Three Days Later...

Another boat trip. ______ was beginning to feel seasick.

After everything that happened, MACUSA had tried telling Newt and _______ that she had to be obliviated. She knew too much, especially about the entire murder case. Newt and ______ fought it, stating that she was going to go to Britain with Newt, where it was completely legal. MACUSA still fought this, saying that it was dangerous and still illegal since she was an American citizen. They came to a brief compromise, allowing it for now but insisting that they'd be in contact with the Ministry. For now, they insisted that Tina accompany the pair back to Britain to make sure that everything went without a hitch.

______ was happy that this time, at least they had a room. Tina was sharing it with them, of course, but they had a room. It was a two-bed cabin: one bed for Tina and one for the couple. Tina just had one rule: don't do anything they wouldn't want to see their grandparents do. It was effective enough imagery.

When it was nighttime on the last night, Tina was already fast asleep while Newt and ______ laid awake. Something had been on ______'s mind and hadn't left ever since they left America. "Newt, I'm worried."

Newt looked over at her, making out the shape of her face in the darkness. "What is it, love?"

"It's about MACUSA. Do you really think it's possible that they have grounds to obliviate me just because I'm still an American citizen?"

Newt was silent for a moment. "It's entirely possible," he admitted, staring up at the ceiling.

______ groaned. "I fought so hard to get my memory back, I fought so hard to keep my memories safe from Draculous, and they can take all of that away systematically? How is that fair?"

"It's not," Newt mumbled. He was worried about it to. However, an idea popped into his head. He was heard before that muggle-wizard couples from other countries sometimes traveled to Britain to get married and have a peaceful life. If I married ______, not only would she be a legal citizen, she'd be safe from ever getting obliviated again. "_______?"

______ looked over at Newt with a worried expression. "What is it?" He sat up, turning on the lamp and looking down at her with a smile. He leaned over and grabbed his suitcase, beginning to dig through it, only confusing her further. "Newt, what are you doing?"

He has to have grabbed some kind of ring before, Newt thought, feeling around. Once he felt himself grab it, he smiled wider and hid it in his hand, putting his suitcase back down. Maintaining eye contact with _______, his expression turned serious. "I know the perfect way to keep MACUSA from having any grounds to obliviate you."

_______'s expression turned hopeful. "What is it?" she asked, excitement on her voice.

Newt opened his palm, revealing a simple golden ring. ______ stared at it in shock before Newt spoke again. "Marry me, ______. You'll be a full British citizen, and you'll be safe from ever being obliviated again. I love you, and I want to spend my life with you. Who's to say that can't start right away?"

______ stared at the ring in shock, picking it up. It wasn't a dream proposal, but it was amazing. She couldn't be happier, and she smiled, looking back at Newt. "Yes. A thousand times yes," she told him, pulling him into a tight hug. "I love you, Newt. I couldn't imagine spending my life with anyone else."

Newt smiled and sighed in relief, hugging her back. "Well, now there's nothing to be scared about or worried about. I love you, ______, and no one is ever going to take that away from you. Not MACUSA, not Draculous, no one. You're safe with me."

______ never thought she'd hear those words.
