Newtina Oneshots

The Rest of My Life

(Spoilers for the end of The Secrets of Dumbledore if you haven't seen it. This is my take on one of the ways the ending should have gone.)

Queenie had never seen her sister so happy.

After she and Jacob had said their vows, it had been time for toasts and the rest of the celebration. Newt and Tina had stayed by each other's side like magnets. It's like there was a driving force in the universe that couldn't bear to have them separated from one another.

Queenie didn't want to intrude on their thoughts too much, but she could still feel the happiness radiating from both of them like the sun's heat; strong and warm with emotion. Newt and Tina weren't official yet. They both knew the other liked them, but had been dancing around each other for so long it was getting agonizing to watch. Queenie wished she could just lock them in a closet together until they confessed their feelings.

"They seem happy." Jacob sidled in next to her and kissed her on the cheek, sliding his arm around her waist. He was referring to where Newt and Tina were sitting on a cushioned bench near the door. Tina was smiling, talking animatedly about something that Queenie knew was her job, and Newt, watching her as if she were a sun that hasn't risen in years. Their eyes were soft and their cheeks slightly pink, with small smiles that always appeared when they were near each other like this.

"Yes," said Queenie, "They sure do."

Queenie then looked over to where Tina said something to Newt and rested her hand on his knee, before standing up and walking over to Lally. Newt watched her go like a lovesick puppy. Queenie giggled and that's when Newt turned his head to realize he had been caught and almost immediately looked away, red faced.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The night went on when Queenie remembered something.

"Oh! The bouquet!"

Everyone swiveled their head to look at Queenie, and Lally jumped up from where she had been sitting with Bunty. "Of course, every good wedding needs a bouquet toss!"

Queenie clapped her hands together and giggled, "Okay! Jacob sweetie, can you go grab the bouquet for us? And I'm going to need all the women to get in a line next to one another behind me."

Everyone was standing now, even Newt and Theseus who had moved to the corner, amused but curious. Tina moved with Lally and Bunty to the open space in the center of the bakery, with Queenie near the door and a good three meters between them.

Lally and Tina both had smiles on their faces and snuck a glance at one another before looking away. Lally smirked knowingly while Tina tried not to smile as she stared into the ground. Bunty on the other hand looked a bit too excited, already eyeing the bouquet of white roses in Queenie's hands.

"You girls ready? Actually wait, move around and switch places so I don't know who is standing where." Queenie laughed with her back facing the three of them, "and don't be screaming at me with your mind for me to throw it to you. You know I can block you out." she added.

The three girls chuckled behind her and Bunty looked slightly guilty.

After Tina, Lally, and Bunty had shuffled around their spots, everyone quieted down. Newt's gaze fixed on Tina from beneath his fringe.

Queenie threw the bouquet back.

Everyone's eyes followed it flying through the air like hawks.

Up until it landed almost perfectly into Tina's arms.
