What Could a Little Hufflepuff Possibly Be Up To?

Black, too, because of this.

Gradually made up his mind...

Black did not actually have much luggage.

He had given most of his things to the other children.

He carried a small Suitcase.

Reluctantly, he looked at the little room where he had lived for many years.

Mrs. Marian stood waiting at the doorway.

Her eyes were red as she silently looked at the child.

"Mrs. Marian... don't be sad. I'll come back to visit you often."

Black set down his Suitcase.

And gave Mrs. Marian a tight hug.

"I heard that one of your relatives is a professor."

"I'm sure your life will only get better from now on."

Black smiled.

A professor was indeed a professor.

But not the kind of professor Mrs. Marian imagined.

By the time Black walked to the entrance under the reluctant gazes of Mrs. Marian and the many children.

Dumbledore was already waiting there.

"Goodbye, everyone."

"I'll come back to visit you often."

Dumbledore and Black walked a long way.

When they looked back, Mrs. Marian and the other children could still be seen standing at the entrance, silently watching them.

After they rounded a corner.

And finally left their sight.

Dumbledore said, "All right, take my hand. Then we'll use Apparition to leave this place."

"Hmm... Apparition is a kind of teleportation magic. The process isn't very pleasant, but it's very useful."

Dumbledore was worried that Black would not know what Apparition was.

So he patiently explained it.

"Magic really is amazing," Black sighed sincerely.

"All right, come on. Take my hand," Dumbledore said with a smile.

"But... Professor, I just remembered that I forgot to bring a little pet."

"If I leave it behind, it'll go hungry."

"Oh? That's all right. Then let's go get it before we leave."

"What kind of pet is it? Where is it?"

Black pointed toward the woods not far away.

"In those woods!"

"Hmm... it's a hamster... a Siberian Hamster..."

"Then let's go."

Five minutes later.

Dumbledore looked at the enormous creature before him.

And said helplessly.

"This is the Siberian Hamster you were talking about?"

This was clearly a Brown Bear!

Judging by its size.

Although it was rather skinny for a Brown Bear.

It still weighed at least five or six hundred pounds...

How could he possibly call this a hamster?!

But...

At that moment, Black was stroking Bear Big's head.

And Bear Big, despite being a ferocious beast.

Lay obediently on the ground.

Allowing the boy to stroke him.

The sight still left Dumbledore shocked.

"Gasp... When Grindelwald conducted his experiments, did he perhaps add some of Newt's blood as well?"

"Otherwise, how could he make such a ferocious beast so docile?"

"Ding! A shocked emotion has been detected!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained one Silver Treasure Chest!"

At the sound of the system notifications.

The corners of Black's lips lifted slightly.

This was why he had brought Dumbledore to meet his little pet.

Unfortunately, it was only a Silver Treasure Chest.

"If it's a bear this big..."

Dumbledore had originally wanted to say that such a large bear would be difficult to raise.

And that Apparition would be inconvenient with a bear in tow.

But...

When he saw the joy in Black's eyes.

As he stayed with the Brown Bear.

He abandoned the thought.

Wasn't it just a bear?

As long as Black liked it.

Then he could keep it!

"Professor, is there no way we can take him with us?"

"No way? No!"

"Of course I have a way!"

Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Could you lend me your Suitcase?"

"Okay."

Black handed his Suitcase to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore placed it on a large rock nearby.

Then took out the few clothes inside.

And set them aside.

Afterward, he drew his Elder Wand.

Without even seeming to cast a spell.

Some kind of strange spatial distortion seemed to occur inside the Suitcase!

"All right..."

Dumbledore closed the Suitcase.

Then handed it to Black.

"As long as you point it at him and open the lid, you can store him inside."

"There's plenty of space inside. He won't feel cramped."

Black took the Suitcase in surprise.

This was...

Dumbledore had turned his Suitcase into a container capable of holding Fantastic Beasts!

Black turned around and patted Bear Big's head.

Then leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

After that, he opened the Suitcase toward him.

The next second.

Bear Big, offering no resistance at all, was sucked into the Suitcase!

"All right! Now we can leave."

"Once we reach our new home, we'll let him out again."

As Dumbledore spoke, he took out a piece of cloth.

And transformed it into a small bundle.

Then packed all of Black's clothes into it.

"Once you've gotten familiar with the new home, we'll go to Diagon Alley."

"It's time to buy you some school supplies."

"Ah, and most importantly, a Wand!"

"Oh, right, I won't give you the admission letter myself. I'll have an owl deliver it to you."

"I can't ruin the surprise of receiving an admission letter."

At the mention of Diagon Alley.

Black's eyes immediately lit up.

Could he finally go and see Diagon Alley?

If he went to Diagon Alley.

He would be able to get a Wand of his own.

Black had always cast spells without a Wand.

He truly wanted to try what casting magic with a Wand felt like!

And besides.

Once he got to Diagon Alley, he could buy the books he wanted.

Transfiguration, Alchemy, Ancient Rune.
