Chapter 28 Newt's Owl Science



Chapter 28 Newt's Owl Science
After the transformation incident, the relationship between John and David has improved. John will try his best to meet David's needs.

And John also became David's fighting coach. During the training process, David found that John's fighting skills were actually very good, but it seemed that he didn't want to use spells to attack others.

In the process of getting along happily with John, the time passed extremely quickly, and it soon entered June.

The weather has become very hot, and the air is rippling under the hot sun.

David and John walked out of the forest with a basket, which contained a lot of medicinal materials that John needed. During this period of time, he showed his outstanding potion talent.

Now he was trying to mix the wolfsbane potion himself, so that Newt would not have to spend money to buy it.

After all, the money to buy medicinal materials is much less than medicine.

When he was walking to the door, David suddenly heard a loud bird call from behind, a bit like an owl.

David wiped the sweat off his forehead, turned around and looked up, and saw an owl with a white belly and a pale yellow back flying towards him.

David stretched out his arms forward, and the owl flapped its wings and slowly landed on his hand.

"Grandpa, come and see." David said, carrying the owl into the house.

Newt turned his head and walked over in a few strides. After taking the owl from David's hand, he looked back at Tina. She was still sitting on the sofa without any response.

Newt coughed twice, and said loudly to David: "This bird is called a barn owl, and look at the face of this owl, doesn't it look like a monkey's face?"

David looked at the owl's face, and it was really like this. Its face plate was flat and heart-shaped, with dark maroon edges around it, and white fluff in the middle, which really looked like a monkey's face.

"So in China, the local residents also call them monkey-faced eagles." After Newt finished speaking, he glanced at Tina again, but she still didn't respond.

"The barn owls mainly build their nests in tree holes or rock crevices. During the day they hide in the forest to recharge their batteries, and at night they come out to hunt for food, usually eating mice, frogs, snakes, etc." Newt continued: "They have a brutal temperament. After catching mice, they will swallow the small ones directly, and the big ones will peck at the head first, and then swallow the mice after tearing the body."

"And even after they are full, they will not let go of mice easily. This kind of bird is distributed in many parts of the world."

After Newt finished speaking, Tina finally responded. She snorted coldly and said, "Sent by Hogwarts to deliver the acceptance letter?"

Newt breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to be enlightened and said, "Oh, Tina, don't tell me I didn't see it, it seems that there is really a letter tied to its foot."

Newt took the letter from the monkey-faced eagle's feet, and read: "Mr. David Scamander, um, it's for you, David, open it and have a look."

David opened the envelope and took out the letter inside to look at it.

There are a few big words written on the top: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft.

Below it reads:

Dear Mr Scamander:
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.A list of required books and equipment is attached on the envelope.Semester is scheduled to start on September 31.We will be waiting for your owl to bring your reply before July [-]st.

Vice Principal (Female)
Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall

"Grandma, it's the acceptance letter from Hogwarts," David said.

"Are there any things you need to buy for the new semester?" Tina said blankly.

"Yes." David pulled out a piece of paper at the back, which stated the books and crucible and other equipment needed for the new semester.

"Do you want me to take you shopping?" Tina said coldly.

"No, no need." Newt replied first: "I'll just take David there tomorrow. It just so happens that I haven't taken him out for a long time, so take this opportunity to buy him some presents."

Tina snorted again, but she didn't object, and she didn't know how Newt persuaded her to allow David to study at Hogwarts.

John, who was standing beside him, also breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere just now was a bit depressing. He said, "Are you going to Hogwarts to study? Studying in a magic school can be a very interesting thing, and you will definitely like it." .”

David nodded and said, "Is the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry also using owls to send admission notices?"

"Oh, no, it seems that Hogwarts is the only one like this. Our admission notices all suddenly appeared in our mailboxes or at the door. No one knows how they were delivered." John shrugged his shoulders.

"What about the branch?" David asked with interest.

"Hmm~" John thought for a while, "When freshmen enter the school, they will first be taken into the rotunda at the entrance of the castle, where there are four wooden sculptures representing the four colleges."

"As the new students file in, the rest of the staff and students watch from the circular terrace above."

"Freshmen, after standing in a circle against the wall, are called one by one to the center of the stone floor of the hall, above the Gordian Knot."

"The four magical sculptures will consider whether they want the student to enroll in their own college, and based on their responses we can know which college the student attends."

"For example, when you meet a suitable student, the crystal embedded in the forehead of the horned water snake will light up, the cat and leopard will roar, the thunderbird will flap its wings and fly, and Pukeqi will raise the bow and arrow in his hand."

David smacked his lips after hearing this. The sorting ceremony at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft sounds more advanced than Hogwarts!

Hogwarts has been around for thousands of years, it seems that they are still sorting with that broken hat?
Suddenly, David realized a problem, and he said: "What if the four sculptures recognize the new student at the same time? Then how to divide the school? Let the four sculptures fight, and whoever wins will go to whoever wins?"

John smiled and said, "Of course not. If the freshman gets the approval of the four sculptures, then it will be up to the student to choose the academy he likes. For example, the former president of the Magical Congress of America, Serafina Pique Ni was recognized by four sculptures at the same time, and finally she chose the Longhorn Water Serpent Academy."

"This happens about once in a decade," John added.

David suddenly regretted that I couldn't go to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, so the once-in-a-ten-year scene might be gone.
Hey, I don't know if the Sorting Hat will call out the names of the four houses.

A scene appeared in David's mind.

The Sorting Hat shouted the names of the four schools.

All the teachers and students stood there blankly, looking at themselves in disbelief.

The deans of the four colleges stood beside him, holding his hand, and constantly offering him various preferential conditions, asking him to enroll in their colleges.

Tsk, don't tell me this picture is quite beautiful.

 Please recommend tickets, please collect, thank you everyone, hope to have a good time!
