章節 59: Heading To America
Artland spent the remaining time with his family, enjoying time together. Christmas came and passed and Art sent out his gifts to his friends. He bought the twins and Cedric new brooms, which they tried to send back but Art refused.
Nimbus 2001 was one of the best brooms on the market and expensive. The twins were sensitive about money but Art said that he wouldn't get them a gift next year and should just take it.
They both sent Art rare books which he was happy about. Art was now packing for his trip overseas and made a trip to Diagon Alley for new robes. He bought dark blue robes with golden trim. He didn't know if he was going to use Ilvermorny robes for school or his Hogwarts robes so he had to be prepared.
After packing his bags, he went downstairs and found Newt in his kitchen.
"Mr. Scamander! It is good to see you!" Art said with excitement.
"Art! How are you? How's Azura?"
Hearing her name, Azura poked her head out of Art's robes and let out a light hiss. She flew over to Newt and slithered up his arm. Newt inspected her and gave her a treat before passing her back to Art.
"She is very healthy and her growth isn't being stunted. Good job Art." Newt gave him a smile.
"Thank you. She is a very well behaved." Art said, scratching her head.
Azura licked his hand before disappearing into his robes to sleep.
"Amazing." Bella said, watching Azura. "To think that a magical creature lives in my house, besides Art of course."
"I'm not a creature mom." Art complained.
"If you say so dear." she said cheerfully.
Tim remained silent but a small smile appeared on his face.
They all sat down and ate lunch and made small talk. After, Art said his goodbyes and told them to not miss him too much while he was gone.
Giving them a hug, Bella kissed his head while Tim gave him a tight hug.
"I will take care of him." Newt said kindly, shaking Tim's hand. Tim nodded and thanked him while Bella hugged Newt.
Art felt his eyes were a little wet but refused to let them drop as he grabbed Art's hand and Apparated away.
Bella leaned into Tim's chest as he wrapped his arm around her and kissed her forehead.
"He is growing up." he said.
Bella nodded, wiping her eyes.

Fleur was sitting in the luxurious Beauxbaton hall as she ate some breakfast. Gabrielle was sitting next to her, digging through her breakfast like an animal.
"Why are you so hungry?" Fleur asked, brushing off some crumbs from her robes.
"I have a paper that needs to be done." she said with a mouthful of food.
"Ahem, Fleur."
Turning around, Fleur saw Jack standing there with a polite smile.
Fleur ignored him and returned to eating her meal. Gabrielle scoffed at him and wiped her mouth.
"How many no's does it take for you to get the hint." Gabrielle said with scorn.
"I just thought of giving Fleur a Christmas gift." Jack said, ignoring their attitudes.
Fleur still didn't say anything and ignored him.
Jack continued and took out a beautiful necklace with a large sapphire on it. "It is goblin made that I thought you would like. It would look a lot better than that black thing around your neck."
Fleur touched her necklace and a loving smile appeared, she remembered a handsome tall man with piercing gold eyes and a kind smile.
"That necklace was a gift from her love, something that you can't replace." Gabrielle said with a smirk.
Fleur flushed a bit but didn't refute her sister.
Hearing this, the surrounding guy's face turned dark and started to mutter amongst themselves.
Jack's face also turned unsightly, "You are talking about that British bastard? He might have a bit of strength but has no family to rely on and no means to provide a life you deserve."
Fleur's face turned fierce as she turned around. Before she could say anything, a falcons screech rang through the hall. Looking up, Fleur's eyes shone with anticipation because she recognized the bird.
The gyrfalcon landed in front of Fleur and rubbed his head on her face. She laughed and fed it some meat before taking the letter from its leg and the parcel in his talons.
Reading the letter, a bright smile appeared on her face.
"What did Artland say!? Why didn't he said me a letter!?" Gabrielle said, pouting a little.
"He is going to America to attend Ilvermorny." she said, placing the letter down and opened the parcel.
A beautiful necklace appeared with a light blue stone on it. Fleur caressed it gently as she hook it around her neck. She now had two necklaces on and they both added to her beauty.
Jack seemed ready to erupt as he walked his women wear a necklace that wasn't his.
Gabrielle gave him a mocking smile, "See? Love makes you stupid."
Fleur gave her a kick before placing the letter in her robe and walking out of the hall.

Newt and Art appeared in an airport bathroom.
"We are taking a plane?" Art asked surprised.
"Yes. I want to avoid MACUSA for now as I have not the greatest history." Newt said scratching the back of his head.
"You mean when you destroyed half the city with your beasts?" Art said with a laugh.
Newt shot him a look but didn't answer.
"I know it is classified but… is it true that you caught Grindelwald? And that you fought against him during the war?" Art asked curiously.
He had heard rumors and read some old newspaper clippings about Newt that he was a key figure in defeating Grindelwald, even capturing him once.
"That… was a long time ago." Newt said, avoiding the question.
"Well you are lucky I brought my passport." Art muttered.
Together they made their way through customs and boarded a large plane.
"Next stop, America." Art said, watching the plane take off through the window.
"Leaving the beasts alone this long makes me nervous." Newt said, tapping his suitcase.
"Who did you all bring?" Art murmured to Newt.
"Most of them… but they are a bit grumpy being moved back into the briefcase. That is why I want to avoid MACUSA… they won't like me bringing them back." Newt said, holding his suitcase tightly.
"I need one of those." Art said, as Azura tried to peek her head out from his jacket.
Newt laughed, "She is not as bad as the Nifflers. Those greedy buggers tried to ransack anything shiny."
Art agreed and laid his seat back, closing his eyes.
