Complicated Story

Crynn POV

"Newt, what made those?" Jacob looked at the image created by Newt's revelio, it's a giant lion-like creature, with upside own saber teeth and a lot more sharp razors inside. And also a very long, very fluffy and feathery looking red tail. "It's a Chinese creature, they are incredibly fast and incredibly powerful, they can travel a thousand miles in a day. This one could take you from the edge of Paris to the other in a single leap."

Newt and Jacob stood entranced towards the magical beast for a second or two, it sure is majestic and as majestic as it sounds, it will eventually fall inside Newt's briefcase. The niffler's soft purring disturbed Newt's observation as it started to roll around on the street, just on top of a golden footprint.

"Ah! Good boy," Newt happily complimented the niffler and went closer to gaze down on the footprint. "Jacob, she was here," Newt called for Jacob and he rushed by Newt's side, still holding that damned portkey bucket. "Tina stood here. She has incredibly narrow feet, have you noticed?" Newt asked Jacob with a misty expression but why would Jacob possibly want to notice the size of Tina's feet.

"Can't say that I have," called it! Newt then slowly but surely turned his head following the direction in which the footprint stood to. "Someone came towards her," he remarked when he directly faces a dark colored male with a fashionable hat shorter than Newt by only a few centimeters. But what Newt notices the most was a feather stuck on the hat which due to some odd reason, glided off the hat to the street.

Newt immediately grabbed the feather between a crevice and give it a short sniff from the tip to the tip. "That right there was Yusuf Kama," I guess I can come in this moment, practically stopping Newt from tossing the feather into the air. "Yusuf Kama? Of the minor pureblood House of Kama?" Newt asked puzzlingly, but damn he's sharp and knowledgeable.

"Correct, the only and last heir to his house," I said, I mean, I did watch the movie and researched the character for a bit, not much information though. "Why would he meet with Tina?" Newt wondered aloud, looks like I have to explain here. "Let me ask, what's Tina Goldstein looking for in Paris? Should be an obvious answer."

"Credence," Newt answered as fast as a bee, not enough buzz though. "Correct, Yusuf Kama is looking for exactly the same man. Only, his story with Credence Barebone is much more complicated," so complicated in fact that it involves a woman. "Eh... How complicated?" Newt pocketed the feather in safety before further questioning.

"You see, The Lestrange Family Head, Corvus Lestrange 'fell' in love with Laurena Kama, Yusuf Kama's mother. This is what's spicy, Corvus used the imperius on Laurena to leave her husband, Kama's father to go with Corvus instead. Did I mention that Corvus Lestrange stole Laurena in front of the father and son pair, rude right."

"After a while, Corvus and Laurena, still imperiused, had a daughter while Laurena died in child birth. Not even three months after the death, Corvus finally found, seriously this time, a woman that he really loves, captured her heart without any tricks even, a few years later also had a child, male this time. Sadly and unfortunately, the true love died in child birth yet again."

"Getting this so far?" I stopped to let everything sink into Newt's thoughts. "Hmm... It's daring that Corvus Lestrange used the imperius and had a child with a woman under the imperius. It's a fact within the Wizarding World that non-consensual love making is a big taboo. And although there's no written rules upon it, if a wizard or witch is caught with that allegation, then their individual and house prestige will severely drop."

"But I can see why Lestrange would be so courageous, the House of Kama is a minor house only aging about 200 years old. Any accusation made by their house would be easily suppressed by House Lestrange," that's all very fascinating but the non-consensual love making part is unexpected. I found it funny that wizards found rape dishonorable but discrimination honorable, right...

"Shall I continue?" I confirmed that Newt had sucked it all in and finally went on. "So, the son's name is also Corvus but to make it easier I'll just call Corvus the son, son. Corvus the father noticed that the Kama house heir is trying to kill all the Lestrange and so because he loved his son with such affection, he decided to send the son away on a voyage to America."

"The thing is, he doesn't love the daughter he previously had with Laurena at all. But still, he also sent her, his son, and a caretaker far away from home, from the deadly grasp of Yusuf Kama. And now, because of all the claims that Credence Barebone is actually Corvus Lestrange the son, Yusuf Kama is out to hunt him down."

"You should know who the daughter is," I finished right there, without a sweat. "Leta," Newt's answer was right on spot, the daughter not loved is precisely Leta Lestrange but I'm sure she's finally loved *cough* Theseus *cough*. "My mind is spinning from all that," Jacob commented with a very suspiciously unsure nod.

"What I'm trying to say is that through Yusuf Kama, we can possibly find Porpentina Goldstein and Credence Barebone, which is great. Though there is a bigger secret behind Credence Barebone but let's leave that until we find the man himself," I suggested with a smile, oh I love my cliff hangers as Newt looked so annoyed by me not mentioning the secret but instead of complaining, he left it be for the future.

"So, are you going to track the feather or..." I reminded Newt, throwing him back to the field. "Err... Of course, Avensegium," he threw the feather and simultaneously casted a spell on it, making the feather fly in a general direction which means we have to... "Follow that feather," well what can I say, Newt completed the sentence for me.
