Newt was surprised that some parents came to Scamander Zoo over the weekend with their children who weren't yet old enough to go to Hogwarts.

"There's nothing mysterious," Roy explained to him, "and that's what our propaganda has done." The zoo is a great attraction for children, and there is no shortage of students who attend Hogwarts with younger siblings or relatives who have younger children.

If they mention the zoo in their letters to their families, it may attract parents to visit with their children, which may not be too much, but it is a stable way of promoting it and does not require special investment. That's the benefit of direct-to-student. ”

The whole zoo is the initial stage of operation, just attract the customers of the Hogwarts series, the biggest target of the zoo is still children, at this stage there is no need to advertise in the pre-home daily newspaper, the cost is not much profit.

The population of the wizarding world has limited the upper limit of all sales income for wizards, especially for children, although it is said that children's money is easy to earn, but there are so many children, even if the entire Hogwarts comes to the zoo five times a year, the number of visitors is not much, it is foreseeable that the zoo will gradually develop in the future, and the majority of its profits will have to be the by-products produced in the process of breeding magical creatures, as well as Newt's manuscript fees.

It's impossible to make a lot of money by selling a random GWENT card or something. The reason why the future Weasley joke shop was popular was due to Voldemort's comeback and the sluggish atmosphere in the entire wizarding world, even adults needed a little relaxation, so their goods would be bought by adults in addition to students, and more than half of the shops in Diagon Alley were closed at that time, and there was very little competition.

During this period, they even received orders from the Ministry of Magic to sell armor such as hats against evil spells, otherwise they would be at the level of ordinary shops in Diagon Alley.

Newt doesn't care about making money from tourists, he just wants a place where magical creatures can be raised openly and let others come and admire them voluntarily.

Seeing someone take the initiative to come to the zoo and appreciate the charm of magical creatures with him is already satisfying.

But unexpectedly, a few days later, Roy brought him two more people.

A dull, pale, plain-looking witch with two eyes staring in opposite directions, and a little black-haired baby in her arms.

"This is Merope Gaunt, one of the few remaining descendants of the Gaunt and Slytherin families." Roy introduced, "When I went out, I met her who was down, just in time for her to give birth, if it weren't for the use of a lot of medicine, I guess I wouldn't even be able to save my life." Newt, it's inconvenient for you to see the party, let's hire one more person?

Inherited from Slytherin's Parseltongue abilities, she can help you deal with snake-type magical creatures.

This is her son, Tom Marvolo Riddle. ”

Roy wouldn't tell him that he had put demons under surveillance in several orphanages in London, just waiting for Merope to come to the door.

Merope had been rough with her father and brother, and when they were imprisoned in Azkaban for assaulting Muggles and Ministry of Magic, she was finally able to free her nature and use an aphrodisiac to confuse the neighbor's handsome young master, Tom Riddle, and elope away with him.

After becoming pregnant, he stopped the aphrodisiac because he believed too much in the "love" he had created, and the frightened Tom fled in embarrassment, and the devastated Merope was in high spirits, and even couldn't use magic well, so he planned to find an orphanage in despair, and died after giving birth to a child, and Roy, who had long monitored the orphanage, "just happened" to pass by, poured a few bottles of healing potions, and took her to St. Mungo's Hospital to give birth to a child, and then led her to Scamander Zoo.

Europeans don't go to confinement, so although Merope looks boring, she can still hold her son and act together.

"Parseltongue? It's a rare ability, and if so, it's a useful talent, Ms. Gaunt, and please join our team! ”

Newt was very happy, he only thought about magical creatures and zoos, and was not at all affected by the rumor that "Parseltongue is a dark wizard", which has been circulating for a long time and has no longer been known.

And he was very sensible and did not ask why the child he was holding was surnamed Riddle, but the mother's surname was Gaunt, and it was not changed to the husband's surname.

It's not that Newt doesn't have emotional intelligence, it's just that he's too shy, and if he's not careful, he'll enter a semi-autistic state, and his emotional intelligence skills won't be used.

Roy brought Merope's mother and son here, naturally to see the future Voldemort and study the Parseltongue.

Unlike other spells, this innate ability is very similar to the protector, and it can hardly be acquired, of course, if you use snake language as a foreign language, you can learn a sentence or two, but even if you can say a word or two snake language, you can't understand snake speech, and the magic ability of the parseltongue is still very magical.

The Parseltongue has a strong ability to suppress snakes by nature, and can directly give orders to snakes.

Moreover, the Parseltongue cavity will also have an effect on Nagini's snake state, and even in the original timeline, Nagini became Voldemort's pet and Horcrux. Roy wants to set up a safety policy for Nagini, if he is ordered by the orthodox Parseltongue to "transform into a human" in the snake state, he may be able to transform back.

While Roy settles down with Merope and Voldemort the milk, the Tina sisters are discussing their itinerary.

"Queenie, my leave is about to expire, and I'm going back to the United States in a few days, do you want to come with me?"

"No, Tina, I'm going to stay here, work here, earn no less than the wand permission office, and have a lot of freedom."

"But there are a lot of people in the zoo, and you hear a lot of hearts, won't it be noisy?" Queenie is a natural legilimens who reads minds to others uncontrollably, so she has been looking for a clerical job with relatively little contact with people.

"It's okay, I can't hide all my life, I always have to be in contact." Queenie said nonchalantly.

"You...... That Jacob won't stay in England too, will he? Tina asked suspiciously.

Queenie's face turned red all at once. "He's going to stay, but it doesn't matter if I stay...... It's not entirely unrelated...... Okay, okay, anyway, I'm going to stay! What about you, or you should stay in England too, what's the good of staying in the United States, you don't even know when Newt was snatched away by someone else! ”

Since the American Magical Association prohibits wizards and Muggles from contacting, and the British side can ensure that witches are not exposed to the public, a small number of people who know about it are not forbidden, and after working in the zoo with Jacob for half a month, the two who love each other have the idea of emigrating.

This time it was Tina's turn to blush.

"What are you talking about?"
