Chapter 335 The Unsociable Newt
Dorset, a lush forest.
There are few people here, only a beautiful wooden house in the middle of the forest, in which Newt Scamander, a famous expert on magical animals in the magic world, lives.
In the early morning, a burst of explosion broke the calm of the forest.
On a tree not far away, a witch poked its head out, and several strange-looking beetles crawled out of several tree holes, and climbed into another tree hole in a line.
Dobby nervously looked at everything around him. When he first arrived here, he felt a sense of danger inexplicably. The trembling feeling made him subconsciously want to escape from here and run far away.
Fortunately, that quickly disappeared, as if it had never been there.
Kyle took it along a cobbled path, knocked on the door and walked into the cabin.
Newt and Tina had received the news in advance and were waiting in the room.
"Honey, is this the house elf you mentioned in your letter?" Tina looked at the two and asked.
"Hi, dear lady, my name is Dobby, and I'm a free house elf." Dobby bowed.
"Hello, Dobby, nice to meet you." Tina smiled.
This sentence made Dobby agitated, and he quickly bowed and saluted, his long nose almost touching the floor.
Tina didn't say no to Kyle's offer to bring a house-elf.
As he said in the letter, Newt is indeed very old, and it would be nice to have an extra helper.
But Newt himself didn't think so.
He felt that he was perfectly capable of taking care of those magical animals and didn't need help at all.
It's a pity that he doesn't have any say in this family, and Tina never asked his opinion from the beginning to the end.
No, until now he is still sulking beside him... Although it is also useless.
The atmosphere of the first meeting was quite harmonious, Tina stood up and walked in front of Dobby,
"I agree to hire you, the job is to take care of some difficult magical animals."
"No problem, Dobby has taken care of swallowtail dogs and peacocks before."
Chow dog?
Peacock?
Tina raised her eyebrows 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."
"never mind……"
Tina waved her hand, and Newt naturally opened the box and put it on the ground.
"Come with me, I'll take you to have a look first." She said to Dobby: "This job may be different from what you think. You can decide whether to stay or not after reading it."
Tina stepped into the box.
Dobby didn't care at first, and even felt that he was underestimated.
Isn't it just taking care of magical animals? It's too experienced, and what can be contained in such a big box is at most kittens and puppies.
The swallow-tailed dog of its previous owner would bite it every time, but it could still complete a series of tasks such as feeding, bathing, and grooming smoothly.
Dobby didn't think any animal could be more fierce than the swallow-tailed dog.
These two people are so good, and they will give it respect, and the animals they raise must be very docile...
"Oh!"
Just as he was thinking, Dobby followed Tina into the box.
In less than a second, it jumped up in fright, and then fell heavily on the ground, its two short legs tossed and rolled, and hid in the corner.
It was that horrible feeling at the door again... This time it was stronger!
Looking at the countless magical animals around him, Dobby felt his eyes go dark and almost fainted.
Especially the six-legged cat on the cliff not far away... No, it's much bigger than a cat.
Whatever it was, Dobby felt like a turkey about to be put in the oven, stared into by those deep blue eyes, with no secrets to hide.
Now, he doesn't seem to want to be the best house-elf any more.
"As you can see."
Tina said: "Your job is to be Newt's assistant and take care of these amazing animals, and that's just a small part of it.
How about it, do you agree? "
Dobby's ears moved, what did he hear just now...
Not a servant, but a wizard's assistant?
Dobby got up from the ground, his legs stopped shaking.
"Dear madam, Dobby is willing to be an assistant."
"Think clearly." Tina glanced at it.
"This is only a small part. There are fire dragons, poison leopards, and horse-shaped water monsters in farther places..."
Hearing the fire dragon, Dobby shivered subconsciously, but he still stood there forcefully.
"Dobby can, Dobby is not afraid of fire dragons!"
Tina smiled.
In fact, with Newt around, there wasn't any danger here, more of a chore.
Back then, Jacob, who didn't know magic, could come and go here freely, let alone house elves.
Of course, the premise is that it has passed the test in its own heart. It is not okay to faint from fright after seeing a fire dragon.
"Then the next step is salary."
Dobby's eyes lit up.
"How about twenty Galleons a week..." Tina thought for a moment before giving a number.
Dobby sat on the ground again, he was frightened, as if in his view, the number of twenty Galleons was more terrifying than a fire dragon.
"No no, it's too much." Dobby shook his head again and again, and insisted on only one Sickle a week.
This time it was Tina's turn to frown.
A Sickle a week as Scamander's assistant?
Let the other wizards know this, thinking that the Scamander family can't afford the assistant's wages!
"One west is absolutely not acceptable, at least ten Galleons!"
Dobby, who just got up, fell to the ground again. Just as he was about to say something, he found that Tina had already put on a serious face.
Then the matter was settled, and Dobby didn't say another word.
Kyle silently extended his thumb beside him.
As expected of the Auror who once arrested the "Magic Scourge" and trapped him for more than 70 years, Tina made the poor house elf shut up with just one look, and received ten Galleons a week. salary.
But why does this sound so strange, as if Sickle is the biggest currency in the magic world.
Then there are other little problems.
For example, Tina only allows Dobby to work in the box, but not outside the box.
Especially the biscuit and bread machines in the kitchen, she was determined not to allow Dobby to get close, not even a step.
Dobby agreed... Of course, it couldn't refuse.
During the whole process, Newt stood aside, didn't say a word, just stared at Kyle quietly.
"Ahem...I'm doing this for your own good too."
Kyle was uncomfortable seeing him, and said: "Nicole May has a house elf housekeeper named Tata, and Professor Dumbledore has more than 100 elves to help him make tea.
You and them are friends, you have to fit in. "
