"It was good to make your acquaintance, Jacob, and I hope you get your bakery," Newt said loudly over his shoulder as we were guided away.

"Bye Jacob!" I I made a good attempt to wave but I didn't want my handcuffs to look too loose in case the guards tighten them.Newt also tried to wave. 

I had two men on either side of me and Newt and Tina had a woman in white each with them. "it's OK to be scared," Newt said when he say how much I had been shaking. We weren't together  long. I was soon dragged away in another direction.

"Bye Newt!" I screamed as I was pulled away afraid that I would never see him again.

I was forced into a bright room with white walls. It was fairly small but very tall and the door was bolted shut behind me. Are they going to starve me? I slipped the muzzle and chains off and put them on the floor. I then inspected the room, checking every wall carefully for an escape route. There was a black dot in the left furthest corner from the door. I dipped my finger in and it burned me. I ran and dipped my muzzle in; it burned with no fire, everything but the steel bolts. They were going to kill me with  Death potion. Drown me in it like a one would drown spiders for fun. But I could find no way that they would get it in here. Strange.

About an hour past. I wonder where Newt is right now, Probably trying to catch Dougal, I thought lying on my back in the middle of the room like a beached starfish. 

Then I though I heard voices. Murmuring from the top left hand wall. I couldn't make out words so I stood up. Here it comes any moment now the black water come and burn your flesh, my mind seemed to laugh as if it were the one to kill me. I shifted hoping that maybe dragon scales might not be destroyed. Suddenly the top of the right wall opened  about a foot to let the black liquid come in. It seemed to fall in slow motion before crashing on the ground and burning a few scales on my side. Dragon scales are pathetic to this. With that I jumped as high as I could and tried to take flight. It took me a fair amount of goes but I did get there just as the last inch of floor disappeared. I flapped frantically trying to go up like a fat pigeon. It worked but fairly slowly. As I got closer to the top of the room I could here the voices clearer. Focus on that. What do they sound like? I quizzed myself to distract myself from my tiring wings. 

One of them is crying another is trying to comfort her. Good job. Right, The first one has stopped crying and the second one is asking her something.  There is a third, voice but she only said one line. The room is silent...What else can you hear? I could hear nothing but the sound of the potion filling up the room. I was right next to where it was coming in now. Suddenly there was a loud crash and the sound of someone screaming. It was Tina. I had heard her scream like that when the murtlap jumped at her. I could hear a man too. It was Newt; I was sure of it. He was telling her to do something that she didn't want to do but I couldn't hear what. I started calling him desperately. The potion was now not far from my tail. The room went silent so I called louder. Calling by instinct again. He doesn't have his wand Megan. He can't help you. The potion caught my tail so I had to fly in circles. I knew I had to take a chance if I wanted my life. I flew though  the Death potion. In and up.

I was in another room of white. I shook of as much of the liquid as I could before landing at Newt's feet panting. He was holding Tina's hand and  the swooping evil was going crazy around the room. 

" Megan! Hold on for just a second OK. We need to find my case and wand and then I can treat you. Don't shift!" He was trying to talk and think at the same time. I nodded and we ran. 

My whole body stung from the potion but Newt couldn't help me. If he touched me he'd burn too. So I had to run on paws that looked as if they could turn to raw meat any second. We hadn't gone far before we almost crashed into Queenie and Jacob. Queenie had Newt's case and both his and Tina's wands. 

Everyone but Queenie got in the case, if all went well she could just walk out. Meanwhile Newt blasted water from his wand onto what was left of my scales. He then wrapped bandages and some strange creamy stuff over my sides  and paws. Only after then could I shift into human form and cry on his shoulder. We both nearly died that day.
