Newt Scamander x Reader :Fantastic Adventures with Newt Scamander

6

One week later on a chilly Saturday afternoon.
Silenced filled ____ ' s residences.
The reason for that was that both Newt and ____ ( who as promised came for a visit) were in deep thoughts playing chess.
" Check mate " she smiled proudly
Newt raised his hands in the air playfully as both of them laughed
" Should we go another round " he asked
" Sore loser ay? " the smirked crept on her face
" Do i sense fear? " Newt argued back
" What makes you feel so? "
" The fact that you refused to play again "
" I never refused Newt " the same smirk stayed on her gorgeous lips. Which Newt stared at longer than he actually should have had.
" I will go pour us something before we start "
Newt started to search his case while ____ was pouring them fresh pumpkin juice.
She put both glasses on the table and looked as Newt assembled the pieces
" That is Wizarding chess looks like the Muggle one "____ commented.
Newt than ordered knight to move the rook. Knight hit the rook so hard it fell of the board.
___ raised both eyebrows at the sight.
" Oh well that is certainly unusual "
After and hour of silence and concentration. That atmosphere was shattered by Newts declaration.
" Check mate "
" Fair enough "
" Who's a sore loser now " he joked
" We are still even, besides this is Wizarding chess "
" Hey it's not my fault you were more fascinated with moving figures than focusing on the game "
" Well i can't help it's all so wonderful"
Newt laughed a little as she defended her child-like amazement.
" What is it...,? " She said quite embarrassed.
" Nothing i find that..... I find that..... Quite... Adorable "
Newt felt like his gut dropped to the floor and millions of pixies were rasing in his blood.
____ could barely stop her face from blushing if that was even possible.
She didn't know what to say
" You are adorable. "
She tried to brush it off playfully. The whole scenario ended quite awkwardly for both of them.
____ went to the sink to wash the dishes and Newt followed and insisted on helping. Seeing her cups flying in air never failed to make her smile.
" Did you read my book? " asked Newt and tried not to seem pushy
" Yes...... 5 times " she bowed her head a little in shame.
Newts eyes widened with surprise and excitement.
" Really? Did you like it? " though the answer was quite obvious.
" Yes if course! I loved it  "
" I'm so glad! What about your book? " Newt enthusiastically asked
But her expression got gloomy and her eyes backed off from his and focused in the dishes.
" I was rejected by a third publishing house i submitted my work to ... "
Guilt overcame Newt, he felt bad about asking. He wanted to say something but on a second thought no matter what he said the situation wouldn't get any better.
She escorted him to the exit and they said goodbye. It all ended quite sour.
Newt tried to distract his mind but his thoughts always came back to her. He started to think about the idea he had for a while.Looking at the clear winter sky he came to realization what contrast it was to his messy thoughts. He unlocked his door
" Bunty! Bunty are you here? "
The woman came in with her red hair tied into two buns
" Newt you came home "
" Bunty I need to ask you for advice "
" Sure go ahead " Bunty has known Newt for a while and supported him thought out his career. He knew that she is the right person to ask.
" Bunty about my journey ... I think i want to bring someome  along "
" Well that's great Newt, a companion would suit you well. " she smiled
Deep down she hoped he would ask her...
" I know but i have a problem..... She is muggle "
Dissapointment went trough her as did the confusion. But she was determined to help  him .... Cause that is what you do when you love someone.
" Newt you are aware how dangerous that can be"
" Yes.... "
She put her hand over his shoulder
" I know it's hard, but Newt no matter what choice you make you are gonna regret it.... "
" So what should i do " his eyes were sincere and troubled. It hurt Bunty to see him like this
" What you have always done... Do what you think it's right. Ask her, you never know what may happen. There is a chance she might reject you, but if she says yes... You must promise me to be careful "
Newt took her hand
" Thanks Bunty "
She smiled
" Of course I'm always be there for you "
Newt laid in bed and looked at the ceiling
" This is so selfish.... What If I put her in great danger  "
He forced his eyes to close to catch some sleep before dawn.
Tomorrow he basically ran to____'s house. His nervous state allowed him no less than that.
As he was about to ring on the front door they opened reveling____ behind them
" Newt! " she squealed with a loud gasp
" What a pleasant surprise, what brings you here "
" Well i wanted to talk to you about something... "
" Really i was just going to do some shopping care to join me "
" Yeah sure... "
She let out a small giggle
" Now you can see the shopping district of Muggle world. Though it's not as interesting "
" I'm sure it will be fun "
" You are too nice Newt "
They walked around the eager crowd all in hurry to get home before 3 p.m for Sunday lunch. While Newt and___ took their time
" Ah I love this place "___ let out sigh
" Does it bring good memories back? "
" Yes my family and i used to come here together every Sunday. I carried out that tradition "
" You seemed to be very close with them.... "
" Yes... My dad was a doctor and my mom a house wife. My grandparents also lived with us. They passed away when i was 12. "
" What happen to your parents? " as soon as Newt realized how insensitive his question is he nervously started to say
" I'm so sorry I didn't mean to ask that you don't have to tell me "
" It's okay, my mom got ill and died when i was 19. My dad felt immense guilt since he was a doctor and followed her a year after. Despite how unhappy they were that I wanted to be a writer we still had lovely memories till the very end. What about you Newt? "
Newt didn't even had the chance to express his empathy for___. He assumed she didn't want to talk about it anymore considering the change of topic.
" Me... Well my mom was a hypogliff breeder, that's where i got my love for creatures from, she too like your parents  wasn't happy that i decided to be a magizoologist  . I have a brother and a father as well. We are quite a chaotic family all three of them moved to London. While i was fine with living in our old house "
" Are you still in contact? Sorry if i'm asking too much "
" It's okay, me and my brother chat from time to time. "
" You are all wizards? "
" Yes we are a pure blood family "
" Pure blood? "
" You have pure bloods when everyone in family is born with magic, half bloods whose one parent is muggle or a muggleborn. And than there are muggleborns. Kids whose parents are both muggles but the child is born with magic. In Wizarding world most favored are the pure bloods that's where most political fuss comes from "
" Do you get involved in it? "
" Me no, my parents since i was a kid they never really given much thought about it. I don't know about now. My brother however is an Auror he works for the Ministry so it's his job to get involved"
" Aurors you described them as small minded. "
" Yeah they are really no better than the people the fight against "
" You mean that dark Wizard you mentioned his name Gallert Grindelwald. "
" Yes him... "
" Newt if i understood you correctly ministry wants to keep the Wizarding community hidden and Grindelwald is working against that... Excuse my ignorance but why is he wrong?"
" Cause he thinks wizards are superior to muggles and should rule above them.His victory would probably end in genocide. "
" So he is hiding behind a very controversial law "
" Yes "
" And what do you think "
" I think we should all live together without hiding, but that is very navie of me. Considering muggles see us as threat or tools to use and we see muggles as inferior. I try not to bother too much with these topics and live my life the way i want to. "
" Isn't it hard sometimes "
" Yes.... "
" Sorry i bothered you with this topic"
" No it's actually good for us to talk about it since we come from different worlds "
" Different worlds " that sentence lingered in ____'s  mind. It was like a drawing a wedge between her and Newt.
As much as he hated politics Newt knew this was actually a good conversation to have with ____ before he asks to join him.
.....................
_____ made lunch for the two of them delicious as always.
Newt put his head in his hands
" Why is everything she cooks so good" he thought frustrated yet satisfied
" Newt! " she yelled cheerfully bringing a tray with two rather big cups
" I thought you might want some hot chocolate "
She placed his drink before him. Newt stared at the cup with wiped cream and marshmallows on top wondering how are the bottoms on his shirt gonna hold up since the sent created made him crave the drink even more that it's appearance.
" Newt... When you came here you said you wanted to ask me something... "
Newt felt anxiety shot trough him, like his stomach was swirling around, fingers were shaking and felt like doxies were flying in his blood.____ took a noticed of this she felt a little worried herself
" After my book publication, i will present it in most famous magical schools in the world. I..... I want you to accompany me... I know it's bold request but i feel like your presents will assist me... I know it's stupid. And I will totally understand if you reject me, it's dangerous "
She looked in shock and disbelief... Why did he choose her.... It was like a dream come true for her to go on great journey and live this gray and lonely world and with Newt non the less.....
But she is a muggle this could put both of them in danger, who knows what the ministry could do to them
" But Newt you and i... we are.... "
He took her hands in loving yet strong grip
" I know! Trust me i promise to protect you with everything i have " This was the first time she saw such determination and confidence in him. Except that time he was drunk but that wasnt really him.
She was still conflicted though and the rush of excitement from Newt holding her hands wasn't really helping her to think clearly.
" Newt i need time to think.... How much can you give me? "
" One week i hope that's enough... "
" It's just what I need.... "
It was the next day____ could barely get any sleep that night she could only write prons and cons of her going on this trip with Newt. Even now at 8 am in the morning she stared at one of  her many notebooks trying to make a decision.
" It's so selfish and dangerous to say yes. Not to mention scandalous" Her face got red of thought of her and Newt all alone for God knows how much time.
She slapped her cheeks.
" Keep it together! Maybe this trip can help get out of this gray lonely town and experience the world and give me some inspiration for my novels. But how much can i trust myself and Newt in this situation. "
" UGHHHHH " She groaned in frustration
" I need to get outside "
She grabbed her coat and rushed to get some air
Walking aimlessly her thoughts were getting even more scattered and her feet brought her to hers parents resting place.
" I bet both of you would be so disappointed in me. You always hated the fact that I'm a writer..... Despite that i still miss you.... "
Looking at the grave of her parents provoked a thought just the one she needed
" What is left for me here...."
