Chapter 26 Won't This House Collapse?
dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

David put down the quill, looked at the door, and said, "The door is not locked."

Soon the door opened, and John leaned in half his body. His smooth black hair was parted in the middle, and he was wearing a brown coat on both sides, and an apron was tied under his body.

Today is the tenth day that John has stayed in this house. After the wolfsbane potion arrived, he moved out of the magic box and lived in a room on the second floor.

In order to thank the Newt family for their kindness in taking them in, John contracted out all the housework at home, and now he is also preparing the meals, allowing Tina to live a leisurely life of petting cats and reading books all day long.

"David, are you ready? It's time to eat." John said.

"Okay, I'll be right over."

John nodded, closed the door and left.

David got up and gathered the manuscripts on the table and put them aside. These are his research on several magical animals in the past few days, including some animals that are only found in the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest.

After all, I have already decided to study there, so I must make more preparations, otherwise how will I go to the Forbidden Forest at night?

And on the second day after they returned from Athens, they received the Daily Prophet from the owl, which had a special page introducing the attack in Athens.

Undoubtedly, Newt and Tina are the protagonists, and someone took a photo of them leaving in a hurry, and it took up a third of the page.

The above article severely condemned Newt and Tina for what they did in Athens, and demanded compensation for the economic losses caused by Chimeras.

As for David?

He's a little wizard without a wand, what can he do?

Later, Newt wrote to the Greek Ministry of Magic to explain that it was the people from the R organization who led the Chimera over, not them.

It's a pity that the Greek Ministry of Magic didn't believe it. They wrote back saying that Newt was making excuses, and urged him to pay the fine as soon as possible.

David felt that they didn't believe Newt because they wanted a fine, otherwise, as Newt said, Organization R wouldn't pay them compensation.

Newt was also very helpless about this, those guys were always like this, so they stayed at home for a while, avoiding the limelight.

Tina also put the Daily Prophet in a frame and hung it on the wall of the lobby to warn Newt.

Oh, and next to that frame, hung a row of identical frames filled with newspapers and letters denouncing Newt.

Obviously Tina's method is useless, Newt doesn't care about these, when Tina is not at home, he will even point to those photo frames to introduce his "brilliant deeds" to David.

After David put away his things, he walked out of the room. Tina and Newt were already sitting at the dining table.

John was coming out of the kitchen with a plate of pies. He was different from the rest of the family. Newt and Tina could use magic spells because they were old and David was too lazy. The place will never do it.

John, on the other hand, would never use a wand if he could use his hands, a bit like a Muggle.

Some time ago, David asked him why he didn't use a wand. John smiled and said that he couldn't stay in the wizarding world for a while. He once lived in the Muggle world for a while, so he gradually got used to it. Don't use a wand, so as not to be discovered.

"How is your research on your notes?" Newt asked after David walked to the table and sat down.

"It's not bad, but there are a few places where you wrote too simply, and you just lost a sentence. I don't understand it a little bit. Please tell me later." David said while picking up a piece of pie stuff it in your mouth.

Well, the taste is very good. I don't know where John learned it. Tina's cooking skills are not bad, at least there are many more dishes.

David chewed the pie in his mouth with enjoyment.

"You can't understand what I wrote so simple?" Newt said with disgust, then he ignored David and turned to look at John, "Have you taken Wolfsbane Potion?"

John put down his fork and nodded solemnly. He drank it a few days ago.

"Is it the night of the full moon?" David asked.

"Well, the Daily Prophet says there's a good chance of a full moon tonight," Newt said.

In the Daily Prophet, there is a small corner dedicated to reporting the waxing and waning of the moon at night.

This is what the Ministry of Magic has asked them to add in recent years, because the Ministry of Magic wants werewolves to live in peace with ordinary wizards.

But when the werewolf was on the full moon, if he didn't take the medicine in advance, it would cause harm to ordinary wizards.

So the Ministry of Magic asked the Daily Prophet to add this article to remind werewolves to take medicine, reduce damage to ordinary wizards, and improve the living environment of werewolves.

It's a pity that this measure is as useless as Tina's picture frame hanging in the hall.

Ordinary wizards still discriminate against and are afraid of werewolves, and they are unwilling to live with them, because they cannot be sure whether these werewolves have taken wolf's poison.

In the afternoon, Newt took David and John out, walked through the forest for a while, and came to a clearing where the taller trees around were cut down by Newt.

David saw a simple wooden house standing in the middle of the open space. It didn't look very solid. He felt that it would fall down immediately when a breeze blew, and the breeze couldn't help shouting, are you touching porcelain!

"Grandpa, are you sure this room can withstand John's impact?" David asked.

Originally, Newt wanted John to stay at home during the full moon, or stay in the magic box.

It's just that John was afraid of accidentally hurting Newt and the others, and he didn't want to, so Newt built him this house here, and asked him to stay here until the transformation was over.

But David expressed serious doubts about the quality of the house. He was afraid that the house would collapse as soon as John completed his transformation. Then where would John sleep? Would he sleep in the wild?
Newt laughed awkwardly. He had worked very hard to build this hut during this period, but unfortunately building a house is not like casting magic, which can be done with a wave of a wand. He tried his best and could only make it like this.

He took a breath, and said in a confident tone as much as possible: "Don't worry, this house is solid, and I even asked Dumbledore to cast a lot of spells." Then he patted John on the shoulder: "At night you It's okay to hit it hard enough, and it will never collapse."

John agreed, but he still couldn't believe it in his heart. After all, the house looked like a building block. He was already wondering if he should tie himself up with a rope at night, otherwise the house would collapse and he would have to sleep in the open forest.

After living in the warm hut for so many days, he didn't want to be baptized by the cold wind at night.

"Why don't I take you in for a visit, in fact, I think it's pretty good." After Newt finished speaking, he walked towards the wooden house first. He gently touched the wooden door, and there was a creaking sound, and the wooden door made a miserable sound and shook. opened.

The corner of David's mouth twitched, Grandpa, are you sure this can really work?

At this time, John was already looking for the rope all over the floor.

There is not much space in the wooden house, there is only a bed with a comfortable quilt on it, and nothing else.

After all, John only stays here when the moon is full, and he is not a permanent resident. There is no need to prepare so many things, as long as he can rest.

And when he transformed, even if he drank the potion, under the stimulation of intense pain, he couldn't control himself, and other things in the room would be torn up by him.
