Disclaimer:

As much as I wish I did I own nothing from the Harry Potter Universe other than my own characters, and as much as I wish I made money off of this, sadly I do not. This is the product of my constant brain dumping and is used for entertainment purposes only. SO PLEASE ENJOY IT!

This idea as most all of my other stories came to me in a dream. I've really fallen in love with Credence so much so that because I feel he deserved better I've imagined a better story for him! YAAAYYYYY Now I realize that he is probably going to come back in the following movies but I still like my idea, and I hope you will as well. This story starts during the time of the movie and then will go on past with my own OCs added in. There will possibly be a pairing in this story for Newt as well in the future and a possible rating change depending on how I feel the story is going. Anyway please let me know what you think I love hearing reader opinions but please no flaming. If you have a criticism I would love to hear about it. But only if it will help either my story or my writing. Thanks again!

Chapter 1: Elle

Loud Piercing cries echoed around the large space that held all of Newton's fantastic creatures as a great thunderstorm raged in one particular habitat.

"Danger," Newt said looking up at his beloved creature Frank. "He senses danger…"

The group stared up at the distressed Thunderbird for a moment wondering what danger could be headed for them next. But Newt seemed to already have an idea as he climbed down from Frank's habitat.

"We're going to need some help." he said as he passed his comrades Tina, Jacob, and Queenie who quickly followed behind looking confused.

Newt lead the group through his enlarged space to a room that he affectionately called his study. It was a large room filled bookshelves that stretched almost to the top of the suitcase. On one side there was a small fireplace with a old worn but comfy looking arm chair. The room also held a small desk covered with papers where he did a lot of the writing on his book. Even though he often used the shed for his research his study was where he read various books he had collected on magical creatures by both wizard and muggle authors. It was his peaceful place where he could escape after a day of chasing.

Coming into the room he quickly walked over to the fireplace and reached up to the mantle overhead to grab a handful of ash like powder from a small dark wooden box with the head of an owl engraved on its top. He threw the powder into the fireplace that caused the flames to shoot up into the floo and turn a vibrant acid green. Then he cleared his throat and spoke in his most authoritative voice.

"Albus Dumbledore"

The flames flickered and sizzled in the fireplace for a moment before the head of elderly wizard with shoulder length grey hair and a thick grey beard wearing what looked like a large upside down and sideways knitted boot on his head appeared within the flames. He seemed confused at first as he blinked around the fireplace before he straightened his glasses and focused on Newt.

"NEWT MY BOY!" He cried happily. "How are you?"

Newt couldn't help but show his shy smile. "I am well professor and yourself?"

"Couldn't be better couldn't be better! How are you liking America?"

Newt gave a small giggle, he was almost beside himself. It was easy to see he respected the elderly man.

" It's….. more exciting than I was expecting. Listen I am sorry to call on you at such a late hour but I'm afraid it's a bit of a pressing matter."

"Of course of course," the great wizard said taking off his boot and straightening his glasses. "But you know it's actually quite early over here. Morning actually, but how can I help you dear boy?"

"You were right professor," Newt said as his smile disappeared. "There is an obscurial here...a powerful one. It's taken a muggle life.."

"Oh dear," Dumbledore said in his quiet voice. "That is serious….and..is...HE there?"

"Yes I suspect so….if not one of his followers for sure...they are searching for how one could be "useful" Newt said cutting his eyes to the side as he did when he was upset about something.

Dumbledore stared down at the ground thoughtfully.

"I was afraid of as much," he said as his hand appeared in the fire to stroke his beard.

Newt looked back up to meet his professor's eyes.

"Sir I know you sent me on this mission...But I need your help. This obscurial is extremely powerful. It has caused mass destruction already."

Dumbledore was quiet for another moment.

"Of course…" he whispered thoughtfully before he seemed to snap out of his thoughts. "Well I am sure that Elle would be more than happy to help..after all she was invaluable the last time...and"

The moment the older wizard mentioned the name Elle Newt's face went pale and his eyes went wide and he began to shake his head.

"No….no absolutely not...Professor you can't be serious!" he cried. "Not after the Sudan!"

Dumbledore paused and looked at his former student curiously. "Why ever not? I thought you were friends. You make a wonderful team…..a dynamic duo..as it were" he said with a chuckle

Behind Newt his three companions had been listening intently to the conversation. But they had all jumped at Newt's sudden outburst, and exchanged looks of confusion. Tina couldn't help but feel the angry pangs of jealousy well up within her wondering who this new person was. First she had seen the picture of Leta Lestrange and then even though she had pretended not to overhear, she had heard every word of Newt and Queenie's conversation. Queenie turned to look at her sister, hearing her angry and hurt thoughts. Then she turned and read the thoughts of Newt and a small smile appeared on her face. She turned and leaned into her sister.

"It's not like that sis," She whispered. "They are only friends...best friends."

Tina's eyes widened as she realized her sister had read her thoughts and Newt's. At first her expression turned angry but there was plainly a look of relief on her features before her expression fell blank.

"Don't read my thoughts Queenie." She whispered before she tuned back into the conversation.

"Of course we are friends," Newt cried. "But professor after the last time do you really think.."

"Newt, you really have nothing to worry about she is far better than she was, and more than capable...honestly in my opinion even more qualified to handle this than I am..I would be completely worthless... just a tourist really..not to mention there is no way I could possibly leave the school now we are in the middle of winter exams…."

Newt was quickly becoming exasperated so much so that he was no longer making contact with the face in the flames at all.

"Professor I completely agree with you..But I'm sorry I can't, I will not put her in danger again." He said in his most stern voice he could muster.

"Are you questioning my ability Snooty Newty?" a new voice, this one feminine, asked bursting through the fireplace. "Or are you implying that I am too feeble?"

Everyone in the suitcase was in shock at the new interruption. Newt's eyes widened as he stared at the fireplace for a moment before he looked down with a smile.

"Elle….how long have you been listening?"

"Ever since YOU had the audacity to interrupt OUR knitting circle." the voice said. "Now..you did not answer my question...is it my ability or are you trying to say that I am feeble?"

Newt looked up to the ceiling praying for help.

"Neither…I would be far too frightened to say either of you as we know of course neither is true. I am simply trying to look after your well being."

"And since when have I ever needed YOU to do THAT for me?" Elle asked. "As I recall that is what I have been doing for YOU from the moment we first met."

Newt couldn't argue there. He had known Elle from the moment he had been pushed down by some muscle heads from Slytherin as he was trying to load his considerable trunk full of books of magical creatures on the train to Hogwarts. He had suddenly felt a hand lift him up by the collar as if he weighed nothing and a loud angry voice shouting at the boys who ultimately ran for their lives. He had been terrified as she had rounded on him after chasing away his attackers demanding why he hadn't taken up for himself.

From then on she had watched out for him. Sometimes much to his annoyance especially since she had not liked Leta and vice versa. He had always thought that she would be the one to change and grow away from him because they were so different sharing only their love of magical creatures. She was so wild and carefree whereas he was shy and reserved. She was also a prankster who was constantly causing mischief yet she never seemed to get into trouble. She had this unstoppable energy and charisma that simply made it impossible to hate her or stay angry with her. She was also incredibly smart which annoyed him to no end as it seemed as if she never studied yet her grades were better than his and all he seemed to do was study.

She had been picked for Gryffindor which was not surprising since she was not afraid of anything. But above all her loyalty was what amazed him. She never gave up on being his friend even though he would at first go out of his way to avoid her and constantly tell her for that first year that he was not her friend. Even when she became one of the most popular girls in school she would still proudly tell everyone that he was her best friend. She would meet him to study in the library (Well he would study, she would sleep or play pranks or games), wave to him in the hall, send presents to him on Christmas and his birthday, and even leave her vast number of friends to come and sit with him in the great hall when he was alone. She never became ashamed to be seen with him and had never left him as Leta had even after his near expulsion.

She was without a doubt the bravest and most caring person he knew sometimes without caring for her own well being….even if she did have a bit of a temper, had no filter, and didn't seem to have the word NO anywhere in her personal dictionary. As much as he hated to admit it, if anyone could help them now it was her.

Suddenly Newt was snapped out of his thoughts by Elle's voice talking to Dumbledore.

"I do apologize professor..But I am afraid duty calls and I am needed to go and save the day yet again."

"Bravo my dear, I knew I could count on you." Dumbledore said with a smile in his voice. "Would you care for a lemon drop on your way out?

"No thank you sir. We will check in soon."

Those were the last words they heard before the green flames suddenly shot up. A moment later a dark figure emerged from the fireplace bent completely over to avoid knocking her head on the brick. She was dressed in a long dark emerald green dress with tight sleeves and a high collar that went up nearly to her chin. Her dress was covered by a long fitted black coat that had buttons all the way up the center and a large fur rimmed hood. Her feet were covered by knee length laced boots. When she stood up everyone standing behind Newt stared at her in surprise. She was shorter than all of them standing at only five feet four inches with a petite figure that was hidden by her coat and dress. Her long fiery hair was pulled up into a thick loose french braid that ran from the top of her head down her back and over her shoulder all the way to her waist where it ended in a spiral curl. Her skin was like porcelain ivory covered with a gentle spray of freckles across her nose and her lips were full and pink. But it was her eyes that caught everyone's attention. Her eyes were huge and an intense blue like two large ocean pools rimmed by dark black lashes.

Newt was the only one who seemed horrified to see her, and Queenie could hear it in his thoughts. He was screaming furious at her appearance. But his thoughts confused her. When she read his thoughts about Elle he had been so fond of her. It was clear that she was his best friend..like a sister. Now his thoughts questioned who she even was...as if he didn't recognize her. Queenie looked back at her sister and Kowalski who seemed as dumbfounded as she was before she turned back to look at the new witch. She couldn't understand why Newt was upset..She thought Elle was quite beautiful. She wished she didn't have so much trouble with British people's thoughts.

"Elle," He said with a stone cold expression. "You are looking well.

Elle smiled at him with her mischievous smile.

"And you look exactly the same as when I last saw you. Newty please….You have to change your clothes SOME TIME!"

Newt rolled his eyes before Elle burst into laughter and threw her arms around his neck pulling him in for a crushing hug.

"You haven't changed either..still cheeky as ever." He said with a grin.

"You should have known that you couldn't keep me away." she said closing her eyes as she tucked her chin over his shoulder.

"Yes but I had hoped that you would take a break after our last adventure." He said pulling away from her after a moment. "I should have known you would be stubborn."

Elle's face became slightly more serious as she pulled back from him as well. "Yes well..not when there is a chance to save a child's life. I will always be too stubborn to give up on that. Right.." She said setting a large black bag that she had brought with her at her feet. "On to work.. I will need to know everything that has happened up until now...But before that I demand you apologize to myself and your friends for not properly introducing us...I see you still have no manners Newty...and I want to meet these gorgeous beings before me." She said turning to Tina, Queenie and Kowalski who all suddenly turned red at her turning her attention to them and calling them gorgeous.

Newt's eyes widened in surprise at having forgotten they were there.

"I'm terribly sorry." He said almost feeling the need to bow beneath all of the eyes that were suddenly on him. "Elle these are my friends. This is Jacob Kowalski..He's a muggle baker I met my first day here." He said as they stepped up to Jacob who seemed in awe of Elle though he always seemed in awe of everything to do with the magical world.

"Umm nice to meet you." He said holding out his hand.

Elle grabbed his hand and pulled him into her looking directly into his eyes with hers.

"You're a baker!" She cried. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I would love to sample some of your creations sometimes..I love sweets."

Now it was Queenie's turn to get jealous.

Elle suddenly reached out and gently turned his face to the side.

"You were bitten by a Murtlap." She said looking at the healing injury. "You used the essence to heal it I see…"

"Yes, of course." Newt said as she judged his work.

"But its still going to scar." She complained before she turned to look back at him. "Why didn't you urinate on it to keep it from scarring? Now he's going to have to go through life looking like the victim of a vampire."

"What!?" Kowalski squeaked in a high pitched voice as he grabbed his neck. He wasn't sure what he was more appalled about another man urinating on his neck or the fact that he looked like he had been bitten by a vampire. Though he really hadn't stopped to take a peek in a mirror these last few days.

"I was more concerned about his reaction to the bite...His symptoms were the worse I've ever seen in a victim." Newt said quickly.

"Ohhh," Elle said turning back to Kowalski. "Did fire come out of his anus then?"

At that moment Jacob Kowalski simply wanted to die. He would rather be anywhere ANYWHERE including back in war than be here at this moment with the current conversation about himself.

"We had only just met and I didn't think it proper to urinate on a stranger's neck without at least a proper introduction. Especially when it was one of my creatures that injured him."

"Y-yea.." Kowalski said beginning to sweat. "It's a custom in America that a man never urinates on another man's neck on the first date...right Newt?"

"Right." Newt said with a grin.

"Hmmmmm" Elle said looking at him suspiciously before she moved on to Tina.

"You're beautiful." She said plainly giving the other witch a smile.

Newt quickly stepped up beside her knowing how Elle could be with others at times and how other people both man and woman could sometimes respond to her.

"This is Tina, she was an auror of MACUSA." he said almost affectionately of the witch which did not go unnoticed by Elle who cut her eyes to him. "Oh really!?" She said taking Tina's hand as she did Kowalski's and pulled her in close. "It's a pleasure to meet you… and may I offer my congratulations. Newt is a fine young wizard, and I like you better than the last one already. Please look after him. He can sometimes be a bit squirrely."

Tina was surprised to say the least and all of her jealous went away.

"Oh...t-thank you!" She said not sure what else to say.

Elle turned to Newt. "You have my permission to court her….It takes a strong woman to deal with the likes of you and I think she can handle it."

Newt went blood red in the meantime and momentarily lost the ability to tongue. Without fail Elle was a master of embarrassing the hell out of him.

"I'll do what I want" He grumbled beneath his breath like a pouting child.

Finally was Queenie who was all smiles when Elle stepped up to her.

"You are quite something!" She said with a smile. "I'm Queenie." She said before Newt even had the chance to introduce her. " I'm Tina's sister. I think you and I will be the best of friends." She said before pulling Elle into a hug.

"Queenie is a legilimens." Newt said seeing Elle's wide eyes.

"A LEGILIMENS!?" She asked. "I've never met one!"

"Of course you haven't sweetie," Queenie said pulling away from her. "Aww you think such nice things about me, and you are such a good friend of Newt's..But..oh honey," She said with a concerned look on her face. "Now I see what Newt was upset about...You need to see a doctor."

"Thank you Queenie." Newt said interrupting her. That was a subject he did not want brought up at the moment. "Now everyone please let me introduce Ellewyn Nightingale. The world's foremost Magiveterinarian.

"A what?" Tina asked in a confused voice. She had never heard of such a thing.

Elle grinned. "Newt is a magizoologist and I am a magiveterinarian. He chases and studies animals of the magic world. I heal them and heal wizard and muggle kind from them."

"Yes," Newt says. "She has discovered more cures from magical creature bites and scratches than any other in the world, and she has helped me save countless creatures on our travels. She is also the leading authority on Oscurials. She was reason I was able to separate the obscurus from the little girl in the Sudan three months ago."

"Ellewyn Nightingale," Queenie said with a thoughtful smile. "I like it!"

"Thank you," Elle said with a grin...

"But please...call me Elle."

Author's note

Well I hope you enjoyed the introduction of my OC. Her nick name is pronounced El-Lee as in Ellie but spelled Elle. I love how sassy and outspoken she is while being completely unapologetic. I also love the sibling like relationship she has with Newt her nickname for him was actually one of the first things that I came up with for her.

Next Chapter: The Snooty Newty rescue of Credence Barebone (Should be posted later tonight or tomorrow I'M ON A ROLL!)

Please let me know what you think!
