Rolf and Juno had gone to visit their dad every day since June arrived two weeks ago with Newt. The Healers at St Mungo's didn't have a specific life expectancy for Andrew Scamander, but they knew it wasn't long.
Andrew was an employee for the British Ministry of Magic under the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. He was one of the directors of the office and had been overseeing the capture of a dangerous creature that had gone rogue. The creature thrashed out, killing multiple workers and critically injuring Andrew.
The Healers working on Andrew had found multiple bone fractures along with blood poisoning. This poisoning wasn't fast acting and was slowly killing Andrew, day by day. He was lucky to be alive, unlike so many others.
The Scamander siblings had found that with the poisoning, it was also affecting their father's memory. Every day they'd come in and ask him if he remembered things from their childhood, Newt would ask his son about his own early years. But Andrew was remembering less every day.
It was a devastating sight for all of the Scamanders to witness. Tina had stayed with them for the first week before leaving back home to take care of the creatures there—it was not easy for her to leave her son. Aunty Queenie and Uncle Jacob had come to visit their nephew too, so had Ceressa, David—her husband—and their son Anthony.
Today, Andrew was asleep while Newt took Rolf and Juno to visit, but they just sat with him quietly. Juno prayed in her heart for her father to heal, but she knew deep down it wasn't going to work. So, instead she prayed for him to not feel the pain he was surely going through.
