Newthad just placed his briefcase down on the floor and opened it. I walked on theleft side and Newt went on the right. We looked at the creature as we gotready. Newt walked forward slightly, rolling his sleeves up as he moved. Heturned to me. 'Stay by the case until I say' he mouthed. I nodded, responding.He turned back to the Erumpent and began the a 'mating dance'.

           

The beast's breath grew as she most likely smelt me and Newt. Speaking of Newt, he had bent over a hand on his back, the other, somewhere I couldn't see. He made the creatures sound and shot up, getting as loud as he could. I could imagine Jacob being, 'what on earth is he doing'. As the Erumpent heard Newt, she splashed water from the hole in her head, she made some sounds. Newt started to snort getting her attention. I felt Jacob turn and look at me and Newt, I ignored it. Newt continued the 'dance' and placed his right foot in front of him. I could see the Erumpent was intrigued by Newt as she turned around to see what was going on. He moved his foot in a squiggly line, placing it behind him and tilted his head, most likely giving the Erumpent one of his little grins. She took a step forward and smelt the air, Newt turned to me, I nodded. I bent down and made the same sound he did, making sure she knew two were fighting for her. Newt continued and slammed his right foot in front of him, showing his rear end. I gave a small giggle, quietly so he and the Erumpent couldn't hear me. Newt panted and swung the bottom of his coat away, so you could see his pants. The Erumpent huffed and moved her body slightly, she shook as she did so. Newt snorted again and jumped to his right, He looked at me with a twinkle in his eye. I smiled at him and he turned back to the creature before us. When he moved so did she, circling each other, Newt continued to snort as he turned so he wasn't giving the Erumpent his rear side. He shook his head another time and she climbed onto the stairs. He was know moving around, she followed, snorting until he got on top of the stairs. He looked to me, I snorted and moved a little away from the case, as he got ready to get her in. He lifted his left leg and fell, rolling on his back, snorting as he did so. He got up and looked to me, 'Now' he mouthed. I snorted again, and the beast fell onto her legs, rolling.

"Good girl – come on – into the case..." Newt whispered, she wiggled her legs as she made her sound. I then suddenly smelt something and turned to face Jacob, panic on my face. I saw a little amount of the musk fly out of the vial... Oh, lord help. The Erumpent must have smelted it as she started to breath heavily, I turned back to Newt. She had gotten up and was walking to wear Jacob was hiding. Newt and I shared a worried glance. She rumbled, and the wind changed, Newt looked to me again. The Erumpent got ready to charge.

"RUN JACOB!" I yelled, she charged. Jacob started to run as fast as he could, sadly that wasn't fast, out of the park. The beast tumbled over ice as she tried to reach Jacob.

"Repar-" I herd Newt say before he stopped. I turned to see him, an animal holding is wand. "Merlin's beard!" he yelled, racing after the animal. I ran to grab my case and chase after Jacob.

When Iarrived, Jacob was on a tree and the beast was about to charge her horn intothe tree to grab Jacob.

"Newt! Evangeline!" He yelled. Before anything happened, I opened my case.

"HUSK!" I yelled. I was winded and knocked to the ground by my own Erumpent entering out of my case onto the ice.

           

He was slightly bigger then Newt's Erumpent, but he stood his ground. I could tell he wanted the female to himself.                                                                                                                           "Husk." I sighed, gaining my breath and getting up, closing my case. He turned his head to face me, from the corner of my vision I could see Newt with his case.                                                                                                                                    "Lead the female, over there." I pointed to Newt. He got the idea and placed his case on the ground of ice. Husk moved, and the female followed. Husk stopped behind Newt, but the female stopped, eyeing him.                                         "Petrificus Totalus," I called and the Erumpent stopped. She fell to the ground stunned. Newt placed the case on her head, she sunk into the case, returning to her to her pen.

"Thanks, Evangeline." He said shyly as he closed his case.

"That's alright." I smiled, he smiled to. He then ran to go help Jacob. "Come on Husk, time to go back. Oh – don't give me that look." I could not deal with Husk's sad eyes. I opened the case, "I promise you, for helping, you will see her later." He made his sound, deeper then Newt's female and jumped into my case. Newt and Jacob were back by my side, Newt set his case on the ground.

"Well, two down, one to go. In you hop." He told me and Jacob. We both jumped in, Newt following.
