SCENE 44
EXT. CIRCUS ARCANUS, BIG TOP—NIGHT
The big top is on fire. Firedrakes weave patterns in the sky above it, trailing
showers of sparks. The fire has terrified and enraged the creatures. A hippogriff
is rearing and plunging while its handlers try to control it. Everywhere
performers are packing up, fast, elves shutting themselves into boxes, which fold
smaller and smaller.
TINA Apparates and, with a flick of her wand, puts out the fire.
The Zouwu crate is on fire and shaking perilously. The creature within roars and
howls. The Zouwu explodes out of it: a monstrous cat the size of an elephant,
five-colored, with a tail as long as a python. It has been horrendously abused:
Scars across its face, it is malnourished, limping, and now driven to a frenzy of
terror.
TINA spots CREDENCE in the distance.
