Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Imagines

3. Newt's Demise

"Newt, I have to go and fight! My friends are out there already. If I can get there before Grindelwald arrives, we may stand a chance!" Tina cried, a desperate look on her face as she tried to free her arm from Newt's grasp.

Gellert Grindelwald has broken free and rallied up his fanatics, who'd attacked and caused a massacre at the Ministry of Magic. Their next target was MACUSA, and it'd already started. The rest of the aurors were able to hold them off, but once Grindelwald arrived there'd be no chance unless Tina, the head auror, was there to help.

"Please, let me go," she croaked out, her face full of sorrow and worry; fear was present as well, even though she tried to hide it. "I'll come back, I promise. I always come back."

"What if you don't?" Newt whispered, tightening his grip on Tina's arm. "What if... what if you die?"

Tina watched as both of their eyes filled with tears of fear. "Then you move on. You remember me in the greatest way you can: moving on, finding another wife, having children with that wife and loving her as much as you love me," she said shakily, her voice cracking slightly. "You have to let me go. Or I'll apostate away and take you with me, and that would be no good because then you'd be in trouble and I'd never be able to forgive myself if something happened to you."

"Tina, please. We've fought Grindelwald together before- and we beat him! Yes, we were with Theseus and Dumbledore, but many aurors who've been trained their whole lives must amount to at least the power of them!"

"What happens to your creatures if you die? What happens to me?"

Tina knew she'd struck a nerve, watching Newt falter a bit. "Then you do what you told me. You find another husband and love him, just as you have with me. And as for my creatures... Queenie can take care of them," he answered, giving her a pleading look. "Tina, you have to go- I know that. But you don't have to go alone."

Tina knew he'd never rest his case, and she took a shaky breath before disapparating with him.

The site in front of her and Newt was not a pretty one. Immediately, they both ducked behind a pillar, jinxes being thrown left and right. "Newt!" Tina cried out, twisting her head to face his. "We have to stick together, I don't know what's happening out there but it's not going as planned." Red, white, and even green flashes of light illuminated his face that had a very determined expression. She placed a pale hand on his cheek. "Newt... I love you."

Wand poised in her hand, Tina ran around the pillar and straight into the battle. "Tina!" Newt called out, taking out his own wand and following behind her. A wizard in a dark mask was already dueling her, white flashes being throw left and right. Tina dodged them expertly, ducking down when one got too close for comfort.

Newt joined in with another auror, taking on a woman. She had a nasty sneer on her face, as she'd overpowered the first auror. "Stupefy!" Newt cried, stunning the witch and throwing her back. The witch let out a sound of surprise and was stunned long enough for the young auror to take control again.

"I can handle this one, there's others coming!" The auror yelled at Newt, ready to fight the witch. She'd regained her strength, but a dazed look was present on her face.

Newt whipped around as he heard Tina let out a cry, and found she'd been knocked to the ground, wand out of reach.
