Epilogue

13 year's time jump

Traveling never ceases to amaze Tina, and to make her feel exhausted and homesick at the same time. She's been away from London for a month now, and New York seems so many lifetimes away. When people call her Mrs. Scamander these days and ask about her younger sister in America, she finds it hard to believe that it's been two years.

Thirteen years since she left home. Thirteen years since she saw Seraphina Picquery and be bossed around by her. Thirteen years since Jacob proposed to Queenie. Thirteen years since Newt left his job at Ilvermorny. Thirteen years since she left MACUSA and joined the Ministry of Magic. ...Thirteen years of married life in London.

She misses Central Park, and it's snow. She misses the pastries of Jacob and the laughter of Queenie. She misses Spohie, Jackson, Brad, Vienna, Stefan, even Samantha ; Newt's eager students and of course, Anthony. What she does not miss though, is the company of Lyndon or Luise, or Grinda Scott for that fact. Tina has proved more than once, than rich family and good looks doesn't mean anything. Although Newt has both too, but he is an angel. Tina heard than Anthony and Samantha are pretty happy now, Brad had finally told Vienna about the magical world and she seems to enjoy wand works. New York is a better place for wizards and witches now, now that Grindelwald isn't lurking there anymore.

Greater threats are coming to the entire wizarding world and none of the muggles(Tina picked up the tongue of her current home town of course) are unaware of the dark war ahead. Among all of these, her children are the only weakness Tina fears.

Her son Grant and daughter Massie are both in Ravenclaw, although Newt insisted that they have the exact properties of a loving and caring Hufflepuff. When they come home in holidays and tell Tina stories about their favorite creatures, favorite spells and Quidditch teams, adventures in Hogsmeade ; Tina can't help but wish that Grindelwald fails to enter Hogwarts. She knows Dumbledore has it all under control, but when Grant buys her stuff from Zonko's joke shop and Massie hangs out in Honeyduke all too long ; she gets worried.

One of these days, she really misses Newt's suitcase. Here she is, sitting in a tent in Polland, writing her report about Witch robbery cases for the Ministry, hopelessly missing Newt and the children. A lonely American witch, so far away from home.

Newt ran to the deck to receive Tina, it's been months since he saw her. The moment she got to him, the first thing she does is punch him in the face. Well, not too hard.

"You are an utterly heartless person, you had to leave Grant all alone during Christmas and go for your stupid secret work." She yells.

Newt nodded, "I deserved that, but don't you read newspapers? If Grindelwald gets to them, there will be no holiday left. I had to go. Oh and by the way, there are three letter waiting for you."

When they got home and all their bickering was over, Tina hugged him for a while and made sure he wasn't thinner than before. "You should eat more you know", she sighs.

Newt smiles and gives her the letters. Queenie bought a car with the money she and Jacob earned together. They miss the children and are asking the Scamanders to visit New York soon. To which Newt agrees after two years, "I reckon the threat isn't there anymore, it shifted to Europe. There is no need for Grant and Massie to miss their auntie any longer."

Tina was glad, it would be a strange feeling. Visiting the place where she grew up after staying away for two years. The other letter was an invitation to the most exciting marriage in New Of the year. The first legal marriage of a Wizard and a nomaj woman. Brad Lockwood and Vienna Ryan. Tina would definitely go. These two have been living together for a long time now but recently after the legalization of nomaj marriages, it was obvious that they wouldn't stay unmarried, however old the bride and groom are.

The third letter however, was not surprising. Over the past decade, Grindelwald has increased his power, his army and apparently number of murders in all over the world. The clues of people he murders lead to two things. One, he does not murder unless he thinks he must. Two, he doesn't murder muggles. He is ruthless, cunning, but smart. Dumbledore is the only one who suspects the nest time he would strike. They do match up almost always. Tina put the letters aside and comfortably lay down on their bed beside Newt and let Picket play with her hair.

Easter Holidays

Newt and Tina were inside the suitcase when the children got home. They wanted to surprise their parents, so they came earlier than notified. When the occamies were fighting with Dougal about some issue, Massie silently picked up Dougal and laughed out loud. Newt exclaimed, "Hey! How are you two before time?" He put the mooncalf food basket down and ran to his daughter. Grant was always a bit shy, but in the suitcase he was a different person. Tina can tell who he got that trait from. Grant loved riding the hippogriffs, so that's what he did all day. At night, they all had a family dinner that was tastier than even Hogwarts end of year feast. That was because they were home. Grant and Massie were very excited when they heard about going to America for the first time in public. They would not have to hide in Jacob's apartment, use floo powder and pretend like they've never been to America.

Newt had his hand casually restin across his wife's waist as he was watching his children packing. He was glad to get this family vacation and to meet the two people that lives dearly, but had to avoid mentioning for thirteen years. It had all been for safety.

Queenie was in tears that day. She was seeing her sister out in the open, hugging her nephew and niece; she saw Newt's new coat that was the exact blue when the first time she saw him. Jacob made the largest numbers of pastries and cakes ever, for Newt, Tina and their children. It's been ages.

The reunion had been messy, the wedding was grand, the poepl were nostalgic and the goodbye was the heardest.

"I mean, we can always visit each other with floo powder. Besides it's just a few weeks till Grant's birthday and you all are coming to London. Why is everyone in tears?" Tina says half heartedly.

Massie asked her father, "Why is everybody crying?"
"For some reason, this feels like it's the end of something"

Author's goodbye : Guys, I love you all more than you will ever know. I felt like I owed you an epilogue. I ended the seies in chapter 13, bit the love you all had for it still, made me write an ongoing conclusion.

I dedicate Newt's son's name to Grant Gustin, aka Barry Allen, the fastest man alive, The Flash. I'm a Game of Thrones fan, so Massie Williams aka Arya Stark is the main source of the daughter. The very last two lines are the last lines said by Aria and Alison, from Pretty Little Liars.

Thank you again for loving this story so much and I hope you are all waiting for Fantastic Beasts 2 like I am.
