The Start of Yet Another Great Adventure

Crynn POV

Mr. H took out the two pieces of paper with extra care and landed it softly on the furnished table. He flipped one of the papers to the other side and there's where the contents lay. On one paper is the map of the world with multiples Xs to mark different spots across the globe. On the other paper is stuck numerous drawings on other smaller papers.

"Interesting, Engorgio," the unspeakable waved his wand and the two papers swell in size turning from A4 to A3, now everything's much clearer. "Look at all these sketched drawings, this must be the locations he either visited or hoped to visit. Oh look, there's also the locations of each different places," he pointed on the map with excitement, going from one drawing to the other.

"This is the tomb we went to!" I spoke and showed a sketch of what looks like the ruins of Hamunaptra! But, this is such a realistic sketching, it shows the fine softness yet hard texture of sand and the hot red sun shining down on the ruins in a glare or majesty, standing pillars and sunken statues, all captured in one drawing!

"Oh?! Can't say I recognize the ruins but judging by the size of it, it should be a big tomb! One of our operatives in the past, died in one of Egypt's tombs, the ancient empire is really proficient i crafting all sorts of traps," I looked over Hamunaptra and came across the next sketch, it's a sketch of a large building fixed deep into a canyon, the building's probably about 5 stories tall with a gate three quarters the size of it.

"Look at this, numbers that corresponds to the map! Only two sites is in Egypt of African wise, your vampire tomb displayed as number one and the canyon as number two! Brasidas Malfoy must be going to these locations in order! Too bad he died on the first destination!" On the map, the numbers, one and two are very close to each other, I reckon a few miles of distance?

"So... How about you and you and you, go to number two!" The unspeakable cheerily said, waving his hands in the air. "I haven't agreed to this!" Newt Scamander all of a sudden shouted full of grievances, either way, he's coming with us. "Head Unspeakable, can you give us a minute to discuss this matter?" Mr. H nodded and walked away, giving us room for a conversation.

"Tacet Accumsan (Google Translate Latin : Silent Layer)," Scamander silently mouthed and flicked his wand into the air. He turned to me and came up to me. "I'll not do this," he pressured the 'not', time to use my trump card. "You do this, you'll get a free ticket to Egypt. Your international travel rights will be regained and who knows, you might find a sphinx!"

Newt Scamander bit his bottom lip, thinking too much on the subject, sweat is starting to come out, the gears in his head are really turning. "If I die, I will haunt you for the rest of my life!" Newt Scamander warned me. "Che, empty threats," I purposefully waved it to see Scamander's temper rise, and well, he's fuming.

Scamander hovered his wand and dispelled whatever spell he put before, probably something similar to Muffliato. "Unspeakable Head, we've decided to accept this glorious task!" I called out for Mr. H and he appeared in front of me. "Excellent! Delightful, now let's go back to the map!" He smiled and walked back to the table, further surveying the papers.

And then, the unspeakable suddenly got an idea to lift the drawing stuck on the paper, turns out, there's something on the back of each paper. He flipped the Hamunaptra drawing and a lustrous representation of the pearl I found in Hamunaptra is drawn on the back of the paper! He flipped the canyon picture and a large book is displayed!

"Could Brasidas Malfoy found a seer, how could he guess the important items and also the locations of them. Hmm... interesting," the unspeakable released a smile that couldn't be described. "Well, in this case, I prepared the right contract for all of you!" From his long sleeves, came out three more contracts for us to sign, the Wizarding World has a surplus of contracts, huh.

"To clear this up, this contract only states that all items collected based on the sketches of the objects beneath the drawing must be given to the Department of Mysteries Operatives. Any other items must be presented for screening and if prove not dangerous, can be given to the operative. So to sum it up, you will give us the items Brasidas Malfoy is finding."

"And also, we here in the Department of Mysteries Operatives have a different kind of system. Every discovery found by an operative that is not an object in any mission, can be given to the operative. On the pretense of having the item checked first for any dangers. So... Happy hunting?" I read the contract and its what he said so, signed.

Aria, signed, Newt Scamander, signed reluctantly, he's very reluctant. "Great! Will all of you directly do this mission?" The unspeakable brightly asked, even if he's wearing a mask, I can see his smile clearly, like an old fox. "Wait! I have my international travel rights revoked!" Newt Scamander quickly said, I could see the results of this.

"Ah! New York! You did make quite a mess even if Grindelwald's the one orchestrating everything but you're not out of blame. Once more, but because you're going on a mission, you'll get back your international travel rights. I'll quickly sign a paper under the Department of Mysteries that they've sent you on a 'research' task on magical creatures, is that all right?"

"All right, I'll inform my brother before going with this mission," Newt Scamander's eyes gleamed happily and skipped away. Well, I guess this marks the start of yet another great adventure.
