Newt Scamander Preferences

When You Attend The Christmas Ball

All eyes were on you, as you emerged at the top of the flight of stairs. Glancing around at the array of beautifully dressed students, you suddenly felt very inadequate in your formal outfit.

A week ago when you had brought it, you couldn't wait to wear it to the Christmas Ball but now that the big moment had arrived...

...you were doubting yourself greatly.

You noticed someone pull away from the crowd, quickly and gracefully ascending the stairs, stopping only a few steps from you.

Looking at the person, you suddenly felt yourself relax, all stress and anxieties melting away, as you took in his glittering blue eyes and awed smirk.

You had to admit, Newt Scamander in a freshly pressed tux was certaibly something you hoped to see more of in the future. The obsidian black certainly suited his fairer complexion and the material was hugging his body in all of the right places. Mmm, yes. You definitely hoped he would wear that suit more to other formal occassions. Or prehaps when you two were alone? You thought cheekily and partially lustfully.

He held out his hand, motioning for you to take it.

With more confidence than you had moments before, you accepted his hand. With a supportive squeeze from him, you both descended the stairs, ready to join the immaculately clothed gathering of fellow pupils.

"You look absolutely esquisite." you heard a certain Hufflepuff whisper adoringly in your ear, causing you to beam with pride.

Gently from the enchanted ceiling, it began to snow, falling around you in delicate white spirals. It was time for the festivities to begin.
