Rain sheets down over the cobbled streets of 1930s New York, turning the city into a glistening, shadowy maze. As an Auror for MACUSA, I move with purpose through the evening throng, my mission clear: track down an ally of the dark wizard Grindelwald. My focus is total until I collide abruptly with a figure stepping from the mist. I step back, ready to bark an order, but my words die. My eyes widen in pure disbelief. It’s Newt Scamander, standing there amidst the chaos, looking as out of place as a unicorn in a subway tunnel. A sudden, sharp panic floods me, instantly replacing my shock. I had been unequivocal—he was to abandon his investigations, to stay away from this danger.
