Leta Meets Newt

"Newt, are you sure you can stand?" Tina asked nervously. Newt leaned on his cane, hobbling a few steps forward. "I've had worse," Newt said with a grimace. "Where's Caoimhe?" "She's with Credence. She hasn't left since she visited Leta," Tina replied. "I need to see her. I'll be back." Newt hobbled off to Caoimhe's bedroom.

Credence wished that he could get his body to work.

Caoimhe had barely left his side since the battle. He could hear her cry for him, and no matter how much he screamed at his limbs, he couldn't move them to comfort Caoimhe.

He was trapped in his own body.

I've only got two days, he screamed. Please move!

"Caoimhe?" Newt walked slowly into her bedroom. Credence lay on the bed, as still as death. Camille looked awful. Dark circles were under her eyes. Her hair had been yanked down from it's ponytail and hung in a limp mess around her face. Her cheeks were tearstained, her eyes red and swollen from crying. Newt sat beside her, unsure of what to do.

"He'll wake up," she choked. "He's got to. I can't-" A fresh new stream of tears began to roll down her cheeks. Newt set his cane aside, wrapping his arms around his little sister. She buried her face into his shoulder and sobbed. Newt wiped away each tear gently. He begged Credence to get up, to move to do something.

But Credence did nothing.

"Ten minutes," the guard said.

Newt nodded, shoving the door open. Behind the iron bars stood Leta. "Newt! My old friend! Why, you haven't changed a bit!" she cooed. "What do you want, Leta?" he asked impatiently. "Bit touchy, are we?" Leta teased. "I need to get back to Tina." Leta flinched at the mention of Tina.

"About Tina..." "Hurry up!" Newt huffed. Leta rolled her eyes. "Newt, I love you. And I'm asking you to choose me over Tina."

Silence.

"You're insane," Newt growled. "You get me expelled, join Grindewald, stab me, and you think that I will choose you over Tina?" "Of course!" Leta said. "Tina's boring, and not very attractive. I-" Leta cut herself off when she saw Newt's expression. "Leta, I made my decision the day I realized I was in love with Tina, and believe me, it wasn't a difficult choice. Maybe we can be friends again someday-"

"FRIENDS!" Leta cried out. "I love you!" 

"I don't."

"You'll regret this!"

"I regret coming here to speak to you!"

Newt turned to hobble off, but Leta was fast. She grabbed him through the bars, yanked him towards her, and kissed him.

It didn't last long.

Newt shoved himself away from her, his eyes burning with rage. Picking up his cane, he aparated away, landing on the bed he and Tina shared.

Tina's going to kill me! He panicked. I don't deserve Tina anymore! She deserves someone else! Someone better! Newt ran his fingers through his hair trying to think of what to say to Tina when he saw her.

Do you think Newt should tell Tina?
