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
