Jacob steps forward tentatively as he walks down the steps towards the underground theater. The sight to behold was both terrifying and amazing. Thousands of wizards and witches are seated in the stone benches. The atmosphere was heavy. Tense with both excitement and anxiety. Jacob felt his lungs tighten as the sight. He did not belong here and his death was almost sure the moment they realize that.
On the other end, Nagini and Credence walks in with the same feeling as Jacob. A huge swarm of people brought them apart and Nagini desperately reached for Credence. Her hand shaking in fear and panic.
"We need to go. They're purebloods! They kill the likes of us for sport!" Credence ignored her words and walked on and while hesitating greatly, Nagini follows after him.
"Queenie?" Jacob called out as his eyes caught sight of the familiar blonde. Sensing his thoughts, she turned around happily as she greeted him.
"Jacob! Honey, you're here!"
Queenie reads his mind and was overfilled with regret, "I'm so sorry. I never should've done it. I love you so much—"
"And you know I love you right?"
Queenie looked confused but nodded in affirmation, "yeah"
"Great. Let's get the hell out of here," he tugs her away but she pulled back seriously.
"Queenie?" despite Jacob's calls, she remains rooted in her place.
"Wait a second. I just thought maybe we could hear him first. You know, just listen..."
"What are you talking about?" Queenie didn't reply but tugged Jacob to the front row seats as he settled to look around nervously.

"It's a trap," Noah told Newt and Tina as they looked around at the entrance.
"Queenie, the box... All of it just to get us here?" Tina mumbled to herself as Newt looked around more wary than the rest.
Tina walked forward, trying to catch anyone who they followed earlier, "we need to get out of here fast."
"Right. You two go find the exit," Newt finally spoke as he moved away.
"Bloody hell... Where the hell are you going?"
"I need to find Sybil. Let's meet outside... I'll think of something."
The two watched his back until they can no longer see him and the nth exasperated sigh left the duo. It was no shock for them to see the younger Scamander go off but it wouldn't hurt for him to make someone tag along once in a while.
As if scripted, the lights dim and the cheers became louder. Noah looked around uneasily as he tried to spot Grindelwald's people that are serving as the guards. When the hysteria became impossibly louder, Noah turned his gaze to see that the man himself has come to the stage.
