Biophilia

31

It was now the afternoon and Newt said he had something to do. He had a case full of Occamy eggs, so I think he was going to give them to Jacob for his bakery. Tina and Queenie went to the hospital, Madam President told them Hillary was at, so they could tell her want happened. I was on my way to meet the person I had come to see, my old friend Soman. Soman was a Magic-zookeeper at a magical zoo, only some wizards knew of. I had come to give him, originally one creature but I had to let Mimi go, for she was to hard to handle now. As I entered his work area, his back was turned, and his dark skin glowed in the light of the room. I made a slight cough and he turned his smile appeared. 

"Evie!" I cringed at the name, he always called me that. Soman went to Hogwarts but was two years above me, in Ravenclaw. He always helped me when I needed it. I walked up to him and we embraced. He held me tightly and I returned the same strength. As he pulled away I peeked at what he was doing. 

"Ah – why do you have a Horned Serpent on the table? You know that can kill you?" I asked, a little scared. Horned Serpents were really hard to train, mostly because they killed any wizard it cam near. Then Soman had a connection with nearly every single creature that existed in the magical world. 

"Oh – Spike hear is sick, so I'm helping him out. You know every creature seems to love me." He said acting cocky. I gave him a stupid smirk and he just laughed. "Will leave him to sleep, come on, show me what you brought!" he grabbed my hand and dragged me to a different room to let the serpent sleep.

I placed my case on the table that was in the room and Soman was about to open it, but I stopped him. 

"No – no, don't touch. Stay here, I'll be back in two seconds. OK?" I stared at him. 

"OK! Fine." He nodded. I opened my case and jumped in, I could hear a yelp from Soman, like always and I laughed. I rushed around my hut and found what I was looking for, two boxes. One containing Mimi the other contained a Jobberknoll (a tiny blue, speckled bird). Once I exited, Soman was sitting, waiting patiently. He was always a patient person, I wasn't. He walked to me and helped me get out, then held his hands out. I placed both boxes in his hands. He placed a confused look on his face. 

"Why are there two?" he asked. 

"One of my Occamies is – just – too much to handle, she's hurting everyone." Soman nodded, understanding. He opened the box, containing Mimi and smiled at her size. He put the lid back on and placed her in a small enclosure, just by were we where standing. He then looked to the Jobberknoll and kept it in his hands. 

"Thanks, Evie." He smiled, pulling me into another hug. 

"How many times do I have to tell you, don't call me that." We laughed at my words. We let go and he led me to his door, me shutting my case. We said dour goodbyes and I smiled. I missed hanging out with Soman. "Oh – Soman," he was about to shut the door. 

"Yes?" 

"You need to come to England...there's someone I want you to meet, and I never get to see you." He nodded, agreeing then waved. I waved back and walked away, hoping to see him again soon.
