"I think, the best wizarding school in the world is, Hogwarts." Newt protested, 

"I second that!" Celeste said.

"Hogwash?"

Celeste broke into the second fit of laughter that day.

The thunderbird cawed warningly, wings flapping hard as he conjured up a storm to support his warning.

"Danger." New translated for them. "He says theres danger."

They all ran out of the case, and Newt Apparated them all to a rooftop at Squire's.

"Geez!" Jacob said, staring at the black obscurus wreaking havoc in New York. "Is that the obscurial thing?"

"That's more powerful than any obscurial I've ever heard of." Newt remarked.

"I'm going." Celeste said, about to run before Newt had grabbed her by her coat and pulled her back.

"No! You're going to stay here with Tina, Jacob, and Queenie, who are going to keep you safe."

"Oh Newt, I'm flattered you care about me, but as much as you don't want me to die, I don't want you to die either! It's either we both go, or we both don't go."

Newt looked flustered, before pulling her into a chaste kiss.

He turned to the three behind them while Celeste recovered from the shock of the kiss. "If we don't come back, look after my creatures. Everything that you need to know is in there." He pulled out a manual, panting. Then he turned back to Celeste.

"If we're going to do this, you're going to follow my lead."

"We both know that's not going to happen." Celeste retorted before she was grabbed by Newt and they both jumped off the building, Celeste feeling the familiar cold icy feeling of Apparating, missing the panicked yell of their names from Tina after they had Apparated.

"You survived, so long! But this inside you, Credence," Graves missed the gasp coming from Celeste. "is a miracle! You are, a miracle." 

"Miracle my ass, you git!" Celeste burst out. "Stupefy!" She furiously yelled.

"Protego." Graves, momentarily disturbed, blocked the curse, and the obscurial--Credence, knocked Graves off his feet and flew away, crashing into objects and buildings.

Celeste, silently thanking Merlin for giving her the miracle of Graves being knocked over, said the first thing that came to her head.

"Impedimenta!" She shrieked, her wand tip igniting before sending a zap towards Graves, who, had just turned to her, suddenly slowed down, and Newt took this opportunity to pull Celeste behind a knocked over car.

"Newt, Celeste!" Tina yelled, from behind another car.

"Tina, it's Credence!" Celeste shouted upsetly. "The obscurus is Credence."

Tina looked confused.

"He's not a child!" She pointed out.

"His peril must be so strong, he s-still managed to survive!" Newt explained.

"Newt, Celeste?" They both turned heads in unison to look at Tina.

"Save him!" She said, before running off to do who-knows-what while Newt grabbed Celeste and Apparated up a building. Newt held his hand up.

"Credence I can help y-" He stopped, ducking and pulling Celeste down so they didn't get decapitated by the dark mass. They both had the same idea, letting go of each other so they didn't slow each other down and ran after the obscurus until the edge of the building, where they both Apparated to the next. Newt had stopped, hiding, but Celeste didn't, and continued chasing after the obscurus, oblivious to Newt's shouts of panicked protest.
