Work has never been so interesting but today was definitely a surprise for you, in the middle of a patrol in the region you find an unconscious person floating in the lake next to a suitcase. It was a definitely horrible scene.
You knew that lately the number of dark wizards, poachers and similar things had increased but this was too much.
Too extreme.
It was definitely a risk to both the wizarding and muggle worlds, but many other wizards didn't seem to care about it. But thank Merlin that person you found wasn't dead...yet.
Then, you carry this stranger to your house, After some treatment and rest, this individual would certainly be helpful in answering some questions. In that house not far from the fields where Newt was found floating on the water soon he founds himself awake, bandaged and in a soft bed in what looked like a mountain cabin, it was comfortable he had to admit.
But obviously Newt's focus was not that, immediately, even with twinges of pain, he got up to check where his briefcase was. His magical beasts inside that briefcase that appeared to be common meant A LOT to him.
