Chapter 267 What About Trust Between People?
It's true that the topic of magical animals and Hogwarts seems to have really aroused the interest of the Nungu Panther.
Especially when talking about Fluffy helping Dumbledore guard the Philosopher's Stone, the Nungu Panther even snorted disdainfully.
Although it didn't know what the Philosopher's Stone was, nor what a three-headed dog was, it didn't matter.
It was just to prevent others from entering that room, and it could definitely do better than that stupid dog with three heads.
At most, it would be better to put more poison... As long as the poison filled the entire castle, no one would be able to enter.
See, how simple it is.
While the Nungu Panther's attention was on Kyle, Newt came behind it and began to push and rub its belly.
After about ten minutes, the Nungu Panther shivered and stood up suddenly.
And under it, there was a little Nungu Panther wrapped in mucus.
As the little guy began to move, the mucus that wrapped it like an eggshell was quickly thrown to the side.
The Nungu Panther lowered its head and licked it affectionately with its tongue.
But maybe it was the first time, and he had no experience, so he used a little more strength, and the little guy's face was deformed by licking.
"Huh... Finally finished!" Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.
After talking for so long, his throat was about to smoke.
Kyle looked back at Fox, who was looking for the pint of tears he had reserved.
Needless to say, Fox slapped him back with a wing.
"Stingy..." Kyle muttered and stood up.
"Don't worry, it's not over yet."
Newt reminded: "There should be one more."
Kyle then noticed that the belly of the leopard was still bulging.
After about an hour, when the third leopard was born successfully, it was finally over.
Newt wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved in the direction not far away.
A larger leopard ran over quickly, holding a fat tebo warthog leg in its mouth.
"They are all healthy." Newt smiled and put the little guy in his hand aside, and then left quietly with Kyle.
Unlike the resistance on the way here, on the way back, Kyle would look back every few steps, his eyes full of reluctance.
"No, Kyle!"
"I know what you are thinking, absolutely not."
Newt said seriously: "I agree to you take Norbert to school because I believe you can restrain him and won't let him run out of the box.
But the little leopards are different. They can't control their own poison. This is too dangerous, not only for you, but also for everyone in the castle."
Others don't understand, but he doesn't understand?
Kyle's eyes just now were just like Sniff seeing the gold coins, the meaning was too obvious.
He definitely wanted to take a small one away!
"I, I know..." Kyle scratched his head, "I just thought about it, I didn't plan to do it."
Of course, he knew how dangerous the leopards were, so it was impossible to take them to school.
And the two big ones were right next to him, so he couldn't take them away even if he really wanted to.
Although he said so, Newt subconsciously quickened his pace, and it felt like he was carrying a time bomb on his body.
When the two walked out of the box, the sky was already slightly bright.
They had been busy all night.
Kyle was fine, he often stayed up late to go to the library, he was used to it.
But Newt, who was already 95 years old, was different. As soon as he walked out of the box, he showed obvious fatigue.
But his eyes were still bright.
"Sure enough, it was right to call you."
Newt closed the box and poured Kyle a cup of hot chocolate.
"Nundu leopards usually only give birth to one or two cubs. It is very rare for them to have three cubs in one litter."
"And this will cause a great burden to them, and even endanger their lives."
"Fortunately, you distracted its attention by the side, and the process was much smoother than I thought."
"No, no, I just talked for a while, and I didn't help that much." Kyle waved his hands repeatedly.
He was only thirteen years old, and he didn't want to be inexplicably labeled as a "childbirth helper".
But Newt just smiled and looked at him meaningfully.
"It's late, go to bed. By the way, you don't need to get up early to go to the station tomorrow. I'll take you back to Hogwarts. As for your luggage, Chris can take it there later."
"No, I've got all the luggage with me." Kyle said.
Before coming here, in order not to arouse Fox's suspicion, he deliberately mixed the box containing the diary with the luggage and put it in the box together.
Unexpectedly, it just saved a lot of trouble.
"That's just right." Newt nodded and left.
But after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, picked up the box on the ground and took it away.
The smile on Kyle's face disappeared in an instant.
This is too much... It makes him seem like he will run into the box in the middle of the night.
Really, trust between people!
Kyle pouted, put the hot chocolate back on the table, and went back to his room to sleep.
He has a separate room here, which was specially prepared by Newt and Tina.
...
Because he didn't have to catch the train, Kyle slept until noon the next day.
Tina had already prepared lunch, and the table was piled high with caramelized potato pancakes and steak.
"Are there any other people coming?" Kyle asked doubtfully.
The portion was too much, not to mention three people, thirty people couldn't finish it.
"No one is coming." Tina smiled and took out a box, "You like potato pancakes, these are for you to take to school."
"The steak is for the Nongdu leopard." Newt said, "She needs a lot of food to recover her strength now."
Kyle suddenly realized and sat down at the table.
Tina added several steaks to his plate, stacked together like a brick.
Kyle didn't refuse. He had only eaten one potato pancake from last night until now, and he was already hungry.
After dinner, Newt took him to deliver food to the Nongdu leopard family.
The poisonous fog that permeated the grassland had faded a lot, but it was still deadly.
Still on that stone... The three little guys seemed to remember them, and they were not afraid of strangers. They kept turning around at Kyle's feet and pulled his pants from time to time.
The two big ones nestled on the stone, eating the steak brought by Newt while lazily watching Kyle help them take care of the children.
It was not until the afternoon that Kyle felt that the train should be arriving at Hogwarts soon, and he reluctantly left here.
Norbert and the troll had been secretly transferred to his box with Fawkes on his back.
Dumbledore was indeed very reliable. Now the space in his box can be said to be endless, and I don’t know how many times larger it was than before.
Moreover, Dumbledore helped him complete some of the decoration work. The place where there were only a few trees originally became a lush forest, the lake was much larger, and there were two more hills next to it.
He even adjusted the climate. The area near the north of the lake was covered with a thick layer of ice and snow.
