So, while listening to the soundtrack for the amazing TV show Galavant (please watch it, it is such a brilliant show), I got an idea for an amazing oneshot for The Elilora Scamander Chronicles. If you don't understand anything in here, please visit Elilora's chapter in my OC guide and her book (which was a yet-to-be-published prologue). If you're reading this on Wattpad, the song above is "Goodbye" from Galavant. If you're reading this on , just search for it on YouTube.
Newt gasped and jolted up. The last thing he remembered was that Theseus was intending to shoot a curse at one of Grindelwald's followers, but the man had used him as a shield.
Newt looked around the dark room, hearing an eerie, hissing noise. He turned around and saw a pale figure in a dark cloak, illuminated by the only light source. Newt gulped nervously. "A-are you death?" he asked. The figure nodded. "I'm dead." The figure nodded again.
"Theseus!" Newt groaned in frustration. The figure Apparated and appeared behind him. Newt turned around to face him and stood up off the table he was laying on. Death pushed the table away by moving his hand and lowered his hood. Many beautiful, but ghostly, women appeared from behind him and began... dancing.
Death: Goodbye Funny how the time did fly Don't bother packing simply say, "Sayonara"
Yes, it's time to say goodbye
Sad, I know, but, hey, you're done with livin'
It's time to give in
And go and so, goodbye
Really, it's a crime
You're heading for forever
To the great big whatever
In the sky
'Cause there ain't no tomorrow
Where you're going
Sure, we all feel for you
But things just got real for you
So why not make amends
To all your family and friends?
Theseus: Goodbye
Newt: Theseus?
Theseus: Sorry that I made you die
Newt: It's not okay.
Guinevere: Yeah, I'm here, I'm not sure why
Newt: Me, either. Seriously, who invited you?
Jacob: Hold me because I'm going to cry
Newt: No.
Jacob: My...
Newt: Please.
Jacob: best...
Newt: Don't make this even harder.
Jacob: pal
Queenie: Goodbye
Newt: Queenie?
Queenie: Seems as though we just said hi
Newt: Yeah, well, we did. Who's this?
Random guy: I am just some random guy
Newt: What happened? Is that commentary on my lack of friends in school?
Death beckoned him closer. "Come."
"I'm not leaving!" Newt insisted. "Not without..."
He turned to see a tall, dark-haired woman with a small little girl. "Tina, Elilora. But wait, are they in trouble?" he asked. He ran to them and tried to brush Elilora's hair from her face, but his hand just fell through. He tried to caress Tina's cheek, but his hand fell through again. "Newt?" Tina asked. "Daddy?" Elilora asked at the same time. "Loves?" Newt asked.
Elilora: War has come, and without Dad here
Newt: I am with you
Tina: Beside us to support us and guide us
Newt: In spirit
Elilora: We could fail here
Newt: No, you won't!
Tina: Yet somehow, strangely, I'm sure we can do this
Newt: Yes, you can
Tina: Sure, we'll somehow get through this
And we sure don't need that jackass who completely broke our hearts
Newt: Wait, what?
Tina: And like he said to me that schmuck can go die in a fart
Newt: I didn't say that. I've never made a fart joke in my life.
Auror: You asked to see me, Miss Goldstein?
Tina: Rally the other Aurors. It's time to defend our world.
Newt: Wait. No, Tina, there's been a misunderstanding.
All: Goodbye
Newt: Stop singing!
All: Now it's time to say goodbye
Newt: No. I have to go back.
All: Wish that you could stay
Death: You can't, though, and we both know why
Newt: No, I have to tell my family–
Death: Now your big finish is nigh
Newt: No, Tina has to know that I love her.
Death: Time to let death in the eye and sa-a-a-a-y
(Newt actually knees Death in the groin)
Death: (Groans)
Newt: Goodbye
