Settle at Hogwarts

Tabor pulled Severus and sat down on the sofa in a familiar manner: "Don't be nervous, of course Professor Dumbledore has brought me here before. I can skillfully use Apparition in battle, it is in this room. Learned."

Aberforth's face was gloomy. No one would be happy to find that their home was suddenly broken into.

"Albus is not here now, so please leave immediately."

Tabor smiled and shook his head: "Don't be so serious. I just want to visit my old place again."

"Revisiting the old place?"

Tabor nodded and pulled Severus towards the basement.

"Stop, you absolutely can't go in there."

Tabor turned his head and glanced at Aberforth, then walked into the library with a chuckle.

"Oh! Damn Albus, you give away the family's things to others."

Tabor stood inside the door, looking at Aberforth, who was obviously extremely irritable.

"Look, I'm qualified to come in."

"Huh, so what? This is my home now!"

Tabor sat back on the sofa: "You don't think you discovered me accidentally, do you?"

Aberforth was silent. He knew that he was not as good as his brother Albus.Now it seems that even Albus's students are inferior.

If Tabor really wanted to sneak in quietly, he wouldn't be able to detect it at all.

"State your purpose."

Tabor sorted out his thoughts: "I heard that the Pig's Head Bar has changed its staff, so I thought of coming over to take a look. Do you know where Albus enjoys his retirement life?"

After Aberforth was silent for a while, he spit out a place name: "Nurmengard."

Tabor was not surprised, but it felt a little weird for two powerful wizards to retire in a nominal prison.

"This is my nephew, Severus Prince."

Aberforth glanced at the boy with black hair and eyes indifferently and said nothing.

"Well, actually, I just want my Xifu to recognize me."

After Tubo finished speaking, he led Severus out of Dumbledore's house without waiting for Aberforth to drive him away again.

"This is Godric's Hollow, where the Dumbledore family lives. In fact, many Gryffindors have made their home here. This is where their founder was born, and wizards have lived here thousands of years ago. "

Severus listened quietly, although he didn't know why his uncle suddenly brought him here.

"Don't be too nervous. I just suddenly wanted to see my old friend, but he didn't seem to welcome us."

The corners of Severus' mouth twitched unconsciously. Anyone who saw someone breaking into his home would not have a good look on his face.

"Actually, I originally wanted to help you get a chance to look through the Dumbledore family's collection of books."

Severus looked at Tubo, wanting to look through other families' collections of books. Even if it wasn't the most precious part, it was definitely not an easy task.

"The reason why I didn't speak directly was that I suddenly remembered that the only descendant of the Dumbledore family is my brother-in-law. And both Albus and Clay are much easier to talk to than Aberforth."

Severus' expression remained unchanged, but he felt a touch of emotion in his heart.

"The Dumbledore family is very good at transfiguration because they are protected by the phoenix, and they also have some very strange family magic."

As he walked, the snow that had not been cleared under his feet made a "crunch, crunch" sound.

It wasn't until Tubo felt the cold wind blowing on his body that he took Severus back to Hogwarts.

"Uncle, in fact, I haven't even finished learning about the Prince family. You don't have to think about me so...long-term."

Tabor stared at Severus carefully, making sure that he didn't say that because he wanted to be lazy.

"Okay. If you don't understand anything, you can always ask me."

"Got it, uncle."

Looking at Severus standing next to him, Tubo felt that his little boy was finally growing up, starting to have his own ideas, and no longer needed him to worry about everything.

"Okay, go back and have a good rest. Don't be too involved in studying potions during the holidays, and pay attention to rest."

After chatting for a while, Tabor returned to his lounge.

Maybe I'm used to being a mother and a father at the same time.

Although he realized that Severus no longer needed to worry about him, he still couldn't help but want to say a few words.

Lying on the bed, Tabor used Occlumency to clear out all the emotions.

Feeling the divine power flowing quietly in his body, he knew that whether it was family or friendship, he should not get too deep.

"No wonder most of the legendary gods have no emotions! Unless they can take the people around them to live forever."

Tabor thought about this possibility, but after a long time he shook his head helplessly.

Let’s not talk about whether my half-baked magical power can keep others alive. Even if I can really save a person, how can he have no relatives or friends?

It's nothing more than making one person's pain belong to two people.

"Well, after all, birth, old age, illness and death are normal life. Therefore, this kind of pain that ordinary people cannot understand should be borne by me alone."

Tabor couldn't help but smile like the old Versailles.

When Tubo appeared outside Professor Kettleburn's treehouse the next day, he really startled the old professor.

"Principal Prince, I..."

Tabor waved his hand: "Don't worry, Kettleburn. I'm not here to deal with your little bird, just to look at it."

Kettleburn knew there was no way to escape, so he could only take Tabor into the house and stop by a huge bird's nest.

Tabor looked at an adult bird, a bunch of fluffy birds, and a few brightly colored eggs inside, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch wildly.

"Is this a little bird you're talking about?"

"Ha~ha~. Did I say that? You know, my memory has never been very good."

Tabor didn't say anything, but he was already thinking about the plan for a bird breeding farm in his mind.

Although there are no valuable magic materials on this bird, the brightly colored feathers alone can be made into quills that are very popular among wizards.

"Put them in the Forbidden Forest. I will find a habitat for them."

Kettleburn looked at the birds with some worry in his eyes: "However, there are Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest. These little guys may become the spiders' food if they go in."

Tabor recalled the map of the Forbidden Forest in his mind: "There is a forest next to the Unicorn Station, and no Acromantula would dare to go there.

You can keep them for a few days, but before the students return to school at Christmas, they must be released into the Forbidden Forest. "

Kettleburn saw Tubo's firm expression and did not refute.

Compared to sending it away directly, this method of handling it couldn't be better.

Tabor stretched out his hand and caught the adult evil bird in his hand.I picked out a few of the most beautiful feathers, and then quickly disappeared under the accusing eyes of each bird.

After returning to the principal's office, Tubo simply summoned an owl and asked it to send a few feathers to Severus.

Christmas passed quickly, during which Sirius and James went to find trouble with Severus, but they all ended in failure.

Tabor watched his nephew resolve the troubles easily and stopped interfering in the affairs between several students.

Toward the end of the vacation, Tabor received an unexpected visitor in the principal's office.

"Principal Prince, I didn't expect you to take over Dumbledore's position. Um, I mean, congratulations on becoming the new principal."

Tabor smiled. Even though Newt was the father of an 11-year-old, he still had a mild social disability.

"Don't be so nervous, just call me by my name."

Tabor controlled the tea cup to float in front of Newt, indicating that he could sit down first.

"Okay, Tab. I just didn't expect that the next time I saw you, it would be in the principal's office."

Newt sat on the sofa, obviously a little uncomfortable with the environment in the principal's office.

"Hmph! I didn't expect that the guy who was expelled would come back."

Principal Dippet's portrait groaned in displeasure, as if Newt had defiled this place.

Tabor slapped his forehead. He vaguely remembered that Newt's dismissal was probably someone else's fault.

"Principal Dippet, it's been so long. After all, you are a former student, so you should come back and take a look."

Tabor calmly painted the portraits of the principals, and then looked at Newt, who was a little embarrassed.

"You came to Hogwarts suddenly at this time. You must have something to do."

Newt nodded and took out his ID from his wizard robe.

"I now work for the Fire Dragon Research and Restraint Agency. While investigating and collecting some information about fire dragon species, the local Auror and I captured a group of travelers. According to them, some magical animals were transported to the UK. .

The local Aurors don't care about things here, but I still hope they can go home. "

Tabor was not surprised, but his mind suddenly thought of Kettleburn's nest of evil birds.

"You came to me. You probably know the whereabouts of those animals. Could it be that they are in Hogwarts?"

"Yes, yes. There is a pregnant evil bird among them. They should have been brought into Hogwarts. If any students keep such magical animals in captivity privately, the consequences may be serious."

Newt looked worried, but also a little lucky.At the very least, Hogwarts is peaceful now, and it doesn't look like anything big has happened.

"That bird... wasn't bought by a student. It was Professor Kettleburn, but I think he should have put the brood of badbirds in the Forbidden Forest."

Newt looked at Tabor stiffly, and he had already begun to pray for the pregnant evil bird and its poor child.

"It's very dangerous in the Forbidden Forest. The evil bird doesn't have any powerful means to protect itself."

Tabor waved his hand: "Don't worry, after I found out that Kettleburn was raising the evil birds, I found a safe place for them on the edge of the unicorn territory in the Forbidden Forest."

Newt stood up and wanted to walk out.

"I gonna go see."

Staring at Newt's back, Tubbo waved his hand to lift the spell on the portrait.

"Tub Prince! You should respect your seniors."

Tabor rolled his eyes, regretting that he immediately dismissed Silence.Although these portraits will not cause any real harm, if the train of thought in the mind is interrupted, it will be difficult to reconnect.

"You are just a portrait. Besides, interrupting other people's conversations is a very rude thing in itself."

After Tabor finished speaking, he rubbed his head. He always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something.

You must know that no matter how good your memory is, there will always be things that are subconsciously forgotten.

Relive the moments after meeting Newt.

Tubber slapped his thigh and then remembered that he had just told Professor Kettleburn that the bad bird must be released into the Forbidden Forest before the Christmas vacation was over.

But it didn't specify that day, maybe Kettleburn is in the Forbidden Forest now!

Just as Tabor was thinking, a ball of fire suddenly shone by the window, and a high-pitched dragon roar resounded through the sky.

"Apparation."

Tabor appeared next to the dragon, a brass-colored dragon with smooth scales, black ridges on its back and sharp horns on its head.

Compared with other giant dragons, its body shape is a bit small.

Professor Kettleburn, holding the bird's nest, fell under a tree, with a hideous wound on his leg that kept bubbling.

"Newt, Kettleburn! I need an explanation."

Tabor directly used the stunner mixed with divine power to knock down the Peruvian Venomtooth Dragon, and then stared at the two adults in annoyance, who were not as worry-free as Severus.

"Ahem~, Principal Prince. I think we need to send Professor Kettleburn to the hospital wing first."

Newt warned carefully, and at the same time glanced at the fire dragon with some concern, which hit the ground heavily after being unconscious.

"Ms. Pomfrey, please take Professor Kettleburn to the hospital wing. I need to ask why there is a fire dragon in the school."

Madam Pomfrey looked at Kettleburn's legs, her expression full of solemnity.

You must know that it is difficult to treat a bite from a giant dragon, let alone a highly venomous dragon like the Peruvian Venomtooth.

"Tell me, where did the dragon come from?"

Newt, who knew he was in the wrong, whispered: "It escaped from my box."

"Newt, even though it's Christmas vacation, most students haven't come back yet. However, everyone in Hogwarts Castle can see the movement just now."

Tabor's expression was full of pain, and he seemed to be able to think of what would be written in tomorrow's Daily Prophet.

"I'm very sorry. This dragon also came out of that place. It was abused by humans, so..."

Tabor was a little crazy. As expected, people who particularly like magical animals are unstable factors.

Newt carefully put the Peruvian Vipertooth back into his box, and then walked to the bird's nest that was abandoned on the ground.
