My partner at Hogwarts is Tom

"Furthermore, magical creatures are not static. Due to changes in the world's environment and other factors, new beings, both ordinary animals and magical creatures, will constantly emerge."

"So perhaps these magical creatures you're talking about, which I've never seen or heard of, are the newest magical creatures you've ever discovered."

Upon hearing Viktor's words, Luna's disappointment vanished completely.

Ginny, standing nearby, excitedly hugged Luna's arm.

"Luna, you might have discovered new magical creatures!"

Clearly, Ginny was always skeptical of the strange and magical creatures that Luna, her childhood friend, kept talking about—creatures that no one else could see except Luna herself.

And now he has gained the approval of Victor, the master of magical creatures, and the school professors.

That's when he became convinced that the magical creatures his childhood friend had described, which no one else could see, might actually exist.

Seeing the two first-year witches' excited expressions, Victor smiled and then pulled Tom to sit by the lake, addressing the two little witches.

"Since we're on the topic, let me tell you about these little creatures that are magical even among magical animals. I'll tell you stories of wizards and special magical animals that have been recorded in wizarding history."

Upon hearing Viktor's invitation, Ginny and Luna eagerly sat down next to him.

Then, instinctively, he took the leg of an arthropod, about the thickness of an adult's forearm and looking charred and blackened, that Victor handed him.

Looking at the leg in her hand, which emitted an enticing aroma but whose origin was unclear, Ginny hesitated for a moment before asking Victor.

"Professor Victor, what is this?"

Looking at Luna, who was already enjoying her meal, next to her.

And Ginny, who also tried to tear off a small piece and stuff it into her mouth.

After swallowing the eight-eyed giant spider leg in his mouth, Victor hesitated for a moment and said...

"Um, this is a Scottish soft-shell land crab leg, it tastes pretty good."

When Victor said that it was a type of crab leg they had never heard of before, the two little witches ate even more happily.

Watching the two little witches discussing the taste and texture of this unknown land crab leg.

Victor decided in his heart, "From now on, the eight-eyed giant spider's nickname will be the Scottish softshell land crab."

It seems like it's time to update the content of "Fantastic Beasts in the Stomach" sometime.

Creatures like the eight-eyed giant spider would be perfect for appearing in "Fantastic Beasts in the Stomach".

He finished eating the last spider leg—no, it was crab leg meat.

Meeting the curious gazes of the two little witches, Victor cleared his throat and began to speak.

"I heard this story when I was traveling in Greece. It is said to be an ancient story that happened more than a thousand years ago."

"And it is said that there is a magical item called the Time Converter, which was developed by the wizard in this story."

Upon hearing the name "Time Converter," the two little witches listened even more attentively.

After all, the Time Converter sounds like a very powerful item.

"A thousand years ago, there was a powerful Greek wizard. It is said that his power was unmatched at the time. In order to show his uniqueness, he chose to study a field that no wizard had ever explored before, namely, time."

"In order to truly feel the existence of time, after conducting countless studies and careful selection, he chose the sand and gravel on the beaches around the Aegean Sea, which have witnessed countless histories and are composed of rocks turned into gravel, as his medium."

"So in order to select those grains of sand that had truly witnessed history, he carefully selected each grain of sand on the beaches of the Aegean Sea, just to ensure that he found those that had truly witnessed history, those that had transformed from rocks into grains of sand."

"And this selection process was incredibly long. After more than a decade of selection, he had only found a few thousand suitable grains of sand."

"However, although the powerful wizard was somewhat annoyed by this, he remained very patient, after all, what he was going to study was an existence of time that wizards had almost never touched upon."

"And on another day when he was picking sand, he encountered a small, strange snake on the beach that kept chasing its own tail."

"And the powerful wizard paid no attention to the strange snake that kept circling around its own tail."

"Because in his perception, it was just an ordinary little snake without any magic, so he casually kicked it away."

"And the moment he kicked away that unremarkable snake, the powerful wizard felt a tingling sensation in his buttocks."

"After some examination, the powerful wizard discovered a small, old snake bite scar on his buttocks."

"And the moment he saw the tooth mark, the powerful wizard was confronted with the strange snake he had kicked away."

"However, when he turned back to look for it again, no matter what magic he used, he could no longer find the strange snake that he had kicked away."

"He tried countless methods to remove the tooth mark, but to no avail. Thus, the powerful wizard could find no reason for it and could only keep it to himself."

"After decades of selection, he finally collected 30,000 grains of sand and used his powerful magic to create an alchemical item called the Hourglass of Time."

"This alchemical artifact, called the Hourglass of Time, can be turned upside down, allowing the user to travel back in time and return to a point in time they wish to go."

"So after confirmation and experimentation, the powerful wizard couldn't wait to use the alchemical artifact he had created."

"And in that moment when he went back in time through the hourglass, he vaguely saw a strange snake chasing its own tail in the crack of time."

"At the same time, the strange snake also saw it, and then the powerful wizard felt a sharp pain in his buttocks. When he turned around, he saw the strange snake on his buttocks."

"Then, the powerful wizard grabbed the strange snake that was biting his buttocks and asked it why it had bitten him."

"And the strange snake was telling this powerful wizard that because he kicked him, he had to go back in time to bite him in revenge, even if the price was that he would disappear into the river of time."
