the fire after the flood {newt scamander}

17.

The three of them move through the moving shelves, struggling to find their way out. They were almost crushed as one set of shelves flew towards them. Newt suddenly pulls Kai on, as they all cling onto the set of shelves. They suddenly stop moving to hear to soft voice speak.

"Records moved to Lestrange family tomb at Père Lachaise." Leta says to herself. After a moment or two of silence, Leta speaks again.

"Circumrota." Leta says as the shelves rotating around, revealing the three of them clinging to the shelves.

"Hello, Newt. Kai." Leta says as Newt slowly turns his head to face her.

"Hello, Leta." Newt says as both Kai and Tina turns their heads.

"Hi." Tina says awkwardly. Kai gives Leta a small smile before a low growl is heard from behind Leta.

"Oh no." Newt says as two cat like creature appear with the old woman from the desk beside them.

"What kind of cats are those?" Tina asks staring at them.

"Those aren't cats, they're Matagots. They're spirit familiars. They guard the Ministry, but they won't hurt you unless..." Newt explains before he is cut off by Leta.

"Stupefy!" She fires the spell at one of the Matagots, causing them to multiply and become more aggressive.

"Unless you attack them." Newt says as Leta's face drops.

"Oops." Leta says as she turns to climb over the railing.

"Leta." Kai says grabbing the woman's arm and pulling her onto the shelves.

"Reverte!" Leta shouts as the set of shelves rotate again. The stack of shelves soar through the records as the Matagots chase after them. One pounces at them as Kai throws a shield around them. Leta looks to Kai who's eyes have turned to a fiery orange.

The four of them continue to run through the moving stacks of shelves as multiple Matagots chase them. Suddenly the shelves surround the four as Newt places the case down.

"In." He says pointing to the case. Tina is the first to go, then Leta, followed by Kai and Newt. Newt immediately runs off to the Zouwu's enclosure with Kai close behind.

"Stay with Tina and Leta." Newt says to her. Before she could argue with him, he had climbed onto the back of the Zouwu before exiting the case.

Leta looked around the case in awe as Kai feels a small tug at her trouser leg. The Niffler looked up at Kai as she smiled at him. She sat down with him as he climbed into her coat, seeking warmth. Suddenly Kai hear the case open as she quickly stood up, leaving the Niffler in her coat pocket as she climbed out of the case. Leta gives her a helping hand as she climbed out, giving her old friend a smile.

"Wait. Hold it there, please. Come on. All right, okay." Newt speaks to the Zouwu who was cuddling into Newt. Kai smiles as she pulls out the cat toy, gaining the Zouwu's attention. She drops the toy in as the giant cat chases after it, with the case closing behind it. Unnoticed by any of them, Leta runs off towards the tombs.

The three of them quickly run in the direction where Leta ran off to, entering a large tomb.

"Is that really you?" Kama asks staring at Leta as the three walk in behind her. "My little sister?" Kama says transfixed on Leta as Newt and Kai exchange puzzled looks.

"So he's your brother? Who am I?" Credence appears from behind Kama with a woman standing protectively in front of him.

"I don't know." Leta says.

"I'm tired of living with no name and no history. Just tell me my story, then you can end it." Credence says desperate to find out his past.

"Your story is our story. Our story." Kama says looking from Credence to Leta.
