[NEWT SCAMANDER IMAGINE]

Imagine Newt asking you to go to the Yule Ball with him.

Newt Scamander wasn't that fond of the Yule Ball, he preferred to sit at his own secret room with his animals and care for them. His friend Leta Lestrange didn't understand why Newt preferred to spend time with animals instead of going out and communicate with people - but at the same time, she understood perfectly why Newt didn't like being with people, since she herself was bullied.

Newt had two friends, the other one being Leta and the other... was you. You were one of the students whom professors adored, you were always kind and ready to help other students with spells, potions and studying in general. But to Newt, you were also a crush. He hadn't confessed it to anyone, but his crush on you could be seen from miles away - he was red and stuttering every time you offered him a smile or even better - some compliments about pretty much anything.

And after the first time Leta had seen that happening, she had been trying to get Newt and you get to a date. And when she heard you didn't have a date yet - it was a sign she had been waiting for.

So on that cold, wintry day, Leta climbed the ladders to Newt's secret vet room, and sat beside him. She smiled at him slyly.

"Guess who doesn't have a date for the Yule Ball yet?" she asked and nudged Newt with her elbow.

Newt was quiet for a while, and he spread the raven's wing to inspect it. Then he shrugged and glanced at Leta.

"Well, Y/N! This is yet another chance for you, I heard they have turned down date requests already and I bet it's because they're waiting for the best one", Leta bit her lip and sighed dreamily. "I can already imagine you and Y/N dancing and staring into each other's eyes..."

Newt had stopped into his tracks at Leta's words, and suddenly the Yule Ball seemed like a great idea to go to.

But someone like you would never go there with someone like him... right?

"There they are, go ask them! Leta shushed to Newt and the boy stared Leta back with wide eyes, unable to move. He hadn't thought about it till the end - how the Merlin would you accept his proposal?

But before Newt could do anything else, you had spotted him and Leta and made your way to them. Leta fled the scene with a smile on her face right when you arrived, and Newt knew he couldn't back down anymore. So he just squeezed his eyes shut, and let the words just fly out, "W-would you go to the Y-Yule Ball - with m-me, I mean?"

He opened his eyes - and you weren't shocked, you weren't laughing and saying that he was silly to ask. In fact, you were smiling widely, before you took his hand and said, "Funny, I was going to ask you myself."
