Hogwarts: The Obscurial War School

Theseus Scamander, a fine young man.

This is a common knowledge of the Ministry of Magic.

Compared to his younger brother who always loves to get into trouble, Theseus's resume is so luxurious that it's hard to believe

Theseus also graduated from Hufflepuff College at Hogwarts, but he had excellent grades and became an Auror as soon as he graduated.

Ten years ago, Theseus and a large number of wizards participated in World War I and won the title of war hero.

After that, Theseus experienced great achievements in his job as an Auror, and before he was forty years old, he took up the position of Director of the Auror Office.

With handsome appearance and outstanding temperament, Theseus, who was born in Hufflepuff, is synonymous with reliability in everyone's eyes, while Newt is the opposite.

For many years, Theseus has been the golden son-in-law of the Ministry of Magic. He is sought after by a large number of idle female staff and is definitely the top one among a group of bald old men.

But all this became a thing of the past after the newspaper went on sale a few months ago.

After all, official announcement = losing fans.

Seeing Theseus walking up in high spirits, Newt couldn't help but grin. He didn't want to see his brother at all.

Theseus stood before him like a mirror.

Newt loves his current job and life, but in the eyes of others he is far inferior to the young talent Theseus.

"Actually, I don't remember." Newt whispered softly, making Leta's face darken.

After all, there is no going back.

"Hello." Theseus greeted him with a smile, and they gathered in front of the door leading to the hearing.

"Theseus," Leta said, "we were just talking about Newt coming to dinner."

"Really? Okay." Theseus looked a little surprised, but he immediately focused on business again, "Newt, before we go in, I have————

"This is the fifth time I've come to apply to lift the ban," Newt interrupted Theseus, "I know the rules."

"This time is different from before -" Theseus said with some embarrassment, "This time, this time you should try to broaden your ideas as much as possible, okay? Then, stop being so..."

"Like me?" Newt smiled.

Theseus also felt that what he said was not quite right, but that was what he meant. Newt's style was not liked by the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, and it would not be a positive help for him to lift the ban on international travel permits.

"Come on, let's go." Theseus opened the door with Newt and walked in. Leta watched. She had just entered the Ministry of Magic, and the hearing was not something she could enter.

This was a small hearing, but Newt looked not much different from when he was interrogated by 'Graves' half a year ago.

Participating in the hearing was his old acquaintance Torquier Truss, Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic - he was the one who applied to lift the ban to deal with Newt the previous four times!

His brother Theseus actually pulled up a chair and sat there. This was something Newt didn't expect. What made him even more surprised was that there were two people he had never seen before.

Why is the formation so big?

Newt felt weird in his heart. He had a natural keen sense of smell. When he was interrogated by Graves, who was pretending to be Grindelwald, he noticed something was wrong in just a few words, and this time too.

He had a vague hunch that this hearing was more of a pretext to discuss whether to lift his ban.

Travers presided over the hearing. There were some documents in front of him, including Newt's arrest warrant when he was in the United States, and pictures of the destruction in New York. There was indeed damage by Newt's animals, but there were more They were all torn apart by the powerful magic power that escaped when Aurelius went berserk.

Grindelwald took the blame for Aurelius, but Newt's magical animals couldn't blame him.

"You want to apply to lift the ban on your departure from abroad," Travers said. "Why?"

Newt's answer was the same as before. He had said the same thing last time and the last time before that - "Because I like to travel abroad."

"The persons prohibited from leaving the country are uncooperative and evasive about the reasons for their previous departure." A white-haired old man muttered with a thick German accent, but his voice could be heard clearly by everyone present.

Newt didn't like him, especially the scars on his face and chin. Newt recognized at a glance that they were bite marks from the sheep-eating beast, a magical creature unique to America!

It should be a young sheep-eating beast, otherwise there would be no wounds left, but the entire neck would be amputated!

That's right, this white-haired German guy is none other than Rudolf Szpilman, who was sent to the Magical Congress of Magnesium to extradite Grindelwald and let him escape more than two months ago!

Because Grindelwald escaped from prison in his hands and almost lost his life, and his face was disfigured by a sheep-eating beast, the little old man had a hard time in the past three months. He was hiding in the hospital like an ostrich. He hoped that it was all a dream and that when he came out of the hospital, he would still be the famous wizard.

But he didn't understand the reality. Apparently, the facts would not follow his wishes, and his reputation plummeted. And he still wants to maintain the same airs as before.

Travers looked at him displeased, old boy, you are overstepping your bounds!

"That was just a field trip, sir. To collect information for the book I was writing about magical animals." Newt hated this kind of communication, but how could anyone not bow his head under the roof? Who asked him to beg now? Let these people lift the ban!

"You ruined half of New York." Travers regained the right to speak.

"No," Newt frowned. This is why he hates the Ministry of Magic. Newt explained seriously, "In terms of authenticity, the two items you mentioned are not correct. First of all, it is not me—— "

"Newt!" Theseus said softly but firmly.

Newt closed his mouth and frowned. He didn't know why Theseus wanted him to shut up. Wasn't this tantamount to acquiescence? Can he take the blame?

But Newt believed in Theseus. Maybe they had differences on some points of view, but he knew that Theseus was his brother and would not harm him.

At this time, another black strange wizard spoke: "Mr. Scamander, you are obviously frustrated, and to be honest, we are too. In the spirit of concession negotiation, we are willing to make a motion."

What kind of motion?”

"The committee agreed to revoke your travel ban on one condition." Travers said. He leaned forward slightly, but unexpectedly, with such a small pause, Rudolph began to grab the words, " You join the Ministry of Magic and are assigned to your brother's department.

Without thinking, Newt shook his head and refused: "No," but seeing Theseus's expression, Newt remembered Theseus's instructions just now, so he began to explain, "Theseus is an Auror, but I His talents are in other areas."

…Please give me flowers…

"Mr. Scamander..." Old Black was still trying his best to convince him: "The magical world and the non-magical world have coexisted peacefully for more than a century. Grindelwald wants to witness this peaceful destruction with his own eyes. For us, For a certain group of people, his news is very tempting."

"Many pure-blood wizards believe in the innate right to rule, not just our world but the non-magical world as well, and they see Grindelwald as their hero, and Grindelwald sees Credence as the one who makes everything come true. via………."

"Wait a minute——" Newt suddenly stopped, with a surprised expression on his face: "Who are you talking about?"

"Credence, our information only tells us this name. Ever since he escaped from prison, Grindelwald has been frantically looking for such a person." Travers stared at him: "You seem to know something?"

Newt frowned and recalled, "I, this name sounds so familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere before."

The old black man said excitedly: "Really? Mr. Scamander, take a good look and confirm -" The old black man waved his wand, the tabletop rippled like water, and Aurelius's appearance appeared inside.

....00

"It's him?!" Newt suddenly remembered.

Credence, he has heard this name before! He heard it from Tina!

When they were executed at Magical Congress, Newt saw it in Tina's memory. Later, during the chat, he learned that that was the reason why Tina lost her position as Auror.

Because she couldn't bear the mistreatment of a child by a Muggle, she cast a curse on the Muggle in public.

The abused child is called Credence!

"Do you really know him? Then do you know where he is? This is very important, Mr. Scamander!" Lao Hei couldn't help but stood up excitedly and asked.

Newt glanced at him in surprise, he didn't know why this boy was so important, this... seems to have nothing to do with my hearing, right?"

"Mr. Guzman," Travers pulled Old Black down and motioned for him to calm down, then turned to Newt: "Mr. Scamander, I can make you a promise, as long as you help us find him, your ban It can be lifted now.”

Newt was puzzled: "What happened to this boy? Why is Grindelwald looking for him? Why are you looking for him again?"

"This is not something you should care about. You can even regard this as a deal. Not only can you lift the ban, but you can also become a war hero." Travers crossed his hands on the table and stared at Newt. Waiting for his reply.

"Find him and then what?"

"What then? Protect him, of course."

"Are you sure you want to protect him? Not kill him?" Newt said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Mr. Scamander! Please watch your words! We are the Ministry of Magic and law enforcers. How could we kill a child for no reason?!" Travers was annoyed.

"Hey, Scamander is still stubborn..." A sinister voice sounded from behind the marble pillars, and a sinister middle-aged wizard came out with a sinister smile.

All because of the hideous scars on his face.

Newt immediately glared at each other: "What is he doing here? Son!".
