"Newt! C'mon!"

Shouted a giggling Tina as Newt got himself off the ice where he had fallen moments ago,

"Hmf," Newt said brushing the snow off his trousers, "it looks easy when you and Queenie do it," guestering to the younger sister who skated around with grace and elegance, Jacob was not far, he scooted cautiously across the ice afraid to fall.

Tina skated to Newt and looped her arm around his, he took the time to study her rosy cheekbones and snow covered hair. Tina gave him a light peck on the cheek then slowly pulled him with her as she skated, making sure he didn't fall again. Whenever Newt's legs began to wobble Tina would always be there to make sure he didn't fall, they continued until Newt began to get the hang of it and Tina slowly let him go off on his own. Newt was shocked and amazed that he was actually skating,

"Tina!" He shouted excitedly "Look, I'm doing it! I'm ska-"

Newt suddenly tripped over a crack in the ice and landed on his face.

Tina rushed over to him and trying not to laugh at the sight, he sat upon the ice and smiled shyly as Tina joined him. They gazed into each other's eyes with smiles on their face, not wanting this moment to ever end,

"Incoming!"

shouted a voice from behind them, they turned just in time to see the face of Jacob Kowalski as he came tumbling down on them. "So sorry guys," he said pulling himself up as Newt helped Tina and Queenie breezed over giggling. "No worries Jacob," Newt said slightly laughing. Queenie roped her arm around Jacob's shoulder and laughed, "Oh having you guys here in New York is the best!" she said eyes sparkling, "We can come every year if you guys want," Tina said looking at Newt who nodded as well, "Yes it can be our own tradition," he said facing his friends, the happiest he's been in a while.

The four friends laughed and trudged back to the apartment for some hot cocoa, when a bright shining eagle patronus appeared in a flash right in front of Tina. The group was surprised, "It's from the president," Tina said, worry plastered on her face. The eagle opened it's mouth and the bold voice of President Piquery spoke,

"All Auror's, return to MACUSA immediately, this is code red, we have a breakout in cell B, Grindelwald has escaped, we need backup, I repeat all Auror's, breakout in cell B,"

The eagle then disappeared into a shining white light then vanished. Queenie cupped her hands to her face in fear, and Jacob's hold on her arm was tight. Tina pulled out her wand and was about to apparate when Newt suddenly grabbed hold of her arm, not letting her go.

"No!"

He said, she turned around and saw Newt's pale face looking back at her, "Newt please I have to go, they need me," she said, but Newt wouldn't let go. "Don't go Tina please, you might get killed," His eyes grew wet and he was shaking in fear. Tina saw these and wrapped her arms around him in a hug,

"I promise you Newt, I will come back,"

she then kissed him sweetly on the lips, went over to hug her sister, then with one last look at Newt, she apparated away. Newt stood rooted to the spot, he could still feel the warmth of Tina's lips on his, if she got killed would that be their last kiss? The last time he could hold her? Queenie shook him out of his thoughts with a sad expression on her face and leaded him back to the apartment.

Tina found herself in the middle of an intense battle, there was green and red light everywhere, she ducked, just missing a killing curse. The world was a blur, but she had to get herself together. She heard shouting in the next hallway, she rushed over, wand out. Grindelwald was battling five aurors and Madame President at the same time.

Tina quickly realized they were losing and joined the fight. Madame President noticed Tina join and gave an approving nod, Grindelwald laughed, "Do you really think you can defeat me?" He cackled then sent out a forceful stunning spell that spread across the room and hit all the auror's, Tina and her coworkers fell to the floor. Through the wisps of her eyelashes she saw Grindelwald walk over to her and say

"Tell Mr. Scamander, I'm coming,"

Tina's eyes closed and she was sucked into a void of darkness.


Newt was back at the apartment pacing at the door.

"Newt," came Queenie's voice from the doorway, he turned to see a tired Queenie in her nightgown holding an exhausted Jamie. "I know you're worried about Teenie, but could you quiet down your thoughts a little? Some of us are trying to sleep."

Newt smiled sheepishly, "Sorry Queenie," She walked over to him and rested a caring hand on his shoulder, "She will come back Newt," she said softly, Newt nodded downcast. "Would you like some cocoa?" she asked walking over to the kitchen, "yes please," he said walking over and sitting at the table.

Queenie waved her wand, ingredients flew around the room and mixed together to make two cups of steaming hot cocoa, Newt grabbed his out of the air and stared into the chocolate liquid swirling around in the cup. Queenie took a small sip of cocoa, suddenly her head whipped around to the door as if she could hear someone.

"Queenie?" Newt said confused and a bit scared. Just then their was a knock at the door, the two of them hurried to the door and opened it to find an exhausted Tina with cuts and bruises, "Teenie," Queenie gasped, she wrapped her arm around her sister and helped her to the couch to tend to her injuries. "Newt..." Tina whispered, her eyes closed as if she was having a nightmare. He quickly rushed to her side, he grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him, "It's okay Tina, you're safe," his earthy scent helped Tina calm down, but she was still shaking.

Queenie came back with her healer supplies and began to patch up Tina's wounds. "Tina, what happened at MACUSA, did he..." Newt said softly, Tina nodded sadly, "it was all so sudden, we were all in a duel with him, me, madame president, and some other aurors, but then he did this magic without his wand, and we were all stunned, everyone in the hallway, even me," Tina said starting to tear up. "And then..." she stopped. "What is it Teen?" Queenie asked looking at her sister's face. Tina looked up at Newt,

"He said, he's coming for you Newt,"
