《Desire [Newt Scamander]》Rooftop
Advertisement
The five are on top of a rooftop that overlooks the city, showing off buildings and lights that go so far they become small specs.
In the middle of the roof is a small wooden shed that once housed pigeons.
Queenie and Jacob are inside the shed making small talk about the pigeon coop.
Newt has carefully placed Evelyn onto her feet, her foot feeling much better now bandaged up.
She has new shoes on, created by magic of course due to one of her old shoes being burnt through.
"You're lucky your shoe was there, believe me it would have been even worse on your foot now if it hadn't." Tina says standing beside her overlooking the city.
Newt doesn't let go of her waist just as precaution as he too looks out, Pickett sitting on his shoulder.
They stare in silence for quite some time, only the distant voices of Queenie and Jacob can be heard.
"I like the night." Evelyn breaks the silence first.
"Why? I think it's rather lonely and scary." Tina replies not moving her gaze from the city.
"It is lonely, but that why I like it. It's the one time I feel I fit in." Evelyn says giving a timid smile towards Tina.
"It's weird being in a new place, I still feel like I don't belong." Evelyn softly adds.
"Why don't you return to England?" Newt questions and if Evelyn hadn't been staring into the city lights, she would have noticed the hopefulness on Newts face.
"My family- I can't." Evelyn replies hoping he doesn't question anymore, she doesn't want to have a conversation about them again
Newt looks down at his feet sadly, he takes a deep breathe and looks up.
"Graves always insisted the disturbances were caused by a beast." Tina says changing the topic as she feels the tension rising.

"We need to a catch all your creatures, so that he can't keep using them as an excuse." Tina continues her mind trying to form a plan in her head.
"There's only one missing. Dougal my Demiguise." Newt nervously looks at the two girls.
"Slight problem is that...um, he's invisible." Newt continues smiling sheepishly at them.
"Invisible??" Tina and Evelyn say at the same time looking at each other in disbelief.
"Yes most of the time- he...does sometimes change..." Newt replies, stuttering slightly in embarrassment at how ridiculous it's going to be to find Dougal.
"How do you catch-" Evelyn begins to say but is interrupted by Newt.
"With immense difficulty." Newt says a smile on his face, he loves a challenge especially if it evolves his creatures.
Newt awkwardly removes his hand from Evelyn's waist, suddenly aware of it as he shyly looks at her.
They stare at each other for quite some time, almost forgetting Tina is even there.
"Gnarlak!" Tina suddenly says causing the two to jump and break their gaze.
"Excuse me?" Newt asks confused.
"Gnarlak, he was an informant of mine when I was an Auror! He use to trade in magical creatures on the side!" Tina exclaims rather excitedly looking at the two.
"He wouldn't happen to have an interest in paw prints, would he?" Newt questions hopefully.
"He's interested in anything he can sell! I'll go tell Queenie and Jacob what we're doing." Tina says and heads of towards the shed, leaving Newt and Evelyn at the edge of the rooftop.
Newt moves slightly closer to Evelyn, as she smiles slightly feeling the warmth radiating off him.
"Is your foot feeling better?" He questions looking towards her.
"Yes, well I think so I can't really feel it at the moment." Evelyn replies nervously playing with a loose string coming from the bottom of her top.

"I'm sorry for uh-" Newt begins to say before stopping nervously rubbing his neck.
"For what?"
"Well um- you know uh- kissing you before we in separated. I'm not really sure what got into me." Newt says nervously knowing fully well why he did it.
Evelyn feels her heart pang slightly, assuming sorry means he regrets doing it.
"Oh it's okay. I -well- uh I didn't mind." Evelyn replies nervously getting quieter as she speaks.
She looks down at her feet still close to Newt.
He puts his hand on her chin and lifts her head slightly up towards him, as he looks down at her.
"You're different. I can tell you understand me." Newt says softly his mouth lifting slightly at the corner.
"I like to see through what others think are flaws. I think your love for beasts is beautiful, I don't think I've ever met anyone so protective and caring of them." Evelyn replies softly looking back at him.
A sudden surge of confidence causes her to lace her hand with his, smiling at the warmth it brings.
Newt has a slight blush forming on his cheeks as he smiles wider looking up and out at the city once more.

The Defective Hermit
Vincent Standish had faced a lot of disappointments during the last five years. But things were finally starting to look up for him and in a big way too. While working the late shift at his second part time job, as a cashier in a gas station, on a whim he bought a lottery ticket which had a jackpot that had grown extremely large. Three days later he was astonished to find that he was one of three lottery winners. With that money he was able to retire, when he had been afraid that he would be forced work until the day that he died, or worse yet living in a cardboard box if he lost his two paltry paying jobs. Vincent soon found forty acres of land and quickly had his simple and robust dream home constructed. Disappointed in people, it was his avowed goal to be a hermit and shun the world. Too bad for his dreams that only a year after winning the lottery, all of humanity started seeing colored text messages before their very eyes, messages that warned of dire things to come.

The carnomancer
Jackson was but a normal american just looking to get by in life. unfortunately for him life had other plans as a terrorist bombing took place in the air port in london where he was getting off at. The resulting explosion killed him instantly, and now he has been reincarnated into the world of Rokna.In this new world of magic, monsters, and conflict join him under his new identity Adimir freelancer the adventurer half-elf as he seeks a way to live out an exciting life of researching new and creative ways of combining magic and science. But with a tyrannical empire beginning to prepare for a bloody war the signs of turmoil begin to loom on the horizon. Adimir will face numerous challenges. Both challenges to those native to this world, and against other people have come from earth. Author's comment: I'll be uprfont with you on the entire war thing that the description hints at. Yes it will eventually happen, and many of the strange and out of place things in the beginning will tie into that. Not that it will be explained until much later in the novel. In fact the first 100 or 200 chapters will be spent on the main character growing stronger as an adventurer before the entire war even begins to start rearing its ugly head. So for those eager for the war to kick off sorry, but there won't be a big explosive war so early. At least not with the empire (although if you read carefully you may be able to pick up signs of how close the war is with what happens in the story). But the wait (I hope) will be worth it as it will be diving into some of the stuff a otherworlder in a significant position of power could do with the right knowledge. With that little warning over with I hope you enjoy this novel of mine. Its my first actual attempt at writing a story for people to read so please keep that in mind. If you have any criticism please tell me. I'd love to read them and will be using them to help me in improving my writing quality as time goes on. Experience is the best teacher after all.
