Chapter 55 The Plague of Magical Beasts

After Halloween, it was November, and the cold weather made the little wizards even more reluctant to get up.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Kyle, who had changed into a thick robe, yawned and came to the hall, ready to have breakfast.

When the owls swarmed into the hall as usual, the broom that Cedric had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived, and as he expected, it was a Nimbus 1700.

"Great, Cedric, great." A senior Hufflepuff player patted Cedric's shoulder excitedly and said, "You are a seeker. With this Nimbus 1700, the gap between us and Slytherin will be much smaller.

I have seen the strength of their seeker. To be honest, it is not much better than a troll who can ride a flying broom."

By the way, Hufflepuff's first Quidditch opponent is Slytherin.

Originally, they were a little worried about the huge gap in equipment, but suddenly they got such good news.

A Nimbus 1700 was not enough to boost their morale, but with Cedric as the Seeker, it was different.

In the training match, Cedric caught the Snitch in five minutes at the fastest time. He was only a few seconds away from breaking the record of the fastest Seeker in Hogwarts.

With a top-notch broom and a genius Seeker, the Hufflepuff players didn't know how they would lose.

Could Slytherin still lead them by 150 points in five minutes?

Don't be kidding.

Kyle was also very happy. Although he didn't participate, it would be great if the college could win a Quidditch cup.

He turned his head to look at Cedric's brand new Nimbus until he felt a tingling sensation in his fingers, and then he realized that there was also an owl in front of him.

"Sorry, little guy, I didn't notice it."

Kyle quickly took out a piece of Mortra rat jerky and fed it to the other party, and then took off the letter from its claws and read it.

"Dear Kyle:

I'm sorry it took me so long to reply to you. I've been so busy lately that I thought I had replied until this morning when I found the unfinished letter in the office. I hope you can forgive me.

We also received the Galleons you sent. I'm proud of you, kid. I wasn't as good as you when I was in the first grade.

In addition, your mother asked me to tell you that she accepted your Galleons, but you can forget about the broom.

But she did prepare something else for you, which will be delivered to you in two days. I hope you like it.

That's it. I wish you a happy life at Hogwarts.

-Your father, Chris."

After reading the letter, the light in Kyle's eyes disappeared visibly.

Although he had guessed that Diana was not as easy to fool as Mr. Diggory, Kyle was still disappointed after seeing the result.

And it was so late.

He sent the letter in early September, and it's only in November now. What on earth is Chris busy with that he can stay away from the office for two months.

Is Uncle Newt traveling?

Just when Kyle was puzzled, Cedric suddenly slapped a copy of the Daily Prophet in front of him.

"Look, Kyle, something big has happened. No wonder my father took so long to mail me the broom."

On the front page of the Daily Prophet, there was a photo of many magical animals, but they were all locked up.

Next to the photo was a bold title.

The Disaster of Magical Animals

"According to relevant sources, on September 3rd of this year, the Ministry of Magic's striker accidentally missed the target when catching a group of magical animal smugglers, causing a large number of smuggled magical animals to escape. Among them were even three magical animals that were defined as XXXXX level and highly dangerous.

We still don't understand why the striker made such a low-level mistake, nor why the Ministry of Magic concealed this matter.

"This is to avoid causing panic in the wizarding world." Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge said this morning, "We have captured most of the magical animals, and no wizards have died during this period. "

We don't know the authenticity of this result yet.

However, Chris Chopper, a spokesman for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic, said in an interview that although with the help of Mr. Newt Scamander, almost all escaped magical creatures, including the Australian Protein Eye and the Nundu Panther, have been successfully captured.

But there is still a Winged Demon whose whereabouts are still unknown.

He called on everyone that the Winged Demon is highly dangerous. If you see it, you must run away immediately and shoot a red warning spell into the sky. The Beast Office and Aurors will go to help as quickly as possible."

After reading it, Kyle finally understood what Chris was busy with.

From the photos, there are about fifty or sixty magical creatures captured. This is already the largest magical animal smuggling case in the British magic world in the past thirty years.

But this is not the point, the point is the poisonous sac panther.

Kyle is very curious about how they did it. They even got the Nundu Panther.

That thing is not only agile, but even the exhaled gas is poisonous, which can easily destroy a village.

Let's put it this way. The Ministry of Magic clearly stated in its description that under normal circumstances, it would take more than a hundred skilled wizards to subdue a Nundul.

Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to illustrate its danger. You know, it only takes ten wizards to subdue a dragon.

"Fortunately, it was the Winged Devil that ran away." Kyle sighed sincerely.

It's not that he looked down on the Winged Devil.

Although the Winged Devil was also defined as 5X, it was only because its dangerousness reached the standard.

The Nungu Panther was defined as 5X because the Ministry of Magic only rated it 5X.

The two are not at the same level at all.

Other senior students, or those who have some knowledge of magical animals, such as Cedric, nodded in agreement after hearing Kyle's words.

As for the other young wizards, they didn't know much about magical animals and were more concerned about the escaped Winged Devil.

The words "highly dangerous" in the newspaper didn't seem to be alarmist.

"Fortunately, we are in Hogwarts." At this time, someone said thankfully: "With Dumbledore here, we will definitely not be hurt."

His statement was quickly unanimously affirmed by everyone.

Yes, with Dumbledore here, what else do they need to worry about?

The atmosphere at the table suddenly became much more lively.

But this situation did not last long, and soon it became quiet again.

Then, a little wizard suddenly stood up, not even bothering to eat breakfast, and ran straight to the owl shed.

With his reminder, the others also reacted and stood up, some ran to the owl shed, and some rushed directly back to the dormitory.

The originally bustling auditorium soon had few people left.
