The Demoness's Grace, the Undying One's Composure! (5,000 Words; All Bonus Chapters Complete)
Although Newt had said he would see her in the afternoon, when afternoon actually came, he had already vanished off to who-knew-where, leaving behind only a piece of parchment explaining the situation.
As Newt put it, there were still so many Fantastic Beasts being harmed in Britain. How could he sit by and do nothing?
As a member of the Scamander Family, he had to fulfill his duty to protect Fantastic Beasts to the very end!

All one could say was... old Newt had been born to protect Fantastic Beasts!
And even if this Norwegian Ridgeback had any bad ideas, old Newt wasn't worried in the slightest.

Of course, old Newt didn't know that Professor Dumbledore had absolutely no control over the Room of Requirement.
Still, that didn't matter. Professor Dumbledore might not be able to find out what was happening
