A month and a half ago, shortly after a Hogwarts field trip, a Kraken that had wandered from the Atlantic Ocean to North America was herded back.
Newt Scamander's mission will be successfully completed once he safely guides it back to the North Sea.
If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is bound to happen.
Unlike the one in the Black Lake at Hogwarts, this one was driven back by America's Auror and was already in a bad mood on the way.
Fortunately, Newt Scamander is sensible and knows to massage its suction cups.
But alas, when Scrimgeour saw the Kraken's tentacles coil around him, he immediately ordered his fellow Auror to launch a rescue operation.
Once a spell is cast, its bad temper flares up again.
If you stay in the North Sea for too long, you can't even take a vacation in the Norway Sea?
Newt Scamander was lucky; at least Kraken didn't hurt him.
While protecting him from the "evil wizard's" attacks, he was accidentally exposed to seawater several times.
That day was the meeting between Fudge and Lockhart.
The Ministry of Magic was in an uproar, and it took several days to finally stabilize the situation.
Unfortunately, when Newt Scamander opened the box, a crazy Ministry of Magic official accused it of being a dangerous item and that it shouldn't be used to store the equally dangerous Kraken.
If they're already willing to crawl into the box, what else do these "evil wizards" want to do?
On this day, Lockhart visited the headquarters of Wizengamot.
Newt Scamander managed to put Kraken into the box only after the crazy Ministry of Magic official had drunk his fill of seawater.
Unsurprisingly, more surprises will follow.
The jinx came true.
Just as the group appeared in the North Sea, some of the little cuties in the box ran out.
Newt Scamander releases the Kraken and embarks on a journey to find them.
Once the matter was resolved smoothly, the eccentric Ministry of Magic officials jumped out again, accusing him of carrying too many dangerous magical creatures.
Kraken, who had calmed down, was enraged again when his newly acquainted friend was bullied.
The North Sea is their habitat; just because we couldn't defeat them before doesn't mean we can't defeat them now.
In the end, Dumbledore came to the rescue.
To cover up the Kraken riots, Vincent was inexplicably given a huge amount of publicity.
Newt Scamander was subsequently arrested.
Faced with several charges from a brain-dead official, he sought out Dumbledore to be his lawyer.
The Ministry of Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Law Enforcement was very efficient, completing all the preparations for the trial in just two days.
The result was naturally no guilty verdict; the blame lies with the officials for their insane behavior of repeatedly jumping out.
"Who exactly is she?" Vincent asked, his face full of curiosity. "Why does she have to come out and make her presence known when she could just stay on the sidelines and watch?"
"Former Director of the Improper Use of Magic Office, now Senior Secretary."
Newt Scamander shuddered. "Merlin, I should have stayed in Dorset so I wouldn't keep thinking about her grotesque face."
The image of him dressed entirely in pink and speaking in a shrill, piercing voice is enough to send chills down your spine.
Vincent felt severely unwell, both physically and mentally.
This damn curiosity... I shouldn't have taken my hand down in the first place.
He glanced at Dumbledore, who was secretly pleased with himself, and suddenly took a few steps back warily.
"Professor, shouldn't I be able to know these top-secret Ministry of Magic messages?"
"It really shouldn't be like this, but I think you need to know."
Vincent was about to press for more information, several people suddenly fell from the sky.
They came using Portkey.
An elderly man and two elderly women.
"Safe landing!" The plump old man smiled as he looked at Newt Scamander, whose expression was extremely unnatural.
"Old friend, it's been a long time."
An old woman looked very unwell, as if she didn't want to see anyone.
"Long time no see, Jacob." Newt Scamander gave him a warm hug, then looked at another elderly woman, "And Queenie, it's been almost two years since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"
Queenie Goldstein! A born Legilimency master!
The smile on her face gradually faded. "Newt Scamander, you're in big trouble—"
"Queenie!"
The one who stopped her was her biological sister, Tina Goldstein.
She is also Newt Scamander's wife.
"Tina, it's all Dumbledore's fault. He insisted that I go to the Norway Sea."
"That's no excuse for you to sneak away." Tina turned around with a dark expression.
Newt Scamander stepped forward anxiously. "The situation was urgent, and it turned out they only messed things up."
"Yes, you are the first Magizoologist in history."
"Don't do that, Tina." He glared at Dumbledore, who was smirking. "I've made up my mind. This year, we'll begin our fifth round-the-world trip."
Tina's expression softened. "Aren't you supposed to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts?"
"I'll resign! I'll resign right now!"
Dumbledore's eyes were somewhat vacant. "Wait, I also—"
"Screw you, Albus Dumbledore!" Newt Scamander said firmly. "Whether you approve it or not, I'm not doing it!"
With less than two months until the new semester starts, where can I find another unlucky—new professor?
"Pfft—" Vincent couldn't hold it in any longer.
This was the first time he had ever seen Dumbledore end of the stick.
Such a wonderful thing is so exciting that everyone wants to clap and celebrate.
"I apologize— Tina, it's all my fault."
"She won't accept it, give up."
There was nothing Dumbledore could do but accept his fate.
He winked at Jacob and Queenie to indicate that he was alright, then looked at Vincent made no attempt to hide his joy.
"Queenie, this is the child."
Vincent was stared at by her for a long time.
"A natural-born master of Occlumency?!" Tina let go of Newt Scamander's hand and stood next to Queenie.
Immune to all soul-related magic, which means you can completely ignore the Imperius Curse of the Three Unforgivable Curses.
Control, brainwashing, and illusions have no effect on him.
Queenie gently shook her head at Dumbledore. "I could only tell from his expression that he was nervous."
Vincent breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm relaxed now, but I still don't know what he's thinking."
Even natural Legilimency masters cannot infiltrate, meaning that most evil Dark Magic will be ineffective.
In other words, it also means that there will be no terrible consequences for using Dark Magic.
For example, the Killing Curse, which gradually distorts one's personality.
Vincent coughed. "Could it also grant immunity to Dementors?"
"That's right." Queenie nodded very seriously. "They can't steal your soul or interfere with your emotions."
Everyone in Azkaban is talented and speaks so nicely. I love being there!
Newt Scamander and Tina looked at each other and smiled knowingly, as if they had remembered something.
America's Magical Congress has a special pool of potions used for executions.
Extract the prisoner's happy memories and throw them into the pool so that he can receive the highly corrosive potion without pain.
In the end, he died a gruesome death, his body even disintegrating along with the chair.
Is it merciful?
Is it cruel?
