Leta Lestrange - Tumblr Posts
Why do y’all talk so much about Snape and Draco ? There are more interesting Slytherin’s in the wizarding world that can be talked about. Let’s talk about Regulus Black who defied Voldemort for his house elf and died by himself to stop Voldemort. Especially when the entire world looks down on house elves. Let’s talk about Andromeda Tonks who defied her family and married a muggle born. Then lost her husband, daughter, and son in law in the same year and still found the strength to take care of her grandson. Let’s talk about Narcissa Malfoy, who was the only death eater to not have the dark mark. The woman who hides her cunning and manipulation beneath beauty. She lied to Voldemort, the most powerful legilemens to exist, to save her son and Harry. Let’s talk about Leta Lestrange. A powerful black woman who was bullied at Hogwarts yet didnt become evil. A powerful witch that sacrificed herself to Grindelwald to save Newt and redeemed herself. Slytherin is THE house. They have the high class and elegance. Silver with dark green. Slytherin is cunning and ambition. There are so many layered and deep characters but all I hear is “Snape this” and “Draco that”. Slytherin is way too interesting for people to talk solely about Snape and Draco.
Does anyone else sometimes just stop everything they’re doing and remember that Newt probably had to sit Theseus down and fill him in on the Leta/Yusuf/Corvus story.
Leta: I love you
Me: WHO ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!?!
Barebone siblings change things up
Can you imagine if Chastity and Modesty knew about Grindelgraves when he was trying to use Credence to find the Obscurus. They would both be so suspicious of him, because why on earth is this clearly well off guy who doesn’t care about the Second Salem cause talking to their awkward big brother. As a result Credence would probably be way less trusting of Grindelgraves, and press for his to start teaching him magic. So he would but he would also tell Credence stuff like” don’t expect it to work on the first try, especially since you don’t have a wand” But then Credence succeeds at the spells and keeps succeeding. He starts teaching his sisters when Mary Lou isn’t home and the find out Modesty can do magic but Chastity can’t. And Grindelgraves starts to suspect Modesty is the Obscurus since it obviously can’t be Credence, but Credence won’t introduce her to Grindelgraves. Then the events of the movie happen but w/ out Chastity dying.
Instead of going straight to France, Credence finds his sisters as soon as he re-forms and they escape together, onto the same ship Newt is on. (theres a deleted scene in the movie where Credence does this.) And since 3 people are a lot harder to hide that 1 even with their improvised and untrained magic, Newt finds them. So when the get to England, Newt smuggles them off the boat, and they end up sticking with him because Newt is awkward and shy bu he’s also kind. The know how to tell kind people from cruel ones, after all, they were raised by Mary Lou. Newt sends a letter to Tina and Queenie to let them now Credence survived. So Tina and Queenie visit, which avoids the engagement mix up.
Credence, Chastity and Modesty are all registered as Newt’s adopted children at the Ministry and no one as put two and two together and figured out Credence Scamander is Credence Barebone, the kid Grindelwald is after.So the MOM asks Newt to hunt him, same as in the movie, based on the rumor that Credence is in France. He refuses, but this time he’s not worried about Credence because he know Credence is safely living with him. He finally accepts Theseus and Leta’s dinner invite, on the condition he can bring his kids along. He gets a Howler from Theseus scolding hem for not mentioning he has kids now and of course they can come.
Theseus losses his mind obviously when he realizes Newt’s oldest kid is the kid they asked him to hunt down. Leta thinks it’s hilarious and keeps her fiancé from loosing it at is brother. Theseus and Leta agree to keep it a secret that Newt has adopted the Barebone kids, though Modesty is gong to be going to Hogwarts in two years. Newt still ends up going to France with Jacob, and the Crimes of Grindelwald still happens just without Credence’s role in the movie, though Yusef is still hunting him, and Leta still tells them what happened to her little brother. Everything else stays pretty much the same except in this world the Barebones have lost their new but already much loved Aunt Leta. The MOM still hans’t figured out that Newt’s kids are the Barebones, Theseus is a bit overprotective of them.
Basically, Credence gets love and support and the Barbeone kids gat a good dad in Newt and eventually a good mom in the form of Tina
So I saw ezra miller live
And let me tell you they're God's finest creation
The cursed twin
Pairing Leta lestrange x twin reader
Summary This takes place before Leta goes to Hogwarts. You two were as close as can be then something went wrong.
Warnings none really
A/n I tried to keep it gender neutral
I don't own any gifs used.
" Newt, Theseus there's something I should tell you. " Leta said starting at the group of Newt, Theseus, Queenie, Tina, Credence and Nagini standing in front of her. " What is it?" Newt asked in a soft voice. " You guys might want to sit down for this. " Leta said.
" Before I came to Hogwarts I had a twin his/her name was Y/n. One day we were playing in the near by forest when Y/n pushed me out of the way." " The reason he/she did that is because I didn't realize this before but he/she saved me from a curse that makes him/her become an out of control dragon when he/she feels pain or anger. We never find out who cursed him/her. The coward that cursed my brother/sister left as soon as Y/n got knocked unconscious. " Y/n disappeared shortly after we both received our Hogwarts letter and I haven't seen he/she since. " Leta lestrange finished her story looking up at the others.
" And you think that the dragon that's been terrifying Muggles is Y/n"? Newt asked. " Yes ". Is all Leta said. " If it is him/her I don't think he/she's doing it on purpose. There's only one way to find out..." Leta said trailing off. " And what's that"? Asked Theseus.
“Oh, Newt. You never met a monster you couldn’t love.”
