10 Fantastic Beasts and where you can find them now

By now, everyone had already settled down in the house and got their bits and bobs unpacked into their selected rooms. They were all now sat around this muggle item known as a Tv, which appeared to show programs such as those Theatrical plays you would see from time to time appearing in the Daily Prophet and such. They were currently talking happily whilst watching this program, thinking what their course of action would be for the day ahead of them, you have to remember that they had only set off in the early hours of the morning and as such, it wasn't even lunch time for them yet.

If you were to play it by the 'Time' rules, it would also be even earlier for them currently, as it was only around 6am for the people of America. Whilst they were thinking of where to go first, both Fleamont and Euphemia were suggesting ideas, Harry was rearing more towards wanting to go to a Quidditch game that was being hosted daily just a couple of miles over from them whilst Philip appeared more as though he wanted to look around the American wizardry bookshops.

He had read before of a very popular one known as Esca's Books, Comics and more. Whilst the name seemed slightly strange, their prestige lied mostly in the genres that they covered, it appeared as though they had a Magical book for almost every different kind of genre you could read about.

Fleamont and Euphemia smiled at each other helplessly and decided to make a schedule so that they could fit everything in, they knew how much the boys loved both Quidditch and Magical books respectively but they didn't know it was this bad to the point where they wouldn't even think of visiting anything else and thus decided to make some choices of their own.

Without telling the two boys where they were going, they got dressed nicely and proceeded to make their way out of the house and into a side-extension room of the house, with a slight flick of her wand, Euphemia had opened this rather large looking door...upwards, which in turn showed them a jet black muggle car in which they all got into.

Harry and Philip would never have imagined that their grandparents owned a muggle-car and appeared to know how to operate it, they clambered into the back of the vehicle before closing their doors respectively and putting on these seat belts which were supposedly used for protection of some kind and as such didn't question it too much.

They drove out of the drive-way and made their way back into the town they had just left from a few hours ago, taking a few turns here and there, they made it to the place they would be visiting today.

The building had a very large sign stating "New Yorks Finest Magical Creature Zoo" whilst it wasn't entirely what the two boys were expecting, they were still happy to see that this place had something to do with the Magical Creatures they had read about. After leaving the car, they entered a reception area whilst Fleamont made his way over to a counter and talked to one of the receptionists. A few minutes later, he returned with a few tickets in hand and the four made their way into the right side of the building.

The interior of the building was rather plain and simple, aside from the very big windows that appeared to cover most of the walls themselves, looking through the glass panes, Harry and Philip could see a lot of the Murtlaps slowly trotting their way over to them on the other side of the glass.

When they saw Harry, they all began to jump around excitedly and some were even pushing their faces against the glass as though they couldn't wait another second to be closer with him.

Philip walked up to Harry's side and sent a slight grin towards the rowdy Murtlaps forcing them to calm down a lot, for some reason again, once they saw Philip, it was as though they went stiff in fear.

Last time, Fleamont and Euphemia thought of it as something of a coincidence and merely wrote it off as so, but this time.. it had truly proven that Magical creatures appeared to have something against Philip.. or at least for some reason there was an innate fear behind their eyes when they saw Philip.

Philip frowned slightly at the reaction coming from the Murtlaps and faced his grandparents in hope of getting an answer only to see Fleamont with an equally large frown upon his face and Euphemia looking rather confused.

From what Fleamont and Euphemia knew, such a thing shouldn't be possible, but this had proven it was which went against all contradictions and as such decided to label the anomaly as an 'Anti Nature Animagus.. naturally, this doesn't mean that Philip is suppose to fight Nature Animagus' but rather that his power seems to slightly negate the abilities of a Nature Animagus, especially one as powerfully talented as Harry. Harry and Philip really were polar opposites in terms of their talents.

As they was going through the zoo, they noticed the same thing occur each time they would pass the glass panes... Magical creature would sense Harry, play happily in his presence... Philip shows up and scares them sh*tless.. again and again. This definitely couldn't of been a mistake.

Most of the animals you'd see in the book, Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them were all in this zoo, with a few exceptions of course such as the thunder-bird, phoenix, etc. By the time they made it out of the zoo, it was already late in the evening and thus they decided to head back after having some delicacies in a nearby bakery known as 'Kowalski's Bakery' it was rather strange as some of the pastries were made to look like certain magical creatures, it was very fascinating at the same time.

The next day, they went to see the Quidditch match which was between an American team known as the Farside Farers which were also very popular in the wizard-states and a team surprisingly from England also known as the Holyhead Harpies, due to them hailing from England, Harry was playing close attention to them, Even Philip would look towards them every once in a while. The Holyhead Harpies was an all-girl team consisting of around 14 girls, the usual Quidditch game sported 7 players either side and as such, they had a backup team with them in case of any issues occurring.
