Chapter Two: Niffler in the Bank
Turns out that the hot dog was first before the adventure. Daddy decided that we would walk around and explore for a little while before finding a hotel for us to stay the night at. As we explored all the different stores and places in New York, daddy decided that it was time for me to try a hot dog!
After I got my hot dog, with lots of ketchup and mustard, we kept walking because daddy and I don't like staying in one place for too long. I stopped paying attention all the sights while I ate because the hot dog was too delicious!
"Enjoying the hot dog, my dear?" Daddy asked, seeing how I dug into it.
"Yes daddy!" I replied, smiling up at him as my face was covered in ketchup and mustard stains.
Daddy chucked and stopped us, leaning down to me and cleaning my face with a handkerchief from his coat. "You're so messy, you know that?"
I giggle and shrug. "I can't help it. It tasted so good!" I commented, "Hey, how come you didn't get a hot dog, daddy?"
"My dear, you know I don't eat meat. Besides, I'm not hungry at the moment." He commented, finishing up cleaning my face and putting the handkerchief back in his coat. Daddy was something called a "vegetarian" where he didn't eat meat, but he said that I could eat it if I wanted to. Which was good for me because I loved eating meat!
"This great city sparkles with the jewels of man's invention!" We heard a woman's voice yell. We looked over and saw a woman on the steps of the New York City bank and had a ton of people with her, passing out paper to the people watching her. She also had a large red and yellow sign that looked like someone was snapping a wand in half.
"What's going on over there, daddy?" I asked, pointing to the scene.
"I don't know. Let's have a look and see, shall we?" He asked and stood up back, holding my hand as we both walked to the crowd. The main thing I noticed about Americans in New York was that they all wore such dark colors and I honestly wondered why that was ever since I got here. Daddy and I stuck out like a sore thumb in the crowd because we wore bright colors. Daddy wore a white shirt, a yellowish orange vest, a blue bow tie, grey pants, a grey suit jacket, his favorite blue coat, and brown boots. While I wore a long sleeved light blue dress with white lace on the collar, white flats, and a long white coat.
Anyway, we wanted to make it to the front of the line to hear what was going on, so we passed a few people. Daddy accidentally bumped into one lady who was eating a hot dog, but with a lot of mustard. "Excuse me." Daddy apologized as we continued on, but the lady didn't say anything.
We eventually made it to the front of the crowd where the woman, who wore all purple, continued to speak. "But where there is light, there is shadow, friends! Something is stalking our fair city; Reeking destruction and then disappearing without a trace!" I was so confused the whole time. Just what was this lady talking about?
"P-pamphlet?" I heard a voice ask me. I looked up to see an older boy with short black hair and wearing all black. He looked rather timid and shy, much like daddy.
"Thank you very much." I said kindly, taking two of the pamphlets and handed one to daddy. I saw a little smile on his face before he moved on. I guess that he wasn't shown much kindness.
Daddy and I kept listening to the crazy purple lady talk about evil witches and how they were causing havoc in their city as he sat down his briefcase. I looked around to see most people disagreeing with her and I did too; Witches weren't evil like she said they were. True, some were a little mean, but all the witches I've met were pretty nice, at least to daddy and me.
I soon jumped at the sound of someone falling and I looked over to see a rather chubby man on the ground holding his own briefcase with daddy's briefcase underneath him. Daddy quickly helped him up and held his case again.
"So sorry. My apologies." Daddy said politely when the chubby man got back on his feet.
"No problem." The chubby man replied before walking up the steps of the back, "Excuse me."
"You! Friends!" The crazy lady finally pointed to daddy and I, finally acknowledging us in the crowd, "What brought you to our meeting today?"
"O-oh, my daughter and I were just passing through." Daddy explained, getting shy again.
"Are you and your daughter seekers after the truth?" She asked with much determination in her voice.
"I'm more of a chaser, really." Daddy replied.
"I wanna be a seeker!" I exclaimed, thinking that she was talking about Quidditch and heard some people laugh behind me.
"Then hear my words! And heed my warnings! And laugh if you dare: Witches live among us. We have to fight together for the sake of our city and our children! What do you both say to that?" She asked us with crossed arms.
Daddy and I both looked at each other, both of us not really knowing what to answer. And we wouldn't get to because then I heard the sound of change against the ground. I looked up at the bank steps to find the Niffler collecting change from a hat. I gasped and tugged on daddy's coat. "Daddy!" I whispered and pointed to the steps.
Daddy looked over and his eyes widened, taking my hand and running up the stairs. "Excuse us!" He yelled as we squeezed through the "witch haters" and into the large bank, which was decorated in everything gold and white
"You're wrong, by the way!" I yelled to them from the top of the bank.
"Emma." Daddy whispered in surprise that I would say that to them.
"What? They are!"
"I know they are, but now we need to find that Niffler. In a bank like this, who knows what he'll take." Daddy said a worried tone, holding my hand and the briefcase in the other.
"Can I help you both?" A man wearing glasses asked as he came over to us.
"N-no, we're just looking." Daddy replied in a frantic rush before we walked off again. He always got so worried whenever one of my animal siblings escaped because it never ended well.
We eventually sat down on a bench so daddy could get better view of where the Niffler could be. I helped look, but then I spotted the same chubby man from earlier. "Hi there!" I said to him.
"Hi." The chubby man replied awkwardly, holding his briefcase in his lap, "What are you two doing here?"
"Same as you." Daddy lied.
The chubby man looked confused. "You're here to get a loan for a bakery?"
Daddy and I looked at each other in confusion before he replied, "Yes. Yes I am."
"What are the odds of that? Well, may the best man win, I guess." The chubby man said and held out his hand for daddy to shake, but he must've gotten a good find of the Niffler because he shot up and took my hand again.
"Excuse us!" He exclaimed as we quickly walked off.
"Bye Mr. Baker!" I called to the Muggle, wanting to know why he wanted to open a bakery. But it's whatever made him happy.
Daddy and I spent an awfully long time trying to find the Niffler in such a big bank, but soon enough he spotted him. The Niffler was riding a small cart that was covered in gold coins pushed by a Muggle man behind the men giving money. "What do we do now?" I asked.
"I don't know, my dear. I'm going to have to find some way to get inside that vault, but the question is-" Daddy was cut off when we heard a voice call to us.
"Hey, Mr. English-guy! I think your egg is hatching!"
We looked over to see the chubby baker man from earlier holding an Occamy egg in his hands. Now how did that get out too?! Daddy quickly pulled out his hand and casted a spell to bring the baker quickly over to him lightening fast.
"Daddy, wait!" I grabbed his coat as the baker flew over to us and we disapparated into the straits of the back room of the bank. He then quickly took the egg from the baker and we watched the new baby Occamy come out.
"Daddy, they're so cute!" I squealed quietly, reaching out to hold the baby creature.
Daddy smiled down at me and handed me the baby Occamy, walking us both down the stairs. "Come on, let's put him in the case."
"Aww, but I wanna play with him." I whined, wanting to give the Occamy a name and see what he liked.
"You can do that later, Emma. Let's have him rest for now." Daddy said as we stopped where the vault of the bank was, putting the case down and opening it. He then helped me put my hands inside the case to put the baby Occamy in its nest, both of us smiling at the adorable sight of the other Occampies welcoming their new sibling. This is one of the reasons why I loved our adventures.
I then looked up to see the Niffler squeezing itself deep inside of the vault until it disappeared. "Daddy, I found him!" I exclaimed and stood up, pointing to the vault.
He looked up and closed the case tightly. "Oh no you don't." He mumbled and pointed his wand at the vault, "Alohomora."
And with that simple spell, the vault magically started to open before we heard a voice. "Oh! So you were gonna steal the money, huh?!" We turned around to see the baker standing beside us and another older man, most likely the manager of the bank, behind us and looking rather angry. The older man hit a button on the wall, which caused an alarm to sound.
"Petrificus Totalus!" Daddy yelled, pointing his wand at the man. The bank manager then froze and fell right to the ground rather hard.
"Oh, that had to hurt." I winced before the door to the vault fully opened. Daddy and I then ran inside to find the Niffler stuffing his never ending pouch full of gold bars, "This is a new low. Even for you."
"I'd say so." Daddy agreed before he grabbed the Niffler and then put him upside down, all the gold bars, gold coins, and other such shiny things came out onto the ground. We even had to tickle the little thief until no more shiny objects came out.
We then looked at the stairs to see a bunch of armed guards coming after us. I quickly grabbed the case while Daddy grabbed his wand and stayed holding the Niffler before we both ran to the baker. "Don't shoot, don't shoot!" The baker yelled before we disapparated away into an abandoned alley outside of the bank.
"Now for the last time, you little pest, paws off what doesn't belong to you!" Daddy scolded the Niffler as I opened the case, angrily putting him inside with the other creatures and then closed the case tightly.
"You know how he is, daddy." I said, handing him the case while daddy put his wand in his coat.
"I know, my dear, but I wish he wasn't." Daddy grumbled, combing his hair out of his face.
"Me too." I agreed before seeing the baker man still with us, "Umm... Daddy?"
He turned around and spotted the baker man, smiling awkwardly. "Oh, so sorry about that!"
"What the hell was that?!" The baker man squeaked.
"Hey, language! " I warned.
"Nothing that concerns you. Now you have seen far too much, so if you can just stand still, this will be over in a jiffy." Daddy said and dropped his case, fixing up the baker's suit and tie. Oh no, he was going to erase his mind. I always hated when daddy had to do that. It made me sad to know that people could forget all the cool things they did with us.
But before daddy could get his wand, the baker grabbed his case and swung it violently at daddy's head, causing him to fall to the ground and run off. "Daddy!" I yelled and ran to daddy, helping him up. I glared at the baker and yelled, "You dumb meanie!"
"Emma, be nice." Daddy mumbled and rubbed his head a little, "Though he was a bugger."
"Sorry, daddy. But are you okay though? Do you need a bandage or a kiss?" I asked worriedly.
"I-I'm fine, my dear." Daddy said and stood up again, grabbing his case before taking my hand. "But now we have to find that man and erase his mind now. Think we can find him?"
I nodded my head. "Yeah! I wanna teach him a lesson for hurting my daddy!"
Daddy chuckled a little as we walked down the alley. "I don't think there will be a need for that. Though I'll let you know if I need it."
I nodded. "Okay, but if he-" I never got to finish my sentence before someone grabbed my daddy's arm and we disapparated again.
Seriously, how many times were we gonna apparate and disapparate on this adventure?! My stomach can't handle all this traveling!
