Her smile was the real magic to him.
Aside from his beloved magical creatures, Newt Scamander had never found anyone who brought him as much joy as Davina Dumbledore.
The two had first met during their first year at Hogwarts. As fellow Hufflepuffs...
Jacob nodded quickly, eager for the lead. "If you wouldn't mind. That would be..."
Newt's social anxiety kicked in, and he struggled to find the words.
"That would be lovely," Jacob finished for him, giving Newt a reassuring glance.
Yusuf nodded, taking a final look at them before turning on his heel. "Sure," he muttered, gesturing for them to follow as he began walking in the direction he had come from.

None of the men noticed the short brunette across the street, her sharp green eyes scanning the busy streets of New York, searching for her friend, Tina.
She had lost sight of the magical creature the night before, in the shadows of dark alleyways, but now her focus shifted. Her gaze landed on the three men walking down the sidewalk, headed in the opposite direction.
From behind, she could only see their backs, but there was no mistaking the worn blue coat of the tall, familiar figure. If that wasn't enough, the man even carried a brown leather case that was all too recognizable.
"Newt..." Davina whispered to herself, her heart skipping a beat as she froze in place, watching the trio ahead of her.
The man walking next to Newt was a bit shorter, his dark brown hair slightly tousled, and his posture stockier than the others. The familiar sight of Jacob brought her breath to a halt.
"You've got to be kidding me..." Davina muttered under her breath, her eyes widening as the realization hit. Jacob was walking beside Newt, and she couldn't believe it.
Without hesitation, Davina darted through the crowd, weaving between pedestrians to cross the street. Her steps quickened, but she kept her distance, careful not to alert them to her presence.
She followed them, moving swiftly and silently through the sea of people, staying far enough behind to remain unnoticed.
