โSadly, I am not a magical creature so that I would be a great Niffler...โ
He said, chuckling and covering his mouth, trying to hide his little chuckle as he waited for the elevator to move.
Potter couldnโt help but laugh at his remarks.
โ โ
โ People and magical creatures are not the same . . . Creatures do not judge me or treat me badly. โ
โ โ He understands that Harry wishes to offer him advice but he will never stop feeling more at ease with creatures.
โ โ
โNot really, I honestly just think
you need to think of people like magical creaturesโฆ
Some need different types of energy and ways to speak, I reckon. โ
He said it, trying to use some words from his book as context for his own lesson, as he closed the gate and went inside.
โ โ
โ I โ m not good with people, I โ m better with magical creatures. โ
โ โ People overwhelm him a bit.โ
โ
โ I โ ve been told that I โ m insufferable. โ
โ โ
โNewt, I think you should talk to your wife about presenting people.โ
He said it so innocently as we approached the elevator, before Harry got inside and held the gate just for him.
โ Newt, I think the receptionist
gets it now.. โ
He said tugging in his shoulder a little bit before looking around seeing if he could find his wifeโฆ
He adjusted his robe as he waited to go inside.
Potter blinks slowly
like a frog blinking to figure out what was going onโฆ
โ as he sees a sign-up form and signs it himself before handing it to the receptionistโฆ
โHere, madam, apologies for the surprise. โ
He says, sounding rather apologetic, like a little owl.
โ โ
He steps between Harry and the receptionist.
โ โ โ Aah . . . Harry James Potter; he โ s only here as a guest. I โ ll take responsibility for him. โ
โ โ
Potter, embarrassed, just waved a bit awkwardly, as if he hadn't gotten any oxygen and was a clueless cow.
โ โ Hello.. โ
He said in a low voice, as if he was guilty of something.
โ โ
Following protocol, the receptionist had to ask who was looking for Tina.
โ โ โ Newton Artemis Fido ScamanderโโI am Porpentina โ s husband. โโ
โ
He tried to avoid mentioning Harry but the woman saw him.
โ โ
He perked up as we reached the reception deskโฆ
โ trying to make himself look presentable as he looked at the reception desk like a fish out of waterโฆ
Trying to avoid eye contact so people wonโt know who he was.
โ โ
โ I found out what happened. โ
โ โ He sighs and moves quite close to the reception desk.โ
โ
โ Hello, I โ m here to see Auror Porpentina Scamander. โ
โ โ
โ probably โ but the last time I had
the international world on me..
Dislike me from the championships and Cedric โ โ
He stopped for a second before adjusting himself to be more proper, then waddled with him to the front desk.
โ โ
โ The whole magical world knows you but don โ t worryโโI โ ll make sure things don โ t descend into chaos. โ
โ โ Then he leads the way; his intention is to go straight there to ask about his wife.
โ โ
โOf courseโฆ letโs hope I donโt have any fans hereโฆ
Dealing with that and my reputation might be a headacheโฆ
He said, wearing normal muggle clothes, a black cloak followed by a crimson vest, as he followed him.
โ โ
They arrived in New York quite quickly; he began walking toward the American Ministry of Magic.
โ โ โ Rightโโyou โ re my responsibility, since you โ re a student and clearly not from Ilvermorny. โ
โ โ
โ I will ask about it later, but โ โ
Before he could speak, the Portkey, with a mind of its own, suddenly teleported both of us. It felt like a rollercoaster, swinging back and forth, before silence.
