Hogwarts Crawler.

But from what Adam has felt so far, Amon can balance the boundaries between reality and spirituality better than Luna, so although he is a little peculiar, at least he doesn't look as...eccentric as Luna.

Cologne was stunned: "Inspiration... So he really can tell fortunes?"

He had always regarded the upright chariot as a joke and a blessing.

"I can't actually guarantee that he won't, but at least when he told fortunes to me before, he mainly used magic techniques."

People who can tell fortunes must have strong inspiration, but people with strong inspiration may not necessarily be able to tell fortunes.

They didn't talk for too long about Adam's friendship with Ravenclaw. Professor Trelawney began her teaching after some mysterious opening remarks. The few people who didn't think they could learn it listened while eating four-fruit soup. The class was quite pleasant.

At lunch, the entire third year Hufflepuff class began to get excited.

In the afternoon, their senior Newt will give them lessons!

"Adam, do you know what Senior Newt will teach us this afternoon?"

As a teaching assistant, Adam was naturally targeted by his classmates early on, especially Cologne and Eugene, who were waiting for Adam to come back from Newt's office to reveal some of the information to them in advance.

If I can be well prepared before class, I will definitely leave a good impression on Senior Newt, oh no, Professor Scamander.

"Forehead……"

Adam, who had indeed learned about the contents of the afternoon class in advance, pondered for a while and said:

"After all, this is the first class, so don't have too high expectations."

"what?"

Cologne and Eugene looked at each other, wondering why Adam said that.

Could it be that the lesson that Professor Scamander was going to give them was just a textbook and actually boring?

That's impossible. Senior Newt is not that kind of person!

Adam did not explain much to the two people's doubts. They would know the specific situation in the afternoon.

……

Although what Adam said at noon was a bit subtle, Colon and Eugene couldn't help but get excited when they actually saw Professor Scamander outside the Forbidden Forest.

"Hello everyone, I am your new professor this year... Let's start the class."

The very dry opening remarks did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm at all. Newt breathed a sigh of relief and did the same action as in the previous classes and when preparing for the class - he took out a cage covered with cloth, and then removed the black cloth on the cage.

"This is a cub of a scorpion tail beast..."

As Professor Scamander spoke, he stretched out his hand to tease the little creature in the cage. When the little creature raised its pliers, he quickly pulled his hand back and smiled at everyone:

“It’s cute, isn’t it?”

Seeing the bright red little creature in the cage, the students all nodded, except for a few young wizards who were very familiar with the situation of the scorpion-tailed beasts who had strange expressions on their faces.

The Scorpion Tailed Beast, whose full name is the Sphinx Manticore, is classified as a beast by the Ministry of Magic. The danger level given by the Department for the Control of Magical Creatures is XXXXX - the same level as dragons, eight-eyed giant spiders and basilisks.

Their young are indeed about the size of an adult's palm, but they are carnivorous and often appear in groups. Scorpion tails live alone after they grow up. With a body size of over 100 meters, a large number of flexible limbs, and several tails that can spit fireballs and are as long as their bodies, they have no natural enemies in the natural environment.

Even a dragon would not include such a powerful creature that is not much less dangerous than itself in its diet!

Putting down the cage, Professor Scamander began to tell everyone about the Scorpion Tailed Beast in great detail, even including his own experience:

"I once saw an adult scorpion tail beast in Germany. My family and I almost died at that time. Thanks to some special means, we escaped..."

He took a piece of raw meat from Adam and put it outside the cage. The little scorpion-tailed beast quickly stretched out its pincers to pick up the meat, then used its mouthparts to quickly tear the meat into strips and ate it all.

"As you can see, even as a cub, the Scorpion Tailed Beast is still quite aggressive and lethal, and such magical animals are not uncommon in nature."

Professor Scamander looked at everyone solemnly and said:

“So, when you encounter dangerous magical animals in the wild, how to protect yourself becomes a very important topic.”

"I believe that students who choose this course all have a love for these spirits of nature in their hearts. Perhaps you think that the course on protecting magical creatures should teach you how to take care of magical creatures, but as a magical creature expert..."

Professor Scamander blushed at this self-proclaimed title, but he continued:

"I must warn everyone that the prerequisite for protecting magical animals is that you must be able to protect yourself at the same time. At the same time, blind love without any professional knowledge will not protect magical animals, but may cause them greater harm... This is all from my experience!"

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"So, Professor Scamander, are we going to have Charms this class?"

The speaker was a Ravenclaw, whom Adam remembered was named Michael Corner.

Such an impolite remark naturally attracted a few unfriendly looks, but Professor Scamander shook his head indifferently:

"Oh! Of course not. That's Professor Flitwick's job, isn't it? What I'm going to teach you is how to use the knowledge of magical animals to make magical animals give up their hostility towards you and make them feel your kindness."

Professor Scamander stretched out his hand, and Adam cooperated very well and handed over his textbook. Professor Scamander held the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and said:

"I believe that you have all read my humble work to some extent."

The little wizards below couldn't help but laugh.

Although he had seen this scene more than once, Professor Scamander couldn't help but wonder what was so funny about his words?

Adam reached out and pressed the corner of his mouth.

Originally, this sentence was not funny, but their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor last year also liked to say this. I wonder how he is getting along with the Dementors now.

Unlike Lockhart, Newt is truly talented. "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", published by the Ministry of Magic, is almost the most authoritative popular science book on magical animals in the wizarding world - worldwide. It details the habits, habitats, and care methods of 75 kinds of magical animals.

The textbook for Hogwarts' Care of Magical Creatures class has not changed since the first edition of this book was published - the latest edition is "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

"Based on the content in this book, I will teach you how to approach these lovely and magical animals safely from the perspective of their habits."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and then they saw Professor Scamander raised his hands:

"Come on, let's imagine ourselves as a scorpion tail beast..."

Chapter 103 Dance of the Scorpion Tailed Beast

"Yeah...that's right...twist it!"

"Professor Scamander, I have no intention of questioning you, but..."

After twisting their buttocks for a few minutes with their hands raised, one student finally couldn't help it:

"Will dancing like this really make the manticores think we are one of their kind and let down their guard against us?"

Obviously, this was another Ravenclaw, but this time, perhaps because of the wording, or because other students had similar ideas, he did not attract everyone's hostility.

"Of course, look at me."

Professor Scamander took out the cage that had been covered with cloth again and lifted the cloth. The scorpion tail beast inside waved its pincers uncomfortably when it saw the sunlight again.

Professor Scamander put down the cage, raised his hands, and struck the posture he had just taught the students. Then the students saw that the scorpion-tailed beast also raised its pincers, and as Professor Scamander danced, the scorpion-tailed beast also swayed from side to side.

“It actually works…”

The Ravenclaw was speechless. Well, he shouldn't have doubted Professor Scamander, but...

"But why doesn't Adam have to learn this dance!"

"good question!"

Professor Scamander clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then waved to Adam:

"Come here, Adam."

Adam walked to the front of the cage and stretched out his hand toward the manticore in the cage.

Just when everyone couldn't help but exclaim, the scorpion-tailed beast not only did not launch an attack, but instead took a few steps back. Then it hesitated for a moment, walked forward again, stretched out its pincers and placed them on Adam's index finger.

"Did you see that? I have to say that there are people in this world who have talents beyond ordinary people's imagination. For example, they are more likely to be welcomed by magical animals than others."

Professor Scamander sighed, and he couldn't help but feel envious when he said this.

"I think it's more likely that it saw the souls of its fellow creatures being fried and deep-fried around Adam, and didn't dare to attack Adam."

Although he didn't know why Adam was so popular with magical creatures, Cologne couldn't help but complain in a low voice, and then couldn't help swallowing.

How should I put it... As both are arthropods, the meat of the Acromanthus Scorpio is tighter and has a lower fat content than that of the Acromanthus Scorpio. It is not as rich in flavor but is better in taste.

The most important thing is that the adult Scorpion Tailed Monster is much larger than the Acromanthus, has more legs than the Acromanthus, and has pincers!

After seeing with their own eyes that Adam did not need to learn this knowledge, the young wizards could only suppress their complex emotions, raised their hands and twisted their hips to start practicing dancing. Fortunately, people around them were dancing together, which alleviated the embarrassment a little.

The Manticore Dance wasn't too difficult. The main thing was to get the angle and frequency of the hip swaying right. After Professor Scamander had taught for a while, there was no need to watch him any more. Adam took this opportunity to approach and ask:

"Professor Scamander, how are you doing with the creature I showed you earlier?"

Adam was talking about the jackal head brought back from Egypt. Adam was really curious about what it was. If he didn't have a little conscience in his heart, Adam would have used double cards to copy one and dissect it.

"Uh, good question!"

Thinking back to that strange creature, Newt couldn't help but frown:

"From the appearance, it, or he, obviously has a lot of similarities with humans...Oh, thank you."

Professor Scamander took the brown sugar milk from Adam and scooped a spoonful into his mouth with a wooden spoon. The hot milk mixed with brown sugar and pearls made him feel happy:

"Being able to speak Egyptian fluently shows that he has intelligence comparable to that of a human. Therefore, after preliminary analysis, I think he is somewhat like a werewolf-like creature unique to Egypt."

"Werewolf-like creature..."

Adam frowned.

"So if you get bit by him, you'll also turn into a dog's head... ahem, a jackal's head?"

There are many schools of thought about the birth of werewolves. The werewolves in this world are humans infected with a magical disease called lycanthropy. If they are bitten, they will be infected. The magic of the full moon will make the werewolves go crazy...

The information about werewolves emerged in his mind, and Adam questioned again:

"But it has never gone crazy during a full moon, and... according to him, it has existed for thousands of years."

"No, he's not contagious."

Professor Scamander raised his spoon to emphasize it, then lowered his head and took a sip:

"The reason why I describe him as a werewolf is because, like a werewolf, he is not naturally formed. He may be infected by some magical disease, or he may be affected by some magic... I once saw a person completely transformed into a snake under the influence of magic."

Professor Scamander thought for a moment.

"As for existing for thousands of years... that's absolutely impossible. As long as any creature exists in the world, time will leave its mark on it, even the basilisk that has been dormant for a thousand years. Based on my observation of that creature and what you said about its living environment, its lifespan is more than a hundred years, but no more than five hundred years at most."

"No more than five hundred years... This is interesting."

Adam narrowed his eyes. Did the Jackal slip his words? Or did he misjudge the time in the dark? Adam thought it couldn't be that simple.

"I think we can conduct more in-depth research on that creature, in addition to the basilisk."

Professor Scamander was obviously a little unsatisfied with the research that had been hastily concluded. Just a few days of observation could not satisfy his curiosity.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Of course, he was embarrassed to keep taking advantage of his student and junior:

"You're interested in magical creatures, right? Do you want to come to my house this holiday? I have a lot of friends I want to introduce you to."

"Of course, it's my pleasure, Professor, but I have already made plans for my vacation this year. I don't know how long it will take..."

Adam still has great trust in Newt's connections with magical creatures... connections with animals? It's a pity that he has to go to China next summer vacation, and he doesn't know how long it will take for him to come back.

"It doesn't matter. We can use the portrait to communicate when the time comes."

Scamander was not that anxious. With his strength, he could live for many more years if nothing unexpected happened.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was time to end the get out of class. Before the get out of class ended, Professor Scamander reminded us:

"Everyone, practice well after you go back. We will have a test in the next class - dance this dance to get close to the Manticore cub."

"Wait—what if we're attacked?"

"Don't worry, I will communicate with Professor Snape and bring enough white mulberry essence."

Professor Scamander gave a soothing smile, but the firmness in his words clearly revealed that he was not going to change his mind:

"The Manticore Dance is not difficult. My brother was able to learn it quickly even when he imitated me for the first time. If you are still attacked after practicing for a week, the wounds caused by a Manticore cub are very small. This is just a lesson for you who don't study hard."

Professor Scamander's eyes moved over each of the little wizards:

"The Care of Magical Creatures course is a course that requires great dedication. When you are actually practicing, you are dealing with lives. I hope you can all take this course seriously."

After class, Adam was attacked by four people before he could even open his mouth.
