" Newt would you like to stay for a dinner? " She finally got the courage to asked him before he left. In hope these moments could last a little longer.
Newt blushed slightly at the question after last night experience he was still pretty ashamed. But her eyes were looking straight at him with such yearn for a yes.
" Uh... Oh Yes... " He answered, questioning was it a smart? Should he get this attached to her?
___ on the other hand without a second thought happily unlocked the door and let her handsome guest in
The house was choosy and filled with lamps, candles, pictures, books . It was a little cold since no one has been in there for a while.___ took a notice of  that and ran off to get some wood. With Newts help they quickly lit up the fire
" It's very beautiful here " said Newt looking over at her face covered in a newly formed light
" Really? Thanks "
" You live alone? " he felt embarrassed to ask
" Yes, my parents unfortunately passed away "
" I'm so sorry to hear that "
He could only imagine how hard it is living alone not even having a sibling like Tina
" I'm gonna go prepare us something to bite, if you want you can grab any book that interests you "
In a second she was gone to the kitchen while Newt was left with a giant bookshelf that covered the entire wall of her living room . Failing to concentrate on any book due to his very confused and frustrated mind, he decided to go help her out
Witnessing her singing cheerily
"She is so adorable... " he thought
" Wait what am in thinking!! "
" Oh Newt you scared me "
" Sorry didn't mean to "
Newt than took out his wand and stared to peal the potatos he saw.
___ turned around amazed
" Is that your wand "
" Yes "
" It's so beautiful, I can't believe you can do that it's incredible. Don't push yourself to help though " she said
" No please it would be my pleasure " after helping her with pealing
___ prepared them dinner lit some candles and called Newt to the dining room
Once he had a bite of it, he was amazed how good it tasted. He usually wasn't a gluttonous eater but he ate everything so quickly it was gone in a second
" This was so good "
" I'm glad you liked it .... Newt i'm sorry to bring this up. But I wanted to ask you. Last night you know... "
That got him extremely nervous making him feel like he is gonna vomit all that good food he just ate
" You mentioned some Wizarding school and  houses I didn't quite understand you then. So I was curious if you could tell me now clearly. "
That question lifted a heavy stone from his chest for a moment he thought she was gonna mention the way he complicated her, that night at the hotel. He didn't even know himself why he did that... Right now  for Newt it was the most difficult question to answer.
" Uh oh sure"
In the process of cleaning up he told her all about Hogwarts and the 4 houses. She could only imagine all that and wished she could see it. Time was unfortunately running out Newt now really had to leave her.
" It has really been a pleasure meeting you ___ "
" The same goes for me Newt. I had a wonderful time "
" It's getting late..... "
" Be sure to bring me a copy of your book "
" I will "
And thus they parted ways. Leaving her behind
She hoped he would visit her soon, but 2 weeks have passed. It pained her that he didn't show up
" Well why would a wizard be with someone like me anyways" she thought.
Despite all the pain she would think everyday about their little journey. And though it wasn't much it still meant a lot.
Lonely in the big old house, parents long gone and friends all married. All she could do is create worlds she now knew were real now.
Suddenly one lonely gray day she heard a knock.
She jumped to open the door  and it was the man she awaited
"Newt! "
She was overjoyed to see him
" Hello " he said trying his best to sound natural
She looked at him, happily smiling
" Please come in Newt "
" Actually I had something else in mind "
She looked at him with a confused expression
" Are you drunk again? " she teased,resulting in him blushing  crimson red, maiking her chuckle
" Uh oh.... No i want to show you something.... I want to take you to shopping street of the Wizarding World.... "
Her eyes widened in happiness and almost teared up
" Really! "
" Yes " he said excitedly
" When are we going? "
" Well right now, but first I need you to put this on"
He pulled out a his old Hufflepuff cloak and tie
" If you had something that would go well with this, that would be great "
He handed her the clothing, and she looked at with slight admiration
" Wait is that your school uniform? "
" Well it was. I brought you a Hufflepuff one since that was the only one I had on me. But I still haven't figured out the question of what house you might be in. "
" Take your time " she said and
went up stairs managed to find something that could go with the cloak and tie.
She finally came down and Newt was mesmerized by her. The way his old uniform actually compliment her
" Beautiful " he thought 
She smiled sweetly at him and he shyly looked away
" You see, Wizards have high sense when it comes to Muggles. So by waring those items it makes you stand out less to them . " he explained while tightening her tie, realizing how close he was to her made him quickly pull back.
Breaking the tension as always___ asked
" Sorry to ask, but where is that place that you want to take me to  "
" In London "
" In London!? How are we gonna get there it's kinda late  "
" We are gonna take the train halfway through  than apparate "
" Apparate? "
" Yeah it's kinda like a teleport, it might make you a bit dizzy. But it will save us a lot of time "
And so it was, soon enough they ended up in London
After that experience ___ bumbled around like she was drinking all night. Her whole head was spinning. She didn't have a grasp of where she was or what is she doing.
" You do this.... "
" Yes actually very often "
" This is so... Aweful "
Newt giggled a bit
" You get used to it. Do you need a moment "
He asked concerned
" Yes actually just to catch my breath."
They sat at the park branch, Newt brought her some water to calm here down
" Thanks, i can't believe i'm actually in London it has been years.... "
" You have been to London before " Newt asked
" Yes my family brought me once " Sadness was apparent on her face, which shot a sharp like pain trough Newt
" She shouldn't be alone.... " A thought went through his head as he looked at her
She quickly wiped away her tear hoping that Newt didn't notice, but he did
" Come on let's go " she said cheerfully
" Right "
They walked just around the corner to the  Leaky Cauldron pub.
Newt whispered to___
" Hold onto me "
She grabbed onto his arm as tightly as possible
Soo they entered
Bunch of wizards and witches stared at them, whispers in the air.___ was fascinated by their presents.So far Newt has been the only wizard she saw. Newt didn't want to stay there any longer due to the awkward and uncomfortable atmosphere , so he didn't waste time.Beyond the leaky cauldron, Newt started to tap the 3 bricks with his wand.
While__ marveled at him.
The bricks moved forming a door, revealing the buildings of the strangest colors and shapes___ has ever seen
Her eyes sparked, her jaw dropped at the sight
" Newt..... "
" Yeah? "
" I want to be a witch " she said trough a breathy laugh
Newt giggled, seeing her this happy lighted some strange giddy feeling, that went trough him. Making his heart pound, his cheeks flustered, it felt like his stomach was filled with doxys and glow bugs. He put, his hand on his nervous heart. Making___ slightly worried about him
" Newt dear, are you alright " she asked gently
The feeling only became stronger, now his voice was shaking.
" Uh-uh y-y-yeah "
Realizing how she just called him, she looked at some random building to avoid eye contact
" Let me... " he said quietly
She snapped out of her flustered mind
" I'm sorry what did you say? "
" Let me show you around __? "
" Sure " she grinned
Newt this time made clear eye contact with her, losing himself in her glance
They started to walk around
" You see when you get your Hogwarts letter, they give you list of supplies you have to buy. "
She soaked in every world he said
" From books to owls or any animal, to cauldron "
" That sounds like so much fun, and this where students get those supplies"
" Yes well guessed, this place is called Diagon Alley. There are Wizarding shopping streets in any country you could think of "
" Amazing "
As they walked along Newt continued to explain many things  how wands work, when they passed by Olivanders. Even the more complicated stuff such as the politics and conflict in the Wizarding world
Suddenly they bumped into a figure. Dark blue velvet long coat, a thick beard, slick brown hair, blue eyes
___ hated to admit, but he was quite handsome
" Dumbledore! " Newt uttered
___ looked at him confused
" Well isn't that my old student Mister Scamander, the future great publisher"
The comment made Newt slightly embarrassed
The hugged and Dumbledore patted him the back
" And this lovely miss is...? " The man reached his hand out to her
"____!____ ____" she said nervously
" Hmmmm ___.... " said Dumbledore putting his hand on his chin thinking
" I'm sorry if I sound rude, but I can't help but notice that you look familiar"
As those words rolled out of his old professor's mouth, Newt prayed he wasn't gonna mention, what he in the end mentioned
" Oh you are the girl that Newt used to sketch in class! You even have the jade ring he kept with him. "
___ looked in confusion, amusement and curiosity of what Dumbledore is gonna say next
Newt on the other hand was embarrassed beyond belief. He wanted to vanish into black whole.
" Why does this have to happen to me"
He was more than concerned about her reaction.
" Really? "___ said
" Yes professors would sometimes have to confiscate the drawings. He would get too distracted. " Dumbledore and___ laughed playfully
" I can't believe you two met up, life sure is strange "
" Uh um I'm sorry to interrupt but Dumbledore can I speak with you?" said Newt clearly distressed
They turned around and Dumbledore whispered
" Newt I'm so happy for you , she absolutely beautiful. You are so brave to bring a Muggle here. "
" Dumbledore! " Newt cut him off
" Why did you mention that? "
" Mention what? "
" Well sketches, never mind it's not like that. "
It took Dumbledore a moment to figure out what Newt was trying to say
" Weren't you madly in love with her?" his professor raised an eyebrow
Newt blushed
" Well... Yeah when I was 16.... "
" That's in the past now or at least i think... " He thought
" How come you are together now ? " Dumbledore felt really bad for asking so much since it pretty obvious Newt was confused and distressed
" We met accidentally, long story short, she is an author and we have a lot in common. "
" I see, well be careful Newt. Don't play with fire. Protect her, she is now around different kind "
" I will "
" Well " they turned to her
" Good Luck to you both, I'm will be on my way now "
And alas they were alone again
" He was quite something "___ commented
Newt felt sudden flutter in his heart, being with___ alone again, after the revelation of his sketches
" Excuse  me could you hold my case. "
" Yeah sure "
He handed his beloved brief case to her and ran off quickly
Leaving her to her impatience . Tapping her feet on the ground, hopping and looking around she did anything to keep herself entertained. Suddenly she felt the case widening. It was the Niffler. It poked it's head trough, as soon as it saw___, fear kicked in and it escaped.
___ went pale as ghost
" Oh dear God " she started to chase him as fast as she could
" Excuse me! Excuse me! " she yelled while bumping into people
Meanwhile Newt was washing his face with cold water in the nearest fountain
" What in the Marlins Beard is wrong with me " he said cupping his cheeks with his cold wet hands.
" Am I still inlove with her? " he asked himself
__ continued to run trough Diagon Alley, scared and confused
" I hope the Niffler doesn't get in trouble "
But from the appearance of the man who caught it, that possibility seemed more and more unlikely. He seemed like someone who wouldn't have something good in mind. He had puffy white / gray hair. Green eyes, had old robes and seemed very dirty
" Thank you for catching him "___ said trying to stay calm and possibly be as  polite as she could.
But she was stupidity positive
" Can I have him back now? "
" Have it? You gotta be kiddin' with me girl. This guy can make me filthy rich. Now the only question is whether I'm gonna sell it or make it steal for me. " he grinned stroking the poor thing, while it was shaking in fear.
" I don't think so " she pulled out her Swiss knife
" Hahahahaha what kinda thing is that?! Where is your wand girl. "
___ became nervous but tried her best to seem confident and hope he wouldn't see trough her disguise
" Oh you are still in Hogwarts. You seem a bit old "
" Don't let that fool you "
Meanwhile Newt looked for her anxiously
" Oh no I shouldn't have left her alone" he thought
He was getting clumsily trough crowd of people. Desperate to find her and his creatures.
Cutting back to___ who was still holding her Swiss knife at the thief.
" Please don't make me do anything rash " she said in attempt to sound  intimidating.
" As if you could do something " he laughed cynically.
Abruptly she saw Newt in the crowd. He was about to come to her, his face absolutely patrified at the sight. She shook her head as a signal for him to stay behind the thief. Neither of them had a plan so they just acted on pure improvisation.
Newt pulled out his wand and quietly whispered accio and pointed at her knife. She felt the force pulling it away and even though she wasn't sure what exact spell Newt was using she let it go.
" Who are you looking at? " said the thief confused, but had no time to turn around
The knife came straight at his face, he bent over and dropped the Niffler.___ ran quickly to catch it  , and done it successfully. She knelt down, the poor Niffler was still scared of her. She pet a bit and held near her chest.
" You little trouble maker " she giggled
The man now got up and faced Newt
___ looked at wonder of what Newts reaction may be. Newt quietly walked passed him to___ 
She was quite pleasantly surprised with Newt, she was a different type person when it came to situations like this
" Get lost "___ hissed
" Are you tow alright " he handed her, her knife
"Yes, thanks that was a good improvisation. "
" I guess we are a good team " Newt passed a small smile at her
Quickly realizing how he just sounded he tried to explain himself
" I mean we trust each... I trusted you with my creatures... You with my spell.... I didn't mean to sound weird...."
__ laughed
" Don't worry, you aren't weird. You are actually adorable..... "
Newt looked at her confused yet somewhat happy
" I mean..you are sweet and gentle and kind...... You are also very mature, there is always some class to you. You've proven that just now. Many would not let that man get away "
He looked away opening his case
" Well, he wasn't important at the moment. I'm sorry about my creature cauisng you trouble for the 3rd time and for leaving  you in an unknown place "
" No need to worry, i can handle it "
She handed him the Niffler that seemed to stop being afraid of her.
" There you go " Newt put him in the case
" And don't make me come down there "
To that she giggled
He lifted himself from the ground after closing the case. Reaching out his hand to help___ like the first time they met. She clumsily stumbled into his embrace.
Captured into his eyes, but she had to ruin the moment with a snarky comment
" About those sketchs that you drew of me? " she asked seductively
Newt in an instant became, beyond nervous and realizing that___ could probably feel it cause she is pressed against his body  made him even more anxious. She could feel his fluttered heart
" I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you " she said continuing to use a seductive tone, to mess with Newt a little
" N-n-noo you didn't upset me " he uttered tightening the grip about her waist out of control
" It's okay I bet Dumbledore confused me with someone else "___ implied pretending, even though the professor mentioned her jade ring. Newt than let go of her
And she decided to not start that topic. Who knows how weirded out would he be. If he read one of the many stories she wrote with him as the main character. Newt on the other hand felt like he was all over the place
What is she gonna think? How does he feel now? Is what Dumbledore said about him and___ true.
He didn't know and that bothered him, he should know.___ was just a crush of his when he was 16.
" Newt. "
He twitched back
" Oh yes sorry, that was incredibly brave what you did I there. I realized I still haven't thanked you for saving my creature " he said gently, struggling not to be awkward, despite the fact that sentence came out of nowhere.
" No problem Newt, don't sweat about it "
" She is just going along with all my shyness... I don't deserve her.... Wait she is not even mine.... What is wrong with me... "
Interrupting his thoughts with her deep sigh of shock and joy she loudly said 
" Owls! "
And quickly ran over to them, Newt slowly behind her.
" They are so pretty! They carry mail, right Newt? "
" Yes, that's right. "
She looked at them with longing and almost sad eyes
" Thank you Newt " she said with sentimentality in her voice
" Uh-ah for what ___? " he said confused
" For showing me all this.... "
Newt looked down uncomfortably
" It's nothing "
They were interrupted by a lady who kept the owls
" Can I help you my dear "
___ twitched back from the window
" Oh no.... We should probably get going. Right Newt "
" Oh yes "
They quickly turned away
" That was close "___ whispered
" Yeah " added Newt
The Sun was quickly getting down, it was winter after all. Newt had to drop___ off to her home. Neither of them was happy about it, if only this day can linger a little longer. 
They were before___ 's house
" Well this was.... " said Newt, than___ cut him off
" It was quite something Newt " she smiled weakly
She was leaning on her door, before Newt went away (maybe for good this time)
But before he did she had to ask him something.
" Newt! "
He turned around
" Tell me, is you Wizarding School close to my home town "
" Yes but it is impossible for you to see it " he answered 
" That's a damn shame " she said before turning around unlocking the door
Newt couldn't explain why, but he had this burning desire in his heart to be with her more. To show her Hogwarts! Since she has asked, he knew it was dangerous and against the rules , than again he never followed orders to begin with.
" Wait___! "
