The smell of her sister's delicious food is what wakes her up, Tina opened her eyes with a dreamy smile as she lifted from the bed and prepared herself for the day. She had already bathed and dressed for a boring day when she entered the kitchen still with the dreamy smile plastered on her face, the dream of last night was amazing, Newt coming back here with his brother in tow to clear out the misunderstanding. If only it was that… a misunderstanding.
The giggles of her sister interrupt her inner musings. "Don't be silly it wasn't a dream." Declared her sister with that conspiratorial smile that she loved to give her sister whenever they were talking about love.
"If it wasn't a dream, where are they?" Asked Tina still sceptical if whatever happened last night was a fabrication of her minds hopes and desires.
"They slept in the case. And I have this as a prof." She shows her a photo of her and Newt in the little sofa in his case with Dougal in the middle, they were holding hands and looking at each other with a dreamy look. "You two looked so cute." Giggled a euphoric Queenie. "I can already hear the wedding bells!"
"It is too early for that, stop it."
Queenie just smiled at her sister knowingly as se arranged the table for four. "Could you go and wake those two?" Asked Queenie as she finished their meal.
Tina just nodded and opened the case to call for the brothers. "Newt! Breakfast is ready." She yelled into the case.
"We'll be there in a minute, gorgeous." Said Theseus.
She heard something hitting and then a squeal from Theseus after some profanities. She faintly heard the voice of Newt "Aren't you engaged? "Asked an exasperated Newt.
Tina closed case before se could hear more of the quarrel what ever that it followed it was part of a private talk between them.
"Sometimes you are so uptight Tina." Said Queenie with a pout as Tina returned to the kitchen.
Tina just saw Queenie with a frown, she didn't know what her sister was into, but it couldn't be good.
"I am just saying that you should relax a little, be less righteous about everything, you could have heard their quarrel and even made fun of them."
Before Tina could answer the voice of Theseus interrupted their talk. "Good morning ladies." He said with a huge smile. Newt appeared shortly behind him, he looked tired as if he didn't get any sleep last night.
"Newt! You look awful, didn't you sleep last night?" Asked Queenie
"well, I would have if Theseus didn't sound like a tractor." Said an exasperated Newt as he gave a glare to his brother who only gave him a sweet smile as a response. "How can Leta sleep in the same room as you?" Asked a mortified Newt really questioning the sanity of his friend.
Theseus got near his brother to give him a pat in the back. "Well, brother that is the issue, we don't only sleep." He answered with a devilish grin. "She ends up so tired that she falls asleep immediately."
"I didn't need to know that, prick." Said Newt as he took a seat in front of Tina. As Queenie was hiding her laughter behind her hand.
"You could sleep, in the couch and leave the case to Theseus" Said Tina. thinking of a good solution for Newts sleepless night.
"Thanks that would be lovely." Said Newt.
Theseus snorted at the idea and Queenie began to laugh uncontrollably, whatever thought had Theseus shared with her sister it wasn't good.
"What did you tell her?" Asked Newt with a barely controlled voice.
"I was just wondering, if that is your cue for…"
"I am not you Theseus" groaned Newt as he ate his pancakes. Queenie was sharing a smug smile with Theseus, surely plotting something. While Tina ate her breakfast ignoring the older Scamander, she wondered if Newt was grumpy for his sleepless night or for his brother.
"So, are we going to visit Jacob's Bakery?" Asked Newt searching for her approbation.
"Of course, honey." Squealed Queenie before Tina could reprimand them, last night she thought that it was a dream, a dream where everything was possible. Therefore, neither of them is going to visit that bakery.
"No, Queenie. We already talked about this." Said Tina giving a hard look to her sister, as Newt just nodded in acceptance. As if he already knew that it was too good for being true.
"Why?" Asked a confused Theseus, he most know even less about America than Newt on his first time here.
"It is against the law. We can't befriend or acquaint ourselves with a no-maj, mush less be in a relationship with one." She finished with a harsh tone looking at her sister.
"No-maj?" Asked a Theseus clueless
"I can't believe it you are just like, Newt." Queenie laughed picking out her memory of Newts smile the first time that she had detained him and explained to him what a no-maj is.
"She means muggle, Thes. Jacob, the gentleman that you meet last night is a muggle." Said Newt to his brother, that now seemed to understand the situation.
"Then if he is a muggle, and you knew" he said pointing his gaze on Tina. "why did you let him stay? I know that my brother loves to blend the law and on more than one occasion break it but Miss Goldstein why did you let it pass yesterday?" Tina just stared down at her plate, as Queenie threw her way a smug smile. "Well?"
"She thought that it was a dream!" said a giggling Queenie, Theseus joined with his own hearty laugh. Newt just kept a neutral face on his empty plate.
"Come on, we have to meet with madam president" Tina said standing up. As Queenie turned to the kitchen to clean everything with a simple spell.
"You like them bossy eh Newt!" Said Theseus in a whisper that was meant only for his ears, Newt response was a little smile. He didn't noticed Tina or her bewitched smilt at the implications to his response.
"Come back to the real world Teenie! We are going to be late!" Said Queenie, as she rushed to the door.
