HP: White Lord of Slytherin

A few days after Gloria wrote back to Newt, the elves finally brought a cage of swollenneck cubs. They had just been weaned and were ready to be fed. Sending them to Hogwarts at this stage would help them adapt to the environment better.

In addition to these, there are also many bubbles collected, all placed in a palm-sized seamless stretch box.

Gloria greeted Draco and went to Professor Snape's office alone. She knocked on the door twice. About five minutes later, the professor opened the door.

"What is it?" Snape's voice was calm and his attitude towards her was very peaceful.

"Professor Snape, I need to see Headmaster Dumbledore, but I don't know his office password. Can you take me there?" Gloria took out the box. "And this is the bubble that a swollen-necked beast spits out near my manor. Crushing it can make people feel better. I think the professor will be very interested in it."

Snape was indeed interested and took the box, "If you need any potion, come to me."

He knew that Gloria had no shortage of money, nor of materials for potions.

"It's nothing. Maybe we'll have the chance to work with the professor in the future." Gloria stepped aside and waited for him to lead the way.

With Professor Snape leading the way, she soon arrived at the headmaster's office.

After reciting the correct password, Snape said, "He's in there. There are potions in the office that need to be watched, so I won't send you off."

The professor spoke and acted promptly and quickly, and walked away quickly after he finished speaking.

Gloria sniffed. The smell of potion emanating from Professor Snape had not yet completely dissipated.

Wolfsbane Potion...

She entered the office, where Headmaster Dumbledore was writing something at his desk. "Severus told me before you came. Is there something?"

"Newt discovered the effect of a kind of beast called the Swollen Neck. Considering that there are many Dementors around the school, I think it is necessary to introduce them." Gloria said as she looked around at the portraits. Soon she found that the old man in one of the frames was staring at her. "Their bubbles have magical effects. They have been transported to the Forbidden Forest. If you agree, I will send them to Hagrid."

"Newt wrote to me specifically about this." Dumbledore said, "It's really amazing. Of course I agree to your application. Hagrid will take good care of them."

Then he stood up from the desk and pointed to one of the picture frames on the wall. It was the portrait that had been staring at her. "That's Phineas, your father's great-great-grandfather. He was the headmaster of Hogwarts."

Phineas Nigellus Black, Gloria had seen his name on the Black family tree.

The old man with gray hair and beard and gray eyes looked pleased, "Regulus' daughter, of Slytherin and Black blood, I have always wanted to meet you."

"You saw it." Gloria said, "I won't bother you any more. The Swollen Neck Beast needs to be handed over to Hagrid as soon as possible to be fed."

Dumbledore nodded, "Okay, take some candy."

Just like when they first met, he still liked to treat people to candy. Gloria didn't hesitate to grab a handful of colorful candy and nodded to the principals on the wall before leaving.

As soon as the people left, the headmaster's office became lively. The portraits stopped sleeping like before and started talking to Dumbledore.

"That child is different from Salazar. The previous two headmasters told me that Salazar was aloof and taciturn. Even when he argued with the other three founders, he only said a few words before leaving." The portrait that was speaking was the third headmaster of Hogwarts, and the oldest one among the portraits on the wall.

"Everyone has different personalities. Maybe not all Slytherins are cold dark wizards." said a female portrait.

Dumbledore thought of the portrait room at Slytherin Manor, where there were many portraits of Dark Wizards. He was also fortunate enough to meet Salazar, one of the founders of the school, who was indeed a very cold man.

"She cares a lot about Hogwarts and has loved ones. Her family background will help us a lot when we deal with Voldemort in the future."

Phineas held his head high in pride, "Heir of Slytherin with Black blood, you are lucky it won't be as difficult as it was more than ten years ago."

The other portraits threw things at him through the frame, unable to bear the sight of the smug look on the annoying fellow's face.

Hagrid was so happy to see a cage of swampneck cubs. Although they were not his favorite beasts, as newly discovered creatures, Hagrid was still full of joy and curiosity. He said with tears in his eyes that he would take good care of them.

Two days later, in the Care of Magical Creatures class, when students saw a group of humming cubs, they had no idea what they were and they didn't look like dangerous creatures.

"What's this? Hagrid?" Ron asked, pointing at the swollen-necked beast.

"Oh, haha..." Hagrid laughed so hard that his huge body shook. "These are given by Gloria. They're called swollennecks. Don't worry, they don't bite and are very friendly. Each of you can hold one."

Considering that Hagrid had previously praised the Hippogriff for its beauty and the Acromantula for its elegance, I didn't quite believe his praise for magical creatures.

"Look at that stupid look—" Draco pushed the person in front of him away, "It's just a swollen neck beast."

He picked up two and walked back, handing one to Gloria.

Everyone looked at them and found that the swollen-necked beasts were indeed very obedient, so they reached out and hugged one.

"Very good. These are called swollen-necked beasts. They are very magical creatures. Gloria told me about some of their characteristics when she gave them to me. But during these two days of getting along with them, I understand why they are not ferocious but can reproduce stably."

Hearing Hagrid's words, Gloria couldn't help but become serious.

Hagrid also held one in his arms. He rubbed the soft neck of the swollen neck beast, and blue bubbles came out one after another. "It's beautiful, right? These are the bubbles. You can crush them in your hands, and you will feel much better."

Some students reached out to catch the bubbles and crushed them out of curiosity. One could see with the naked eye that the boy's expression suddenly became warm.

"Yes, that's right." Hagrid said, "When facing the creatures hunting them, the swollennecks usually rely on bubbles to escape. When the bubbles that touch the beasts burst, they will reduce their desire to hunt them, and even let them go. Of course, they are not always lucky enough to let the hunting creatures hit the bubbles."

Gloria felt that he was indeed suitable for raising magical animals, and she discovered this after only two days of raising them.

Newt has too many creatures to pay attention to, and he has not yet carefully observed how the swollennecks deal with hunting creatures, but he can write a letter to tell him.

"Can we use these bubbles to prevent aggressive magical animals from harming us?" a student asked curiously.

"This..." Hagrid hesitated. "I haven't tried it yet. Let me tell you about feeding the swollennecks first. You also need to pay attention to their habits. This is a newly discovered magical animal!"

"He's almost the same kind as those monsters. How can we attack him?" Draco said jokingly.

Ron looked at Draco with an angry look in his eyes, and Hermione pulled him aside to avoid causing a scene in Hagrid's class.

Harry took a bubble and slapped it on Ron's face. Immediately, the angry expression on the red-haired boy's face faded away. Harry said happily, "It really works!"

"Harry--!" Hermione shouted, "Don't use it on him, it could be dangerous!"

Harry didn't care. Ron took this opportunity to give Hermione a bubble. Gradually, the other students realized that when they saw the Dementors in the distance, they were no longer as afraid as before.
