After a short period of playing around, a tide of drowsiness washed over them.
Because of the Quidditch training during the day and staying up late to watch Pokémon, Luna, utterly exhausted, quickly turned into a puddle of goo, allowing Hermione to manipulate and tease her at will. Hannah, too, couldn't last long – the runic inscriptions were still quite taxing for her.
On the other hand, Hermione was also a bit sleepy. After briefly enjoying the fruits of her victory, she soon fell asleep.
Anyway, the days are long, and the month-long summer beach camp has only just begun...
The next day.
Early in the morning, Hermione woke up as usual.
Newt Scamander's house wasn't complicated, at least the parts outside the magical creature areas. For the most part, it retained the structural layout of a normal house, so Hermione wasn't worried about getting lost in the house alone.
Without disturbing the sweet dreams of the other two little lolis, Hermione quietly washed up and went downstairs.
However, to her surprise, the living room wasn't empty at this time.
Newt Scamander sat at the dining table, a pair of half-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, currently hunched over the table, scribbling and drawing, muttering to himself from time to time, his face bearing an obvious expression of fatigue and seriousness.
Hearing the movement coming from the stairs, Newt looked up and beckoned to her.
"Oh? You're awake? Miss Cassel."
Newt took off his glasses and gently pinched the area between his eyes. "Regarding several of your suggestions yesterday, I thought about them carefully after returning to my room and felt that there was indeed a lot of feasibility. However, there are still some doubts about some specific details."
His suggestions from yesterday? Which ones?
Hermione yawned in confusion and slowly walked over.
Scattered on the dining table were seven or eight sheets of parchment, each filled with messy writing, and beside the parchment were four or five manuscript booklets that seemed to be quite old, with more fragments of sentences.
And from the bottle of ink placed on Newt's right hand side, and the still-wet parchment beside him, it seemed that a good portion of the parchment on the table might be content that Newt had just written not long ago. Hermione casually glanced at it and was able to discern a few keywords from the messy handwriting.
For example, Magical Creature Association, Image Illustrated Book, Fantasticbeastball…
In addition, Hermione vaguely saw construction diagrams of "Poké Balls" in the sketches on the table, as well as similar patterns to the first-generation "Pokédex" held by Ash Ketchum in the Pokémon anime.
"This, these..." Hermione looked at Newt Scamander in surprise.
It was just a low-age animation from the non-magical world. Even if it did overlap with the current field of magical creatures in some aspects, the degree of attention that Newt Scamander showed was still far beyond her imagination.
It had only been less than one night!
Moreover, judging from Newt's expression, the content in front of him was obviously not all of it.
After briefly flipping through the stack of thick parchment on the table, the girl looked up at the old wizard's tired face.
"Wait! You didn't write all of this throughout the whole night, did you?"
"Well, it's not that exaggerated... I did sleep for an hour or two."
Looking at the surprised expression in Hermione's eyes, Newt waved his hand dismissively and explained with a smile.
"I'm getting old. I don't have as much sleep as you young people, especially when I have some ideas that I can't put down. I simply can't fall asleep, so I just got up and tried to organize what you said..."
"Mr. Scamander! Isn't this too..."
Hermione frowned slightly. This fanatical attitude made her a little worried.
"Don't worry, I'm a wizard. It's okay to stay up late occasionally."
Seeming to have anticipated what the girl was about to say, Newt very skillfully answered in advance, motioned for the girl to sit over, and tidied up several sheets of parchment and manuscript booklets on the table, pushing them all to the girl's side, and said with a bit of emotion.
"Regarding the 【Magical Creature Association】 you mentioned yesterday, I now understand it a little bit. Although *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them* is a detailed compilation of information, the limitations of written books are still too great—"
"At least when I was in school, everyone preferred to cast spells rather than read books and memorize books."
Newt shrugged helplessly and continued, "Using Transfiguration, Lumos, and Sonorus to create 'magic books' is indeed a very interesting idea. If this book can be transformed from a simple teaching book into an 'illustrated book,' then whether it is in the popularization of magical creature knowledge or in terms of practicality, it should be a remarkable innovation!"
Adding magic to books is not a new thing in the magical world.
For example, *The Monster Book of Monsters*, *The Invisible Book of Invisibility*, *The Wizard's Sonnets*...
However, most of these books only have one or two spells cast on them. According to the effect of the "Pokédex" that Hermione showed in the anime yesterday, the new version of *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them* is not so much a multifunctional magic book as it is a finely crafted magical item.
More importantly, this "Magical Creature Illustrated Book" itself also has the function of collecting and recording magical creatures.
After decades of magical creature research, Newt increasingly realized the limitations of individuals. Compared to the vast and boundless world, it was too difficult and slow to rely on only a few magical creature enthusiasts to explore.
"If it's just a simple search function, I can figure out how to organize it. After all, I have accumulated a lot of information about magical creatures over the years, but scanning, recording, exchanging... and even illustrated book rewards, I can't do it."
Newt paused slightly and said hesitantly.
Without a doubt, Hermione, as the Goblin Queen, probably wouldn't be short of money.
And if you consider the group of old wizards standing behind the girl, then as long as the research and development difficulties of the first "experimental machine" are solved, she should also be able to gather a considerable number of powerful wizards in terms of manpower.
However, this does not mean that Hermione would be willing to contribute her strength for free to do such a thing.
That was the Black Lord in his childhood, the Goblin Queen who ruled Gringotts. After such a short period of contact, Newt could feel Hermione's effortless grasp of the scale in the economic and interest fields.
Taking a look at the hesitant expression on Newt's face, Hermione thought for a moment and quickly understood the old wizard's concerns.
This was normal, after all, the two were not that familiar yet.
When they spent more time together, perhaps Newt Scamander would slowly understand that as a good child who grew up under the tutelage of two top black and white lords, the needs she heard were mostly the result of her guidance.
"You don't need to worry. Hogwarts has the most professional research team. And Gringotts Wizarding Bank is an eternal friend and supporter of the magical world. This kind of public welfare undertaking that benefits the whole world is itself worth devoting everything to."
Hermione sorted through the manuscripts in her hand, twitched her ears, and said softly with a smile.
"In the next month, we can have a good discussion about the follow-up matters... The most important thing for you now is to rest well and take your body seriously. Mr. Scamander, before you have rested well, I won't discuss either the new episode of the animation or the content about magical creatures with you—"
At the same time, standing on the side of the stairs, Tina Scamander, who was originally full of anger, nodded secretly.
This child is such a considerate and gentle child...
