Paris No POV

Newt; Tina. Please, just listen to me.

Tina: Mr Scamander, I need to go talk to the Ministry. I know how you feel about Aurors.

Newt; I may have been a little strong in the way that I expressed myself in that letter.

Tina: what was the exact phrase? "A bunch of careerist hypocrites"?

Newt: I'm sorry, but I can't admire people whose answer to everything that they fear or misunderstand is "kill it."

Tina: I'm an Auror, Axel is an Auror in his own way and we don't.

Newt: yes, I know. That's because you've gone middle head.

Tina: <stops> excuse me?

Newt: it's an expression derived from the three heads of the Runespoor. So the middle one is the visionary. Now; every Auror in Europe wants Credence dead, except you. You've gone middle head.

Tina: who else uses that expression, Mr Scamander?

Next: I think it might just be me.

They've heard wind whooshing as they both see black sheets covering the buildings that only Wizards and Witches can see as the non-magical people were oblivious to it. They went to the middle of the street as Axel ran over to them.

Tina: it's Grindelwald. He's calling his followers.

The black sheets were all over Paris, Queenie was in another part of the city as she got close to one of the sheets and it showed a raven symbol on it.

Tina: it's too late. Grindelwald has come for Credence. He might already have him.

Newt: it's not too late. We can still get to him first. Come on, Axel.

They all started walking.

Tina: where are you going?

Newt; the French Ministry of Magic.

Tina: that's the last place Credence would go.

Axel: there's a box hidden in the Ministry, Tina.

Newt: it's a box that can tell us who Credence really is.

Tina: a box? What are you talking about?

Newt: trust us.

They kept on walking.

Elsewhere

Credence was inside an empty attic as he feed some bird seeds to a chick.

Credence: you wanna come out, just for a little while? You can be free.

Nagini: Credence.

They both climbed up to the roof as Grindelwald was sitting by the edge as he gestured them to be quiet.

Credence: what do you want?

Grindelwald; from you? Nothing. For you? Everything I never had. But what is it you want, my boy?

Credence: I want to know who I am.

Grindelwald: <takes out a piece of paper> this is where you will find proof of your true identity. <lets it float to him> come to Pere Lachaise tonight, and you will discover the truth.

Credence grabbed the paper and it was a map as Grindelwald disapparates.

Safe House
