“Kee? (How long do we have to wait?)”
“Be patient, Valen. It’s almost time.”
Both Felix and Valen are slumped over a thick patch of dead leaves, each with a telescope in hand, looking off into the distance. A nest made of woven vines is hidden sixty or seventy feet away from them in the dense forest all around.
The bird’s nest is exquisite, with six or seven silvery artefact-like eggs huddled together inside, in the middle of a pile of leaves.
This is Newt Scamander’s home, or more precisely, a sub-basement unit. Felix and Valen have been here for almost a week now, and they have spent most of their time in this place, experiencing all kinds of wonderful adventures without even stepping out of the house. Last night they were boating in the swampy waters, and today they are in the woods watching Occamy breaking out of their shells.
It all happens in Newt Scamander’s magical basement.
This place is no worse than a Romanian Dragon Sanctuary, where magical creatures gather. Since Newt retired, he runs outside much less often. Many countries’ ministries of magic quietly breathed a sigh of relief … But the size and variety of magical creatures not only did not decrease but became increasingly numerous. In addition to the ones Newt brought back, there were also his sons and grandsons, as well as the ministry of magic employees, magical creature associations, sanctuaries… …and also admirers from abroad who visit him with all kinds of magical creatures, when they ask for his heldvice.
Felix also brought a full set of ‘Future World’ company products to Newt couple this time, as rent for his bizarre trip. Newt was shocked at the time, but his wife was quite fond of these new gadgets.
“When Rolf visited us, he brought a chair that is very comfortable to lie on.” Tina Goldstein told him.
…
“Ta, ta, ta-”
A crisp metallic clanging sound rang through the forest, “It’s going to break the shell!” Felix whispered to Valen, and the two raised their binoculars, and watched the nest carefully, at first there was only one source of the sound, but then all the Occamy eggs made the same sound as if the first one was a signal.
“Kee?”
Valen poked Felix gently.
“The video record button? The red one–” Felix whispered while watching with rapt attention. A crack soon appeared on the surface of the silver eggshell, followed by twisting and distortion of the shell, as if something huge is expanding inside, and after a few tries, it started pecking again, as the crack widened.
The “click-clack-click-clack” sound echoed like a symphony.
Finally, the first Occamy broke out of its shell.
Occamy are winged, two-legged creatures with the body of a snake and beautiful feathers, which are usually delicate, with glossy bright blue colour, albeit with some exceptions. The newborn Occamy’s legs are feeble, so it can only be tucked into the sides of its carapace and moves around more like a snake; The newborn Occamy roamed around in circles in its nest, curiously surveying its siblings.
They are still trying to break their shells.
“Did you get it on tape?” Felix whispered.
Next to him, his partner – Valen hummed twice happily, her heart filled with glee, perhaps the footage she captured now would become prized footage released by the ‘Future World’ company, and be seen by thousands of wizards.
“I also recorded it, when we go back, we can compare … let’s get closer, the Occamy’s mom is not at home …”
“Kiki! ( because it was lured away by you using a jar of bugs!)”
“Hey, don’t be like that, mama occamy needs supplements, no? We came quietly and left quietly.”
“Kiki? (Any transformation to watch?)” Valen asked.
The Occamy has a skill that is considered special even among magical creatures – it can expand and shrink at will, both large enough to fill all the space and small enough to escape in narrow space depending on its need.
“You mean them, or me?” Felix said, pointing to the Occamy’s nest close at hand, the binoculars in his hand about to poke into the nest, the first small Occamy emerged out of its nest, attracted by the sound of their voices and the shiny lenses, cocking its head to peer at them curiously.
The Occamy’s eyes moved from Felix to Valen, staring at her long pink beak for a while, and then turned sideways to examine its own appearance that reflected in the silver eggshell surface, after finally confirming that the two guys in front of it were not its mother, the little one immediately opened its pair of bright blue wings to demonstrate at them.
The Occamy’s body also swelled up a notch.
“Whaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Valen looked at the scene in shock, Niffler didn’t have this ability. She slowly put her hand behind her back and waved it over and over at Felix, who grinned and handed her a small glass jar.
Valen stared at the Occamy and waved her fist in front of its eyes, revealing a beetle in her hand.
The little Occamy, which is still trying to make itself swell, stopped, and cocked its head to survey the food in Valen’s hand, its stomach let out an indisputable grunt, although it did not speak, its mouth leaned closer and closer …
The little Occamy quickly fell for the temptation of food.
With the first example, the other Occamies who had just emerged out of their shells didn’t have time to think about the complicated question about why ‘mommy looks different from them’ and began to scramble for food, while Felix and Valen took the opportunity to reach out and stroke their beautiful feathers.
Especially Felix, his fingertips dense with the light of magic while touching, not to hurt, but to analyse…
The pleasure of throwing food was short-lived, and it wasn’t long before Valen shook the empty glass jar and held it up for Felix to see.
“No more?” Felix asked.
Valen turned the jar upside down and shook it twice; it is completely empty.
“That should be enough, they are just born, it is best not to feed them too much at once …” Felix wondered.
At that moment, a rustling sound came from behind them.
Valen tilted her head and opened her mouth wide while looking through the bottom of the glass jar.
“Well–” Felix also felt slightly uncomfortable, and he looked back to see the mother Occamy slowly raising her body from behind them, expanding in size and pressing her huge, bird-like head down toward them.
‘The Occamy will attack anyone who comes near it, especially if it’s trying to protect its eggs.’
While these words passed through Felix’s mind, he had already pulled Valen to Appariate twenty feet away. This little distance is nothing for the mother Occamy, a quick dash is all she needs to reach them both, but fortunately, Felix has also been here for a few days, so he can barely recognize their actions.
The mother Occamy just wrapped her nest around and looked at them warily.
Felix and Valen compromised by stepping back, then the mother’s body began to shrink a little, soon revealing its hidden nest, and the baby Occamies chattered and crawled on top of their mother, flapping their wings rustily as they watched the distant “keepers”.
“Well, Let’s head back home.”
Felix said contentedly.
On the way back, they passed an empty hole in the tree, “Hello Blaze.” Felix said in greeting, and Valen waved back at the tree hole, which is the home of Demiguise. They then passed a small open plain and walked across a long, monolithic bridge back to a settlement.
It is adjacent to the exit, the most human-like place in the entire basement appeared.
There are jars, pans, and books everywhere, Felix thought he had returned to the potion class professor’s lab when he saw it for the first time, even though the jars contained very different things.
But he is certain about one thing, that is not introducing them to each other.
It is destined to be an unfriendly meeting.
