[whatarewedoingdude]

It always absolutely fascinates me when casting manages to get someone who ABSOLUTELY looks like a younger version of a character. Like holy shit how did you match features and sound so well??

Theseus

After the fall of Grindlewald, Leta being gone. It took him some years to get used to the idea of being alone. You couldn’t blame him. He lost the love of his life. A woman who sacrificed herself for his safety, and for Newt. To pay for what she had done to her brother. Now, after that. He would spend time with Newt, and all the beasts he had taken care of. ALL of them. From bowtruckles, to moon calves that took up his time. And being a high trained auror, he thought he had a chance. No, wrong. Bruises and cuts later, Newt retired Theseus. A shock, to fire his “own brother.”

That’s when you came along. That big bright smile and a smug grin. You were assigned to his department, to work alongside him. BUT BOY! He could not keep his eyes off you. You were great. More than great. The moment he saw you put down a wizard for trying to harm a muggle. Spewing nonsense about your blood purity. He had it coming. His head was to the ground and your knee planted into the back of his neck. Theseus had to bite his tongue from doing anything rash. After all, he was a nice guy. The leader of the auror department.

He saw you enter Hogwarts when he finally had the ability to speak to you. You had come on behalf of Dumbledore. Newt was even present. You entered the grounds of the quidditch pitch. Of course, Theseus was nervously smiling at you like a fool. He even thought he could lean on a broom from one of the players. Not being used at the time, and now served as a rest for him. To pose proper and charm you with his natural good looks. That is, a whistle called out and the poor man had the broom swept from under him. Careless mistake on his part to do, but now he was on the ground. While Newt got to laugh. “Not me this time, brother.”Oh shut it, will you?” Theseus knew that moment, he was as smitten as the day you arrived.

Months later, he had the courage to court you and take you on dates. Picnics, and even the best teas around Hogsmeade. But you didn’t want tea. You had butterbeer. A warm mug of it, three pints and you were enjoying yourself around him. And the many intimate moments with him. You KNEW Theseus was a switch. He loved it when you tied his hands around his back. Sitting oh so nicely in his office chair at home. Meeting him, you wouldn’t peg the guy to be that way. No, sir. A whimpering mess, as you stroked his erection in your hand. Slick with your saliva. Begging on good graces to fuck you raw into your heat. Grinding on him without a mere thought made him want to ravish you, but as a good auror. He allowed you the satisfaction. Even coming all over himself and on your hands. On most days, he would let you make him tea. A nice cuppa for a relaxing evening home. But no, he didn’t want the tea. He wanted to be on his knees, licking and lapping at your folds. Sucking on clit, while you moaned. Your hands in his hair, while he ate you out. But when he wasn’t a complete submissive to your every beck and call. He was so into you. And he didn’t like to share. Hell, he didn’t even like sharing the toys Mrs. Scamander would give to the boys. One night, after a rough day at work. He thought it would be wise to take you to Hogs head for fire whiskey or butterbeer since The Three Broomsticks was too full of students and other occupants. A couple of the wizards had a keen look on you. To watch you talk and move around. He saw that. So he took you home early, telling you what he saw. You laughed at him for being jealous. “I am not jealous.” Hands on his hips, as he stood there in only his dress shirt and trousers. You poked fun at him for it. You were sadly mistaken. He had you pinned to the bed. He enchanted your wrists to be tied above your head. Both of his hands held your hips up. Thrusting his cock in and out of your cunt. Watching your juices drip out of your heat. He loved your moans, pathetic as they sounded. He turned you over after pounding into you. Letting his cock rub against your folds before going in again. He went to your ear, “am I wrong for being jealous. To not share…” a hard thrust, “What is mine..? Sweetheart. Who do you belong to?” You were a whimpering mess. “Yours.” Saying his name as a worshipping figure to a god. He let his lips kiss along your back. Driving himself into a climax, filling you up with his seed. He chuckled at you, with an exhausted breath and pulled away from you. Watching your legs tremble on your shared bed. After that day, you would purposefully let men stare at you. Because he IS Theseus Scamander.

Harry Potter Fic Recs

Hey guys! I'm back again with more fanfiction recs (ignoring the ungodly amount of work I have to do). This time it's for my childhood fandom, Harry Potter (and obligatory reminder to read the fanfics, not buy the books)! Includes Dramoine, Wolfstar, Jily, Gen, and more (parings both expected and unexpected).

Pre-Marauders Era

Thirty-Five Owls by Letterbalde - Dumbledore/Grindlewald, and old fic, but a classic. 35 letters sent between these two in love old men after Grindlewald's imprisonment. Made me cry.

Love Letters by mautadite - another tragic Dumbledore/Grindelwald story, this time told in reverse.

Metamorphosis by Metalomagnetic - Voldemort travels back in time to kill Dumbledore, but falls in love with him instead. Both hilarious and oddly touching.

silver memories by Space_Samurai - In a pensive, Newt and Thesus Scamander stumble upon memories of Dumbledore and Grindlewald they were never meant to see. Grindledore, and Newt is a good friend in this.

Marauders Era (Both War and School)

Mortal Once More by SheofTheBookAndSong - Regulus Black/Fabian Prewett, but mostly focused on the Black brothers (with minor Wolfstar). Regulus ends up as a spy for the order (essentially taking the place of Snape). With Dumbledore aware of the horcruxes, a lot changes... Deeply sad but good!

Drinking Games by darkbluedark - an AU where Lily creates an alternative to Veritaserum and tests it on the Mauradeurs. A certain rat is discovered quicker. Minor Jily and Wolfstar.

Two Boys Named Harry by PottingPotter Plots - a bitter sweet story about the boy who was Harry Potter's namesake. Also features Jilly at its start.

Loyalty by Fantismal - the villain origin story of Peter Pettigrew. A nuanced and mildly twisted take on how prejudice shapes a person.

Glass of Water by lyin - Lily and Sirius's slow crawl towards friendship in their 6th year divination class. Sweet and vaguely ominous.

Time Travel

Yesterday is Tomorrow (everything is connected) by IAM_Kneazle - Hermione/James, and hands down the best Hermione travels to the Marauders era fic I've ever read - though technically, she's reborn as an Evans. It's hilarious and very period accurate to the 1970s. It also explores the magic system a lot, and its development of Petunia especially is wonderful. Also stands out for starting at 5th year.

Blood and Gold By ObsidianPen - Tom Riddle/Hermione - she travels back in time to kill Voldemort before he rises and ends up getting... more involved than she would have liked. Amazing worldbuilding, particularly of magical America. Dark and twisted romance that has me hooked.

Three's Family by darkbluedark - the fic where Draco and Harry accidentally travel back in time to the Marauder's era - and reveal way too much to the order by complete accident. Somehow both hilarious (I spit out my water multiple times) and deeply tragic.

Golden Trio Era AU (AKA Main Series But Better)

The Shower Slip by Ray_Writes - in a universe where Peter Pettigrew cares enough about his hygiene to secretly shower in the Burrow, Arthur suspects Molly of cheating, and things spiral for the better. Somehow both funny and heartwarming.

that's the art of getting by sarewolf - where Remus is the one to raise Harry, after a distress call at the Dursleys. His self-loathing is at times hard to read, but his relationship with Harry is great. The eventual Wolfstar is bittersweet, but great too.

The Disappearances of Draco Malfoy by speechwriter - Hermoine/Draco, and the best AU fic I've ever read of Harry Potter. What starts as a simple divergence (Draco takes Dumbledore's deal to go into hiding instead of trying to kill him) gradually spirals, as he's slowly forced to confront his own prejudices (and ends up unwillingly horcrux hunting with the trio). Doesn't try to whitewash Draco or the other Slytherins, but provides the nuance and growth that canon lacked. Also unique for having no bashing at all (in fact, rarely for a Dramoine story, Ron is treated better than canon DH). This is sad, but great.

a means to a triumph by Naodrith - Regulus survives and takes the charms position in Harry's second year. A lot changes as a result. Featuring Draco Malfoy getting adopted by Hufflepufs (they're seriously great in this fic), Regulus/Remus, and toxic ex boyfriend Barty Crouch Jr.

honey honey by aenoeskova - the one where Marlene McKinnon becomes Harry's primary school teacher. Featuring little Harry and Dean, and an army of cute, overachieving muggle children. Honestly a love letter to teachers. Based on Matilda.

Crack

Regulus Black and the Way Things Changed: A Not!Fic by imaginary_golux - a series of short notes about how the Harry Potter series would have changed if Regulus, not Snape, was the potions master. Highlights include Sirius glitter bombing Voldemort and Hedwig being the one to defeat him.

justifiably petty by Anonymous - All of Hogwarts is united in one goal: to take down Umbridge by any means necessary. It goes completely off the rails (with a satisfying conclusion). Short.

Wrong Place, Wrong Time by ssrha - not a manipulative Dumbledore, but a deeply alcoholic and fundamentally done one. Featuring Albus breaking his ex Grindlewald out of prison, Lucius Malfoy accidentally becoming a revolutionary, and Harry just being done with all the stupid adults around him. Includes Grindledore, and Ron/Harry.

On the Significance of Names by sshra - Harry decides to work through his tramua by having more children, and giving them increasingly horrible names: includes Dobby Kreacher Potter and Peter Wormtail Potter.

Harry Potter Totally Sucks by dracgotgame - a drunk Dudley Dursley and Draco Malfoy start a hating-on-Harry-Potter club. Minor Drarry.

Modern AU

Careless Texter by GhostofBambi - a Lily/James story where the two of them start texting each other, not knowing who the other is. Super cute.

This Island of Ours by Northernlightz06 - a Jegulus and Wolfstar story, with trans!Regulus. The one where Regulus is a park ranger, Sirius doesn't know he's alive, and the Black family messed everything up (but it's getting better)!

Self-Inserts/OCs But Good

The Company of Another by sleipnirismypbaby - completely ordinary self-insert into Aunt Petunia soon after she gets Harry. A super sweet kid fic (I love Dudley and Harry in this) with some feminist themes.

Cajamarca by CrashingPetals - a Bill Weasley/OC AU that does a great job delving into South American cursebreaker lore! Defenitely enjoyed this one.

Double Trouble by Meeceisme - a self-insert into Draco Malfoy's twin sister, who spearheads a generational revolt of pure-blood girls. Heavy feminist themes, and portrays the Malfoy family sympathetically while not shying away from their bigotry. Sadly unfinished.

Spring is like perhaps a hand by IridescentRoomba - a self-insert into Dudley's younger sister Daisy. Daisy is super cute, and her clumsy attempts to give Harry a better childhood are great. A cute examination of family and 1990s British culture.

Fractured Fairytale by Tsume_Yuki - featuring a Lovegood self-insert in the 1920s who adopts Tom Riddle, and slowly falls in love with his father along the way. Amazing wizarding world building and accurate depiction of Tom Riddle Sr.'s trauma.

Stardust and Secrets by francisthefairyqueen - a self-insert into Regulus and Sirius's much younger sister, Cassiopeia Black. I absolutely love this fic, especially how it starts at the start of Harry's fourth year, only providing small context clues into what happened during the first wizarding war. Really realistic regarding how little self-inserts can do as children, and the world-building of the wizarding world is amazing! Cass is paired with Bill, and their relationship is really cute and innocent. What really blows me away, though, is her effect on the people around her: Draco, Tonks, Hestia and Chiara, and especially her estranged brother Sirius. Enjoyed the inclusion of Hogwarts Mystery characters!

Alright, I gotta rant. Bear with me...

THATS how Fantastic Beasts ends? They bring in the Dumbledore and Grindlewald storyline just to not show us the final duel where Dumbledore gets the Elder Wand? Huh??

Like, you go through the effort of bringing Grindlewald and Dumbledore into a story that was, in my opinion, standing on its own well enough. Fine, I'm not gonna complain about getting to see that on the big screen. Then you beef up the storyline of the two of them and their falling out, to the point of completely overshadowing Newt and Co.'s storyline, leading us to what we thought was the inevitable conclusion of their final duel, the one that won Dumbledore the Elder Wand. And the last movie just... ends? With no resolve to the larger conflict at hand, suddenly caring about wrapping up Newt and the gangs' stories? And there's no plan on continuing it/finishing what you started?

Not to mention, on a technical standpoint, Jude Law and Mads Mikkelsen are incredible together. I would have loved to see more of their dynamic. How it ended just felt like a waste of such great casting. You're gonna bring in two powerhouse actors like that and not show the big finale? Opportunity wasted, like come on.

I was loving Secrets of Dumbledore right up until I realized how it was "wrapping up". IMO they should have made the first movie, sans Grindlewald, and called it a day. Don't start something you're not going to finish. Your fanbase is gonna end up with trust issues.

[inastarlesssky]

So I just finished Crimes of Grindlewald last night. There was a lot going on in that movie. My thoughts about this under the cut.

I'm kind of not sure how to feel about Newt/Leta, Newt/Tina tbh. Like I know Newt and Leta have history, I got that, but I didn't see him in love with her in those flashbacks. I don't think we were meant to, maybe, but I just saw Newt being his adorable younger self and reaching out to Leta. But I don't even know how to feel about Leta actually. Do I like her? Do I dislike her? I don't really know.

So I will admit, I just jumped onto the Newt/Tina ship because in the first movie, they were working together and I thought "Oh, they'd be cute..." and then in this movie, I got the idea that he might love her or have stronger feelings for her. Like when Queenie told him Tina was dating Achilles, and his expression--he looked like he deflated a little bit, a little disappointed or gutted maybe to hear that she was with someone else bc she (mis)understood that he got engaged.

And then later in the French Ministry, he's stammering to apologize to her about the confusion and he's maybe about to say "I'm here to win you back" but doesn't say that. Like I see a man scrambling to confess how he feels, but he never really does. And that particular part when he says "...because I'm not happy, nor engaged." Like is he in love with her? I want to think so, I want to ship them but I don't know...

Also how does Tina guess he was going to say salamanders?

I'm just a little confused with my feelings haha.

But if anything, I love and I will always love Newt, because he's just a loveable dork and I love him.

[tealeavesandthorns]

//I have watched two films today where the plot was wild and barely made any sense.

The first was The Lost Continent from 1968 a hilarious b-movie that just lurched from one thing to the next

And then Fantastic Beasts:Secrets of Dumbledore (2022) - honestly I didn't mind the 2nd movie too much but this one was just bad and wild. I miss the fun of the first one. These movies should have just been fun shenanigans with oh a bit of horrible shit in the background.

They should have been about Newt and Magical Creatures and not goddamn Dumbledore and Grindlewald manipulating every fucker around them.

[lunatheseus]

YESSSSS

I’m a HUGE Fantastic Beasts fan!!! So when I saw the relationships between the characters in the first movie I was so excited! The friendship between Newt and Jacob is adorable, and I could go on about Tina and Newt. But Tina and Queenie kind of disappointed me are a while…

They had such a good relationship at first, Queenie being able to sense when Tina is in trouble, etc.

But then after Queenie joined Grindlewald, Tina all of a sudden wasn’t really relevant in the movies anymore? (Probably because the actress was busy) And then Queenie (looking at her scenes in the 3rd movie) never had a second thought about her sister when she was on the dark side???? It’s so weird because only one movie ago, she and Tina were literally attached at the hip. They lived together and relied on each other so much!

The continuity just never lined up with the sisters… I hope if there’s a 4th movie that they can kind of mend their relationship a bit.

Anyway tysm for sharing your thought!!!

The lack of female friendship scenes in Harry Potter (and what I personally would suggest) - an investigation

One thing that I wished was different in the Harry Potter series is all of the girl to girl relationships! We need more scenes! We need to dive deeper into these relationships!

Exhibit A: Cho and Ginny's "rivalry"

They're both iconic and amazing in their own right, and I feel like they could have had such a great friendship!

Not only did they both absolutely kick ass in quidditch, they both risked their lives to join the Hogwarts war efforts! Cho was already graduated by the 7th book, but she chose to come back and help out! Ginny literally was one of the main leaders of Dumbledore's army!

The only reason why JK Rowling would make them rivals is because of Harry and how he liked Cho, but Ginny liked Harry? LIKE- GIRL- not the girls hating girls because of some GUY... seriously??

We need those scenes where they pat each other on the back after a quidditch match to congratulate each other on a good game. Female empowerment moment, yes? Maybe they show each other tips and tricks on their brooms.

There should be a scene where Cho teams up with Ginny during battle! Where they fight death eaters together!

Exhibit B: Hermione and Ginny's friendship

The only thing that bothers me about this one was that Hermione became friends with Ginny because they were forced to share a room as there was not more space in the Weasley Burrow. It was convenient. While I don't love that, it's ok, it makes sense logically.

There should be scenes where the two girls relate to each other, more scenes where they giggle about boys and talk about the latest books they've read. Maybe they can both complain about Ron and Harry to each other. They practically lived together for a while, so maybe we could get more scenes of them being more sisterly and having a sibling-esque relationship.

Exhibit C: Luna and Ginny's friendship

Correct me if I'm wrong but these two became friends shortly after Ginny was saved by Harry in the Chamber of Secrets. I feel like at that point, everyone kind of shunned/was scared of Ginny, and Luna was the only one who would talk to her. This is fine and all, but there's no in between fluff about how they built up their friendship from there.

We need more scenes where Ginny defends Luna from bullies, or when Ginny ditches her boytoy to comfort Luna. Maybe there's a scene where Luna misses her mom, and Ginny is there to talk it out with her! There is so much potential in this friendship! When Luna gets kidnapped, how does Ginny react?

Regardless, I know that there are other female friendships in HP (like the slytherin ones), but these three are probably the most relevant when it comes to the actual story.

Don't even get me started on how Molly, Hermione, and Ginny all hated on Fleur, or when Molly assumed Rita Skeeter's articles about Hermione being a player were true! Like- did none of the girls really have each other's backs?

Broken souls ch 1

Newt's POV

Sometimes he had a hard time believing how much his life had changed. Once upon a time he had been a happy little boy that looked up to his older brother. Things were much simpler back then.

Asa child he had grown up in a small pureblood family. His mother raised hippogryffs while his father focused in politics. It was there that he learned he had an affinity with animals.

His older brother by seven years did not have this affinity. It was so strange. It had been so long that he could not recall his brother's face. Just part of his name. Thee. That's what he called the older Scammander. It hurt to think about what he had lost. So he tried to avoid it.

Just like with anything there were nights like this, where memories refused to stay buried. On a night when he was just seven years old a man had come to their manor. It was not known how he got passed the wards only that he had.

Unlike most assassins that his family had dealt with at one point or another this one did not use a wand. There was no defending against what he had used. A gun as he would learn it was called. It could fire faster than any wizard and was just as lethal.

Newt had gone down to get a drink of water as the house elf was busy at night. They had to sleep as well had been his thoughts. It was that mistake that changed his life forever.

He found his mother and father dying from gunshot wounds to the forehead. Blood pooled around them soaking his socked feet as he tried to wake them up. The picture still haunted him in his nightmares.

That night he was given a choice. Die by the killer's hand. Or go with him and live. Not wanting to die he went with the man.

For, four years after that he was forced to train with the man. Every day was a battle to survive. He was trained in martial arts and how to fire all different types of guns. In the beginning the assassin tried the gun to his hands so that he would gain the muscles required to fire it.

Then one day a teenage girl a few years older than him killed the assassin. He felt both relief and fear. The assassin was his mentor and had kept him alive for years.

On that night Chronos had taken him in. Before he had never shot at anything but targets. They gave him living breathing people. His once vibrant green eyes dulled.

It had been eight years since he joined Chronos. Two years ago he had become a Number. Easers were just assassins. Numbers were the best of the best. They gave him the the number XIII and the nickname Black Cat. He brought bad luck to anyone unfortunate enough to cross his path.

The only thing that was the same was his love for creatures. When he became a Number they gave him his own apartment. There were a few stray cats that he fed.

Newt sighed as he lay out on the rooftop of his apartment. A tiny grey kitten lay on the top of his chest. Footsteps drew his attention to the fact that someone was coming up onto the roof.

Newt sat slightly up so that he could see the person. A man with black hair and grey eyes. He wore a black trench coat. Under that was a white undershirt and black slacks.

It took a moment but eventually he recognized the other. The man had just moved across the street to the other apartments.

To Newt's trained eye he could see where the other had a wand holster. It was tightly wrapped against the man's right wrist. He was definitely a wizard. He had to admit that he was curious. Most wizards stuck to their manors or apartments in the communities. Newt knew of magic but due to his upbringing didnt know how to use it.

In a handful of times he had lost control over himself. He didn't remember what happened at those points. When he came to the areas had been destroyed. The bodies looking like they had been mauled by wild animals.

His only saving grace was that Chronos didn't care. If they did they would have killed him. This all did make him wonder. What did this wizard want?

The dark grey eyes blinked at him in surprise for a moment. Then the man said in a low rumble, "Pardon me, I wasn't expecting anyone else up here. My name is Percival Graves."

The man closed the space between them. His accent was distinctly American. He knew Chronos was still having problems with some of the figures. That was partially why he was stationed in New York. It would allow him quick access to assassinations when they became necessary.

Newt immediately sat up startling the kitten on his chest. The little one made a disgruntled hiss but obediently moved onto the rooftop. Part of him wondered who could draw their weapon faster? The wizard? Or the assassin?

His weapon was Hades  is an ornate handgun issued to Newt as the 13th member of the Chronos umbers. It is entirely made of Orichalcum, the strongest metal on earth.

His gun is a six-shot double-action revolver with gold engraving on its grip and barrel. The frame has a triangular attachment that bears the Roman numeral XIII on both sides. It possess a rapid-fire trigger for quick shooting.

Hades is a top-break revolver, meaning it is reloaded by "breaking" the pistol in half, exposing the rear of the cylinder. This automatically ejects all cartridges inserted and allows the user to drop in fresh ones. A unique feature of the gun is a five-meter-long retractable wire leash inserted in the grip.

Every Number had a weapon unique to them. Hades was his and his alone. Sephiria had it made for him when his skills proved to be useful.

Graves said with an appreciative look at the weapon by his side, "That's a sharp revolver. I don't have much experience with such weapons."

Newt's eyes went to where he knew the wand was hidden. Maybe if he ignored the man he would go away. Obviously he wasn't looking for a fight.

"You don't talk much do you? That's fine," or not. Why did this wizard want to talk to him?

The wizard sat down on the ground before Newt. Newt didn't move but neither did he speak. This was the first time he had interaction with someone outside of Chronos work. All other interactions ended with someone's death.

The man called Graves said, "Its strange to find someone so quiet around here. My neighbors are nosy and bothersome. That's what I get for being the new person."

Newt could remember his first few weeks. His neighbors would leave him gifts outside his door. He never ate them for fear of being poisoned. It was better safe than sorry after all. He did not envy the attention that the other was receiving.

His green eyes found movement from his little kitten. Newt named the little one Nero when he first met the grey kitten. Han had been starving at the time. If Newt had not taken him in he would have starved to death.

In the time he had known Nero never once had he approached anyone other than Newt. Most of the time he hissed and clawed at anyone who dared pet him.

However Nero did make his way to the wizard. When Graves reached out he didn't scratch the man. It was intriguing to watch.

Was his cat replacing him? If he was Newt wouldn't blame him. Who wanted someone who simply killed? Not many.

Graves inquired curiously, "What's his name?"

Newt almost answered but caught movement in the streets below them. A familiar black suited man was in his street. Waiting for Graves to leave. It seemed he had a mission.

Graves looked at him as he gained his feet. The man inquired, "You're leaving? Good night then."

Newt didn't reply. He made his way swiftly across the roof to the door that led to the stairwell.

At the door he hesitated then rasped his voice hoarse from lack of use, "Nero. His name is Nero."

Then like the shadow he was, Newt was gone.

Graves's POV

When Percival came up to the rooftop across the street he wasn't expecting it to be occupied. He was simply looking to escape his overbearing neighbors.

When Seraphina insisted that he get an apartment in town. Something had spooked her and he was curious. So he agreed to the new placement.

He put wards to keep thieves from getting in. Part of him wanted to put wards up against no mags. It would be suspicious and if there was something happening he wanted to be inconspicuous.

Percival had gone across the street to look out over the city. At first he had not seen the boy laying on the roof. When he did their eyes locked.

The boy couldn't have been out of his teens. He had green eyes that felt eerily familiar. The raspy voice had caught him off guard. Five simple words had him intrigued.

What he saw peaked his interest but he didn't understand why. The Roman numeral was XIII. What did it mean?

[la-zck]

I believe this Dumbledore would actually ask Harry if he put his name in the Goblet of Fire very calmly

And lovingly

A Dangerous Moment - Newt Scamander

A/N: I’m writing this for @newtscamanderimagines because they asked for someone to write this and I absolutely love this idea! Hope it turned out alright!

Request: Reader is female (15) and she absolutely loves all of the creatures he owns. However, one day something happens. One dangerous creature attacked her making her depressed and way too sad and scared to go back in his case. Cried all month etc. Tickles for cheer up?

Newt Scamander would tell his brother that he was at first afraid to let his little sister, you, to stay with him at first. You were only a teenager, 15 years old. He didn’t know how you’d feel benign around his creatures all the time, feeding them and interacting with them. But he gave you a chance, letting you move in with him and traveling with him as long as the trip wasn’t too far.

You surprised Newt, however, during your first night at his home. After you had gone to bed, Newt placed his suitcase down on the floor in his bedroom and climbed down into the zoo that was his suitcase. But after a few hours of sleep, you felt something climb on top of you and sit on your legs. You stirred, trying to move your legs but the weight was too heavy. When you opened your eyes, you were shocked to see a creature sitting on your legs.

“Hi,” you said gently, sitting upright slowly. “You’re a Demiguise, aren’t you?” The creature looked at you with wide blue eyes, then reached its long arms out to you. You let the creature wrap its arms around your neck and legs around your waist, then you stood. Slowly you made your way to Newt’s room. “Are you Dougal?” You asked the Demiguise and it nodded softly.

Newt wasn’t in his room, but you spotted his suitcase and opened it slowly. Making your way down the ladder, you felt the Demiguise grip you a bit tighter. You reached the bottom and your eyes widened in aw. There were magical creatures everywhere. You could see an occamy nest in the distance, and a thunderbird, too.

“This is awesome!” you exclaimed.

Dougal unwrapped himself from you and fell to the ground, taking your hand in his as he dragged you through the case. You followed, looking around at all the creatures as you were making your way through the case. Soon enough, you could see your older brother feeding mooncalves, sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

The wizard caught a glimpse of you through the corner of his eye, and did a double take, “Y/N? Why are you down here? You shouldn’t be here!” He abandoned the mooncalves as Dougal let go of your hand and climbed onto Newt’s back. “You could get hurt!”

Your eyes dimmed slightly, and you lost some of your smile. “I’m sorry. Dougal woke me up. I brought him back here and he led me to you.” You looked away from your brother. “I’m sorry, I’ll go back to bed. Sorry to bother you.”

You turned to walk away, but said one thing before you left. “Oh, and the Nifflers are sniffling. I noticed while Dougal brought me back here. You might want to check that out.”

“Wait.” You turned back to your brother, hair falling in your face and hiding Newt slightly. “You know what some of my creatures are?”

You moved the hair from your eyes and nodded. “I read your book, Newt. And sometimes I read articles about them.” You shrugged, turning away again. “But it’s no big deal. Just let me know if you need any help. I know a few things.”

From that night on, Newt let you work with him and his creatures. He had rules, though. He had to be with you whenever you were working with a dangerous creature, or one you didn’t know how to handle. Over time you were allowed to work with almost all of the creatures in Newt’s case, though.

You loved your new ‘job’ so much. You got to work with creatures as well as spend quality time with your brother. Everything was perfect until one night. You were feeding the nifflers before turning in for the night, having already fed the other creatures that Newt allowed you to tend to. As you were scooping handfuls of weeds and shrubs into the nifflers’ feeding bowls, your wand fell out of your pocket and rolled a few feet away. Thinking nothing of it, you got up from your kneeled position at the bucket of plants and walked over to your wand.

You noticed a hole in the ground near where your wand landed. You spared it a quick thought, noting how you didn’t remember seeing that hole there earlier. Then you kneeled down to pick up your wand.

You felt it before you saw it. A stinging pain coursing through your body, radiating from your hand. You cried out in pain, falling back on your butt as you gripped your hand to your chest. You could see a creature scurrying away out of the corner of your eye. You hadn’t ever seen it before, and you were sure you knew every creature in Newt’s case by now.

The pain quickly became too much to bear and your screaming was getting louder. You couldn’t sit up, tilting to the side and collapsing on your back. Your vision was fading, but you could hear something off in the distance. Through your faded gaze you could see Newt running towards you, then he was beside you.

You couldn’t remember much after that.

You wouldn’t go back into Newt’s case after that night. Even now, two weeks later, you haven’t even been able to look at a creature without bursting into tears and going into a panic. The only one you could stand to see was Picket, but only because you had been around him for years.

Newt was on edge, he’d admit. He wasn’t sure how to help you. He was so petrified when he heard you screaming that night. He thought you were being attacked by Grindlewald and his followers. But then, as he was running to you, he saw one of his venomous creatures running away from where he could hear you screaming.

You were pretty much out of it by the time he got to you. You were still conscious but Newt knew what creature had bit you, judging by the wound on your hand and said creature running past him earlier. There was no one attacking you, which was somewhat of a plus. But that didn’t change the fact that Newt was scared out of his mind. He knew how dangerous that creature was, and he wasn’t even sure how it had escaped its enclosure, but that was another problem for another time.

Newt had to pick you up and carry you back to the shed at the entrance of his case, quickly digging through all of his remedies and medicines to find what would help ease the pain and fight of the venom from the creature that bit you.

Once you recovered, you wouldn’t step foot anywhere near Newt’s case. To be honest, it saddened him that you no longer wanted to help him care for his creatures, but he understood why you were so afraid. The one thing he didn’t know how to handle, however, was the fact that you rarely left your room nowadays. He’d come in, bringing meals for the both of you and eating with you., but that was all he really could do. You spent a lot of time crying, he could hear it through the walls. You didn’t speak much anymore, either. Newt wasn’t sure if your actions were out of pure fear or if they were unknown side-effects from the treated venom.

He tried talking to Thesius, but his brother wasn’t much help. In fact, Thesius wasn’t happy with Newt for letting you around his creatures. In fact, he said, “Newt. This is your problem. Now you fix it.” What a beautiful brotherly support.

Eventually Newt had had enough. You needed to at least go outside and see some sunlight. You were looking worse and worse every day and he couldn’t stand seeing you like this. So one afternoon he gently knocked on your door and entered your room.

“Hey, Y/N,” he greeted quietly. “Can you please come outside with me? You need to see some sunlight.”

Your red puffy eyes glanced up to him. You had been crying again. “No thank you.” Newt sighed, lowering himself to sit beside you on your bed. He looked upset, and you couldn’t help but think that it was because of you. “I’m sorry.”

“I’m worried about you,” Newt admitted. “I know you’re afraid of my creatures now, and that’s ok. But please, you need to take care of yourself and I’d like you to at least see some sunlight.”

You shook your head slowly. “No. There could be creatures out there.”

Newt took a moment to think, then grinned slightly. As he turned to face you, you tilted your head in confusion. “What?” His movements were too fast for you and you had no time to defend yourself. Newt pushed himself forward, forcing you to lay down on the bed as he pinned you down. Then his fingers glided over your sides, causing a loud laugh to burst out of you. You tried to push Newt off of you and he continued ‘torturing’ you but it was no use. He was much bigger and stronger than you, and you didn’t stand a chance against him.

Newt continued to tickle you until you couldn’t breathe and he was concerned you’d begin to hyperventilate. Your brother finally leaned back, giving you room to move away from him, still giggling. “Why’d you do that?” you asked through gasping breaths.

Newt smiled softly. “Because I’m tired of seeing you so upset. If you won’t go outside then maybe at least I can get you to smile here inside.”

You scooted over to sit next to your brother, resting your head on his shoulder. “Thanks, Newt. Hopefully I’ll get comfortable enough again to work with your creatures soon.”
