SCARS || Newt Scamander

Eighteen

"Did you obliviate him?!" The witch said to Newt.

"Obliviate who?" Newt asked.

"The no-maj!" She cried.

"No-Maj?" Newt asked confused.

"No magic! One with out magic!" The girl said.

"Oh. We call them muggles." Newt said, realizing what she meant.

"Did you obliviate him?" The woman asked again.

"No." Newt said.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Newt Scamander." Newt replied.

"Tina Goldstein." Tina said.

"Mr Scamander, The United States is different from London. We don't like things loose." Tina said.

"I can tell." He said.

"I'll have to take you to the Magical Congress then." Tina said, and aparated them to MACUSA.

Tina went to her office. The spot where Clara normally was was empty, and Tina opened the case. But instead of the case carrying magical creatures, it contained pastries. Newt frowned, then realized the No-Maj must have took Newt's case and Newt must have taken his case.

"The No Maj must have it!" Tina said. She closed the case and raced out of the building, following Tina.

Clara was at the No-Maj's home, where the poor man was nocked out with a bite on his neck. There was a huge hole in the side of the apartment. Clara learned the man's name was Jacob.

She examined the room, running her hand down a crack in the wall. She wondered what could've happened. She looked up as she heard a bang and saw Tina and a familiar blonde haired man. It took her a second before she realized who it was.

"Newt?" Clara asked.

"Clara!" Newt said, going to her and hugging her. Clara hugged back grinning, she was happy to see Newt again.

"When did you two meet?" Tina asked.

"We met at Hogwarts." Clara said.

"We were best friends. And we still are." He said. Clara nodded grinning.

"What about the No-Maj?" Tina asked. Clara quickly jumped into it.

"The No-Maj's name is Jacob Kowalski, and it appears a magical creature has escaped from Newt's case, fled here, bit Mr. Kowalski, destroyed the wall and went who know's where." Clara explained. Newt watched her speak. She was still beautiful, even more pretty than before. 

As she finished talking, Jacob groaned and woke up. He saw the two witches and wizard standing there, wands out.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Mr. Kowalski, you have been attacked by a magical creature of the Wizarding World, and we're here to see what it was." The blonde girl with the big scar said.

"It was like a dragon. And it could shrink into any size and grow into any size." He told her.

"The Occamy. The little booger." The girl from earlier said, looking at the other man standing next to her. The guy frowned, seeming to be thinking.

The girl with the brown hair took the guys case and switched the two cases. "You grabbed Mr. Scamander's case." She told him. Jacob frowned.

"You all should stay at my place, if you want to be safe." The girl said. All three of them nodded, and the two blondes helped Jacob up.

"Who are you all?" Jacob asked.

"Clara Angell." One said.

"I'm Newt Scamander." The other guy said.

"Tina Goldstein, we'll take care of you for now." The last one said.

As Tina, Clara, Newt and Jacob entered Tina's apartment, Tina's sister walked over to them.

"Tina!" The girl said, walking into the room. She had light strawberry blonde hair, and green eyes.

"Who are they?" She asked.

"Queenie, this is Newt Scamander, Clara Angell and Jacob Kowalski." Tina said.

"Hello everyone!" Queenie said, smiling at them all. Jacob stared at her, he looked as though he thought she was amazingly pretty, which she was.

"Your place is nice." Clara said, looking around.

"Thanks." Tina said, setting Jacob down in a chair.

"Should I start dinner?" Queenie asked, pulling out her wand. Tina nodded and went over to help her sister.

"Pie or strudel?" Queenie asked, looking at Jacob. She then figured out the answer and said, "Strudel it is." Queenie swished her wand around, and then the dinner was ready.

Newt and Clara sat down next to each other, Queenie and Tina next to each other, and Jacob across from Queenie. Queenie asked Jacob questions, and before he could even answer, she knew the answer.

"You can read minds?" Clara asked.

"Yes I can! It's my magical ability!" Queenie said grinning. Clara rolled her eyes and poked at her food.

"Are you alright?" Newt asked.

"Yes, I'm fine." She said, taking a bite. Newt frowned before turning to his food. After Dinner was over, Queenie sent Jacob and Newt to their room.

"Clara, you should stay here." Tina said.

"My apartment isn't far from here." Clara said.

"No, seriously." She said. Clara sighed and agreed to stay. Queenie and Tina left to their room, and Clara went to Newt and Jacob's room. As she walked into the room, she saw Jacob's head go into Newt's case and disappear. Newt wasn't in the room, so she guessed he was already inside the case.

Clara climbed down into the case after Jacob.
