Hogwarts: The Greatest Wizard - Chapter 313

c313 311 Nico’s Manor

Leah was silent for a moment, then looked at Feeney and asked,

“So, when are we going to find her?”

Feeney shook his head and said,

“Don’t worry, we need to confirm her identity first, and then decide whether to go find her or not. Besides, I brought you here to have fun, so just leave these things to me alone.”

With that said, Feeney stood up from the sofa in the hall, smiled at Leah and said,

“Come on, I’ll take you around. You know, there are a lot of interesting treasures here,”

Leah nodded with a smile and handed her hand to Feeney. Feeney held it with his backhand and led her out of the villa.

Nico’s manor has a forest and a small garden.

The first destination that Finilla took Leah to was the outskirts of the forest not far from the small garden. It could be said that it was within the scope of the small garden, but there were some dotted trees around it.

“These trees are all magical and are usually suitable as materials for wand bodies. Although some of them cannot be made into wands, their branches, leaves, or fruits can be used to make alchemy or potion materials. They are all Ni But it was planted specially when he was young to provide him with many alchemy materials,”

Having said this, Feeney and Leah squatted down and rummaged on the ground. After a while, he dug out a pile of black or light brown oval in the soil, about 35 mm long. A headless insect with a pair of small tentacles.

“these are?”

Seeing the little bugs that Feeny grabbed and threw in a small jar, Leah shuddered. Although she often used various bug corpses in potions class, they were all dead. , and these were all alive in Feeney’s hands, so she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

Feeney raised the small jar and smiled at Leah and said,

“These are rhinoceros, a kind of potion ingredient that is not commonly used but is very common. Likewise, they are also Bowtruckle’s favorite food. Do you know Bowtruckle?”

Hearing this, Leah nodded in approval.

“The Bowtruckle is a hard-to-find, hand-sized, insect-eating animal. It has long, sharp fingers on each hand and brown eyes that look like they are made of tree bark. Made of twigs, it’s easy to camouflage.”

“They live in certain forests in the west of England, southern Germany and Scanvia. Bowtruckles become guardians of the trees they inhabit, and the wood of these trees is often suitable for making wands. Although The Bowtruckle is usually gentle by nature, but will become aggressive if something threatens the safety of the tree and itself. To remove leaves or wood from the tree that the Bowtruckle protects, the wizard needs to give it. They are some rustic or fairy eggs”

At this point, Leah also understood what Feeney meant. She looked at Feeney in surprise.

“You mean in this forest…”

Feeney nodded with a smile and said,

“Although this manor is protected by Nico’s spell and no one can find the specific location here, after all, it is not another space, it is still in reality, and such a large area of ​​magical trees will inevitably attract a large number of protectors. The Bowtruckle tree, therefore, the garden soil near the woods is also deliberately stocked with a lot of rhinoceros, and Nico is a very interesting person,”

Leah’s eyes suddenly lit up. When Feeney didn’t remind her before, she had never thought of such a creature as the Bowtruckle. Now that it was mentioned, the little girl couldn’t help but think of the stories she often heard when she was a child.

The famous magical zoologist Newt Scamander is said to have a Bowtruckle, and he has saved many dangers with this Bowtruckle. At that time, the little girl fantasized many times that she also had a Bowtruckle. Hunchback as a pet. And begged his father to buy one as a gift for him,

However, this kind of creature is actually not very common in the magical world.

You must know that although there are many trees that can be used as wands, most of them are planted by wizards. After a certain age, they will be cut down and sold, and they will not grow enough for the Bowtruckle to be stationed there.

Secondly, Bowtruckles are not a threat in the eyes of wizards who understand their habits, but in the eyes of people who do not understand them, they are indeed a very dangerous creature. When they rashly approach the trees they protect, they will be thrown by them. Wood, some people also use this habit to obtain the materials of magic trees, because the Bowtruckles throw away the bark or branches and leaves of the tree they protect.

Because of these characteristics of Bowtruckles, no one would choose to sell them as magical pets. After all, they are still too dangerous for children.

The little girl’s childhood fantasy was thus declared over.

Now, Feeney once again mentioned the Bowtruckle, and right before her eyes, the little girl’s silent heart became active again,

Looking at the little girl with an eager face, Feeney smiled and said,

“If you want to raise a Bowtruckle, then you need to feed them yourself to gain their friendship, and then invite them. By the way, remember to prepare a section of magical trees as their nest. Of course, if Living magic trees are the best.”

Leah looked at Fini with gleaming eyes, pulled Fini’s sleeves with both hands, and shook them from side to side.

“Finny, help me,”

You must know that Leah would not have done such a thing to Fini in the past. When Fini first met her, she was a taciturn and cold goddess. Ni speaks only a few words in isolation.

Later, Feeney came into contact with the curse on her body, and then she started to talk more, but that was only for Feeney.

Now that she is engaged, Leah will act coquettishly toward Fini and ask him to do something for her. Isn’t this great?

Feeney smiled and nodded,

“Okay, let me help you.”

After saying that, he took Leah’s hand and walked into the woods.

As soon as they entered the woods, both Feeney and Leah felt the breath of life. You must know that there are not only trees here, but also many magical animals that are not dangerous, and they all provide Alchemy materials for Nico. Of course, Yes, it’s the renewable one.

Feeney, who has good eyesight, was very keen to see that there were small creatures made of bark and twigs on a few trees. Those were Bowtruckles.

Then he immediately took Leah’s hand and leaned over.

“Move gently, don’t let them think we are a threat,”

At the same time, Feeney also opened the jar containing the turtles and used his fingers to control a few of them to fly up and get closer to the tree.

Sure enough, when the rhinoceros approached the tree, a branch of the tree jumped up, hugged one of the rhinoceros, and then landed on the tree and slowly nibbled on it. This action actually made Feeney feel a little cute. .

Slowly, the bowtruckles hiding in this tree came out from their hiding places, hugged the turtles and ate them. They ate very quickly.

Slowly, Leah also joined in the feeding operation. Moreover, Leah was different from Feeney. She fed them with her hands, and she only fed a few. The goal was very clear.

The result was naturally gratifying. The Rogge and Leah were all familiar with each other, and they climbed on Leah’s body without fear of people, so that they could eat food more easily.

Leah was also amused by these little things.

Seeing this scene, Feeney shook his head helplessly, told Leah to pay attention to safety, and then took the remaining bumpkins to other places.

He will definitely get materials here in the future. It is necessary to establish a good relationship with these Bowtruckles in advance. Moreover, it is impossible for Feeney to have no idea about such a useful little thing. However, he and Li It’s different. It’s just that the purpose is not that strong.

In other words, his first goal was not to have a Bowtruckle as a pet, so the behavior of targeting a few of them was very inconsistent with his behavioral logic.

When Finny inspected the entire forest, Leah was still playing there with the bowtruckles.

“Huh? Are you okay? Aren’t you going to patrol the entire forest?”

Leah was a little surprised to see Finny coming back and asked,

Feeney smiled and said,

“This place is said to be a forest, but it is actually much smaller. After all, it was just a place where Nico raised the magical animals he needed at first. Later, because Nico never killed chickens to obtain eggs, this place developed like a forest. A natural forest.”

Leah nodded thoughtfully, put the Bowtruckle on her shoulder back on the tree, and stood up with some reluctance to leave with Feeney.

In the end, there was nothing wrong with Leah, who should be reluctant to part with her the most. On the contrary, the bowtruckle held on to Leah’s fingers tightly and refused to let go.

“Little guy, I have to leave, let me go quickly,”

Leah squatted down helplessly and said to the little guy on her finger,

As a result, the little guy still didn’t let go, just holding him like that.

Feeney walked over with a smile and said softly,

“Are you going to go with her?”

Hearing this, the Bowtruckle nodded its little head, which was no different from a leaf, quickly crawled from Leah’s fingers to her clothes pocket, and grabbed hold of Leah’s clothes. His posture seemed to be saying, “I won’t let go until I die.”

Seeing this, Leah laughed happily, and Feeney rubbed Leah’s head helplessly.

“You’re going to be happy this time, your wish came true.”

Leah smiled and nodded vigorously,

“Um,”

Feeney stood up and said,

“Okay, I’ll take you to meet two people who are very important to me.”

“Who?”

“Just follow me.”

During this question and answer, Feeney led Leah to the depths of the small garden. There are two tombstones next to each other.

A tombstone inscribed: Nicholas Flamel

On the other piece is inscribed: Perenal Flamel

As well as their epitaphs and dates of birth and death,

The moment she saw the tombstone, Lia also realized who was buried here.

“them,,,”

Feeney nodded and said,

“Nico and his wife didn’t like noisy, so they were buried in the manor after their deaths, because only I can bring people in, and they trust the people I bring in. The couple lived together for five years. For more than a hundred years, we will always be together after death,”

Leah said with emotion,

“They are so loving.”

When Feeney heard this, he burst into tears and laughed.

“The love is true, but the two of them often have conflicts. They are both older, and they are just like two children when they are alive,”

Leah’s eyes were full of longing,

The longing in his eyes was well captured by Feeney. He looked at Leah teasingly,

“You are very yearning for it. I know how Nico’s magic stone is made and the formula of the elixir of life. How about we also live for six hundred years and stay together forever.”

After hearing this, Lia’s little face suddenly turned red. It was obvious that she was eager for this, but she still shook her head and refused.

“No, we can just die normally. If we live too long, we will get tired of living a happy life. Moreover, the value of the magic stone is too great. I don’t want to be like Nico and his wife in their later years, having to stay in this house.” Inside the manor.”

Feeney shook his head and said with a smile,

“If you think that Nico and his wife have been hiding here in their later years, you are wrong. They are not that honest. They especially like opera and occasionally go out to listen to opera.”

“Really?”

Leah looked at Feeney blankly. She really didn’t expect Nico and the others to do this.

Feeney smiled and nodded,

“Not only that, they would also do it without telling Dumbledore. If they were discovered, they would say that Dumbledore was wrong. Those days were extremely interesting.”

As soon as Leah heard what Feeney said, she knew that Feeney was talking about the days after he was freed from his curse. It is said that that holiday itself was the day when Nico was preparing to die.

Feeney and Dumbledore also sent their last words to the couple,

The young couple stayed in front of the tombstones of Mr. and Mrs. Nico for a long time. They talked about the personalities of Mr. and Mrs. Nico, interesting stories between them, and their own future. They talked freely and freely.

After the sky gradually darkened, Feeney waited for Leah to return to the villa, and then waited for the little girl to visit the villa again.

After she saw Nico during his lifetime, it was now Fini’s alchemy laboratory, Perenal’s kitchen, potion room, Nico’s study, the living room, living room, and bedroom shared by the two of them.

and a variety of magical alchemical items,

Although Leah had never been to the Muggle world, she got to know many Muggle items because of Hermione. She actually found many Muggle items in this manor shrouded in magic.

Including their TVs, refrigerators, etc.

These Muggle items have been transformed by Nico, and they can use the power of magic to receive signals from Muggles and watch Muggle programs. Leah, who has never seen anything like this before, is very excited and finds it extremely interesting.

Seeing this, Feeney just smiled, got up and went to the kitchen.

The house elf that Nico left for Finny in this manor was sent to No. 12 Grimmauld Place. After all, the house elf was too old to take care of Finny.

As for Puff, Feeney sent him to do something, so Feeney can only do it by himself tonight.
