Dorset, a lush forest.

It's off the beaten track, except for a beautiful wooden house in the middle of the forest, where Newt Scamander, one of the most famous magical beasts experts in the wizarding world, lives.

In the early morning, a loud roar broke the calm of the forest.

In a tree not far away, a wicked bird poked its head out, and several strange-looking beetles crawled out of several tree holes and climbed in line to another tree hole.

Dobby nervously looked at everything around him, and when he first arrived, he felt a hint of danger inexplicably, and the trembling feeling made it subconsciously want to run away from here.

Fortunately, that kind of thing disappeared quickly, as if it had never existed.

Kyle led it down a cobblestone path, knocked on the door, and entered the cabin.

Newt and Tina had already received the message in advance and were waiting in the room.

"Honey, is this the house-elf you spoke of in your letter?" Tina asked, looking at the two of them.

"Hello, dear lady, my name is Dobby, and I am a free house-elf." Dobby bowed.

"Hello, Dobby, nice to meet you." Tina smiled.

This sentence made Dobby excited, and he quickly bowed, and his long nose was about to touch the floor.

Tina doesn't refuse Kyle to bring a house-elf.

As he said in the letter, Newt is indeed very old, and it would be nice to have another helper.

But Newt himself doesn't think so.

He felt that he was more than capable of taking care of those magical beasts, and he didn't need help at all.

It's a pity that he doesn't have any say in this family, and Tina never asks his opinion from beginning to end.

No, he's still sulking around him...... Again, though, it's useless.

The atmosphere of the first meeting was quite harmonious, and Tina stood up and walked in front of Dobby,

"I've agreed to hire you, and it's your job to take care of some of the more difficult magical creatures."

"No problem, Dobby has also taken care of swallowtails and peacocks before."

Swallowtails?

Peacock?

Tina raised an eyebrow and glanced at Kyle, "Didn't you tell it anything before?" ”

"I said it." Kyle spread his hands, "But it was so excited that it didn't listen." ”

"Forget it......"

Tina waved her hand, and Newt naturally opened the box and placed it on the floor.

"Come with me, I'll take you to see it first." She said to Dobby, "This job may not be what you think, you can decide whether you want to stay or not after reading it." ”

Tina walked into the box.

Dobby was a little unconcerned at first, and even felt that he was being underestimated.

Isn't it just taking care of magical beasts, it's too experienced, and what can be held in a box so big, at most it's kittens and puppies or something.

The swallowtail dog of its former owner would bite it every time, but it was still able to successfully complete a series of tasks such as feeding, bathing, and grooming.

Dobby didn't think of any animal more ferocious than the swallowtailed dog.

These two people are so nice and will give it respect, and the animals they raise must be very docile......

"Oh!"

Just as he was thinking about it, Dobby followed Tina into the box.

In less than a second, it jumped up in fright, and then fell heavily to the ground, and its two little short legs fluttered upside down, rolling and crawling to the corner.

It's the terrible feeling I had at the door again...... This time it's even stronger!

Looking at the countless magical beasts around him, Dobby only felt that his eyes were dark and he almost fainted.

Especially the six-legged cat on the cliff not far away...... No, it's much bigger than a cat.

Whatever it was, in short, staring at those blue eyes, Dobby felt like a turkey about to be sent into the oven, unable to hide any secrets.

Now, it doesn't seem to be the best house-elf anymore.

"Just like you see."

"Your job is to be Newt's assistant and take care of these magical creatures, and that's only a small part," Tina said.

How, do you agree? ”

Dobby's ears moved, what had it just heard......

Not a servant, but a wizard's assistant?

Dobby got up from the ground and stopped shaking his legs.

"Dear Madam, Dobby is willing to be an assistant."

"You have to think it through." Tina glanced at it.

"This is only a small part, and further afield there are fire dragons, sac leopards, and horse-shaped water monsters......

Hearing the fire dragon, Dobby subconsciously shuddered, but still stood there strongly.

"Dobby can, Dobby is not afraid of fire dragons!"

Tina smiled.

In fact, with Newt here, there is no danger here, more of a chore.

Back then, Jacob was free to come and go here for anyone who didn't know magic, let alone a house-elf.

Of course, the premise is that it has passed the level in its own heart, and it can't faint when it sees a fire dragon.

"Then the next step is the salary."

Dobby's eyes lit up.

"How about twenty Galleons a week......" Tina thought for a moment and gave a number.

Dobby sat down on the ground again, frightened, as if the number twenty Galleons seemed to him to be even more terrible than the fire dragon.

"No, no, it's too much." Dobby shook his head again and again, insisting that there should be only one sico a week.

This time it was Tina's turn to frown.

As Scamander's assistant, a Sico a week?

This is for the other wizards to know, and they think that the Scamanders can't afford to pay their assistants!

"One West is absolutely not good, at least ten Galleons!"

Dobby, who had just gotten up, fell to the ground again, and was about to say something more, only to find that Tina had already made a straight face.

Then the matter was settled, and Dobby didn't say a word more.

Kyle silently gave a thumbs up next to him.

True to the Auror who had arrested the "wizarding scourge" and trapped him for more than seventy years, Tina made the poor house-elf have to shut up with just one look and take the salary of ten Galleons a week.

But that sounds so strange, as if the sico is the biggest currency in the wizarding world.

Then there are the other minor problems.

For example, Tina only allows Dobby to work in the box, not without the box.

Especially the biscuit and bread machines in the kitchen, she resolutely did not allow Dobby to get close, not even a step.

Dobby agreed...... Of course, it can't refuse.

The whole time, Newt stood by and didn't say a word, just staring at Kyle faintly.

"Ahem...... I'm doing this for your own good. ”

Kyle was uncomfortable with his gaze and said, "Nicolame has a house-elf butler named Tata, and Professor Dumbledore has more than a hundred elves to help him make tea.

You're friends with them, and you don't have to be gregarious. ”
