I was imagining the part where Snape was cradling Lily’s body but replaced them with Percival or Theseus with Newt.
Percival or Theseus (maybe both?) joined the wrong crowd and became Grindelwald’s supporters. The incident in New York happens, Newt is now on Grindelwald’s shit list and marked for death. Percy/Theseus panic and make a deal with the boss to spare Newt’s life.
Of course Newt still gets killed anyway.
Maybe Newt sacrificed himself to protect another like Lily did with Harry, but what is assured, is that he refused Grindelwald. You can mock Newt for many things, but he is no coward and would never bow down to this monster.
Poor Percy or Theseus (or both) holds Newts lifeless body, realizing that they made a horrible mistake and Newt paid the price. It took a precious loved one being ripped away from them to see that.
Graves, Newt, Theseus: Newt pays for Percival or Theseus's Mistake With His Life.
