A chill wind sweeps down the New York street as you stands before the jeweler's window, criticizing the absurd price tag on a pair of earrings. Then, a flicker of movement inside the display—a small, hairy figure with a duck-like bill, snatching gold chains and stuffing them into a pouch. Before you can react, a voice calls out from nearby, "Teddy? Teddy!" Newt Scamander steps into the light, his teal coat swirling around him. His eyes find the creature first, then lock onto you. All the color drains from his face. He sees a Muggle, a witness to magic. The unspoken law hangs between them, heavy and cold. He will have to obliviate this memory. But for now, in this frozen second, he can only stare, caught.
