So after the events of the film Newt and Graves (who are a couple now) took in/adopted Credence and they mentored him until he could go to Ilvermorny for a proper education. When he was at home, Credence was eager to learn everything, every spell he saw, including 1000 Magical Tricks Every Household Needs or Dinner in 15: Comprehensive Cooking Spells for Busy Nights and just random stuff he dug out of Graves' library. One day some Grindelwald supporters sneaked up on him while Newt and Graves were out but Credence only had the random stuff he learned to protect himself so in his desperation he cast a spell like one that makes the spoon stir the soup but because of his deep deep magical potential it actually worked and Newt and Graves rushed home to find two dark wizards spinning in their living room.

I'm partial to Graves/Newt but gen with one of them caring for Credence is also ok. Just give me domestic fluff (please) and super smart and talented Credence using misfitting spells to hilarious results. A 5+1 with more of these would be fantastic! Maybe the 1 is when he used all the (somewhat considered) right spells and pass the auror exam with the highest score.

Bonus: Newt was usually the cook. Graves bought those books to impress Newt on date night but he was so bad at it he just stashed them in the library somewhere so Newt was like ha you topped all your classes in school but you can't even make soup and you tell me Ilvermorny is the best in the world?

I feel like I posted this in the morning but I can't find that post now. If you've seen this somewhere please let me know because I'm a confused puffskein right now.
