Chapter 272: The First Collaboration of the Club

Felix and Newt exchanged addresses. Felix learned that after retiring, Newt and his wife lived in the countryside of Devon County, where they had a "spacious" underground sanctuary for magical creatures in need.

"I don't always keep them, more like a healer. Once the 'patients' are well, I let them return to nature," Newt told him.

Although he had guessed the answer, Felix still inquired, "Mr. Scamander, if you don't intend to gain something from them, how have you maintained your love for them over the years?"

Newt smiled and replied, "How do you maintain love? It's because of the love itself, of course."

...

The next weekend, at the meeting of the Magical Arts Club, Felix presented the Ring of the Serpent's Embrace to the members.

He flipped the emerald green coin in his hand, deftly maneuvering it between his fingertips. His actions quickly captured the attention of the students. In the next moment, the coin transformed into a small snake, coalescing into a serpent-shaped ring on his right pinky.

With a wave of his wand, dozens of coins flew out from a corner table, accurately landing in front of each young witch and wizard.

"Consider it your belated Christmas present."

"It can replace the copper knuts I gave you before. It has two formscoin and ringyour choice. If you want it to transform into the latter, just think 'unlimited' and infuse it with magic. You can try it now"

The club members extended their hands, letting the coins fall into their palms, feeling their weight. Navimol, attending her first gathering, traced the patterns on the coin's surface. It exuded a unique and substantial sheen, yet didn't feel like metal. She looked up at Harry, who mouthed to her, "Basilisk scales."

Harry had learned this from Hermione, who had learned it from Professor Snape. When Harry first heard about this, he was surprised. He thought the Basilisk had been returned to the Chamber of Secrets after the incident. But Hermione informed him that Basilisk materials were valued magical ingredients and had been divided among the professors...

Navimol's heart raced as if completing a ritual. She enunciated clearly, "Unlimited." The coin in her hand transformed, becoming a slender, emerald green snake in the blink of an eye.

Cradling it, Navimol tentatively asked, "Do you know how to do it?" The little snake slithered onto her right pinky, coiling twice and twisting into a Serpent's Embrace ring.

The most excited ones were the Slytherins. Draco Malfoy, as soon as he saw the snake-shaped transformation, grew fond of it. He couldn't help but touch its head with his index finger. It didn't feel slippery as expected; instead, it was a warm touch, like being carved from an emerald gemstone.

The little snake raised its head, its shining black eyes meeting his gaze.

Draco extended his finger, and the snake swayed its body, winding around his finger and forming a circular loop. He gleefully looked left and right, catching sight of Pansy Parkinson and Daphne Greengrass. Their eyes were wide open, completely captivated.

Ravenclaw's Warren Partis wore a straight face. "Stop teasing. I've helped you quite a few times..."

Ever since last year when Professor Harp had called them up to participate in an Ancient Runes knowledge competition before they even had answer parchment they had engaged in a friendly rivalry. Occasionally, they would work on assignments and research together in the library. It was a unique camaraderie they had built.

At least, that's how he saw it.

Harry stood on the outskirts of the crowd. He was never good at handling such situations, especially ones where he had to initiate social interactions. However, when he noticed that Draco Malfoy didn't seem too pleased either, his mood instantly lifted. It felt like being back in Diagon Alley, enjoying an ice cream at Florean Fortescue's on a sunny day.

Draco caught Harry's gaze and sneered softly, "Potteryou're as annoying as Macadamius, why don't you roll back to your Punching Telescope?"

Harry looked at him in astonishment. He didn't care about Malfoy's sour attitude their relationship had never been amicable. But what came out of Malfoy's mouth was quite unexpected

"Have you read 'The Little Wizard Mick's Adventures'?"

"No, no way!" Draco immediately denied.

Harry stated with certainty, "You definitely have. Macadamius and the Punching Telescope are both things from the book," he suppressed a smile, "And you've at least read the third volume."

Draco's face darkened abruptly. He opened his mouth several times but couldn't come up with a retort.
