These Happy, Magical Years; A Newtina Fanfic

The Proposal

"So, this potion can cure all minor injuries?" Credence asked. Caoimhe nodded, rubbing a bit of the potion on some of his scars, which began to fade. "Your mother beat you horribly," Caoimhe said softly. "Yeah." Credence bit his lip to prevent the tears from streaming down his face. Caoimhe put down the potion before wrapping her arms around him, allowing him to bury his face into her sweet-smelling hair, sobbing until there was nothing left.

"I love it so much in your case," Tina said. Newt nodded, chewing his lower lip so much that she was beginning to wonder why it wasn't bleeding. "Newt, is everything okay?" Tina asked. He jerked his head. "Um, y-yes. I-I'm p-perfectly f-fine," he stuttered. "Do you need to sit down?" she asked, leading him to his shed. "N-no, I-I w-want t-to k-keep g-going," Newt said, but he sat down anyways. He was shaking, his breathing rapid. "Tina, can we... talk?" Tina nodded, rubbing his knuckles gently.

"Tina, do you remember when we met?" he asked. "Yes. You let out that dang niffler at a bank-" "I didn't let him out he escaped!" Newt said, mock horror across his face. "I remember it as I want to, Mr. Scamander! Anyway, I arrested you and brought you to my apartment. Why are you asking?" Tina cocked her head at Newt. He shuddered before giving a small laugh. "I thought that you were the most annoying person I had ever met. Now, I look at you, and I see the only girl who will ever be just right for me." He reached into his pocket, getting down on one knee in front of her. "If I remember correctly, I promised you a reward for the thirteen reasons." He pulled out a small black box, and Tina's heart began to pound. He opened it slowly, and there was a ring. The ring had a gold band that was shaped like a vine with a diamond in the center. The diamond had a small sapphire on both sides. "Tina, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife, and marrying me?" Tina could hardly find any words to describe the joy that filled every nerve of her body. She cupped his face and kissed him, happy tears streaming down her face. "Tina, I'm sorry. Have I hurt you?" Newt looked confused at her tears. "Newt, you're a doofus! I've been waiting for this moment ever since we started courting! Of course I want to marry you!" Newt smiled as he slid the ring on her finger. "The ring was my mothers. She wanted you to have it," Newt said. Tina laughed harder as she collapsed into his arms, happy tears still streaming down her face.
