The three hurry through the frost covered park, Evelyn still blushing from her encounter with Newt. They cross a bridge and are almost knocked over by an Ostrich running across it.

Evelyn looks at Newt with a puzzled look to which he grins mischievously.

"Put this on." Newt hands Jacob a brown protective head gear from out of his pocket.

"Why do I have to wear this?" Jacob asks worriedly as a loud rumble can be heard in the distance.

"Because your skull is susceptible to breakage under immense force." Newt says running ahead, an utterly terrified Jacob puts on the hat following Newt with Evelyn close behind.

They come to a halt at the now nearly empty zoo, the walls are demolished and bricks lay scattered across the floor.

Another loud roar echoes around the park and Newt brings out a body protector.

"Okay, if you just pop this on for me." And he fastens the breastplate over Jacob.

He then walks over to Evelyn, taking her hands in his and and gently caresses one of her hands with his thumb.

"I trust you can defend yourself and Mr Kowalski here if anything happens?" Newt says looking straight at her now, he releases her hands and gently traces the cut lightly with his finger.

Evelyn nods feeling quite flustered as she takes her wand out of her coat pocket.

"I sure can" she states waving her wand smiling at him nervously as she starts playing with the corner of her coat with her free hand.

With one last smile Newt walks back to Jacob who has a smirk upon his face. To which Evelyn looks down at her feet trying to control the sudden blush that she's been trying to avoid.

"Now there's absolutely nothing for you to worry about" Newt says fastening the breastplate again for good measure.

"Tell me, has anyone ever believed you when you say that?" Jacob replies his expression has gone back to terrified as he looks at Newt uncertainty comes across in his voice.

"My philosophy is that worrying means you suffer twice." Newt grins before taking off closer to the zoo his case tightly in his hand.

Jacob and Evelyn follow him over a mound of rubble until they stop at the entrance looking up at what is known as Erumpent.

The Erumpent is huge, with a large rhino like appearance and a massive horn coming from her forehead. She stands over a terrified hippopotamus who's being cornered.

"She's in season. She needs to mate" Newt states and Evelyn starts to blush again at the statement holding in her laugh as she grips on to her wand.

Newt begins to dab a spot of liquid from a tiny vial onto his wrists as he holds the lid between his teeth and spits it out onto the ground.

"Erumpent musk, she's mad for it." Newt says taking the lid out and handing the vile to Jacob.

He places his case down and opens it slowly near the Erumpent. What happens next both shocks and causes laughter to come from Evelyn.

Newt starts doing a series of well rehearsed grunts, wiggles and rolls as a mating ritual to gain the attention of the Erumpent.

Soon much to Newt'a delight the Erumpent turns her attention away from the Hippopotamus and looks at Newt, turning round crashing bits of brick off the walls as she does.

Newt rolls along the floor and the Erumpent copies moving closer and closer to Newts carefully placed case.

"Good girl, into the case."

However just as things seem to be going to plan, Jacob takes a sniff of the Erumpent musk he's holding and unfortunately Evelyn's to busy looking towards Newt and the Erumpent to notice a seal throwing a fish towards Jacob.

Jacob jolts and spills the liquid slightly as a gust of wind picks it up causing the Erumpent to take a terrifying deep breathe, getting up onto her feet once more, she looks straight at a terrified Jacob.

Jacob begins to run as the Erumpent charges though the zoo towards him crushing through brick on her way.

Evelyn is pushed out the way by Newt who has apparated to her and her wand slips from her hand at the sudden gesture.

Newt holds up his wand, but before he can call out a spell his wand is snatched by a monkey who runs off to a corner.

Evelyn grabs her wand again and starts running after Jacob, whilst Newt attempts to get his wand back.

The Erumpent digs her horn deep into the base of the tree, Jacob is clinging onto a branch desperately attempting to save himself.

The base feels up with a glowing liquid before exploding and crashing to the ground, Jacob falls and the Erumpent smiles happily watching.

Evelyn chases the the Erumpent onto a frozen lake as she slips hitting the ice hard. She pulls herself back up and carefully tries her best to get to her wand which slid across the lake when she fell.

The Erumpent is skidding across towards Jacob, both of them not standing up as Jacob swallows in terror trying his best to back away.

Evelyn collapses again next to her wand picking it up again and deciding she won't move just yet.

Soon enough Newt comes skidding down on to ice. Spinning rather gracefully he opens the case in his arms.

The Erumpent just about licks Jacob'a face much to his disgust before she's sucked into the case.

Evelyn watches smiling at the sight.

"Good show, Mr Kowalski." Newts says gasping for air.

"Call me Jacob" Jacob says holding out his hand for Newt to shake.

To which he shakes back.

"Hold my case, one second." Newt says handing a relieved Jacob the case as Newt slides across clumsily towards Evelyn.

She looks up at him as holds out his hand.

"You know one day, I'm going to be the one helping you up." Evelyn says jokingly covering up her embarrassment.

"I'll hold you to that." Newt replies as she takes a hold of his warm hand in an attempt to get up.

However, Newt's legs give way and he lands on top of Evelyn with a thud.

At first they both look shocked but then burst out into fits of laughter.

"I'm so sorry." Newt exclaims the laughter has now faded as he props himself up slightly still hovering over Evelyn.

He shyly looks down at her lips as she lets her eyes flicker back and forth from his own.

Newt starts to lean his warm breathe causing her lips to tingle slightly, He's getting closer to closing the gap between them..

They're interrupted by a awkward cough from Jacob who is standing there looking at them.

Newt leans up as he diverts his eyes away nervously. He stands up clumsily looking rather flustered.

Smiling towards Evelyn who still lays on the frozen lake looking up at him he says "Jacob if you wouldn't mind we need to help Evelyn here up" he says in a joking tone.

Jacob stumbles across putting the case down as he holds onto Newts shoulder for support.

Once Evelyn's up they make their way over to a bridge, carefully walking under it.. Newt opens the case still being extremely cautious of the ice.

"Well two down, one to go" Newt states happily.

"Hop in then" he says to Jacob who gets into the suitcase.

Newt turns round to look at Evelyn and she slides carefully across to him, he puts his arms round her waist to steady her as she steps into the case.

Newt sighs pleasantly before he to steps in closing the lid and leaving just the case left on the frozen lake.
