Flora-Part 1:
New York-Three months after Grindelwald's capture:
"So he's still not talking?" Queenie asked Tina as the two were sat with Jacob and Newt around the table. Jacob had been forced to take a vow that he wouldn't reveal the presence of witches and wizards in New York and he'd instantly agreed. Tina wasn't happy but there was nothing she could do.
"No he won't say a thing so we can't find Mr. Graves but we know he's still alive and he's well but needs attention. His girlfriend must be beside herself. There's bee no news of him at all," Tina said, "and, until Grindelwald speaks, we have no idea where to look for him."
"Please tell me the lock on that thing is fixed," Jacob said as he eyed Newt's case.
"Don't worry. Everything is securely locked inside that case now," Newt said, "the President saw to it herself that the locks were changed. Her sister also had a look."
"Well Luciana is Head of the Auror Office in Graves' absence," Queenie said before making them all more hot cocoa, "can't you find out if anything has been said overnight when you go in tomorrow?"
"Of course I will but it appears to me as if Grindelwald is waiting for someone to show up before he speaks," Tina sighed, "I'm going to bed," she said picking up her cup and heading to the sisters' bedroom and sliding the door shut.
The next morning arrived and Tina headed into MACUSA and looked around before heading up to the Auror Office.
"Luc… we cannot involve her. She and him are the Prophecy and that is the end of it," came the President's voice.
"Yes but we need him to talk and she is the only one who can make him talk. We need to find Graves. I know she's his girlfriend as well but maybe she can reach out to him," Luciana Picquery's voice reached Tina's ears, "we are going to face no choice soon in that we have to involve her."
"I don't really want to because it's too risky," Seraphina said as she moved towards the door, leaving Tina frozen as she came face to face with the Picquery sisters.
"I didn't mean to overhear at all," Tina said quickly as she looked at the President, "I just came to see if he was finally talking…"
"He will not budge at all and we just cannot think of a way to get him to talk," Seraphina said.
"Whatever you have heard keep it to yourself Goldstein," Luciana warned before she headed off after her sister and Tina couldn't help but wonder what they had been on about.
Newt was down in the case and Jacob was finishing off at the bakery so Tina naturally began to fill Queenie in on what she'd overheard.
"And they think this witch is the key to getting Grindelwald to open up?" the younger asked.
"Yes and whoever she is she is also Mr. Graves' girlfriend and they think that is the key to finding out where he is. The only problem is that there is some sort of prophecy involving this witch and Grindelwald and that makes it risky putting this witch in with Grindelwald," Tina said as she noticed Queenie's eyes widening.
"You don't think it's her… Flora…?" Queenie asked.
"It can't be. She's over the other side of the country…"
"I'm feeling her again. I think she's back in New York Teenie," Queenie sighed as she finally admitted something that she'd felt for weeks.
"She can't be. We'd have been told by now. I'd have seen her in the Auror Office."
"Not unless she's not back at MACUSA yet," Queenie said as she heard footsteps and turned to see Newt and Jacob both there.
"Who are you talking about?" Jacob asked.
"Our youngest sister," Tina said as she looked at the men, "we don't talk about her because she caused the deaths of our parents."
"They died of Dragon Pox though," Jacob said.
"That Flora contracted. Somehow she got better and they both died. Whether they made some sort of deal to save her or not we don't know," Queenie said, "she's been training in Los Angeles but I've been feeling her thoughts. She's a Legillimens like me so I know if she's around again and I felt her a few weeks back but never thought anything of it until Teenie…"
"Heard the President and her sister talking about a witch with a prophecy linked to Grindelwald and is Mr. Graves' girlfriend. Then Queenie said about hearing Flora's thoughts…"
"So where is she now?" Newt asked, "you said she was in Los Angeles…?"
"Well when our aunt took us in we made it clear that we didn't want Flora with us so she went to the President's sister, Luciana, who is Head of the Auror Office. I was 7, Queenie 5 and Flora was 3 when Ma and Pa died," Tina said, "she saw me at school as she became a Thunderbird like me but we managed to avoid each other and then when she left Ilvermorny she was sent to MACUSA's Los Angeles division to do her training and then she was meant to be stationed out there but clearly that changed and she's back here."
"But Teenie said there's a prophecy of a witch and Grindelwald and Teenie thinks it could be about Flora but she's not Graves' girlfriend unless they've met somehow," Queenie added but we aren't sure if she really is back or not. All we know is that I've heard her thoughts and I haven't been able to do that in years."
"Can't you ask?" Jacob asked.
"We can do but all we can do is wait and see what's going on really. If it is Flora back then there will be a storm coming as we will see her for the first time since she was 17 and she's 21 now," Tina said, "but MACUSA finding Mr. Graves is more important so I will have to try and put any feelings aside," she said before heading to the bathroom.
"This is going to get hard," Queenie said, "but I forgive Flora… just don't tell Teen," she said and the two nodded before the blonde witch began to make the dinner but things were about to get interesting as all things were pointing to Flora being back and Queenie was unsure if Tina was ready to face their sister when the time came.
