The God of Ice and Fire at Hogwarts

Chapter 163: Enthusiastic Magical Animals



Seeing that Irina was a little curious, Newt said, "Oh, that Zouwu is my companion. It's a magical creature from the mysterious East. I rescued it from a circus performing in Paris when I was young. You might not believe it, but it may look intimidating, but it is very gentle."

Newt led Irina and Hagrid to the suitcase fixed to the stone pillar. Soon, Irina found herself in a small wooden hut.

Inside this wooden hut, there was a folding bed, tropical clothing hanging on the wall, several tools, and many books and manuscripts carefully placed on a table.

"Welcome to my world!"

With a smile on his face, Newt opened the door to the hut and gestured outside.

What appeared before Irina was a whole new world, divided into different areas such as bamboo forests, caves, meadows, sandy areas, rainforests, pools, and snowy fields. In each area, different magical creatures lived.

From a distance, this place looked as beautiful as a landscape painting, making it mesmerizing to anyone who saw it.

Irina opened her mouth in shock. Although the scenes she had seen in movies in her previous life were quite intense, the personal experience she was having was far more powerful.

Under Newt's lead, Irina and Hagrid arrived at the place where the large feline Zouwu lived.

Irina saw the large cat lazily lying on the grass not far away. The cat was the size of an elephant, with five colors of fur and a tail as long as a basilisk's.

This large feline was the Zouwu. Its claws were extremely sharp, and it looked quite fierce, with slight scars on its body from when it had been abused in the circus.

Although this creature had been well-treated by Newt, these light scars still remained to this day.

"These are chickens and ducks that died naturally a few days ago. You can try feeding them," Newt said as he handed Hagrid a bucket of raw meat.

Zouwu seemed very intimidating, but in reality, it was a magical creature with an extremely gentle temperament. It never harmed humans and only ate meat from animals that had died naturally.

Hagrid took the bucket in surprise and carefully approached the large feline Zouwu.

Zouwu noticed Hagrid as he approached and, seeing the large figure of Hagrid, instinctively took a step back. However, once it recognized Newt, its old friend, it calmed down and stayed in place, waiting for Hagrid to approach.

Soon, Hagrid reached Zouwu and placed the bucket of naturally dead chickens and ducks in front of the creature. He then extended his hand carefully to touch Zouwu's large head.

After seeing the food in front of it, Zouwu happily let out a sound and did not reject Hagrid's touch. Instead, it lowered its head and began to feast.

Hagrid appeared quite happy. He hadn't expected the large Zouwu, which looked extremely fierce on the outside, to actually be such a friendly relative.

After Zouwu finished the food in the bucket, Hagrid stepped back and rejoined Newt.

"Can I pet it?" Irina looked at the large feline Zouwu with fondness and then turned to Newt.

Newt appeared a little embarrassed. "Of course, it's just that I don't have any food for you to give it."

"It's fine," Irina shook her head, "Then I'll just approach and take a look."

After receiving Newt's consent, Irina carefully walked toward the large Zouwu.

However, when Irina was less than ten meters away from Zouwu, something changed.

As soon as Zouwu looked up and saw Irina, it ran straight toward her, making Newt and Hagrid, who were standing at a distance, feel their hearts leap into their throats.

"I don't want to!" Newt shouted, not expecting the usually docile Zouwu to suddenly attack the little witch.

Newt wanted to stop Zouwu, but at that moment, the creature was just a few meters from Irina, too close for him to draw his wand in time.

However, after Zouwu knocked Irina to the ground, something surprising happened.

Instead of hurting Irina, Zouwu began to lick her face affectionately and then rubbed his furry head against her arm.

At that moment, Zouwu seemed like a little kitten begging for a hug from its owner!

Newt looked on in disbelief. Although he was very fond of Zouwu, he had never expected the feline to be so affectionate toward a witch!

Even Newt himself had never been as close to Zouwu.

"Heh, oh, don't cause any trouble..."

The soft fur of Zouwu brushed against Irina's face, causing it to itch.

Irina laughed joyfully and pushed Zouwu away from her, standing up again, then extending her hand to vigorously pet Zouwu's head.

Zouwu, on the other hand, lay down on its side on the ground, enjoying itself and exposing its belly.

Newt walked over with a complex expression and said in surprise, "Irina, I didn't expect you to be so liked by him!"

"Hehe," Irina stretched out her hand and petted Zouwu's belly with a silly grin, "Maybe it's because I have a talent for bonding with magical creatures. Most magical creatures I've interacted with are willing to get close to me!"

"A family with magical creatures?" Newt said with admiration, "Including myself, there are quite a few wizards with this special talent. But to create such an instant bond with magical creatures, I've never seen anyone with such extraordinary talent before! When I first encountered magical creatures, I had to work hard to earn their trust."

Irina, however, managed to have these magical creatures treat her with the utmost kindness and enthusiasm without doing anything. This filled Newt with envy.

After visiting Zouwu, Newt led Irina and Hagrid to visit the Bowtruckle, the Niffler, the Invisible Beast, the Orfeo, the Horned Camel, the Moon Beast, the Bird Serpent, and the Venomous Horned Beast, as well as the area where the venomous leopards lived.

These magical creatures, like Zouwu, were also very friendly and enthusiastic toward Irina.

"You said earlier that you are liked by most magical creatures, but that also means there are magical creatures you don't get along with," Newt said, "But even magical creatures like the Venomous Horn and the Venomous Leopard, they aren't related. All of them are like you, and I really can't imagine a magical creature hating you."

Irina thought for a moment and said, "I don't get along with the basilisk. Of course, I don't like it either."

Upon hearing this, Newt was slightly surprised. "A basilisk?! Have you ever encountered such a dangerous creature?!"

Irina nodded slightly and briefly summarized the events of the previous school year to Newt.

Newt was initially shocked that Irina, along with another young wizard, managed to defeat the basilisk that had survived for thousands of years. After thinking for a moment, he said, "There could be two possibilities. One is that the basilisk was artificial. We magical creatures with an affinity for magical animals don't attract real magical creatures. The second possibility is that the basilisk was an evil creature, one that opposes us."

Irina agreed. No matter the possibility, the basilisk could never be grouped with other magical creatures.

"Next is the last area we'll visit today. There lives a winged demon!"

Newt exclaimed as he continued walking forward.
