After learning that the author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", Mr. Newt Scamander, the Master of Magical Creatures, would temporarily take over their Care of Magical Creatures classes, almost all the young wizards began to look forward to their next classes.
Looking at the little wizards who were whispering and constantly glancing at him, Newt did not interrupt them. Instead, he waited until they gradually quieted down before speaking with a smile.
"I am very happy to serve as a substitute professor for your elective course Care of Magical Creatures. My name is Newt Scamander, and I am sure many of you are familiar with me."
Newt said to everyone with a smile on his face.
Looking at these young faces, Newt felt as if he had become young again.
At this moment, both the little lions of Gryffindor and the little snakes of Slytherin fully demonstrated due respect for this respectable old man. They listened to Newt's speech patiently and applauded at the right time.
Perhaps to take into account the feelings of the young wizards, or perhaps to emulate Dumbledore, Newt did not say too much empty words, but quickly got to the point.
"I think you are all guessing what magical animals we will see in this class?"
Newt said mysteriously.
Hearing Newt's words, a little Gryffindor lion below asked with an expectant expression: "Professor Scamander, what we are going to see today must be a very ferocious magical beast, like the Hippogriff."
Although a little wizard was injured in Hagrid's first class, the little lions in Gryffindor knew that it was Malfoy's own fault for insulting Buckbeak. In the eyes of the little lions who loved adventure, Hagrid's first Care of Magical Creatures class was probably the most interesting one so far.
Newt smiled at the little lion and said, "I don't deny that ferocious magical animals can bring everyone a good visual experience, but I think it's too early for third-year wizards. Of course, this is not because they are so dangerous, but maybe not every third-year wizard can control his or her behavior well, right?"
Hearing Newt's words, the little Gryffindor lions naturally thought of Malfoy and they all laughed.
Even the Slytherin snakes were mostly unable to refute Newt's remarks.
Looking at Malfoy, whose face was turning pale and blue not far away, Harry and Ron couldn't help but smile, and there was a bit more kindness in their eyes when they looked at Newt.
"Mr. Scamander, this means you will display those ferocious animals in your senior class, right?"
Hermione asked curiously.
Newt smiled and nodded: "Yes, older wizards are always more stable. I think they have enough self-control and will not provoke magical animals that can kill them."
As Newt finished speaking, everyone laughed again.
Obviously, although Newt did not mention the fact that Malfoy provoked Buckbeak and was injured, he kept mentioning this matter.
Just like Harry, Newt is also a very good friend of Hagrid, and now that his friend has been wronged, Newt will naturally not sit idly by.
Even a clay man can get angry, let alone Newt, a well-known master of magical creatures!
Although as a good guy, he couldn't use a harsh tone to target a student like Professor Snape, but in the process of the statement, if he appropriately mentioned the matter, the little wizards' imagination would be able to achieve his goal.
After making a subtle mockery of Malfoy, Newt stopped focusing on personal matters and started teaching seriously.
Newt opened the suitcase that Irina had placed on the stone bench. He whistled, and a fat, downy bird jumped out of the box. It seemed that it could not fly at all. It would rather jump slowly and clumsily from the box to Newt than flap its wings.
"This is the magical animal we are going to see today. Its name is the ball-escape bird. Can anyone tell me what kind of magical animal the ball-escape bird is?"
Newt reached out and picked up the ball bird, and looked at everyone with a smile.
As a top student, Hermione took a step forward without hesitation. She said confidently, "Mr. Scamander, the Ball-Escape bird is native to Mauritius. It is a fat, downy bird that cannot fly. It is famous for its extraordinary means of escaping danger. It can disappear without a trace without any effort and then pop up from another place."
Newt smiled and nodded, saying, "Very good, these are what I recorded in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. It can be seen that you have a deep understanding of the knowledge in the book. Can you tell me your name?"
Hearing Newt's praise, Hermione couldn't help but smile: "Hermione Granger. Sir, I have studied every chapter of your Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them three times by myself, and I have memorized them all."
Newt looked at Hermione in surprise.
He didn't expect Hermione to have memorized everything in his book. You know, even many famous magizoologists today may not be able to tell the characteristics of all the magical animals recorded in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"!
"Okay, Miss Granger, for your accurate answer to the characteristics of the spherical bird, Gryffindor will give you five points," Newt said, and he looked around at everyone again, "Also, does anyone want to add anything? It's not limited to the content of the textbook!"
Irina thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Scamander, it is said that our wizard's Apparition spell was invented based on the special ability of the ball-escape bird to disappear from one place and appear in another place. Does this count?"
Newt nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, of course! Five more points for Gryffindor!"
After Irina, some young wizards who knew something about the magical animal, the Flying Bird, also raised their hands to add some information, but because most of the knowledge points about the Flying Bird had been recorded in the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", they were answered by Hermione.
The more important knowledge point, such as the relationship between the Ball-Escape Bird and the Apparition Charm, had already been answered by Irina, so even if they could add some content, most of it would be irrelevant.
However, in order not to undermine the self-confidence of the young wizards, Newt still added one to three school points for each young wizard who added new content.
