The one who reached out to help himself up was an old wizard who knew he was old at a glance.

Gray-blue eyes with silver hair looked at Gretel curiously, but the eyes were very gentle, and did not make Gretel feel any discomfort at all.

He was a little skinny, wearing a knee-length gray-black coat and loose casual trousers tucked into his calf-reaching boots.

The boots were so shiny that Gretel even felt like he could reflect his own shadow.

It can be seen that this old wizard is living well.

The last old wizard Gretel saw who took care of himself so meticulously was Dumbledore.

While Glitter was still thinking about how to introduce himself, the old wizard in front of him spoke.

"Well, hello, are you Mr. Mike Gretel?"

His voice was gentler than his eyes, but there seemed to be a subtle hint of tension.

"Yes, McGonagall Gretel, the wizard from England thanks you for your generous help."

Gretel's eyes gradually lit up, and he seemed to know who the person in front of him was.

"Hello, I'm Newt Scamander, and like you, I'm from the UK.

Professor Dumbledore said you will arrive today, I have been waiting for you. ”

Sure enough, the person in front of him, even if he is old, still looks a little introverted, is the author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

In the process of capturing Grindelwald, the master of magical beasts, Newt Scamander, made a great contribution.

Maybe it's because of age, the freckles on the face, which are markers, are not so obvious.

This is also the reason why Gretel did not dare to confirm Newt's identity at first sight.

"That," Newt reached out, pointing to the dust off Gretel's body.

In the wizarding world, if two wizards don't trust each other very much.

In general, no one will point their wand at another person at will, and that usually means a duel.

Glitter said sorry and used a clean cleanup on himself.

"Hello......" Gretel didn't think what to call the wizard in front of him.

Probably seeing his embarrassment, Newt smiled and said, "Mr. Newt or Mr. Scamander, whatever you want, whatever you like." ”

Gretel thought about it for a moment, and felt that he should still hold the thigh in front of him.

"Hello, Dr. Scamander, I'll leave it to you for the next few months, I'll try not to bother you."

Newt smiled, he knew what it meant when dealing with Muggles.

That's right, he specializes in the protection of strange animals, and according to the Muggle world, he can indeed be regarded as a doctor, and even a big name among doctors.

"Then, Mr. Gretel, please come in and rest."

Newt stepped out of the way, revealing the three-story building behind him.

That's when Glitter had time to take a look at his surroundings.

Newt's three-storey building is located in a small village, which should be small, and you can see the edge of the village at a glance from here.

However, it should not be very far from the city.

At the very least, you can see the city's skyscrapers farther away from the horizon.

The yard has the rugged style of the American town, not to mention anything else, it can be seen from the area of the small yard, there is only one characteristic, large.

It's like a town that often appears in Westerns.

In the courtyard wall surrounded by logs, a small wooden building with a red roof and white walls sits alone in the center of the courtyard.

Along the wall, there are many four-light flowers, and several tall red maples sway in the breeze.

From the corner of the house, you can see that there are many fruit trees planted in the backyard, but it is clear that they are not yet ripe, and they are wearing green skins, bathing in the sun.

It seems that they are going to live here for a long time, and on the ground where there are no large plants, several vegetable plots have been cultivated, and many vegetable seedlings have already sprouted.

The shrubs in the corners were also swept clean, and after drying, they were all neatly piled under the shed in the corner of the yard, which should be used as dry firewood.

Newt didn't urge Gretel, just quietly followed him, casually observing him curiously.

Until, from the kitchen of the small building, a gray-haired, but well-groomed head poked out.

"Newt, I said you two, you are going to see when, come in and eat, and there will be time to get acquainted with it later."

Newt scratched his head in embarrassment, but still didn't urge.

"My wife, Polpentina Goldstein." Newt raised his voice, "Tina, wait a minute, we'll be right here and let Gretel finish it."

Professor Dumbledore said that Mr. Gretel was visiting the Americas for the first time, and hoped that I would take good care of him. ”

"I'm sorry, Dr. Scamander, I was rude, I should have visited the mistress first."

From Mrs. Newt's attitude alone, Gretel already knew who was in charge of the family.

Under Newt's embarrassed gaze, Gretel quickened his pace with him and walked into the small red building in the center of the courtyard.

"Hello, Lady Tina, my name is McGonagall Gretel, and I'm from Hogwarts."

Obviously, after living in England for so many years, Gretel has long been considered to have perfected that set of etiquette.

Tina Goldstein's hair is the same natural curls as Newt's, but the waves are a bit larger than Newt's.

Unlike Newt's silvery hair, her hair is only white.

Mrs. Tina's clothes were very homely, and even the apron on her body was not removed.

"Little Gretel, Dumbledore has written I don't know how many letters, every sentence is praising you, come and let me see."

Obviously, compared to Newt, who is socially phobic, Mrs. Tina is a social cow.

After looking at Gretel's whole body, he pulled Gretel and pressed him to his seat.

"Don't be called by Mrs. Madame, if you don't mind, just call me Tina, that's what our grandson calls me, of course, for him."

Tina pointed to Newt, who was taking off his coat on the side, "Don't call him Dr. Doctor, just call him Newt."

You British people are so polite, I was listening to you at home just now, and I almost didn't laugh my teeth out. ”

Glitter really didn't expect that a gentleman from England would marry a lady so boldly.

But how to put it, he likes the atmosphere, the family that he will stay for a few months in the future.

The first impression he had was that it was very harmonious.

——

After a pleasant refreshment, Tina left space for the two wizards, one big and one small, you know, Dumbledore's letter,

But ask Newt to use his talent to help sense the dark side of this little wizard.

Although Newt is socially afraid, he still knows how to get along with this little wizard who is about the same age as his grandson.

Instead of letting Gretel sit still, he offered to show him the magical creatures he had collected and protected over the years.

Lead Gretel down to the basement.

Obviously, the basement also casts a traceless stretching spell, and the environment here does not look cramped.

Lighting and ventilation are also supposed to be achieved by some kind of magic spell.

If he hadn't seen himself walk down the stairs, Glitter wouldn't even realize it was a basement.

When you enter the basement, the first thing you see is a bookshelf full of notes.

A quaint brown desk sits right in the center.

Newt explained that the notes on the bookshelf were all handwritten by him over the years, and related information about the protection of magical creatures.

Gretel looked curiously, he was looking for the number one Grindelwald hate, Newt's good friend, sniffing at the glitter like life.

It wasn't until Newt brought out a suitcase from the corner that he knew it had been used for a long time, and the moment he opened it, a black-and-gray animal burst out of it.

The movement was extremely fast, and he could only vaguely see a ghostly light running around him.

At this time, Newt's warning voice floated faintly, "Gretel, protect your own things." ”

Sure enough, after groping up and down, Gretel found that a few Galleons in his pocket and the school badge on his chest were all missing.
