Someway somehow, he always gets in trouble. It's like he has a magnet installed into him.
He wasn't suppose to be running around chasing his Niffler. That creature causes Newt so trouble. From getting out of his room to steal money, jewelry and anything shiny he could get his paws on, to right now when he jumped out of the window , leading Newt into cat and  mouse like  chase. No matter the trouble Newt couldn't actually get mad at him. He couldn't leave him that rainy autumn night, he found him shivering in the cold near his dorm .
" How do I always get myself into this kinda mess". Newt thought distressed
He had now gone quite far from Hogwarts, getting close to Dufftown.
" I can't let Muggles see us damn it, why is he so eager to run all of a sudden"
He could not even comprehend what has happened in the  moment after he thought that.
He bumped into someone, a beautiful girl non the less
They both ended up hitting the green grass quickly uttering the words
" I'm sorry "
Newt looked at her, she was really pretty, her starry-eyes and her silky hair flowing  in the wind gave her the appearance of  a painting. Or at least that's how it seemed to Newt . He could feel blush creeping onto his face. He quickly looked away from her gaze. Completely forgeting about the Niffler. That she luckily didn't notice, cause it was behind her hiding in the long grass . And she was too focused on Newt and his appearance. Or rather how unusual it was. He wore his Hogwarts uniform so to a Muggle like her it was strange choice of clothing. Black pants, gray sweater , white undershirt with yellow and black tie . All seemed normal but what threw her off was his cloak. Dark Blue, with a symbol on his left. Despite all that she was drawn to his face the most. He was very handsome, beautiful blue eyes, nice curly brown slightly ginger hair, freckles. His shyness and innocent look he gave she thought he looked like an angel.
Even being quite distracted, he still wondered
" What was she doing this deep into the valley? "
He was too uncomfortable to ask.
" I'm so sorry " she said, her voice soft and gentle
" No it was my fault I ran into you. "
She noticed his voice still wasn't developed. He was around her age.
Trough her mind the question
" Why was he running so fast " appeared. But neither of them dared to ask. Newt got up and despite all his awkwardness he gave her a hand. Her hands were soft and gentle while to her his seemed a bit roughed up.
" Thanks " she uttered, Newt looked away from her eyes for a moment before looking straight at her. She was even more lovely up close. But his admiration for her was interrupted, by Newt noticing his Niffler still hiding in the grass
She quickly looked behind and didn't notice the creature. He just now noticed she carried a note book he wondered why? But they had to part ways now
" Okay guess I will get going " she quickly let go of Newts hands to his dissapointment. He looked longingly at her. He never actually was comfortable with talking with girls .
But all these new things Newt felt were shattered when he looked down to his Niffler.
" Are you happy? "
The creature looked at him cutely
" That look won't save you "
He picked him up, and took a long walk down to Hogwarts.
" Okay here we are " Newt said looking at his school.
" Now  in my cloak" he said to his Niffler. But suddenly something flew out of it's pouch .
It was a ring, Jade ring to be exact
Newt picked up, it was a quite simple design. It looked like a green circle. Newt for second wondered where did this come from
" Did you take it from that girl?
It probably flew off her finger when we bumped into each other. Still how many times I have to tell you. Paws off what doesn't belong to you? What am I gonna do with this now. "
Newt thought, he could bring her ring back to her. But where did she live? Dufftown is an obvious choice. He put it into his pocket and decided to think about it later.
He snucked his Niffler and went inside. Still very conflicted on what he should do.
That whole day he couldn't get this whole incident out his head. He would wonder around Hogwarts looking outside the window.
" Mister Scamander " he heard the voice of his teacher Dumbledore.
" Sir " he said broken out his thoughts
The way Newt looked out of the window, Dumbledore knew that look and that feeling
" Mister Scamander... Something got you very distracted and it's not beasts you hide from us "
Newt tried to look way. But he knew he wasn't escaping his professor.
" That look on your face Newt.... What's going on?"
Newt tried it to seem like everything is normal. But Dumbledore noticed the ring
" Oh I was right, so who is the special one "
Newt couldn't actually tell, it was a random muggle he met while running around trying to get his Niffler it was bad already that many professors knew about how he kept creatures
So he skipped the part of how they met
" Uh... I met her at the valley. While I took a walk. But she is no one special. We uttered two words to each other. "
" Really and what about the ring then ? " Dumbledore asked persistently
" It feel off her finger Sir. I found it afterwards. I don't know what to do with it? " That much was true  he was really confused on what to do
" She probably lives near by. When you find the time go and confront her."
" Are you sure Sir ? "
Dumbledore laughed and pated his back
" She must be quite beautiful, to get you so nervous. Don't worry Newt I have been there... In your shoes "
That made Newt feel a little bit better, but was he really crushing onto this girl he met. The thought of her made him blush slightly. Even though in his mind this was all very shallow he couldn't help it.
Meanwhile the girl explained to her friends what happened to her
" Well that's strange "
" The way you described him. He seems like he is a part of the cult. "
" I don't think so, he was really sweet and gentle and shy " she tried to convince her friends of the good nature she saw in Newt. She herself wasn't sure why she felt that way, but everything about Newt seemed right in her mind .
" Don't bite into it, he is a random stranger "
" Yeah, could be dangerous " and they were right. But she still couldn't get him out her head. Something just told her, he is okay
She already got lectured for going off to the valley trying to find inspiration for writing, something she wants to do in life. Something her parents weren't proud of.  Losing  her ring just added to all off this mess . But she didn't care, somehow nothing mattered to her except finding out more about the boy she met today.
It was typical case of young crush love. For both of them.
She would write many small stories inspired  by Newt  and what she thought he could be like . He would draw her in his sketch book
" Newt who is that? " asked one his roommates
" Oh uh..... "
He blushed slightly
" Newty is inlove " his friends teased slightly
" No its not like that..... " He looked away from their eyes. But they were right, how can he deny the drawings of her. It was like a reflexive reaction to deny it.
One his Ravenclaw friends would read him Romeo and Juliet quotes often to teas him.
" Will you stop? " Newt asked
" What? I'm just quoting. Is that you found yourself in these quotes that makes you all flustered "
And so on it went
.............................
Newty always wanted to give her back her ring But never got the courage or chance to . Time has already passed. With whole incident with his beasts. He had many other things in mind unfortunately. They never met since then. Newt and her already moved on from that day.
He kept her ring in his beloved case of creatures. He cherished her as his first crush. He never thought he would see her again until now. At the docks of New York.
......................................
Getting ready to leave New York, finishing his new book, that small moment with Tina. Things were looking good for Mister Scamander. But what awaited him was something he did not expect at all. Before him a woman, like a spit image of a girl he had a crush on when he was 16. It was like a lighting shot trough him. His body froze up to his cheeks.
" Calm down Newt it's probably not her " he told himself. Even if it wasn't her, the resemblance was enough to leave him with an impression.
She was talking to some man as Newt managed to see. He could not hear them tough
" Such a young beauty a writer? " the man said
" Well it's something I choose, as unusual  as it seems " she laughed
" You seem like such a lovely young lady. Your man must be the luckiest one alive "
" Haha you are sweet Sir, but there is no man in my life now. "
" That really shocks me. "
" There have been couple in the past, one I still keep deep in my memory. "
" Seek him "
" He was a young crush of mine. I don't even know his name. I met him once he was like an unreal being. After years of not seeing him, those feelings faded. But the memory stayed"
" Uhhh Miss what can I say, but to wish you the best. It was a nice talk "
" Thanks it was a pleasure "
The most special memory she has, Newt was a great inspiration for her. There was something mystical about him or rather magical. Yet mysterious, great material for stories. 
As she walked along the docks getting ready for her boat for England to arrive. She bumped into someone.
" Oh excuse..... me" as she looked up she had a surprise to see. Newt was standing before her like that day, he ran into her.
She stared into his eyes, for as much as she could without it being weird.
" It can't be him..... "
" I'm sorry as well Miss " he said in shy and now actually developed voice. He looked and sounded more mature. But she could still recognize him.
" No it was my bad I was deep in my thoughts " she tried to make up conversation, curiosity was killing her.
" Ah I know how that feels " and Newt did he was often distracted.
" Is that her '' seeing her up close was pushing him even more to believe it's her. But as when they first met neither of them had the courage to ask the other.
" You are going to England as well Sir?"
" Yes actually, um.... " Newt could hold the question in anymore
" Excuse my curiosity, but are you perhaps from Dufftown " now he awaited the answer, he was getting really nervous. What if it is her and he seems creepy
Trough her head, things like maybe it is him or is he actually some weird stalker went through. But desire to know more drove her to her answer
" Yes I am " she said with a worried look.
" Wait are you.... ? " she continued on
" Just what I was thinking " Newt added
" Are you that boy I bumped into, the one who wore a strange cloak? "
" Yes, you must be the girl with a notebok " Newt said
" What a small world it is. I bump into someone on the valley now we are meeting at the docks. How did you recognize me? "
This is where things got a bit awkward, Newt couldnt tell her that he sketch her face several times.
" Well you do have memorable facial features. What gave me away " he asked
" The same thing, also your scarf is the same color your tie was " she knew this cause she depicted it several time in her stories. Newt wondered how did she remember.
" I'm __ " she reached her hand to shake it with him.
He accepted the gesture and noticed her hands were as soft as when he first held them
" Newt Scamander "
" It's a pleasure having your company. I hope you don't mind mine "
" No of course not "
To anyone else on the planet how they remember each other and all this is ridiculous. But __  was fascinated with Newt. He was like a fantasy character she always dreamed of. From Newts side he never got that kinda reaction from a girl. That she stared into his eyes fascinated. Girls would avoid him in school.
" So what brings you to New York Mister Scamander? Don't tell me you are following me " she chuckled
Newt shook his head in a small laugh
" No, friends birthday and you? "
" Publishing, I had to meet up with my editor. But he came back to New York for holidays so I had to sail across the see "
" Publishing? " Newt said with sparkle in his eyes
" You are a writer? " he added
" Indeed I am. " she answered
" Believe it or not, I'm actually in a process of publishing my own book "
" You write as well, what kinda of books? " Now__ was getting excited as well
" Textbooks actually "
" Really, I'm more in the fiction field myself "
Both of them got really happy that they have common interests. Though their feelings have long faded. It was still a nice experience
Their small talk interrupted the announcement that the boat for England was setting sail. Since they both came alone they thought might as well be together on this trip.
__ started  the conversation mostly due to Newts shyness
They stood next to the docks and Newt asked
" So what are your stories about "
" Well it's gonna sound silly and chidish. But I love writing about fantasy, you know magic. I know it's stupid "
Newt has gotten nervous when her heard the world magic and fantasy. He cleared his throat the awkwardly and tried to sound natural
" Well thats an interesting field. I would certainly love to read those stories "
" Of course I will send you the copy. What are you textbooks about "
" Ah uh... Animals i'm a zoologist " It was true to an extent
" Interesting, I would love to read it "
" Well.... When i finish it I will send it to you " Newt knew that he got into a big trouble but what are the chances of him meting her again. Maybe she will forget about this conversation. But as he would always say worrying is like suffering twice.
"__ Do you belive in magic?" he asked knowing his question might raise some red flags for her
" No "
