She was a Taker

Chapter 13

It was very late and he was very tired.

Newt yawned, but he had to keep searching. For his mother.

He kept flipping page after page after page, sentence by sentence, until one word struck him and he grinned.

Hazel was dusting the house when Newt slid into the room. "Newton! No sliding on the clean floors- oh look at that you've gotten them all dirty!-"

"-Mother could you stop talking! I have something here that you'll find very interesting."

She paused, "Oh?"

Newt handed her the paper, "A Petition?" Hazel asked confused, "How's that going to help?"

he smiled, "Mum, there may not be a Hippogriff protection act now, but if we protest and get enough signatures, then there is a possibility that the law will be passed!"

Hazel nodded "and how many signatures do we need?" she asked taking a sip of her tea.

"About 20 000." he replied with ease.

Hazel spit out her tea, "20 000?! ARE YOU MAD?!"

Newt took this time to dry the tea off his trousers.

"HARDLY ANY OF THE WIZARDING COMMUNITY EVEN CARES ABOUT MAGICAL CREATURES! AND YOU EXPECT US TO GET 20 000?!!!"

Newt sighed, "Mother calm down, you know lots of respectable wizards and witches in the community, I'm sure if they listened to what happened im sure they would be able to lend a signature." he said optimistically.

Hazel smiled weakly, "Oh I suppose you're right. It's better than moping around I suppose."

Tina stayed home for a while to look after Queenie, when she returned there she saw a man being pulled into the dungeons by two stern face aurors, while the president and the aurors watched in cold silence.

She went up to David, "What's going on?" she asked

"We found him hiding in an abandoned apartment with his wife, a No-Maj. She's being obliviated as we speak and he's being sent to the death chamber as punishment." he told her smirking.

Tina felt her hands get cold, the death chamber...

"MR SCAMANDER!"

"Don't panic!"

"Well what do you suggest I do instead?"

"Jump."

"Are you crazy?!"

"Tina listen to me, I'll catch you."

The man was sobbing, he kept on repeating his wife's name over and over again.

All Tina could see was her sister being dragged like this to her death for loving a No-Maj, she couldn't bear it.

She turned her head away and vowed that she would never let this happen to her sister.

"Why Hazel Scamander. What a pleasant surprise come in come in." Drawled Abraxas Malfoy,

Hazel gratefully stepped into the dark and leering Malfoy Manor. "Are you recovering from the uh, ordeal you suffered the Christmas party." he asked.
