Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 40: Magizoologist who speaks dragon language



Newt Scamander, the most famous magizoologist in the world of Harry Potter.

Dudley didn't expect to meet such a big shot here. Although Newt did not officially appear in the original novel, he is the protagonist of the spin-off movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" series, and he is the protagonist of Dumbledore, Grindelwald and other characters. There are inextricably linked.

"Wait, what is this?" Hearing the sound outside the store, the convenience store clerk looked over and was frightened by Norberta and screamed loudly. "Help, there's a monster!"

"All is forgotten!" The old man who called himself Newt Scamander waved his magic wand, and the convenience store clerk's eyes immediately became confused. "Let's get out of here first, otherwise it will be a bit troublesome for more Muggles."

With his wand taken away, Dudley had no choice but to follow Newt obediently.Although Newt has turned white and looks very old, his steps are light and he still looks very strong.

Newt led Dudley and Norbert to an old Ford and motioned for them to get in.

"Although it's the middle of the night, it's still easy to cause commotion with a baby dragon strutting around town. This is my experience. Sit down first, and we'll talk about it later."

At first, Dudley was worried about how Norberta's size would fit into the car, but as soon as he entered the back seat of the car, he knew that his worries were unnecessary.The space inside the car is nearly 10 times as big as it looks from the outside, which is more than enough for Norbert to flap his wings inside.

"Don't worry, I've driven people much bigger than her." Newt smiled kindly, "However, I hope you can keep this matter secret. In principle, using the Invisible Stretch Charm without permission is prohibited by the Ministry of Magic. It’s forbidden, but fortunately I have a friend I can talk to in the relevant departments, and after I helped him get a modified Ford car of the same specifications, he turned a blind eye to me."

As the engine roared to life, the car began to move slowly, but Dudley noticed that Newt didn't put his hands on the steering wheel, but let the car drive on its own.

"Mr. Scamander, my wand..." It seemed that Newt was not hostile, so Dudley decided to talk first.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. But remember, underage wizards have traces on their bodies. I don't think you want to be found by employees of the Ministry of Magic when you are carrying a baby dragon." Newt handed the elder wand back to Dudley, who felt much more at ease when he took the wand back in his hand.

"So can you tell me a little bit about the situation? It's not a common thing for a young wizard to bring a young Norwegian Ridgeback." Newt asked kindly.

So Dudley simply said that he accidentally hatched a dragon egg at Hogwarts, but it was swallowed by the dragon that was chasing the child and was taken to an unknown cave. Finally, it was spit out by the dragon. The story of escaping on a young dragon.

Of course, since he concealed Voldemort's and his own absorption of dragon souls, the whole story seemed to be full of errors.But Newt didn't seem to intend to get to the bottom of it, and just nodded slightly as he listened to Dudley's story.

"So this lovely young lady named Norberta regards you as her mother, Mr. Dursley, and is fighting against her real parents?" Newt looked at Norberta with interest, who looked at her closely. He clung to Dudley and looked at Newt warily.

"Mr. Scamander, where are we going now?" Dudley wanted to change the subject. After all, he had too many things to explain.And he was also eager to return to Hogwarts. A student was eaten by a dragon, and he didn't know how much trouble there would be in the school.

"Don't worry, kid, I will send an owl to notify Professor Dumbledore later." Newt said slowly, seemingly sensing Dudley's worry. "And Hogwarts has protective magic set up, so it's not a place you can just enter in the middle of the night."

"It's very late today. I believe you and Norbert are very tired. I have a small house nearby, which was one of the bases I used when traveling when I was young. You can rest first tonight and I will take you there tomorrow. Go back to Hogwarts."

Soon, Dudley and Norbert were driven to a small house located in the suburbs. There were no people around and it seemed extremely quiet.

"Let Norberta stay in the yard. I have set a simple spell to expel Muggles here. As long as Norberta doesn't run too far, Muggles won't find her."

As Newt said, Dudley was indeed tired and hungry due to a whole night of fighting. Although his physical injuries had been repaired, his mental exhaustion still had not been relieved.

Newt's hospitality was very attentive, and Dudley's stomach, which had been hungry all night, was finally full.Newt even prepared a clean change of clothes for him, so Dudley took a bath before going to bed.

"These are the spare clothes I kept here when I was young. I hope you don't dislike them." Newt said with a kind smile on his face, "Go to bed early, kid. We'll talk about other things tomorrow."

Dudley has now put down his guard against Newt. From the perspective of the original work, Newt is indeed an upright and kind person, and it seems that he is no exception in this world.

After thanking Newt, Dudley finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep. When he woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.

Next to Dudley's bed was a neat set of clothes and a Hogwarts school uniform robe. Although it was a bit old, it was still very clean.

After finishing dressing up, Dudley walked out of the house and happened to see Newt feeding Norberta a piece of steak. Although Norberta looked a little wary, she still couldn't resist the temptation of food and sniffed the steak with her long nose.

Dudley just wanted to go over and say hello to Newt and thank him for his hospitality last night.After all, thanks to Newt's help, otherwise I might have ended up sleeping in the wilderness last night.

But when he got close to Newt, Dudley heard that Newt seemed to be feeding Norberta while saying something to her. After hearing his words, Norberta became visibly docile, and then bit into the steak and started to enjoy it.

"PruzahKiirNaak" (Good boy, eat slowly)

Dudley gasped, not believing his ears.Because what Newt just said was in a language he had never learned but was familiar with - dragon language.And he had always thought that he was the only human being in the world who could use this language.

Seeing the shocked expression on Dudley's face, a sly smile appeared on Newt's old face: "It seems from your reaction...Mr. Dursley, you can understand the language I just said, right?" .”

Newt looked as if his plan had succeeded. He dusted himself off and stood up. He looked at Dudley closely with his wise eyes and smiled meaningfully:

"Mr. Dursley, if I guess correctly, you are a dragonborn, right?"
