You need a Giver

Chapter 1

Dear Tina,

I'm sure you've seen in the paper that my book "Fantastic beasts and where to find them" (thank you for the name by the way) has been published. I am so happy that I now have a chance to teach the wizarding world about how magnificent these creatures really are. I will be coming to New York to give you a copy of my book, I can't wait to see you and Queenie again. Pickett says hi.

Yours, Newt

Tina's hands were shaking with glee as she read the letter, "Newt was coming back!" She thought excitedly. Queenie dropped her cup of coffee, "Oh Teenie!" She squealed as the coffee began spreading all over the floor, "He's coming back! And to give you a copy of his book too!" "Yeah..." Tina said, "He's coming back"

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"Any livestock?"

"No,"

Newt was at the New York bag check getting his suitcase examined. He had just got off the boat from London and couldn't wait to see his friends again. "Alright then Mr Scamander, Welcome to New York." said the man handing Newt back his suitcase. "Thank you," Newt said taking the suitcase and walking out of the port to the Goldstein residence.

As Newt was walking he was nervous but excited to see Tina again, they had written to each other during the past months and had become very close to each other.

Newt had written to her about his book and how it was coming along, as well as how his creatures were doing,

"I had to release the new grown occamy's today, I took Dougal on a trip to Diagon Alley yesterday but when we returned I found him sleeping under a pile of Honeydukes chocolate so I don't think I will be taking him again, chocolate makes him drowsy, Pickett made a new friend today, his name is Sam, I will have to introduce you to them when I return to New York."

And she had written back to him telling him about her job and how Queenie was doing and asking how his creatures were. "

I caught my first dark wizard of the week back on the job, he was part of a smugglers ring for stolen dark magical objects, the rest of the aurors and I are hunting down the rest of his gang as we speak, it's great being an auror again I can't thank you enough Newt, Queenie says hi, she is doing fine although she still misses Jacob dearly, I guess we all do, How are your animals doing? I hope Dougal is not allergic to that chocolate, what's Honeydukes? Is that some sort of British candy store? Tell Pickett I say hi too."

He smiled remembering the excitement of opening a letter from Tina always happy to hear from her.

At last Newt had reached the Goldstein apartment and climbed up the stairs,

"Tina? Is that you?" Newt froze, it was Ms Esposito their landlady.

"Um yes..!" Newt said in a very Tina-like voice.

"Are you alone?" she said

"Um, yes.. yes I am Ms Esposito..." Newt said almost exactly copying Tina's voice. Ms Esposito closed her door and Newt breathed out a sigh of relief then continued to climb the stairs.

At last Newt had reached their door and knocked on the door expecting to see Tina but it was Queenie who opened the door.

"Newt!" She squealed "You're here!"

"Ah yes," Newt said awkwardly "I suppose I am."

Queenie gave him a big hug and let him come inside. Newt looked around the apartment which looked exactly the same as when he first came. Queenie looked at him with a small smile on her face, "yeah not much has changed around since you left," she said wistfully.

A small silence before Queenie spoke up "Tea Mr Scamander?"

"Yes please" he said walking over to the table as Queenie magically made them both a steaming cup of tea.

Newt took his cup and looked around wondering if Tina would come walking to greet him.

"Oh sorry honey, but Tina said she's going to be working late tonight." Queenie said reading his thoughts.

Newt blushed a deep red and stared into his cup of tea. "Aw don't worry honey, she's really excited that you're coming!" Queenie said. Newt was still blushing.

Another silence

"How have you been?" Queenie asked

"oh fine, just fine, how about you?" Newt said

"it's been okay, i visited Jacob in his new bakery. I think he remembers me!" Queenie said with a radiant smile on her face.

Newt smiled "That's great, I'm glad he's doing well." he said happy that his friend had his dream.

They both continued to talk until very late. "oh look at the time, we should be getting some sleep." Queenie said getting up "Do you want to sleep in Tina's bedroom?" she asked pointing toward Tina's door which was slightly open to reveal a large bookshelf and a wooden bed with green striped blankets. Newt thought that this was very Tina.

"Oh no thank you, i wouldn't want to impose, i will just sleep on the couch." Newt said wondering what Tina would think if when she came home to see him sleeping in her bed.

Queenie looked at him with a small smile on her face, Newt blushed. "Well good night Mr Scamander," Queenie said from her room, "Goodnight," he replied as Queenie shut the door. He was happy to see Queenie, and overjoyed at the fact that his good friend Jacob was achieving his dream, but he couldn't help feeling disappointed that Tina was not here. Nevertheless he would see her tomorrow morning, he told himself as he settled into a restful slumber.
