Over the years, it may be difficult for people to discern who Dumbledore trusted the most.
However, in the ranking of "Dumbledore's favorite student," Newt Scamander is undoubtedly the almost universally acknowledged first choice in the entire wizarding world, even almost written as an entry in the Chocolate Frog Card's description.
Although he has always denied this publicly, from Newt Scamander's perspective, he actually somewhat agreed.
Until this day...
"You seem surprised, Mr. Scamander?"
Eileen lightly flicked her hair, inadvertently revealing the Deathly Hallows pendant hidden in her chest, and looked at the old wizard in front of her, who looked like a marble sculpture, and asked calmly.
"If I'm not mistaken, Professor Dumbledore should have told you quite a few stories about me, right? But strangely, why did he leave out such a crucial piece of information? Perhaps, we need to have a good talk later..."
"This, this... I'm not... I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you're saying?"
Newt Scamander opened his mouth, stuttered and organized his words for a long time, and replied with an unnatural expression.
This sudden, direct confrontation scene was far too early compared to his original plan, and Fluffy's simping behavior completely disrupted Newt Scamander's arrangement, leaving him temporarily stunned.
Unlike ordinary magical creatures, Fluffy himself was created for wizarding wars.
If Eileen Kaslana was just a negligible little demon before, then from the moment Fluffy came to her side, she already possessed the power to confront most of the top wizards—and what made Newt Scamander feel most desperate was that it all seemed to be his own doing.
Albus Dumbledore is indeed a complete liar! A pit digger!
"Too bad, your expression and reaction have already answered the question..."
Eileen shrugged and put the pendant Grindelwald gave her back into her collar, and said pointedly in a low voice.
"It seems that even the most outstanding person recognized in the entire wizarding world will sometimes conceal some crucial truths because of certain selfish motives—communication is always the first step to friendship and understanding, you should agree with that, right?"
"Gr... um, I mean your grandfather, so, does he know you're here with me?"
Newt Scamander's lips moved, and he asked in a low voice with a hint of despair.
"Of course. My suitcase was packed with Grandpa's help."
Eileen narrowed her eyes and replied crisply.
Then, the girl glanced at Hannah and Luna, who were standing beside her, looking at her and Newt playing charades with confused expressions, and gave Newt Scamander a chillingly innocent smile, saying sweetly.
"Um... Dear Mr. Scamander... Now doesn't seem like a suitable occasion for catching up, does it? We can't just stand at the door and chat all the time, you're still going to take us on a tour of the underground animal park, right?"
"Don't call me Mr. Scamander, just call me Newt."
Newt Scamander shuddered and touched his nose awkwardly.
The whole thing was indeed full of strange places, and after thinking about it carefully, Newt also somewhat agreed with Eileen's suggestion of being honest with each other, sitting down together and clearly discussing the ins and outs.
Moreover, while the girls were taking a bath upstairs, Tina also told him some of the conversations between the little girls that she had "accidentally" overheard outside the bathroom door: [Understanding, learning, and protecting magical creatures is about finding the balance between humans and nature, guarding and recognizing this world]—Newt couldn't agree more with this point of view.
Of course, perhaps apart from this final point of view, he and this Miss Kaslana have many differences in the specific path.
But now it seems that since the ultimate goal of both parties is the same, then whether it is going their separate ways, or learning from each other's strengths... rather than guessing at each other in a secretive manner, it is better to debate each other directly, which is not so troublesome.
"You're right, this is not a suitable place for idle chat. Now that you have Fluffy accompanying you, the subsequent environment doesn't pose much danger to you, I'll take you on a tour and introduce you first."
"By the way, unless I agree, don't reach out and touch them—they are actually... um... very shy."
Since everything can no longer be changed, then you have to try to accept it.
So many years have passed, Newt Scamander's psychological endurance in this regard has been quite mature, even if it now seems that Albus Dumbledore has again and again and again and again... dug a big pit for him.
But anyway, he is already in the pit, instead of continuing to deny reality, it is better to start thinking about how to climb out as soon as possible.

…………

Without too much delay, Newt readjusted his mindset.
It has to be said that after putting aside the hidden dangers of Eileen Kaslana and others, it is indeed a pleasant thing to take three ignorant and lovely little witches to tour and visit the underground animal area full of natural atmosphere.
For Newt Scamander, introducing magical creatures to other wizards has always been a great pleasure in his life.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Newt Scamander, Eileen and the three girls, holding Little Lu Wei, walked down carefully along a wooden spiral staircase that seemed to grow automatically, with curious faces.
After a while, a huge magical animal world appeared before them.
The underground area was not as dark as imagined. After passing through a firefly lane dotted with stars, the girls almost thought they had left Newt Scamander's treehouse and came to another outdoor land.
The underground area transformed by magic seemed extraordinarily vast.
Countless intricate stairs and passages formed a natural system that almost covered all seasons, climates, and various natural environmental environments. Each vegetation area seemed to be an independent small space—sky, breeze, soil, water area... except that it looked a little smaller, there was no difference from the natural wilderness outside.
Several Augureys flew across the leisurely sky.
Undoubtedly, the sky here is not the magical mirror environment of the Hogwarts Great Hall, but a real, vast and immense space, here is a silhouette world of the real natural world.
"Eileen, don't you think this looks like the one under the school..."
Hannah Abbott stretched out her finger, curiously touching the plants on the roadside, her eyes constantly wandering between the dazzling vegetation environment and the distinctly different small spaces, she subconsciously slowed down and leaned closer to Eileen, saying softly.
Since stepping into this area, she had a feeling of returning to Hogwarts.
In a trance, Hannah even almost had the illusion that maybe she could take a shortcut directly back to the warm and comfortable dormitory to sleep. Everything, everything was so familiar, it was simply a second...
"That's right, this is based on Hufflepuff's underground city."
Before Eileen could answer, Newt Scamander, who was walking not far ahead, turned his head and explained with a smile.
"It's just that compared to the 'Helga's Underground City' built thousands of years ago, I have combined some new magical achievements and made improvements in some small details to make it more suitable for animals to live in, rather than simply planting plants..."
"Oh, don't move! They are very shy, you can't touch it directly with your hands!"
Newt suddenly stopped and looked at Luna, who was walking on the left side of the road, with some surprise, and said quickly.
At some point, Luna Lovegood had stopped, tilting her head slightly, looking at an ordinary shrub next to her in a daze, her fingers tentatively hovering on the edge of the shrub group, as if trying to touch something.
"It? There's nothing there?"
Following Newt's voice, Hannah blinked her eyes in confusion.
"Luna, what are you doing? Um... Eileen, do you see anything?"
"Look, there's a little lizard lying here, so cute!"
Luna lowered her voice and replied mysteriously, with a look of surprise on her face.
Eileen looked carefully at the position of Luna's finger, also shook her head in confusion, and subconsciously walked over.
"Lizard? Where's the lizard, it's just a bunch of ordinary..."
At this moment, a leaf originally attached to the edge of the shrub trembled in fear.
Then, a silver-green lizard about ten inches long shook its body and quickly climbed into the shrub group along the branches, and at a glance, it looked like a group of leaves was running towards the branches.
"...Don't be afraid, I'm not malicious! Don't run!"
Eileen's little face was slightly stunned, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand quickly, wanting to catch the little guy who didn't give her face.
Not to mention this clumsy little lizard, even a Golden Snitch, as long as she locked its position, she could catch it—in order to prevent the embarrassing situation of tail breakage and escape, Eileen specifically aimed at its body.
Whoosh—
The girl's fingers passed through the body of the silver-green lizard and grabbed empty.
The lizard shook all over, and its body, which was originally ten inches long, instantly shrank four or five times, as if it had been hit by a Shrinking Charm, and flexibly dodged Eileen's fingers and slipped into the dense shrub.
"A Chameleon, you can't catch it directly with your hands."
Newt Scamander said with a smile, looking at Eileen with a surprised face.
"These little guys are extremely sensitive to the aura of strangers and danger, so you must be slow and patient when approaching them, otherwise they will shrink and deform at the slightest disturbance and disappear without a trace."
As he spoke, Newt gently stretched out his left hand and placed it on the slightly swaying shrub.
In his palm, a small pinch of dark, constantly shaking, rough rice-like thing had appeared at some point.
About ten seconds later, a silver-green little head poked out from the shrub again. After hesitating for a few seconds, the Chameleon that had been scared away by Eileen just now cautiously climbed out and lay in Newt's palm, eating the pile of "snacks" in small bites.
"It's a very cute creature, right? But they are quite rare in the current wizarding world..."
Newt Scamander looked patiently at the little guy lying in his palm and said softly with a complex tone.
"Chameleon skin is highly valued among wizards. They are most suitable for making wallets and purses. Purses and wallets made of this multi-scale mixed material will automatically shrink when strangers approach—even Nifflers, or thieves in the wizarding world, will find it difficult to steal what is stored inside."
"Purse and wallet?"
Eileen nodded thoughtfully, slowly leaned over, squatted down and looked carefully at the silver-green little lizard stretching out its tongue. Unlike the dull gray skin of ordinary lizards, the scales of this Chameleon were particularly beautiful.
Bearing a jade brings guilt. The unique magical characteristics and this high-value appearance are indeed easy to be hunted.
"Every wizard will use a wallet, so the hunting of Chameleons in the wizarding world has never stopped—"
Newt Scamander shook his head with emotion and said in a complex tone.
Eileen raised her eyebrows and said with a relaxed smile.
"No buying, no killing. Just stop wizards from buying Chameleon purses..."
Newt shook his head and sighed subconsciously.
"You're thinking too simply. You can't let all wizards put Galleons in their pockets. There are too many spells that can steal your gold coins silently. Therefore, the purse made of Chameleon skin is the simplest and most popular personal item at present—and other than building a shelter for them, even I can't do much more."
"No, you may not have understood what I meant..."
Eileen's eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth curled into a meaningful arc.
"Times have changed, Mr. Scamander..."
"If the wizarding world no longer uses cash payment as the mainstream, then there is no need to carry Galleons with you. Changes in social systems and the innovation of the financial system will inadvertently affect many things—some ideas that once seemed like fantasy may suddenly and naturally have the opportunity to be completed at a certain moment."
Newt turned his head and looked at Eileen with a confused expression, unable to understand what this little guy was saying for a while.
Although he could understand every word, why was it so difficult to understand when they were put together?
