New York City No POV
Newt, Tina, Jacob, Queenie and Axel are all on top of a roof where there's a pigeon shed.
Queenie: your grandfather kept pigeons? Mine bred owls. I used to love feeding them.
Tina: Graves always insisted the disturbances were caused by a beast. We need to catch all your creatures so he can't keep using them as a scapegoat.
Newt: there's only one still missing. Dougal, my Demiguise.
Tina: Dougal?
Newt: slight problem is that, um, he's invisible.
Tina: invisible?
Newt: yes. Most of the time. He does, um...
Tina: how do you catch something-
Newt: with immense difficulty.
Tina: oh.<chuckles>
Axel was looking into the horizon as he smiled when seeing the pairs going on behind him. It reminded him of the time he had a crush.
Tina: Gnarlak.
Newt: excuse me?
Tina: Gnarlak. He was an informant of mine when I was an Auror. He used to trade in magical creatures on the side.
Newt: he wouldn't happen to have an interest in paw prints, would he?
Tina: he's interested in anything he can sell.
Axel: bad idea. Informants are not trustworthy.
Tina: he's trustworthy.
Axel: human?
Tina: Goblin.
Axel: no no no. They are not trustworthy. Goblins are selfish and greedy. Especially one that seems to run an illegal operation.
Tina: well...
Newt: we don't have much choice.
Axel:<sigh> fine. But if something goes wrong, I'm gonna be there to tell you, "I told you".
Small Timeskip
Queenie and Tina led the guys into an alley and down some stairs as they stop in front of a wall that looked like it had a poster on it. The girls used their wands to turn their clothing into club like dresses. Newt used his wand to tie his bow tie to look presentable as Axel and Jacob looked fine how they were dressed. Tina did a secret knock on the wall as a man opened a peep hole where the poster's eyes were and saw the group.
They entered the place as the singer was a female elf in and elegant dress. She was using her magic to make sparkling figures. Jacob and Axel were at the bar.
Jacob:<sighs> how's a guy get a drink in this joint?
A alcohol bottle flew into his hand.
Elf: what? Ain't you ever seen a house-elf before?
Jacob: uh, no, of course I have. I love house-elves. My uncle is a house-elf.
Elf:<scoffs> yeah.
Axel: one shot of gigglewater.
Elf:<snaps his fingers and a shot of gigglewater was on Axel's hand>
Queenie:<walks over> six shots of gigglewater and a Lobe-Blaster, please.
The Elf snapped his fingers and the drinks served themselves.
Queenie: are all No-Majs like you?
Jacob: no. I'm the only one like me.
Axel:<puts his glass near his> cheers.
