Wizards of Hogwarts

Chapter 18 Sniff was caught and Jacob ran away

A vault on the ground floor of the bank.

Newt and Jacob suddenly apparated past tellers and security guards on a narrow staircase that led to the bank's vault door.

Kaka ding ding

A small bird's beak drilled through the silver egg from the inside. Tiny eggshell fragments fell from Jacob's palm, and fell to the ground with a slight sound of gold and stone. It seemed that what fell was not the eggshell, but the eggshell. What silver pieces.

"Chi chi chi chi chi" the little bird snake started to say hello to the "mom" it saw for the first time.

Jacob looked at all this at a loss. He couldn't figure out how he suddenly arrived here from the hall, and he didn't recognize the little monster with a bird's head and a snake's body that hatched from the silver egg.

Jacob stared at the little bird and snake's eyes for a while, then turned his head and looked down the stairs at the bank hall above, and said to himself: "I was there just now, right?"

Newt gently took the egg from Jacob's hand, and then led the bird and snake down the stairs to a flat area.

He leaned down, opened the box, carefully put the newly hatched bird snake inside, and whispered softly: "Jump in quickly."

Jacob couldn't figure out what this mysterious and weird British gentleman was doing. He moved from the stairs and suddenly heard the voice of a young, strange, magnetic man.

"Where are you now, Newt?" The voice seemed to come from inside the box, "Dougal seemed to have taken one of his children to find you, right? The bird and snake have already hatched."

"I'm in a bank now." Newt responded to Elrohir's question.

"Bank Wizard Bank Wizard Do you still have a bank?"

"Yes, Gringotts, but I'm not in a wizarding bank now, I'm in a Muggle bank." Newt looked up and saw the culprit, Sniff, squeezing his body through the crack of the locked door and getting in. In the central vault at the back.

"This is absolutely not okay." Newt pulled out his wand and pointed at the vault.

"What's not working"

"I'll explain to you later, Elrohir, now comes the critical moment." Newt closed the box and then cast magic on the vault door, "Alaho opens."

The iron locks and gears of the vault began to rotate, and under the influence of magical magic, the door of the vault opened immediately.

At the same time, the piercing alarm sounded.

Jacob looked at Newt helplessly, and then looked up. He felt that the security guards were coming down, and the rapid footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Newt quickly rushed into the vault, and when he got inside, he found the abominable Niffler among hundreds of open safes, sitting on a pile of U.S. dollars stacked up like a hill.

Sniff stared at Newt provocatively, and at the same time, he stuffed a gold bar into his already very bulging abdominal pocket.

Newt immediately stepped forward, grabbed Sniff tightly, turned it over head-down, and shook it by its two hind legs.

A large amount of gold and silver jewelry fell from that inconspicuous belly pocket, it was endless, the amount was surprising.

Jacob looked around in disbelief. The overwhelming fear and nervousness made his stomach churn, and he felt like he was about to vomit.

Newt shook Xiu Xiu's body vigorously again, and found that this method was almost ineffective, so he began to scratch Xiu Xiu's belly, letting more coins and jewelry fall out.

Suddenly, several uniformed security guards with guns ran down the stairwell and rushed into the vault corridor.

Jacob immediately panicked and shouted at the group of security guards: "Oh, no, don't shoot, don't shoot."

Newt gave up on the "property seizure" of the Sniff, quickly grabbed Jacob's clothes from behind, took the Sniff and the box, and started to apparate together.

Several surprised security guards stepped forward and waved their hands in the air where Newt and Jacob had just been standing, but there was nothing, only a messy bank vault on the ground.

A deserted alley next to the bank.

There was a loud crackling sound, and Newt and Jacob successfully apparated in this alley.Because it's not far away, the security alarm sound coming from the bank can be heard here.

At the end of the alley, a large number of people are gathering. No matter which world it is, it is people's nature to watch the excitement.And the police slowly arrived here. Bank robberies are always big cases.

After experiencing two consecutive Apparitions in a short period of time, Jacob was a little unsteady on his feet, almost lying on the wall beside him, still moaning, and his suitcase filled with homemade bread was also He threw it casually to the ground.

Newt desperately tried to put the Sniffler back into the box: "I'm warning you for the last time, the nasty guy who loves to steal things is not yours, so don't hold on to it with your paws."

Newt slammed the box shut and turned to look at Jacob.

"I'm terribly sorry about that, Mr. Strange Muggle," Newt said.

Jacob said angrily: "What kind of trick are you doing?"

Newt said: "You don't need to worry about anything, but unfortunately, you see too many things, so if you don't mind, please stand still, just for a moment, I will be there soon."

Newt turned his back to Jacob, trying to sneak his wand out.

Jacob seized the opportunity, picked up a box on the ground, and swung it hard towards Newt.

Newt, who was unaware, was knocked to the ground by him.

"I'm sorry" Jacob shouted sorry and ran for his life in a hurry.

Newt sat on the ground for a while covering his head, looking at Jacob's back. He hurriedly ran through the alley, and when he was about to join the crowd, he deliberately pretended that nothing happened and ran briskly across the road. .

"Trouble." Newt whispered as he got up from the ground.

Tina, who had been observing the situation from above, walked decisively along the alley.

Newt was about to leave pretending to be innocent, but Tina held his arm down, and the two of them disapparated again.

Not far away is another narrow brick alley.

Tina apparated here with Newt, she was a little out of breath.

After taking a few breaths, Tina asked Newt, her voice full of anger: "Who are you?"

Because she was too angry, Tina's voice became a little too high-pitched, like a middle school girl losing her temper, which also caused Newt not to understand what she said.

So he asked, "Sorry, what did you say?"

Tina took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said again: "Who are you?"

This time Newt heard clearly and replied: "Newt Scamander, who are you?"

Tina ignored his words and continued to ask as if examining a prisoner: "What is in your box?"

Newt pretended to be relaxed and replied: "That's my Niffler."

Tina frowned, she didn't know what a sniffer niffler was.

Newt pointed to the hot dog mustard still on Tina's lips and said, "Well, there's something on yours."

Tina interrupted Newt: "You let that thing loose in a bank."

"I didn't mean it." Newt defended himself, "It always refuses to change. As long as it's something shiny, Sniff will do it."

Tina once again interrupted Newt: "You have to let the creature escape at this juncture. You really know how to choose the right time. There is a state of emergency here, and I want to take you away."

Newt asked, "Where are you taking me?"

Tina took out a magic ID from her pocket, which had photos of her activities and an eye-catching American eagle logo: macusa.

Tina said with some pride: "The Magical Congress of the United States of America."

Newt immediately became a little nervous. He didn't expect that he would be so "lucky". The first wizard he met was working at MACUSA.

"So, what exactly do you do for MACCA? Do you count it as an investigator?"

Tina hesitated and mumbled a few words: "Ah, um."

Former Auror Tina Goldstein stuffed her ID back into her coat pocket and changed the subject: "At least you took care of that No-Maj."

Newt asked: "What is that?"

Tina was a little shocked and became anxious: "That No-Maj nomaj doesn't know magic and is not a wizard."

Newt said, "Well, sorry, we call them Muggles over there."

Tina asked worriedly: "His memory has been erased by you, right? That No-Maj who ran away with the box?"

"Yeah" Newt didn't answer directly, avoiding Tina's eyes in embarrassment.

Tina understood the subtext of this action, and then said weakly: "According to Article [-], paragraph [-], Mr. Scamander, I have the right to take you away by force."

She grabbed Newt's arm and the two disapparated again.
