"Why do you have a photo of Celeste in here?" Queenie asked, the corner of her mouth twitching.

"Oh! Um--uh, I--" Newt looked flustered and sad at the memory.

"Wow, you guys had a close relationship.." 

"Please don't read my mind." Newt concluded.

Newt felt the events right before his expulsion play forcefully in his head, and he froze.

"Sorry but I ask you not to."

"I know I'm sorry, I can't help it. People are easiest to read when they're hurting." Queenie looked conflicted, fiddling with her hands.

"I'm, not hurting." Newt lied, forcing a grin at Queenie. "Anyway, it was a long time ago, and she's back now."

"Who's back now?" A voice cut in, and both heads turned to see Celeste walking towards them.

Newt, this time gave a genuine smile when he saw Celeste's curious face.

"You." He replied, and Celeste smiled. 

"Coincidence, isn't it?"

"I'll leave you two alone, need to check on Jacob." Queenie made a quick excuse for the two of them to be alone, and, before the couple could protest, Queenie had already dashed off to find Tina and Jacob.

Newt had started to stare at Celeste, finally taking in her figure, not being able to because of all the interruptions that happened in the past few days.

"Newt? Newt!" Celeste waved her hand in front of Newt's face.

Newt, snapping back to reality, turned red.

"Sorry, just zoned out."

"What, to my beautifulness?" Celeste said jokingly, striking a ridiculous pose, and the both of them broke into fits of laughter.

Yes. Newt thought.

They suddenly quieted down, the two looking into each others eyes. They had walked towards each other.

"I really missed you." Newt whispered.

"Yeah.."

They leaned in, and inches away, they closed the space between the two, lips meeting. Celeste felt a spark of electricity run through her entire body, and Newt, feeling it too, wrapped his fingers in Celeste's hair while Celeste wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing the two closer than ever. But the moment was finished as quick as it started, and they both pulled away, heads touching while they panted, and the both of them laughed.

"Would it be a mistake to say that I've always liked you, Newt?"

"Not at all."

They heard a chorus of clapping, and they jumped apart, turning heads to see Tina, Queenie, and Jacob, all grinning and clapping.

"Took you long enough, we were waiting for that moment to come." Tina joked, as the chorus of claps died down, and Celeste's cheeks flushed pink.

"Where did you guys meet, anyways?" Jacob asked curiously.

"Uh, school." Newt replied.

"School?" Jacob looked excited. "Is there a school, a wizardry school here, in uh, America?"

"Of course," Queenie grinned and looked at Jacob. "Ilvermorny, it's only the best wizard school in the world."

"I heard of that school.." Celeste added in, receiving a shining look from Queenie.
