Tina & Newt: We're Broken | Broken Pt. 3

"QUEENIE! NO!" Tina yelled at the top of her lungs as her sister collapsed to the ground after being hit by a bright green spell.

The brown-haired witch sent a surge of magic outwards around her, disarming the people attacking her and Newt. She attempted to sprint off to her younger sister but his arms wrapped around her and held her in the area.

"Tina, no!" Newt yelled at her.

"LET ME GO!"

She struggled wildly against his arms, feral instinct and need taking over.

"If you go over there, you'll die!"

"I don't care! I need to see if she's alright!"

Newt tackled her to the ground as a spell flashed by, and Tina blocked a few more wordlessly with her wand as she and Newt backed up to a wall. Suddenly dementors swooped into the degraded area (how did they get here?!) and a few of them targeted the two.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" Newt and Tina yelled at the same time, a corporeal patronus appearing from both of their wands.

Newt's was a porcupine and Tina's was a salamander, and together they chased away the dementors, partially clearing a path to Queenie's body. Looking at each other, panicked expressions on their faces, Tina sprang up and attempted to run over to Queenie's body again.

Newt scrambled up and sprinted after her, grabbing her hand and pulling her close to him behind the cover of a pillar, protecting them from a slew of spells. He reached into his pocket and withdrew his Swooping Evil, throwing it towards the wizards trying to attack them. He ducked back behind the pillar, pulling Tina closer to himself, and looked back around the pillar after he heard the sound of the Swooping Evil blocking spells.

He whistled and summoned it, gripping Tina's hand as she pulled him along. Newt ran with her, looking behind him and sticking out his hand, catching the Swooping Evil and catching up to Tina after lagging behind a couple feet. She pulled him behind a broken wall, checking for danger over the top of it.

"I'm gonna Apparate us into the middle of the courtyard and use the ground as a catalyst for an ice spell, OK? You get to the ground and make a shield," she commanded, eyes flitting around the area.

She crouched back down and looked at Newt, their hands still clenched together.

"Are you ready?" Tina asked, hair a little messy. They were both breathing heavily.

"Ready as I'll ever be," he replied, shifting his weight.

She gripped his hand tighter, and Apparated them into the middle of the courtyard. Tina kneeled on the ground and stabbed the pavement with her wand, sending ice shooting across the ground, which would suddenly shoot up into enemies, freezing them. Newt turned away from Tina, sitting on the ground, his back against hers, and pointed his wand at the sky.

"Protego!" he yelled, creating a magical dome around the two.

An avalanche of spells hit the barrier and Newt gritted his teeth, holding the shield together so Tina could keep the spell going. Suddenly the ice from her spell shot back across the ground towards her and was sucked back into her wand. She reached back and grabbed Newt's arm, Apparating them over to Queenie's body.
She knelt on the ground before the body of her sister, tears filling her eyes and threatening to spill over.
