Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them(Alternate Ending)
Author's Note: Hello! This is my very first Fanfiction, so apologies for any plot holes, misuse of tools and settings, or any other issues. Please review so I know how to improve the next few chapters.
This story was actually a dream I had a few nights after watching FBAWTFT 2 trailer. I got so hyped up! :D My brain decided to mess with the first movie that night, and I thought it'd be a great story. I've tweaked the story here and there, and added some things here and there. Hope you'll enjoy it! :)
Just to get all the FBWATFT fans hyped up, Dumbledore(obviously younger); Theseus Scamander, Newt's older brother; even younger flashbacks of Newt, Dumbledore, and Hogwarts; and maybe Leta will appear. Jacob Kowalski will be around too! :D Like that guy a lot :)
Also, OCs (Original Creatures, duh:D) will appear. I have only watched the FBAWTFT film, all Harry Potter films and read all the Harry Potter books. I have not read the FBAWTFT book or any other Harry Potter spin-offs, so I'm very sorry if I make up a creature with XXX ability that an existent creature already has, describe an existent creature but give it a different ability, etc. or if I mess up the abilities of the magical creatures originally in FBAWTFT.
Please tell me if you'll like me to start a new paragraph each dialogue, or just keep them in the same paragraph. For now, I'm paragraphing.
Finally, please like, fav, follow and review! Thank you! Now on to the story! :D
Chapter 1: The Success, The Problem and The Bird
Newt clenches his teeth and convulses in pain as Graves strikes him repeatedly with bolts of blue, magical electricity from his wand. A few gasps of pain escape him, as waves of excruciating magical electrical currents flowed through his body repeatedly. Credence sobs, no longer able to control it and transforms into an Obscurus.
"Credence..." Graves begins, but the Obscurus attacks. Graves apparates away, and Newt painfully does the same. As Newt hides behind a pillar, and Credence focuses on Graves instead, Newt grimaces in pain and rummages through his pockets. His body was tingling with magical electricity and he could see tiny blue bolts dancing around his body. He whips out a bottle that read, "For electrocution and electric attacks from Stormbird". The bottle was nearly empty, definitely not enough to heal Newt, like it should. Taking a close look at it, Newt decided that there was only enough to numb the pain, and only for a short time. It'll have to do, he thought, as he drank every drop of the concoction, before apparating away, having noticed just in time the Obscurus charging towards him. Newt could still feel a throbbing pain in his chest, probably from the very first curse Graves had shot him with, he'd thought, as he apparates away again, ignoring the pain. As Newt apparates repeatedly, avoiding the Obscurus' attacks, he tries to think of a way to help Credence...
Now, Credence had seemingly been killed, Graves had turned on MACUSA, and Newt had used one of his beasts to restrain and disarm him. Newt stares at the restrained Graves, trying to ignore the tingly sensation beginning to course through his body. Pointing his wand at him, he says "revelio." Slowly, Graves' hair turns white, his skin tone pales, and Newt's suspicion is confirmed. kneeling in front of him was Grindelwald, smiling.
"Do you think you can hold me?"
"We'll do our best, Mr Grindelwald." President Picquery says as 2 Aurors lead him away.
Grindelwald turns to Newt and says something, with a smile, but Newt just stares after him curiously, unable to hear him as the pounding of his heart filling his ears. Pain began coursing through his body and an unusual wave of fatigue overwhelmed him. Oh no, it's wearing off…I need to make a new dose…
"We owe you an apology, Mr Scamander. But the wizarding community has been exposed, we can't Obliviate an entire city..." Madam Picquery says grimly, interrupting Newt's thoughts. As Newt looks out of the hole on the top of the tunnel that the Obscurus had created, Newt saw a small, tiny wisp of the Obscurus dance in the air, before floating out of the hole and out of sight. As Newt stares at the clouds in the sky, something in Newt's mind clicks.
"Maybe we can..." All eyes turn to him, staring disbelievingly. Newt takes his magical suitcase and walks forward.
"Ah..." Newt winces and stumbles, struggling to stay on his foot as his vision begins to swim. The tingling pain he felt was excruciating now, and Newt struggled to keep the world in focus. The effects of the concoction had nearly completely worn off, and Newt wished he had more of it.
"Newt?" Tina asks worriedly as she steps towards him, "Newt, are you…okay?"
"I...(wince)...err...yes..." Newt says distractedly as he stumbles forward. He falls to his knees and has some difficulty with the latches of his suitcase as he tries to open them. He was seeing double of everything, and he struggled to fight off the darkness threatening to take him at any moment.
"Newt...Newt..." Tina approaches cautiously, gently.
"Mr Scamander, are you sure you're..." Even Madam Picquery asked, a little suspiciously and anxiously.
"Hmmm…yes, yes...(wince)...that will do...no other way..." Newt murmurs to himself as he opens his suitcase. He felt like he was moving through mud and his hands felt as heavy as lead. Newt fumbles at a test tube as he extracts venom from the Swooping Evil, all the while whistling softly into the suitcase.
"There we go...ow…Pickett, it's...it's okay..." Newt struggles to say as he extracts the last of the venom that was needed, when Pickett jabbed him sharply. Newt squints, struggling to clear his foggy mind as he picks Pickett up and puts him into the suitcase.
"Go...(wince)...go in, you'll be safer...there...Go on now, you can help make sure...the others are alright...you know what to do…you can ask Dougal to help you…" Pickett hesitates and looks up sadly before he disappears into the suitcase.
"Newt, please, I think you're hurt...you're not thinking straight..." Tina crouches next to Newt and takes his hands in hers. Newt weakly tries to push her away.
"No... Tina...I..." "Newt, please..." Tina begins, when suddenly, a huge bird emerges from the suitcase, flapping its huge wings.
"Screeeeee!" The enormous bird cries. Tina, president Picquery and the Aurors stare in amazement and shock, as Newt struggles to his feet and stumbles towards it.
"This...is a thunderbird, as I'm sure you all should know... since it's the animal on one of the emblems...of the wizarding school here, He's the real reason...(wince)...I wanted to come...to America. I meant to wait...till we got to Arizona. But...I guess you're our only hope now, Frank. " Newt murmurs as he pats Frank's beak gently and strokes its feathers.
"Scree...screee..." Frank cries out uneasily.
"I know, I...(wince)...I know. I...I'll miss you too. Don't worry, I'm fine..." Newt says as he hugs Frank's beak and pats him affectionately.
"...You know what to do with this. Are you...ready?" Newt struggles to keep his voice even as he holds up the tube of venom. He throws it with all his remaining strength into the air.
"SCREEEEE..." The Thunderbird screeches loudly as it catches the tube in it's beak and soars into the air. Onlookers gasp in fright and amazement as Frank soars higher and higher into the air. Lightning crackles around him and dark clouds begin to gather.
"SCREEEEE!" With a loud cry, a blue wave ripples through the clouds and it begins to rain. No-maj, or Muggle onlookers freeze, blink repeatedly, then look around confusedly before dispersing. Wizards and witches go around waving their wands and repairing the damage done by the Obscurus. As the hole that the Obscurus made in the tunnel closes up, Newt finally relaxes, the wizarding community being protected from being exposed.
"Ah..." Newt gasps in pain and tenses up again as he sways on the spot. His vision blurs, and his mind felt cloudy.
"Newt!" Tina cries out, as Newt falls backwards towards the ground...
So, how did you readers find it? All constructive reviews are appreciated. Please like, fav, follow and review to show your support for this story if you'd like it to continue. I'll try to post regularly. Say, every 2-4 days? :) Okay, somewhere along the line, I won't follow the schedule cos that's me, and I don't follow schedules. I'll do my best, I've already got parts of the story done, but I thought I'd stop here to leave some suspense. ;)
Bye for now! :D
