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 and I don’t—
NEWT

Yes, and that’s because you’ve gone middle head!
TINA

(stopping)
Excuse me?
NEWT

It’s an expression derived from the three heads of the Runespoor.
The middle one is the visionary. Every Auror in Europe wants
Credence dead—except you. You’ve gone middle head.

A beat.
TINA

Who else uses that expression, Mr. Scamander?

NEWT considers.
NEWT

I think it might just be me.

All lights are extinguished as every building is wrapped in black banners.

Muggles pass, totally immune, but a YOUNG RED-HAIRED WITCH nearby is
walking along. She, like NEWT and TINA, can see the banners.

TINA steps into the middle of the road, watching the black silk fall out of the sky
to shroud the surrounding buildings in darkness.

TINA

It’s Grindelwald. He’s calling his followers.
