A/N: Trying to keep myslef busy. So hopefully I don't go off grid again. I really hope whoever reads this is enjoying it. I also got my very own laptop with no busted screen. I've been reading fanfics too much lately and been wanting to write more and more. But as I promised I will not give up on this! I intend to finish. Excuse me if some of what happens is a bit off, I do apologize for that. I feel some of what happened in the movies will probably not fit my story. I also know it was weird of me to obliviate everyone. But as i said before I have a plan. Trust in me! But on with the chapter! Please enjoy!

*Important Note: Time skip will be this chapter. I'm going to start in New York, like I said things will prob be different from the movie. But fear not I'm doing my best make this enjoyable!

Chapter 11

*In New York, Newt's Adult 25th year of life*

Newton Scamander walked down a side walk in New York. He was walking carefully with a case clutched in his hand. He kept his eyes open and sweeping the streets and sidewalks. Making sure that no one paid too close attention to him. Some muggles gave him odd looks but otherwise he went unnoticed. He put his case down for a minute to grab a piece of paper out of his coat. He opened it and read it over, making sure if someone from MACUSA stoped him he could show them he had permission to be in the states. He very faintly heard a click and immeadiatly glanced down. His case was cracked open, quickly he closed it and latched it. Making a mental note to get it fixed. His eyes swept the surrounding area to make sure nothing sneaked past, his eyes widened as he saw a small furry creature darting into a muggle bank. Cursing under his breath he took off for the bank, case in hand. Unnoticed to him the paper fell to the ground as he ran across the street. In the bank he looked around as he walked quickly and ran into a woman.

"Excuse me, miss. Terribly sorry," Newt said.

"Are you insane?" The woman asked and surpirsed Newt. "What was that creature you are running after? Do you know it is against the law to bring magical creatures in to nomaj businesses?"

Newt sighed, "Terribly sorry, it's a niffler. He tends to go for shiny things. I was trying to catch him so I did not bring him into this business."

The woman looked insulted for some reason, "What's in your case, Mr..."

"Scamander, Newt Scamander. And sorry but I don't have time I need to catch the niffler before he causes trouble."

There was a scream and Newt closed his eyes in annoyance. He took off running and found the niffler fighting some man over a shiny watch. Newt ran up to the pair and grabbed the niffler trying to pry it off the poor man.

"Sorry sir, he likes shiny things. Drop it! I'll give you a shiny new galleon if you let the mans watch go!" The niffler didn't seem to be enticed and kept his hold.

The man fumbled with his watch and got it off, "Here take it! What is that thing?"

Newt shoved the niffler in his case quickly and saw the woman was rounding the corner with a group of men, "Terribly sorry sir," Newt grabbed the mans arm and apparated away. The man and Newt both appeared in an alley, Newt grabbed his arm and motioned for him to follow. The man just nodded and followed quickly. They ran through a crowded street and didn't stop until they were pretty far from the bank.

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to drag you into this. I can make it so you don't remember this."

The man in question just looked at Newt, "No! Listen man, what was that thing? Why are we running? What is going on?"

Newt gave a sheepish smile, "That thing was called a niffler. It's a magical creature, them people I assume were Aurors coming for me. As for whats going on, I'm from England, I came here on a mission to release a magical creature called a Thunderbird in it's natural habitat of Arizona. I had to make a stop here and was traveling through. My niffler escaped and as I said before they do like shiny things so he went after your watch. My case here has a broken latch that will unlatch at times. I need to get it fixed. I know this is a lot to take in and I'm terribly sorry for that."

The man looked mildly surprised, "So your a wizard?" Newt looked a little surprised but nodded. "Oh, thank goodness. I'm sorry I'm not that surprised. I had a friend when I was a kid. She was a witch. She told me all kinds of things about the magical world. I don't think she was supposed to though, but I've never met anyone else besides her. I'm Jacob by the way."

Newt smiled, "Newt, so this doesn't scare you?"

Jacob smiled, "Maybe a little but in all honesty no harm."

"Do you want your watch back? I can make sure he gives it back he honestly knows better."

Jacob shook his head, "No, he can keep it. Are them people gonna catch up to us?"

Newt looked around and spotted the woman and ducked down quickly. Jacob looked over and seen who he seen.

"What do we do?"

"You don't have to involve yourself any further if you don't want to."

Jacob gave a small smile, "I'd like to help a cute stranger if possible."

Newt blushed quickly, "Are you sure?"

Jacob nodded, "Yes, I hope we can have coffee or something after this!"

Newt blushed even harder, "I need you to do me a huge favor then. Can I trust you with something I value more than anything in my life?" Jacob nodded. "Take this case do not open it or let the latch open. Go to that cafe across the street and I will meet you there in an hour or 2. If they catch me with this case I will be in more trouble than you can imagine."

Jacob smiled and took the case, "You have my word, Newt. I will wait for you!"

Jacob casually walked across the street and into the cafe. Newt walked quickly in the opposite direction of the lady. It was no use as she shouted at him to stop, he took off yet again. But this time he ran into 2 big guys with wands.

*In MACUSA*

Head Auror Percival Graves was in a meeting with Madame President. They were discussing something when a woman burst throught the door with a tall red haired man in tow.

"Miss Goldstein. what are you doing," Graves asked.

"I caught this man releasing a Niffler on a nomaj bank," she said proudly.

Newt rolled his eyes, "I did not release the niffler. I was going after him after he escaped. I tried telling you that before you brought those men with you!"

Graves looked the man up and down, "Who are you?" The man for some reason looked very familair to Graves but he couldn't quite place him.

"Newton Scamander, I'm a magizoologist. I'm writing a book about magical creatures and before you ask not how to exterminate them. It's how to care for them."

Graves's eyebrows went up in interest, "Miss Goldstein says you released a niffler. What happened from your perspective?"

"The niffler escaped and nifflers like shiny things. It's in their nature. So he went into the bank and I went after him. I was stopped by Miss Goldstein and accused of releasing him. I tried to explain I did not release him, and then we heard a shout. I ran to find my niffler fighting a man for his watch. The man just gave him the watch and i apparated away out of panic. I ran and put him in my temporary lugage."

"He also had a mysterious case with him, that suddenly disappeared."

"The man was he a wizard or a nomaj?"

Miss Goldstein looked surprised, "I don't know sir. I didn't see no man."

Graves turned his question to Newt, "He knew was a niffler was so I assumed he was a wizard."

Graves nodded, "What was in your case?"

"Clothes mostly. I had a crate that I had my niffler in. I was traveling through."

"You do know it's illegal to bring magical creatures overseas don't you?"

Newt nodded, and fumbled in his coat, "I do but my niffler is a bit attached to me so i normally take him with me.I had a note from an auror in england but I can't seem to find it."

Miss Goldstein scoffed, "He probably doesnt know any aurors."

Newt glared at the woman, "I'll have you know my older brother is an auror."

Graves eyes lit up, "Thesus Scamander is your brother? He's a good wizard from what I heard. I'm guessing he's the one who wrote the note."

Newt's mouth went dry, "Actually my sister in law did. Thesus didn't know she wrote it."

Graves gave a charming smile, "I'll floo call her and see if she will confirm if that is ok with you, Mr Scamander?" Newt nodded. "Great, if you will just wait in my office with Miss Goldstein I'll see if we can clear this up!"

*A few minutes later, Mr Graves office*

"Well, Mr Scamander your story checks out. I'm sorry for the inconvience. You are free to go, Miss Goldstein you and I need to have a talk!"

Newt walked out the doors and headed to the cafe where he found Jacob sitting in a corner. A smile tugged at his lips and he joined him.

*back in Mr Graves office*

"Miss Goldstein you know we do not accuse people of things with out proof. I understand you thought he was a problem but you should have approached this situation better."

"I'm sorry Director Graves, but I do not believe he is being completly honest."

"So are you calling one of London's Aurors a liar? Cause she vouched for him."

"No sir, I'm merely saying she could not be properly informed."

"Enough Miss Goldstien you are dismissed. You are on leave for the next week."

Miss Goldstien angrily walked out the door. Percival watched her leave, his mind on the magizoologist. He looked so familiar. He needed to do mor research on the boy and figure out exactly who he was. He didn't need him to put a hole in his plans. He also needed to track down the man who the boy spoke of. He wasn't certain the man was a wizard. He could tell the boy avoided saying whether he was or wasn't. Too many plans had been made for them to fail because of this.

A/N: Sorry I know it was rushed. I also know Newt wouldn't trust Jacob so quickly. I also plan on making Jacob and Newt a thing so if ya don't like that I'm sorry I just think they are cute. Also I know Jacob didn't know about magic but I couldn't think of anyother way to introduce him without him freaking out. Bear with me, Newt adnd Jacob have an instant connection which is why he trusted him so easily. He more than likely will not trust as easy the next person!
