Iloveyourfreckles - Thank you, everything previous to a few months before the story began happened exactly like in the first movie, discluding Crimes of Grinderwald. This just alters what we know about the rest of Newt's timeline in the Harry Potter canon.


"You could have warned me about the portkey," Tina smiled as Newt walked back to the path where she was standing from the edge of the pond.

"I was afraid you wouldn't come if you had known," Newt mumbled, "The people who grew up here, nomages and wizards both don't fear them because they've grown up with spiders sometimes bigger than that but for someone where we're from it's a bit of a fright, they can smell fear so even if you retain your composure they might attack you."

"And what's the likely hood that a spider would attack me?" Tina asked.

"As long as you follow the rules, don't provoke it, flush the toilet before you use it, that's for snakes too, if you see one just work around it, you should be fine," Newt shrugged, "People hardly ever die from spider bites, they can be treated at the infirmary."

"If I get bitten by a spider I have to go to the infirmary?" Tina was slightly startled.

"Oh yes, if you go untreated the effects are very unpleasant and you could die," Newt looked over at Tina, "That wasn't the most comforting thing I could have said is it? You'll hardly ever see one, in the few weeks I've been here only one student has been bitten, he was climbing a tree and knocked into it's web."

"Well I don't think I'll be climbing many trees, spiders or no spiders," Tina smiled.

"No I don't suppose you will, are you well prepared for your classes tomorrow?" Newt asked as they slowly walked around the pond.

"I was given an outline, my first class is first years but I think going over what they already know would be a good starting point, I would like to give them a writing assignment but I'll have to look at the resources in the library before I decide how I want it assigned," Tina explained.

"If you need any help I would be glad to assist you," Newt smiled, "Are you going to miss being an auror?"

"A bit but it's only till they find a new teacher, apparently there's a few that are on the fence but once one agrees I should be back in America," Tina smiled with a bit of sadness in her eyes.

"But while you're here you're going to be a great teacher," Newt smiled toothily and held Tina's gaze till the dinner warning bell rang, "Oh, shall we?"

"Yes," Tina took Newt's arm which made them both blush slightly as they walked back towards the school.


Thank you so much for reading, let me know what you think in a review! These first few chapters will be shorter then they'll get longer.
