You'd first met Newt at an institution for the care of magical creatures. He'd been handed you as an apprentice, you were to travel England documenting the numbers of rare magical creatures. This, for you, was your dream come true. Getting paid by the ministry to do what you loved was close to perfect. However, you weren't looking forward to meeting newt. You thought he was just going to be another cocky show off that spent more time hitting on your introverted self then doing his job. The man you met was quite the opposite.
You were waiting in the entrance hall to the building when a rather shy looking guy approached you. You noticed how he didn't make eye contact. And also the fact that he was a fair bit taller than you.
"Um... You must be... (Y/N)?"
Aw, he's adorable.
Your eyes trailed around his fluffy mop of hair. You could just spend all day playing with it. And his eyes, the way they darted everywhere desperately trying to find something to give him an excuse not to make eye contact.
Am I really falling for this guy I just met?
"Uh, yeah. That's me. Newt?" He nodded and forced a nervous smile.
"We should probably get going... don't want to miss the train..." He said, looking towards the exit, silently pleading to get out of the crowded room.
"Ah, yeah. Lets go."

They cab journey was awkward, to say the least. For the first fifteen minutes not one of you said a thing. After a while you did manage to strike up a conversation after asking what he'd brought in his case, after hearing various growls and grumbles come from it.
It was like he just snapped out of his awkwardness. He was immediately listing all if the strange snd wonderful beasts he kept, how he'd come to find them, and how much he loved them. He was in his element, and you listened to every word. He certainly knew his stuff.
Then it was your turn to carry the conversation now. You started by telling him about the study of dragons you were conducting. Dragons were your speciality. You'd never before seen anyone so interested in what you were saying. It made your heart flutter.
"That's amazing!" His faced beamed with happiness and interest as you got out the cab and begun walking up to the station.
"Heh. Thanks. No ones ever seemed interested in the slightest before... It means a lot..." You hid your face in your (Y/Hogwarts house) scarf to try and stop him from seeing you blush. It didn't work, and only made him blush smile cutely when he saw it.
"Yeah, I've been there..." He said anxiously in response, his face reddening more. You could tell he had been just as misunderstood as you. It just made you all the more interested in him.
"I've only really met a few dragons, but they sound amazing to study. I'm going to have to do some research." He winked shyly changing the subject as you reached the platform. You blushed once more.
Aww he's so cute i just wanna hug him!
Thoughts run wild in your head. Did he like you? You felt like you had something with him that you had with no one else... a very special bond...

It was late now, you were on the train, a compartment to yourselves. The lights were dim and whatever was outside was barely visible. You should be arriving at your first destination, Cornwall, in the early morning. Newt was engrossed in a book and you were laid flat out on your seat. You were tired. And bored.
You decided to scoot over onto Newt's seat and you pop your head over his arm to see what he's reading.
"What you reading?" You utter in a low whisper, not to disturb anyone down the train from you.
"A study of common Dragons. See. I'm doing my homework." Newt smiled and looked over at you.
"You should get some sleep. Its almost twelve-"
Newt was cut off by you resting your head on his shoulder and closing your eyes. You breathe softly and hope he doesn't get mad at you. You let yourself be engulfed by his scent and warmth.
-
Newt had no idea what to say. He looked at the small, warm body next to him in admiration. She was so... perfect. He didn't hesitate to put his book down and lean his head on yours. He pulled a blanket over you both and you went soundly to sleep.
