Case Full of Fics [Newt/Theseus x Reader]

Heart's Desire - N

Hey guys!! So I've  been working on the next part of I Do Care but in the mean time I  decided to get this little prompt out :) Hope you guys like it, and let  me know what you think with a vote/comment if you'd like to, it's very  much appreciated :D (I know I write the reader as a Hufflepuff all the  time but that's just bc I'm a puff and it comes more naturally to me. If  you guys want to see the reader as other houses please let me know and  I'll definitely give it a shot!)

"(Y/N)!" You heard not too far behind you as you made your way through the corridors, "p-please slow down."

You looked over your  shoulder as you turned the corner, seeing the tall, ginger haired  Hufflepuff not too far behind you. You were only so far ahead of him  because you actually knew where you were going, you'd been to this room  many times and it was the only place you could go to avoid Newt.

You didn't want to avoid  him, but you couldn't speak to him at the moment. You'd been upset for  weeks, retreating into a deep pit of self loathing that had been growing  deeper and deeper since your 3rd year. One can only imagine how deep  it'd become three years later.

There were many causes  for your predicament. One being Leta Lestrange, who'd swept Newt  completely off of his feet from the very first day she approached the  two of you. You tried very hard not to dislike her and she never gave  you any reason to, she was actually quite lovely. The reason behind your  dislike lied within the second cause of your predicament, your deep  affection for Newt. The third cause being the fact that his affections  lied in Leta's hands. He hadn't ever told you that himself, but it was  something you and everyone else assumed to be true.

"I do not wish to speak to you at the moment," you replied, hurrying along.

"I know you're upset  with me, (Y/N)," he called after you, hurrying along himself. He was  practically tearing his own hair out with how much he was nervously  clutching at it as he trailed after you.

He had to speak with you  and figure out what was going on. He'd noticed you were upset many  weeks ago but you'd reassured him everything was okay. You'd stopped  accompanying him and Leta and spent increasing amounts of time in the  library or the Hufflepuff common room. You'd even declined his offers of  trips to Hogsmeade. Newt had grown worried as time went on and finally  decided to find out what was going on. He absolutely despised  confrontation, but if this was the only way to get you back to normal he  would do it.

"Please just leave me alone Newton," you spoke over your shoulder.

He cringed hearing his  full name. This was definitely a bad sign, you only ever used his full  name when you were cross with him. That didn't happen often, but when it  did he at least had an idea of what he'd done wrong.

"Let me fix this," Newt's voice was much closer to you now.

You rushed to turn the  next corner, if he caught up to you there was no way you could avoid the  discussion. But you abruptly stopped in your tracks. The slytherin  prefect was making his rounds. That was the last person you wanted to  run into, especially at this time of night.

Newt barely managed to stop himself from colliding into your back as you peered around the corner.

"(Y/N)—" you quickly shushed Newt before he could say anything else. You'd have to find a way to quickly leave him behind once the coast was clear. You felt horrible even suggesting it to yourself.

The prefect around the corner had turned somewhere along the corridor, however you didn't anticipate another pair of footsteps to echo faintly behind you two. At the beginning of the corridor where you had only turned a few moments ago was most likely another prefect.
