You need a Giver

Chapter 17

Cars flew by as Grindelwald made his way to his destination. Harold's apartment was the last known place Newt Scamander was sighted, he was so close... Grindelwald opened the door, but it was damp and dark. He made his way in confused, "I've been tricked!" he thought looking around in anger. Suddenly he noticed a piece of parchment fluttering on the table. Grindelwald walked over and read the note,

Dear Harold,

Thank you for letting us stay at your house, but mother would prefer if we came to stay at the family house instead. Sorry for the trouble,

Your good friend,

Newt

Grindelwald smiled mischievously, he knew where his prey was. He sauntered out of the apartment crumpling the note and dropping it on the floor.

It was a beautiful day, the whole family decided to celebrate the good weather with a picnic in the backyard. Jacob made his Niffler pastries and Hazel made her famous Scamander sandwiches, later they traded recipes. Newt and Theseus tried to put up the umbrella but found that one of the shiny pieces had been stolen by Newt's Niffler. The next ten minutes were spent by Newt chasing down his Niffler around the backyard and Theseus non stop laughing at the sight. Tina and Queenie put out the picnic blanket and set out the cutlery and plates. The group settled down for a nice picnic lunch,

"Pass the Niffler pastries Queenie,"

"Wait-Niffler?!

"Oh don't worry honey they're not real Nifflers."

"No not that the little bugger got into mum's famous Scamander sandwiches."

"Newton Scamander, get that pesky creature back in your case!"

"Sorry mum."

"It's alright dear, let's just settle down and enjoy this lovely spread."

"These are fantastic sandwiches Hazel!"

"Why thank you Jacob dear! I must admit your Niffler pastries are just delicious!"

"Teenie could you hold Jamie for a sec, I need to get out his baby food."

"Sure Queenie."

"Hey Newt, one day that could be Tina holding your baby!"

Newt elbows Theseus in the stomach

"Ooof!"

"Theseus dear, are you alright?"

"Just.. fine.."

After lunch the family spent the rest of the evening relaxing and having fun outside. Tina was exhausted from beating Newt and Theseus in a game of Football (Soccer)

"I still can't believe this was your first time playing, and you still beat us!" Theseus complained in exasperation,

"I learn quickly." Tina said with a smug smile on her face.

"Who wants to play frisbee?!!" Hazel shouted from the field holding up a flat blue flying plastic disk. Everyone raced to where Hazel was except for Newt and Tina, they watched as their family tossed the frisbee around and laughed when Jacob tried to catch it mid air but ended up tripping on a rock and falling flat on his face.

Tina's head was resting on Newt's shoulder peacefully, "Your family is amazing Newt." She said smiling at him, Newt nodded "I agree and everyone seems to be getting along splendidly." He then turned to gaze down at her face staring into her warm chocolate brown eyes which glistened like stars when she was happy. Newt whispered softly,
