Following the words of Gnarlak the Bitch Goblin, as Tegwen affectionately referred to him as in her head, the group found themselves inside the Macy's Department store in search of Newt's demiguise. 

"So, how do we spot something that's invisible?"  Tegwen asked.

"How?" Jacob asked turning to her, waiting for the punchline.

"Uh, that wasn't a joke, I was seriously questioning it myself," She told him causing Jacob to turn red in the face.

"Oh."

"Although, I bet you could come up with a joke for it," Tegwen encouraged. "I'm not that funny, people laugh at me but it's never because I've told a joke. Wow, I can't believe I just said that out loud. I'm going to be quiet now."

She clapped her hand over her face and stood quietly as Newt looked around.

"You are funny, Twiggy, you ought to give yourself more credit," Newt said, not looking in her direction.

"What?" She glanced over in his direction.

"I remember a time where you made Professor Dumbledore choke on a lemon drop," Newt told her. "So I do believe you're funny."

"You remember that?"

"Of course I do," He said. "Why wouldn't I remember something like that? It's not every day that your Transfiguration professor chokes in the middle of class."

Tegwen looked back at Queenie and Jacob, who were smiling in the woman's direction with encouraging looks on their faces. She did her best to conceal her blush as she remembered the embarrassing moment that had caused her professor along with her peers to giggle madly in class. They had been working to turn a teapot into a tortoise, and she thought she was doing quite well until her tortoise opened it's mouth and let out a high-pitch whistle into the air along with plenty of steam. 

She was sure she was turning redder than she had during the actual lesson of when it had occurred.

"That wasn't exactly on...never mind," Tegwen mumbled as Newt had spotted his little friend.

"Its sight operates on probability, so it can forsee the most likely immediate future," he explained to everyone.

"Lucky bastard," Tegwen said to herself. 'I would kill for that ability. It would probably save me from falling so much."

"So what's it doing now?" Tina asked curiously.

"It's babysitting," Newt replied casually.

"At an hourly or flat rate?" Tegwen questioned. 

The Demiguise had unloaded a pile of sweets before her, as Newt came up behind him slow and quiet. The man carefully set his suitcase down before everyone heard shifting in the rafters above. Looking up, Tegwen was surprised to see an Occamy, but it was much different from the ones that were nesting in Newt's case. The one before them was massive.

"It was babysitting that?" Tina called out.

Newt was quiet and still as the demiguise continued to offer treats. The sound of Tegwen's stomach growled, echoing in the department store, causing the demiguise to turn to her and offer the sweet.

"No, thank you," she mouthed in the direction of the creature.

"Occamies are choranaptyxic," Newt said.

"Try saying that ten times fast," Tegwen whispered to Jacob.

"I don't think I could even say it once," The man admitted to her.

"So they grow to fill available space," Newt continued.

Jacob stared down at his stomach. "Maybe the occamies and I have more in common than I thought."

No one noted the demiguise having a premonition as it's eyes turned a bright blue as they were all too focused on the Occamy before them. However, as the creature's eyes faded back to brown, all hell was about to break loose.

Queenie took a step forward, managing to kick a Christmas ornament that made a jingling noise. The calm and serene moment was gone as the Occamy reared up with a loud screech. Newt attempted to calm the creature but it was far too late as it began to thrash around. The demiguise took off to get to safety, running right into Jacob's arms.

It swooped down and scooped Newt up like a toy throwing him on it's back and moving about, destroying the inside of the store.

"Quick, do you have an insect on you?!" He shouted to Tegwen. She looked up at him with a bizarre look.

"No, I'm afraid I left the insects in my other coat!" She shouted back at him as a Christmas display nearly crashed on her, she managed to slide across the floor to escape injury.

"Right,  we need an insect, any kind of insect!" Newt called out. "And a teapot. Find a teapot!"

"I swear if this is a reference to what happened in class that day-" Unable to see out of the corner of her eye, Tegwen was unable to prepare herself for the incoming hit she was about to receive. She took a hard swipe of the Occamy's tail launching her back into a display and having plenty of shelving come down on her. 

"I'm so done with today and tomorrow...and the day after that."

Luckily, Jacob and the demiguise were able to locate a cockroach running through the store  while Tina located a teapot. Queenie had been knocked back as well but made her way over to Tegwen.

"Are you alright?" Queenie said, helping lift the shelving off the other woman.

"I've never been better," Tegwen grunted as she attempted to push herself up, but a sharp pain raced through her arm, causing it to collapse under the little weight she placed on it. She hit the floor and let out a yelp. "Nope, I lied, I lied! I'm in pain! I think my arm is broken."

Queenie covered her head with a colander as she remained by Tegwen's side, going for her wand to help free the woman completely.

Suddenly, Tina heroically caught the cockroach in the teapot as the Occamy headed straight for the insect, diving down head first. She braced herself, covering her head in anticipation of the impact, however, it never came as the Occamy slid right into the teapot like a piece of string. Newt jumped forward and placed the lid over it.

The group seemed to all sigh in relief before Tina asked the important question.

"Was that everything that came out of the case?"

"That's everything, and that's the truth."

Helped up to her feet by Queenie, Tegwen ignored the shooting pain in her arm as they were to travel back inside Newt's case to return the creatures to their habitats.

"Here let me see if I can help you, I think it just might be a sprain," Queenie said examining Tegwen's arm.

Tegwen sat still as Queenie pulled out her wand and took her arm gently in her free hand.

"I like this side of you, Tegwen," Queenie told her, trying to take the pain off the woman's mind.

"What? What do you mean?" Tegwen questioned. "What side?"

"You know, this part of you...I've never heard you talk this much and I've known you for years, Tegwen," Queenie said with a smile. "I knew you had a voice and a story to tell, I'm glad I get to finally hear it more. There you go, honey."

Tegwen moved her arm about to feel that it had healed nicely in a few moments, relieving her of the pain.

"Th-thank you," Tegwen whispered as Queenie walked off leaving her to sit alone. She thought to herself for a few minutes, realizing that most of her adulthood she spent dwelling on her past when she could have been moving on with her life, making herself happy. She had blamed Newt for taking the fall for his friend for many years, but it did nothing for her. It certainly didn't help her heal, it only left her full of anger and hurt.

He seemed sorry of his actions as well, not once bringing up Leta, much to her relief. Plus, after all the adventures in the past two days, she really couldn't bring herself to stay mad at him anymore. Sure, the man had disrupted her life nearly getting her killed, but what she witnessed with him interacting with his creatures was that Newt was just an intensely caring individual.

She saw the way the creatures looked to him, they trusted him and she was certain some of them even loved him. He took care of them, kept them safe and went to the ends of the earth to make sure they were happy.

How was she supposed to stay mad at that amount of dedication?

It wasn't doing her any good anyways.

It was time to make amends.

Pushing herself up, she left to find Newt just to say she was sorry for her hostile attitude since his arrival and wondered if they could just start over again. She heard Queenie's voice along with Newt's and headed in the direction of the small shed he had.

She also found Jacob and Tina inside the shed along with the two as Queenie and Newt seemed to be having an argument over Ilvermorny and Hogwarts.

"I think you'll find the best wizarding school in the world is Hogwarts!" Newt said.

"Hogwash!" Queenie countered. Newt turned to Tegwen waiting for the woman to defend her school's name, but she didn't. Her gaze was set on something else, bringing her fists to clench tightly by her side.

Queenie, Tina, and Jacob were confused by the silence until they saw Tegwen's eyes locked on the photograph in the shed.

Newt immediately stood up to his feet and took one steps towards the woman, before she spun around to face him.

Already in a matter of seconds, tears streamed down Tegwen's face as she had been forced to see the face of the girl that had caused her so much pain in her life.

"You still have a picture of her?" She asked, her voice dripping venom with every word that pertained to Leta Lestrange.

"Twiggy-"

"Don't call me that!" She snapped at him, she was in no mood for nicknames. " You still have her bloody picture?! After all she did...you still don't get it, do you? You were kicked out of school because of her! You took the blame for what she caused and yet she came nowhere near to defending you. Even I went to Professor Dippet to tell him that you weren't responsible, but she didn't. She allowed you to take the blame! Yet here you have her picture-"

"She was my friend and I took the blame-" Newt tried to reason with her, but his mind was coming up blank with reasons to defend his actions.

The group looked on feeling the wave of anger coming off of Tegwen.

"After you were expelled, she made it a mission to make my life miserable! She said it was my fault that you were gone, even though I didn't do anything!  She spread rumours about me and when I tried to go to the adults, they wouldn't listen to anything I had to say," she cried. "And Leta had no problem with it. After a while, it was like I became a disease within the castle walls."

"I'm so sorry," Newt told her softly. 

"No, you're not, because if you were, you wouldn't have this picture! You would realize what she did was wrong. That she wronged you nearly more than she wronged me. But maybe you're just as bad as her, foolish me!"

"No, I'm not, I didn't want you to-" Newt wasn't able to get another word out as Tegwen smacked the frame down angrily of her former classmate.

"To hell with you, Newt Scamander! I should have known that the moment I saw you again that it would all be trouble from there on out. I knew it would all blow up in my face, just as it did before, but I stupidly went along with it. But you know what, you keep that stupid photograph of her, and when you find yourself in trouble again, just think about who comes to save you, because it certainly won't be her!"

Tegwen stormed out of the shed, not giving Newt any time to say anything to defend himself. She didn't want to hear it, she didn't care what he had to say to defend Leta's name. It didn't matter because she would never bring herself to forgive the woman. Leta was deranged, twisted and vile being, and how someone like Newt became so wrapped up with her, she never understood, even in their school years.

Just seeing Leta's photo, smirking in her direction had brought back every unpleasant memory from her last years in Hogwarts. Finding herself more than alone, no one smiling or greeting her as if she were beneath them. She remembered the nasty and untrue things that the students in her year said, just to break her spirit.

It had worked.

When Tegwen graduated from Hogwarts, she was ready to leave and never set eyes on the castle again. She couldn't even bring herself to work for the British Ministry of Magic all because she knew she would have to see familiar faces from school.  Her job allowed her to hide away, surrounded by plants because they never had anything hurtful to say to her. 

She had made her way to the steps, but couldn't bring herself to climb them and leave the case, as she collapsed in tears. She was overwhelmed with everything that she had been keeping inside , lying to herself that everything was okay when it truly wasn't.
