" Wait___! I can still show it to you " he loudly reached for her attention.
____ was confused by his answer. Why would he risk so much for her?
" You would actually do that for me? "
He just nodded as an answer
" Isn't that against the rules? "
" Well yes.... But... If you want to see it..."
" Well I don't wanna get you in trouble"
She passed a small laugh
" Don't worry I'm used to it "
Newt shrugged
" If you say so, I still feel like I'm asking for too much. "
" If only all the muggles loved magic as much as you do, we would not have to hide. "
Newt never really cared much about politics. But his belief was to understand the other side instead of to fear it or hurt it. It's what made working with creatures difficult .
" It's hard to trust someone won't use that knowledge to hurt you or someone else, I still don't get why are you giving  me all this information.... It's risky despite the that fact my curiosity comes from a very childish place. "
Newt couldn't answer to her. What really was in his heart was quite confusing , how he liked ____, her company, her way of reacting to magic...Even though he was an adult he felt like a confused 16 year old when he was with her.
" I believe we should educate each other on our worlds, that way there is chance we might live together without the need to hide. "
Satisfied by his answer, something still bothered her.
" Is Newt just seeing me as Guinea pig "
Her heart sunk a little,  she didn't understand why, it's not like she loved Newt. But still, ____ felt some kind of a connection with him. The thought of him seeing her as nothing more than a unexplored species was jarring. Than again isn't she doing the same right now. Insisting on seeing Hogwarts and asking so much about the the Wizarding World. Though he invited her to Diagon Ally.
But it was not the time to think about that, since it was getting late, and if they wanted to visit Hogwarts now would the time.
They started to walk trough the dark forest.
" You will need to hold on to me until we get to the castle " Newt whispered
___ took his hand tightly, making him beyond anxious. They passed beyond the forest and finally reached Hogwarts . ____'s jaw dropped to the floor she tightened the grip around Newts hand.
" This is ..... "
" Hogwarts " Newt finished
" It's gorgeous! " she said
On the hight hill, surrounded by forests and one lake.
The lights still could be seen from the small windows .____ couldn't wait to explore it all. It was clear to Newt she wanted to see more by her expression.
" Come on let's go " he said and pulled her by the hand gently toward the boats  with little lanterns attached on top. They sat down and ____ still looked at Hogwarts like enchanted . It was like a place she had always dreamed about. Looking at her lovingly Newt didn't even realize he was still holding her hand. He quickly pulled his hand out of her grip, making her turn around to meet his eyes.
" Oh sorry about that  " he said nervously
" It's no problem, I got a little too  distracted to notice "
She gave him a warm smile, the light of the lantern landed on her beautiful face making Newt completely lost in her gaze and his thoughts.
" Besides your hands are so warm " she said with a slight smirk, making Newt blush a little and break away from her captivating eyes.
After a few moments of silence___ sighed
" It's so beautiful here Newt, I wish our world was this exciting..... "
Newt was conflicted on what to say, he can understand that she sees this world as stunning. But than again she didn't knew the horrors it can bring
" Trust me that beauty and excitement comes with great deal of pain... Besides your world it also has its charms" Newt said
She was impressed by his wise words
" I trust that's true "
" We have arrived " said Newt  and reached out his hand to help___ get off the boat
" Lumos " his wand started to glow, to___'s disbelief
" Awesome "
" It's actually a really simple spell, come on "
Glow of Newts wand was lighting up the way. They walked rater fast until they got to the yards for quidditch where they decided to make their stop.
" What are those "____ asked pointing at the giant circles stretching to the sky.
" Those are used for Quidditch "
" Quidditch? "
" Yes it's quite a popular sport , you have 4 balls...."
Newt explained the rules ,____ tried to keep the note of everything
" Did you play it? " she asked curiously
" Newt must have been amazing " She thought to herself, trying to imagine him flying to through the sky.
" Well a bit, I wasn't really good.. I payed as a chaser " he had quite a few embarrassing memories since Hufflepuff house wasn't really thriving in sport
" Really!? Whao... Can you demonstrate it?! "
She asked eagerly even though he pointed out the fact he wasn't good.
" Well....... " Newt looked away, quite conflicted on what he should do, but seeing ____ excited about magic, was in his mind worth the risk of embarrassing himself.
" Give a second, to find a broom " he quickly ran off, leavening her to wonder around
After a few minutes he came to the yard flying on a broomstick
" Bloody hell! " she screamed
He spinned facing ____ upside down
" I was never brilliant at flying, but I learned this trick from a friend "
" Mind if I hop on "
" Uh-yeah sure " Newt turned around swiftly and lowered himself to____
As soon as she jumped on he started to fly to the best of his ability.
She wrapped her hands around his waist and hesitated to open her eyes. She felt speed giving her the adrenaline rush and harsh wind hitting her face. Finally opening her eyes she realized they flew high up to the sky and could see the towers and roof of Hogwarts.
" Newt " she yelled
" Yes? "
" I think this might be the best day of my life"
Newt looked back and gave a small smile, he was quite proud of himself for managing to keep his cool and make a girl smile so much. The landing was a bit rough and they both almost fell, but____ just laughed it off
" I hope I'm not dreaming this Newt "
" I can assure you  its real " he added
A little after putting everything back, heavy snow strated to fall
" What are we gonna do? My house is far away for us to walk to there " asked ____
" I have an idea, but it will be quite dangerous since we would break many rules in the process"
She raised her eyebrow
Newt was aware they could have just  apparated back to her home. But he wanted to show her more of Hogwarts and ___ wished to explore it.
" Go on... "
" Just follow me " he took her hand and they stared to run as quickly as possible. Newt made an umbrella out of his wand.____ let out a small sneeze making Newt stop to take off his coat and scarf
" No Newt you don't have to do that " He put the coat gently on her shoulders and loosely tied the scarf
" Newt you will catch a cold  " she scoffed
" There is absolutely no need for you to worry, now lets go "
" I'm starting to think that's your catchphrase "
" No, it's my philosophy "
They reached the front gate and entered Hogwarts. To the best of their ability they tried to be swift and quite.
___ walked a couple of steeps behind Newt, admiring the architecture. She observed as much as details as possible, while trying to be silent.
It still hasn't sunk in quite properly that this is all real and that she is hearing portraits talk.
Newt brought her to the small halls connected to the kitchen
" Where are we? "
" At the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room"
" It's next to the kitchens. "
" Yes, I'm still wondering how I managed to stay in shape given how many times, my friends and I would sneak around to steal food "
" I'm wondering how will manage not to catch a cold or worse fever "
He intentionally ignored her statement, hoping she wouldn't find it offensive.  Tapping  the barrels of vinegar the door unlocked revealing to ___ the room beyond them. Observing the space before her, she felt intense wonder and exhilaration. The room was round, with shelfs on which plants were layed, tables made of wood, couches with color Newt said was of this house.
" If you look at the windows you will notice, our common room is slightly underground " mentioned Newt, pulling her attention to him, before she in slince continued to look at the scenery ariund her . It came as surprise to Newt that she still didn't comment on anything.
" It's overwhelming.... " She finally let out a word.
" What exactly? "
" Everything it's so beautiful here, I can only imagine what else lies in this castle "
" Trust me when I say many of people who have spent their fair share of time here don't know "
" I can believe in that " she said looking at Newt over her shoulder.
Stopping the silence, was Newts loud sneeze.____ had a concerned and almost angry expression on her face making Newt swallow a lump in his throat.
" Put your clothes to dry Mister Scamander! And get some sheets and blankets "
" But I'm fine "
" Yeah is that why you sneezed? "
They put all of their wet clothes to dry. Newt covered himself with a blanket with Hufflepuff color palet pulling it around his shoulders.
" Where are you going? "
Newt asked as___ was reaching the door nob.
" To brew some tea of course "
" Wait you will not be able to come back into the common room "
" And that's why you are coming with me " she winked
Newt's stare lingered at her for a short while. This time he was waking a couple of steeps behind her.
Also passing her some directions.
They entered the kitchen. Wide, with loads of cupboards with warm color palette.
" You know you don't have to this I'm fine"
" Newt... "
" Yeah "
" With all due respect stop talking and help me find the tea " she said while her eyes were fixed on the cupboards
Newt hated to admit but her harsh tone was attractive to him. He loved her assertive side as much as he loved the gentle one. Still it was weird to him that he had so much feelings and reactions to someone who he knows very little about.
Without wasting any more time, Newt pulled out his wand and pointed it at some of the higher cupboards
" Accio "
Lots of jars came flying, neatly placing themselves in front ___
Tea was of all colors, and as ___ suspect absolutely beautiful scents.
" These look amazing "
" Yeah the Cosy elves have some of the best tea on the market "
" Let's see there is chocolate tea, blue bottle with lavender, strawberry with vanilla, lemon and mango, orange, orange, raspberry with dried rose fruit... Which one is your favorite " she turned to Newt and asked
" Well I always liked lemon and mango "
" Exotic "
" And what will you take " he was qurious to know
" I guess I will go with raspberry "
The hot cup gave Newt warm feeling trough out his whole body. The sweet smell spread out all over kitchen. They sat on a couple of wooden chairs next to an also wooden table.
Newt took a small careful sip
" It's amazing as i remember it to be "
" I'm glad i did a good job " she also sipped a bit of hers
" How is yours "
" Amazing, everything here is amazing this kitchen is so big and pretty and the castle don't even get me started "
Newt giggled, making her embarrassed a little
" Did i say something stupid? " she asked concerned
" No not at all  " his mind was a mess he didn't know how to tell her" I... III... I just think it's........... Quite "
____ tried her best to follow his sentence, but he couldn't even finish.
They heard some voices and second after a group kids walked trough the door. The four of them looked like they were at their third year of Hogwarts.
____ and Newt turened to them.The two groups stared at each other with amazement and confusion
" Oh no " uttered Newt silently
The kids pulled their wands out and point at them
" Who are you? "
Out playfulness they both put their hands in the air
" We are.... "
As ____ was about to come up with something, she was interrupted, again someone came to the kitchen.
It was the head of the Hufflepuff house, Professor Bonney, Newt certainly did recognize her. She was a slander pale woman with short black hair and gray eyes.
" You kids, when will you learn that you can't go out of bed this late at night. " she took a quick look of the  situation, her eyes widened with shock
" NEWTON ARTEMIS FIDO SCAMANDER! WHAT IN THE NAME OF MERLIN ARE YOU DOING HERE!!!!! "
Hearing his full name like that in front of____ surely was humiliating, but it was not the time to think about that, he tried to smile at her and say something alas
" Good evening professor. I.... Came to visit. " was all he could do at the moment
She raised her black eyebrow
" Came to visit? After all that has happened and this late at night? I find that hard to belive you little troublemaker!"
She than proceeded to glance at___
Newt for second almost had  heart attack
" She will figure her out, we left our clothes to dry in the common room"
But as Newt took a second look he noticed his yellow tie still around her neck, it was like a heavy rock fell off his chest.
" And you are? " the professor asked
" I'm Lavender May.... I'm Newts assistant "
Newt was kinda impressed by how quick her thoughts were.
___ quick lie soon sparked Newt an idea
" Assistant.. Now that think it about i could use a companion "
Newt was a little surprised by himself, given how bad he was with human interaction.
" Really? Something seems off about you " She tilted her head a little to the side
Both____ and Newt felt nervous
" I don't recall you being a student here..."
Newt than quickly answered
" She is from Ilvermorny "
" Oh, how come you have the tie of Hufflepuff and a British accent "
" I was born here and my family moved to America when i was 3. As for the tie... "
" I gave it to her " said Newt" I thought it might suit her well "
" I'm calling Dumbledore. You kids stay here and don't make any more trouble " she went away swiftly
" Is Dumbledore the headmaster? " asked____
" No... She is calling Dumbledore cause she knows he will let us stay without consequences. You know Miss Bonney always acts strict, but she is actually a sweetheart "
___ smiled
After about 10 minutes they heard a voice calm and soft as silk
" Well well, I hear one of my students got into trouble again "
It was Dumbledore, kids looked at him with slight fear in their eyes
" Don't worry it's not you. Newt Scamander" his eyes stared directly at Newt
"Trouble seems to be jealously holding onto you " he proceeded to comment and spotted____ with those  blue eyes of his shift his look from Newt
" Bringing a muggle into Hogwarts. "
Kids looked shocked
" Muggle!? She!? "
" I'm so sorry Sir I wanted to see the school and... " She stuttered
Newt determinedly cut in
" Than the storm started to brew up so we hid here "
Albus tilted his head back and laughed a bit
" Don't worry, I'm not gonna send you to Azkaban no need to be so nervous. And why are you here?"
He focused his attention to 3rd years
" Well.... " they pointed out to left overs from dinner
" Oh, ok I see, I suppose we could all use some supper right now. Have you 2 eaten anything since i saw you in Diagon Alley? "
" Now that I think about no, i guess i was operating on pure adrenaline " answered____
Newt nodded
" Are you sure it was adrenaline in you case Newt? " Albus raised his eyebrow playfully
Leaving the 2 of them confused
" Anyways let's have dinner "
Everyone took their wands out and made the table. Putting on it everything from what was left of chicken to salads of all kinds, cakes, muffins, cupcakes.
" I guess I will just brew more tea " said ____
After everything was done she placed the cups next to each plate
The dinner was obviously exquisite
" Hey Miss Muggle " one of the kids said
" How is like in your world "
She looked at blonde girl with big blue eyes who asked
" Yeah tell us " the kids seemed eager to know
" Well..... "
Dumbledore looked at Newt, who dreamily started at _____ as she talked about Muggle world
" Oh to be young and to feel loves keen sting " commented Albus
Newt turned to him and blinked
" What? "
" It really got you bad "
Newt looked at him with his disbelief expression
" I already told you today, it's not like that "
Dumbledore ignored
" You know when a man is inlove, he feels like the whole world is singing around him "
Newt let out a small sigh of frustration
" I'm not 16 anymore "Newt stirred his tea
" You certainly do act like it, when you see her. You know Newt, love can twist us. Makes us do things we never thought we would do. "
" Would you know that from personal experience"
Newt hesitated to ask, he didn't want to sound rude given the current situation.
But Dumbledore seemed fine with it
" Yes..... I was crazy. Having fantasies of me and him as glorious leaders of a revolution. Driven by revenge, arrogance...Blinded by passion, infatuation took me over or should i say he took me over. "
Newt didn't have anything to say to that, he glanced at____ having fun with the students. Dumbledore begun to speak again
" Wider die Liebe ist kein Kraut gewachsen."
Newt looked confused
" There is no cure for love, the quote was in Germain "
Newt slowly picked up his tea cup, and after taking a sip he commented
" You were really committed "
" Yes Gallert would often teach me Germain and I would tell him of British culture. That's how our days went, than came the talk of great liberation of wizards and things went really sour from that point on. But this is not about me, I digressed. My point was passion can do strange things to us. You are not aware of how dreamily you look at her "
Newt blushed from embarrassment
" Newt your feelings wont mysticaly go away, sometimes you can't fight them or as the quote says cure them "
" I'm not even sure how i'm feeling. "
Dumbledore had nothing to say to that, he believed that there was both confusing and denial in him.
" You 2 should probably get back to the common room. Until your clothes dry " Albus suggested
So they did until the morning came
It was really early about 6am, they slowly and quietly opened the door before they heard a whisper. It was the third year students from last night
" Miss Muggle thank you it was really fun talking with you "
She smiled back
" Same for me, good luck in school "
"Thank you, you too with your book "
" Be sure to bring us a copy "
" If i get the chance to sneak in like this again i will certainly "
" Also Mister Scamander "
Newt turned around
"Can't wait for your book presentation. It's so amazing to be in a same house as you "
" Thank you " he said humbly and pointed to his yellow-black scarf
*****************
By the time they got to ____'s house it was already dawn. It looked gorgeous the beautiful red orange sun raising over the forest reflecting golden light in a newly fallen snow.
They reached their destination
____ handed Newt his belongings, they almost said goodbye until he uttered
" Wait! I almost forgot " he searched in his case
___ tilted her back slightly to the side, chuckling
" You don't have to hurry so much Newt "
He pulled out a book and put it in ___'s hands.For a brief moment they touched.
" I promised you i would bring it " Newt was saying as he let go of ___'s cold hands
She looked at the cover, it was delicate dark blue filled with golden patterns creating various creatures and triangle like images. In the center  was written in golden letters
"Newt Scamander Fantastic Beasts and where to find them "
" It's your book " she said excitedly
" It's absolutely beautiful! Congratulations Newt "
She unexpectedly hugged Newt, it was truly surprising to him. Her hands were around his neck , her head buried in his shoulder
He still had his arms down until he wrapped them around her waist.
" Thank you "
None of them were neither nervous or flustered
Which confused Newt, it was very loving hug. It was doing the opposite to him, it relaxed him .
She slowly pulled away, Newts hands still on her waist
" I'm so happy for you! " she cracked up a big smile
" Will i be ever be seeing you again " She asked with mellow tone
" I.... I... I can come over if you would like... I don't mean to be rude and invite myself..... I "
" Of course you can come over "
******************************
She waved her hand before closing the door.
Newt felt strange happy energy flowing trough him. It was lifting him up which seemed so silly to him.
He looked at the tie ___ wore and put it on his lips
" It still has her smell...."
He was shocked by his own mind and really ashamed
" Oh Merlin " Newt mumbled to himself
