I cuddle the Niffler close making sure his arm is okay. He gives a little whimper and I stroke his soft head "It's okay, we'll heal that arm in a moment." carefully I put him down on the desk and go about finding my wand. When I find it I murmur and healing charm and the Niffler jumps up. He bounds about and I smile. He sits back down staring at me "Here you go." I say rolling my eyes

The Niffler grabs the chocolate coin then runs of probably to hide his coin from the triplets. I hum to myself as I go about my duties, making sure all the creatures are fed. I go over to the baby Nifflers cage and see the door is open. I sigh running my fingers through my hair I stomp up the stairs. Where on earth could they have got to? 

I hear a clatter in the lounge and see all three of them scampering around. One is on the lamp and another is on a bottle of champagne. I smile and manage to catch one. The lights start flicking on and of and I see one of the Nifflers pulling on the chain of the lamp. I turn when I hear the door open and see Newt looking worried. "Oh, it's you I thought someone had broken in." I smile "Sorry, the baby Nifflers escaped again." 

We manage to catch them and have them all back safely in their cage. "I'm going to have to find a spell to keep that cage shut." I smile at the cage I don't notice Newt staring at me smiling when I turn to look at him he turns away. "How was your trip to the ministry?" he shrugs "Bumped into my brother but that's about it." I look at him "I've seen to all the animals but the aquatic ones." I look down sheepishly.

He frowns "I told you to leave to the kelpi alone." he grabs a hold of my wrists turning them over revealing my scars "Sorry I thought I could handle it." he shakes his head "Right, well I'll go deal with the kelpi." I follow him over to the kelpi tank and watch as he dives into the tank and grabs ahold of the kelpi's mane I cover my eyes not wanting to watch. 

Last time he did this he ended up with a broken arm. I look through my fingers to see Newt standing beside me with his shirt plastered to his chest. I smile at him "You didn't hurt yourself this time, well done." he smiles magically drying his shirt, I try to hide my frown as his muscles are hidden from me by his baggy shirt. 

"I'm going to go make dinner. remember to eat it." I smile Newt often forgets simple things like eating when he looks after his creatures. I head up the stairs to the kitchen and start cooking.
