QUEENIE

Tina and I aren’t talking.
NEWT
Why?

JACOB’S POV—pink and hazy, as though happily drunk.
QUEENIE

Oh well, you know, she found out about Jacob and I seeing each

other and she didn’t like it, ’cause of the “law.”
(miming quotation marks)
Not allowed to date No-Majs, not allowed to marry them. Blah,
blah, blah. Well, she was all in a tizzy anyway, ’cause of you.
NEWT

Me?
QUEENIE

Yeah, you, Newt. It was in Spellbound. Here—I brought it for you
— She points her wand at her suitcase. A celebrity magazine zooms
to her: Spellbound: Celebrity Secrets and Spell Tips of the Stars!
On the cover, an idealized NEWT and an improbably beaming
Niffler. BEAST TAMER NEWT TO WED!

QUEENIE opens the magazine. THESEUS, LETA, NEWT, and BUNTY stand
side by side at his book launch.
QUEENIE

(showing him)
“Newt Scamander with fiancée, Leta Lestrange; brother, Theseus;
and unknown woman.”
NEWT

No. Theseus is marrying Leta, not me.
QUEENIE

Oh! Oh dear . . . well, see, Teen read that, and she started dating
someone else. He’s an Auror. His name’s Achilles Tolliver.

A silence. Then NEWT starts to notice JACOB’S state: Eating sloppily, he hums
to himself, then tries to drink the salt. QUEENIE takes it and puts his glass in his
hand, trying to cover.
