Fireflies • Newt Scamander x Reader

Five

The two were laughing as they entered Tina's apartment, where Newt was staying for his visit. Newt took off his soaking coat and scarf, setting both things on the floor near the fireplace to dry. He took off his vest and tie, putting both near the coat and scarf. His shirt was a bit wet, leaving it slightly translucent. (Name) Was hesitant to take of her coat, but soon enough she did. She handed it over to Newt, and he set it near his clothes. Once he was done, he set his hands onto his his hips.

(Name) stood pushing her wet hair back away from her face before rubbing her forehead. "Thanks for letting me come for the.." The girl began as almost a hint to Newt on the original reason she came over. He snapped his fingers as to show he remembered before he walked over to the kitchen area. "Any preferences?" He asked while sliding his wand out of his pocket and holding it out of her sight by his side. Newt looked over to her, catching (Name) slightly staring at him. She looked away and cleared her throat.

"Any will do." (Name) said with a soft blush along her face. He waved his wand from out of her view, turning on the stove and boiling the tea. After a few seconds he poured the boiling water into two cups and set two teabags of Earl Grey into the cups. "Sugar?" Newt asked, earning a nod from her. After putting in a spoonful of sugar, Newt set the two cups onto the table and sat down before clearing his throat when she did not walk over.

"Sorry, just a bit dazed." (Name) apologized while walking over to the chair across from him and took the tea into her hands, taking a small sip of the warm liquid while closing her eyes. Newt picked up his cup and just held it, keeping his eyes closely on her. He remembered drinking tea with (Name) in the past, joking about little things as they did so. She slowly opened her eyes and caught Newt staring at her. Yet again. Newt shot his eyes down to his drink with a burning blush on his face. "Sorry." He mumbled. But, he was not sorry for staring. He was sorry for Obliviating her memory.

(Name) shook it off and took another sip. Then, she remembered once again. She remembered how he called her by her name, and she had never told him. She looked up at him and opened her mouth to speak, before she was completely cut off, yet again, by footsteps. A girl walked in with short brown hair puffed in both directions. She wore a classy outfit, and her face showed even more serious class. (Name) wanted to sink back and hide. Whoever she was, she was higher class than (Name). And, also, whoever she was, she must have been very very close to Newt.

Her eyes met the girl's and she instantly frowned. But, her eyes widened after a moment once she recognized the girl sitting before Newt Scamander. She was the girl in the photograph that Newt never dared to speak of. She was the girl that was never to be talked about. She was the girl that Newt always would choose over her. She narrowed her eyes again. "Newt, what's she doing here?" She asked, with Newt shooting his head over to her. His face paled before he looked back over to (Name), just for a split second.

"Tina, this is (Name)." Newt said, with a smile twitching on his lips as he introduced her. Suddenly, the name sounded familiar to Tina. Almost, too familiar. "(Name)? (Name) (Last Name)?" Newt stood up out of his chair abruptly and a wood on wood sound filled the room. He grabbed Tina's wrist and dragged her out of the room, leaving (Name) sitting there completely dumbfounded. Newt pulled Tina into the bedroom he was staying at, slamming the door from behind them. "How do you know her name?" Newt asked, in a way that sounded like a growl. Tina froze slightly as she shoved Newt away from herself.

"Don't act like you're innocent, Scamander! She's the no-maj that you fell in love with!" Tina was boiling with anger and jealously. Newt's face paled while he raised his brows, his eyes looking just as broken as they had looked for the past five years. "Please, Tina.. Once she remembers, I'll take her to London. You'll never see her again. Promise." He said, but his words sounded more like a whispering plea of a child. Tina ran a hand through her frizzed hair and scoffed. "Promise?! I don't want that no-maj around you!" She yelled, loud enough that (Name) heard her words.

She sat cluelessly. She was confused how Tina knew her name, and why she knew it. Back at the bedroom, Newt's eyes were at the point of watering over as he felt like his heart was being tied into a knot before being crushed. "You won't tell them, will you?" His voice was shaky and frail. Tina's eyes softened as she rubbed Newt's arm softly. "I'm sorry." She said in a whisper, before Newt had his stomach form a knot. He shoved Tina to the side while quickly grabbing his case and running out the door. He grabbed his vest, coat, and tie off the floor before running back over to (Name).

"Newt! Newt, don't you dare do it!" Tina screamed as she chased after him. (Name) slowly stood up and furrowed her brows. "Newt, what's going on?" She asked softly Newt froze before he raised his brows at looked straight into (Name)'s eyes, a serious look painted on his face. "You have to trust me." And, before she could object, Newt's arm wrapped around her waist and he pulled out his wand.

Tina stood at the door way with wide eyes, running over to them screaming: "NO!"

But, before Tina could stop them, Newt had waved his wand and he and the girl were out of sight.
