When Felix invited Charlie, the adventurous part of Charlie's character took effect. He accepted the suggestion happily without much consideration.

"You are even more conscienceless than Norbert, you know?" Charlie stretched out his rough hand and patted the stinger on the head of the Hungarian Horntail. The fire dragon rolled his eyes and ignored his accusation.

Charlie began to take over Felix's work, brushing the sauce layer by layer, "Based on my experience, brush in one direction-"

"Will it be more flavorful?" Felix asked.

"No, it will look better." Charlie laughed, "Like melted amber. Okay--"

The two cut one-tenth of the roast meat, and the rest went into the stomach of the Hungarian Horntail. "Fly over to Charlie's tent!" Charlie shouted, and two wine jugs flew over like cannonballs. He said to Felix, "We brew our own wine, made from local fruits, which can't be bought anywhere else."

Felix told some interesting stories at school, especially after mentioning Hagrid and Ron, Charlie was more relaxed, laughing from time to time. He said with interest, "I had a good relationship with Hagrid when I was in school, because we were both interested in dragons. He always said he wanted to raise a dragon, and he did it in the first year after I left."

"Norbert you mentioned just now?"

"Yes, a Norwegian Ridgeback dragon less than three years old, has been released back into the wild by us." Charlie grinned, "This kind of dragon grows fastest in the first few months after birth, and the cubs' fire-breathing ability develops relatively early. Hagrid soon realized that keeping it was a tricky trouble, so he asked me to take Norbert away."

"Norber has become familiar with us. He often comes to ask for food and runs away after eating." Charlie said, "We suspect that he will bring his own children with him in the future."

"He also often steals brandy in the camp. That is the captain's favorite. The captain doesn't want to drink it, but he secretly lets it go. We are on the alert."

Felix said, "Brandy? Could it be Hagrid--"

"Yes, Hagrid is a bad example." Charlie chuckled, "I guess he read a folk remedy in a book and thought that brandy can increase his fire-breathing ability."

...

Felix stayed in the fire dragon protection area for another two days. On the day before leaving, he finally saw Norber, the famous Norwegian Ridgeback in the camp. It is only twelve or thirteen feet long and looks much smaller than an adult dragon.

The Norwegian Ridgeback is somewhat similar to the Hungarian Horntail. They both have lizard-like bodies and broad wings, but their tails are smooth. The young dragon named Norber in front of him has a white nose tip, protruding orange-red eyes, and black thorny wings that keep flapping.

The camp prepared a sheep and a barrel of brandy for it. The captain with brown skin looked at Norbert with a painful expression as he drank up the brandy. Norbert burped loudly and sprayed out several shining sparks.

Then, Norbert called out to everyone happily twice and flew away with the sheep.

"Cunning guy." The middle-aged captain muttered.

Felix also said goodbye at the right time and left directly. In the next week, he concentrated on visiting some friends. Some of them were scheduled in advance, such as the Longbottom couple, and some were not formally scheduled, such as Newt Scamander. After returning from Newt's

house, Felix had a little guy on him, that is, a niffler cub.

Newt originally planned to release these magical animals regularly, and when Felix came over, it happened that among the animals that Newt was going to release, there were the three nifflers he had seen in the Ministry of Magic, they were Valen, Sal and Thorpe.

"I suggest you only choose one, their destructive power will double with the increase in number." Newt said.

"Let's go with Valen. I remember it scolded me." Felix said.

The lively Sniff turned its butt towards him and was excitedly snatching the shiny gold coins from its two brothers. When it heard Felix's words, its body froze in place.

Newt and Felix seemed to hear the sound of the neck creaking and turning, and the Sniff Valen looked at them innocently.

"Mr. Hep..."

"I'm kidding, I will take good care of it."

Newt shook his head and watched Felix trick the Sniff away with a pearl necklace conjured by a feather pen. He didn't know if he made the right choice.

However, he still took out a silver pocket watch and handed it to Felix: "You have seen it in the Ministry of Magic. It will lightly pop open when used. It is about the size of a classroom. Valen will like it."

...

At this time, Felix was reading in a secret book collection of Nick Flamel. The Sniff Valen lay on his back on the carpet, his small hands constantly scratching, trying to put the shiny magic runes in front of him into his pocket.

After almost a week, he found a pattern to get along with the little guy, casting the firming spell in the house, and then releasing the magic runes in the thinking hut for it to play.

He also compiled an exquisite dream - a mountain of Galleons, stored in his Order of Merlin, which is now one of Niffler Valen's treasures. The other treasure is a scrapped time-turner.

It was previously hidden in an ancient box, which was also found by Niffler Valen. There was a note in it specifically for Nick Flamel, telling its origin.

This completely damaged time-turner was purchased by Nick Flamel at a high price three hundred years ago. It is said that it was stolen goods confiscated from the British Ministry of Magic. Its previous owner used it incorrectly and trapped herself in the cracks of time. No one could find her, causing her to starve to death.

She wrote down the course of events in her own blood, which was later discovered by the Ministry of Magic. The time-turner was also confiscated together, and somehow it was circulated and bought by Nick Flamel.

He conducted extensive research on this time converter and tried to repair it, but ultimately failed, leaving behind only

a thick collection of information about time. Felix tried again and again, not believing in it, and found that it was indeed damaged. It was now just an hourglass-shaped work of art, and it eventually became one of Niffler Valen's collections.

July 16, Monday.

The sky was gloomy, and Felix was wearing a black suit. The emerald ring on his left hand and the Ouroboros ring on his right hand were taken off and put into his pocket, and the Niffler was also put into a silver pocket watch and kept close to him.

Today was the day of the funeral of Sirius's brother Regulus, and Felix packed up and came out.

It started to drizzle. Felix came to the funeral scene wearing a human armor spell. There were already quite a few people here. They were also wearing black robes or formal clothes. Among the adults, several children were particularly conspicuous - red-haired Ron Weasley, black-haired Harry Potter, and platinum-haired Draco Malfoy.

He also saw quite a few familiar faces, Tonks, Barty Crouch, the Malfoys, the Longbottoms, Neville's grandmother, and so on.

There were also some people sitting together. When Felix came over, they all showed uneasy expressions.

Felix smiled. He saw the face of the head of the Parkinson family. It was a flushed purple eggplant color, which looked particularly strange on his face.

"They are all acquaintances."
