Chapter 399 Why Does Dumbledore Appreciate You so Much?

After catching Newt and Jacob in the suitcase, Tina locked the suitcase and rushed to the MACUSA.

However, as soon as she entered the Serious Crimes Investigation Department, Tina was frightened by the people inside.

The cabinets and desks where the files were originally stored disappeared. Members of the International Confederation of Wizards from the magic ministries of various countries gathered together to question the MACUSA, which was about to expose wizards to Muggles.

The communication was suddenly interrupted, and everyone looked at Tina who broke in, which made Tina, who wanted to speak, go blank on the spot.

Did she interrupt another important meeting?

However, it was too late to leave now. Under the question of President Seraphina, Tina still told her purpose. However, she didn't know that her report directly involved them in another matter and put them in a more dangerous situation than the punishment they had imagined before.

Looking at the three people being taken away in the movie, Mrs. Tina slowly clenched one hand, and then it was suddenly covered by a slightly larger hand.

"That's not your fault."

Newt looked at Mrs. Tina gently,

"You didn't know that this would happen."

To be honest, Newt really didn't think there was anything wrong with Tina reporting him. After all, he did violate the laws of the American Magic Congress and smuggled a box of magical animals.

If nothing went wrong as planned, it would be fine, but those magical animals sneaked out, and Tina reported him as a duty.

In the original situation, he would at most be locked up, and then wait for his brother in the British Ministry of Magic to extradite him. The only thing he needed to worry about was that those magical animals might be harmed.

Who would have thought that Grindelwald would come out halfway and take this opportunity to throw the pot of Obscurus on their heads, which led to so many subsequent events.

At this time, Grindelwald in the movie was already interrogating Newt.

Of course, no audience has discovered that Graves is Grindelwald yet. The pattern of the Deathly Hallows on his pocket can only be said to be an easter egg that may be discovered when you look back.

Facing Newt, Graves told Newt about his past when he was expelled from Hogwarts because of an incident involving magical animals that endangered the lives of others.

In response, a professor defended him in every possible way, but ultimately failed to prevent Newt from being expelled.

Just when everyone couldn't help but wonder what exactly caused Newt to be expelled, Graves looked at Newt and suddenly changed the subject:

"So... why does Dumbledore appreciate you so much?"

Audience:?

Although this sentence tells us that the person who defended Newt in every possible way was Professor Dumbledore, which made them more certain that there was something else behind the incident.

But is there a little problem with the logic of this question?

"......?"

Professor Dumbledore also couldn't help but put a question mark. He turned his head and looked at Grindelwald beside him, and the silent silence was deafening.

"..."

Facing Professor Dumbledore's silent gaze, Professor Grindelwald looked calm, but couldn't help but secretly wondered why Adam, this kid, spread everything.

He is already old, doesn't he have any face?

"You still have face?"

Adam was shocked when he saw this idea.

Professor, it was not like this when you gave me the memory of your love affair with Professor Dumbledore!

Graves in the movie seemed to just mention it casually, and then led the topic to Newt's release of magical animals. Although Newt argued that he did not deliberately release those magical animals, and did not have the idea of ​​causing a war between wizards and Muggles, but...

When Graves took out the Obscurus in Newt's suitcase, all the excuses became futile.

Before, when Newt just came out of the suitcase, facing everyone's accusation that it was his magical animal that killed the Muggle, he said that the injury came from the Obscurus.

And Newt happened to have an Obscurus.

However, Newt defended himself again, this was an Obscurus that had lost its host, and after he managed to imprison it, it could not go anywhere and could not cause damage.

According to Adam's research, this is indeed the case. After losing the possessed wizard, creatures like the spiritual dimension of the Obscurus will no longer have any intersection with Muggles or even wizards.

"So it is useless after losing its host?"

Graves, or Grindelwald, has no deep understanding of magical animals at all. He looks down on those creatures that have magical abilities but can only use simple, instinctive magic. He is more interested in those profound and complex magic.

It is this contempt that led to Grindelwald's loss of the blood alliance later. Of course, that is the story later.

"Useless?"

Newt keenly noticed the wrongness in Graves's words.

When a person says that something is useless, then he must have thought of using it.

Not to mention that through the reactions of the people in the American Magic Congress just now, they have not found the Obscurus for hundreds of years... Who would think of using the Obscurus?

Newt's observation ability is quite sharp, otherwise he can't take care of so many magical animals with his love for magical animals. He doesn't have the amazing frankness of Hagrid.

This point was also reflected later. When Newt heard Professor Dumbledore say that he could not fight against Grindelwald, he noticed the blood alliance on Grindelwald.

Grindelwald: x-on:%& # ￥!

Graves, who was found to have a flaw in his words, did not respond to Newt's words, but instead talked about Newt's crime - no matter what, it was a fact that Newt brought an Obscurus to New York.

As for Newt's statement that an Obscurus without a host would not hurt people - who can prove it?

The harm of the Obscurus is well known to everyone, and the Magical Congress of the United States of America cannot verify a recognized fact based on the one-sided statement of Newt, a criminal.

Not to mention that only Graves presided over the interrogation and conviction of the two. He quickly sentenced Newt and Tina to death in a few words and executed them immediately.

The way the Magical Congress of the United States of America executes the death penalty is the death pool, an execution facility filled with death potion. During the execution, the staff of the Congress will extract the good memories of the prisoner to lure the other party into the death pool.

As for the death potion inside... it is a corrosive potion that works particularly well on magical substances. It can also corrode non-magical substances, so it is extremely troublesome to store and has very limited value.

Thanks to the Bowtruckle that insisted on sticking to Newt before, Newt was able to unlock the shackles on his hands and fight back to knock out the two executioners.

At the same time, Queenie, who sensed that Tina was in danger, intercepted Jacob who was about to be taken to cast the Forgetting Spell, and found Newt's wands and Newt's suitcase in Graves' office.
