Nicholas' home in the face of it, in a remote old apartment somewhere in the suburbs of New York, where he usually entertains some ordinary wizarding friends.

As for the No-Maj friends, well, the U.S. Department of Magic doesn't allow wizards to have too much communication with No-Maji, otherwise the employees of the Ministry of Magic won't mind asking you to go to prison to talk to each other.

The place where the four apparitions appeared was near the old apartment.

Nicholas invites them into the house, locks the door, and a house-elf takes them to another location.

If one tries to find the whereabouts of a few people from a few clues, they will find that Nicholas's home is forbidden to apparitions.

They came to a Texas farm, which was also Nicholas's home, or safe house.

There is not a single household around the farm, and the nearby area has been released to expel the Maj, and it is covered by magic, and if the Maji passes by, you will only see a deserted farm.

As soon as his vision was restored, Albert heard the barking of dogs not far away, and two Jack Russell hounds came running around Albert and Serra, presumably sniffing strangers.

"Swallowtails?"

Albert asked tentatively as he looked at the two Jack Russell hounds in front of him.

The Swallowtail Dog resembles the Jack Russell Hound in appearance, but the tail of the Swallowtail is forked, and wizards will use a painless cutting charm to remove one of its tails in order to prevent the Swallowtail from attracting the attention of the No-Maj.

The two swallowtails in front of him were not cut off, which is why Albert recognized them at a glance.

"Well, they are said to have been bred by English wizards and are extremely loyal to their owners. Catherine crouched down, reached out and scratched the chins of the two slightly fat hounds, and introduced Albert, "This is Caesar, and the other is Sula." ”

"Looks good. "Still, I remember that the United States bans magical creatures!"

"In the past, there were many wizards who were forbidden to raise swallow-tailed dogs because they bit their Noma neighbors. Nicholas said with a smile, "Still, as long as the Ministry of Magic doesn't know." ”

In a place where this kind of bird doesn't, and there are no hemp chickens around, the US Ministry of Magic naturally can't know about it, so naturally it can't control him.

As long as he doesn't get into any big trouble, even if he is discovered by the Ministry of Magic, he will be fined some money at most, and he Nicholas has money.

"What method do you use to deliver letters?" Albert asked curiously, "the postman?"

"The owl is getting attention. Catherine said helplessly, "If the No-Maj sees an owl flying into a house on a regular basis, it will arouse suspicion." ”

"Hmm. Albert could understand how the owl who sent the letter looked suspicious, "Therefore, the U.S. Department of Magic simply forbids the breeding of magical creatures." However, the relationship between the American wizarding community and No-Maj is very bad. ”

"Well, it's bad. "It's about the history of the United States." ”

"No wonder American wizards have to hide like mice. Albert suddenly asked, "If there is a wizard in the No-Maj, what will the Ministry of Magic do?"

"This probability is very rare, because the American wizarding world does not allow wizards to marry with No-Maj. Catherine thought for a moment and said, "If you encounter it, you will be forcibly sent to the Ilvermorny Academy of Magic." ”

"It's not free at all, and it's not Lord. Albert shook his head.

If anything, the United States is a beacon of freedom and democracy.

Catherine was silent, and she could hear the mockery in Albert's words.

It seems that this Mr. Anderson had a bad impression of the United States, and like the other members of Wildsmith, he was never willing to come to the United States a second time.

"Actually, there will be a small number of No-Maj wizards who will follow their families out of the United States and go to other schools. Catherine whispered.

The remainder will be separated from their families and attended the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with the help of the U.S. Ministry of Magic.

After graduating, you can support yourself.

Well, his parents would think their child was dead.

However, because Rappaport law prohibits intermarriage, tragedies are unlikely to occur.

Nicholas's home is not as good as Albert imagined, and it is too modern!

Unlike most wizarding families, Nicholas's house was not full of experimental equipment, but a lot of modern furniture, such as refrigerators, electric fans, televisions, radios, typewriters, and comfortable leather sofas in the sunroom, and the house-elves gave them a cup of mint honey lemon tea and a delicate refreshment at the first time.

Well, an old man who will enjoy life.

"So, that thing out there is really a wind engine?"

Albert turned his head to look out the window, and farther away from the house, there were a few strange things that looked like hair dryers, which he had just thought were strange, and when he saw the appliances, he probably figured out what was going on.

"You know these things!" Nicholas was a little surprised, he had the impression that English wizards should be very new to "No-Maj".

"It is said that magic interferes with electrical appliances. ”

"There is indeed such a saying. Nicholas nodded, "Actually, except for the kind of places filled with powerful magical magnetic fields, ordinary electronic products can still be used normally. Otherwise, wouldn't the Majs in the Woolworths building of the U.S. Department of Magic be unable to use electrical appliances?"

The alchemist has a knack for magical magnetic fields and electrical appliances.

"Makes sense. Albert nodded, "To be honest, I'm also interested in how the U.S. Department of Magic transformed the Woolworths building into two sides. ”

As long as the Woolworths Building casts the right spell, it converts into a space for wizards.

"It's a big and troublesome project, and ordinary wizards can't do that. Nicholas sat on the couch and smiled as he introduced them to their other pet, Lyra.

Well, a raccoon.

This was the first time Albert had seen a raccoon, with very large ears and a tail like a lion's tail, and it was said that the raccoon cat was very intelligent and could distinguish between good and bad guys.

It just glanced lazily at Albert and Serra, and then continued to nap on the couch, allowing Catherine to put it on her lap and brush it.

Catherine found out that her grandfather was fond of the boy named Albert, and since they arrived, they had been chatting passionately about the magic field and the No-Maj electrical appliances, as well as the establishment of the U.S. Ministry of Magic.

They were talking about very jerky topics, and she could only listen to them, but the Mr. Anderson seemed to understand, and he could ask questions, and the most mundane words she heard were the Advanced Concealment Charm.

Catherine even had the absurd illusion that she had just entered school.

Soon, the topic drifted away, somehow talking about the origin of the Woolworth Building, and then to the moving history of the Ministry of Magic in the United States.

The U.S. Ministry of Magic's location in the Woolworths building is actually a complete tragedy, moving from Philadelphia to Washington and then to what is now New York, and has moved five times since the establishment of the Ministry, and the Ministry of Magic has been trying to stay away from the political center of No-Maj.

It's a pity that when they moved from Washington to New York, the political center of the American No-Maj also changed from Washington to New York.

However, due to the historical reasons of the United States, most wizards and No-Maj are foreigners, and the two sides do not trust each other, and even hostile to each other, so the unique political system of the United States Ministry of Magic has been formed, which is very different from other wizarding circles, and it is also the reason why few wizards return to the United States.

If you go to the United States and do not register with the Ministry of Magic and have a wand permit, you will become an illegal outsider and possess a wand illegally.

Once caught by the Aurors, it means that prison and fines await you.

It's not for nothing that the U.S. Department of Magic's prisons are always overcrowded.

That's why Serra brought him over from France and not to the United States by other means.
