I Was Spotted By Grindelwald and Went To Hogwarts - Vol 2 Chapter 480
Following the direction of the dragon’s roar, Sean and Hermione walked carefully through the jungle.
“So far—” Hermione gasped, wiping the sweat from her brow.
Sean handed over a handkerchief: “No way, the gathering of fire dragons will cause fire dragons to roar at each other, and will stimulate their attacks**, maintaining this state for a long time is not good for fire dragons themselves – McFaith The people of the Ti family will not intervene in the normal battles of life, old age, sickness, death and territory between fire dragons, but if it is a man-made situation, they will definitely intervene.”
Hermione took the handkerchief and wiped her forehead softly, then whispered, “The McFasty family still likes fire dragons? It sounds similar to Professor Scamander.”
Sean spread his hands: “No, they are more like guarding the glory and creed of their own family, they only care about their black dragons in the Hebrides, and other fire dragons are not in their scope of concern – in fact, even the Hebrides Black dragons are similar, they don’t allow this group of black dragons to go to other habitats.”
“Maintain the dignity and nature of the fire dragon within your own control?” Hermione concluded.
“It can almost be said that many wizarding families have this habit of maintaining the codes and creeds handed down from their ancestors, but maintaining only the rules themselves.” Sean said.
If the McFasty family really loves the black dragon of the Hebrides, the other party may follow the black dragon’s own opinion – but this is unlikely.
The other party kept the black dragon alone far away from the dragon group. By the time Sean and Hermione found it, the moon was already hanging high above their heads.
Covering the invisibility cloak, the two quietly approached the open space.
In the specially made huge cage, two Hebridean black dragons were lying on the ground, and one of them looked around every now and then.
“It seems to be waiting for you…” Hermione whispered.
“Okay – let me see…”
Sean looked over, and there were eight people around the cage. They were wearing black convenient wizard robes and covered with thick dragonskin cloaks. They were whispering something at this moment.
Sean was very impressed with this outfit. The first-year McFastey family dressed like this when they came to pick up the little black dragon, and at the hem of the robe there was the McFastey family crest—surrounding The fire dragon has a letter m formed by a dragon’s tail in the center.
Following the memory in his mind, Sean looked at the group of people, and then regrettably found that there seemed to be no leader who he had seen before, and it seemed that he was not leading the team this time.
That uncle seems to be very talkative, but it’s a pity…
Sean stood there thinking, Hermione watched, and couldn’t help but ask after a while, “Do you know these McFasty people? Can you ‘agree’?”
“I don’t know, it’s not good to show up rashly, and if we don’t talk to each other, after the black dragon disappears, they will still suspect me.” Sean said.
“Agree?” Hermione asked in confusion.
“I met two McFasteys in first grade,” Sean explained, “I wanted to see if I could get on with it, and then, emm—”
Hermione was stunned for a moment, then looked at him in disbelief: “Aren’t you prepared?”
“Miss Granger, who knows me, yes, I was going to buy it directly with Jin Galleon.” Sean spread his hands.
Hermione patted her head: “That’s a fire dragon! Are you going to buy two fire dragons?!”
“What can’t you do, the sale of magical animals has always existed, owls, toads, lizards, spiders – and those raw materials used for various magical props, these can be bought and sold, but some are illegal and some are legal. , is it strange that the trading partner is changed to a fire dragon?”
“But—will they sell?” Hermione asked hesitantly.
“This is the problem. According to the information I got from Stephanie, the McFasty family will sell the corpses of fire dragons that died of old age or accidental death, such as dragon heartstrings, but they don’t seem to sell fire dragons. – Mr. Ollivander originally wanted to buy a Black Dragon from the Little Hebrides to try the effect of the Dragon Heartstring as the core of the wand, but was rejected by the other party.”
“That sounds…” Hermione frowned.
Sean smiled: “It’s kind of cruel.”
The girl nodded silently.
“It has always been the case. Among the three core materials used by Mr. Ollivander, dragon heartstrings are taken from corpses. Although magical animals have various magical powers, for wizards, their essence is still Animals can be domesticated, controlled, and of course slaughtered as a source of raw materials.” Sean said calmly.
Hermione pursed her lips and frowned.
Sean didn’t comfort her, but continued: “The materials you use to brew the potion come from various plants and animals, and some materials even have to be taken out—in order to maintain the medicinal properties. The dragon leather gloves and cloak you use also come from Since corpses, the books you like to read, there are many book covers with animal skins and rune symbols with animal blood, this is the slaughter of chiluoluo – why did you not have this kind of compassion at that time get up?”
“I, I…” Hermione tried to explain, but found herself at a loss for words – Sean was right.
The girl lowered her head and said nothing.
Sean glanced at her: “I know what you think, these two black dragons from the Hebrides will become my partners, and in your eyes, their status will also be higher, just like Dave and Naja. -This reminds you of other fire dragons, and your compassion suddenly rises.”
Hermione clenched her fists and then let them go, she said in frustration and remorse: “I’m double standard, I don’t know now… whether my so-called pity is to sympathize with these animals, or to satisfy my own morality. need…”
Sean smiled. “Why not have both?”
Hermione looked up in confusion.
“The two aren’t in conflict, and being compassionate isn’t a bad thing—I just want to tell you, Hermione, don’t use your opinion on anything else, whether it’s Fantastic Beasts or wizards.”
“Do I like Fantastic Beasts?” Sean asked.
Hermione nodded silently.
“Yeah, I like it very much, but I still use materials derived from various magical animals, and I won’t rush to the McFasty family and shout that I want to rescue the fire dragons – the wizard’s level is high. As for magical animals, this is an indisputable fact, so I choose to treat my animal friends well, and I still support the normal trading of magical animals, and I will definitely stop such behaviors as abuse and private sales.”
“But…” Hermione’s lips twitched.
Sean sighed: “You want to talk about those magical animals with advanced intelligence, right?”
“Um…”
“My choice is to get along with those highly intelligent animals that can communicate with humans normally, but I don’t care about other people’s thoughts – from another perspective, wouldn’t the animals kill each other? Can you save everyone Only? It’s part of nature, and wizards are part of the natural cycle.”
Hermione was silent for a long time this time, with tears in her eyes when she looked up, but she nodded to Sean.
“I understand what you mean…”
Sean smiled: “Of course, you are the smart Miss Granger.”
Hermione took a moment to recover, then said, “You’re also implying my house-elf liberation front, aren’t you?”
Sean admitted it frankly: “Yes, many people have found me and asked me to persuade you.”
Hermione touched her pocket, which contained a badge of s.p.e.w. She was going to start the house-elf liberation movement this year.
Sean took the badge and said softly, “I understand your intentions, but like I said, it’s a part of natural selection—”
“And, I shouldn’t be imposing my opinion on it, right?” Hermione whispered.
“Yeah, house elves are magical creatures of high intelligence, and the right to choose should be given to them – to be honest, I have already put away those socks, pillowcases and so on that you were going to throw around the castle.”
Hermione pursed her lips: “You already thought about it?”
“Ah, that’s true, because I’m friends with a lot of house-elves, and I know you’re going to bother them with this behavior – I accidentally dropped a scarf last time I went to the kitchen, and how many of them are Polis? Terrified, no one wants to pick up that scarf.” Sean laughed.
Seeing his smiling face, Hermione froze for a moment.
is a friend…
I always seem to miss the key points.
Looking at the thoughtful Hermione, Sean put his arm around her shoulder: “Go and make more friends with the house-elves later, ask their opinions, and then think about how your association will develop.”
Hermione nodded vigorously.
Sean showed his white teeth: “The agreement was reached smoothly, um, there is such a reward for going out to do bad things.”
“Isn’t this what you planned?” Hermione, who had returned to normal, asked suspiciously.
“Of course not—” Sean wouldn’t say that he did have such thoughts.
Hermione has always been sympathetic and righteous, and he did have this in mind when he brought Hermione, but he just didn’t expect to be able to go around it.
As long as Hermione can think about it, otherwise it is easy to get stuck in the horns.
However, there are other things to be resolved right now.
Sean raised his ears and listened for a while, then said, “You hide first, I’ll eavesdrop.”
“Well, be careful.”
Sean cast a Disillusionment Charm on himself under the Invisibility Cloak, and then sidled up to the McFasty family.
“…When the banquet is over today, we will take the black dragon back,” said one person.
“Well, the process has been discussed with Professor Dumbledore anyway—” the other person continued, “However, I didn’t expect that the child named Wallup would be able to communicate with the black dragons.”
A man who looked like the leader looked back at the two black dragons: “After they came back, they were a lot more excited than before. I think it was because of that child.”
“It’s ironic. We have managed the black dragon for generations, but there has never been such a person in the family who can communicate with the fire dragon.”
The leader’s face was serious: “We can manage the black dragon according to the ancestral teachings. Other things are not within our consideration, and communicating with the black dragon is meaningless for our mission.”
A woman who looked obviously much younger murmured, “I always feel that these two fire dragons are happier with that Wallup…”
“Put away your sentimentality,” the leader glanced at her. “The emotion of the fire dragon is not in our concern either. We have only one thing to do, to keep the fire dragon in its nature and let the McFasty family continue to be honored.”
The woman stopped talking, but looked sullen.
Another young man scratched his head: “What if that Wallup wanted these two fire dragons, for example, he taught us how to communicate with fire dragons, or bought them with money – the family is not very well-off recently…”
“Impossible, McFasty will never sell any black dragon from the Hebrides.” The leader said firmly.
Of course, he quietly added in his heart: “The dead don’t count.”
Sean, who was invisible for a while, understood McFasty’s attitude. As he said, it was not for the love of the black dragons in the Hebrides, nor was it for obtaining a lot of property, it was just For the honor of the family.
They “have to” continue to manage and support this group of fire dragons who “maintain the dignity of the dragon family”.
Then I don’t have any psychological burden… Sean thought silently.
It is unrealistic to think about spending money to solve it, but he has a plan.
Bypassing a few guards, Sean sneaked to the cage of the black dragon in the Hebrides.
The black dragon’s nose twitched, it smelled Sean’s smell, felt the invisible existence nearby, and immediately became excited.
“Shh – don’t make too much noise.” Sean used [Beast Whisperer] to communicate with the black dragon.
The black dragon snorted with sparks to show his understanding.
“Listen, man, I’ll ask again seriously, you want to come with me, live with me, you’ll get along with other magical creatures, like the Selma lake monster, basilisk, cat leopard or something… you You have to give up your territory and ethnic group in the Hebrides, you have to give up the sky where you can fly freely – of course, my place is quite big, but I will be comfortable when I go back… Then you have to bring your daughter-in-law…”
“Have you really made up your mind, man?”
Although Sean with a serious expression could not be seen, the black dragon shook its huge dragon head and looked very serious.
“Okay, since that’s the case,” Sean laughed, “Come with me—”
“Roar—” The black dragon let out a deafening roar.
The McFasty family looked over and turned their heads after finding nothing unusual.
Shawn, who was sweating and dizzy, rubbed his eardrums: “I said, don’t make too much noise.”
Heilong snorted embarrassedly.
“In order not to cause trouble, I figured out a way, then you all remember to cooperate with me… this way… this way… I’ll leave a spell first… and this way…”
Heilong snorted while listening, indicating that he understood.
“Then it’s settled… I’ll see you later.”
Heilong opened his mouth wide and wanted to roar, but when the sparks came out, he remembered Sean’s exhortation, and swallowed hard.
The guards looked at each other suspiciously: “Does the fire dragon still cough?”
