"I can't believe you didn't Obliviate that man! If there's an inquiry I'm finished!" Tina said for what felt like the tenth time.

"So why would you be finished? I'm the one that's-" Newt finally said, making her stop. But he was cut off.

"I'm not supposed to go near the Second Salemers!" She replied. I was about to say something when a big blue shape headed towards the sky.

It was the Billywig I found earlier today. I turned to Newt, if I remember him well his love for creatures hasn't ever left him. He shot his head to the bug and then back to me.

"You know what that is don't you?" he whispered so Tina couldn't hear us.

"Of course, Newt. It was out when I arrived." He's face turned a slight shade of pink. It must be his. My case started to move again, it caught Tina's attention on what we were talking about.

"What's that?" she questioned. I could tell she saw Newt looking up at the Billywig before he looked at my case.

"Err – moth, I think. Big moth." He said still eyeing my case. Tina shrugged her shoulders and started to walk again. Newt and I followed, but I keep steady otherwise my case would pop, letting Mimi out to expose all Wizard-kind. "What's in that case Evangeline?" he questioned.

"Creatures, Newt. All you can think of and my cat, Darcy. But I must be careful, or one will get out and expose us all. She's very mean and doesn't care. I need to find her a new home...That's why I'm here." I explained. He didn't look surprised.

"Evangeline, I-"

"Are you coming?" Tina interrupted Newt. I could see hurt and disappointment in his eyes. I looked at Tina and my case finally dies down for we were far from the Billywig and walked to catch up with her.

Newt seemed to try grab my hand as I felt his fingertips graze my skin. Once I was standing next to Tina Newt ran to catch up. He stood next to me, with his case in his right hand. We have the same case. I smiled to myself and we carried on walking to the destination we needed to reach.

We arrived at a hotel, from what it looked like, that had been wreaked.

"Hey...hey – quiet down – I'm trying to get a statement..." a policeman said trying to settle people down. Everyone seemed to be angry at him for not hearing their words.

"...I'm telling you it's a gas explosion again, I ain't taking the kids back up there until it's safe." A woman said grabbing her two children. I turned around to see Newt tap my shoulder and lead me around the group of people.

"Sorry ma'am – there ain't no smell of gas." The policemen said getting irritated by everyone not listening to him. Newt stopped, making me stop as well, he moved slowly as a hobo, by the looks, started to talk.

"It warn't gas – hey officer, I seen it – it wazza - " Newt pulled out his wand, " – a gigantic - " he moved closer, " – a huge hippopotto - " Newt made a simple charm to make everyone believe something, he grabbed my hand and pulled me away as the hobo said, " – gas. It was gas."

We started to pick up speed and we dodged people as we ran up the stairs. We entered the building hearing everyone say, 'Gas, it was gas'.

Newt and I stopped at a room with slight claw marks on the outside. He opened the door and stepped in, once the close was clear he gestured for me to enter. I entered to see a wall missing and concrete falling. Dust was everywhere and I could see were the Muggles were coming from with the gas explosion.

A groan made me come back out of my trance and see Newt help somebody out of all the concrete and dust. I ran over, setting my case down next to me as I bent to get a closer look at the man. He had dark short hair that curled at the front and he was quite big. Newt put his hand to his neck and the man jerked his hand to move Newt's. A thump was heard, and Newt eyed the door. I kept my eyes on the man, but I couldn't see what Newt was touching because his hand was still on it.

"Scamander!" we heard Tina cry. While Newt looked back at the unconscious man I decided to fix the building. Bars squeaked, and bricks reformed while wood flew back to place. Newt sat on the bed and opened the case on the bed. I looked to make sure it wasn't mine and glad it was still by the man. I finished with the building, Newt closed his case and Tina came to the door, breathless and slightly annoyed.
