Dearest Tina,

How are you? I'm sorry we couldn't attend Queenie's wedding. Harold and I are officially dating! Isn't it amazing? And we found a perfect replacement for Harold in Castelobruxo. It's this man named Jacques and he's a really great headmaster. He's also good in Charms.

Anyway, Harold, Charles and I are currently working in Rio as part of an exchange program introduced by the Ministry hoping to strengthen ties with the other magical Ministries. I really don't see Charles a lot around lately. He's cooped up at work and something seems to be bothering him.

But who cares? He's always like that, Harold told me.

Another thing is that, we're coming to London NEXT MONTH! I know you're in New York now, but hopefully you come to London to meet us! I also learnt that  the French Ministry guy, related to the Lestranges are also coming! I hope you'd have known him.

Things are quite frenzy to say the least. I'm promoted to the Head of the Auror Department!! I couldn't believe that after all of this, we're finally able to sit back, relax and have fun with life than calculate the time when we're gonna die.

How's  Newt? You two gettin' serious lately? Um, I dunno, did he ask you for marriage or something?

Plus, Harold taught me some Portuguese  and I love it! It's amazing and Harold is genuinely a good guy. Things are definitely turning around now. 

How are you? I've spent a long time talking about myself. And how are the others? Say hello and congrats to Queenie for me. 

Hope you're not getting into trouble

Bridget

Tina didn't have time to respond to Bridget's fascinating letter, even though she had a lot to talk about. She was busy scouring through several Necromancy books and Potions books to find a supplier who would entertain selling unicorn blood. The potion also called for salamander blood, which they can manually extract and many more commercial ingredients which they can find in the magical streets of New York.

"Hey, I found that Mendoza sells unicorn blood" Newt went through several old yellow pages designed specifically for the wizarding community.

"Do you know where he lives?" Tina asked.

"He's always near Illvermorny, that's what these say"  Newt said, "But this book could be outdated".

"Yeah, but it's worth a try" Tina closed her book.

"We'll try, but I have a question" Newt turned a bit red at his spontaneous request.

"What?"

"Y'know we never uh. . went on a proper date?" Newt brought the subject up.

"If fighting in war counts, then yes" Tina agreed, a slight smirk forming on her face.

"D'you think uh, maybe we'll be able to. . ah, uh, go on one?" Newt shrugged, "Maybe dinner?"

"That sounds great! I could use a break" Tina smiled, "When?"

"Today?" Newt could scream with relief.

"Yeah, that'd do. Any specifications regarding what to wear?" Tina asked.

"What do you mean? You can wear whatever you like" Newt shrugged.

"No, it's just that, whenever Achilles and I went out, he'd always set this rulebook on what I should wear. I just ended up borrowing Queenie's wardrobe until we broke up" Tina reminisced. The past sure was a bumpy ride.

"I'm not Achilles" Newt assured her, "Sorry if that sounded rude, but I wouldn't force  you to do something which you're not comfortable with".

"Of course, I knew that" Tina said, "Anyway, Bridget moved up a rank and I'm proud of her".

"Really? Can I see the letter?" Newt heard that Bridget sent Tina a letter from the tropical land of Rio which made him feel a bit jealous that Harold or Charles didn't send him one. He got through the letter within a few minutes and was awed.

"You should write back".

"How can I write back if I have so much stuff to do?" Tina exclaimed.

"I'll write on your behalf" Newt got out a piece of paper and started to write a letter. He talked about Tina's plan and everything that they had done, ignoring the "proposal" part to come with an excuse of, "not thinking about that at the moment" and scribbled his name in the bottom.

As Newt summoned his owl, the door burst open to reveal a frantic Jacob.

"Jacob! What happened?" Tina turned to him.

"It's Theseus!" he panted.

A/N : I know, you're probably armed with rotten eggs because I'M BACK AFTER A LONG TIME!

First off, I was away for a while to my cousin's place and the internet was horrible aboard the public transport system. Secondly, I know there isn't a lot of Newtina, but I promise there shall be!

And thirdly, something happens to Theseus.

Bye.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
