HP Peter Can't Be That Cute

The elder who made Alaya feel familiar turned around calmly and dealt with the beast alone, muttering to himself, "This is a rare creature ~ Qiongqi from China. Legend has it that they are ferocious by nature and feed on the bad words said by others. It's really interesting, isn't it~"

For some reason, the appearance of this guy suddenly made Alayya feel safe enough, and she even dared to stand behind him and watch his operations.

The old man pulled out a flute-like metal piece from his arms, blew it hard, and recited a passage she couldn't understand. The beast, which had already entered a combat state, calmed down visibly, and rushed into the sky, swinging its tail.

This familiar figure standing in front of her, his understanding of magical creatures, the excitement and happiness in his eyes when he saw the magical creatures, along with his innate affinity and naivety.

"Newt? Newt Scamander?" Alaia asked uncertainly, and the guy took a step back violently, pulled up his collar to cover his face, and answered stutteringly, "Are you a little wizard? Have you heard of me... have you heard of Newt's story?"

"You've got the wrong person. I'm just an old man passing by... ahem... cough... " Although he has experienced the baptism of time, it still cannot conceal Newt's innocence.

Alaiya was now 100% sure that this elderly person was once a young man full of vigor and vitality. Time was really a magical thing. Her eyes turned red. She didn't expect that she valued her friendship with Newt more than she thought.

"Hey, don't... don't cry!" Newt panicked. He was asked by the Ministry of Magic to help capture the lost magical creatures, but he ended up meeting a crying underage wizard.

In fact, he could have just cast a forgetfulness spell on her and left her here to wait for her parents to pick her up, but when he saw her little face that was similar to Peter's, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Instead, he squatted down and hugged her gently.

"Don't be afraid, Grandpa will protect you~" But this sentence of Grandpa touched Alaya's tears. She was still the same, but Newt had entered his twilight years. Even if his mental state was young, there were some traces of time. Doesn't this mean that he has been looking for them until now but still hasn't found them? This is too cruel for him alone...

Therefore, Alayya was somewhat relieved at this moment that he did not know that he was Peter, otherwise he might be more miserable because of the age gap between them, and she did not want to make him more sad. At least he should be living a good life now, with children and grandchildren around him, right?

Who would have thought that Newt's next words would be even more difficult for Alaya to accept -

Newt patted Alaiya's back awkwardly. Perhaps because of the discomfort in his waist, he could no longer squat, but he still tried his best to pick Alaiya up and apologized to her very apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I have no experience in taking care of children. Did I scare you?"

Facing a little girl as soft and cute as her, Newt's eyes were full of nostalgia and love. Is Peter's daughter also so cute? Does she have grandchildren now?

"You? Uh?" Alayya even hiccupped in shock, staring at her bright eyes, and asked with trembling lips, "You... don't have children?" That's impossible, right? Why did she vaguely remember that he would have grandchildren in the future.

Newt pinched Alaia's cheek frankly, then held her in his arms and walked towards an open space with satisfaction. "Yes, no children, no wife, no family..." He liked this cute little girl who was as cute as Peter very much. Over the long years, he always thought about what it would be like if Peter had a daughter.

Now it's so real -

"Why?" Alayya was already crying on his shoulder.

"Why? Why don't you get married?" Although the other party was a child, Newt still answered her question very seriously, without a trace of strangeness. Maybe she really was like her. "Maybe it's because the person I met when I was young was too amazing. By the time I realized it, it was too late..."

"? She didn't agree to you?" Is that Leta Lestrange?

"Unfortunately, we haven't made it to that point yet. She disappeared without a trace." Newt once again recalled the brief but beautiful memories of the past. "But I swear, she must be living a happy life, happier than being with me."

Yes, this is what Newt said to comfort himself every time, and he spent year after year like this, constantly traveling around the world, leaving his own phantom, looking forward to meeting again.

"..." Alayya didn't know how to comfort Newt, but she decided not to tell him the truth. Looking at his distraught look and forced smile, Alayya took the initiative to slide off him.

"Thank you...Sir." Alayya really couldn't say the word "Grandpa". She waved goodbye to Newt. After knowing Newt's existence, she urgently needed to discuss it with her brothers. Maybe they had a way to go back to the past and help Newt find the disappeared lover?

Newt was still very worried about her, but he was stopped by the Ministry of Magic. Yes, the matter had not been completely resolved. Qiongqi was just temporarily confused and had not been completely taken back into the cage by the Ministry of Magic. He still had things to do. Looking at the girl disappearing in the crowd, Newt reminded the member several times, "Help me find the parents for the little wizard! Make sure she is safe!"

On the other side, James and Lily, who came down from the Ferris wheel, went against the flow of people to find Peter without thinking when they discovered the chaos. Lily Evans was a little worried that James would "escape", but looking at his determined expression and his subconscious action of blocking the sparks for her, Lily felt that James seemed to be a reliable and responsible boy.

What Lily didn't know was that James's head was about to explode. He felt extremely panicked when he saw that Peter was not at the agreed place and there was a commotion among the crowd.

At this moment, James' mind flashed with the image of Peter being caught because he couldn't run fast enough, or being trampled underfoot. In the end, he only said one sentence in his mind: "Peter, you must not be in any harm!"
