Battle Scars: A Newtina Fan Fiction

Chapter 7: Conversation

Newt's P.O.V

After at least an hour has passed, Jacob and Nigini had already gone to bed, and I start to hear Tina's words turn sluggish and then stop together entirely. I look over at her and find her dead asleep, my book dropped on her face. I pick up the book, dog ear the page, and set it on the drift wood coffee table. Looking back over at Tina I realize how much more relaxed she looks when she sleeps and I don't want to ruin that. So without thinking twice I gently slip my arms under her sleeping figure and pick her up as not to wake her. She is as light as a feather in my arms and breathing deeply. I can see her stunning beauty and it almost brings me to my knees. To be quite frank (hehe) with myself I always thought Tina was the prettier of the sisters, no matter what other people say. Lost in my own thoughts I almost pass her room's red door. I backtrack a few steps and walk into her room. I set Tina down on the bed, tuck her in, and whisper good night. I take one last look at her and close the door softly. My mind is silent and peaceful as I walk down the staircase to check on the creatures before heading to bed. When I open the basement door I find everyone sleeping even the Zouwu, but then I hear a slight whimpering in the back of the room. I walk over to the bowtruckle tree and find Pickett sitting on the edge of the tree. I pick him up and whisper, "they are not trying to bully you Pickett but you need to try to make friends. Good point Pickett, I know I don't make friends easy but the friends I do have are the best people in the world!

This gets me a doubtful yet knowing look from Pickett.

"I just don't know what to do about Tina, Pickett, she is so wonderful and amazing and I think I feel more then friendship with her. But she is dating that Tolliver guy and seems so happy and I have nothing in common with her and I can't compete with an auror."

Pickett stays silent but I know he is using silence to push me to keep talking. I do.

"Pickett it's just every time I look at her I can't breathe and I feel like I'm dying. I just don't know what to do bu- WHAT, NO I can't tell her how I feel that's crazy Pickett! I can't believe you would suggest that, I told you she is with Tolliver. Anyway Pickett I don't want to worry you with my problems and please try to get some sleep. Good night buddy."

I flick off the basement lights and head back up the stairs to my bedroom which is the next door down. With all of the hosting, even though fun, I am exhausted and can't wait to fall asleep. But I know that is a lie, I want to fall asleep to avoid the thoughts that keep reentering my brain, turning my world on it's head. I walk into my room change into my niffler pajamas and throw myself onto my golden bed sheets, falling asleep before I can tuck myself in.
