Porpentina Goldstein or Tina was sat at the cafeteria of MACUSA staring at her boss, Percival Graves.
Following the revelation that Gellert Grindelwald was impersonating Percival Graves for some time, a formal investigation went underway for the location of the real Auros Percival Graves. It seems that no one suspected anything was different with Graves while he was being impersonated, due to the fact that his behavior and icy demeanor was exactly the same. Graves was found trapped within his personal pensive reliving his worst memories. It seems Grindelwald had found a way to trap him in a never-ending loop of some of his worst experiences.
How Grindelwald managed to fool Graves into the trap in the first place was something Graves would take to his...grave. Anyway, Graves had a reputation to uphold and opted to say that he was chasing Grindelwald and 'happened' to fall into the pensive, on accident. It was Tina who had found him, as she herself had fallen into the pensive while searching Grave's apartment-a combination of clumsiness, and Grave's decision to put his pensive on his closet floor next to a pile of clothes, just waiting to be tripped on.
In it, she gained a better understanding for who Graves was, and then found Graves and got him out. No one should have to relive their worst memories for that long, and Grindelwald had been impersonating Graves for well over three months. Grindelwald had not planned for a second person to be in the pensive and all Graves had to do was take Tina's hand and follow her out. At first, Graves was angry at Tina for doing the job of an Auros, but when he found out about her involvement in capturing Grindelwald, handling the Obscurial situation, and her reinstatement into the Auror division, he was both impressed and happy that she was the one to find him, though he didn't show it.
What followed was a mutual understanding between the two Aurors. Graves even started working with Tina from time to time, building a friendship. While Graves was already working again like nothing had ever happened and hadn't even mentioned his long capture, the Senior Aurors had been unable to move on. They were ashamed that Grindelwald, the evilest wizard of their time, had been able to capture their boss from right under their nose and none of them had noticed - that would have been enough to make the most prideful of wizards and witches humble and ashamed.
Now almost a few months after Grindelwald, the MACUSA have a whole new problem in their hands.
Within a month, it has been found three bodies. Some part of their anatomy were missing, at first the MACUSA thought that it was for the non-magic people work as none of the victim was a wizard or witch. Of course, the employees of MACUSA investigation it unofficial trying to figure out if Grindelwald was behind this , they official take the case when the third became more extreme than the other two.
Tina lifts a perfectly sculpted eyebrows. "So, what is our next move! "
The President snapped back to the room" Will will get all our friends in on this. I want the complete cooperation of every 'unsavoury contact' the lot of you have between yourselves. And if they don't answer to money, they will answer to President 's wand. That ought to light a fire under their arses."
''I think i can help with that!'said a shy voice and everyone turned their head to see Newt Scamander.
Tina looked the man who stolen her heart at his first visit at New York with ta magical suitcase.
After a month of visiting Tina, Picquery decides that if Newt's going to be in MACUSA almost every day, the least he can do is make good use of his free time and work as a consultant.
And that's how Newt gets himself a job in New York, much to Theseus' irritation.
It's quite nice actually; he gets to help magical creatures and he has the chance to see Tina, Queenie and Jacob more often. He also gets to meet the real Percival Graves, a year after being rescued, and although the man is really intimidating (it doesn't help that the whole auror Department appears to be afraid of him) he has never been rude to Newt.
Then the woman sighs as she could not find ways to draw his attention, her sister told her she could seduce him but it will not be so low. Sometimes Tina was thinking if there was another woman in his life or met one of the many trips he had made but Queenie could not find anything in his mind.
She was pinning hard. Tina would usually laugh at girls like this, piningafter a guy, wanting him so bad. No, that was for girls like Queenie, with their flirty attitude and their lack of desire in having serious careers, perfectly content in being coffee witches and batting their lashes and skirts at wizards who wrapped themselves 'round their ring fingers. Pining away - why, it wasn't the sort of thing sensible Tina Goldstein would ever do. And yet here she was.
But Newt was something else. She hadn't thought much of him at first, not really. She didn't think he was too terrible, mostly a little annoying, unassuming, not bad on the eyes but she'd seen better. But he would help her prove she could do this, be an Auror once again. A man with dangerous beasts? That was sure to get her something!
And then he'd stolen her away on some incredible, wild run from the law. And for the first time in a very long time she was breathless, the strength in which he'd caught her in the chamber, the clench of his jaw as he'd thrown that thing - Swoop, that creature, at Grindelwald. Hapless-looking Newt Scamander was more than he let on.
"What?"
Newt laughed nervously ..Well, he's usually feeling that way when it comes to interacting with people (there are a few exceptions of course) but this time is slightly different.
"I know someone who is expert in this..."
"Expert in what?"
Graves's eyes narrowed, zeroing in on their magiczoologist's face.
"Killing!"
Everyone looked at him like he was crazy, their loving magic zoologist knew someone like Grindelwald?. Impossible, but again Newt have been traveling around for years, he has been met with a lot of people.
"The friend of yours.." The president hesitant to ask. "You think that will be helpful?"
"I will send a owl but..."
The president bounded off the table, landing in front of Newt.",Call this person, yesterday"
The next day find the people of MACUSA staring at the wall of evidence. Everyone made this mission their life especially Graves.
Everyone knew that, they saw his obsession with this case but they didn't say a word, after all they couldn't understand him except Newt. The young man it was not the first time he had seen this behavior, the endless nights in front of photos, the nightmares, the madness included depression, constant anxiety and an increased risk of substance abuse.
Everyone where in rush trying to find evidences, people to talk, trying to avoid Graves' rage and fine time to get something to eat behind Graves ' back because if he see someone sit in his ass and relax , he can even fire him.
They were so deep in their paperwork which no one noticed the woman who walked into the MACUSA's door.
The woman had luscious red curls. The beauty's skin was a flawless pearl white that if you looked close enough, it glittered like diamonds. She stood at 5'8 with an hourglass figure, a nicely rounded shaped ass encased in tight fitted jeans that looked like it was painted on like a second skin. The woman's toned arms showed through the lightweight sleeves of her shirt, and the swords hanging from her belt made her appear deadly. She looked like an Amazon. A true warrior, the kind Tina wished could be. Oh, she was a good fighter, a soldier, she knew that but this woman could send troops into battle, and no one would blink. Her breasts were perfectly proportioned, not too big and not too small.
"She looks so sexy and fit!" squealed Fontaine when he saw the stranger, to which most of MACUSA's male population agreed to.
Graves walks toward her."Ma'am you can..."
The woman walks through with without a single glance toward him.
"Where is Newton?" The woman demanded to no one in particular.
Graves was beyond irritated now. This womn was openly ignoring him; however, at the mention of Newt, he couldn't contain his curiosity. Who was this woman and how she knows their friend.
"Miss I would like to...
''Your mouth. Close that shit'' the woman and if the looks can kill the man would be dead.'
Graves just blinked and gave her a look of pure disbelief. Was he dreaming? Surely not, nor was he dead since his mind stopped. This woman just told him to shut up.
''Where the hell is Newton''
As if on cue, they all heard the voice of said man.
"Then Midas. ..."Newt voice echoed in the hallway of MACUSA. The young man was walking with Tina by his side, he was talking about his last adventure with one of his sniffer.
Newt was rambling away as always not noticing that the woman next to him was looked at Newt like he hung the moon in the sky.
Oh no, this was even better. Newt was looking at him longingly. Dare she say, lovingly. He was pining for her. And as usual, he wouldn't let himself believe that someone could possibly like him back.
Newt looks around trying find the reason of the silance brother but the moment their eyes meet and Newt looks up, into the woman's eyes in front of him, he pauses, taken back.
"Hey, Newt." She said. A huge smile spread out on Newt's face while the head of Tina was about to explode from jealousy.
Newt straightened his posture immediately. "Ara," he greeted with a smile. "How lovely to see you again."
Her long red curls were bouncing while she walked gracefully towards Newt.
Newt hates hungs or comfortable with another person. Usually, New refrained from physical contact with, he was clinging tightly to this woman. Tina wondered if Newt liked her as more than a friend. There was also the fact that the woman was clinging to Newt as tightly as Newt was clinging to her. She would have to keep her eye on them.
I still can't believe you were on vacation'' Newt said, looking at Ara, "the old Ara wouldn't have done that."
"Well, after my last mission I almost lost my shit," Ara said, shrugging it off.
Newt smiled, "You were never good at pacing yourself, Ara."
"You would know," She replied with a mischievous grin.
"They hurt you," Newt said running his finger down the woman's cheek upon a scar.
"They were ending worse than me"
Before anyone could blink, the woman whipped her gun from the waistband of her pants and pointed it at Queenie Goldstein. Tina raised her wand.
Newt lifted his arms, gesturing for everyone to lower their wands. But it was her he spoke to directly. "Alright, Tina, hold up. ."
The woman just smiled at her, lifting her chin with a dare on her lips.
"Look, guys, come on. Just...relax. Okay." He looked back and forth between the two women. "Tina put the wand down. Now. Now!"
Did he just choose this woman? Over her? Some part of her broke at the thought; he'd been the one on her side. Always her side... Emotional, she was being emotional. So much so that the rational part of her failed to realize she was the one holding the wand. Compartmentalize, put the feelings away. She lowered the wand, and everyone else followed suit.
'If you ever tried to read my mind again, I will rip your eyes from your head'' the woman growled.
Quinine was terrified and could not speak, Tina was right to say that she must stop to reads the thought of someone but the woman it was a mystery for her and everyone since they did not know about the personal life of Newt and about the fact that the arrival of the woman put a huge smile on his face but brought a huge wave of jealousy from her sister with some frightening thoughts to kill the unknown woman. But who believed that this woman had a gun with her and did not step down even when there are so many wands to direct the neck of.
''I became clear? She asks again but more intense this time.
''Yes' 'replied the blonde witch with a little voice and a smile appeared in the face of the woman.
''Good' 'She said and put her weapon away turning at Newt. ''My dear Fido, can you explain why yesterday evening an owl came through my window and sat on the bed and staring at me while having sex?''
''Well...''
''What is going on here?''
Everyone turned to sees Seraphine standing at the top of the stairs and look towards them as if it was a child who broke her favorite vase mom and for that, all the Auros went to their offices leaving Newt and the Goldstein's sister and the unknown woman alone deal with the President.
''Madam President, I'm sorry for the upset, but I've had an important guest' 'said Newt as look at the woman with a smile.
The Madam President look at the woman standing beside him, she was hard features and an aura of chaos and destruction with her eyes not having any emotion in them but what made her great impression was that Newt knew such a person as this woman with weapons and was ready to shoot some in front of all the people.
''Madam President, I would like you to meet...''Newt said.
"I can introduce myself, Fido," She interrupted. 'Ara Red, good friend of Fido''
''Madam President and thank you that you accepted to help us' 'said President as they shake their hands and Newt looked at the floor to avoid the woman's eye.
''What? 'She growled, pulling away from her as she glared at Newt.
''Now' 'said Ara as look at Newt. 'Can you explain why I'm here?''
''Why not we go to my office for some explain' 'said the President and the hunter followed her to her office when they heard the door to shut everyone the Auros run to Newt for some information.
''She's beauty, she's grace, she's will punch you in the face' '
''Who she is?''
''Is she single ?''
''Can I have the address of her house?''
''QUIET' 'said Percival Graves and no one dared to speak after this as they know the temper of the man.''You can do some questions but do not drown the poor boy''
The expression of Graves face has covered in the annoying expression but the truth was that Graves wanted to learn about this woman as he had never met a woman how could handle a gun like a fork. She walked into MACUSA armed ignoring the danger, the training Aurors and that they could have locked her up in seconds. He tried to profile her in the speed, but it was impossible. She has been shrouded in mystery. He couldn't tell about her anything more than that she is very self-confident, ambitious woman with authority that came from nowhere. Femme fatale with a light, perhaps treacherous smile...
'"I met her while I was travailing around Asia and Romania...''Newt said and a wave of jealousy passed through the stomach of Tina, seeing how much he loved talking about the woman and no one he has heard him talk so passionately about something except his animals...
'ΒUT she is rates, menacing, downright evil, beautiful, passionate, fierce, dangerous and for that, all of you must be away from her or you will miss an important part of our anatomy' 'said Newt, and everyone they laughed at the words of the man as they thought he was over, but the laughter disappeared when they saw the seriousness in his eyes.
''Guys this is not a joke because I have seen her torture a man or to kill someone without hesitation and one time someone lost his eye because he gripped her ass.''He said and laughing as he remembers the trip he had been to Romania to visit her and he had been at a bar for drinks with the result Nemesis get involved in a fight and she kicked their ass.
As Newt continued to explain a woman came out of a desk hitting the door behind her with anger, everyone saw the woman approaching had to run back to their offices leaving Newt alone to deal with her wrath.
''Ara..''Newt trailed off when he saw her face.
''Why you looking at me like you want to rip my head off? 'Newt questioned warily.
''You better start talking or will kill you in your sleep' 'She said voice dripping with venom, stepping aside.
''People are dying!'
Ara looked at them one at a time. She smiled.
"That's what people do!"
Newt sighed and hit his head on the table as well he knows how stubborn is this woman and no one or everything it would not change her mind unless the woman has something to gain.
"You own me!"
Ara laughed at her friend's antics. "Really?"
Ara started to stand seeing the small meeting was about over. "Fuck you, i hate you, I am out of here!"
''Not a people person are you Ara? 'Asked Newt as Ara smiled to him with a real smile.
''Nonsense, I love people' 'the woman replied.
Newt looked around and then at the hunter as wanted to go along with his friend to win the time they had lost but he fell on the floor by saying.'' Aria what-''
The woman turned when she heard a noise from her back to see him falling on the floor.
''Ah gravity, thou art a heartless, bitch''
Ηer laughter echoed inside the building as she shook her hips to get out of the building.
