Fun Facts: I also love Warrior Cats and Fantastic Beasts!

I just finished watching Fantastic Beasts: The crimes of Grindelwald for the first time... Oh my gosh. Why did it leave me on a cliffhanger? So Aurelius Dumbledore/Credence is Aberforth's secret son?? Or is he someone else?

In Fantastic Beast: the Crimes of Grindelwald, in the scene where Dumbledore is going to get the magic cuff things and lose his job, there is a boy. He is light blonde and in Slytherin... Is it possible to be Lucius Malfoy? If no one knows, I guess I just have a theory...

The rp takes place and time in the movie series Fantastic Beasts.

Personally idc about what's going on with Dumbledore and grindelwald and their drama. i just wanted FB to be a series with NEWT as a protagonist and only his story along with his friends and creatures( especially his creatures and tina).

I didn't liked SOD at all because they were totally out of what i expected and wanted. COG was okay but WTFT was still the best. They shouldn't have cancelled the 4th movies. instead should have made it newt's story without dumbledore/ grindelwald crap. and lacking of tina (one of the lead protagonist) was really disappointing.

P.S this fan made photo looks funny!

7. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

These are some headcanons I have about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in no particular order:

• Mary Lou knew that Credence was magic, but only because she thought his mother was Irma Dugard - a half-elf, half-witch would certainly be "wicked" and "unnatural" in her book.

• Leta used to hold her breath under water for as long as she could.

• The only people Credence ever truly cared for were Modesty, Nagini, and Aberforth.

• In present-day, Credence isn't very well-known, because most people don't know that Credence Barebone and Aurelius Dumbledore are one and the same.

• Credence, due to being the one to most often care for Modesty, is surprisingly good with children.

• Credence's aunt on the ship who drowned trying to save Corvus was actually his mother; she only said she was his aunt because she wasn't about to announce that she was the unwed mother of the child she had with her.

• Chastity was a Squib whose magical parents abandoned her in a No-Maj orphanage after they realized she didn’t have magic, only for her to be adopted shortly afterwards by Mary Lou Barebone.

• Aberforth holds a grudge against Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and against the entire Magical Congress of the United States, because Ilvermorny never detected Credence, and because of how badly MACUSA handled Credence’s case, even in present-day, nearly a hundred years later.

• Leta's father purposely sent his son to Mary Lou, figuring that Yusuf Kama would never suspect that young Corvus was in the care of a magic-hater, and that he would come retrieve him once it was save. Only, when he came to get his son back, Credence was there instead.

I haven’t actually watched any of the Fantastic Beasts movies. I’ve only read the screenplays. I’m making this post in the hopes of getting something cleared up for me.

In The Crimes of Grindelwald, at some point it mentions that it’s been about six months since Paris. (I think.) Eulalies tells Jacob that “just over a year ago” he became acquainted with the magical world. So, the first and third movies would be about a year apart.

Yet the wiki says it’s been five years, and it’s 1932. That wasn’t mentioned anywhere in the screenplay. Did the movie mention this?

Five years, to me, just seems too long. Credence never had doubts about Grindelwald in all that time? Queenie was in Nurmengard for all that time? Jacob went home and moped for five years until Eulalie found him?

Six months between Paris and Bhutan would make more sense to me. This would also account for Theseus losing control when faced with Grindelwald and his followers - he’s the head Auror, he’s trained for situations like this, but if it’s only been a few months since Leta’s death it would make sense, rather than the pain still being so sharp and raw five years later.

So I guess I’m asking where exactly it’s specified that it’s 1932, or if I’m free to headcanon that it’s only been six months?

This is the first chapter of a fanfiction I wrote (also on AO3). I haven't written the rest yet.

As an aside, for the purposes of this fanfiction there's only about a year in between the first and third Fantastic Beasts movies.

Questions and suggestions welcome!

The Obscurial was a problem.

He'd joined Grindelwald, yes, but not because he believed that wizards should rule over the world. Not because he believed that those of nonmagical blood were lesser. Not because he wanted to fight for a better world, a world where wizards ruled. Not for any of the reasons that his acolytes followed him. No, he'd only wanted to find out who he was.

Now that he did know who he was - or his real name, at least - his loyalty was wavering. His Legilimens had told him so; he regularly asked her to check up on his followers, but especially him. Her own loyalty was always suspect, of course, but all he had to do was drop a few remarks about how wizards and Muggles could live together in peace once he'd succeeded and about how no man, not even a Muggle, under his protection would come to any harm, and she was his again. But for the Obscurial, it wasn't that simple. Especially as he realized the consequences of his decision, as he saw what he was being asked - ordered - to do, what they were all training for. Foolish boy, war is war. Anything is necessary for the greater good.

Grindelwald wasn't about to just let him leave. He had put in immense time and effort to find the Obscurial, and it had been nearly as hard to get him to join his side.

He couldn't force him to stay. He was incredibly skilled, but the boy was an Obscurial - if he so chose, he could bring Nurmengard Castle tumbling down. He couldn't imprison him - his magic was the most powerful, destructive thing on earth. Above all, he could not risk the Obscurial turning against him.

The Obscurial was, however, emotionally vulnerable, and so far Grindelwald had used that in his favor. Deep inside, the boy wanted an authority figure to care about him, whom he could take orders from and trust unconditionally.

But if that stopped working? There was another way to get him to obey, a way that would ensure his loyalty without resorting to magical force. All because of the boy's foolish emotional sentimentality. But then, that was why he'd joined in the first place, so Grindelwald was grateful that the powerful Obscurial was so emotionally weak.

There was one person that Grindelwald knew that the Obscurial cared for. He'd even faced his worst fear, the thing he most dreaded, for her. The evidence from New York was more than enough, and his Legilimens had mentioned that he still thought of her.

If the Muggle girl Modesty Barebone was in danger, the Obscurial would do anything.

When young, and older, Leta would fill up the sink and plunge her face in.

She'd hold her breath as long as possible, blood thundering in her ears. That's what it was like for Corvus, she thought, as though she needed any reminding.

She never lasted more than three minutes. She'd gasp and sputter, dripping wet, swaying with dizziness.

She always felt like crying. This was how she'd killed her brother; she wanted to share his suffering. Yet always, the urge for air overcame her; she'd think of Corvus in the dark green sea, nothing but water in his lungs.

This is basically the POV of Leta Lestrange's father, Corvus Lestrange the Fourth, on sending his children to America so Yusuf Kama wouldn't find them. Basically him valuing his son's safety above all else and his daughter's not at all. But then, what else would you expect of him?

He'd send his son to America, Corvus decided.

His sources told him that young Kama was on the hunt, out to avenge his mother. Thus far, Corvus and his wife and children were all unharmed; if Kama had made any attempt to harm them, he didn't know of it. The Lestrange manor was well warded. But he could not trust that Kama would one day bypass them, just as he had figured out how to bypass the wards on the Kama manor. To send his son away, until Kama either gave up or was dealt with, was the best option.

He couldn't place him in the care of a wizarding family there - the ones his family was affiliated with would be obvious targets, and the ones his family wasn't affiliated with would have questions as to why, exactly, Kama was so intent on hunting an infant down, questions Corvus would rather not answer.

He couldn't trust his son to the anonymity of a Muggle orphanage, either. A Muggle orphanage would have no magical protection at all.

However, there were Muggle families to consider.

Normally, he wouldn't even consider it - leaving his only son, his heir, scion of the Lestrange pureblood line, in the care of Muggles. But then, these were not normal circumstances. Anything had to be done to keep Kama from finding his son. Hopefully, he'd be able to....take care of Kama soon enough. But in the meanwhile, desperate times called for desperate measures.

He was currently arranging, through a middleman, for his son to be adopted by a Muggle woman named Mary Lou Barebone.

He had obtained a copy of a list of prospective adoptive parents from New York, along with any information that could be found out about them. Mary Lou had caught his eye, because she knew that magic existed - and hated it.

He didn't know how she had found out about magic. Wasn't the International Statue of Secrecy upheld even more fiercely in America than it was in France?

But he certainly wasn't going to stir up trouble, not when this served his purposes so well.

She knew about magic. She knew magic existed. She got many of the details wrong, but she was right in the basics. And she hated magic with a passion.

She despised all forms of witchcraft vehemently. She would likely rather die than knowingly house a magical child under her roof - or have the magical child die.

And that was what he was banking on.

No one - not Kama, not any of his associates, not anyone in the wizarding community, no one would suspect that he'd sent his son to the care of a magic-hater. Wizards steered clear of Muggles - except Muggle-borns, probably, but that was only to be expected - and especially Muggles who hated magic. The International Statute of Secrecy had been accepted worldwide for a reason.

The Second Salem Church was the last place Kama would look. His son would be safe there.

There was the small risk that Mary Lou would notice signs of magic from little Corvus. But it shouldn't take more than a couple of years to take care of this whole situation, and then he'd retrieve his son, either wiping the Barebone woman's memories or killing her to be on the safe side. No one would notice one less Muggle.

As an afterthought, he decided he might as well send Leta as well. Kama probably wouldn't try to kill her too, being as they shared a mother, but it was best to be on the safe side, just in case. If his daughter was killed by her own half-brother, people would talk. It would look bad. And even if Kama wasn't searching for her, too, if he sent only his son to safety and not his daughter, that would also cast a stain upon his reputation. She could live with the house-elf for a bit in America, he supposed. The details didn't concern him.
