chapter 2

You apperated in, and you saw two men you did not know, your eyes widening.

"Tina, Mum, who are these guys?" You asked carefully.

"Y/N! You're back! Where were you?" Queenie said cheerfully in her lovely, dainty voice.

"I asked you the question first, Mum." You responded.

Queenie made a sad face. "This is Newt Scamander and Jacob Kowalski. He's a no-maj." She whispered the last part.

"Oh." You said, taking a step back. You didn't like no-maj's, especially after some no-maj had tried to do something to you in an alley. (Queenie interfered, luckily. That's how you two met.)

"Y/N, it's alright. Jacob won't hurt you." Tina said.

"Wait, so she's your child?" Jacob asked, confused.

"No, she adopted me." You said timidly. "So tell why are they here?"

"Because Newt broke some laws and Jacob here is injured!" Queenie replied.

"Okay." You said uncertainly, glancing at Tina and Queenie. "Anything else you would like to tell me?" You inquired, directing your question at everyone in the room.

Newt shook his head.

"Then, you need food!" Queenie said in a playful voice to Jacob, going back to the kitchen.

You looked at Scamander, who was staring out the window.

You heard Queenie and Tina saying things about food while Jacob was staring at amazement at all the magic.

"Hey Mr. Scamander. Do you prefer pie or strudel?" Queenie asked.

Newt... He looked jumpy. "I really don't have a preference."

Queenie started flirting was Jacob about food, while you put a hand on Newt's shoulder.

"What laws did you break?" You asked quietly, not letting the sisters you called parents hear you.

"I'm not quite sure myself, but it seems that having magical beasts is outlawed." Newt mumbled, fidgeting.

"Oh!" You smiled slightly, glancing at the case. You eyed the little green thing hiding under the fold of Newt's coat. "Okay."

"Well, sit down, you two."

Newt hesitantly sat down.

The meal consisted of you, Tina, and Newt sitting in awkward silence while Queenie and Jacob flirting.

When Newt said he and Jacob needed to get an early sleep, you instantly became suspicious. Newt's actions were very peculiar.

After watching Tina go into the room where Jacob and Newt were residing in, you apperated into their room, making sure Tina and Queenie didn't see you.

You saw Newt halfway into his suitcase.

You giggled in amusement. "A charm, I'm guessing?"

He let out a sigh, a sad look crawling onto his face.

"Don't worry, I won't say. But can I come with?" You asked.

He nodded, instantly brightening. He went in all the way, then signaled for you and Jacob to go down.

You stepped in, feeling some ladder steps on the way in.

Jacob followed after, getting stuck. But soon fell in.
