Inspired by Back to the future. I've done some editing and changed the name Isaac to Ari and the name Abraham to Aaron I've now changed the name Ari to Colt last time I promise.

Colton Newton "Colt" Scamander made his way to Malcolm Greene's house he had just returned home for the summer from Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, a school he had alternated between with Illvermorney the American school for wizardry in the U.S.

The son of Newt and Tina Scamander nee' Goldstein was anxious to see his friend, a wizard who was constantly trying to find new spells. He remembered his last spell, a charm to draw nectar from flowers, that instead resulted in attracting bees, Colt still had some of the marks from those stings.

The house's charms were still active, he saw a parchment in the corner signing various papers for the bank, or it was supposed to, it appeared to have forgotten it ran out of ink it now scratched against the blank white paper showing no signs of stopping.

Colt chuckled, Malcolm was brilliant but he was one of the most forgetful people he knew. Most people didn't even give Malcolm the time of day, dismissing him as a crackpot. Colt had met Malcolm years ago when he worked at the MACUSA, as a wand permit officer.

His mother an auror, had brought him there to show him where she worked. An emergency involving magic exposure, forced her to leave him there, He remembered Tina and her son entered the Woolworth building, to the headquarters of the headquarters of the Magical congress of the United states of America.

They were on the middle floor, all around them were elevators were moving up and down to various departments. Stay close to me. Tina said to her son. "It's a busy day,registering new wizards", lots families with young children were arriving to get one permits. Colt already had his, an Ollivander creation. Sleek and silver what a black band around the middle.

They made their way to the elevator it opened up to reveal Red the goblin who have been working up because ever since his mother first started. "Hey Goldstein," he looked at Colt. "This is the kid? He's got your eyes and his father's nose," Tina smiled fondly. "Major investigations department please," Red nodded and pulled the lever down.

The doors open to the major investigations department. The gray cabinets and shelves are stocked with files containing open cases to be investigated.

This is where I work," Tina told her son. "I have to keep an eye out for any disturbances, no matter how it may seem on the surface any disturbance can be a huge danger,you must always be cautious and always have a plan that's what a good auror does."

Colt was fascinated by law-enforcement but not as much as he was fascinated with magical creatures.

The next step on the tour words the wand permit office. "These are very important, permits are needed before you can have a wand.

As she continued her lesson an elderly man with holding a tray of potions rushed past her.

The tray with all it's vials containing potions looked like a sea of colors all huddled together. "Oh sorry miss Goldstein," the man said. "I'm just working on something big.

That's quite all right Malcolm," Tina responded.
"Is this your son?" Malcolm said noticing the boy next-to her. "Yes this is Colt," Tina said. "Colt This is Malcolm he's worked here in the wand permit office for 15 years. I'm sure he can tell you all about why it's necessary to have a permit."

Though as she gestured to Malcolm she found he had already turned away to fiddle with the various potions he had on him.

"Suddenly the alarm went off. "Warning magical exposure detected."

"Tina's focus shifted instantly to what the alarm had just said auror rushed in. "Goldstein," the president has ordered all aurors to the major investigation department, including you.

"I'll be right there," she responded.

"The auror nodded and left the room. She looked at her son with concern, she knew she had a job to do but could not just leave him there. Newt was taking care of a bowtruckle who had a cold and there definitely wasn't time to call Queenie and Jacob.

She looked around the room for options and spotted Mal at his desk,looking over the potions. An idea came to her. Malcolm. He turned to look at her.

"Is everything all right"? He asked. I need a favor. She said. "Could you watch Colt while I'm gone?" Malcolm was surprised. He looked at Colt and then back at Tina. "I'm not really a babysitter," he said.

"I know and normally I wouldn't do this but I really need your help. Could you just this once?" she asked hopefully. "I can pay 20 dragots," Malcolm eyes lit up at this. "For 20 dragots? Sure," he said before he could consider the responsibility.

"Thank you," she said breathlessly. She hurried over to Colt. "Colt I have some business I need to attend to," she said quickly. "But I thought we were going to see the department for magical creatures next," he protested a pang of disappointment in his voice

"I know and I promise we will," she said regretfully. "I won't be long I just want you to stay with Malcolm until I come back I promise we'll go see the magical creatures next," Colt nodded then hugged her goodbye.

"Half an hour later Tina still had not returned. Colt sat in his chair holding his wand.

"Malcolm was still at his desk mixing potions he had a number of ingredients at his side. Colt could see he had roses and lilies and jars of cinnamon and sugar at his side, his curiosity was drawn to the ingredients.

"Malcolm hadn't said a word to him since Tina left he hadn't try to make conversation with him as Malcolm seem to notice only potions and nothing else. But he was bored he had nothing to pass the time,no books and no creatures had made the ingredients all the more interesting to him.

"Finally he got up and walked over. "What are you working on?" Colt asked. Malcolm turned to him. "Well," he said. "I'm not sure if you'll understand this it's very advanced magic," he had never had much patience for teaching people complicated subjects.

"Try me," Colt said.

Malcolm thought for a moment and then sighed. "I am working on a potion," he said slowly as if speaking to an infant. "That could make an odor smell like roses and cinnamon."

"Colt was a bit confused it didn't seem like very advanced magic but he didn't want to offend "Really so is it working?"

Malcolm sighed. No. I can't figure out what's wrong could be I have the wrong ingredients.

As he went back to his desk to rethink the formula Colt had a thought. "The stem of the rose could be preventing the potion for mixing properly perhaps you should leave it out"

Malcolm looked at him in surprise. "Leave the stem out?", He asked. "Yes so it doesn't interfere with the mixture" ,Colt responded.

Malcolm looked at him for a moment then he cut the stem off of the rose and dumped the petals and the cinnamon into the mixture a few seconds later the potion went poof with smoke rising into the air which was now filled with the aroma of roses and cinnamon.

"A surprised Malcolm grinned at Colt. "Great Agrippa! Thanks that was some clever thinking," he praised the boy.

"No problem," Colt said.

"So do the potions have anything to do with wand permits?" he had been wondering why a wand permit officer was working with potions.

Malcolm chuckled. "No I'm an inventor you see I've been working on spells and potions for years now trying to make a difference in the magical world. I just work at MACUSA to pay the bills, there's not a lot of money my inventions...yet."

""So have anybody taken an interest in them yet?" Colt was interested now. Malcolm frowned. "No they don't see how any of them could be useful. But I always say persevere no matter what, it's the only way to achieve success."

The boy smiled. "You're right if you want something you need to have conviction," as he spoke of his philosophy to Colt the elevator door opened and Tina came in. "Hey honey, I know I'm late, but we can go now," she and her son prepared to leave.

It took a while for Colt to remember what was going on. "Oh right yes of course," Tina handed the 20 dragots to him. "Thanks so much," she said."My pleasure,"

Malcolm said, he looked at the dragots and waved them away. 'No need I was happy to it."
"Are you sure?," Tina said surprised. "Of course," Malcolm said.

"Okay well if there's anything I can do for you just let me know," Tina smiled at the man.

"She turned to Colt. She said holding out her hand. Colt followed waving good bye to Malcolm who waved back. He had really enjoyed helping Malcolm and he wanted to do it again.

"Ever since that day Colt admired Malcolm and Malcolm had decided to take Colt under his wing. The two had become close friends Colt had assisted Mal several times along with Aaron, his silver haired pet Niffler.

"Colt looked Mal was nowhere in sight. Finally he found a note taped to his fridge. Colt took the wrinkled piece of white parchment in his hand.

"Col"Meet me back at my house tonight at 11:00 major breakthrough.

"Colt looked at his watch which read 10:45 A.M." Major breakthrough?" he thought to himself. Whatever it was it had to be what Malcolm said it was. "I'm married to my work," he always said

"Colt quickly began on his way home excitement bubbling in his brain as he thought about what the breakthrough was.
