The Visit; A Newtina Fanfic

The Battle

The four appeared a bit far from the Scamander home. They could see Grindewald's followers circling the house. Suddenly, Tina saw Newt, and it broke her heart. Newt was being dragged, his overcoat and waistcoat gone, left only with his white shirt. He was covered in several ugly cuts that could have only come from a whip. She choked as the men dragged him into the house.

Tina looked around and saw that Caoimhe was gone. She looked up. Caoimhe was climbing up a tree swiftly, not making a sound. Wand clenched in between her teeth, she reached the top of the tree, crouching down to allow the leaves to conceal her almost entirely. Mercy Lewis, this girl was talented! "I'll distract them. You guys go in and get my family," Caoimhe whispered. She leapt from her tree and landed on another, still as silent as before. Caoimhe leapt swiftly from one tree to another until she was hovering above the largest group of Grindewald's followers. Then she shouted, "Why hello down there!"

The followers crowded around the tree. "How are things?" Caoimhe asked in a cheerful voice, but she was tense, ready to fire a spell. "Foolish girl!" one hissed. A spell was fired. Caoimhe dodged it, but it nicked her ear, causing blood to stream down the side of her face. More spells were fired up at her, but Caoimhe dodged each one of them. One follower attempted to climb up there to get her, but the girl screamed, "Petrificus Totalus!" The man went stiff and fell. Shouts of anger went up at Caoimhe. Tina tried to run inside the house, but Grindewald was blocking her path. "What do we have here?" Grindewald drawled, a smile playing at his lips. Tina fired a spell, but it was deflected easily. Suddenly, Caoimhe dropped down onto Grindewald. She was on his back, clawing at his eyes, kicking every part of him she could land her foot on. Grindewald roared, sending Caoimhe flying until she hit a tree with a sickening thud. The girl stood back up and began to scramble up another tree. Tina ran inside.

"Newt!" Tina found Newt slumped over near a wall, shackled by his wrists. He barely had the strength to look up. He smiled weakly when he saw her, his eyes filled with joy. She cupped his face, and he instantly nuzzled into her touch. She kissed him gently before attempting to unlock the shackles. She finally did, and Newt fell into her arms, wrists bleeding. Mr. and Mrs. Scamander ran up to Newt, stroking his hair. Theseus and Alice ran out to help Caoimhe, who was being strangled by Grindewald. They took down Grindewald together, and Tina couldn't help but notice the bruises forming around Caoimhe's neck. They all finally fought off Grindewald and his followers, and Newt was still unconscious, his head resting on Tina's shoulder.
