Newt Scamander is a British wizard, who was expelled yet graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is 29 years old, yet very nervous around everyone, because he is socially awkward. His best friends are his magical creatures, whom he carries in his enchanted suitcase.

He was having his first trip to New York in the year 1926, because his one creature Frank the Thunderbird, needed to be set free in the wilds of Arizona. He cautiously looked around the deck to find a lot of foreign muggles(non magical people) around him. He was nervous to visit a new continent, but somehow for his beasts he always manages to travel the world, despite being utterly unsocial.

~Time Skip~

The muggle hotel he boarded was pleasantly quiet and sober. He has experienced much worse. Sometimes he chooses to stay down his case in case of a very bad hotel, but this was a good room.

He kept his case on a table in his hotel room, removed his bright blue coat and changed into some nomaj(muggle for Americans) clothings. He left his room in the afternoon to go to a library. He wanted to read some new books.

He entered a library which read 'National association for readers'. He noticed that there was an enchanted sign, which was invisible to muggles. "Nomajs" - Newt corrected mentally.

Like he expected, there was a magical door which would lead nomajs to a normal room; but Wizards and Witches to the special corner of magical books. He entered to find lots of magical people reading moving books in wizarding robes. He chose the furthest corner possible and kept summoning different books with his wand from the sections of the library.

Half an hour later, Newt was reading an interesting history of the american magical school 'Ilvermorny'. Suddenly, a girl in her mid 20s entered the library. Newt noticed her because her face was hidden behind at least 10-15 piles of fat books. Otherwise he never notices opposite sex, he was completely oblivious to women.

The girl carried the books with magic, and kept them on the desk in front of the librarian. "Ah, Miss Goldstein. Is your research done?"

The girl had her back to Newt, so he couldn't see her face. She replied, "Oh no Madam Harriet, I wish it were. I'm just left with the background of my school and a summary of each subject."

Madam Harried smiled to the girl and said, "Poor dear. They're making you work way too much. Are you eating properly?"

She nodded and went to a particular book shelf. Newt continued reading about Ilvermorny. Newt heard a 'hmm' from behind and turned to see the same Miss Goldstein beside him, eating a hamburger with such pleasure as if there's no tomorrow. Her face still couldn't be seen because of Newt's position. He chuckled at her eating and continued reading.

Moments later, Newt felt a tap on his back. He turned to see a very beautiful face with perfect large brown eyes, shoulder length caramel hair and small pouted lips. It was that girl.

Newt swallowed and stared at her.

She leaned over Newt to see his book, making his heart beat too fast. "Could I borrow your book for a moment please? It's the only copy right now."

Newt nodded and slowly held out the book. The girl sweetly smiled and sat beside him. She curiously asked, "Are you new here?"

Newt spoke for the first time since he came here, "Yes, I'm...it's my first time in Ne-New York."

The girl widened her eyes, "You're British! Did you go to Hogwarts? What's your name?"

Newt was flushed at the sudden interaction. But the girl seemed really curious and Newt was a bit amused. So he replied, "I'm Newt Scamander. Oh um..yes I studied at Hogwarts. And you are?"

She smiled and did a face palm. "Sorry I'm being terribly rude no? I'm Porpentina Goldstein. Nice to meet you."

Newt shyly smiled and nodded. Since he had no book to read now, he observed the girl. She was just another species to him, which he liked to analize. But his stomach was giving him a funny flutter each time she smiled or leaned over him.

The girl was reading the book, but then she noticed him staring. She looked up and raised a brow. Newt instantly flushed and shook his head, looking down at his knees. The girl closed her book and cleared her throat.

Newt asked her, "Err… Porpentina.."

"Just Tina." She replied.

Newt said, "Oh alright then. Just Tina, can you help me find books on magical creatures?" Tina giggled at his 'just Tina' cheek.

She said, "Yes I can. Come with me."

She lead him to a bookshelf really far from the main gate and there were very less people around. There was a table at a side, the light was less bright.

Newt's eyes were full of awe when he saw so many old books. He immediately chose one, thanked Tina and started reading the book. Tina was watching this nervous new wizard, whose eyes were darting from page to page.

After sometime, Newt finished reading the book and realized that Tina was long gone. He also decided to leave, so he apparated to his hotel room; not wanting to walk the unknown streets.
