Theseus Scamander X Male Reader X Brother! Thomas Shelby

|| Masterlist ||

Summary: Reader is secretly dating Theseus Scamander a man that neither of his families or brothers know about so what happens when Thomas finds out that is little brother is seeing a man that is a little older than him? Let alone a wizard that is hiding from society? How will the reader explain to his family that Theseus is a wizard and how will he explain to Theseus that his family is a poplular gang known in both London and Birmingham?

Warnings: language, slight angst, some fluff, Theseus being a good boyfriend, Thomas being protective, some crossover between the peaky blinders and the wizarding world, newt being a cinnamon roll!

“Were have you been?”

Y/n gasps in surpise as he turns around to see is older brother, Thomas, sitting at the table with a cigar between his lips. It was was midnight and the room was dark, only one candle was lit and somehow it wasn’t enough light to see the rest of the room. “What?” Y/n stutters out nervously, Latelty he’s been sneaking out to see his boyfriend, who by the way lived in London and it was rare for him to visit due to his work keeping him busy.

“Y/n, its late and dark and dangerous, so—“ Thomas stands up from his chair and puts out his cigar in the ashtray that was nest to the candle. “Where were you?” He asks again, his tone being serious this time as he eyes y/n.

Y/n was consider as the baby of the family even though he wasn’t the youngest one, he was actually a few years older than Finn and somehow they still treated him like a baby and his family and brothers were very protective of him. They saw y/n as the innocent type since he wasn’t the one to into his brothers business or to be around whores. No, he wasn’t any of that becuase he was a gentlemen and kind to others, he never smoked or drank neither did he fancy women, he wouldn’t bat an eye at any of them. Something his brother didn’t know about yet.

“I was with a friend, they were visiting town and we decided to catch up by going to the bar.” He mumbles out, trying to lie his way through this one but he already knows that his brother can see right through him. Feeling Thomas’ eyes on him causing him to frown a little. “Who was this friend?” He questions as y/n glares at his older brother. “Why should I tell you? So, that you can look him up and scare him off just like you did to the rest of my friends that you’ve met?” He shot back with crossed arms.

He couldn’t allow his brother to know about his secret. “He can be dangerous.”

Y/n scoffs at Thomas and opens his mouth to say something back to him but quickly stops himself. “Wait...did you say ‘he’?” He questions as he noticed thomas’ lips pull up into a small smirk, causing his own eyes to widen in realization. “You’re not a good liar, y/n.”

“Where you spying on me?!” He hisses out in silence, not wanting to wake up the rest of his family as he clenched his hands into fists. “Not spying, I just happened to see you with a man, you looked rather happy leaving his palce.” Said Thomas as he approaches y/n. “So, tell me who was this man?”

Y/n looks away, he’s kept this secret hidden for two years and he always thought that he was going to make it a little longer but turns out that his time is up. Thomas now knows the truth and before he knows it he’ll be scaring him off too and he’ll end up alone again just how his brothers wanted.

Looking away from his older brother he gives in.

“His name is Theseus and we’ve known each other for two years and he was visiting today. We haven’t seen each other is days and he took the day off from work to come and see me...he’s a really nice guy but knowing you and the others you wouldn’t approve.” He mumbles out, glancing up to see Thomas’ face. He was expecting to see a hint of disappointment or disgust now that his secret was out but he wasn’t able to read his brother. He didn’t know what he was thinking and it was slowly freaking him out.

“Last name.”

Y/n lets out a sigh through his nose, looking down as he quietly answers. “Scamander.”

With that his older brother steps away and walks past him, heading towards the door and without saying anything else he leaves the flat. Hearing the door shut behind him causes him to break down. Knowing that this was officially the end of his relationship.

The next morning he was sitting at the dinning table, eating his aunt Polly’s breakfast as he silently stares out the window. His brother hasn’t returned yet and he was expecting him to come back with a smile on his face but instead he gets a grumpy set of brothers that walk through the door. Thomas slamming it closed as y/n looks over to see his brothers walk over to him, standing around the table as the towered over him. This causes y/n to shrink back in his seat as Polly stares at the others with a confused look.

“The man you were with last night, who was he?” Tommy asks as he stands over y/n with a harsh glare. “I—“

“Theseus Scamander, who is he?!” He shouts this time, causing y/n to flinch as he stares at his older brother and then over to the rest of them. He studies his brothers, taking them in one by one as he suddenly puts the puzzle pieces together, causing him to grin widely. “You didn’t find anything did you?” He challenges his brothers, knowing that it wasn’t making them any happier.

Y/n can only giggle at the realization, not only could his brothers not find out about Theseus but also becuase they don’t know that his boyfriend isnt really from around here.

“Y/n this is serious!” Her hears thomas say but continued laughing.

“What’s going on here?” Said Polly as she steps up to glare at the boys who only gave her a simple glance. Thomas was the first to start explaining their small situation. “Little y/n, here has been seeing someone—“

“A women?”

“No, a man.” Said Thomas. “A man that we can’t figure out, we’ve tried looking into his files but nothing came up and I even sent out my men to search for someone that went by the name Theseus Scamander and we came back with nothing.” He hisses out as Polly takes in the information and frowns. “Thomas this is your brother, you should know that he too can be a good liar.”

This causes y/n to cough. “Actually Polly, I didn’t lie. I told Thomas who he was and his real name, what’s funny is that he can’t seem to find him anywhere.” He slowly stands up from his seat and collects his plates. “And you’ll never find out who he is.” He says the last part darkly as he puts his dirty dishes away and heads up the stairs towards his room, ignoring his brothers calls as he slams his door shut behind him.

He leans back against the door and lets out a deep sigh before pushing himself off, heading towards the window he slides it open and sticks his house out. “Lucy.” He whispers out as he looks around the roof top and grumbles. “Lucy!” He calls out again and gets a hoot in response, causing him to look up to see the white owl standing at the edge of the roof top. Y/n chuckles and extends his arm out, causing the owl to fly down and land softly on his arm as y/n moves back inside the room. “I have a letter for you to send to Theseus.” He sets the owl at his desk and pulls out an envelope.

Good thing he was able to write this letter last night, explaining everything about his family and brothers. Theseus knew that he was a muggle and promised to keep his secret about him being a wizard, he told him a bit about his family but he feels like he hasn’t exactly told him everything so, last night he took his time to write down a huge explanation about his family and he hopes that he doesn’t loose Theseus over this but yet again his family is a gang and they are known for their name.

“Here,” he hands the sealed up letter to Lucy who chirps in return to takes the letter. He helps carry her back outside as he sighs, “be safe.” He adds before watching Lucy fly off into the air. He leans against his window seal as he watches Lucy grow smaller each time to got farther away. “Now, we wait.” He tells himself as he closes the window and curtains. Instead of going back downstairs to face his family he decides to stay locked indoors, not really in the mood to see anyone right now. So, instead he lies in bed and waits for Theseus to respond back.

“Thee, you got another letter.”

Theseus looks up to see his little brother standing by the doorway of his office, holding a letter in hand as he approaches slowly. “Who’s it from?” He asks as Newt sets it down on his desk where Theseus picks it up and checks to see who it is from, Turing it around he sees the name written in nice hand writing and in cursive.

Y/n Shelby

“Its from y/n.” Said thesues with a small smile on his face.

“Must be important, y/n doesn’t usually write.” Newt said, causing worry to hit Theseus. His brother was right, y/n rarely wrote and seeing a letter come in today after seeing each other just yesterday could mean anything.

He gives newt a glance and opens up the envelope, pulling out the letter as he unfolds it and leans back in his seat, reading it silently as newt sits by the fire, drinking some tea with Pickett standing on the table, trying to steal some biscuits from his plate but of course Newt wasn’t allow that.

Theseus on the other hand was reading his lovers letter;

Dear, Thesues

You’re probably asking yourself as too why I am writing since I rarely send you anything, only during urgent times like that last time when our anniversary hit and I sent you a last minute gift by owl. I was actually a little worried, how can such a small creature carry something so big without dropping it? But, of course you always tell me that it involves magic so I let it be and just continued on with sending you stuff, but made sure that they were small items. But anyways, your probably wondering what this letter is for, well you see...I’ve told you about my brothers and how overprotective they can be and last night while you were visiting my older Thomas saw us leaving the hotel last night and he wasn’t too happy about it.

I’m not saying that he doesn’t accepts us—to be honest I don’t even know if he approves or not but he spent all night looking through government files about your family and turns out that he didn’t find anything due to you living someplace else with your own magically government and I was actually happy that he didn’t find more about you but I can’t help but be worried for us.

Theseus, you’ve told me about your family and your world and I feel like I should tell you who my family really is and you see, my family are the Shelbys, we are known as London’s most dangerous people and my family deals with alcohol and horse racing. I’m not really involved with it since I wish to have a normal life but knowing my brothers they won’t allow me to be happy, too afraid that something bad will happen to me. If you’ll like you can try to look my family up and I promise you that you won’ t find anything good about them and I understand if you want to stop seeing each other, I don’t want to expose your world to mine and ill allow you erase my memories so that you can feel safer.

I didn’t want to keep any secrets anymore but now I’m afraid of losing you, but I understand that your wizarding community comes first. Their safety comes first and I dont want to be the one to expose your world. So please, think about what your going to say so that I can be prepared for what’s to come.

Love, Y/n Shelby

Theseus sets the letter down, leaning back in his chair as he takes in the information that y/n had given him. “Thee?” He looks over to see his brother standing next to him with a small smile. “I know its none of my business but, I think you should write back to him...he’s a good man and a good friend.” He said softly as Theseus looks away. He and y/n have been together for two years and they always told each other everything so he knew why y/n would fear his family, afraid of them finding out about him being a wizard, being a powerful human being that can do anything.

Knowing more about y/n’s family did upset him but he loved him with all his heart, for the first time in his life he was actually happy. He’s always wanted to come back home with y/n waiting for him so that the two could kiss and share the same bed. He knows that the ministry can be busy but he always makes time for his loved ones. So, no matter how bad y/n’s family is he isn’t going to let this destroy his happiness.

“You’re right, newt.”

“I am?” He says a little baffled as Theseus chuckles at his brother.

He sits up and grabs some parchment and a quill. “For once you are newt,” he leans forward to starts writing his response.

“Is he nice?”

“Yes.”

“...how old is he?”

Y/n rolls his eyes in annoyance as he sets the paper down. “Aunt Polly I’ve told you before, I’m not saying anything else that’ll only upset you more.” He states out. Its been two weeks since he’s sent Theseus that letter and so far he thinks that their relationship has ended, jus the Thomas wanted all along. “Besides, Thomas scared him off so their is nothing to know about him.” He pushes himself off the couch and makes his way towards his aunts kitchen. He’s been staying with her for the last couple of days, not wanting to face his brothers until he apologizes for what he did but he doubts that his brother would apologize.

“I just want to know who this man was that you were seeing for the last two years.” Said Polly as she sits on the dinning table, giving him a small grin as she says. “I want to know the man that made my nephew happy.” Y/n silently makes himself a cup of tea, avoiding his aunts stare as he bites his lip. “He was a perfect man and a kind lover.”

“Oh.”

He blushes. “He’s also a hard worker, its only him and his brother Newt; his father died in the war and his mother died from an illness leaving the two on their own...he’s the oldest so he watches over his little brother—kind of like thomas.” He shrugs a bit as he sets some water to heat up. “He’s different, he’s not like the other men that I’ve met before; he doesn’t think with his cock.” This causes his aunt to laugh out, bringing a small smile. “Theseus was just—perfect.” His smile soon disappears into a sad one. “And now its all gone, thanks to Thomas.” He turns back to the boiling water, removing it from the stove and pouring some into his teacup.

His aunt watches him as she leans back in her chair. “thomas can be a little overprotective.”

“A little?”

“Alright, a lot! But, y/n you are the baby in the family.”

“Funny how I am the baby when I am ten years older than Finn.” He responds back with a frown on his face.

“What I’m trying to say is; you’re different from everyone else. You don’t go around causing trouble and you wish to be normal, darling you don’t even drink nor smoke I’d say, your barely a Shelby at all.” She explains as he sits across from her. “Thomas doesn’t want you going down the same path as him or the rest of your brothers, which is why he wants to protect you.” Y/n sighs at Polly, listening to her explanation as he stares down at the tea.

“Well you should all know that I’m not a baby anymore, I can take care of myself and I don’t need you all to be spying on me! What I am doing shouldn’t concern you if you know that I’m not like my brothers then maybe you should stop looking out for me...I mean, focus on what is happening with our deals and relationships with other gangs. For all we know, tommy could be getting shot at without us knowin and yet you all worry about me.” He huffs, taking a large drink of his tea. Burning his tongue a little as he cringes in pain.

Polly frowns. “We do this becuase we love you, y/n and we want you to be happy but also we want to make sure that you don’t get hurt while you are alone! Your brothers almost got killed by Solomons last night!” She blurts out as y/n looks away. “If you want me to be safe than let me go.” He says, causing his aunt to gap at him in shock. “Ada has tried to live normal and that didn’t work but I have a chance to be normal if you let me go.”

Polly sighs as she reaches over to takes one of his hands into hers, holding it tight as she slowly nods. “I think you should leave too...if that makes you happy than go.” She gives him a reassuring smile as y/n smiles back. “I’ll help you, we can get you a ticket to London and I’ll make sure to give you some money.”

“I won’t be needing money where I want to go.” He adds in as his aunt raises a brow, causing him chuckle. “Trust me, I know where I want to go.”

Before his aunt could say anything they are cut off by a small tapping on the window. This causes y/n to look over and see Lucy perched upon at the window with a letter in her beak.

“Lucy.” He breaths out, quickly he stumbles out of his chair and heads towards the window. Pushing the window open he allows Lucy in who flies in and finds a cozy spot next to the fire place.

“What the bloody hell is that thing doing here?” He hears Polly say but he ignores her and takes the letter from Lucy who only squeaks in return.

He stares at the envelope, seeing the Scamander heirloom on the front and seeing his name on the back.

Nervously he rips open the envelope and pulls out the letter. Too afraid to see what he says he looks over to his aunt, not knowing what to say.

“This lover of yours must be rich if he can have an owl sending you letters.”

He chuckles at his aunts statement before looking back down the folded up letter. Taking his time he unfolds the letter and reads the black ink writing.

I want to meet your family

Y/n’s eyes widen, “what is it?” Polly asks as he licks his lips. “He—he wants to meet you all.”

“Brave man.”

Y/n nods in return as he looks back at the letter and looks below to see extra writing.

I’ll be Visiting on Thursday, meet at the same spot as usual and don’t be late.

“Thursday, Thursday—“ y/n looks around frantically and picks up the newspaper that he was reading this morning.

Checking the date his eyes widen as it read; October 7th, 1927

He looks over at the calendar to see that the 7th was in fact a Thursday, which meant that Theseus will be arriving today.

Pacing around anxiously by the tunnels he starts to think about what was going to happen today. His aunt had called in everyone for a family meeting and explained to them that Theseus was going to visiting, wanting to meet his family.

Y/n was actually afraid about this, he didn’t know if this was actually a good idea at all and he knows it!

“Y/n.”

He froze in spot and looks up to see Theseus standing at the end of the tunnel.

“Theseus...” he breaths out as he slowly steps forward.

Theseus was making his way towards him as he frantically tried to explain. “I’m sorry thee, I didn’t expect my brother to find out and I know your upset because I lied to you and I just—“ he is cut off by Theseus cupping his face and pulling him into a deep kiss.

Y/n gasps as he stands still, not knowing what to do as Theseus pulls away softly and leans his forehead against his. “I’m not upset or angry I’m just—“ he sighs deeply. “I’m actually nervous.”

Y/n rasies his brows in surprise. “Really?”

“Yes, really.” He says back as the two chuckle at each other.

“All my life I’ve been looking for someone who’d love me for who I am, I don’t care if your a muggle and your family are all gangsters. All I want is to spend the rest of my life with you, I want to come home everyday to you and be able to sleep on the same bed.” He strokes y/n cheek with his thumb as he smirks. “So, once this is over we are leaving to London and I want to get married.”

Y/n eyes widen. “M—married? Theseus that isn’t allowed here.”

“No, it’s not. But where I’m from it’s legal, a muggle and a wizard can get married as long as your society doesn’t know then will be fine.” He explains, looking down at y/n to see him smiling with tears in his eyes. “Then let’s get married.” He whispers back, leaning up to give Theseus a kiss.

“This is him?” Arthur points at Theseus, scoffing as he looks at him up and down. “Scamander, funny name ain’t it?”

“Arthur.” Both y/n and Polly say at the same time which comes to shock the brothers.

Arthur can only grumble as he stares at the others with a disapproving look, Arthur was always disapproving of everything.

The rest of the brothers stayed silent, until Finn was the first to step up. He walks over to Theseus and extends his hand out to shake, “I’m Finn, the baby of the family but they don’t really treat me as one since y/n took that spotlight from me.” Y/n shakes his head and chuckles.

Theseus gives Finn a smile and shakes his hand. “Theseus, your brother doesn’t talk much about me for reasons but he does speak highly about you.”

“Really?” Finn grins at y/n who rolls his eyes. “Alright, we get if your the best brother.” He murmurs out as Finn giggles and lets go of Theseus hand.

John was up next, introducing himself as well as the two shake hands. “Names John, I used to share beds with y/n each time he had a nightmare but from the looks of it you seemed to have stolen my job.” He smirks at the two as y/n blushes deeply. “John!”

Theseus laughs. “To be honest we haven’t shared a bed together, I’ve been busy working in London that we only have enough time to have dinner together.” He explains, this shocks the brothers a little bit.

They know that y/n doesn’t ‘sleep’ around with anyone but they all expected him to be sleeping with Theseus by now since they’ve been together for two years, but once this information came out. Now they know that their brother must be really innocent!

Ada is the third one to greet Theseus, instead of shaking his hand she immediately hugs him, catching Theseus by surprise but of course he hugs back. Y/n grins and leans close, “He’s a hugger.”

“I can tell.” Ada laughs out as she pulls away and gives him a small pat on the shoulder. “I might say; you’ve got a handsome one, you said he has a brother right?” She teases out.

Theseus smiles. “Yes, Newt but unfortunately my brother is actually engaged.” Ada pouts, “Well it was worth a try, he must be a very handsome man as well, maybe a gentleman too.”

“Oh believe me, he’s something.” Both y/n and Theseus say.

They continued on with meeting everyone properly. Theseus seems to get along more with his aunt Polly and Ada, he tries to speaks to his brothers and of course arthur is still not amused but he too tries to get to know Theseus.

So far, everyone is happy to know who his mysterious man was. All but Thomas, he’s been sitting by the corner watching Theseus carefully.

Tommy was going to be the hardest to get aporoval from since he was seen as the higher upper. Whatever choice Tommy made was the choice that everyone had to either agree or disagree too.

“Tommy.”

Y/n calls out for his brother who’s gaze slowly turns to him. He was nervous and fidgety, “I know you hate the idea of me being with a man but, can you at least talk to him or get to know him?” He pleads out.

“It’s not the idea of you dating men, what bothers me is that your growing too fast.” This catches y/n off guard.

“Tommy I’m not a child anymore, I’m twenty eight and I know how to take care of myself. Theseus has done nothing to make me feel uncomfortable and he’s patient too.” He sits next to his brother, looking over to Theseus as he bites his lip nervously.

“Theseus proposed to me.”

Thomas’ eyes widen.

“I’ll be leaving tonight to live with him.”

“Y/n—“

“Before you say anything, hear me out!” Y/n turns to face his brother properly. “I know what you and the others think about me and I know that you want me to have a normal life and far away from all this and that is what I’m doing. I’m leaving to London Tommy, to a place where no one knows me—a place to restart, so I need you to let me go.” He explains to his brother. “I promise to visit whenever I can, Theseus isn’t someone who’ll keep me locked up. He knows his precious my family is to me and he won’t ever do something to keep me from seeing you all.”

Thomas Can tell that his brother was being serious about this, about leaving and starting a new life. He’s always watched over him, watching him grow throughout the years only to see him leave.

He looks over to Theseus who was speaking to their aunt and brothers, getting along just fine before turning back to y/n, giving him one of his rare smiles. “Go, go and get married and live a normal happy life.”

Y/n smiles widely and leans over to hug Thomas who also hugs back. “Thank you.” Said y/n as he pulls away from his older brother.

Thomas chuckles and stands up. “Right then, let go meet your fiancé and see if he fits too my satisfaction.” Y/n laughs, “I think you’ll like thee very much, he reminds me a bit of you.” He adds before watching his brother head over to Theseus. Giving him a proper greeting as y/n leans back against the wall with a smile on his face.

This was his family and home but it was time to move on and to restart once again.

“Have you ever heard of the term, Obscurus?” (Newt Imagine) Pt. 2

Hope you guys enjoy this mini series! Only I think two or three parts more to go.

Heres some, how you say, “fluff” for ya ;)

You woke up in the morning in your room, tucked into your bed. The sun shone throughout the slits of unevenly closed curtains and your dorm mate was nowhere to be found. Rising groggily from underneath your sheets, you immediately felt your head spin and your stomach tighten… already reminding you that the night past was not, in fact, a bad dream. You sighed heavily- already feeling the need to control your emotions only having opened your eyes ten second ago. You looked at your bedside table- 11:40. You felt your heart quicken as you realized you’d missed half the day’s classes.

You just got told you’ve been unknowingly repressing powerful dark magic for years and you’re worried about missing class.

You sighed as you rolled out of bed, the cold floor stinging your feet as you made your way, catching yourself on the bed frame for balance, to the common room. You’d still been dressed in your robes, and you wanted to find out as soon as possible where Newt had gone. You had no idea how late you’d been up the night before, but all the tie in the world would not have been enough- nor would ever be enough, to spend in Newt’s arms.

“He’s still in the common room,” Alicia, your dorm-mate gently spoke from the other side of the room. The dark curtains nearly blacked out the entire room and you’d hardly noticed her sitting in the black cushioned chair. You looked back at her, but before you could ask; “He didn't leave all night. When we brought you up, I told him I could come get you when you woke up- but he insisted.” Your heart swelled as she spoke.

“Is everything okay, (Y/N)?” She asked, her soft eyes and gentle tone ringing with concern. You looked at her, unable to nod… but gave her a light smile. She stood up from her seat and walked towards you looking you over before pulling you into a tight hug. “If you need anything, I’m right here.” You sighed into her embrace and silently thanked God for her presence in your life.

“(Y/N)!” Newt called groggily as he stood from the black sofa you’d both shared last night. You walked over to him, sitting him down and smiling to yourself as you placed the dark green blanket back over his warm, yellow Hufflepuff uniform. He grabbed your hands and pushed the blanket away, his eyes staring into yours with no less worry than he’d done last night.

“(Y/N), what happened?” His voice was so full of concern and worry- you had no idea how you could ever tell him…

He’d sat all night in the common room for you. What would he make of that time once you told him?

He’d hate you, your subconscious spat from within you.

You grabbed his hands and shook your head gently. “Please, (Y/N),” he continued, “let me be here for you.” You smiled half-heartedly, attempting to lighten the mood as you joked he already was. But his eyes only fell on you somberly as his hands gripped yours. “(Y/N),” he spoke, waiting for you to begin. You took a deep breath.

“My parents-,”

“Did they find them? Did you not like who they were?”

Oh how he’d hate you after this. You’d completely lied to him about your parents. Stating they had left you in an orphanage when you were a baby and never got to meet them. That you’d grown up in the orphanage your whole life until you were delivered your acceptance to Hogwarts.

But you could barely nod your head.

“(Y/N), seeing you like that last night...” he lingered on the memory for a moment, his hands cupping your face as his thumbs gently stroked your cheeks. “Seeing you like that... It nearly broke my heart.” You looked away from him, but continued leaning into the warmth of his touch. “(Y/N), what aren’t you telling me?” He spoke, concern and worry full in his tone. He knew you too well.

You took a deep breath and felt tears begin to fall out of your eyes. Newt’s fingers fell beside your face, wiping them away as you began to shake again.

“Love,” he murmured with concern- his arms instantly enveloping you tightly as they had last night. He placed a gentle kiss on your forehead and asked you softly if you’d prefer to go to your room. With a huff, you searched the common room, making sure no one would hear what you needed to say. You trusted Newt with your entire life. And if you couldn’t share who you were with him, how were you supposed to gain that trust in return?

“It’s so cold outside, why are we leaving?” I wondered as I watched Mummy and Daddy hurriedly gather their belongings, being instructed to stuff my own into one of the smaller suitcases as well. Mummy and Daddy didn’t look at me or talk to me. And when I kept asking where we were going, Daddy only replied; “Shhh!”

Once they finished packing, Mummy grabbed my suitcase and led me abruptly out the door into the black night. A man in a dark red coat waited outside our home and took my case when we approached.

“It’s all ready. Take her to the school. They’ll keep her there.”

Mummy quickly turned back into the house, but not before I grabbed the end of her dress in my small hand.

“Where are you going?” I asked her, confusion sprawled across my face. She looked back at me, her eyes dark and foreboding. It made a sweat run through me. I’d never seen mummy look like that. Especially at me.

Instead of answering, she turned back into the house. Signaling behind me with a small nod, the man in the red coat was suddenly pulling me towards a dark black car. I called out to mummy, but she didn’t turn back. I called out again. And when she still didn’t look back, I screamed for her. My arms outstretched, my heart nervously thumping in my chest.

“Mummy!” I yelled, my voice hoarse with desperation.

“Take her now! Go! There’s no time for appearances!”

And then, in a whirl of greens and yellows and blacks… a combination of colors I would soon find being linked to the “Apparation” spell, we were gone.

From that day forward, even at the mere mention of my family’s name, my care-takers reprimanded me. They stated that if I knew what was best for me, I wouldn’t mention them to anyone. If I wanted to live a normal life, I would heed such advice. But I wanted to know why. I needed to know who they were.

“You want to know who your parents are?,” Tilde, the man in the red cloaks wife snapped, pounding the tip of a dagger she polished into the wooden table. With hauntingly black eyes, she stared at me; “They’re the bloody devils themselves.”

And she told me. She told me how they had once been the best line of defense in using magic against the dark arts- how they’d worked for the very Minister of Magic himself. Until they killed him. And his cabinet, and then nearly the entire force of the Ministry themselves.That the whole thing had been about power. They were pureblooded Wizards- both of them- and they felt it their duty to prove the affect of their relentless powers against the Wizarding community. They relinquished their dark magic- all that repressed, bubbling anger that twisted and contorted inside them- towards anyone, and everyone. Even their own kind.

“It was all about power.” She spoke. Haunting you for weeks.

You told Newt that despite Tilde’s best efforts to persuade me otherwise, you’d gained the courage to write them a letter over the Summer. You sent it to them by owl… and when days passed and that owl never returned, on another… and again another… until finally, returning with a sealed envelope, the reply read:

“Miss. (Y/L/N), Do not contact this address again.” No signature.

Newt held you as your body shook, haunted by memories and the obscurity of your past. His soft sounds of comfort humming through you as he stroked your hair. In a moment however, you shot away. Embarrassed and furious at yourself for accepting his comfort when you’d hid your truth from him for so long… when you’d been part of a family so violent- so evil.

“Don’t-“ you choked, rejecting him regretfully. His eyes searched yours, brows creased as his hand reached out toward you again. You slid further away from him, praying with deep breaths you’d find courage lingering in the air somewhere.

You looked at Newt’s face, his soft, kind mouth- the light freckles scattered over his handsome face. It all taunted you.

“(Y/N), I beg you- tell me what happened with the man yesterday,” he spoke calmly yet with no less concern.

“I’m…,” you huffed, “Newt… I’m…” you shook your head, your hands coming to your face as you spoke. “I’m a product of dark magic.”

“But…? I don’t understand? You’re not-“

“I’m… an Obscurus.” You blurted weakly. Unable to meet his expression, your eyes focused on the way his hands twitched- fingers splaying slightly.. fist curling, relaxing.

“(Y/N), look at me.”

You couldn’t.

“Please, (Y/N),” he spoke as he reached out toward you. You peered up at him sheepishly, fearing the rejection his words might bring.

He shook his head roughly, his hands traveling up to his hair- fingers running through those messy amber locks as he exhaled deeply. Your heart barely managed to refrain from collapsing inside you as his concern turned to something of disgust.

“No.” He stated firmly. His sudden level of confidence making you jump slightly. You searched his face as he stared, deeply concentrated on the emerald flames before you.

You started hesitantly, voice barely carrying; “They told me, yesterday at the-“

“No.” He was looking at you now. You had no idea what to say- what was this reaction? You couldn’t read him… this was a side to your kind, darling boy you’d never seen before. Where his brilliant sea green eyes would usually crinkle in accordance to that wonderful soft smile- they shone fiercely. Where his mouth would break into the most brilliant of grins- it fell aloof. Where his playfulness and endearing nerves would never fail to make your heart swell- he proved now unnervingly stoic.

“I don’t understand-“ you began but were cut off aa he shot up and began pacing across the length of the fireplace.

“It won’t happen to you. I won’t let it happen to you. I- I would sooner die then let you…,” he spoke, anger full in his voice, clouding his thoughts as he searched for the words. “You’re not your parents, (Y/N). You are not dark. You are-“ he shook his head, exasperated, “(Y/N),” he spoke suddenly, looking at you deeply before he continued. Chills rose along your arms under the intensity of his gaze. “You are the single most radiant light I have ever encountered in my life. You are good. You- you are good.” He broke, running over to you and embracing you tightly in his arms. You hugged him back, tears streaming down your face while you held him as tightly as you could, pressing him as close to you as physically possible- if only you could crawl inside him it would have been enough.

“I won’t let anything happen to you,” he spoke into your shoulder, his hands pressing comfortingly behind your head as you sunk into him.

“Newt, I should be the one saying that,” you whispered between tears.

He came up, keeping you in his arms as he kneeled in front of where you sat. His fingers brushed your hair behind your shoulder as he studied you.

“You’re… the most, to me.”

You felt your heart begin to warm again as that endearing nervous vocabulary worked it’s way back into his speech.

“Oh Newt,” you breathed, pressing him tight against you once more.
