Hey guys third real chapter, comment if you're enjoying it so far! If you're actually reading this I'd like to take a poll, in the Grimes of Grindelwald who do you think Leta said "I love you to? Newt or Theseus? I'll start the comment section off with what I think!

As Linda walks through the streets to Newt's apartment, her eyes catch a black glove that is waving at her. She begins to walk closer to it in-order to inspect it."That sly old man..." she says before grabbing onto the glove and is whisked away.
She appears on a roof top over looking the city, presumably so no one would spot Dumbledore. The view is absolutely breathtaking, and despite the fact that Linda isn't the biggest fan of heights, she still takes a moment to take in the scenery "Professor," she greets the man. "Do you bring all of your old students to rooftops when you want to speak with them?"
"Only my favourites," he says jokingly.
"I didn't expect to hear from you so soon," inquires Linda.
"Yes, well, I was in town so I figured I would deliver the news myself," replies a cheery Dumbledore. As always there is an air of mystery around him that Linda, and everyone else for that matter, finds so intriguing. "I found the documents you were looking for. The cure was being researched by a wizard named Henri Jarvis, supposedly he went into hiding but figured out the cure. Right now his information is being held within the vaults of the French ministry. But I've managed to get you the clearance to access the vault."
Linda looks at the documents and the clearance pass. She is overwhelmed with emotions and begins to tear up, "Oh Dumbledore this is ...wonderful. I was beginning to think—"
"Have no worries little one. All the information you need should be found in there. Once you get back, if there's anything left to solve I'll make sure to bring it to the best of the best," replies Dumbledore. While he did make a joke before, he couldn't deny that Linda is one of his favourite students— he has a problem with favouritism— and an overall good soul. It would be a shame to lose someone like that.
"Thank you so much Professor," says Linda. "I'm sure I can convince the ministry to let me go to Paris."
"I'll keep an eye out for your owl," he replies, eyes gleaming.
Linda turns around and disapparates off of the roof. She desperately wants to believe what Dumbledore has told her. And in some part of her she does, she holds the hope. But that doesn't mean that she's not still preparing for the worst case scenario. But she hopes.
--------------"Newt! I'm here!" says Linda as she enters Newt's house. He always leaves the door unlocked. As she enters she notices two unfamiliar people standing there along with Newt: a woman dress rather fashionably and in pink, and a man in a suit who looks... dazed.
"Um hello?" she says in confusion.
The man begins to point excitedly at Linda, "Oh look it's the girl from your trunk! Trunk girl!"
Linda looks to Newt for clarification. "There may or may not be a picture of you from the paper pinned in my trunk," confesses Newt, blushing.
The woman steps in to ease the awkwardness, "My name is Queenie and this is Jacob!" she extends her hand to shake which Linda takes. "Newt has told us all about you and how you gave him his trunk, I think it was real sweet of ya to do that. He brings that thing with him everywhere!"
"Oh, you're Tina's sister!" says Linda placing the name to a face.
"Where is Tina by the way?" asks Newt a little too eagerly.
"Oh sweetie, she's not here. She found out Jacob and I were seeing each other and she didn't like it because it's against the 'law'," says Queenie, adding 'law' in air quotes. " Not allowed to date No-Majs, not allowed to marry them blah, blah, blah. She was already in a tizzy anyways because of you," she states.
