After Anthony and the others entered the compartment, the middle-aged men also stood up.
One of the middle-aged men held out a hand to Vizet. "Mr. Lovegood, I'm very glad you were able to tell us so much."
"Since you still have things to take care of, we'll go outside and have a look first, then come back later. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Of course!" Vizet shook the middle-aged man's hand. "The only things you might need to watch out for are pets like Pouch Spiders and toads."
"We'll keep an eye out..." the middle-aged man replied with a smile. "Keeping insects and reptiles is only a niche hobby for us. It doesn't really count as anything too unusual."

"Yes. In some ways, Muggles are actually quite daring." Vizet beckoned for everyone to sit down. "So I believe they'll handle these things properly."
"And before you came here, I'd already spoken with them and talked quite a bit about the Hogwarts Express."
Hearing Vizet say that, Hermione blinked. "Vizet, they didn't dig too deeply into the history of this train, did they..."
Vizet shook his head. "They didn't ask much about that. They were more interested in the Magical Snacks."
