Half an hour later.

Newt Scamander's house, living room.

Just as the three of Ellina were walking down the stairs, they smelled an alluring aroma.

While the girls were showering and frolicking in the bathroom, Tina Scamander, who had returned to the living room, had already prepared dinner for the evening. The clean and tidy dining table was already filled with various steaming dishes.

"Wow, it smells so good... Is it pan-fried chicken nuggets for dinner today?"

Ellina twitched her nose lightly, walked to the table in surprise, grabbed a golden-brown fried chicken nugget and threw it into her mouth, chewing quickly. The little tuft of hair on her head seemed to come alive, shaking happily.

The physical exertion spent on bathing was even greater than that spent on Quidditch matches.

Ever since Hannah mastered the "second layer" unlocking method of healing runes, the amount of energy Ellina needed to expend each time she took a bath had increased more than twice - even if they rarely used runes in the bathroom, as they used them more frequently in their daily lives, their physical strength was much higher than before.

And at this time, tender chicken nuggets oozing with golden oil were undoubtedly the perfect food to replenish protein consumption.

"Mrs. Scamander, leave it to me tomorrow. I have special experience in chicken cooking... Not to mention ten and a half days, even if the time is extended to two or three months, I can make different chicken dishes every day."

"Don't grab it with your hands, be careful it's hot! There are knives and forks on the table. You guys are too tired from training, let's talk about cooking on the weekend."

Tina Scamander smiled, pointed to the tableware placed on the side of the table, and said in a soft voice.

"Besides, you are not familiar with the environment here. It is a troublesome thing to buy vegetables or prepare seasonings. If you are really interested in cooking, I will accompany you to buy ingredients after training this Friday."

"Okay! Okay! Then it's a deal."

Ellina chewed the fragrant and tender pan-fried chicken in her mouth, squinted her eyes happily, and said triumphantly.

"Don't worry, as long as you and Mr. Scamander try my cooking once, you will definitely never forget it - I don't know if you have subscribed to *A Bite of Hogwarts*, I can make all the dishes that appear on it! Even many new dishes, and cooking methods of ingredients, are my exclusive creations."

"Heh."

Newt Scamander, sitting at the end of the dining table, twitched his cheek and made a strange gurgling sound in his throat.

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned. As soon as he heard this, he subconsciously recalled the news that Albus Dumbledore had told him not long ago, what the true identity of the so-called "Hogwarts Forbidden Forest Soft-Shell Crab" was.

As a Magizoologist, Newt now particularly hated his rich knowledge reserves and imagination.

If Acromantula could be served as crab legs on the table after changing its name, then perhaps the other dishes on that magazine with common biological names also contained ingredients from similar categories of magical creatures.

"Mr. Scamander, were you saying something just now?"

Ellina raised her head keenly and looked at the old freckled man sitting on the other side of the table, asking curiously.

"By the way... Did Professor Dumbledore come again this afternoon?"

She hadn't found a suitable entry point to inquire about the braised food, so she could only try to probe indirectly.

However, the only thing that was certain was that Albus Dumbledore was behind the entire incident, otherwise the little braised food would not have been able to cross such a long distance from Hogwarts Castle to appear here.

And with the sudden arrival of the braised food, the entire summer tutoring session undoubtedly began to become interesting.

You know, if Dumbledore completely sided with Newt Scamander, it would not make sense to return the three-headed dog to its little master unless... Grandpa took action to lower the difficulty of the level a little bit.

In that case, it seemed that there was a trace of possibility that Newt Scamander could be won over by her?

There are no eternal alliances in this world.

Only chaotic-good fools will label everyone, then kill (or be killed) all those marked as bad people. Uniting all the forces that can be united is the quality that a qualified dark lord should possess.

Generally speaking, people with high power, prestige, a sense of justice, and self-belief, when they are deceived and betrayed by people in their own camp, are more likely to experience the phenomenon of 'falling into evil' than ordinary worldly people - that is, the legendary "darkening" or "corruption," a shift in allegiance.

Although this might be a bit difficult for Newt, who is already over ninety years old, it is still worth a try.

Facing Ellina's inquiry, Newt, who was cutting bread, paused slightly, then put down the knife and fork in his hand, raised his head and looked at the Veela hybrid sitting opposite him, nodded, and generously replied:

"Yes, that's right, but this time it's not about you... For some reason, Professor Dumbledore asked me to temporarily take care of a rare magical creature for him. After dinner, I'll take you to see it, of course, and the little guys in the underground zoo."

After a slight pause, Newt Scamander coughed lightly and moved his gaze to his plate and continued.

"But you have to be careful, it's not completely tamed yet. So if you don't have my company, don't go to the underground area alone. Before understanding the habits of magical creatures and forming bonds with them, there is still some danger."

"Okay, I got it."

Ellina blinked her eyes happily, and also lowered her head to look at the plate in front of her.

However, unlike Newt Scamander, she was trying to prevent the uncontrollable arc of the corners of her mouth from arousing the vigilance of a certain Magizoologist in advance - the surprise will only seem precious when it is preserved until the moment the gift is unwrapped.

What a harmonious and warm scene...

Tina Scamander looked at Ellina, and then at her husband beside her, and her face became softer.

Since the children grew up and started their own families, Newt had rarely said so much to strangers. In Tina's impression, this situation was considered a fairly rare "talkative" mode, which undoubtedly made her particularly happy.

Maybe in a few days, she could try writing a letter to invite her son's family back for a visit.

If Tina remembered correctly, her little grandson should be old enough to go to magic school this year. If nothing unexpected happened, he should have received his Hogwarts acceptance letter. It would be good to get to know his classmates in advance.

Of course, it would be even better if they could eventually develop into good friends at school...

Based on her observations throughout the day, these three little girls were quite excellent in every way.

As she got older, Tina didn't plan to let her grandson drag his feet like his father did, until he was old enough to get married and start a family - she and Newt were hoping to hold their great-grandchild as soon as possible.

………

Dinner didn't last too long.

"Alright, alright, leave it to me to deal with here."

Seeing the last piece of bread on the table being wiped clean, Tina Scamander stood up proactively for once, put on the apron hanging behind her husband's chair, and began to clean up the dishes and the messy kitchen, while whispering.

"Newt, you take the children to visit the lower level... Remember to protect their safety. If that big guy that Professor Dumbledore sent is dangerous, I suggest you don't be too careless - you're not getting any younger."

"Don't worry, this is the field I've been studying all my life, I know what I'm doing."

Newt Scamander shrugged dismissively, and a rare look of pride flashed on his face.

"As long as I'm here, even if I'm facing a group of irritable Hebridean Black Dragons, I can protect these children, not to mention that most of the magical creatures they are about to encounter are interesting and intelligent."

After an afternoon of running in and communicating, Newt didn't worry at all that the three-headed dog would lose control.

However, in order to deter those few restless little guys during this time, Newt planned to cooperate with the clever three-headed dog to put on a show, to scare them the first time they met, so that they would know that there was a "vicious dog" blocking the way, so as to cut off the idea that they might sneak into the underground animal area in the future.

According to his observations, the intelligence of this magical three-headed dog was almost close to the level of a normal eleven or twelve-year-old child. In other words, it might even be smarter than some first and second-year Hogwarts students.

At least in terms of acting skills and understanding human language, it had an amazing talent.

…………

A few minutes later.

Under Newt's lead, they passed through the living room and came to an ordinary birch door. If it weren't for the magical ripples that flashed on the door from time to time, Ellina would have even suspected that this door led to a secondary bedroom or storage room.

"This is it. Children, stop first, and be careful to stand behind me..."

Newt Scamander stopped and patted his palms with a serious expression, saying seriously.

"The place I am about to take you to is the underground animal area that I have slowly built up over the years, which provides shelter, breeding, and medical places for those rare magical creatures. I hope you can listen to my command and don't run around."

"Especially when entering the animal area passage, you must remain calm and don't panic."

"This afternoon, Professor Dumbledore just sent a very mysterious and dangerous magical creature. Its rarity is not even recorded in detail in my *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them* series of books..."

"Therefore," Newt Scamander lowered his voice, "I must ask you not to scream, that may anger it."

Hannah Abbott held her breath nervously and nodded seriously.

And a little behind her, Ellina and Luna exchanged glances, and the expressions on their faces were a little strange at this time - Ellina sensed it through the magic contract, while Luna directly guessed it through an "inspiration" moment.

Although they had tried their best to perform "nervous emotions," Ellina and Luna really found it difficult to show realistic nervous and serious emotions like Hannah "iron-headed" Abbott when they thought about the guy behind the door.

At this moment, Newt Scamander took out his wand and carefully pushed open the door.

"Awoo!"

"Woof! Woof!"

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

The next second, accompanied by a gradually becoming strange roar, the huge black shadow behind the door suddenly jumped up, shaking its head and tail and rising into the air, rushing towards Newt and his party impatiently.

"Oops! Back! Back quickly! Obstacles everywhere!"

Newt's face changed instantly, and he quickly waved the wand in his hand.

However, before Newt's spell could take effect on the "mad" three-headed dog, Hannah Abbott's surprised voice suddenly came from his ear - "Fluffy?! What are you doing here?"

Hannah's eyes lit up, stepped forward quickly, and skillfully hugged the three-headed dog that had quickly shrunk into a puppy form.

Newt Scamander: ???

"Braised, you're getting fat again! That won't do, you need to exercise more!"

Luna Lovegood walked past a petrified wizard and rubbed the puppy's belly.

Newt Scamander: ??!

"Mr. Newt, you are such a good person, you even brought Little Braised to accompany me..."

Ellina stretched out her finger and casually teased the three-headed dog, which was a huge and ferocious war beast a few seconds ago, letting the puppy lick her fingers in turn with its three heads, and turned her head with a smile.

"This, this three-headed dog..." Newt said intermittently, as if he had been cast with a tongue-tying curse.

"That's right, this big dog is a gift my grandfather gave me. Is there a problem..."

Ellina raised her eyebrows and showed a lovely smile.

"Could it be that Professor Dumbledore didn't tell you beforehand? Mr. Scamander."
