TRAVERS

Newt Scamander is in Paris.

DUMBLEDORE
Really?

TRAVERS
Cut the pretense. I know he’s there on your orders.

DUMBLEDORE
If you’d ever had the pleasure to teach him, you’d know Newt is not
a great follower of orders.

TRAVERS tosses a small book to DUMBLEDORE, who catches it in one hand.

TRAVERS
(indicating the book)
You’ve read The Predictions of Tycho Dodonus?

DUMBLEDORE
Many years ago.

TRAVERS
(reads)
“A son cruelly banished
Despair of the daughter
Return—”

DUMBLEDORE
Yes, I know it.

TRAVERS
There’s a rumor this prediction refers to the Obscurial. They say that
Grindelwald wants— DUMBLEDORE
—a highborn henchman. I’ve heard the rumor.

TRAVERS
And yet Scamander appears wherever the Obscurial goes, to protect
him. Meanwhile you have built up quite a little network of
international contacts— DUMBLEDORE
