"Good Morning Everyone" Newt called as he entered the kitchen from feeding his creatures breakfast.
"Mornin' buddy" Jacob replied as he wrestled with some bacon in a frying pan. Seeing Newt's raised eyebrow he muttered "I tried to make an English breakfast" Newt turned to Theseus who was sitting reading the prophet and asked, "Thee why aren't you helping Jacob?"
"Oh I thought of doing it then-didn't" Newt rolled his eyes and pointed his wand at the frying pan.
"Jacob, go sit down, I'll do it" Jacob shot him an odd look before sitting down in between Nagini and Theseus at the dining table. Newt shot him a reassuring smile and he increased the heat of the frying pan with a wave of his wand. As he flipped the cooking food he pointed his wand at the radio and it came on at the Wizarding British Broadcasting Channel.
"Next up is 'Your my Patronus' by the delightful Madam Canticum." There was a loud crackle and then a soft voice started singing
"I was walking clear as day
At least that's what I used to think
Life was a walking task
Then I met you and that collapsed
We parted ways unlikely, friends
But I found myself wanting more
And when the darkness came creeping in
I thought of you, my Patronus charm"
He began to unconsciously hum along to the tune as the others watched him curiously. Deciding to ignore them temporarily he focused on cooking until a woman's voice came from the doorway.

Tina was more than slightly disoriented when she awoke to the sound of music drifting its way through Newts townhouse. It must have been later than usual because Tina was usually the next up after Newt, who was always up insanely early in her opinion, but the sound of quiet chatter was following the music upstairs. Pulling herself out of bed she quickly changed and brushed her hair before padding downstairs. She approached the doorway and swiftly looked in to see Newt humming along to the radio as he pointed his wand at various pans of food. It looked wonderfully domestic with his bow tie hung loosely around his neck, his top button undone and his shirt untucked as he hummed slightly out of time with the music.
I would happily wake up to this sight for the rest of my life. The thought came out of nowhere and Tina felt herself blush at the implications. She had never really thought that far with anyone but it seemed so perfect. She had never met anyone like him and she highly doubted she would meet anyone like him again with his Green-Blue eyes, endless freckles and the shy smile he gave her whenever they kissed. She could definitely love that man forever. A microscopic daydream entered her head of her wearing a white dress as she walked down an aisle with Queenie at her side but she swiftly pushed it away and got back to the matter at hand. Everyone else was sat chatting at the dining table comfortably so she decided to tease Newt a little. It wasn't that she was mean, she just found it incredibly cute when he was flustered and enjoyed it, even more so when he teased her back.
"Wow Mr Scamander, I never knew you could sing?" He turned around with a frying pan in his hand and blushed, his pink cheeks smothering some of his lighter freckles.
"Well, It is a rather pleasant day" He muttered
"How so?"
"The creatures were all awake, No nifflers escaped, Its relatively warm and well-" He paused for a second and looked down at his feet "Now you"
