Hogwarts: I, Tom, am not the Dark Lord

In his confusion, the more magical animals he released, the more they became available to him.

The two continued walking forward, and a few more jumping moon beasts emerged from the sycamore bushes. They saw Newt and wanted to get closer, but when they saw the stranger Tom, they retreated and hid timidly under the tree, only showing their heads and eyes bigger than copper bells to look at them.

"The Moon Crazy Beast is a bit timid, don't mind it."

"I understand that there is also a group of moon-crazed beasts in the Forbidden Forest. Apart from Hagrid and Professor Sprout, it is difficult for others to approach them."

The two of them stopped and walked along the way, and the perceptive Newt noticed something strange.

It's okay that the shy magical animals avoid Tom, but it's a bit abnormal that those carefree ones, such as the tree monkey frog, the crup, and the sniff also avoid him.

Newt looked at the boy who was enjoying the beautiful scenery, sniffed lightly, and looked surprised.

"The smell of a fire dragon?!"

Now it was Tom's turn to be surprised. "You can even smell that? Uncle Newt, are you sure you're not some magical creature?"

His dragon power has been hidden very well. Except for animals with particularly keen intuition, it is impossible for humans to sense it. But Newt actually discovered it, and with his nose?

"Of course I'm not a magical creature," Newt waved his hand quickly. "I'm just more sensitive to animal scents... But even if you've been in contact with dragons, why do you still smell like one?"

"Well... the reason is related to why I came to see you." Tom frankly stated that he had a request for help. "I'll explain the details to you later."

"No problem, I'll do my best to help."

Without even asking anything, Newt agreed decisively.

He didn't even consider that Tom might make some dark and sinister request, because it was impossible for Newt to speculate such dark thoughts about a teenager.

"correct!"

Tom suddenly slapped his head and said he had forgotten something and just remembered it now.

Six credits, deducted.

Study space, open.

Discovering that Grindelwald was using the meditation room, Tom directly used his authority to teleport him out. Grindelwald, who was still immersed in his thoughts, was confused when suddenly the outside world appeared, and then he saw the old man standing in front of Tom with a shy smile.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for decades, Grindelwald recognized the old man's identity.

"Scamander, I'll fuck you!"

Chapter 118: Straight Confession, Tom's Dirty Plan

The cursing continued in the space for a long time, and even Andros was startled. He stared at Grindelwald in amazement as he pointed and cursed at the outside world.

In his eyes, Grindelwald was always a very traditional academic wizard, well-mannered and elegant. Even though he was a dark wizard, he had a unique charm.

But today's Grindelwald reminded him of those shrews in the Greek countryside who quarreled over a piece of fish.

“Study space, block out the noise.”

Tom smiled, quieting his ears, and continued to stroll around the garden with Newt.

But he didn't close the perspective, and Grindelwald didn't leave on his own initiative. He just stared at Newt and scolded him, so anxious that he even spoke in his native language. This opened Andros's eyes and he learned a lot of new words.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. The space outside is limited after all. The real big thing is still in the suitcase that makes the magic ministries of countless countries shudder.

To be honest, there is no need to say much about Voldemort's reputation in Britain. Even Grindelwald cannot compare with him.

But in terms of world reputation, he was at best a rookie, and at most he had a small reputation, because Dumbledore kept him in Britain, and Voldemort was also crazy and refused to cause trouble outside until he killed Dumbledore.

And what about Newt?

British wizards highly respect him because it is their pride, so it is a good name.

But in many countries, Newt's world reputation has reached the top! On the same level as Dumbledore and Grindelwald!

When Tom was doing research, he discovered that many countries' Ministry of Magic laws, including Article 267, also contained a provision: Mr. Newt Scamander is welcome to visit our country, but if he is found carrying a suitcase, he will be immediately fined the maximum amount and deported.

As for being thrown into the local wizard prison?

Sorry, go talk to that box of magical creatures whose level and number are unknown but are definitely extremely terrifying.

Although he wanted to laugh, Tom also understood why these countries had such outrageous laws.

Who would want such a weapon of mass destruction to be taken to their country by an individual, even if that individual is the most reputable Newt Scamander?

What's more, the damage Newt sometimes causes to protect magical creatures is beyond the reach of most dark wizards.

Am I right?

new York.

Behind every outrageous law or regulation there is an equally bizarre past. Tom is very curious about what the Ministries of Magic of those countries that have enacted similar laws have experienced before issuing such decrees.

When they get closer, he will definitely ask Newt.

To Tom's regret, after visiting the garden, Newt took him into the villa and didn't seem to have any intention of taking him to the box.

The two sat down in the living room, and Tom looked speechlessly at Newt, who was about four or five meters away from him.

Just now when they were walking, they both kept a minimum distance of five meters. How come this social anxiety problem becomes more serious as he gets older?

"Tom, I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay, Master Newt, I understand. Dumbledore told me a lot about you." Tom didn't let him continue.

Newt nodded gratefully, then asked, "Tell me about the problem you're facing first. Since you've come to me, it should be related to magical creatures."

"That's right, Master Newt."

Tom released some of his dragon power, and suddenly many small animals cried out in panic outside the window. Newt also had an intuitive feeling and looked at Tom in astonishment.

"A bloodline wizard...or a bloodline wizard with the bloodline of a fire dragon."

"Yes, I killed a dragon at Christmas time," Tom said honestly. "The one that escaped from the dragon farm in Romania."

"So it's you...huh?" Newt said halfway before reacting and looked at the boy with an incredible look.

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

That's a fire dragon. You've only been in school for one semester at Christmas, and you dare to kill a fire dragon?

Are all the young wizards at Hogwarts so wild now?

Tom smiled shyly. "I have some talent and a good teacher, so I'm progressing a bit faster. It's understandable, isn't it?"

"But...I understand." Newt nodded numbly.

Tom continued, "If you think that my killing of the dragon goes against your philosophy of protecting magical creatures, then I won't bother you with the rest of the matter."

He is a direct person, and people with Newt's personality also like to be direct, so he just laid everything out.

If Newt feels he cannot accept it, then he can leave now and go to the Thunderbird Sanctuary by himself. However, he needs to avoid the wizards there and be careful in his actions.

Newt shook his head. "That dragon had already escaped the reserve and was a threat to the outside world. It couldn't be blamed on anyone else for being killed. It's not the same thing as poachers going into a reserve and hunting magical animals in a stable ecological environment."

The old man smiled and made a rare joke: "After all, I am a human being, so I have to stand on the side of humans. My dream is to find the perfect balance between humans and magical animals."

"That's fine."

Tom was relieved, “I’m sure you can guess that my fire dragon bloodline is related to the fire dragon I slaughtered.

Newt nodded, he had guessed it.

"Actually, I have a talent that allows me to improve my magical talent in all aspects through various challenges."

"The fire dragon is, and so is the unicorn."

Newt waved his hands in fear after hearing this, and then said earnestly: "Tom, a wizard's talent is their most core secret. Don't tell others so casually. You have just entered the wizarding world and don't know the treacherous nature of human nature."

"That's someone else." Tom waved his hand. "Uncle Newt, can you be the same as others? I didn't even tell our headmaster or Dumbledore about this talent. I told you this because I trust you and I need your help."

Newt felt even more embarrassed by Tom's straightforwardness, but at the same time, he was also touched. He nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, Tom. I won't tell your secret to anyone, not even to the magical creatures."

The metaphor is a little funny, but if Newt said it, it would be quite effective.

Grindelwald in the space was watching with gritted teeth. This kid Tom had grasped Scamander's character perfectly.

Didn't Dumbledore trust Scamander so much back then that Newt tried his best to help him make trouble for himself?

Stupid Scamander, don't you see this guy is trying to trick you?!

Grindelwald was so angry that he almost laughed.

He originally thought that Tom was very similar to himself, doing things in an organized way and having a domineering character in his bones. Now he realized that Tom was like Dumbledore.

Just as insidious!

"Uncle Newt, I came to the United States this time to find the Thunderbird." Tom didn't know that Grindelwald was madly criticizing him at this time, but he brought the topic back on track.

"Thunderbird..." Newt looked embarrassed. He thought Tom wanted to kill Thunderbird.

Thunderbirds are different from fire dragons. As long as you don't provoke thunderbirds, they are actually not harmful to humans. Unlike fire dragons, when they want to vent, they will find a human village and spit fire. Every year, those countries that raise dragons will spend a lot of manpower and material resources to deal with the aftermath.

Newt's face was full of rejection. Tom understood what he was thinking and explained, "Uncle Newt, I don't need to kill or hurt the Thunderbird. I just need to beat it in terms of speed."

"Is that so..." The old man let out a long sigh of relief, and his expression relaxed.

However, after Tom said that he wanted to compete with the Thunderbird in flying speed, his face became troubled again, this time because he was worried about Tom.

How fast did he know the Thunderbird? Even the fastest broomstick couldn't keep up with it at full speed.

But Tom came up with a solution that made his... eyelids twitch.

"Here's what I think. If I can't fly over the big one, can't I bully the small one?"

"If you can help me find a newly born ptarmigan, or a chick that can barely fly a hundred kilometers, I'll compete with them."

Not only was Newt dumbfounded, but even Grindelwald and Andros had their mouths twitching.

Sorry Dumbledore, I take it back. This guy is not like you or me. He is more shameless than the two of us combined...

Comparing flying with a newly born bird... How can you say such a thing... 0

Tom doesn't care about that. As long as it doesn't hinder his mission progress, he would be happy to compete with an egg.

The reason for looking for Newt is because Newt had previously rescued a thunderbird and facilitated the establishment of the Arizona Reserve, which gave him a lot of face among the thunderbirds.

You have to know that thunderbirds, like fire dragons, attach great importance to their cubs and eggs. If he tries to steal them, he will definitely attract a group of thunderbirds to chase him.
