Xiwen looked at the man in front of him, who was carrying an old-fashioned brown leather briefcase and had a slightly shy expression, and felt a strange sense of familiarity with this image.

"Yes, I am Xiwen Rozier. And you are?" Xiwen asked.

"Looks like I didn't pick the wrong person." The man with the messy brown hair seemed relieved and said, "My name is Newt Scamander."

Upon hearing his name, Xiwen froze, then asked in surprise, "You're Mr. Scamander?"

No wonder this figure looked familiar; it turns out this is none other than Newt Scamander, the most unique and respected Magizoologist in the Wizarding World today!

Xiwen chatted with Professor Kettleburn quite a bit at Hogwarts, and Mr. Scamander was the character the professor mentioned most often.

Professor Kettleburn spoke highly of Mr. Scamander's extensive research and rescue of Fantastic Beasts, often with a hint of envy.

"I've heard so much about you, Mr. Scamander! Professor Kettleburn often mentions you to me," Xiwen said. He had no idea that the friend Dumbledore letter was this very famous figure.

"Silvanus was an excellent Magizoologist, and we've always kept in touch," Newt said softly, a hint of nostalgia in his voice. "He also provided a great deal of help with the writing of my books."

Looking at this Magizoologist, Xiwen suddenly thought of the uniquely capable Little Cat whose breed even Professor Kettleburn hadn't fully figured out.

"It's a pity I didn't bring my cat home, otherwise I could ask you to help me identify her breed," Xiwen said regretfully.

"You mean that cat that has both Cat-Leopard- leopard and Zouwu blood?" Newt's eyes suddenly lit up as he asked excitedly.

Xiwen was surprised by his reaction and paused for a moment before replying, "Ah, yes."

"So you're the little wizard who keeps that cat," Newt said with a smile. "Silvanus wrote to me before asking about the Zouwu, and he briefly told me about some of the special features of your Little Cat."

"Incredible! There really is a creature capable of simultaneously retaining two magical properties perfectly!" he exclaimed. "It's a pity I can't see her in person right now."

"Well, if you really want to see him, perhaps it's not impossible," Xiwen said after a moment's hesitation.

"Then bring her over quickly!" Newt said. Then, seemingly realizing this was inappropriate, he added, "I mean, can we bring her over?"

Xiwen smiled knowingly, then pretended to take out a mirror and pretended to be Two-way Mirror, and began to talk to the mirror.

In reality, the mirror was just a decoy. At this moment, Ghost Xiwen silently took action.

Practice has proven that even when separated by half England, the body and Soul Body can still instantly sense the situation on the other side. This gives Xiwen a lot of room for maneuver.

For example, right now, Ghost Xiwen has sneaked into the Slytherin dormitory and found the Little Cat sleeping with its eyes half-closed in its cat cage.

"Little Cat, do you want to go out and play?" Ghost Xiwen asked, leaning down.

The Little Cat seemed impatient with being woken up by someone, and quickly wagged her tail, making a slapping sound as she patted the small blanket inside the cat cage.

Seeing that the Little Cat ignored him, Xiwen tried a different approach, coaxing, "Aren't you tired of playing near the castle every day? You can find Xiwen at King's Cross Station!"

Upon hearing the familiar name "Xiwen," the Little Cat finally raised its eyelids and casually glanced at the transparent person who had no scent.

"By the way, do you know where King's Cross Station is?" Xiwen suddenly realized the problem; after all, the Little Cat's eyes were closed back then. And after so long, could her little brain really remember such a complicated name?

However, the Little Cat glanced at him disdainfully upon hearing his words, stood up, shook its fur, and then vanished in an instant.

At the entrance of King's Cross Station, Xiwen was worried that the Little Cat might have wandered off to the wrong place.

Suddenly, a space outside the station began to distort!

In the distorted air, a Little Cat hopped out, looking at Xiwen and his companion with a blank expression.

However, before Xiwen and Newt could rejoice, the surrounding crowd suddenly erupted in commotion!

The massive crowds in front of King's Cross Station caused many Muggle in the vicinity to witness spatial distortions and Little Cat emerging from the air, suddenly making things complicated.

"Oh no, how could I have forgotten about that?" Xiwen rubbed his forehead.

Newt, having recovered from his initial excitement at seeing the Little Cat, instinctively drew his wand, intending to cast Memory Charm. However, looking at the large crowd around him, he felt somewhat at a loss...

Just when things reached a stalemate, several people in formal attire rushed out of the station.

The leader of the group shouted, "What happened? Who broke the rules and used magic in front of Muggle?"

"I'm sorry, sir." Xiwen secretly bent down and hugged the Little Cat to his arms, then apologized. "It's my fault for causing this trouble."

"Did you violate the rules by using magic?" the man in formal attire asked, looking at Xiwen's youthful face with suspicion.

Just as Xiwen was about to explain, Newt stepped forward and said, "Mr. Shafiq, something went wrong with our Fantastic Beasts, and I can take responsibility."

"Mr. Scamander?" This Mr. Shafiq clearly knew Newt, and when he heard that it was Newt's Fantastic Beasts that caused the problem, he showed an expression of knowing agreement.

Mr. Shafiq smiled and said, "That won't be necessary. Mr. Scamander has helped the Ministry of Magic a lot, so it's only right that we help you out."

Mr. Shafiq then directed his staff to erase the Muggle's memories of the Muggles.

After the Ministry of Magic staff left, Xiwen looked at Newt and said with some guilt, "Mr. Scamander, it was really my oversight that caused you to bear this responsibility..."

"It's alright!" Newt shook his head and said with a smile. "I have an older brother in the Ministry of Magic; he's the Head of the Auror Office. So those people in the Ministry of Magic won't give me any trouble."

"As for you, it was because I wanted to see your cat that you called her over. I am responsible for this, so you don't need to feel guilty."

After Newt's gentle persuasion, Xiwen finally calmed down and let out a long sigh of relief.

The two then said goodbye to Mr. Shafiq and walked together into King's Cross Station.

"So we're still going to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters?" Xiwen asked.

"Platform Nine and Three-Quarters won't get us to Europe," Newt shook his head and said. "We're going to Platform Seven and a Half this time."
