Chapter 475 The Isle of Man's Magical Creatures Reserve

The protected area was ultimately chosen to be located on the Isle of Man. With funding steadily arriving, construction proceeded rapidly. To save money and expedite the process, Onyxia specifically traveled to Levin's Enchanted Forest to seek the help of Vera's Stellar.

Levin set up mushroom circles between the Enchanted Forest and the Isle of Man Reserve, creating a passage connecting the two places. Queen Veranestriley, the Dryad Queen, made this place the new home for her nymphs, and she had her nymphs take turns stationed on the Isle of Man.

These nymphs not only helped with the construction of the protected area but also participated in its management. They became official employees of the Ministry of Magic, each receiving a formal position.

Ever since its appearance at the Triwizard Tournament, rumors about the tree spirit have been circulating in the magical world.

Magic biologists are filled with curiosity and interest in this newly discovered amazing creature.

Now, the news of the nymphs settling in the Isle of Man has attracted widespread attention and heated discussion.

Their existence has been officially confirmed.

As a result, the position at the Isle of Man Reserve suddenly became highly sought after, attracting the attention of countless magizoologists. They all expressed interest in the position, including even Newt Scamander, one of the most distinguished magizoologists of our time. These scholars were eager to take this opportunity to meet this new humanoid race in order to conduct more in-depth research on them—of course, there were also some who came with the intention of finding a romantic encounter.

There's no way around it; nymphs are a race known for their charm, and their talent in this area even surpasses that of Veela, making them as famous as succubi in various magical planes.

Taking advantage of this gimmick, the recruitment of staff for the reserve went very smoothly, and a professional team was quickly assembled.

With the invaluable assistance of the nymphs, environmental restoration in the reserve progressed rapidly. Using their innate magic, the island's forest area doubled in just one week, providing a more habitable environment for various magical creatures.

The reserve has not only housed giants, but has also begun to gradually introduce various other amazing creatures.

These organisms coexist harmoniously within the reserve, forming a unique ecosystem.

In addition, the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control announced that all smuggled creatures seized in the future will be released and reintroduced into the wild in protected areas.

The reserve will also conduct extensive artificial breeding of these amazing wild creatures to protect endangered species. It will also open up breeding services and allow farms to breed farmed individuals with wild individuals to improve their genes.

In short, the magical world finally understood what a comprehensive magical creature protection zone was, what it meant to integrate conservation and research, and what a "gene bank" was. These advanced wildlife conservation concepts from Muggles were brought to the magical world.

However, the establishment of the new protected area and the introduction of giants sparked considerable controversy in the magical world of Yin Kingdom.

Some worry that this will disrupt the balance of the magical world, while others see it as a groundbreaking achievement for the magical world of the Underworld in terms of biological protection.

However, this controversy paled in comparison to the escalating conflict between Fudge and Dumbledore. Attention quickly shifted to the rivalry between the two titans, while the issues of the protected area and the giants were gradually forgotten.

The Titans brought back by Levin also began basic training under the control of the enslavement contract.

Meanwhile, the Titans brought back by Levin also began basic training under the constraints of the enslavement contract.

They not only need to learn human languages ​​and cultures in order to better integrate into society, but also need to receive moral education to suppress their naturally chaotic nature.

Under the careful guidance of the reserve staff, the giants gradually adapted to their new lifestyle and began to develop good behavioral habits.

Except for a few elderly, weak, sick, or disabled individuals, all the healthy giants participated in mandatory military training.

They changed their lazy lifestyle of eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, and fighting all the time, and became more self-disciplined and organized.

Through training, the giants not only improved their combat abilities but also developed a sense of teamwork and collective honor—at least they wouldn't kill each other indiscriminately.

These changes brought some comfort to the older giants and filled the staff of the Ministry of Magic with anticipation for the future of the giants.

Of course, taming giants is undoubtedly a difficult and lengthy task, and at present, it can only be said that things have changed slightly.

However, under the mind control of the enslavement contract, the physical constraints of the nymphs, and the multiple incentives of high salaries, the staff of the reserve still maintain extreme caution and patience towards these rugged and ferocious giants.

They knew that only through meticulous guidance and education could these giants gradually integrate into human society.

Hagrid was particularly interested in the new protected area, not only because his brother was doing well there, but also because of his deep love for all sorts of magical creatures.

He especially loved ferocious creatures, and dragon farms were places he frequented.

His Norbert has settled down at the dragon farm, and although she seems to have completely forgotten him, Hagrid is convinced that she is only temporarily angry with him because of his decision to send her away.

He believed that one day she would accept him back and let him be her "Mom" again.

In addition, the dragon-blooded creatures in the dragon breeding farm of the reserve also aroused Hagrid's great interest, such as dragon turtles and dragon lions.

These creatures, which combine characteristics of their own species with those of dragons, seemed to be the product of a drunken dragon's wild night. Upon seeing them, Hagrid suddenly felt a surge of excitement and wanted to create a few new species himself.

During this time, Hagrid enthusiastically shared his experience of raising and breeding magical creatures with the staff of the reserve.

Although his experience (that of the King of Zhao) was somewhat fragmented and lacked a systematic approach, with the help of his colleagues, he gradually began to organize and summarize the patterns and methods from it.

These techniques have greatly helped advance artificial breeding techniques in protected areas.

Hagrid is very good at this kind of work.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to create the Exploding Tail Snail by hybridizing the manticore and the fire crab.

He can even manage cross-species hybridization, let alone within the same species?

He's quite the matchmaker for magical creatures.

Meanwhile, with Levin's patient persuasion, Hagrid also accepted job training.

He learned much he had missed out on due to dropping out of school, and began to transform from a carefree gamekeeper into a professional magic biologist.

Although the process was challenging, Hagrid enjoyed it because Levin promised him that if he passed the final test, he would be in charge of several artificial breeding projects in protected areas.

Chapter 476 Levin's New "Prophecy"

Two weeks after Levin returned from the Ural Mountains, in the tower's library,

Outside the window, cicadas chirped incessantly in the magical garden, making it a hot and irritating afternoon, but inside the tower room, all was quiet.

With the blessing of the [Constant Temperature Spell], the room temperature was cool and pleasant. Levin sat at his desk, and the quill pen danced lightly on the parchment under his control, leaving behind lines of smooth and neat handwriting.

Hermione sat quietly beside Levin, holding the latest version of "The Book of All Laws" in her hands. Her eyes quickly scanned the pages, diligently absorbing the knowledge in the book. The corners of her mouth occasionally turned up, clearly engrossed in it.

Zhang Qiu sat on the other side of Levin, holding the latest issue of "The Quibbler" in her hand, occasionally letting out a light laugh, amused by Xenophilius's arrogant words.

Just a few days ago, Levin’s paper, “Dragon Bloodline: Three New Species Discovered in England and Research on Their Formation,” was officially published in the Journal of Fantastic Creatures.

This significant achievement confirms that the dragon turtles, dragon lions, and other creatures mentioned in the recent "Singing a Different Tune" program are not just unfounded urban legends, but real and magical creatures.

Although this isn't the first time The Quibbler has discovered truly new species amidst the complexities of urban legends, this remarkable achievement still fills the entire magazine and its supporters with immense excitement and pride.

As for Luna, the only daughter of the editor-in-chief of "Singing the Divergence," she was standing quietly in front of a bookshelf.

Her gaze didn't fall on the neatly arranged books on the shelf, but rather slowly moved along the grain of the fabric, as if those grains held some hidden secret. Her eyes were somewhat unfocused, and she had fallen into her own world of fantasy.

Just then, Levin snapped his fingers lightly, and the quill pen stopped, while the parchment he had just finished writing on floated lightly to his side.

He quickly glanced through his writing, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. Then, he stretched and leaned comfortably against Zhang Qiu's lap beside him.

Zhang Qiu shifted slightly, but ultimately yielded to Levin's movements. She gently adjusted her posture so that Levin could lean against her more comfortably.

“Levin,” Hermione put down the Book of All Laws and suddenly asked, “Are you writing a letter to Harry? I’m sorry, I accidentally saw a few lines. Didn’t you receive a letter from Professor Dumbledore?”

Levin, unimpressed, retorted:

"You mean that letter? The one that asked us not to write to Harry and not to tell him what was happening in the wizarding world?"

Hermione nodded, her brow furrowing slightly. "Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore did emphasize that in his letter. He said that owl messengers might be intercepted."

“Of course,” she paused and continued, “although there are other ways to communicate, I think Headmaster Dumbledore mainly wanted to protect Harry and keep him from knowing too much. After all, Harry hasn’t mastered Occlumency yet. Didn’t you speculate before that the Voldemort fragment in Harry’s forehead might create some kind of connection between them?”

Levin shrugged. "Yes, that's exactly what I said. Harry can see what Voldemort sees when he's emotional, but conversely, Voldemort can also see what Harry sees and hears. It's a double-edged sword."

He sighed and continued, "Actually, I suggested to Harry a long time ago that he go to his godfather to learn Occlumency, but for some reason, he hasn't made any progress. Harry isn't really stupid; he does have a talent for magic. I suspect that the fact that Voldemort left a fragment of his soul on Harry's forehead is the root cause of why Harry hasn't been able to learn Occlumency."

Hermione raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Oh? So what do you think we should do?"

“Dumbledore’s approach of keeping things from Harry, focusing solely on preventing information from our side from being exposed to Voldemort, is actually unwise,” Levin said with a slight frown. “Harry has the right to know the truth, and he must understand the connection between himself and Voldemort.”

“But Professor Dumbledore must have his reasons, right? He’s one of the people who knows Harry and Voldemort best.” Hermione couldn’t help but feel a little worried after hearing this.

“That’s right, Professor Dumbledore certainly knew Voldemort very well.” Levin nodded. “But that’s precisely why he should have told Harry the truth. To prepare Harry, instead of just protecting him blindly.”

On the other side, Cho Chang suddenly interjected curiously, "So you mean if we don't tell Harry the truth, he might fall into the trap Voldemort has set for him?"

Levin said speculatively, "Yes, given Voldemort's personality, once he realizes the spiritual connection between him and Harry, he's likely to use it against him. He might create some illusions for Harry to fall into, and Harry might impulsively fall into the trap without knowing the specifics."

He sighed, his brow furrowed. "I really want to stop this from happening, but unfortunately I made a promise to Professor Dumbledore that I wouldn't directly interfere with his plans for Harry and his prophetic schemes. So, no matter how worried I am, I can't tell Harry the truth directly."

Zhang Qiu could sense the distress in Levin's words.

“But don’t you think this is a bit unfair to Harry?” Hermione suddenly said. “He’s trapped in the Dursleys’ house, completely isolated from us, and the wizarding world is misunderstood as having abandoned him. Is this situation really good for his emotional stability?”

Levin pondered for a moment before replying, "You're right, Hermione. Professor Dumbledore is getting old, and he's been through a lot. Perhaps it's because of these experiences that he's so hesitant when making decisions. Sometimes, I worry that he's forgotten the fearless courage he had when he was young."

He said quietly, "Think about it, what kind of situation Harry must be in right now—he's been trapped in the Dursleys' house for a month, without any news from us, he's never had any good memories in the Muggle world, and now he's probably going to misunderstand that the wizarding world has also abandoned him. I think this feeling of loneliness and helplessness will make it easier for Voldemort to have a bad influence on him."

At this point, Levin stood up and made a cup of black tea for each of the two girls, carefully adding a few extra spoonfuls of sugar cubes and milk according to their tastes.

"So I think we should maintain normal contact with Harry, at least to let him know that we still care about him. But in the last year, my relationship with Harry has become a bit distant, so I just sent him one or two greeting letters as usual during the holidays."

As he spoke, Levin handed Hermione a cup of freshly brewed black tea, while simultaneously grabbing a parchment from the table and waving it around: "But you, Hermione, why don't you consider resuming your correspondence with Harry? After all, you two correspond much more frequently than he and I do. Perhaps your letters can bring him some comfort and encouragement."

After listening to Levin's words, Hermione fell into deep thought.

She glanced at the parchment in Levin's hand, then at the quill pen and the unfolded parchment in her own hand, hesitating whether to break the rules set for her by Headmaster Dumbledore.

Ultimately, her trust in Levin easily outweighed her obedience to Dumbledore, and the quill in her hand began to move rapidly.

Just then, Luna, who had been seemingly lost in thought, suddenly turned around and said in an ethereal voice, "I guess this is what Mysterio wanted Harry to feel."

Hermione didn't understand Luna's meaning at first, and asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

Luna chuckled softly, as if singing, and said, "Let me put it this way, if I were the Man of Darkness, I would prefer Harry to be isolated from everyone... because if he were all alone, Harry wouldn't be much of a threat."

Her words struck Hermione like a lightning bolt, and she immediately understood what Luna meant.

Sure enough, Dumbledore was getting a bit senile.

“By the way, Luna, I made a new prophecy these past few days. Harry might be in some trouble,” Levin said quickly to Luna before she went into a daze again. “Get your camera ready. We can go for a walk around the Dursleys’ neighborhood these days. If nothing unexpected happens, the prophecy will probably happen around August 2nd.”

———————This is the dividing line for the Ministry of Magic————————

Fudge's mood lately is like the spring sky, bright and sunny.

They not only successfully removed Dumbledore from his position as president of the International Federation of Wizards, but also expelled him from his prestigious seat in Wizengamot—the highest court of wizards.

Now, all they need to do is reclaim Dumbledore's Order of Merlin First Class, a symbol of supreme honor, and Fudge believes that few people will believe Dumbledore's words anymore.

"The masses are always blind; they are lazy to think and easily misled."

Fudge sneered inwardly.

"As long as we continue to bombard them with information through the newspapers, those uninformed wizards will be led by the nose and believe that Dumbledore has become senile."
