Case Full of Fics [Newt/Theseus x Reader]

Paperwork and Mistletoes - T

Hello friends!! Here's a sweet fluffy one for you guys! I know it's a little late since Christmas was days ago, but I just had to  finish this up. The whole mistletoe thing may be overdone but it's a classic for me. Hope you guys enjoy! Definitely more Theseus to come!!

You stood off to the side and watched as the party started to wind down, savoring the last few sips of eggnog that you had left in your cup. You were pretty surprised at the huge turn out, no Christmas party of the Auror Department was as large as it was this year. But, you were sure the new Head Auror had something to do with that. Well, he wasn't exactly new anymore, in just a few weeks it would mark exactly one year since he'd been promoted to the position.

You took your last sip and set your cup down on the table next to you, scanning the faces of the left over crowd you didn't spot Theseus Scamander anywhere. He was probably busy engrossed in conversation with a group of people surrounding him. You knew it was foolish of you to harbor a crush on him, he was technically your boss after all. But, like most of the female members of the department you couldn't help but be attracted to him. Your conversations with him mostly revolved around work, but he was always kind enough to take the time to ask about you and how you were doing. Although, sometimes you felt a teasing undertone to your interactions. 

You could only dream of something more. You thought maybe today would be a good enough excuse to spend some extra time with him, but things didn't go as planned. Even if he'd been free to talk to you, you most likely would not have taken the chance.

Most of the people began saying their goodbyes and making their way to the elevators to head home. At least it had been a successful Christmas party and everyone had enjoyed themselves. It had been amusing to see the enchanted mistletoes appear and disappear above unsuspecting victims.

"(Y/N)!" you quickly turned around and were greeted by Ingrid, a huge smile on her face. She was one of your closest friends here, the both of you started working at the same time. You vaguely remembered her from your Hogwarts days, but you were glad the two of you finally connected here.

"Ingrid?" you responded, an eyebrow raised in question to the enthusiasm that was radiating off of her.

"It happened!"

"What happened—" you quickly realized what she was referring to, "Really! Just now?"

"Yes!" Ingrid put her arms around you, "The mistletoe appeared right above Henry and I... Oh it was so wonderful!"

"Oh, I'm so glad for you," you put your arms around her as well, pulling her into a hug. Ingrid and Henry had been dancing around each other for weeks, but the mistletoe was the push they needed.

Ingrid pulled away, growing a bit bashful.

"We're going to be spending the day together tomorrow," she said, a soft smile on her lips, "What about you? Any luck on Mr. Hotshot- Head- Auror?"

"Please Ingrid," you shook your head at her teasing, "you know that's just a fantasy that's never going to be fulfilled. Besides I'm sure a majority of the women here had the same idea."

"Well, I'm always rooting for you," she said.

"I appreciate it," you smiled at her, "I hope you and Henry have a great time tomorrow."

"Thank you! I promise I'll tell you all about it on Monday."

With that said, Ingrid turned around and began making her way towards the elevators. There were only a few people left over and the house-elves had began cleaning up all the cups, plates, and tables. You headed towards your office intending to grab your things and make your way home.
