Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 74: The Aftermath of the Pirates of the Caribbean Story
Newt Scamander is an atypical social phobia patient - this is the result of Lin You's observation.

Anyone who has come into contact with Mr. Scamander knows that this nearly 100-year-old man likes to get along with magical animals more than with people; how comfortable he is with magical animals, how helpless he is when facing their own kind.

Therefore, people would easily attribute terms such as "social phobia" to the old man, but completely ignore his other side.

Newt is not averse to getting along with others and communicating, he just doesn't quite know how to get along with them; his biggest problem is that it is difficult for him to integrate into other people's social rhythms, so in daily communication, others always feel that this old man behaves strangely and is slow to react.

For example, during this visit, the old man began to fidget and absent-minded after just a few words of greeting; but when Lin You suggested that he go to the reserve to see the magical animals, he almost immediately regained his energy and became full of spirit.

But when the old housekeeper proposed to take Miss Minerva with him to complete the unfinished journey in the morning, Newt sternly refused: "No, such a young child must not be allowed to come into contact with highly dangerous magical creatures; even Puffy should not be allowed to come into contact with children alone if no one is watching."

No matter how the old butler tried to persuade Newt, he remained unmoved, making it hard to tell which of the two old men was the master of the house.

Perhaps only after getting to know Mr. Scamander for a long time and becoming familiar with his behavior and thinking habits, people will discover the warm heart beneath his dull appearance.

This warm heart is not only towards magical creatures, but also towards people and society.

As the two old men argued with each other and walked further away, only the young Earl Goff and the old headmaster of Hogwarts were left in the reception room.

"Can you come straight now, Professor Dumbledore? Why did you go all the way around the world to come see me, with Mr. Scamander as your introduction? Is there something you can't wait until I get back to London?"

Lin You's unreserved attitude surprised Dumbledore. He couldn't help but ask, "Have we ever met before, Mr. Earl?"

"No. I've only seen your name in the notes left by my father, along with the names and deeds of many other people. You have a name, what is it called... The Order of the Phoenix?" Lin You pretended to be dumbfounded, "It should be this name, right?"

"Oh, I see." Dumbledore relaxed a little, but at the same time sighed, "I thought you were still young and shouldn't be exposed to so many things."

"Of course, it's not necessary for ordinary children, but it is very necessary for the patriarch of the Forrest family." Lin You smiled, "So I know very well that as the chairman of the International Confederation of Wizards and the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, it is not convenient for you to show that you are too close to a family that openly violates the Statute of Secrecy. If you can put aside your concerns, it must be a very important matter."

Looking at Earl Goff who was talking eloquently, the old headmaster of Hogwarts was full of admiration.

This child is only eight to nine years old, but he is already more mature and wise than many adults. On the other hand, the "savior" who carries the shackles of prophecy is already eleven years old, and we still have to carefully teach him to grow up.

The old headmaster accidentally fell into the anxious thinking of "other people's children". Fortunately, he was still rational and knew that the Forrest family was a unique existence in the wizarding world, and he also understood that children like Blaise de Forest were rare.

"This time, I came here to verify a top-secret file of the British royal family from the Earl." Dumbledore also relaxed at this time and got straight to the point. "It comes from the 18th century during the reign of King George. The clues I got show that this file has been sealed and managed by the Forrest family."

"The archives that our family is responsible for managing must involve magical matters, and there are quite a few of them. Which year and which file are you talking about?"

Dumbledore said, "It is about King George sending explorers to find the Fountain of Youth."

"Oh, the Fountain of Youth! Yes, I know, there is such a file; I have seen it, and I remember it clearly." Lin You's smile was somewhat inexplicable; he did not expect that the butterfly effect of world fusion would begin to appear just a few days after he returned from the Pirates of the Caribbean world. "Can I see the file?" Dumbledore asked.

"It is sealed in the Forrest Manor in London." Lin You said, "But the story recorded in this archive is very exciting. I remember every detail clearly and can tell you orally. I just don't know why you are interested in this event that happened more than two centuries ago?"

"Because of the effect of the Fountain of Youth. I want to know if the legend that the Fountain of Youth can make people immortal is true."

"You don't look like someone who fears death." Lin You pretended to be stupid at the right time.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Oh, I am not afraid of death; if it comes at the right time, I will gladly accept it. I am just worried that if the legend of the Fountain of Youth is true, then it is likely to attract the attention of certain people - some evil people with ulterior motives."

"An evil person who can be taken seriously by Dumbledore? Is his name Grindelwald or Voldemort?"

Dumbledore was startled, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You are very smart, Mr. Earl; but please don't say that person's name casually. Especially in front of other wizards, this habit will scare many people."

"But there are only two of us here, aren't we, Professor?"

Lin You showed a frank and sincere sincerity in front of Dumbledore, which was of course just a disguise.

The gods of the big world all knew that this young body contained an adult soul, so when facing the gods, Lin You also showed the thinking and behavior of an adult. In front of someone like Dumbledore, he was just a wise and precocious child genius. Although his wisdom was not inferior to that of an adult, he still retained the innocence of a child.

"You are right, and I have no need to hide it," Dumbledore said seriously, "I am indeed worried that the magical effect of the Fountain of Youth will be used by Voldemort."

“But both the Ministry of Magic and public opinion in the wizarding world believe that Voldemort is dead, eleven years ago.” Lin You continued to conceal the fact that he knew the plot very well.

Dumbledore shook his head, his expression solemn: "I have recently obtained some disturbing evidence that proves that Voldemort is not only not dead, but is trying every means to make a comeback."

"The way he made a comeback is related to the Fountain of Youth?"

"The Fountain of Youth should be one of the methods he tried."

Lin You pretended to be in deep thought: "The effect of the Fountain of Youth is to change a person's life state and prolong life. Based on this inference, can I think that Voldemort's current life state is problematic, so he wants to get the Fountain of Youth?"

"You are frighteningly clever, Count."
