Jacob extended his hand, we both shook it and smiled.
We slowly walked across the ice, careful not to slip.
"Well, two down, one to go," Newt said, "can you help me?"
We all helped each other enter the case.
Suddenly, I could hear someone lock the case.
"Merlin's beard, we're locked in," Newt said.
"I don't think we just got locked in," I said, I had a feeling that someone had been following us, probably Tina.
"I really hope she's not taking us to MACUSA but I'm being optimistic here," I said.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard the case open and then a knock.
"We need to go," I said.
Newt came out, I followed him. Jacob also followed us.
I looked around the room, thousands of people were looking at us.
"Mr.Scamander," a man said.
"Scamander, the war hero?" another one asked.
"No, this is his little brother," the man replied, "And what are you doing in New York?"
"I came to buy a puffkin, sir," Newt answered.
"Right, what are you really doing here?" he asked.
"Goldstein, who are the others?" Picquery asked.
"This is Miss Booth, his 'sidekick' you could say and the other is Mr.Kowalski, a NoMaj who was bitten by Mr.Scamander's creatures," Tina explained.
The room started to fill with murmurs.
On the ceiling was an image of a dead man, he looked like he'd been destroyed.
"Merlin's beard," Newt muttered.
"You know which of your creatures was responsible for this, Mr.Scamander?" a woman asked.
I knew it couldn't be any of Newt's creatures, it looked more like an Obscurus. However, the Obscurus inside Newt's case never escaped.
"No creature did that, we must not pretend," Newt said, "Look at the marks."
"That's an Obscurus," I said.
The murmurs started again.
"You go too far, Mr.Scamander, you too, Miss Booth," Picquery said, "There is no Obscurial in America, impound that case, Graves."
Suddenly, Graves took Newt's case.
"Wait, look," Newt protested.
"Newt," I whispered.
"Arrest them," Picquery instructed.
Handcuffs were put on us, including Jacob and Tina.
"Don't hurt those creatures, please you must understand, nothing in there is dangerous," Newt said.
"We'll be the judges of that," Picquery said, "Take them to the cells."
"Don't hurt those creatures because nothing in there is dangerous," Newt repeated.
He continued to shout as we were dragged to the cells.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I was sat in one corner of the cell while Newt in the other.
"I'm so sorry about your creatures, Mr.Scamander," Tina said, "I truly am."
I rolled my eyes. I didn't believe that, however, these weren't my creatures, they were Newt's.
"Can someone please tell me what this obscurial obscurus thing is, please?" Jacob asked.
"There hasn't been one for centuries," Tina said.
"We met one in Sudan three months ago," Newt said, "There used to be more of them but they still exist, before wizards went underground, when we were still being hunted by muggles, young wizards and witches tried to suppress their magic to avoid persecution."
"So instead of learning to harness or to control their powers, it would turn into an Obscurial," I explained.
"Mr.Scamander, Miss Booth and Miss Goldstein, come with us for an interrogation please," a MACUSA worker told us.
