Chapter 267: Trust Between People
Chapter 267: Trust Between People
Surprisingly, the topic of magical creatures and Hogwarts seemed to pique the interest of the Poison Sac Panther. Especially when Kyle spoke of the time when Dumbledore entrusted Norbert with guarding the Philosopher's Stone, the Panther even snorted disdainfully.
Although it didn't know what the Philosopher's Stone or the Three-Headed Dog were, it didn't matter. All it had to do was prevent others from entering the room, and it was confident it could do a better job than those three-headed foolish dogs.
At worst, it could just release more poison... As long as the castle was filled with poison, no one would be able to enter.
See, it's that simple.
Taking advantage of the Panther's attention being focused on Kyle, Newt approached it from behind and started to massage its belly.
After about ten minutes, the Panther shuddered and suddenly stood up.
Underneath it, there was now a smaller Poison Sac Panther wrapped in a layer of mucus.
As the little one began to move, the mucus that enveloped it like an eggshell was quickly flung to the side.
The Panther lowered its head and affectionately licked the little one with its tongue.
Perhaps because it was its first time doing this, it lacked experience, and its strength was a little too much, causing the little one's face to become distorted.
"Phew... Finally done!" Kyle sighed in relief.
After talking for so long, his throat was almost smoking.
Kyle turned to look for the one-pint of tears he had ordered from Fox.
The result was as expected; Fox hit him with its wing.
"Stingy..." Kyle grumbled as he stood up.
"Don't be impatient, we're not done yet."
Newt reminded him, "There should be one more."
Only then did Kyle notice that the Panther's belly was still swollen.
After about an hour, when the third little Poison Sac Panther was also born safely, it finally came to an end.
Newt wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved to someone in the distance.
A larger Poison Sac Panther quickly ran over, carrying a plump leg of Tuberculosis Pig in its mouth.
"They're all healthy," Newt said with a smile, placing the little one on the side, and then silently left with Kyle.
Unlike the resistance on the way there, on the way back, Kyle would turn back every few steps, his eyes filled with reluctance.
"No, Kyle!"
"I know what you're thinking, and it's absolutely not allowed."
Newt said seriously, "I agreed to let you take Norbert to school because I trust that you can control him and keep him from escaping the box.
But the little Poison Sac Panthers are different; they can't control their poison yet. It's too dangerous, not just for you but for everyone in the castle."
Didn't he understand it better than anyone else?
Kyle's gaze just now was as obvious as Sniffles' when he saw a Galleon.
He definitely wanted to take one of the little ones with him!
"I, I know..." Kyle scratched his head, "I was just thinking about it, I didn't plan to actually do it."
Of course, he understood how dangerous the Poison Sac Panthers were, so it was natural that he wouldn't bring them to school.
Moreover, the two larger ones were right beside him, so even if he wanted to, he couldn't take them.
Although he said this, Newt still subconsciously quickened his pace, feeling as if he were carrying a time bomb.
When the two of them exited the box, the sky was already beginning to brighten.
They had been busy all night.
Kyle was fine; he often stayed up late studying at the library and was used to it.
But Newt, who was already ninety-five years old, was different. As soon as he left the box, he showed obvious signs of fatigue.
However, his eyes remained bright.
"As expected, it was the right decision to call you."
Newt closed the box and poured a cup of hot chocolate for Kyle.
"Poison Sac Panthers usually only give birth to one or two cubs, so a litter of three is extremely rare."
"And it puts a lot of strain on them and can even be life-threatening."
"Luckily, you distracted it, and the process went much smoother than I expected."
"No, no, I just talked to it. I didn't help that much." Kyle waved his hands in denial.
He was only thirteen and didn't want to be randomly labeled as a "birthing assistant."
But Newt just smiled and gave him a meaningful look.
"It's getting late. Go to bed. By the way, you don't need to get up early tomorrow to go to the station. I'll take you back to Hogwarts, and as for your luggage, I'll have Chris send it later."
"No need. I have my luggage with me," said Kyle.
The error-free version is read at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar First release of this novel.
Before coming here, in order not to arouse Fox's suspicion, he specifically mixed the box containing the diary into his luggage and put it in the box.
I didn't expect to save a lot of trouble.
"That's perfect." Newt nodded and left.
But after a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and picked up the box on the ground and took it away.
The smile on Kyle's face disappeared instantly.
This is too much... It makes him seem like he's going to run into the box in the middle of the night.
Really, it's about trust between people! Kyle pouted and put the hot chocolate back on the table and went back to his room to sleep.
He had a separate room here, specially prepared by Newt and Tina.
...
Since 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 mountains of caramelized potato cakes and steaks.
"Is anyone else coming?" Kyle asked in confusion.
This amount was too much; even thirty people couldn't finish it, let alone three.
"No one is coming." Tina smiled and took out a box, "You like potato cakes, right? These are for you to take to school."
"The steak is for the Poison Sac Panther," said Newt. "She needs a lot of food to regain her strength."
Kyle suddenly realized and sat down at the table.
Tina added several pieces of steak to his plate, stacked like bricks.
Kyle didn't refuse; he had only eaten one potato cake since last night and was already hungry.
After the meal, Newt took him to deliver food to the Poison Sac Panther family again.
The toxic mist that shrouded the grassland had thinned but remained deadly.
The three little ones still remembered them and weren't shy at all. They kept circling around Kyle's feet and occasionally pulling at his pants.
The two larger ones snuggled up on the stone, eating the steak Newt brought while lazily watching Kyle help them take care of their young.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Kyle felt the train should be approaching Hogwarts, and he reluctantly left.
Norbert and the Troll had secretly moved Fox into his box.
Dumbledore was indeed very reliable. The space in his box could now be said to be out of sight, and he didn't know how many times larger it was than before.
Moreover, Dumbledore had also helped him complete part of the renovation work. The area that originally had only a few trees had become a lush forest, and the lake had also expanded significantly, with two additional hills on the side.
Even the climate had been adjusted; near the lake, a thick layer of ice and snow covered the area.
