"Hey look Filli, its the wizard from the castle... Rumblekore!" Killi was excited to see him.
Theseus corrected quickly enough,"Guys! its Dum-bule-dore not what you said," though he was amused to hear a funny twist for his professor's name.
After greeting everyone, Dumbledore summoned Gandalf the Grey in his palantir.
An old man with a long, white beard and grey robes, was visible in the glass ball. His background was eye catching. Gold and silver bright walls with intricate decoration of light metal and green luminous plants. It was fascinating for the Earth people, especially, Tina and Bunty.
Gandalf said in his croaky tone," Hello, its good to see you everyone, Dwarves, young wizards as well as witches and what a beautiful little wizard baby."
Newt smiled and patted Charlie's head.
Dumbledore introduced Gandalf to Newt and others then said," Gandalf, Mr. Thesues Scamander wants to talk to you."
"Come child, what is it you want to say?" Replied Gandalf politely.
"Uhm..um.. Sir firstly I am really inspired by your personality and powers and the way you are helping us to fight Grindelwald... I just want to know about the level of security that you can provide to my brother and his family during the quest."
"Ohh... that is not a problem young wizard! Mrs Scamander can stay at any of the safe places here in our world. But the safest of them is Rivendell, from where I'm talking right now."
"Okay?" Theseus gestured as he wanted more explanation.
"Rivendell is the capital and the strong hold of Elves of Middle-Earth. Lord Elrond, the leader of the elves dwells there and keeps an eye on the happenings all around."
"You said Elves?"
Dumbledore intervened," Let me clear it, the Elves of Arda are different from those of our planet. There they are the Valar, the wisest, magnificent and fairest of all beings. They are tall, strikingly beautiful and most intelligent and skillful. They can provide you the best protection on that planet. Elves on our planet are given a low value because of their size, narrow range of thinking and vulnerability, which I however strongly oppose."
"Me too, Dumbledore." Newt exclaimed.
Tina couldn't wait to say," So it is done then.. we are going to Arda."
Newt smiled at Tina then at Theseus and said," I can't wait to meet the Dragon, Smaug."
Tina was very excited.
Dumbledore said goodbye to Gandalf and put away the palantir.
Theseus turned to Dumbledore," Everything is fine, but one thing I am still wondering, we don't know them how do they know us? How did they chose Newt?"
Thorin addressed Theseus," Let me explain to you Pal, we were just as confused as you are. Our initial plan was to hire a burglar instead of a tamer."
"Then what happened?"
"We went to that hobbit's burrow, whose name was Bilbo Baggins."
"What is a hobbit?"
Balin started," Hobbits are human-like short heighted creatures, simple, peace loving, live in ground holes."
Thorin continued," Yes and these folk are mostly ignored by others on Middle-Earth. That is why we went to him to hire him as the one who would steal the Arkenstone from the halls of Erabor. Then that"s another story how we would use it. Not of your concern. However, he was very reluctant to join us, even convinced by Gandalf, but he refused. Gandalf asked him the reason. He simply said ,'You don't have to steal a stone from Smaug, which already belongs to you. Actually, YOU NEED TO TAME HIM, tame the dragon, that"s the best you can do, I suppose.' And we were all wonder struck."
Killi added eagerly," Then we asked him who will train that beast. He simply smiled and said to Gandalf, ' I thought you would know this.' He showed us a book named Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by this Newt Scamander. He asked us to find him. Gandalf liked the plan so we came ere."
Newt was intrigued," Wait, how did my book get there?"
Dumbledore's expressions were kind of cheeky. " Actually, Newt I was going to tell you but then Grindelwald's matter got worse. I have a connection with other worlds and we exchange literature. I provide worthy books of our planet to book sellers in Arda. They do the same. Gandalf had read the book but this idea was meant to spring from Bilbo's mind. That is why we both admire hobbits a lot."
"Dumbledore how is that you are connected to other worlds and we are not?" Bunty asked in an innocent way.
"My dear, its complicated, actually Sir Gandalf the Grey chose me as his apprentice on this planet. They choose only a few from one place. Before me, there were other people who had connections with other worlds, most marked of them are the four founders of Hogwarts."
Theseus took a deep breath, "Uhh, and we thought they were just rumors."
They chuckled.
Thorin said," Now pack your luggage Mr. and Mrs Scamander, we'll have another session of discussion soon again. Right now we have a dragon to tame."
Newt agreed," Yes, he is right."
Everything was placed in Newt's suitcase. Charlie's whole baby room was shifted inside the case and so was half of Newt and Tina's bedroom.
Newt took Niffler and Zuawu with him.
"And Dumbledore, how are we going to travel?"Asked Newt.
"By a portkey of course."
"And where is it?"
"In a secret location in Hogwarts." Dumbledore whispered.
"So, we will also meet Qienee and Jacob before we leave?" Tina was delighted.
"Its seems though." Newt replied with pleasure.
They all went to Hogwarts. Dwarves were under a spell by Dumbledore to appear as humans to the students. They were escorted into the room of requirement by Dumbledore, where he had hidden the secret portkey. Qienee and Jacob arrived there. All parting rituals were done. Charlie was blessed with so many charms and prayers by his aunt and uncles. Finally, Newt and Tina touched that mirror that was meant to be the portkey. They vanished, followed by Thorin and rest of the dwarves. Qienee, Jacob and Bunty were both smiling and crying. Theseus was gloomy but contented to contribute in a noble task. Dumbledore said, " Don't worry, as soon as they reach Rivendell, we will be able to see them on the palantir."
