Hey readers, thanks for taking an interest in this story. It's my first time doing something like this and any feed back on the story will be most helpful. I can only hope I can portray each character correctly, or at lease mostly accurately. This story will also be jumping perspectives from past character to future character often so we can get more perspective. Let me know what you think if this.

~Nightfire~

Tina was having a really, really bad day. She had been trapped in a sewer, ran all over Paris, helped break some laws, lost her sister, and had just finished fighting Grindelwald's destructive flames after watching it consume half a dozen people. She had just met back up with Newt and the other at the top of the cemetery stairs.

"So." Tina said, "What now?"

Before anyone was able to answer, an explosion was heard. While Tina was thankful for the distraction of her feelings, she really wanted to sleep and really didn't want to deal with more problems. She, along with the other, all had their wands at the ready as they turned towards the disturbance. There was no smoke, no fire, nothing but a strong wave of magical energy. A gust of wind blew her hair into her face and the sky was lit with light. She counted seven in total, of falling light. Only one stood out, but not by much.

"What in Merlin's sake is that?" Tina heard Theseus ask.

No one answered, not even the wise, olden Nicolas Flamel provided anything as the watch the lights landed throughout Paris.

"Either way, we should investigate." Tina said. "See if there's damage, or if any No-majs need to be Obliviated."

"Right." Theseus agreed. "Let's split up. I'll take the two that landed East."

"I'll take the area where the three landed." Tina called.

"I shall check the two that landed separately then?" Newt said.

"No." Flamel spoke. "I'll take one, I might be able to provide some insight if I take a closer look."

"And what of us?" Yusuf Kama asked, his accent ever present. "I have a non-Magique, an a Maldictus, What are we supposed to do?"

"You could go back to my house, Mr. Kama." Flamel said. "Take those to with you and let them rest, you yourself are still recovering from that parasite Mr. Scamander removed."

"Let's go." Tina said.

She and the others disapparated, leaving no room for argument. Tina landed on the roof a block away from her target location. She saw no sign of damage in the surrounding area. She froze at a sound. It was a spell hitting something, followed by another. At the sound of a crack, she Apparated again. This time she landed a small distance away on the street where the light landed. There was no damage, nothing to suggest anything had even happened till she saw the two people in the middle of the road. One was tall, had dark hair that looked like it was attempted at being tamed but had bits sticking out. He was wearing a suit, a style she wasn't familiar with, he was helping the woman on the ground stand. Tina moved slowly toward them, not wanting to startle them if they were friendly. Tina knew it was wishful thinking that they were just bystanders but the magical steam fading off them suggested otherwise. She kept her wand at the ready. When she got even closer, she could hear the tall man apologizing to the woman, something about ruining something before he stopped and turned to look at her.

"You!" She shouted at him, "Are you responsible for that surge of magic!"

He blinked at her, his green eye held a confused look for a moment. She decided to take a step forward.

"Answer the question!"

The man took a step back, lining him up with the women.

"Ma'am."

Tina's attention was brought to the women, she was British? She was a fair height and had long very pale blond hair that was done up as if for a party. Tina glanced at her dress, it was… Unique, Tina would say. The blonde had a look in her blue eyes, and she seemed relaxed. Tina noted both their wands.

"Can you explain what happened?"

She spoke in a soft, almost whimsical tone. It was almost calming but the question dropped her guard.

"You mean you don't know?" Tina asked them.

She had been hoping for something to go as expected for once.

"No. I wouldn't say that." The blond witch said. "But we would like to know your view on the matter."

Tina's mood was growing more sour, she wanted sleep and answers and for everything to go back to the way they were..

"I'm really not in the mood for this." she grumbled under her breath.

"That makes two of us."

Oops, she must have said that louder then she thought. Tina focused back on him. He was tense, unlike his friend, and he looked familiar but she couldn't place it. He had some scars on his face, the most peculiar one was the lighting bolt shaped one on his forehead.

"Look, Mr…"Tina started, hoping to at least get a name, he didn't provide one. "All I know is I had just helped save Paris and an explosion of magic happened, we saw lights fly out of and land all around the city. My team split up to investigate."

"Lights?" he asked.

The man's face twisted into thinking, she could see his eyes trying to make connections. She carried on, explaining that the balls of lights were scattered. He didn't interrupted her once. He was at least respectful to a degree, and she hoped that giving answers with give answers. When he asked about the locations of the other light, his eyes held a flash of worry, and guilt, and… Something else she could quite make out. She forced herself to relax a little, trying to make a show of goodwill.

"Well, three landed here and I found you two, so…"

Her mind was also trying to make connections to the current events. Three landed here, but she only saw two people. Her eyes automatically scanned around, she tried to make it look like a casual glance at a building. Where would the third person be?

"Ran off." the man told her.

Tina stiffed. He knew what she was thinking, or she was being apparent. She went with that option, she was, after tired and had a long day. Tina offered up the locations of the other landing zones. She even told them about the one light that was different but now they knew more then her and it was time she asked questions, especially when the look of realization passed over the names face for a brief moment and he held his head in his hands.

"Where did that one land?" He asked, almost worried.

"Why?" Tina asked, ready for her answers now. "How about you answer some of my questions now?"

The man got a look of annoyance, and frustration on his face.

"Fine." He said, seeming a bit crossed.. "My name is Harry. This is Luna. The last thing I remember was being attacked during her wedding and finding myself here."

His answer there at least to the point and only raised more questions. His friend, Luna he called her, seemed to have calmed him a bit.

"Look Ma'am, I just want to find my friends, and the wizard who attacked me so I can arrest him."

'Arrest?' she questioned in her head.

"You're an Auror?" She asked.

"Yes?"

Harry said that like it was supposed to be common knowledge. Just as she was about to ask another question, a loud screech could be heard.

"What... Was that?" Tina asked, hoping they knew.

"That would be the green light." Harry answered.

He was casual about it, as if, it wasn't a problem. She heard hooves and they were growing closer. A creature rounded the corner at the far end of the street. Hoove, wings, a screech like a bird. Tina went through the list of beasts she's read about in Newt's book trying to figure out what it was. It was a Hippogriff, the name suddenly found it's way in. She tried to remember what Newt put on it's entry. She lose her train of thought when Harry moved to in the Hippogriff's direct path, Luna followed, not losing any movement in that dress of her's

"Are you insane, get out of the way!" She yelled at them, while moving more out of the way.

Even a child knows to never be in the path of something dangerous moving full speed in your direction. They ignored her. Crack sounding in the air let her know that there were more wizards coming close as well. How she wished it was Newt. She always enjoyed how creatures just seem to listen to him. She knew that A crack sounded right next to Harry, he didn't flinch. Auror indeed. A new man stood next to Harry. He was just shorter than Harry, but not my much, and a bit more...Heavy set she would say. The stranger greeted Harry as if an out of control beast wasn't charging at them. Tina watched as Harry didn't respond. The Hippogriff drew closer. He told his friends to back up, and they moved over to where Tina was. Tina hoped Harry wouldn't hurt the beast, but he didn't have his wand drawn, he must have put it away. She couldn't take her eye away as the man braced and crouched slightly. It was quiet, the other wizards had stopped chasing. Tina spared a glance. It was Newt and Flamel! Newt had a look on his face like he wanted to jump in front of the Hippogriff but it was too late. It was already upon Harry. Harry lifted his arms suddenly, springing from his slight crouch with a big shout. The beast reared back, it's claws were too close to Harry for her comfort but he backed up, his arms blocking his face. It circled back only to be faced with Newt and Flamel. The beast turned away from them, even though Newt was trying to get it's attention. Harry walked toward it, drawing it's attention to him. Even Tina could clearly see that the Hippogriff was beyond startled.

"Please tell me your friend knows what he's doing." Tina asked Luna.

"He'll be alright." Luna said calmly. "That Hippogriff knows Harry, he'll be alright."

Tina Prayed she was right. She watched in silence as Harry kept eye contact. Not blink when the Hippogriff flared it's wings and pawed the street. He only took one step back, showing his hands to the beast and slowly lowered into a bow. The Hippogriff didn't return the gesture like she read in the book. He reared up again, wings flapping and letting out another screech. Harry didn't break eye contact.

"Back up!" Tina heard Newt tell him.

Tina watched as Harry didn't move an inch and the was on all four again. She watched as the man strighten himself and took a step forward, even though the Hippogriff didn't bow back. When it flapped it's wing Tina held her breath, but the Hippogriff also took a step closer before it fully closed the gap, brushing its beak against the man's shoulder. She moved closer to Newt. His eyes were full of amazement.

"I have never seen that." Newt told her.

"Well from what I understand, is that Hippogriff belongs to him." Tina told him.

"Even then, there would need to be a level a trust proud creature like that would need in order to be handled so directly like that." Newt told her. "Amazing."

They watched as Harry summoned a rope, making a lead. Tina watched as Harry patted the beast calmly, as if it wasn't about to have just mowed him over moments before. Harry's two friends move to him. She watched as the newer one looked around nervously and talked so quietly they couldn't heat him. Newt brushed past her, of course beelining for the creature. When the Hippogriff spotted him, it squawked and tensed. Moving behind his owner flapping its wings a little. Flamel joined her side as Harry faced Newt. She watched Newt with awe

"Who are you?" Harry asked.

His face was in a slight scowl, like he had just accidently stepped on a puftskin.

"Err, Harry." Harry friend said.

She wondered what had him so nervous.

"This is Newt Scamander."

It was a simple introduction. So simple that's why Harry's response threw her off. At first, it didn't seem to matter, no recognition even though Newt was now a very famous wizard. Harry's eyes studied Newt for a moment before a look passed his face, his eyes going slightly wide.

"Oh."

It was such an underwhelming but loaded response. It wasn't awe that most people get for meeting a famous wizard. Nor was it a surprise like something unexpected happened. No It was like he punched a person, only to realize it was just a jacket hanging up. Tina could see a thousand thoughts passing through Harry's eyes. Newt was just standing there awkwardly, this wasn't the response he'd expect either.

"Newt!" Tina called to him.

"Oh, Tina!" he said.

Newt moved back over to her and Flamel.

"I see you also find something." Tina said.

"Er. You can say that." Newt said. "I'm afraid I didn't quite get the chance to find answers."

Tina watched as Harry huddled his two friends closer.

"I have something, at least I think it's something." Tina told him. "The taller man says he's an Auror, a British Auror. Does he look familiar, said his name was Harry?"

"That's a question, better left for my brother." Newt told her, not meeting her eyes.

Newt glanced at the man. He did look familiar, but for some reason could't place him. The man's green eyes met Newt's.

"Whoever he is, he doesn't seem to happy with me." Newt told her.

"Well, you do have a knack for upsetting Aurors."

"Excuse me, Mr. Scamander."

Tina and Newt turned their attention to Luna, who had walked up to them.

"I think it's best if we meet up with the rest of our groups." Luna said. "Than, once we have found our friend, I think we'll be more than happy to answer any questions you may have."

Thanks for reading chapter 2, Please let me know if you have any ideas that may help the story. I have a set plan for the story itself but little tidbit till the end can make it much more better. I am open for criticism and judgment, just remember to keep your words tame, and explain your reasoning if possible.
