      sure, he had been getting used to spending time with the goldstein sisters. that didn’t mean that one look from tina goldstein wouldn’t be able to strike fear into his no-maj heart. she was protective of her sister, and for good measure. their relationship wasn’t exactly legal, and now he was being harassed because of it. 

      though he didn’t really mind. his sales had only increased since the second salemers started talking about the witch sympathizer selling magical pastries. apparently everyone wanted to see for themselves. 

      “i didn’t exactly do anything, did i? the second salemers have got it out for all of us, not just me. besides, macusa ain’t even paying attention to them anymore. are they?” he said. queenie had made it sound like the group wasn’t really a threat, and he just wanted to think positively. there was no need to worry for their safety just yet. 

[propertinas]

it wasn’t easy, was it? being sister to an optimist, when she was such a realist.  it had never been. it wasn’t easy to always be the one who said ‘no’ and ‘be careful’ and ‘stop’ and ‘you can’t’.  especially when all she wanted to say was ‘yes! go! you can!’  optimists had a knack for that.   for making it all seem so simple, so hopeful.

and of course she would fall for someone who was just like that too. and tina once again had to be the pill. she had to keep giving him that hexing look, because otherwise he might get too hopeful. and that’d only make everything worse,  if the world keep spinning as realistically as it did.    “  it’s not about us paying attention to them, mr. kowalski  ”

   “  it’s about them —  you,  paying attention to us. —  you. if this gets out of hand, it’ll be out of my hands. maybe all of macusa’s  ” ‘and i just got back my position as an auror’, she ached to add, but left it as a thought, itching at the edge of her tongue. because it was a selfish thought. ( when would she get to stop being the selfless one?  ).

’ Not quite the word I was looking for, but perhaps a - little more off the top. ’

oh. so that had been alittle too fancy for him, huh? usually that kind of comment would’ve caused herto shrink into her tiniest self, andwhisper some sort of apology. or stretch into her largest self, and give some sort of scowl, depending on how muchbetter or worse the corrector’svocabulary was.

 but truth be told, cultural differences were too amusing athing for her to do either of those things. instead she stayed the same, ifonly a little more glimmer-y, andalmost hiccupped a tiny smile.

     “  too spiffy?  ”

’ Well, some people use their imagination… ’

   “ alright  ” the arch of her eyebrow went down, and just as quickly a little curl in hermouth went up.  she knew better than totry and argue with queenie when they were silly-banteringfrom such different places. deep, deep in the ground and up, up in the clouds. and though she usually liked it when they met somewhere halfway, she could let herself float a little. 

   “  just don’t let thatimagination of yours run too wild, that’s all i’m saying. people aren’t alwayswhat we make them out to be. even you can’t be too sure  ”     — of course, not without hanging to a rope.

“By appealing to your common sense… If such a creature exists.”

breathe.in and out, one to ten. brits. don’t takethem personally, queenie had said. but tina wasn’t half as graceful when dealing with other people’s thoughts (especially when she got them socrudely and out loud) so she huffedinstead and barely noticed the instinctive (andoh so annoyingly motherly!) hand onher hip, taking it childishly andpersonally.     “  don’t think we tried that already, mr. scamander? we wouldn’t have called if the common sense alternatives had worked  ”

[propertinas]

“Excuse me? Who gave you permission to exist?!”

[propertinas]

“Pardon me for finding the glass half full.”

if looks could hex! she stopped on her trail just to cast it properly, a distressed, disturbed, dismayed, displeasedhex of a look.  no matter how much shebelieved that ignorance is innocence, she believed that you shouldn’t talkabout what you don’t understand just a little more firmly.     “  mr. kowalski  ”     ( sigh )

   “ no offense, but let us worry about how full or empty the glass is. just worry about keeping out of trouble until we sort this out  ” — or rather out of more trouble.

“You didn’t think I’d miss this, did you?”

her eyebrows went up and fell down just as quick,along the gulp that came after her sip. that was what she had been doing,quietly sipping the night away. notso much that she’d make a spectacle of herself (dane knows that was the lastthing she wanted), but just enoughso she could grin and bear it.

watch?that she could do. it was even interesting, once the longest hair of the dog started getting up everyone’s head. it washow she got to know them, really. other than the occasional ‘good morning’s and ‘sorry i bumped into you’s or ‘ineed information on this and that’s, this was all there was for her (and it wasn’t too bad). but talk? that she hadn’t beenexpecting.  let alone from mister percival graves himself, and even lessso such nonchalant talk. 

— how was sheeven supposed to know this was the sort of thing he wouldn’t want to miss? heck, she would’ve gladly missed it herself if queenie hadn’t been the one so keen and eager to put it together. still, it wasn’t every day that she got this much of an opportunity to make a good impression on him. better cease it and not ball it up. she smiled a flash of a smile, and went along as if this were just one of their many nonchalant talks  (not the first). 

   “wouldn’t know. i had to be talked into not missing it.”

❛   if you want me to actually listen to what you have to say, miss goldstein, i suggest wiping the mustard off your face first.  ❜

right. of course. it happens to her way too often for it not to happen right now, as she’s meeting with one of the ministry’s greatest. why not?  let her just… wipe it off with her sleeve  (because that’s much better. great first impression, tina). 

  “would you rather—go over the official reports? they’re not as detailed but they should answer any questions you have. there isn’t much about it other than what you might already know”

that being said, ♡ for a starter sometime in the week!
