Before coming to New York, Amosta had not expected to be welcomed by the Magical Congress of the United States, and the fact that Remus's application had been rejected three times and twice had already shown some problems.

As an unwelcome guest, it was only sensible to keep a low profile and be humble, so Amosta turned a deaf ear to the wizards who surrounded him and Remus's residence.

However, this does not mean that Amosta can tolerate any offensive behavior.

The 'get rid of the stalk' at the hotel was just a joke, and if these people did fall behind their butts and follow them there, Amosta wouldn't mind using some unfriendly means to remind them where the bottom line was.

Near the twin towers of the World Trade Center, towering modern buildings are lined up one after another. This is one of New York's most prosperous commercial areas, full of suit-clad and leather elites, and the roads are full of dazzling luxury cars, Amosta stands on the side of the road, listening to the traffic, his eyes wandering over the towers, feeling a little bit of the 'modern' city he lived in in his previous life.

"Blind Pig Bar--"

Those who were watching them were fairly sensible, and they hadn't followed them since they walked out of the hotel, but Remus still didn't dare to let his guard down, he had already sensed the unfriendliness of the Wizarding Congress's higher-ups towards him and Amosta, so he should have shouldered the safety of both of them in the event that Amosta lost his wand.

Amosta is misunderstood by Amelia in admiring the modern city of No-Maj, and she thinks he can't find his way. Although she did not approve of Amosta going to such a mixed place, she was only responsible for following Amosta and had no right to stop him from going somewhere.

"When I was a student at Ilvermorny, I heard my classmates discuss it, but they didn't give the address."

Out of guilt for an innocent person under surveillance, and admiration for a great magician, Amelia said with a slight apology and shame.

And Amosta was unaware of the subtle change in the expressions of the two people, and he noticed a dense grove not far away, so he beckoned to the two people,

Changing the face is an advanced transfiguration, for safety reasons, Amosta who lost his wand did not do it himself, he let Remus cast spells for himself, and although Amelia is a recent graduate wizard, she is an elite with excellent grades in various classes, and it is not difficult to help herself change her face.

"It's going to look a little better this way."

Remus laughed,

"It's James, of course, I added a little Sirius element, you see, your eyes are gray."

"Let's go, we need to change our faces if we want to go there, if we don't want to be watched like monkeys in a circus."

"A neighborhood in Manhattan."

Then, after a disguise, the three of them can finally set off.

Delivery

Amelia pursed her lips, not knowing how to make sense of Amosta's words, while the corners of Remus's mouth twitched a few times.

"Where do you live, Amelia?"

"Oh, actually,"

What do you mean by looking more pleasing to the eye?!

The corners of Amelia's mouth tensed violently, and her good literacy and strong self-control allowed her to suppress her crazy emotions and not go crazy.

Amosta smiled and reassured Amelia,

"Some friends who have shipped goods have mentioned it to me before."

"It's okay, I know where it is."

"You gave me the same way Harry did?"

Knowing that her clear appearance would be noticeable anywhere, Amelia made her complexion much yellower, some freckles grew on her cheeks, the bridge of her nose was reduced, and the long hair tied to the back of her head became as messy as dead grass when it was scattered.

Taking a taxi is also a relatively new and comfortable way for Amosta and Remus, and in the back of the seat, Amosta asked Amelia with great interest.

Amosta rolled his eyes and said nothing, then he looked at Amelia, and when he saw that stunning face become ordinary, Amosta nodded in satisfaction,

She was the only local of the three of them, and was supposed to be the guide.

Because none of them have been here, they can only use some simple methods, such as a taxi from Maji, which is slow, but convenient for the first time to come to the city and enjoy the scenery better.

When she finished her fake, she looked at Amosta and found that Amosta was taking cold air in front of the water mirror floating in the air, looking like she had a toothache.

It's not polite to ask where others live, Amelia strained her face, but in fact, she didn't reject talking to Amosta about herself,

"I'm from Ifa. I mean, after graduating from school, I was going to move out of the house, but my mom and dad wanted me to live with them because they could see me every day. ”

"You have parents who love you very much."

Amosta bowed slightly, perhaps because of the disturbing matter, for a while, he lost interest in chatting.

As for wizards' bases, the environment is always incompatible with the surrounding No-Maj world.

Unlike the new, clean city that took the three men for more than an hour to reach Grafton Avenue two blocks away, the street where the Blind Pig Bar is located seems to have been forgotten: dirty, decaying pavements littered with garbage and puddles, and cold-toned building walls plastered with faded advertisements and missing person notices. A clutter of wires enclosed the space in a cobweb, and as the three of them walked past an old metal pole, Remus found it crumbling from the rain's corrosion.

"It's not quite the same style as ours, isn't it?"

Amelia, who was not a native of the wizarding world, frowned at what she saw, she didn't believe that any wizard would be willing to stay in such an undignified place, but Remus smiled and said in a brisk voice, referring to the underground world deep in Tumbledown Alley.

Amosta nodded, but didn't echo anything, he looked up at the top of an old-fashioned six-story building beside him, a rain shelter supported by metal brackets.

"Let's go--"

Amosta withdrew his gaze,

"The bar should be on the other side of the street, we have to walk a little way."

The three of them walked slowly through the narrow, messy streets, enduring the smell of foul water on the potholed ground, which Amosta and Remus were accustomed to, and they had both seen worse, except that Amelia always had a skeptical look on her face, thinking that Amosta might be on the wrong track.

When Amosta looked up at the clutter of the buildings on either side for the fourth time, Remus finally came to his senses, and he quickly glanced at the canopy above, his eyes becoming gloomy,

"Someone's eyeing us?"

Amelia's arm trembled, and she was about to pull out her wand.

"Don't be nervous--"

Amosta smiled,

"Not a wizard, I think. Well, probably a cat with too much curiosity. ”

Curious cats?

Amelia bit her lip, unsure if it was a joke, as she had discovered that Amosta Bryne had a bit of a penchant for 'showing' humor.

And Remus didn't let his guard down, he had also been in the underground world for many years, and he knew the style of those wizards.

The three of them are new faces to the land snakes here, and it is not ruled out that there is a possibility that a wizard who wants to make a windfall and attack them.

The silence of the streets deepened Amelia's fears, and she suddenly realized that although Mr. Graves said that if she could see Amosta Bryne, she would have a chance to become an Auror, she had not actually experienced any 'pre-job training' at all.

The work of the Aurors was much more dangerous, and it was not the same thing as working in Mandyna.

"It's here--"

Although he had never been there, Amosta had found his place with precision, and he stopped and faced a narrow alley beside the road, the deepest part of which was a painted wall.

"We're going in."

Immediately afterward, Amosta turned around, looked up again at the swarthy window opening opposite where the sash had completely fallen off, and said with a smile,

"Do you want me to take you in for a bite to eat?"

Meow!

A cat whistle suddenly came from the window of the black hole, and Remus and Amelia's eyes widened in surprise, they didn't expect that Amosta was not joking, there was really a cat following them.

Just as the two of them were startled, a black shadow suddenly flashed from the window hole they were staring at!

The black shadow was extremely fast, and it rose and fell several times on the messy outer hanger pole like lightning, and then swooped down on Amosta.
