Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Page #4

Synopsis: Holding a mysterious leather suitcase in his hand, Newt Scamander, a young activist wizard from England, visits New York while he is on his way to Arizona. Inside his expanding suitcase hides a wide array of diverse, magical creatures that exist among us, ranging from tiny, twig-like ones, to majestic and humongous ones. It is the middle of the 20s and times are troubled since the already fragile equilibrium of secrecy between the unseen world of wizards and the ordinary or "No-Maj" people that the MACUSA Congress struggles to maintain, is at risk of being unsettled. In the meantime, the voices against wizardry keep growing with daily protests led by Mary Lou Barebone and fuelled by the increasing disasters ascribed to a dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald. At the same time, by a twist of fate, Newt's precious suitcase will be switched with the identical one of an aspiring No-Maj baker, Jacob Kowalski, while demoted Auror, Tina Goldstein, arrests Newt for being an unregistered wizard.

Im always alone, Mrs. Esposito!

Teenie, you brought men home?

Gentlemen, this is my sister.

You want to put something on, Queenie?

-Sure.

So, who are they?

-Thats Mr. Scamander.

Hes committed a serious infraction

of the National Statute of Secrecy.

Hes a criminal?

-Uh-huh.

And this is Mr. Kowalski, hes a No-Maj.

-A No-Maj?

Teen, what are you up to?

-Hes sick, its a long story.

Mr. Scamander has lost something,

Im going to help him find it.

You need to sit down, honey.

Hey, he hasnt eaten all day.

Thats rough, he didnt get

the money he wanted for his bakery.

You bake, honey?

I love to cook.

-Youre a Legilimens?

Uh-huh, yeah. But I always have trouble

with your kind. Brits. Its the accent.

You know how to read minds?

-Dont worry, honey.

Most guys think what you was

thinking, first time they see me.

Now, you need food.

Hot dog... again? -Dont read my

mind! -Not a very wholesome lunch.

Hey, Mr. Scamander,

you prefer pie or strudel?

I really dont have a preference.

You prefer strudel, huh, honey?

Strudel it is.

Well, sit down, Mr. Scamander.

Were not going to poison you.

Youre upset. Its your mother again.

Somebodys said something,

what did they say? Tell me.

Do you think Im a freak? -No, I

think youre a very special young man

or I wouldnt have asked

you to help me, now would I?

Have you any news?

-Im still looking.

Mr. Graves, if I knew

whether it was a girl or boy...

My vision showed only

the childs immense power.

He or she is no older than ten,

and I saw this child in close

proximity to your mother.

She I saw so plainly.

That could be any one of hundreds.

-There is something else.

Something I havent told you.

I saw you beside me in New York.

Youre the one that gains this childs trust.

You are the key, I saw this.

You want to join the wizarding world.

I want those things too,

Credence. I want them for you.

So find the child. Find the

child and well all be free.

The job aint that glamorous. I

mean, I spend most days making coffee,

unjinxing the john.

Tinas the career girl.

Nah. Were orphans. Ma and Pa died

of dragon pox when we were kids.

Youre sweet. But we got each other!

Could you stop reading

my mind for a second?

Dont get me wrong,

I love it.

This meal, its insanely good!

This is what I do, Im a cook.

And this is, like, the greatest

meal I have ever had in my life.

Oh, you slay me! I aint never really

talked to a No-Maj before.

Really?

I am not flirting!

Im just saying, dont go getting attached,

hes going to have to be obliviated!

Its nothing personal.

Hey, you okay, honey? -Miss Goldstein, I think

Mr. Kowalski could do with an early night.

And besides, you and I will need to be up
