He looked as if he were asleep. His eyes closed peacefully, his body relaxed but at the same time the glow he usually has around him was deathly white. I reached out and took his hand in mine as tears filled my eyes.
"His hand feels cold". I tucked it back under the sheet hoping it would warm him up as I choked out, "why is it so cold?" Then I began breaking down in choked sobs not noticing that Newt was slowly coming up behind me. I turned to him and collapsed into his arms once again and he as always accepted me into his arms.
"Shhh, shhh. I'm here for you now, I'm here".
The following week was the funeral and afterwards, his mother actually offered that I am welcome anytime for the holidays or anytime I need a place to call home. The Scamander's treated me like one of their own and gladly accepted me without pity or sympathy, just allowed me to have a place to call home.
A few years later when Newt was in the process of being expelled from Hogwarts because of something Leta caused, I stepped forward to the Head Masters and said that he didn't act alone in the accident, I helped him out with it. And even though Professor Dumbledore tried to defend us, it couldn't stop our expulsion.
As we were on the train back to Newt's farmhouse, he asked me why I did what I did and I told him the same thing he always told me shortly after my brother died.
"You don't need to do this alone. I'm here for you, always and forever". And it was that moment that Newt knew he no longer loved Leta, but he loved me and it was that moment we shared our first kiss.
For the next 13 years, Newt and I were inseparable. We did everything together, I helped him whenever we went to his home to help his mother's Hippogriffs, when we worked in the Ministry for two years and now working on his new book "Fantastic Beasts and where to find them".
As we both went together in search of threatened, endangered or misunderstood species and put them into Newt's magical suitcase, our love grew stronger for one another. We even call ourselves "mum and dad" to our creatures. In fact I was the one who found Pickett and his whole branch in the forests of Norway and as an anniversary present I gave him Pickett who grew much attached to him (maybe because of all the stories I told of him, oops) and he found and rescued one of mine and my brother's favorite creatures from being trafficked in Egypt, a Thunderbird. And Newt gave me the honor of picking a name for our Thunderbird.
I felt that in honor of my brother I would name him my brother's middle name, Franklin but shorten it to Frank. Though Frank and I got along wonderfully well as he was just as protective of me as my brother was or could tell when I was sad thinking about him, I felt in my heart that we couldn't keep Frank forever and he deserved to be free back in his homeland of Arizona.
I'll never forget our voyage to America, all the trouble we got into and the new friends we made with the Goldstein sisters Tina and Queenie and I'll never forget (even though he has) our dear muggle friend Jacob Kowalski.
But another reason I'll never forget about our New York trip and this reason was not for the best, because that was the day I came face to face with my brother's killer.
Gellert Grindelwald.
I remember as he was being taken away by two of President Picquery auras and he stopped right in front of me and Newt, it took every ounce of will power I had to not attack this bastard and end his life like he so easily did my brother 19 years ago. Newt sensing my anger at the time gently pushed me behind him shielding me from him and I heard my brother's killer speak in a haunting whisper before being taken away and locked back up where he belongs.
