Tina sat on a bench with her face in her hands.
The ship rocked slowly, creaking eerily.
The moon peeked from the clouds.
Another tear fell. And another.
Tina let out a sob. She refused to let herself cry, but she just couldn't help it.
Tears flowed down her cheeks. Why, why did you do it?
Queenie watched her from a window.
"I-I don't...what?" Jacob paced around their cabin. "Newt cheated on-on Tina..."
"He was kissing Violet." Queenie murmured back.
"He-he wouldn't. He loves Tina. I know he does. Why would he do that?!"
Queenie tore herself away from the window. "I think it was the Imperius Curse."
"The what?"
"The Imperius Curse," the blonde repeated. "It's one of the three Unforgivable Curses. They're so dangerous, it's illegal to cast them."
"So, what does the Imp-cheerios do?" Jacob asked.
"The Imperius Curse places the victim completely under the caster's control, although, a person with exceptional strength can resist it. If you were under the Imperius Curse & the caster told you to kill the thing you loved most, unless you were strong, you would actually do it." Queenie turned back to the window.
Tina was freely crying now.
Footsteps approached her.
"Are-are you okay?" A man asked.
Tina looked up.
"I want to say yes..." She sobbed.
"Shhhh, it's okay. My name's Isaac Hawthorn. What's yours?"
"T-Tina Goldstein."
"Now, I don't want to intrude, but why are you crying?"
"My-my boyfriend cheated on me..." Tina mumbled.
"Why would he do that? He obviously doesn't deserve you!!" Isaac exclaimed, sitting down next to her.
Tina wiped some tears away. "He was so loving. So kind & compassionate..."
"It's New Years Eve! Lighten up. Just a smidge."
Tina looked at him sharply.
"What?" Isaac looked alarmed.
"N-nothing." Tina let out a shaky breath.
Fireworks started to burst into the air.
"Oh, well look at that!" Isaac smiled.
Tina gave him a small smile.
"Thank you, Mr Hawthorn." Tina murmured.
"My pleasure, Miss Goldstein."

Newt apparated to the docks just to see Tina's boat steam away into the distance.
Shaking his head, Newt rushed to the ticket booth.
"One ticket to America, please." Newt asked the tired looking attendant.
"We're closed, I was just packing up." The attendant picked up her bag.
"Please..."
"Come tomorrow."
With that, the attendant pulled down the metal barrier.
Newt apparated back to the Manor just in time for the fireworks.
He quickly went upstairs & back to his room.
Violet was still there.
"Get. Out." Newt demanded.
"Why?" Violet purred.
"I never want to see you again."
"I'll always be around, Newtie. I'll see you soon. Happy 1928."
The raven-haired girl rocked her hips as she slinked out of his room.
Newt immediately got out his suitcase & started to pack.
---------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
"How are you now?" Isaac asked Tina.
"Better," she sighed.
"That's good." Isaac nodded happily.
"Mr Hawthorn-" Tina started.
"Please call me Isaac."
"Then you have to call me Tina."
"Tina it is" Isaac grinned.
Tina blinked a couple times.
Isaac was very good looking. Like full on handsome.
"Tell me about yourself." Tina asked.
"Okay, my full name is Isaac Theodore Hawthorn. I'm 29 years old, I'm full on British-"
"That explains the accent." Tina noted.
"Yes. I'm going to America to work for the MACUSA-"
Isaac stopped.
"I-I'm sorry. MACUSA isn't a thing. I was just distracted by your eyes."
"As flattering as that is, MACUSA is a thing. I should know. I'm one of their top Aurors." Tina smiled.
Isaac beamed. "And I thought you couldn't get any better."
Tina cleared her throat. "Okay, my turn. My full name is something I don't usually tell people, but I like you, so I'll tell you. My full name is Porpentina Esther Goldstein."
"I like it! It's unique!" Isaac commented.
Tina felt herself blush.
"I'm 27 years old, I'm obviously American & you know my job."
"Nice to know." Isaac bit back a beam. He liked Tina. She was good looking, unique, engaging & she made him smile for absolutely no reason.
Tina stifled a yawn.
"Tina, I think it's time for you to go to bed."
The brunette nodded.
They both got up.
"If I may, can I see you again?" Isaac asked.
Tina felt her face going hot as her blush crept up her neck.
"I'd like that. Very much."

"Newt?" Joanne called.
The woman cracked open the door.
Newt sat on the edge of his bed with his head in his hands.
"Newton, what's going on? I can't find Tina, Queenie or Jacob anywhere." Joanne looked worried.
"They've gone back to America." Newt mumbled.
"Without you?"
"Y-yes."
"Newton, tell me right now what's going on."
"Violet put me under the Imperius Curse. Tina walked in just to see me kiss her."
"Newton, it's not your fault." Joanne soothed, sitting down next to him.
Newt felt hot tears running down his face.
"If-if I was just strong enough to fight it. I wouldn't have messed things up."
"No," Joanne said firmly. "It's not your fault. It's that ghastly Violet girl. I never liked her."
"Why didn't you say anything?" Newt looked at his mother.
"Because she made you smile. Before Tina came along, she was alright. She was kinder. Then, jealousy kicked in."
Joanne noticed Newt's half packed suitcase.
With a flick of her wand, she packed up the rest of his things.
"You go after her. You win back her heart. Tomorrow. For now, you need rest." Joanne smiled.
"Thank you, Mother." Newt gave her a small smile.

They were arriving in America that day.
"I'm excited, I think." Isaac noted. "This is a big job. An auror needed a new partner."
"I'm proud." Tina smiled.
"Thank you." Isaac ducked his head down.
They had become good friends over the past week & Tina liked the fact he kept her mind off Newt.
The ship docked.
Tina & Isaac stood facing each other at the docks.
Queenie had already apparated away with Jacob.
"I hope I'll see you around MACUSA, Tina." Isaac blushed, slightly.
"I hope so too." Tina smiled.
They both turned to leave.
They both stopped & turned back around.
They both stared at each other.
Without saying a word Isaac leaned in & kissed Tina.
