misterwolf S1 EP1 -- A New Beginning: Seven years after thwarting Gellert Grindelwald's election, Albus Dumbledore, with the help of Newt Scamander and his wife Tina Goldstein as well as the British Ministry of Magic, finally manages to track down Grindelwald. They eventually defeat him after a violent duel destroys much of Grindelwald's tower, and Grindelwald himself is incarcerated. One year later, Tina Goldstein gives birth to daughter, whom she and Newt name Leta, after Newt's late childhood friend Leta Lestrange. Thirty-one years later, Leta is sent to live with Nicolas Flamel in Paris, France, due to the corrupt Ministry of Magic believing that the Scamander family are deceptive. Upon arriving at an already aware Flamel's house, Leta and Flamel instantly bond like a father and child; Flamel also tells her the story about his experiences as a magical adventurer and his discovery and creation of the Philosopher's Stone. Leta becomes fascinated and thrilled by his storytelling, and Flamel shows her the Stone, of which she promises never to let fall into the wrong hands. Meanwhile, Albus visits his brother Aberforth, who had lost his son Aurelius several years back, and they both discover that Grindelwald has somehow escaped. Grindelwald invades Newt and Tina's house, and severely injures them with the cruciatus curse; fortunately, they survives just as the Dumbledore brothers arrive and contact Flamel, who asks a willing Leta to help him subdue Grindelwald. They both leave Paris and return to England.

misterwolf S1 EP2 -- Dark Times: As Leta Goldstein-Scamander and Nicholas Flamel arrive to London, England, Flamel himself explains to Leta about Grindelwald's crime in Paris, and later tells her about Albus Dumbledore's past with the dark wizard. As young wizards, Albus and Grindelwald make plans to go away and take over the world, but Albus' younger brother Aberforth is skeptical. While Albus and Grindelwald had become loversAberforth fell in love with a woman named Leanna; she is currently pregnant with Aberforth's future son Aurelius, though only she, Albus, and Grindelwald know this. Meanwhile, Albus and Aberforth's sister Arianna, who is an obscurial, confides in Aberforth to stop Albus if he leaves with Grindelwald. Aberforth berates Grindelwald for his unreliable acts to help Arianna, and severs all ties with both him and Albus. Albus and Grindelwald form a blood pact, which involves them to swear never to duel each other or move against one another, while Arianna's obscurus parasite begins to poison her even further, and she passes out; when Aberforth discovers her, he becomes even more furious. When Arianna wakes up and is told by Aberforth that Albus and Grindelwald plan to leave by the next day, she begs him to confront Albus and persuade him to stay home. The next day, Aberforth confronts the two wizards; Albus refuses to stay, causing an enraged Aberforth to draw his wand, and Albus draws his. The brothers engage in a violent duel, while Grindelwald suddenly laughs at Aberforth; the duel ends when Albus' spell goes toward their house. When they enter, they find the lifeless body of Arianna, which the obscurus parasite leaves. Devastated and remorseful, Albus rejects Grindelwald and asks Aberforth to see him out, which he willingly does. The brothers reconcile and bury Arianna. They then make a portrait of Arianna as means to both grieve and communicate with her. With Flamel's story over, he and Leta continue their way toward the train station of London.

They are told by Albus that Grindelwald killed them, and a vengeful Leta goes on a rampage through Grindelwald's followers. She is stopped by Flamel, who says it is not what her father would want, and then Tina embraces and comforts Leta. Albus goes after Grindelwald instead, while Leta and the others fight off his followers to give him time to enter the clocktower. Albus confronts Grindelwald, and tells him that killing Newt damaged Leta.

misterwolf S1 EP4 -- It's Not Over: Leta, Flamel, and their group use a time turner to go back in time to save their friends and family from being killed. Clashing with Grindelwald's spells, the future is now changed, and their past selves are wiped from existence. However, Grindelwald's fate is only partially changed as he still goes to the clocktower where Albus had confronted him before the group went back. Leta and Flamel follow Albus to confront Grindelwald, who, after a violent and fierce duel erupts, destroys the clocktower, knocking Albus unconscious and injuring an arriving Yusuf. Leta manages to disarm Grindelwald and lock him in a capsule. When Albus awakens, Leta gives him Grindelwald's wand, and they both realize that it is the Elder Wand, part of the infamous Deathly Hallows. With Grindelwald finally back in Azkaban and things going back to normal, Flamel reveals his intention to train Leta to become a white witch, an immortal magical person who, while still being able to die, can come back to life and will never age, while Albus visits a young boy named Tom Riddle and offers to take him to Hogwarts. From the depths of Hogwarts' Chamber of Secrets, an evil wizard much more powerful than Grindelwald emerges.
