TOGETHER AGAIN [NEWTINA & JAKWEENIE]

024

Everyone gathered where Melissa was standing. They saw Omisha's dead body.

"I didn't get a chance to hug her," Hazel sniffed "my poor girl."

"I think we should close her eyes," Tina whispered and knelt down.

"We need to take her body back to Australia," Theseus said "I'll arrange things, we'll leave after the hearing."

Melissa was standing there looking outside. "She shouldn't try to save me...."  She thought.

Two days later ~

"Dumbledore," Newt nodded to the figure.

"Newt!" Dumbledore smiled and waved.

Newt took Tina, Queenie and Jacob to the  Ministry of Magic  for the  International Magical Conference  where he met Dumbledore outside of the conference hall.

"This is Tina Goldstein from MACUSA and her sister Queenie Goldstein and this is our friend Jacob Kowalski,"   Newt introduced   "this is Professor Dumbledore from Hogwarts."

Dumbledore smiled and said to Queenie  "if you don't mind, I want to talk to you Ms. Goldstein before this hearing."

Queenie looked at Tina to Newt. Both nodded as she turned and said "okay, Mr. Dumbledore."

Dumbledore took Queenie a few steps forward where he could talk to her, without having Newt, Tina or Jacob around. They waited until Dumbledore finished talking to Queenie.

"It's time," Tina said as soon as Queenie and Dumbledore joined them, "I think we should go."

Queenie bites her lip. Tina looked at Her and said "don't worry, everything's gonna be alright, okay. Come on."

They headed towards the room where they met Theseus outside. "You're not allowed inside, I'm afraid Mr. Kowalski."

Jacob stopped and tried to protest "b-but... I–"

"You wait here, with Newt," Theseus said stopping Him.

Jacob looked at Queenie and give her an encouraging-sad combination smile.

They left for the conference leaving Newt and Jacob outside.

The room is big and is full of witches and wizards from all over the world. A chair placed in the middle of the room where they ordered Queenie to sit down.

Queenie sat down hesitatingly and looked around. She saw MACUSA president Seraphina Picquery.

Tina walked and stood in a distance and looked at President Picquery. She's glaring at Her. As soon as their eyes met, Tina looked away. Picquery exhaled and shook her head a little.

"We gathered here for a hearing of Ms. Queenie Goldstein from the United States of America. This conference called by The President of Magical Congress of United States of America (MACUSA)"  The Undersecretariat stepped forward and announced.

Queenie looked down and gulped. Tina's heartbeat was drumming like a Thunderbird captured inside.   "Don't be afraid Queenie, I'm here with you?"  Tina thought as She knows Queenie will definitely read Her.

"Did you, Ms. Goldstein brought anyone for your defense, please call that person or we'll proceed without."

"I um... I–" Queenie stammered

"Yes, She has." A voice said from a corner. Everyone looked at the voice as it continues  "Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore  will fight for her defense."
