Wizards of Hogwarts

Late night, Central Park, New York.

This is the largest urban park in New York. During the day, it is usually a leisure and entertainment place for New Yorkers. But at this moment, this world-famous "New York Back Garden" has become an entertainment place for children.

Due to the cold weather, a large pond near the center of Central Park has condensed into an icy lake. A group of children wearing thick cotton coats are skating happily on the ice. They seem to be shuttles one after another. Like a butterfly in the snowflakes, light and lively.

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound from the ice beneath his feet. A boy who had just slipped there accidentally fell down, and a girl slid over to help him.

The two of them had just held their hands together, but at this moment, a faint golden light appeared under the ice, accompanied by an increasingly obvious low rumbling sound.

The children stopped skating one after another and stared at the ice in amazement.

A huge, glowing creature swam across the ice, heading into the distance.

On a quiet street in New York's Diamond Business District.

From the Goldstan apartment, the three people in Eloshir, Newt and Jacob moved forward slowly along this road. Jacob's injury was almost as good. After entering the magic animal rack, and then cured the Matlla rat bitter with the magic pharmacy.

"Is this the best jewelry street in New York?" Elrohir looked at the surrounding shops, which were full of priceless jewelry, diamonds and rare jewelry.

"I'm not sure this is the best one, but I know this is the busiest jewelry street on the way to Central Park." Jacob, the only local among the three, said, "We must go to Central Park The park, isn't it? That's where those magical animals are most likely to go."

"Specifically, it's the place where the Poison Horned Beast is most likely to go." Newt corrected, "We came here just to try our luck and see if we can find the naughty Niffler. Speaking of which, Ello Hill, you should have warned me then, we could have arrested the Niffler at Mr. Kowalski's house."

"But how do I remember that someone told me not to expose any magical animals?" Elrohir raised his eyebrows, "Whether they are those that have escaped or those that have not."

"Well, that's all my fault," Newt said with some self-deprecation, "I shouldn't have gone to the city bank at that time."

"But if that were the case, I wouldn't be able to meet you or see those magical sights." Jacob looked at the suitcase in Newt's hand and still couldn't help but admire.

"Actually, I've been watching you while we were eating, Mr. Kowalski," Newt said. "Everyone likes you, right?"

"Oh" Jacob was a little surprised, and then responded politely, "Well, I'm sure everyone likes you too, right?"

Elrohir acted quietly as a handsome man. After all, an elf like him couldn't understand the feeling of "not being liked", and he couldn't join in this conversation.

"No, I'm actually very annoying." Newt said to Jacob very bluntly.

"Ah, uh." Jacob didn't know how to answer. He was just being polite, but the topic thrown back by the other party couldn't be answered at all.

Newt asked without hesitation: "Why do you want to be a baker?"

Newt's question stirred something on Jacob's mind.

"Well, how should I put it? Because I feel like I'm about to die. Working in a cannery like that, everyone is about to die. The machines in the cannery seem to be able to squeeze human life into the can. You Do you know that feeling? That’s why I want to make my own bread and pastries to make everyone happy." Jacob said a lot of words with deep emotion.

"Mr. Kowalski," Elrohir suddenly said, "I wonder if you have noticed something."

"Well, what?" Jacob looked at Elrohir in confusion.

"Your suitcase, the one Newt took away, you didn't bring." Elrohir reminded, "It is still in the hands of Miss Tina Goldstein."

"Ah, I totally forgot about that" Jacob slapped his forehead hard.

Newt averted his face in embarrassment. If he hadn't gone to the city bank, he wouldn't have met Jacob, wouldn't have exchanged boxes with him, and wouldn't have been in the current situation.

So why did Elrohir mention this matter? Newt felt depressed.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that we will meet two Miss Goldsteins again." Elrohir said as if predicting, "Now, go this way."

Elrohir passed Jacob and walked to the leading position.

"Did you find out what happened?" Newt asked.

"There was a non-human voice coming from that diamond shop." Elrohir pointed to a gorgeous shop on the corner, and then pointed to the wet ground. "Also, there were many scattered trinkets on the ground, which were shiny and shiny. of."

Newt followed Elrohir's gesture and looked at the shop window, and his eyes met with Sniff, who was disguised as a jewelry rack.

A moment's pause.

The sniffing jumped from the shelf, and fell to the ground to disappear.

Newt ran over, pulled out his wand, and pointed at the glass: "Glass shattered finestra."

The window glass shattered into tiny pieces. Newt jumped into the store and hurriedly opened drawers and cabinets one after another, eager to find the Niffler.

Elrohir and Jacob stared wide-eyed on the street, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief. To any outsider, Newt's behavior was undoubtedly an attempt to rob the diamond store.

"Is this how he always behaves?" Jacob asked with his mouth open.

"In fact, this is also the first time I have seen him solve problems with my own eyes." Elrohir said. "It seems that I have exaggerated Newt's magical power before. His social common sense is undoubtedly very lacking, at least he is very Lack of common sense necessary to live in ordinary society.”

"I can't agree anymore." Jacob nodded with difficulty. He recalled all the things that happened after meeting Newt, whether it was performing magic in the bank, opening the bank vault casually, or needlessly carrying something called... It’s easy to see that Newt is actually a weirdo, as he puts it, “very annoying” as he wanders around in the magical beasts suitcases of It’s a Small World.

At this time, Sniffer appeared, climbed up Newt's shoulders from a drawer, and then jumped onto the crystal chandelier above the ceiling.Newt climbed onto the table and jumped forward. He didn't catch Sniff, but grabbed the crystal chandelier, which was hanging in the air and swinging wildly.

"What are we going to do now, pretend we don't know him?" Jacob turned nervously and looked toward the street to see if anyone heard the earth-shattering noise coming from the store.

"It's too late. Four seconds ago, the young lady standing in the public telephone kiosk had dialed a number, and she should be a police officer who saw her mouth." Eloshr said calmly.

"How could you see it so clearly?" Jacob was dumbfounded. "It's almost a block away."

"Talent." Elrohir said succinctly. He was naturally referring to the elf's gifted and keen senses.

In addition, Elrohir did not expect that Newt, who was obviously a wizard, would behave so "clumsily" when capturing a small animal.

Doesn't a wizard who can manipulate people's minds and see into people's hearts have no other good way to catch this Sniff? If he can use magic to break the glass window, why not continue to use magic spells to knock the Sniff out? Or you can summon the Sniff to your hand, or something like that. Even if that doesn't work, you can also create a small cage to trap the Sniff. Doesn't Newt know how to transform?

After all, the crystal chandelier in the jewelry store couldn't bear the combined weight of Newt and Sniff, and crashed to the ground. The sound of thumping kept ringing, and people across the street could hear it. Violent noise.

Elrohir tiptoed, picked up an emerald the size of a pigeon's egg scattered on the ground, weighed it a few times, and then threw it into the store.The emerald drew a straight line in the air at high speed, and accurately hit the head of the Xiu Xiu who was climbing up the jewelry cabinet, and then knocked it unconscious to the ground.

"Newt, come out quickly with this Niffler, we have to go, the police are coming soon." Elrohir said calmly, but his expression became a little strange, "But why are you still here?" There will be a lion coming this way. Do New Yorkers still have the hobby of keeping free-range lions?"
