Newt - Dancing With No Music

Note before this begins, the song in this had inspired me to do this one so yeah. It is actually a "key" point to how this works out I guess. Well to the fluff. It's Dancing On My Own the Callum Scott version.

He had no idea. It wasn't unusual for his character to be so blind yet see so much. Having spent so much time around Leta Lestrange, he had begun to develop an emotional sense to protect her from harm. The two of them had grown closer as the years passed by with flying colours. She was the first of many for the awkward Hufflepuff. First kiss, first date, first dance, first sexual fantasy... But he didn't know that an innocent and troubled ________ watched from a far. Always on the verge of tears everytime she saw the two together. It broke her heart to know that he was with the one who brought her life so many troubles. She bullied her to the point of madness.

Everyone at Hogwarts knew her as "Troll Face" because she was born with a slight skin condition that made the left side of her face slightly more puffy than the other. It wasn't a name she chose by choice, and for three years she had been called this. This caused her to hide that side of her face. She felt ashamed of herself because of it.

________ began to spend a lot of time in the shadows like a monster. She was only ever seen in the light when she walked over to the Herbology greenhouses, to Care of Mythical Creatures and even to the Forbidden Forest. Newton was the only student that wanted to be by her side by choice. Of course the professor's were kind and didn't say anything about her condition... To her face that is.

The awkward Hufflepuff wasn't very fond of people because he just didn't feel comfortable around them. He would spend a lot of time with ________, telling her that he would never leave her side, but one day he worked up the courage to ask Leta to hogsmeade and when they returned they were so in love with each other you would think that some one slipped some Amortentia into their morning tea. Even though he was still by her side, it didn't feel right to her knowing that he was by someone else too. He was close to her visually in body, but no longer close in soul.

________ couldn't hear Newton and Leta in the same sentence without breaking down in tears. "________, you have to tell him your feelings. You can't torture yourself like this any longer." Professor Dumbledore said to the emotional wreck that was sitting in her seat, too caught up in her thoughts to notice that her eyes wandered over to that untameable ball of curls. Her eyes looked up at her professor who gave a warm smile before walking over to another desk to help with an inquiry. ________'s eyes returned to the back of the Hufflepuff's head. 'Maybe he's right. But he is so happy with HER.'

After class was dinner. Instead of following the current of students who sat with their friends, ________ went and sat in the far corner away from everyone. Being this antisocial was definitely bad for her health, and so was being verbally and physically harassed because of her abnormality.

"Newt honey, why are you looking over at her?"

"I just worry about her sometimes that's all. I do hope she doesn't think I hate her because I haven't spent any time with her in the past week." Newt looked down at his plate of steamed vegetables, crispy skinned chicken and a small piece of cheese. He didn't really feel that hungry, but he knew that he would have to eat something. He saw her get up and leave. She only ate some of the vegetables and a little bit of the chicken. Newt excused himself from the table before he followed the teary eyed girl.

Newt stopped a hall down from her when he listened to the sound of bricks forming into a door. He had heard rumours about a room in the castle that wasn't actually there. The room of requirement. Before the door closed he had begun to make his way to the door and slipped into the room unnoticed by the girl.
