Determined, Queenie pushes the door open of the ancient English mansion located in Crypic Alley and heads for the library, where she knows she'll find the black haired witch she's been looking for.
She doesn't even bother to brush of the snow that had covered her fashionable rose-coloured new coat she had purchased only weeks earlier in a small boutique in New York.
Queenie doesn't knock, just marches in until she reaches the fire-place and the big, emerald green sofa, where she finally finds the ebony-haired beauty.
"What were you thinking?" she asks, unusally tempered for her otherwise well-behaved persona.
"Queenie!" the beauty cries out in surprise and immediately gets up to embrace the strawberry-haired American. "I've missed you so much, darling!"
Stepping forward, the witch carefully takes Queenie's face into her delicate hands and captures her lips in a hungry kiss.
For a moment, Queenie can't help herself but respond in an equally passionate way â too much time has passed since she's last touched these lovely lips.
The tension between the two witches heats up quickly and they let themselves fall upon the green sofa.
This time, it is Queenie who takes the lead and kisses her lover; first on the lips, then traces her jaw-line until she reaches her collar-bone. The ebony-haired witch underneath her breathes shallow and gives a soft groan.
Then, Queenie feels the hands on the small of her back fidgeting with the zipper of her pastel-coloured evening gown. She loved it when she did that.
And just about that time when Queenie cupped her lovers face to capture her lips once more, she remembered what she actually came here for.
"Leta," Queenie whispers and even though she loves the heat between them, she abruptly breaks the kiss, sat up straight on the sofa and straightened her dress, "we can't do this."
Leta Lestrange looks at the American witch with sadness in her dark eyes, before she, too, gets into an upright position. However, she doesn't bother fixing her black dress, instead, she leans forward and softly brushes her fingers over Queenie's cheek. It makes her heart skip a beat.
"You're coming all the way to England," Leta starts with a raised eyebrow, "after I haven't received a single letter from you in days and then you don't even want to kiss me? "
Queenie holds up a hand to interrupt her lover. "I ran into Newt."
Leta's eyes go wide and she pales visibly.
"He's carrying a picture of you with him all the time, Le!"
The young Lestrange tries to speak; she opens her mouth a couple of times, but no words come out. If the situation was different, Queenie might have mocked the Slytherin about her lacking speaking ability.
"I â I didn'tâĤ"
"Do you know how hard it was to look him in the eye and pretend to be sorry for him?" Queenie asks and she takes Leta's hand in her own, streaking it softly. "How hard it was for me to know that I was the person you left him for?"
Leta swallowed hard. "I never meant for this to happen. I â I never felt the way Newt did."
Queenie sighed. "He's still waiting for you. He still hopes you will change your mind about him."
The Slytherin looks into Queenie's green eyes with determination. "I love you, Q. And only you."
For a moment, the two witches sit there in silence.
"You need to tell him," the strawberry haired witch says after some time. "I cannot keep lying to him. Newt deserves to know the truth. About us."
Without saying another word, Queenie gives Leta one last passionate kiss before she leaves the mansion as quickly as she came.
