I swung a sword at Hogwarts

"Mr. Scamander, the magical world and the non-magical world have lived in peace for more than a century," said Guzman, the national official who suffered from Grindelwald's evil. "Grindelwald wants to destroy all of this."

"For a certain segment of our community, this ambition is very tempting."

"Many pure-blood wizards believe that the right to rule is innate, and that they are born to rule."

"Not only rule our world, but the non-magical world as well."

"They see Grindelwald as a hero," Credence's face emerged from the puddle in the middle of the round table where several people were talking, "and Grindelwald sees this boy as a means to achieve everything."

“I’m sorry,” Newt frowned, and then he smiled like someone who had heard a ridiculous joke, “You said that as if Credence was still here.”

Theseus finally spoke a second time, saying, "He escaped death, Newt."

Newt froze, his eyes fixed on Theseus's.

Theseus nodded.

This reminded Newt of the silence he saw when he left.

"He is still alive," said Theseus. "He left New York some months ago and is somewhere in Europe. He is elusive and we do not know where exactly."

"But...he."

The image on the table changed, and a very blurry white appeared there.

“You want me to catch Credence and kill him?” Newt saw the color white and immediately thought of the Obscurial who was talking to Credence.

"You are still stubborn, Scamander."

A person walked out of the shadows.

He was covered in scars and had a ferocious look.

Grimson, the hired hunter.

Solve some magical creatures that are out of control and pose a danger to the Ministry of Magic.

The moment Newt saw him, he was extremely angry.

"What is he doing here?"

To Newt, who protects magical creatures, Grimson is a cold-blooded executioner.

Grimson sneered, "You are too weak. I will take over the job you can't do."

The screen on the desktop changed back to Credence. Grimson glanced at him and said contemptuously, "Is that him?"

Newt didn't want to be in the same room with the executioner for a moment, so he stood up and stalked out.

Travers rejected his application to leave the country.

Theseus took a deep breath and glanced at Grimson, who had taken Newt's place, and chased after his brother with great skill.

The two brothers met in the corridor.

Newt angrily stated that he was not the hunter Grimson.

Theseus also had his own difficulties, and only in this way could he reduce his brother's guilt.

And because Newt has sided with another person in the eyes of the Ministry, this is dangerous.

The Ministry of Magic's dirty tricks are no worse than Grindelwald's.

He needs to choose a side.

“I don’t choose!” Newt growled.

"Newt," Theseus looked at him deeply and opened his arms, "Hold me for a while."

Newt didn't respond or struggle, and was held by Theseus.

Theseus whispered in his ear, "They are watching you."

Between the Ministry of Magic and his younger brother, he chose his younger brother without hesitation.

As Theseus said, Newt found himself being watched not long after leaving the Ministry.

He used a whirlwind magic to throw the opponent away.

In a London alley, he saw a dangling glove.

Following the guidance of the gloves, he saw a person waving at him on the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral.

The glove gestured for a handshake, Newt grasped it, and he was Apparated away.

When he reappeared, he was already on the dome.

"Dumbledore, the inconspicuous rooftops are full?"

At forty-five, Dumbledore's auburn hair and beard were already showing signs of gray.

Newt handed the gloves back to him.

Dumbledore now has lost the impetuousness and naivety of youth, but he also does not have the twilight look and beard of old age.

He is at the peak of his career and has more of the calm and confident feeling of a British man.

"I do like to enjoy the scenery." Looking at the crowd below, this place is indeed very conspicuous. Dumbledore waved his wand, "It's misty."

A fog rose across London, hiding it from prying eyes.

...

Chapter 549 Hello, Circus

They Apparated again into the square.

Heading into the fog, Dumbledore asked Newt about the Ministry of Magic.

"They still believe it was you," Newt said. "They sent me to New York."

Dumbledore smiled and said, "You said it wasn't me?"

"Yes, although it was you." It was because Newt accepted Dumbledore's message and went to Egypt that the subsequent series of events happened.

Although Dumbledore told him that it was because the Dumbledore family had a special affinity with magical birds.

According to Dumbledore family legend, the phoenix will come when the Dumbledore family is in desperate need of help.

Dumbledore also gave an example that his great-grandfather was said to have a phoenix, but after his great-grandfather died, the phoenix flew away.

"Excuse me, Professor, but I don't believe that's why you told me about Thunderbird."

Newt is no longer the Newt who was fooled in school. He asked, "What about the dragon? Did you arrange him as well?"

"of course not."

The two of them were walking and chatting.

"I am also surprised, a talking dragon." Dumbledore glanced behind him and saw someone following him. He grabbed Newt's arm and the two of them disappeared in a flash.

Two figures appeared at Victoria Coach Station.

"Credence is in Paris, Newt," Dumbledore said, skipping over the subject of dragons. "He is searching for his real family. I suppose you have heard the rumors about his true identity?"

Real identity?

Newt said very honestly, "No."

Dumbledore and Newt board a stopped bus.

As they sat down, Dumbledore said, "Pure-blood wizards speculate that he is the last of an important French family."

"The baby that was thought to be missing."

Newt was shocked to hear the news.

An important French family?

A raven family crest appeared in his mind.

Lestrange?

"Lita's brother?"

Leta Lestrange.

Newt's classmate in school and also his crush.

Of course, this is all in the past.

Now Leta is the fiancée of another Scamander, and Newt's heart has already gone to another girl.

"That's what they guessed."

Dumbledore did not deny his guess and continued, "Pure-blood or not, what I know is that silence grows where there is a lack of love."

"Like the Dark Twins, they regard the host as their only companion." Dumbledore advised Newt, "If Credence had brothers or sisters who could replace the Obscurus, he might still be saved."

Dumbledore paused slightly here, and another person appeared in his mind.

His sister, Ariana Dumbledore.

I feel not only guilt but also regret.

If I had understood this truth at the time, the tragedy would not have happened.

"Wherever he is in Paris, he is either in danger or he is endangering others."

"Although his background is unclear, he must be found, and I would rather you find him."

Credence reminded him of his sister, and he wanted to make amends and stop Grindelwald.

Dumbledore conjured up a business card out of thin air. It was Nicolas Flamel's business card.

He handed it to Newt.

Newt studied the card suspiciously.

After arranging everything, Dumbledore Apparated away.

Newt chased after him, and after a while of them chasing each other, I went my own way.

Newt yelled, "Dumbledore, one more question."

Dumbledore paused in his Apparition.

Newt walked up quickly and asked, "Do you know the wizard with white hair?"

"elder?"

“No, young man,” Newt said. “He is the Obscurial. The Obscurial has complete control over the Obscurials.”

Dumbledore looked surprised.

"He may be related to Credence," Newt said, staring at Dumbledore, "and Grindelwald."

"I'm sorry, I don't remember anyone like this."

Dumbledore thought that if he had known such a person when he was young, Ariana's tragedy might not have happened.

"The white-haired wizard..."

Dumbledore's tactics of playing hard to get and his accurate grasp of Newt's psychology made him compromise successfully.

However, when Newt returned home, more things urged him to go to Paris.

...

Paris.

Hidden place.

The circus is back here.

Credence grows stubble.

Inside the monster tent, Nagini knelt beside a large box, stroking her circus costume.

It's time for her to perform on stage again.

Credence seemed to have given up on the possibility of being picked up by John, and he walked quickly towards Nagini.

She whispered through the bars: "Nagini."
