So is it fanon or canon that Newt's and Theseus' father is muggleborn? Anyway the Scamanders are literally royality as in closely related to the british Crown. The resulting fallout of Newt Scamander being sentenced to death and almost being killed twice in America are a political nightmare.

Even worse...Theseus Scamander is the current british spokesperson between the Crown and MoM and even worse older brother of Newt. He was sent to make their displeasure known and can make the strongest men weep.

Newt pities his new friends. Almost. Maybe a little. If he wasn't mortified because of all the attention he's garnering.
