Invisible String [t. s]

Chase & Catch

"Oh, no, I don't sing. Not Hogwarts' anthem, at least. I don't recall the lyrics." Said Newt. "Amélie, you sing." She laughed.

"Oh, Beauxbatons doesn't have an anthem, we just had a dance. Please don't ask me to dance, it's been years since I've done that." They all laughed and Jacob continued to humm the Ilvermorny song before he sighed.

"Oh, I wanna be a wizard." He said and Newt patted his shoulder. That's when thunder rumbled over their heads. The majestic Thunderbird was flying and his feathers looked blue rather than golden.

"Danger." Said Newt. "He senses danger." That reminded Amélie what she wanted to talk about in the first place.

"About that." She called the attention. "I think I have a lead." They all listened closely. "I think Percival Graves is not who he says he is. I think he's someone else."

"Who?" Asked Tina.

"The most wanted man in our world. Grindelwald."

"Impossible." Rosier shook her head at Tina's words.

"Not long after I left you on that rooftop, many Aurors found me and chased me, wanting to arrest me. And Graves was guiding them. He said he could take me in or I could join him. Why would Percival tell me that if we're working at similar a Bureaux? Whom else would ask someone to join him?" They remained silent. "And I know you're suspicious about him since the interrogatory." Newt nodded.

"It did sound odd his questioning about the Obscurus and the host. He asked if he was useless and it sounded as if...he wanted to use it. For what, I don't know." He said. "And I don't want to know."

"En effet. The other questions are, if he's pretending to be Graves, one: where is the actual Percival? And two: how many others could be infiltrated allies of Grindelwald? They could be anyone at the Ministries." Tina sighed.

"This is bad. Very bad." They all nodded. That's when they heard roars and things crashing loudly outside of the case.

"What the heck was that?" Asked Jacob and they all put on their coats before rushing outside. When they did, they found what looked like a dark cloud of sand destroying buildings and streets. "Is that it? That's the Obscurial thing?"

"That's more powerful than any Obscurial I've ever heard of." Said Newt as he stood on the edge of the roof. He took out his wand and looked at them all, specially Tina. "If I don't come back, look after my creatures." He handed the case over to her. "Everything that you need to know is in there." He gave her a notebook. He then looked at Amélie, spotting the tiny green fella in the pocket of her black coat. "Take care of him."

"What?" The girls asked at the unison.

"They're not killing it." He said with determination and jumped off the building to desappear midair.

"Newt!" Tina yelled before turning around to face the rest, she gave Amélie the case. "You heard him, look after them." She looked back at the front and disappeared from sight with the use of magic. Rosier turned to Queenie and gave her Newt's belongings.

"I have to help him and I need to catch Grindelwld."

"You're not even sure."

"True, but my hunch is rarely wrong." She stepped close to the edge of the building and disappeared just to appear behind a car, close to where the Obscurial was. She spotted Scamander couple meters in front of her, so, she moved to his position quietly as the muggles screamed and ran away.

  "To survive so long..." Graves yelled at the Obscurial as Scamander and Rosier exchanged looks. "With this inside of you, Credence..."

"Credence? Who's Credence?" She asked Newt, whispering.
