Chapter 298 - Chapter 295

Roy arrived at the Scamander residence in Dorset with a swirl of dark-blue magic. Before he could even knock, the door swung open and—

Tina Scamander practically dragged him inside.

"Roy! Finally! Come, come, you must meet someone special!"

Roy barely had time to take off his cloak before Tina pulled him into the living room, where a blonde witch with soft curls and a glowing smile waited.

"Roy, this is my sister—Queenie Goldstein."

Beside her stood a round-faced muggle man with kind eyes and flour-covered hands.

"And this is her husband—Jacob Kowalski," Tina added proudly.

Jacob extended a warm handshake. "Heard a lot about you, kid. Tina says you're like the grandson we never had."

Queenie lightly slapped her sister. "Don't make him shy!"

Roy laughed. "I'm honored."

Jacob returned with a warm tray of freshly baked bread."Here—try this. My newest recipe."

Roy took a bite, eyes widening. "Jacob… this is amazing."

Jacob beamed. "Still got it."

A moment later, footsteps thundered down the stairs.

Rolf Scamander—Newt's grandson, and a proud Hufflepuff—ran to Roy.

"ROY! YOU'RE HERE!"

Roy ruffled his hair. "Hey, Rolf."

Newt Scamander walked in next, smiling faintly."As you can see… they all missed you."

The Pocket Dimension Adventure

After breakfast, Roy motioned to Newt and Rolf.

"Come with me. I want to show you something."

Newt raised a brow. "A new creature?"

"Something like that."

Roy opened a shimmering portal and stepped through.They entered Roy's pocket dimension, a vast paradise filled with floating islands, glowing waterfalls, and ancient runic trees.

Immediately, Rolf froze.

Because standing before him was—

Dvalin — the Stormterror Dragon

A majestic wind dragon with sapphire scales and wings spanning an entire hill.

Rolf whispered, "A… a MONSTER of LEGENDS…"

Newt, however, smiled knowingly."Hello again, Dvalin."

The dragon lowered its head respectfully.

Next, a soft light shimmered—Gardevoir, elegant and psychic, floated forward with a gentle bow.

Rolf nearly fainted.

Then came:

A Unicorn… and a Pink Unicorn.

The ordinary unicorn trotted gracefully.The pink one headbutted Rolf affectionately, making him yelp.

Newt's eyes glowed with childlike wonder.

"So these are the new species you mentioned…"

Roy shrugged."I planned to show you eventually."

Newt nodded. "They're extraordinary."

Then the air shifted.

A massive shadow passed above them.

A spiraling emerald serpent descended from the sky—

SHINY RAYQUAZA.

The celestial dragon, glowing emerald and gold, lowered her head to Roy.

Rolf screamed.Newt froze.

Roy played it cool.

"A-ah, yeah. I kinda… accidentally summoned her once. I was experimenting with a spell. She just… appeared."

Newt placed a hand over his heart.

"Oh, yes. It happens sometimes. Magical accidents and unexpected summons are common. Very common."

Roy internally: Thank Merlin he believed that.

Rayquaza lowered her nose to Newt.

Newt touched her scales—with reverence.

"A creature… beyond any world…" he whispered.

Rolf cried out, "ROOOOOY—YOU HAVE LEGENDS AS PETS?!"

Roy laughed. "They're friends, not pets."

They spent hours exploring—feeding creatures, learning behaviors, jotting notes.Newt took so many notes he nearly ran out of pages.

Two Weeks of Peace & Family

Roy stayed with the Scamanders for two weeks.

He cooked Teyvat delicacies every day:

• Jade Parcels• Almond Tofu• Dragon Beard Noodles• Mora Meat• Sweet Madame

Jacob learned every recipe eagerly.Queenie cried when she tasted Dragon Beard Noodles.

"Roy… you're part of this family now."

Roy smiled.

Newt and Tina argued over who would steal Roy as an assistant.Rolf begged Roy to adopt him.

It was peaceful. Warm. Almost like a real home.

The Gift of Youth

On the day Roy was leaving, he stood before the Scamanders.

Newt.Tina.Jacobs.Queenie.

All of them old. Wrinkled. Aging.

Roy sighed and turned his palm upward.

[Ope Ope no Mi — Youth Reversion]

A soft blue ring expanded.

Light washed over them.

And suddenly—

They were thirty again. Young. Healthy. Vibrant.

Queenie touched her face, stunned."Is… is this really… me?"

Tina gasped.Jacob felt his chest—his heartbeat strong and steady.

Newt stared at his hands, trembling."My pain… my stiffness… Roy… you…"

Queenie burst into tears and hugged Roy tightly.

"You saved Jacob's life! He's just a no-maj, his body couldn't handle all the potions… I was so afraid—so afraid he'd leave me someday…"

Roy hugged her back gently."You're family. I take care of my family."

Jacob wiped his eyes."You're a good kid. The best."

Newt placed a hand on Roy's shoulder.

"Roy… you have given us more than you realize. Thank you."

Tina kissed Roy's forehead like a mother.

"We're here for you. Always."

After Roy Leaves

Roy activated his Dark Phoenix bloodline, wings of shadow-fire erupting behind him, and vanished into the horizon.

Queenie stood watching the sky, hand over her heart.

"Tina…" she whispered. "Meeting Roy… was one of the greatest blessings of our lives."

Tina smiled softly.

"That's why we treat him like our grandson."

Queenie nodded, eyes shining.

"And from today… Jacob and I will treat him the same."

Jacob raised his bread tray in salute.

"To Roy Valvas—our grandson."

The Scamander-Goldstein-Kowalski home glowed with warmth.

And Roy, miles away, felt it.
