The skyline of London was incredibly different to that of New York. Where tall buildings once stood, now sat smaller buildings, with chimney tops and rising smoke. The air felt different here too. Whilst the weather in New York was still brisk and chilly, here the cold pecked at Tina's nose and cheek bones. However, due to time difference she was too alert to sleep. She was now standing upon the flat roof top of her hotel, where she and her fellow Macusa aurors were staying, awaiting the inquiry relating to Grindlewalds escape. She was yet to visit the ministry having only been in London a matter of hours, but every time she thought about it, her stomach did summer salts. One certain wizard, whom she had been reading about in the papers, was of particular interest to her. It had been 3 months since she had seen him. In that time, his the sound of his voice faintly echoed, and his face became nothing more than a foggy silhouette in her mind. This scared her. It scared her tremendously. She didn't want to forget. She missed him greatley. He had not only saved her life, but he had given her the fight to pick herself back up again after her demotion. He had been an incredible friend despite her betrayal to him and his creatures at first.

Tina still wasn't sure what to think towards Newt. She liked him yes, and was incredibly shocked at herself for being so upset when he left, despite only knowing him for a few days. But there was something about his presence that excited her. When she arrested him upon there first meeting, she looked upon him as nothing more than a stubborn, mindless criminal. But what shone through was his passion and enthusiasm for his creatures. His determination to beat the obsurus and to save Creadence. Also his bravery when going up against Graves, who was later revealed to be Grindlewald. He had been repeatedly tortured, over and over again, but he didn't give up. Just like he didnt give up on saving her. He could of easily walking out of that death cell, and left her behind. Especially after what she did to him. Turning him in, risking the destruction of the things he treasured the most. But still he fought to save her. He was the only reason she was still here.

Thinking back to their escape from Macusa, little tears began to form in her eyes. She just wanted to see him again, before all the madness at the Ministry began. She just wanted to talk, to catch up and more importantly, congratulate him on his new found success as a best selling author. The book of which he had written, he promised to give her a copy of in person. She had written to him several times, but alas heard nothing back. The anxiety swept through her mind as she pondered this thought. What if in 3 months he had forgotten her or lost interest. After all, a few days is not enough time to make that much of an impression. He was a tough man to figure out. He was complex and had many layers. She desperately tried to fight her feelings, because if the wearn't reciprocated by him, she was fighting a battle she would inevitably lose.

She leaned over the high wall, pulling her high collar over her face, and gazed out at the lights below, hearing the slight sound of cars driving pleasantly on her way. She again, fought back her tears, closing her eyes and desperately tried to remember. Remember his voice, his face...his smile.  But in a sudden the silence was broken. An unfamiliar sound crossed her ears. A thunderous sound of a wing battling against the breeze. It was muffled slightly, then became louder, became closer. Tina, stepped way from the edge, and drew out her wand in caution. No bird of the no-maj world surely could be capable of making such a noise. She did small circles around in one spot, hearing the sound get louder and louder. Then what followed made her fall backwards onto her back. She scrambled on the floor reaching for her wand again, before hearing an almighty squawk. As the noise echoed around the buildings, a creature came into view. A black silhouette of a Eagles head and claws, and a horses behind and hoofs. Another silhouette appeared to be sitting upon the huge creature behind its wings. A silhouette of a man, high collar and messy hair. The creature batted its wings furiously before slowly settling its self down upon the roof. Tina squinted her eyes at what was appearing before her, unsure of what to do or how to act.
