We headed over to Jacob's apartment, Tina was following us.

When we got there, we realised the door was open and there was a huge hole in the wall.

I grabbed my wand and started to fix the place.

Suddenly, Tina walked in.
"Why is he on the floor?" she asked about Jacob.

"What happened, Jacob?" Newt asked.
"Well, I opened the case and then these animals come flying," he explained.

"Magical creatures are loose in New York?" Tina asked angrily.

I was also worried but right now, we had to focus on Jacob.

"You've got a bruise next to your neck," Newt said and inspected it, "It's from a Murtlap, I have the right ingredients for the potion, so you can come with us."

"Nobody's going anywhere, you're all coming with me," Tina said and took us to her apartment.

As we walked up the stairs, we heard a shout. We paused.

"Is that you, Tina?" a woman asked.
"Yes, Mrs.Waterson," Tina replied.
"Are you alone?" she asked.
"I'm always alone Mrs.Waterson," Tina said.

We walked inside and noticed flying objects. There was somebody else here.

"Teenie, you've brought men home," a woman said.
"There's also me," I replied.
"This is my sister," Tina said, "Want to put something on, Queenie?"

"Sure," she replied and magically put some clothes on.

I noticed Jacob staring at her. I suppressed a chuckle.

"So who are they?" Queenie asked.
"That's Mr.Scamander and Miss Booth, they've committed a serious infraction of the national statue of secrecy," Tina said.

"They're criminals?" she asked.
"Uh huh," Tina answered.
I rolled my eyes, "Yes, we're totally criminals."

"And that's Mr.Kowalski, he's a No-Maj," Tina said.

"I can't believe we're criminals," I whispered.
"It's fine, we'll get out of it, somehow," Newt said.
"Maybe Dumbledore can get us out of this one," I joked.

"The two criminals over there have lost something that I'm going to help them find," Tina said loudly.
"Will you stop? It was a mistake, he literally smacked Newt in the face," I said.

"Aw, honey, you need to sit down, he hasn't eaten anything in days," Queenie said, "And oh, that's rough, he didn't get the money he wanted for his new bakery, you bake honey?"

Jacob looked surprised.
"I love to cook," she said.

"You're a Legillemens," I said.
"Yeah, but I always have trouble with your kind, Brits, it's the accent," she said.

I nodded in agreement. Americans always struggled with us.

"You know how to read minds?" Jacob asked.
"Don't worry honey, most guys think what you think when they first see me," Queenie said.

He must have been attracted to her.
"Now, you need food," she said.

I heard a faint noise. I looked outside the window. A Billywig was flying around.

"We should go find the creatures," Newt whispered.
I nodded my head and we tried to open the door.

"Hey, you two, you prefer pie or strudel?" she asked.

I shrugged my shoulders noticing that Tina was glaring at us.
"I don't really have a preference," Newt said.

"You prefer strudel, honey, don't ya?" she asked Jacob.
He nodded in delight.
"Strudel it is," she smiled.

I watched as she made a beautiful strudel and landed it on Jacob's plate.
"Sit down, I'm not gonna poison you," Tina told us.

We sat down and listened into their conversation. The conversation suddenly stopped. Tina had thought that Queenie was flirting.

"Are you okay, honey?" Queenie asked noticing Jacob's expression.
"He has a sting, I think he needs an early night," Newt replied, "And we need to get up early to find my nifflers."

"What's a niffler?" Queenie asked.
"Don't ask," Tina said.

"You guys can bunk in here, Miss Booth you can sleep with us," she said.

I could hear a faint noise. I woke up and saw somebody standing at the door. I quietly got out of bed.

"What?" I asked.
"We need to find those creatures," Newt said.
I nodded my head and grabbed my clothes from my case.
