Not Just An Animal (Newt Scamander x Reader)

Chapter 1 - page 4

You knew that Newt had you at a disadvantage, not knowing what 'obliviate' means, but a brisk theory that isn't pleasant, and so you reluctantly agree to his terms with a quick "alright then..", as Newt had a face of content confusion for a moment, but fixed it to that of a pleased one, replying with "good! T-thank you for accepting my offer, Miss; I will make sure to take care of you well in these few days! Wait here for a moment, I will be back." 

Newt left the room in a quick pace, as you sit in place, hearing a lot of noise from outside the area you are in, sounding like rummaging through drawers or something similar. You anxiously await Newt's return, curious to what he is doing outside the cramped yet homely shack.

He enters the room you are in once again, holding up a stained and somewhat tattered white lab coat that is too big for you, cotton navy vest and black pants in your size, and passes them to you. He says: "these are some clothes that should fit you better than what you went through a war with there; they should do for whilst you stay here with me..". You move into the small closet he points to, and get dressed, walking out of the room with your wings and tail still tucked into the clothes and out of sight, and your wolf ears hidden in a witch hat you found in the closet. Your hands were still covered by the bandages, and you had on some snow boots you needed for the outside lesson you should have had. The last things you did were to hide your special knife in an inside pocket of the lab coat, and put the goggles you also found in the room, onto your forehead because you thought they looked stylish with the hat.

Newt admired your appearance in the clothing as you stepped out, and guided you towards the nest of the snake creatures with wings and spoke to start his teachings; "these are called Occamies, they are generally hostile to strangers due to their shells being made of the purest silver, so it is their defensive method to survive those that seek the shells" he stated with a vast knowledge of these creatures. You enjoyed being in the presence of the Occamies as you reached out to them slowly, not breaking eye contact with the one that slithers forward to meet your soft gaze. 

Newt flinched, expecting a yelp of pain from you, but the rest of the Occamies slithered to your hand and rubbed against it softly, seeking affection from you. Newt seemed shocked by this, but came over and fed the creatures regardless, layering his amazement with compassion for the creatures instead. One of the Occamies didn't want to leave you, and slithered up your arm and into your scarf, where it lay comfortably and softly nuzzled it's head into your neck as it enjoys your company greatly.

Newt admired your affinity of caring for the creatures, but also suspected something was abnormal with it due to you being a regular muggle in his vision. He began to examine you very thoroughly, and it was only a matter of time before he found out your secret at the rate he moves and thinks.
