I couldn't believe what my eyes where showing me. Newt, my best friend. He hadn't changed one bit. He still had his hair on the side in it natural brown and wave, with his beautiful blue eyes and cute freckles, that I fell in love with. Before I could say anything, and before he could fully see my eyes, a man came in.

"GOLDSTIEN! Where is she? Where is she? GOLDSTIEN!" he yelled. As he came over Hillary grabbed a piece of paper off the desk. She handed it to me as he started to yell again. "Goldstein!" he yelled once more. "Did you just butt in on the Investigative Team again?" he seemed annoyed and angry. Hillary pulled me away from the fight and down to a seat, I felt Newt try to keep his gaze on me. "Where have you been?" the man asked, still talking.

"Hear this is the paperwork," she said and gave me a slight smile. "It wont take long, then you can leave." She left after that.

I took the quill that was on the table and stated to fill the sheet in. For I was too busy on the paper I didn't hear footsteps, two to be exact, coming towards me. "This is who I found Mr Graves." I heard Hillary.

"Hello Miss..." I then heard a deep voice who I could tell was Mr Graves. I replied.

"Opera, Evangeline Opera." I looked around to make sure Newt wasn't in earshot, so he could tell it was me.

"Stae tells me you are here for a moving case? Is this true?" He made eye contact with me and a shiver went down my spine. I nodded, replying to his question.

"I'm finishing the paper that Miss Stae gave me." I said.

"Good. I just need to see what was in the bag...then you can leave." He said. Another shiver went down my spine. Odd. I thought, I've never had 2 shivers in a row.

He watched me finish my work and Hillary left. Once I was finished, he took the paper and my case. What he didn't know was I switched it, permanently, to 'Muggleworthy' until I left this building. He opened it, surprised to see what the Official saw. This time I placed a Sneakoscope into it, so he knew why my bag was moving. What I didn't see has why it was spinning and making noises around this Mr Graves.

"Sorry, sir," I took it back and he tried to place his hands on it again, but I was too quick. He pointed to the door once he was out of his trance and I left.

Once I got outside, another hand took my shoulder. I gasped as I was pulled around the side of the building. As I looked at who it was, I wish I never came out.

"Evangeline...is that you." Newt asked. He seemed happy to see me.

12 years it had been since what happened occurred. I tried to look away, but his other hand pulled my chin to make me face him. I could feel my eyes go dull and start to tear. Newt and I had been so close, then I left to help my father with something I couldn't tell him.                                                                                          
"Hey..." I could just get the words out. He pulled me into a hug. I was shocked but hugged him back, he still smelt like grass and old parchment. We pulled away as we heard a cough. Tina was standing in front of us. Newt let me go and stepped back.

"Hello, I'm Tina." She greeted and held out a hand to me.

"Evangeline. Your clothes remind me of a baby Augurey, but, your personality reminds me of a Griffin, strong and powerful." I took her hand and shook it. Newt laughed at me comparing Tina to fantastic creatures of wizard kind. Tina just stood, dumbstruck.

He then seemed to busy looking at me to notice Tina shove him. "We have to go find that No-Maj, Mr Scamander." She said, Newt turned to her, then back to me.

"Do you want to come with us, then we can catch up?" he asked shyly.

"Sure, Newt. But may I ask." He stared at me to ask my question. "What's a No-Maj?" he just laughed.

"A Muggle." He tried to stop himself. "They call them that instead." I just nodded still confused. We all got out into the street and headed wherever Tina and Newt needed to go, but while we were walking I could feel eyes, burning the back of my head.
