Chapter 683 Pit! A lot of pits!(1/2)
Newt was originally planning to ask something.
But with the appearance of Tina Scamander, he could only temporarily suppress the problem and start thinking about another extremely important issue at the moment - how to explain his behavior of staying up late and how to calm his wife's anger.
"Good morning, my dear, did you have a good rest last night?"
Mrs. Scamander slowly walked down the stairs, first nodded to Elena and said hello, then turned her head to look at Newt Scamander who was restless at the dining table, showed a faint smile, and whispered softly
said.
"Newt, you've been up all night, it's time for you to go get some rest. After I finish making breakfast and send the kids to the Quidditch pitch, I think we may need to have a serious family meeting to discuss some
matter."
As people who have lived together for most of their lives, Tina understands Newt's character very well.
Even though Newt Scamander is usually in a daze and lacks motivation to do anything, as long as it involves the research of magical animals, especially some new fields that he has never been exposed to, Newt is completely
A changed person.
After so many years, Tina has said this countless times, but unfortunately the reply she received every time was that she would do it next time.
"Um, um, Tina. How about... give me another ten minutes?"
After glancing at his wife, who looked slightly gloomy, Newt thought for a while and then spoke tentatively.
"I still have some ideas that I haven't finished writing. I'll go there when I finish..."
"Newt, you are not what you were decades ago!"
Tina Scamander narrowed her eyes and interrupted angrily, "Put down the pen and go upstairs to sleep! Now! Immediately! Don't make me chant a spell on you, and... leave these manuscript papers down there.
, I’ll just clean it up later!”
"But……"
"Um?"
"Uh...I said yes! I'm going to go upstairs to rest!"
Newt wisely did not continue to struggle, stood up and left the dining table, and walked upstairs, looking back three times.
After her husband left, Tina turned to look at Elena, spreading her hands helplessly and angrily.
"I'm sorry, Newt hasn't been pestering you to talk about magical animals, has he? After so many years, he has always had this character. As long as he encounters something he is interested in, he can often be so excited that he can stay up all night.
"
"Mr. Scamander is really admirable for not forgetting his original intention!"
Elena shrugged, smiled and said, "Now I finally understand why Senior Newt can do so many great things... Well, Mrs. Scamander, are we causing you any trouble?"
ah?"
"Trouble?" Tina smiled and shook her head, "You are so cute, how can you be trouble!"
Although Elena's arrival may indeed add a lot of work to Newt, and the girl's background is not that simple, Tina Scamander is still quite happy at the moment. She has not seen a child as excited as a child in a long time.
husband.
After tidying up the scattered manuscripts and parchments on the table, Mrs. Scamander continued.
"By the way, I won't be training with you on the Quidditch field today. You will tell me later what you want to eat for lunch and dinner, and I will go to the nearby market to see if I can buy it... Your summer homework
Is it all done?"
"Eh? Summer homework?! What summer homework?"
Elena was slightly startled, when did Hogwarts have such a thing?
Wait! It can’t be...
The little mixed-race Veela turned her head alertly, her eyes quickly swept around the living room, and soon she found a large pile of unopened packages next to the utility rack by the door. There was a very special word printed on the top of the package.
Familiar blue and white wing pattern.
Nail, Nail?!
No, isn't this a summer gift she sent to other students?
She probably didn’t send it to herself! Why did she suddenly appear in Newt Scamander’s living room?!
"Oh, this should be sent by Professor Dumbledore through the fireplace..."
Tina Scamander picked up an opened letter on the table, shook it towards Elena, and said in a relaxed tone.
"Look, enclosed with the letter are your tickets for platform 9 to Hogwarts this semester."
Tina Scamander glanced at the contents of the letter and said wistfully, "Don't worry, although Newt and I have been away from school for many years, we still have some basic knowledge and can still learn.
To tutor you..."
"...That's really, really happy."
Elena twitched the corners of her mouth, trying hard to force out a happy smile.
Fortunately, she had an idea last night and eliminated Newt Scamander in advance. Otherwise, according to the series of courses arranged by Spicy Old Carrot, she might not have much energy to make a splash in the magical world.
Already.
But now...
Elena glanced at the piles of parchment that Newt had stayed up late to sort out, and she felt a little better.
The pursuit of ideals and the love of self-realization are sources of motivation that are countless times more powerful than coercion and inducement. As long as you keep setting new goals, Newt Scamander will naturally figure out the rest.
solve.
Although Albus Dumbledore is at the top of the wizarding world, he also holds many important social identities.
However, apart from his status as the headmaster of Hogwarts and the chief magician of the Wizengamot Wizarding Court, and leaving the local scope of the British wizarding world, the old wizard's worldwide influence is so unchallenged.
On the other hand, although Newt Scamander has retired for many years, his status in the field of magical animals is much more stable than Dumbledore's status in the wizarding world - if Newt himself
When it comes to presiding over work, as long as no specific stakes are involved, most wizards will choose to sell Newt off to save face.
Not to mention, Dumbledore himself was there to help fuel the incident from the very beginning.
She was a little curious. When Newt Scamander was really kidnapped back to Hogwarts, and Old Freckles and Old Potato met and had a conflict, which side did Dumbledore choose to stand this time?
.
Anyway, she is very skilled at this kind of thing!
Thinking of this, Elena instantly felt better. It would not be easy for everyone anyway. The best she could do was to do a few more homeworks. The words she wrote now would all become Dumbledore's heart and headache.
prescription form.
He turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Scamander, who had put on an apron and was about to prepare breakfast.
"Mrs. Scamander, I'm here to help too!"
Elena walked over briskly and took the initiative to pick up the dinner plate and the eggs, bacon, and bread slices that were placed aside. She planned to show off her cooking skills as promised. As for what to eat for dinner, she had already thought about it.
alright--
Today’s main ingredient is pork!
Maybe a month later Newt still can't get over that hurdle in his heart, but that doesn't matter, anyway, he is not the one in charge of the Scamander house. Mrs. Scamander will definitely show a strong performance after learning the new recipe.

Any impregnable castle is often captured from within.
…………
Half an hour later.
Jurassic Quidditch Pitch Entrance.
Elena, Luna, and Hannah are saying goodbye to Tina Scamander.
"Then, children, I won't accompany you in this time."
Tina Scamander stopped in front of the stadium entrance, looked at the three little girls in front of her and said.
Starting from today, Tina will no longer accompany them to train on the Quidditch field. Except for the morning and evening pick-up and drop-off, the rest of the time will be arranged by the team's head coach Brendan Dunn.
As for lunch, I naturally eat a standard sports meal along with other members of the team.
"Well, thank you, Mrs. Scamander. By the way—"
Elena nodded politely, then remembered something and said seriously with her hands clasped together.
"You must wait until we come back to make dinner. It was agreed before that we will participate in breakfast and dinner every day. This is the only place that can help you and Mr. Scamander.
please."
"Okay, okay, I understand, I know you like cooking..."
Mrs. Scamander shook her head helplessly and replied with a smile.
Although she has not seen or tasted the dishes cooked by Elena, the details in the kitchen this morning were enough for Tina Scamander to feel part of the power of the 'Hogwarts Kitchen Chef'
