creatures.
Newt had been hit by lightning attracted by thunderbirds before.
But the Thunderbirds sucked most of the current away, Newt didn't take much damage, he fell, just because the old cold leg attacked.
Newt said, "Frank was rescued from smugglers when I was in Egypt for more than 60 years, and then I sent him back to the United States."
Although Newt said it was easy, the return process was definitely not easy.
As far as William knew, at that time, the Magical Congress of the United States enacted a death curse policy on all magical animals.
Newt sent a Thunderbird back to the United States, only to choose to smuggle it.
"Then why did Frank appear here?" Hermione wondered.
"Frank flew over by himself last year, and it's grown enough to fly across the Atlantic on its own," Newt explained.
"This time Nicole's birthday, I brought it with me. When the birthday is over, I will take it and send a child to Romania.
That kid, like Frank, was a wizard smuggled animal. "
William raised his eyebrows, and Newt's words revealed a lot of information.
Transporting magical creatures across borders is a hassle, and Newt doesn't seem to be going to go through official channels, but instead rides the Thunderbird directly.
After all, thunderbirds can even cross the Atlantic Ocean, and it is not too difficult to fly from a small English Channel to Romania.
Domineering!
"By the way, what's wrong with your toad?" Newt wondered.
"There has never been a problem with the tools made by Niko. I seem to see traces of magic attacks on them?"
William nodded and quickly recounted the incident they encountered in Black Lake.
Newt combed the ptarmigan's feathers and said solemnly, "Son, I think you and your friend made a mistake."
"Wrong?" William was stunned.
"You shouldn't catch merman, even if there is no intention to hurt them, just make a wand for merman hair."
Newt said seriously, "Mermaids are not animals..."
"Then what are they?" Hermione asked suspiciously.
"People, the same people as us." Newt wrapped the blanket, "I think you two, haven't taken the Fantastic Beasts class yet?"
William nodded and said, "That's an elective course that only started in the third year. I'm in the second year now, and Hermione is in the first year."
William knew a lot of magical creatures, but he just watched them out of interest and didn't study them systematically.
"No wonder." Newt suddenly seemed to be an old professor.
"You may wonder why merman is a human rather than an animal.
As for the definition of man, there has been a debate in the wizarding world for centuries. "
"In the beginning, Burdock Maldon, the fourteenth-century president of the Wizarding Council, stipulated that any member of the wizarding world who walked on two legs was granted the status of a 'person'.
Later, in a friendly manner, he called all the 'people' to attend the meeting.
But the conference hall was crowded with two-legged animals brought by goblins, such as ball-escapers, auguries, and elves. "
"So just having two legs does not guarantee a magical creature. UU reading can or will be interested in the affairs of the wizard government."
Newt continued: "Mrs. Alfreda Cragg, Malden's successor, believes that all creatures that speak human languages are humans.
But this definition is also narrow. "
"It wasn't until 1811 that people found a definition that most members of the wizarding world found acceptable.
The newly appointed Minister of Justice, Grogan Stump, issued an order:
"Man" is any creature that has enough intelligence to understand and take part in the process of making these laws. "
"So trolls are not humans, and both mermaids and centaurs are classified as humans."
Of course, because of the discord between centaurs and banshees and vampires, they refuse to share the identity of 'human' with these creatures, but it does not prevent us from defining them as 'human'. "
William nodded, he heard Cedric mention this.
His father was from the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures, and there was still a centaurus liaison office there, although no centaurs used it.
Newt looked at William and Hermione.
This was the first time he looked at the two of them, and at other times, he swept them away, or dodged nervously.
Newt said very seriously:
"Son, it's not that the mermaids are eccentric when they attack you.
There are no weird creatures in the world, only narrow people. "
