crutches

All Tina could think now was how much she absolutely hated using crutches. Tina Goldstein, an Auror, relying on freaking sticks to carry her around? Such dishonour. Also the fact Newt would help her around everywhere. She's not saying she doesn't like it, because in all honesty she does like it. What she doesn't like is the swarm of Hogwarts students who would watch their every move. Tina felt awfully like she was being watched at every corner.

"Hello, Newt, Tina." Dumbledore walked out of the shadows, his hands in his pockets. The group of first-graders who were following them all squeaked and ran off under Dumbledore's glare. "Come with me, the both of you." Newt and Tina shared perplexed glances and hastily followed him and fast as those stupid crutches would let her. He let them into his office, which was neat and ordered (Tina snorted- she wished her desk was as neat). Queenie, Jacob, Theseus, Nagini and Credence were all standing around. Queenie especially looked incredibly uncomfortable. Tina tried not to cry. She couldn't show weakness. She could be a spy! Her little baby sister- the angel she'd grown up with- could easily be a spy. Tina kept her usual determined stance (or what she could do with THOSE BLASTED CRUTCHES) and made sure not to show anything.


"You're wondering why I brought you all here, correct?" The answer was a group of nods. "Well, I have a surprise for all of you. No, it does not include having to illegally leave the country, Newt." He added, with a glance at Newt. Newt huffed.

Dumbledore just stood still, as if he was wanting for something to happen. Newt was about to open his mouth to ask what was going on when he heard a voice that made him freeze. Beside him he could feel Tina tense up as well.

"-are you super sure that I can't have just one banana? Or have you run out of bananas? Hey, actually, d'you think bananas have, like, some sort of expiry date? Or-"

Tina gasped and Newt squeezed her hand. Could it be?

"Olivia!" Tina (guided by Newt) and Newt ran over to where she was standing, alive as ever, and a huge group hug occurred. Although, Newt didn't mind it as much.

"You're alive!" Newt said.

"What? You didn't expect me to stay dead, did ya?" She joked. Tina held her closer.

"Oi, you're going to squash me to death now!" Olivia laughed. Tina just smiled.

"Olivia, how-" Tina started to say, holding Olivia's shoulders.

Olivia thought for a second. "I can't remember what they're called, but they used some sort of heartie-startie sort of thing, I don't really know."


Theseus watched as Newt helped Tina up (Tina looked disgruntled at the fact she needed help to get up) and Olivia went and hugged everyone. She was healthy as ever, maybe more cheerful than usual. He grinned as she stood next to both Tina and Newt, talking to them about everything. He smiled. His little brother, who had always been lonely and friendless, had now found himself his own little family.
