MASTERLIST #2
Navigation!
Let me know if there are any characters you’d like added and I’ll look into it! :)
Smut = **
What I will NOT write for under any circumstance: R@pe, incest, anything to do with pee or poo, hardcore bdsm or anything like that type of smut, kidnapping reader for love, anything stalker, abuse unless it’s for angst but I won’t go into detail about the abuse (though I will do like slapping/spanking for smut it cannot have malicious meaning behind it, and there is always consent for that)
Also let me put this by itself, pregnancy is also way off the table. It’s 6 feet underground. I understand it’s part of life and it’s beautiful , and that’s for people to decide but personally I find just the concept of that horrifying and gross. I do breeding kink yes, but no description of pregnancy. (No hate to pregnant people I just can’t stand the concept of pregnancy in any form.)

Magical Hands | Theseus Scamander x fem Reader
A/n: hey omg absolutely!! thank you so much for the request! hehe also thank you for including some elements you want!!
warning: 18 PLUS ONLY!! smut! spicy!
word count: 1471
Tumblr media
While you did work with a ton of Aurors there was one in particular you couldn't stand, and maybe it was because he slightly made you weak but it was also just because of his arrogance. You hated how he boasted about how good he was  at his job, and how you felt immeasurable compared to him. You wanted the Head Auror position, had been working towards it for a few years now and kept getting sidestepped by Thesus Scamander himself. How his brother was a completely different person, you had no idea. The man never ever let you get more than a  few steps in front of you before he came in and stole what you thought was your position away from you. 
You back talked to him, trash talked him even said his magic was flimsy, it was not, you just did everything you could to beat him down but it never worked. You knew he hated it, was annoyed by it, and that slightly made it better for you. The teasing and the banter, in your own way was showing him you did in fact want to be better but also that there was some other deeper level of attraction towards him. 
It was one night during a particularly tough case that you and Theseus stayed late to work on it, in separate offices of course. You had scanned through some papers and had written up the incident report for the day and was going to drop it off to Thesaurus, not without some banter along the way.
“Well if it isn't the Great Aurora” you said as you hugged the doorway to his office. Thesis huffed a breath and looked up from where he was hunched over a large table in the room. 
“What do you want?” he asked, looking at you now. You slowly meandered into the room. 
“That's a lot of papers,” you said, ignoring his question. 
“Yea, it's from the mess at the docks”
“Ah…I see even your greatness cant solve it” you said, trying at anything for him to take the bait like he sometimes does. 
“Again what is it you want” he asked, clearly not amused by what you were saying or baiting. 
“Why do you assume I want something?” you asked, snapping a bit at him. 
“I don't have time for this y/n '' he said, pulling his attention back to his work, that he had slowly started to put back into piled. 
“Aww can't pull yourself away for two minutes” you asked him as he was moving the things off the table, making you lean back on it watching him.
“Y/N '' Theseus said, snapping his head back to you, annoyance ringing clear in your name. 
“Poor Theseus can’t…” you were cut off by his lips slamming onto yours, the clear force shoving your hips and ass further into the table. You were caught off guard for the first time in years. He slid his hands onto your waist lifting you without hesitation and putting you on the table. His eyes met yours, the pure lust and hunger on his face made you slowly unravel from the mask you had put on around him. 
“Theseus?” you asked slowly wondering what was happening. He stepped back, gathering himself. 
“Sorry i…”
“I didn't tell you to stop,” you told him, “I only wanted to know…why?”
“Why? Are you kidding me? For years you have been doing this act this flirtation annoying act…i cant take it for one more moment”
“You knew?”
“Of course I knew, I see how you are around the other Aurors and it's only to me that you do this,” he said, gesturing to you, the attitude you had with him. He walked back over, you let your legs spread apart the skirt you had on rising slowly as you did, showing more and more skin. A growl escaped his lips as he stood in between them. 
“You wear those just for me?’ he asked, referencing your skit and the little number you had on underneath that he had a view of.  
“Not intentionally” you told him
“Hmm so you just hopped id see your little number?”
“Maybe…maybe I'll bend in front of you, act like I'm going to pick something up and then…leave you there wanting more,” you told him, making him grip your legs. 
“Tell me darling…you like being such a brat?” he asked you hand slowly making its way up your body then landing on your neck, wrapping around it slightly. You groaned, rocking your hips against the air, something Theseus caught. “Oh darling, cant be doing that now can you” he said. His other hand sliding up your thigh twords those little red undwewear you put on, and almost right twords your spots but stopping at the top of your thigh and squeezing. You were being teased and you knew it. The amount of restraint he was trying to have, became apparent to you when you saw him eyeing your skin and the hand wrapped around your neck. You wanted him to squeese, wanted him to slip sinde, you wanted all of him, however aggressive. You desperatly wanted that hunger to devour him and consume you. He eyes you again, making your skin heat up more and more from his gaze, his hunger. 
“What are you so hesitant about?” you asked him, his eyes jumped to meet yours.
“Dont want to go to far”
“I want to go far with you” you told him, “devoir me baby”  you told him, tilting your head up giving him the etire access to yourself. He squeezed your neck pulling himself into you. The squeezing from his hands sent you into space, your kisses were sloppier yes but he didnt care, not one but as he saw the ecstasy on your face. He left your lips, and gassed longly at your neck where is hand was wrapped around it and your eyes were glossy from the feeling. He let go, letting the life return to your eyes. You gazed lost at him, from the relised feeling of his hand and the blood and air circulating back up to your head. He ran his hand down your neck, grazing over your chest before stopping at your waist. 
“Darling…” he started, the longing in his face, he wanted something. 
“Anything you want” you told him, the look he gave you or terror and pleasure was enought to make you want to brake on this table. He moved your hair back, beefore he took that jacket off leaving just in an almost skin tight blue shirt, showing his flexing msussles underneath and that body you wanted ontop of yours. You pulled him back to you by his belt and pulled your self and him flush while still on that table. He could tell what you waned, and what he was definitely going to do to you. Your underware was slow to be slipped off by the hand that had come back to rest by your thighs. That red piece fell to the floor, leaving the cold air to make you hiss slightly. The building tension you had for him, to do whatever he wanted to you, was insufferable. This shirt was unbuttoned slowly by your hands, wanting to just feel him. Once it was and his shirt fell you knew without even looking that all his windows and the door were locked and no one was interrupting hhat you two were doing. You new a charm of silence and cast it around the room, and the growl from Thesus when he felt it put into place almost made you loose yourself again. 
“No interruptions anymore” he said. Slowly most of your cloths were gone, and he stood there watching you, your body, as it cured to his touch. And when it was just the two of you those charms were truly needed. What ou never knew was how much thesusu enjoyed chocking you and how much he enjoyed bitting you, your neck, your thighs. You never wanted him to stop devouring you, the biute marks leaving deep red and almost bloody imprints on your skin. His thrust sent you into ecstasy, that table helping both of you that night. He made you reach the hevsns while keeping you tied down to earth. 
The next day those bite marks along your neck and chest were on display for the entire department to see, and when people got a glance at the matching set of hickies on Theseus neck and those leading down his chest, not that they could see those but you knew, the entire office was in shambles about the two of you. Those bite marks and the non visible imprint his hand left on you kept you going back to each other.

trouble maker!reader x theseus scamander would cure me
their connection is based on the trouble reader gets into but he needs to recruit them for something and now they have to work together
even better if theseus stands up for reader or hides reader or does something to prove his feelings
sorry if this is too specific! do you what you want with it!
YES. Love this!!!
As @kalllistos knows, I've had PLENTY of thoughts around this one. I imagine something like a cat/mouse chase that's been going on, and Right when Theseus is about to catch reader, he needs to recruit her, so in another way, reader slips through his fingers!!!
So many possibilities with this one hehehe! Below is a lil progress snippet of what's been on my mind about this request.
Words: 0.4K, Pairing: Theseus Scamander x f!reader
Knowledge was power. 
Sure, the sentiment had lost its so-called impact as knowledge became more accessible and polarizing. However, regardless of the phrase’s overuse, it would remain true. It welcomed a dangerous game, competition, and oftentimes mischief. 
You hadn’t meant to get caught. You hadn’t meant to create a chase. You hadn’t meant to be met with an ultimatum, but you knew knowledge came with repercussions.  
Life behind a desk would have been a nuisance if it weren’t for the access it provided you. The governing body of the magic world had a plethora of forgotten books, ancient books, and, most importantly, restricted books. 
During your first years working in the Ministry, you hadn’t realized that the restricted ones, the untouched ones, weren’t stored with the others. It was a clever defense, but they were far too easy to find tucked away perfectly for you to stumble upon. 
It was harmless at first, whispering memorized incantations to gain access. Some would consider what you did was greedy—stealing the books. Yet, others would soon learn your name and call you a much-needed zealot. 
Theseus called you love. 
It started as a mistake. It started before Theseus was appointed to chase you. Your pace picked up, praying the books within your charmed coat wouldn’t expose you. Looking behind you, you knew you were clocked. Then, naively, before you could realize there was another body in front of you, you barreled into their chest. 
Sorry, love. The only apology Thesues would give you. He was as kind as any Hufflepuff, putting other needs first and blindly placing his kindness. 
Some books spilled out as he continued his apologies while you scrambled to collect what had fallen. The small talk had begun, but the ringing in your ears drowned out as it paired with the heavy footsteps behind you. 
Mahoutokoro. Sounds like an interesting read. Theseus hadn’t recognized the book, handing it to you. But he started to catch onto the commotion behind him. Before he could question it, you reached deep within your coat. 
You hadn’t wanted to leave it behind, but you needed a buffer. The large, black, and silver volume was heavy as you let it fall open across the floor. A piercing, blood-curdling shriek split the silence with one high, unbroken, earsplitting note. 
While others reacted, you ran and have been running since.
FIND THE FIRST PART HERE.

Daylight - Theseus Scamander x Reader
A/N: This was a fun one to write <3
Series: Theseus Scamander x Harry's House (a collection of one-shots based off of Harry's newest album)
Song: Daylight
Word Count: 717
Warnings: Implied 😏 (cough cough), long distance relationship
Tumblr media
Theseus held you tighter to his chest when you tried to get out of bed, burying his head deeper into your neck, mumbling something about not wanting you to leave.
"I've got a train to catch, Theseus," You smiled, trying to pry his arm off of you, "I don't want to be late."
He grumbled, "I don't want you to go."
"It's not my decision, Thes, you know that," You sighed, "If I could stay, I would."
Turning towards him, you pressed a soft kiss to his lips, "I've got to go, Thes."
He lifted his hand, allowing you to shuffle out of bed, grabbing your robe and slipping it on.
"Not saying you look bad in a robe, but I think I preferred you without one." He called out as you made your way into the bathroom.
"Theseus!" You exclaimed, laughing to yourself as you began getting ready for your departure.
"Do you really have to leave?" He asked, appearing beside you, leaning against the doorframe, "You've only been here for a few days."
You frowned, scrubbing your hands in the sink, "It's the most I could get off. Trust me, if I could have stayed longer, I would have."
"I'm going to miss you," Theseus said, running a hand through his hair, "I wish I could just apparate to you."
"I wish you could, too, Thes. But apparating from one city to another isn't the same as trying to apparate across an entire ocean. MACUSA needs me there, and the Ministry needs you here."
"I need you here, too." He teased.
You smiled, taking his hands in his, "I'm sure you do."
You stepped out of the bathroom, your hair expertly styled, rouge applied to your lips and blush to your cheeks, wearing a light blue blouse and dark grey skirt.
Thesues smiled up at you between bites of cereal, "You look stunning, darling."
"Thank you," You grinned, jokingly curtsying, "Like royalty, right?"
"Like a Queen."
You walked over to him, wiping the milk off of his bottom lip, leaning in to give him a kiss goodbye. He placed a hand on your side, deepening the embrace before you pulled away, "I love you."
"I love you, too," He sighed, rising from his seat, "Let me walk you to the train station."
"Are you sure? I don't want you to be late for work."
"You're in for a long day. You've got a train ride and a flight to catch. It's the least I can do," Theseus said, slipping on his shoes and grabbing your suitcase, "Ready?"
You nodded, "I'm ready."
The train was about to depart, but neither one of you wanted to be the one to say goodbye first.
"I'm going to miss you," Theseus said, his forehead creased, "More than you know."
"We're going to make this work," You reminded him, "I don't think I can keep saying goodbye to you. It gets harder every time."
He nodded, "Tell me about it. I'm at the point where I'd rather join MACUSA than say goodbye."
You quirked a brow, "You can't stand the people at MACUSA. You'd hate it."
Theseus shrugged, "You're probably right, but I'd do it for you. I'd do anything for you."
"You would now, would you?"
"I would."
Smiling up at him, you laughed, "Start trying to find me a job at the Ministry. Nothing below what I'm doing now and I'll think about making the move."
"Really?" He asked excitedly, to which you nodded.
He wrapped you in a tight hug, kissing your forehead, cheeks, nose, and finally your mouth. It was what Americans would call a passionate goodbye.
The train's engine started, pulling you out of your trance.
"I'll see you soon." You said over the roar of the engine, "I love you."
"I love you, too!" He called out, your hand sliding out of his grasp as you walked towards the train.
Giving him one last wave, you stepped aboard, disappearing into the train.
Theseus smiled to himself, burying his hands in his pockets, watching as the train departed the station. He reached further into his pocket once you were out of sight, pulling out a black box. Flipping open the lid, he watched the diamond sparkle in the light. It wouldn't be long before that ring was on your finger.

You Are Enough (Theseus Scamander x Reader)
Summary: Theseus suffers from PTSD due to his time serving in WWI. His symptoms grow worse as the years go on. One night he wakes from a particularly bad nightmare and the reader helps him to finally confront and cope with his past. 
Warnings: Mentions of nightmares, war, people dying in the war (nothing too bad)
Word Count: 2.4K
A/N: This fic alternates back and forth between the reader’s pov and Theseus’ pov (tried to make that clear with the break lines). There’s a lot of angst in the beginning but I promise it has a fluffy ending :) 
Tumblr media
Theseus shot up in bed, gasping, panic coursing through his body. You woke with a start from the sudden noise, and turned over to see Theseus panicking, clutching his chest and gasping, eyes wide with terror. 
“Theseus?” you asked dazedly, rubbing the sleep from your eyes. You squinted  at the clock across the room, your vision slowly coming into focus. It was 2:23 in the morning. This was the third night in a row that you’d been jolted awake in the middle of the night by one of Theseus’s episodes. You’d be lying if you said you weren’t more than a little concerned about him. You scooted over on the bed to sit next to him, placing a hand on his back. “You okay?”
He swallowed hard and nodded but you could tell he was very shaken by whatever nightmare had woken him so abruptly. It scared you to see him like this, waking up in a cold sweat and panicking as though he was in life-threatening danger. You’d known him to have nightmares before, but they had never been so severe like this. 
“Theseus?” you tried again. “Thes, what happened?” You watched as he leaned back against the bed frame, eyes closed, visibly forcing himself to calm down and take deep breaths, though he continued to tremble all over.
“Just a little nightmare, love,” he said giving you an unconvincing smile, “nothing to worry about”. He closed his eyes again, struggling to regain his composure, and you could see his hands still shook. 
“Theseus, don’t lie to me,” you pleaded. It’s what he always did, pretending to be fine when he clearly wasn’t. Always too stubborn to admit he needed help. It was frustrating, to say the least, when it was so clear to you that he was in serious need of help. 
“I’m fine love, really,” he replied shakily. “It was just a dream. No reason to get all worked up”.
You bit your lip anxiously. You didn’t want to push him, but you knew that something was very wrong. ‘It’s not normal to have nightmares like this every night’, you thought. Something was haunting him and you couldn’t bear to see him like this any longer. It wasn’t just at night that he acted strange. It seemed that his demons, whatever they were, had started to plague his mind during the day as well. He had started to become distant and far off, repeatedly zoning out and forgetting things, which was very unlike him. 
In that moment, you made up your mind. You weren’t letting this go until you got some answers, no matter what. You cared about Theseus too much to let this slide.
You scooted over so that you were sitting cross-legged in front of him and took hold of his hands. “Theseus, we need to talk”, you said seriously. He looked up at you apprehensively, and you could both feel the tension in the air. 
“What’s there to talk about?” he asked. You knew he was trying to play dumb in order to get out of any confrontation.
“Thes,” you said gently, “I’m not stupid. The nightmares…..they’re getting out of hand. You barely sleep at night. Even during the day you seem distant and you always have this strange look in your eyes. It scares me Thes,” you said honestly. “I know you’d rather not talk about it, but Thes, I’m really worried”. You squeezed his hands and looked earnestly into his eyes, searching for any sign acknowledgement for what you said. You knew that he knew you were right - it was just a matter of getting him to admit it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Theseus felt himself shrink under your gaze and looked away sheepishly. He’d never meant to worry you. In fact, he’d been trying to do the opposite. Theseus had hoped that you wouldn’t notice because he hated feeling like a burden. To be honest, he thought he’d been doing a pretty good job of hiding his issues - minus the nightmares. Unfortunately, you were much more observant than he’d given you credit for. It was so like you, he thought ruefully, always noticing the little things that no one else saw.
Theseus sighed and looked up at you. He hated to see that worried look in your eyes. He hated even more that he was the cause of it. ‘I’m supposed to be the one worrying about her,’ Theseus thought, feeling even more ashamed of himself. ‘I'm supposed to be the one comforting her, but here I am making things worse’. He felt like such a failure.
He tried. 
He really did. He tried so hard. Tried so hard to get up everyday even though he’d barely slept. Tried so hard to live like a normal person. To smile and laugh like everyone else. To be there for you when you needed him. To forget the war. To forget the faces of the men who died by his side. To pretend like the pain wasn’t there. Like it wasn’t real.
But it was. It was real and it hurt. He’d managed to keep it at bay for a while, but now that he was finally forced to confront it, it overwhelmed him. He felt helpless as tears welled up in his eyes and it took all his willpower to keep them from falling.
“Oh Thes,” you whispered sadly, watching as he hastily wiped his eyes, desperate to hold back the tears. It tore up your heart to see how much pain he was in. You wrapped your arms around him and held him tightly. “Whatever it is love, please…..just tell me. I’m begging you Thes, don’t hold it in anymore”. 
You could feel him clutching the sides of your shirt as he just started to sob inconsolably into the crook of your neck. His chest heaved and his body shook as his grief consumed him. You stayed quiet, holding him close and rubbing soothing circles on his back. 
“I-I’m s-sorry,” he cried. “I d-didn’t...I just c-couldn't….”. He struggled to get the words out as he wept. “I n-never meant to m-make y-you worried”. His breaths came in short, sporadic gasps and he could barely speak. “I-I ju-just didn’t w-want to....to bother y-you”.
“Thes,” you said, taken aback at this statement. “You don’t have to apologize darling. You never have to apologize for this.” You rocked him back and forth, trying to soothe his aching cries. “I love you so much Theseus. You could never be a burden to me.” He didn’t respond - just held you tighter, still sobbing and clinging to you as though you were the only thing holding him together. 
You weren’t sure how long the two of you sat there before Theseus’s sobs died down and his body finally began to relax. He pulled back, giving himself a chance to get a full breath of air. He was a bit of a mess so you offered to get him some tissues, which he gratefully accepted. You hurried to the bathroom, grabbed a box of tissues, and quickly came back to sit by him. Theseus wiped his eyes and nose. He looked so broken and defeated, sitting there on the bed with his red, teary eyes and his head hung low. You were tempted to say something, anything to ease his pain, but you felt that you should stay quiet.
“He’ll talk when he’s ready,” you thought. “Best not to push him right now”.
Hours could have passed by and you wouldn’t have known the difference. All that mattered was that the man - your man - the one you loved so dearly, was wounded and hurting badly. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be honest, Theseus was at a loss for where to start. How to explain something he didn’t quite understand himself? But there was no going back now. He had to say something.
“For a long time now…”. He paused, grimacing. This was going to be harder than he’d thought. It was almost humorous. “Theseus Scamander, ‘The Great War Hero’,” he thought wryly. “Afraid to talk about a nightmare.” If people only knew. He shook his head, pushing those thoughts away. None of that mattered. All that mattered was you. 
He looked up at you, sitting there patiently, eyes kind and understanding. You had been there for him through thick and thin. You had loved him at his worst and celebrated his best. You and him were a team, and he knew it wasn’t fair to keep secrets from you. You of all people, deserved the truth. Theseus took a deep breath, gathering his courage.
“When I fought in the war…. I saw things - awful things ...things I’ll never forget…. I’d rather not go into detail about it,” he said, shuddering. It felt as though he was reliving it all over again. Theseus stared fixedly at the bedpost, trying to get a grip on himself as nauseating images of the war swarmed in the forefront of his mind. 
“After the war, everyone expected us to go back to our lives as though nothing had happened. Just expected us to forget what we’d seen and what we’d done. You know the rest. I moved back to England, found a job at the ministry, bought this flat, met you, eventually got promoted to Head Auror. Everyone always told me how lucky I was and how they admired me for what I did during the war and my accomplishments since then. You would think I had everything going for me huh?” He smiled sadly as tears began to roll down his face but they were not painful like before. They were tears of mourning more than anything else, as Theseus realized how long he had been living with this hole inside him. 
“To be honest I….” He faltered, suddenly feeling scared of what he was about to admit. “What are you so afraid of?” he scolded himself. He’d never been one to back down from a challenge. Theseus had always thought himself capable of handling whatever life threw at him. Why was confronting himself so hard?
You reached over and placed your hand on his reassuringly. “Theseus, whatever it is ...you can tell me,” you said, giving him a small smile. “I won’t ever judge you for what you feel, okay?”
Theseus nodded, letting out a deep breath, steeling himself for what was coming. “The truth….. the truth is that I haven’t felt safe since the war. I can’t relax, not really. I just have this awful gnawing feeling inside me all the time that something terrible is going to happen at any second. I feel tense and on edge all the time. I can’t stop thinking about all the bad things that could happen. Especially when I’m around lots of people. That makes it worse. No matter where I go or what I do, it’s always in the back of my mind. People think I’m a strong, down-to-earth kind of guy and all that, but I’m really just scared. It’s hard for me to laugh and enjoy myself because I can’t stop thinking about all the bad things that could happen. I can’t breathe and I can’t stop stressing out. I feel like I can’t let my guard down for one second because that’s when it could happen.” 
It felt surprisingly good to finally say these things out loud. It was as if acknowledging them and coming to terms with them somehow made them smaller, less intimidating. Once he started, he couldn’t stop talking. It was as if a dam had broken inside him and everything just came flooding out. 
“At night, that’s when it really gets to me. The nightmares. They’re usually about the war. Sometimes they’re about the people I love getting hurt. Other times it’s me being chased by something. But it’s always the same feeling of absolute terror and dread. I didn’t want you - or anyone for that matter - to know because I didn’t want you to be worried about me. There’s so many things to worry about already, that I figured it would be easier if I kept it to myself. I’m always the one that everyone looks to for answers when they’re afraid. What would they think if they knew that I was just as afraid? If they knew I wasn’t actually the brave ‘War Hero’ who can save them from anything?”
“Thes,” you said, putting an arm around him, “you’ve been through so much. You’ve been so strong this whole time. You care so much about others and that’s one of the many reasons that I love you. You’re always think of others before you think of yourself and I admire that.” 
You ran your hands through his hair as you talked, trying to help him relax. “Thes, I think it might help to consider that no matter how much you try, you can’t control everything. It’s not fair for you or anyone else to place that much pressure on your shoulders. Even if you are Head Auror, you can’t hold yourself responsible for every bad thing that happens. You hold too high a standard for yourself and it’s really starting to take a toll on you.” 
His eyes were looking downward so you placed a hand under his chin and raised it gently so his eyes could meet yours. 
“Theseus, you - are - enough. You really are. You are enough to yourself and more than that - you’re enough to me. You’ve pushed yourself enough. You don’t have to keep worrying about everything and everyone all the time. You do your job perfectly already. I trust you and you should trust yourself more often.”
Theseus gave a small smile and laughed softly. “It never fails to amaze me how you always know what to say. I don’t know what I’d do without you and that clear head of yours.” He pulled you towards him and the two of you fell back on the bed. You snuggled up against his chest and he wrapped his arms around, breathing in each other’s warmth. You both just lay there in the darkness, feeling the peace and contentment that came from being in one another’s presence, as though there was no one else in the world but you two. You both knew that the fight was far from over, that there was still a long road of recovery ahead. But you’d taken the first step together, and for now, that was enough.
You turned to look up at him. “Thes?” you whispered.
“Yes love?”
“Stay home today?”
Even though it was dark, you could make out the amused smile on his face. 
“Anything for you, my love,” he whispered back, giving you a soft kiss on the forehead.
And with that, you nestled yourself back into his arms, letting his warmth and steady breathing slowly lull you back to sleep.

Young(Ish) Albus Dumbledore x reader
(Y/N): Your Name
Warnings: None
A/N: Your the Scamander's little sister
Dippet: Was the Headmaster before Dumbledore
Headmaster Dippet greeted you immediately when you walked into the large oak doors of the magical school Hogwarts. 
“Ah, Ms. Scamander so wonderful to see you again.” Dippet greeted you.
You nodded towards him; smiling. He started leading you towards Hogwarts Great Hall where all the students and staff were seated eating dinner. Your oldest brother Theseus was working for the Ministry of magic and your other older brother Newton was busy with all of his Fantastic Beast. So right as you graduated Hogwarts, you had many job options you could have picked. But what did you choose? Being a teacher.
You sent an owl to your old Headmaster telling him you were interested with a job and with your luck their was an opening for Care of Magical Creature positions. Well, here you are now walking into the Great Hall ready to start your new life. 
You followed Dippet to the staff table where all the professor sat. Some nodded to you, or smiled; recognizing you from your school days. Dippit sat down on the Headmaster chair their was vacant seat next to him. You went to go sit down next to him. 
Finally Dippet did his speech introducing you to all the students as their new teacher. you looked around the staff table, there was someone missing. Albus Dumbledore. You’re old Defense Against the Dark Arts, professor. He always interested you. When your brother Newt got suspended from Hogwarts, Dumbledore defended your brother in front of the Minister and the magical court. While you were in Hogwarts you two had a close relationship with him. You two would have tea together after class, you two would even go on walks together. You liked to say you were his favorite student, but now you weren’t student. You were an adult now. A proud 21 year old, an independent one no doubt;you were a Scamander for Merlin's sake.
In all the 7 years of Hogwarts you and Albus grew close. you ended up getting a crush, no more like falling love. Due to the large age gap between you two, and scared of rejection you were to scared to tell him. When you left Hogwarts you and Albus shared letters for a while, every once and a while but not as much as you would like too.
While you were daydreaming about your old teacher, you jumped at the voice who boomed your name. 
“Really, never expected to see (Y/N) Scamander here, little sister to the war hero and to the beast freak who set all the creatures free in New York.” Your old charms professor (You were never fond of him) mentioned smugly to you. Before you could defend Newt a sudden voice interrupted you. 
“When you mentioned in your letter, I was gonna see you more often I was not thinking of this.” A familiar voice said from behind you. A large grin broke out on your face when you realize who the voice belonged too. Albus Dumbledore. You quickly looked behind you and rushed to hug Albus. He returned your embrace and chuckled as you hugged him tighter.
You wished that dinner would last forever. You and Albus talked most of it, both of you forgetting to eat, so engrossed with your conversation. You’re talking ended up carrying you to your new Hogwarts dorm you were staying at while teaching. Albus walked you to your room and talked and laughed to each other. When you reached your room you went to say goodnight to Albus. When he suddenly spoke up.
“Look (Y/N), I don’t mean to be to soon or up front. Your an adult now, and im hoping you will understand.  But I’ve always had this feeling when I’m around you and Hogsmeade is coming up, M..m..maybe you would to j..join me at H..h..hogs..s.” he tried to stutter out.
You grabbed his hand which made him look at you in the eyes. “I would love to go to Hogsmeade with you.” You finished smiling at him.
“Like a date?” He ask with a hopeful glee in his bright blue eyes.
‘yeah, like a date.” You agreed. 
A large smile broke out on Albus’s face.
A few months later, Christmas Eve. Scamander parent’s home (THIRD PERSON POV)
Your brother Theseus, his fiance Leta Lestrange, your brother Newt, your mother and father sat together at your parents dinner table. They were all waiting on you to come for christmas dinner, they were also waiting for you to introduce you boyfriend to the family.
“Theseus, Newt any idea where your sister is?” Your mother asked worried about you. 
“No idea, probably getting ready with her new boyfriend.” Theseus replied to your mother; smirking.
“Guys, I’m home!” Your voice ranged through the home  as you entered the kitchen. Your family greeted and hugged you. Finally your father asked you the burning question your family had. “Where is the new mystery man?”
A large grin spread across your face as a figure came behind and put there arms around your waist, and pulled you into their chest. You giggled at Albus actions/
“Guys, this is my boyfriend Albus.” You said suddenly.
The room went silent. Your parents shared at you in shock, Leta just started at you. Theseus started to choke on his drink.  “W..w..what!” He looked at you shocked. 
“Professor Dumbledore, is your boyfriend?”Theseus asked shocked.
Not sensing your brothers negative view you giggle and nuzzled yourself into Albus’s chest as he lovingly kissed your cheek. “Yes, Isn’t it great?” You said smiling.
They all still all stared at you two in shock. Finally Newt broke the tension.
“Well, this is awkward.”
Your grin turned into frown at your family attitudes. But Newt sensing how you were feeling spoked up.
“But I'm very happy for you, little sister.”He told you smiling.

Theseus Scamander X Male Reader X Brother! Thomas Shelby
-
|| Masterlist ||
-
Summary: Reader is secretly dating Theseus Scamander a man that neither of his families or brothers know about so what happens when Thomas finds out that is little brother is seeing a man that is a little older than him? Let alone a wizard that is hiding from society? How will the reader explain to his family that Theseus is a wizard and how will he explain to Theseus that his family is a poplular gang known in both London and Birmingham?
Warnings: language, slight angst, some fluff, Theseus being a good boyfriend, Thomas being protective, some crossover between the peaky blinders and the wizarding world, newt being a cinnamon roll!

“Were have you been?”
Y/n gasps in surpise as he turns around to see is older brother, Thomas, sitting at the table with a cigar between his lips. It was was midnight and the room was dark, only one candle was lit and somehow it wasn’t enough light to see the rest of the room. “What?” Y/n stutters out nervously, Latelty he’s been sneaking out to see his boyfriend, who by the way lived in London and it was rare for him to visit due to his work keeping him busy.
“Y/n, its late and dark and dangerous, so—“ Thomas stands up from his chair and puts out his cigar in the ashtray that was nest to the candle. “Where were you?” He asks again, his tone being serious this time as he eyes y/n.
Y/n was consider as the baby of the family even though he wasn’t the youngest one, he was actually a few years older than Finn and somehow they still treated him like a baby and his family and brothers were very protective of him. They saw y/n as the innocent type since he wasn’t the one to into his brothers business or to be around whores. No, he wasn’t any of that becuase he was a gentlemen and kind to others, he never smoked or drank neither did he fancy women, he wouldn’t bat an eye at any of them. Something his brother didn’t know about yet.
“I was with a friend, they were visiting town and we decided to catch up by going to the bar.” He mumbles out, trying to lie his way through this one but he already knows that his brother can see right through him. Feeling Thomas’ eyes on him causing him to frown a little. “Who was this friend?” He questions as y/n glares at his older brother. “Why should I tell you? So, that you can look him up and scare him off just like you did to the rest of my friends that you’ve met?” He shot back with crossed arms.
He couldn’t allow his brother to know about his secret. “He can be dangerous.”
Y/n scoffs at Thomas and opens his mouth to say something back to him but quickly stops himself. “Wait...did you say ‘he’?” He questions as he noticed thomas’ lips pull up into a small smirk, causing his own eyes to widen in realization. “You’re not a good liar, y/n.”
“Where you spying on me?!” He hisses out in silence, not wanting to wake up the rest of his family as he clenched his hands into fists. “Not spying, I just happened to see you with a man, you looked rather happy leaving his palce.” Said Thomas as he approaches y/n. “So, tell me who was this man?”
Y/n looks away, he’s kept this secret hidden for two years and he always thought that he was going to make it a little longer but turns out that his time is up. Thomas now knows the truth and before he knows it he’ll be scaring him off too and he’ll end up alone again just how his brothers wanted.
Looking away from his older brother he gives in.
“His name is Theseus and we’ve known each other for two years and he was visiting today. We haven’t seen each other is days and he took the day off from work to come and see me...he’s a really nice guy but knowing you and the others you wouldn’t approve.” He mumbles out, glancing up to see Thomas’ face. He was expecting to see a hint of disappointment or disgust now that his secret was out but he wasn’t able to read his brother. He didn’t know what he was thinking and it was slowly freaking him out.
“Last name.”
Y/n lets out a sigh through his nose, looking down as he quietly answers. “Scamander.”
With that his older brother steps away and walks past him, heading towards the door and without saying anything else he leaves the flat. Hearing the door shut behind him causes him to break down. Knowing that this was officially the end of his relationship.
The next morning he was sitting at the dinning table, eating his aunt Polly’s breakfast as he silently stares out the window. His brother hasn’t returned yet and he was expecting him to come back with a smile on his face but instead he gets a grumpy set of brothers that walk through the door. Thomas slamming it closed as y/n looks over to see his brothers walk over to him, standing around the table as the towered over him. This causes y/n to shrink back in his seat as Polly stares at the others with a confused look.
“The man you were with last night, who was he?” Tommy asks as he stands over y/n with a harsh glare. “I—“
“Theseus Scamander, who is he?!” He shouts this time, causing y/n to flinch as he stares at his older brother and then over to the rest of them. He studies his brothers, taking them in one by one as he suddenly puts the puzzle pieces together, causing him to grin widely. “You didn’t find anything did you?” He challenges his brothers, knowing that it wasn’t making them any happier.
Y/n can only giggle at the realization, not only could his brothers not find out about Theseus but also becuase they don’t know that his boyfriend isnt really from around here.
“Y/n this is serious!” Her hears thomas say but continued laughing.
“What’s going on here?” Said Polly as she steps up to glare at the boys who only gave her a simple glance. Thomas was the first to start explaining their small situation. “Little y/n, here has been seeing someone—“
“A women?”
“No, a man.” Said Thomas. “A man that we can’t figure out, we’ve tried looking into his files but nothing came up and I even sent out my men to search for someone that went by the name Theseus Scamander and we came back with nothing.” He hisses out as Polly takes in the information and frowns. “Thomas this is your brother, you should know that he too can be a good liar.”
This causes y/n to cough. “Actually Polly, I didn’t lie. I told Thomas who he was and his real name, what’s funny is that he can’t seem to find him anywhere.” He slowly stands up from his seat and collects his plates. “And you’ll never find out who he is.” He says the last part darkly as he puts his dirty dishes away and heads up the stairs towards his room, ignoring his brothers calls as he slams his door shut behind him.
He leans back against the door and lets out a deep sigh before pushing himself off, heading towards the window he slides it open and sticks his house out. “Lucy.” He whispers out as he looks around the roof top and grumbles. “Lucy!” He calls out again and gets a hoot in response, causing him to look up to see the white owl standing at the edge of the roof top. Y/n chuckles and extends his arm out, causing the owl to fly down and land softly on his arm as y/n moves back inside the room. “I have a letter for you to send to Theseus.” He sets the owl at his desk and pulls out an envelope.
Good thing he was able to write this letter last night, explaining everything about his family and brothers. Theseus knew that he was a muggle and promised to keep his secret about him being a wizard, he told him a bit about his family but he feels like he hasn’t exactly told him everything so, last night he took his time to write down a huge explanation about his family and he hopes that he doesn’t loose Theseus over this but yet again his family is a gang and they are known for their name.
“Here,” he hands the sealed up letter to Lucy who chirps in return to takes the letter. He helps carry her back outside as he sighs, “be safe.” He adds before watching Lucy fly off into the air. He leans against his window seal as he watches Lucy grow smaller each time to got farther away. “Now, we wait.” He tells himself as he closes the window and curtains. Instead of going back downstairs to face his family he decides to stay locked indoors, not really in the mood to see anyone right now. So, instead he lies in bed and waits for Theseus to respond back.
“Thee, you got another letter.”
Theseus looks up to see his little brother standing by the doorway of his office, holding a letter in hand as he approaches slowly. “Who’s it from?” He asks as Newt sets it down on his desk where Theseus picks it up and checks to see who it is from, Turing it around he sees the name written in nice hand writing and in cursive.
Y/n Shelby
“Its from y/n.” Said thesues with a small smile on his face.
“Must be important, y/n doesn’t usually write.” Newt said, causing worry to hit Theseus. His brother was right, y/n rarely wrote and seeing a letter come in today after seeing each other just yesterday could mean anything.
He gives newt a glance and opens up the envelope, pulling out the letter as he unfolds it and leans back in his seat, reading it silently as newt sits by the fire, drinking some tea with Pickett standing on the table, trying to steal some biscuits from his plate but of course Newt wasn’t allow that.
Theseus on the other hand was reading his lovers letter;
Dear, Thesues
You’re probably asking yourself as too why I am writing since I rarely send you anything, only during urgent times like that last time when our anniversary hit and I sent you a last minute gift by owl. I was actually a little worried, how can such a small creature carry something so big without dropping it? But, of course you always tell me that it involves magic so I let it be and just continued on with sending you stuff, but made sure that they were small items. But anyways, your probably wondering what this letter is for, well you see...I’ve told you about my brothers and how overprotective they can be and last night while you were visiting my older Thomas saw us leaving the hotel last night and he wasn’t too happy about it.
I’m not saying that he doesn’t accepts us—to be honest I don’t even know if he approves or not but he spent all night looking through government files about your family and turns out that he didn’t find anything due to you living someplace else with your own magically government and I was actually happy that he didn’t find more about you but I can’t help but be worried for us.
Theseus, you’ve told me about your family and your world and I feel like I should tell you who my family really is and you see, my family are the Shelbys, we are known as London’s most dangerous people and my family deals with alcohol and horse racing. I’m not really involved with it since I wish to have a normal life but knowing my brothers they won’t allow me to be happy, too afraid that something bad will happen to me. If you’ll like you can try to look my family up and I promise you that you won’ t find anything good about them and I understand if you want to stop seeing each other, I don’t want to expose your world to mine and ill allow you erase my memories so that you can feel safer.
I didn’t want to keep any secrets anymore but now I’m afraid of losing you, but I understand that your wizarding community comes first. Their safety comes first and I dont want to be the one to expose your world. So please, think about what your going to say so that I can be prepared for what’s to come.
Love, Y/n Shelby
Theseus sets the letter down, leaning back in his chair as he takes in the information that y/n had given him. “Thee?” He looks over to see his brother standing next to him with a small smile. “I know its none of my business but, I think you should write back to him...he’s a good man and a good friend.” He said softly as Theseus looks away. He and y/n have been together for two years and they always told each other everything so he knew why y/n would fear his family, afraid of them finding out about him being a wizard, being a powerful human being that can do anything.
Knowing more about y/n’s family did upset him but he loved him with all his heart, for the first time in his life he was actually happy. He’s always wanted to come back home with y/n waiting for him so that the two could kiss and share the same bed. He knows that the ministry can be busy but he always makes time for his loved ones. So, no matter how bad y/n’s family is he isn’t going to let this destroy his happiness.
“You’re right, newt.”
“I am?” He says a little baffled as Theseus chuckles at his brother.
He sits up and grabs some parchment and a quill. “For once you are newt,” he leans forward to starts writing his response.
“Is he nice?”
“Yes.”
“...how old is he?”
Y/n rolls his eyes in annoyance as he sets the paper down. “Aunt Polly I’ve told you before, I’m not saying anything else that’ll only upset you more.” He states out. Its been two weeks since he’s sent Theseus that letter and so far he thinks that their relationship has ended, jus the Thomas wanted all along. “Besides, Thomas scared him off so their is nothing to know about him.” He pushes himself off the couch and makes his way towards his aunts kitchen. He’s been staying with her for the last couple of days, not wanting to face his brothers until he apologizes for what he did but he doubts that his brother would apologize.
“I just want to know who this man was that you were seeing for the last two years.” Said Polly as she sits on the dinning table, giving him a small grin as she says. “I want to know the man that made my nephew happy.” Y/n silently makes himself a cup of tea, avoiding his aunts stare as he bites his lip. “He was a perfect man and a kind lover.”
“Oh.”
He blushes. “He’s also a hard worker, its only him and his brother Newt; his father died in the war and his mother died from an illness leaving the two on their own...he’s the oldest so he watches over his little brother—kind of like thomas.” He shrugs a bit as he sets some water to heat up. “He’s different, he’s not like the other men that I’ve met before; he doesn’t think with his cock.” This causes his aunt to laugh out, bringing a small smile. “Theseus was just—perfect.” His smile soon disappears into a sad one. “And now its all gone, thanks to Thomas.” He turns back to the boiling water, removing it from the stove and pouring some into his teacup.
His aunt watches him as she leans back in her chair. “thomas can be a little overprotective.”
“A little?”
“Alright, a lot! But, y/n you are the baby in the family.”
“Funny how I am the baby when I am ten years older than Finn.” He responds back with a frown on his face.
“What I’m trying to say is; you’re different from everyone else. You don’t go around causing trouble and you wish to be normal, darling you don’t even drink nor smoke I’d say, your barely a Shelby at all.” She explains as he sits across from her. “Thomas doesn’t want you going down the same path as him or the rest of your brothers, which is why he wants to protect you.” Y/n sighs at Polly, listening to her explanation as he stares down at the tea.
“Well you should all know that I’m not a baby anymore, I can take care of myself and I don’t need you all to be spying on me! What I am doing shouldn’t concern you if you know that I’m not like my brothers then maybe you should stop looking out for me...I mean, focus on what is happening with our deals and relationships with other gangs. For all we know, tommy could be getting shot at without us knowin and yet you all worry about me.” He huffs, taking a large drink of his tea. Burning his tongue a little as he cringes in pain.
Polly frowns. “We do this becuase we love you, y/n and we want you to be happy but also we want to make sure that you don’t get hurt while you are alone! Your brothers almost got killed by Solomons last night!” She blurts out as y/n looks away. “If you want me to be safe than let me go.” He says, causing his aunt to gap at him in shock. “Ada has tried to live normal and that didn’t work but I have a chance to be normal if you let me go.”
Polly sighs as she reaches over to takes one of his hands into hers, holding it tight as she slowly nods. “I think you should leave too...if that makes you happy than go.” She gives him a reassuring smile as y/n smiles back. “I��ll help you, we can get you a ticket to London and I’ll make sure to give you some money.”
“I won’t be needing money where I want to go.” He adds in as his aunt raises a brow, causing him chuckle. “Trust me, I know where I want to go.”
Before his aunt could say anything they are cut off by a small tapping on the window. This causes y/n to look over and see Lucy perched upon at the window with a letter in her beak.
“Lucy.” He breaths out, quickly he stumbles out of his chair and heads towards the window. Pushing the window open he allows Lucy in who flies in and finds a cozy spot next to the fire place.
“What the bloody hell is that thing doing here?” He hears Polly say but he ignores her and takes the letter from Lucy who only squeaks in return.
He stares at the envelope, seeing the Scamander heirloom on the front and seeing his name on the back.
Nervously he rips open the envelope and pulls out the letter. Too afraid to see what he says he looks over to his aunt, not knowing what to say.
“This lover of yours must be rich if he can have an owl sending you letters.”
He chuckles at his aunts statement before looking back down the folded up letter. Taking his time he unfolds the letter and reads the black ink writing.
I want to meet your family
Y/n’s eyes widen, “what is it?” Polly asks as he licks his lips. “He—he wants to meet you all.”
“Brave man.”
Y/n nods in return as he looks back at the letter and looks below to see extra writing.
I’ll be Visiting on Thursday, meet at the same spot as usual and don’t be late.
“Thursday, Thursday—“ y/n looks around frantically and picks up the newspaper that he was reading this morning.
Checking the date his eyes widen as it read; October 7th, 1927
He looks over at the calendar to see that the 7th was in fact a Thursday, which meant that Theseus will be arriving today.
Pacing around anxiously by the tunnels he starts to think about what was going to happen today. His aunt had called in everyone for a family meeting and explained to them that Theseus was going to visiting, wanting to meet his family.
Y/n was actually afraid about this, he didn’t know if this was actually a good idea at all and he knows it!
“Y/n.”
He froze in spot and looks up to see Theseus standing at the end of the tunnel.
“Theseus...” he breaths out as he slowly steps forward.
Theseus was making his way towards him as he frantically tried to explain. “I’m sorry thee, I didn’t expect my brother to find out and I know your upset because I lied to you and I just—“ he is cut off by Theseus cupping his face and pulling him into a deep kiss.
Y/n gasps as he stands still, not knowing what to do as Theseus pulls away softly and leans his forehead against his. “I’m not upset or angry I’m just—“ he sighs deeply. “I’m actually nervous.”
Y/n rasies his brows in surprise. “Really?”
“Yes, really.” He says back as the two chuckle at each other.
“All my life I’ve been looking for someone who’d love me for who I am, I don’t care if your a muggle and your family are all gangsters. All I want is to spend the rest of my life with you, I want to come home everyday to you and be able to sleep on the same bed.” He strokes y/n cheek with his thumb as he smirks. “So, once this is over we are leaving to London and I want to get married.”
Y/n eyes widen. “M—married? Theseus that isn’t allowed here.”
“No, it’s not. But where I’m from it’s legal, a muggle and a wizard can get married as long as your society doesn’t know then will be fine.” He explains, looking down at y/n to see him smiling with tears in his eyes. “Then let’s get married.” He whispers back, leaning up to give Theseus a kiss.
“This is him?” Arthur points at Theseus, scoffing as he looks at him up and down. “Scamander, funny name ain’t it?”
“Arthur.” Both y/n and Polly say at the same time which comes to shock the brothers.
Arthur can only grumble as he stares at the others with a disapproving look, Arthur was always disapproving of everything.
The rest of the brothers stayed silent, until Finn was the first to step up. He walks over to Theseus and extends his hand out to shake, “I’m Finn, the baby of the family but they don’t really treat me as one since y/n took that spotlight from me.” Y/n shakes his head and chuckles.
Theseus gives Finn a smile and shakes his hand. “Theseus, your brother doesn’t talk much about me for reasons but he does speak highly about you.”
“Really?” Finn grins at y/n who rolls his eyes. “Alright, we get if your the best brother.” He murmurs out as Finn giggles and lets go of Theseus hand.
John was up next, introducing himself as well as the two shake hands. “Names John, I used to share beds with y/n each time he had a nightmare but from the looks of it you seemed to have stolen my job.” He smirks at the two as y/n blushes deeply. “John!”
Theseus laughs. “To be honest we haven’t shared a bed together, I’ve been busy working in London that we only have enough time to have dinner together.” He explains, this shocks the brothers a little bit.
They know that y/n doesn’t ‘sleep’ around with anyone but they all expected him to be sleeping with Theseus by now since they’ve been together for two years, but once this information came out. Now they know that their brother must be really innocent!
Ada is the third one to greet Theseus, instead of shaking his hand she immediately hugs him, catching Theseus by surprise but of course he hugs back. Y/n grins and leans close, “He’s a hugger.”
“I can tell.” Ada laughs out as she pulls away and gives him a small pat on the shoulder. “I might say; you’ve got a handsome one, you said he has a brother right?” She teases out.
Theseus smiles. “Yes, Newt but unfortunately my brother is actually engaged.” Ada pouts, “Well it was worth a try, he must be a very handsome man as well, maybe a gentleman too.”
“Oh believe me, he’s something.” Both y/n and Theseus say.
They continued on with meeting everyone properly. Theseus seems to get along more with his aunt Polly and Ada, he tries to speaks to his brothers and of course arthur is still not amused but he too tries to get to know Theseus.
So far, everyone is happy to know who his mysterious man was. All but Thomas, he’s been sitting by the corner watching Theseus carefully.
Tommy was going to be the hardest to get aporoval from since he was seen as the higher upper. Whatever choice Tommy made was the choice that everyone had to either agree or disagree too.
“Tommy.”
Y/n calls out for his brother who’s gaze slowly turns to him. He was nervous and fidgety, “I know you hate the idea of me being with a man but, can you at least talk to him or get to know him?” He pleads out.
“It’s not the idea of you dating men, what bothers me is that your growing too fast.” This catches y/n off guard.
“Tommy I’m not a child anymore, I’m twenty eight and I know how to take care of myself. Theseus has done nothing to make me feel uncomfortable and he’s patient too.” He sits next to his brother, looking over to Theseus as he bites his lip nervously.
“Theseus proposed to me.”
Thomas’ eyes widen.
“I’ll be leaving tonight to live with him.”
“Y/n—“
“Before you say anything, hear me out!” Y/n turns to face his brother properly. “I know what you and the others think about me and I know that you want me to have a normal life and far away from all this and that is what I’m doing. I’m leaving to London Tommy, to a place where no one knows me—a place to restart, so I need you to let me go.” He explains to his brother. “I promise to visit whenever I can, Theseus isn’t someone who’ll keep me locked up. He knows his precious my family is to me and he won’t ever do something to keep me from seeing you all.”
Thomas Can tell that his brother was being serious about this, about leaving and starting a new life. He’s always watched over him, watching him grow throughout the years only to see him leave.
He looks over to Theseus who was speaking to their aunt and brothers, getting along just fine before turning back to y/n, giving him one of his rare smiles. “Go, go and get married and live a normal happy life.”
Y/n smiles widely and leans over to hug Thomas who also hugs back. “Thank you.” Said y/n as he pulls away from his older brother.
Thomas chuckles and stands up. “Right then, let go meet your fiancé and see if he fits too my satisfaction.” Y/n laughs, “I think you’ll like thee very much, he reminds me a bit of you.” He adds before watching his brother head over to Theseus. Giving him a proper greeting as y/n leans back against the wall with a smile on his face.
This was his family and home but it was time to move on and to restart once again.

Overnight Shift
— MISTAKES OF A WHISKEY DRINKER ; PART 3/3
Tumblr media
PAIRING: Theseus Scamander x reader
WORD COUNT: 850+
SUMMARY: Your patrol shift had come to an end when you decided to invite both of your colleagues, Prewett and Theseus for dinner at your place, having the two of them agree. Although the night may have ended with Prewett accusing an old lady for a criminal and glasses of whiskey, the tension in the air between the you and Theseus may have taken things for turn.
A/N: This is it. The finale. Hope you liked the outcome xo (I had 5 different versions of the finale, i finally decided to settle on this cause it’s cute.)
MASTERLIST ; MASTERPOST
“Prewett, I cannot believe you mistook an old innocent lady for Rosier!” you laughed, sipping the few remaining drops of whiskey in your glass cup.
Theseus let out a light chuckle. “That poor lady. She was going to have a heart attack.” His face was fully flushed by that moment, having a little too much alcohol in his system.
Prewett, however, was completely wasted although he had only drank three glasses of whiskey. The wizard was popularly known to have a low tolerance towards alcohol in general.
His booming laughter echoed through your tiny dining room in response.
You glanced wistfully at Theseus, undoubtedly having your own face as equally as red as his. You were thankful for the alcohol during that night. Theseus’ coat and vest were off, the sleeves of his pristine white shirt rolled up due to the heat, exposing his rather muscular forearms. His tie was pulled loose and his collar hung open.
In other words, your boss had looked extremely irresistible. It was almost bizarre to recall how much you hated that ridiculously charming face of his.
You were starting to doubt that late night you two shared at the office was the sole source of your infatuation towards Scamander. Perhaps you had already loved the man long before.
In that moment, you finally understood what men meant by the saying: ‘Women are complicated.’
You were beyond confused.
“I was merely doing my job.” Prewett suddenly responded, his hearty laugh died down. “I swear to Merlin, if that was in fact Rosier under the effects of the Polyjuice potion--” he paused, pointing to you and Theseus. “--You two would have to quit.”
You snorted in response as Theseus let out a hearty laugh.
All three of you then promptly broke into a fit of laughter that may have lasted for five minutes straight.
The three of you had called it a night, switching shifts with three other Aurors to keep watch. Seeing that Scamander and Prewett both looked extremely tired and were most probably very hungry, you decided to invite the two of them over for dinner to your tiny flat a few blocks away.
You weren’t exactly certain of the reason behind your sudden kindness, especially towards Theseus, but you vowed yourself to never be an ignorant and selfish bastard at least.
You were even surprised he had accepted your invitation.
Theseus, on the other hand, did not regret accepting your kind invitation as he was able to see you in a pink floral apron.
He thought you looked extremely adorable.
Thus, the trio decided that the night was still very much young and opening a new bottle of whiskey from France, gifted from last Christmas, did not seem like any sort of a problem.
You clearly did not expect Prewett to be completely drunk after only three glasses.
“Alright, alright.” you abruptly stood up, collecting your emptied glasses. “It’s likely time the two of you head home.”
With a groan, the two wizards stood as they said their goodbyes and had sincerely thanked you for dinner. Prewett was the first to leave due to his massive headache he surely needed to sleep it off before tomorrow morning.
Theseus, however, had stuck around for a while with a little small talk here and there.
“I should make a move--” A pause, with his coat and vest draped on his arm, his other shoved in his pocket. “--I’ll see you tomorrow, then.”
“Right, yes.” you blinked, snapping back to reality. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Theseus stood there for a moment or two, as if in deep thought. “I have never said this to you once but you are an extremely talented Auror. I have always thought so.”
You blinked, desperately trying not to overthink the situation.” That’s-that’s very kind of you.” your face softened as you examined his eyes. “You are an amazing Auror and boss as well.” you flashed him a slight smile that may or may have not made Theseus swoon a little.
It must have been precisely the alcohol that caused a rush of adrenaline to course through his veins as he made a bold step towards you. In a rushed manner, he gently pressed his lips against yours for a brief moment as your breath hitched and body went rigid.
Thesues pulled back, purely embarrassed by his previous actions. He desperately wanted to apparate back to flat, yet he couldn't bring himself to as he squirmed under your expressionless unwavering gaze.
“Merlin, I’m so sorry. I have no idea what I was thinking.”As soon as the last syllable escaped his lips, he found himself interlocked in your kiss once again, your hands on either side of his cheeks. Theseus had instantly melted into the kiss; you warm eager lips tasted like whiskey and so did his.
With much hesitation, you pulled away; The two of you instantly realized what had just taken placed.
“I hope nothing changes at the office.” you finally said softly, earning a slight chuckle from Theseus. “Oh, it certainly would not.” he winked slyly at you before gently pulling you in once more and passionately kissed you soundly.

Learning to love
 Learning to love pt. 5
Part one, part two, part three, part four, part six, part seven, part eight, The Epilogue
AN: A love story, interrupted.
Characters: Theseus Scamander, Albus Dumbledore, Newt Scamander, Leta Lestrange Pairings: Theseus Scamander x reader, Leta Lestrange x Newt Scamander Prompt: “Can yu pls do a Thesus imagine where him and the reader were friends and dating but then they break up but they get back together?”
Warnings: Mention of Death
Spoilers: Spoilers for Crimes of Grindelwald
Ps. This diverges from canon
————————————
“You can’t keep your eyes off her, can you?” Leta teased as Theseus watched you glide into the entry hall.
Theseus shook his head, “You know I can’t.”
“Scamander,” Travers called, snapping him back to reality, “I want you to keep an eye on Y/L/N for me. I’m not entirely convinced that we can trust her.”
Theseus felt a burst of protective anger and had to force himself to remain calm and neutral. Torquil Travers was obsessed with the apprehension of Grindelwald. He was a man with very little capacity for empathy and a profound disdain for any person, auror or no, who ever displayed any kind of mercy. It was under his orders that Theseus had brought you to the ministry for interrogation all those years ago and, from the stories he’d heard, it seemed as though Travers had given Grimmson free reign. You’d come out of the interrogation seven hours later, white and shaking and you’d refused to tell him what had happened. Now, years later, Theseus could imagine it quite well. He’d worked with Grimmson before and he knew that his methods were bordering on torture. Again, he felt the flames of shame wash over him, but he choked them back.
“It’s all in the blood,” Travers continued, “bad blood will out.”
“She’s been cleared of suspicion multiple times,” Theseus countered, earning himself a sharp look. He met his boss’ gaze for a moment, but then looked to you again, “yes, sir.”
Being in the castle again brought back memories that Theseus had been doing his very best to suppress. At every turn he saw you: smiling, laughing, running from him as he chased after you with snowballs in each hand. Every room brought back memories of stolen kisses, every corner of the grounds, hours that you spent together in the sun. As the party of aurors made their way to the defense against the dark arts classroom, Theseus realized that you had vanished, chasing memories of your own down deserted corridors and he felt his heart pinch with concern. He barely heard the conversation with Dumbledore. He was too busy following the ghost of you down the stone passages in his mind, hanging on to every smile and wishing, more acutely than ever, that he’d appreciated them more when he’d had the chance. Before long, he heard Travers beckoning him out and he turned to leave.
“Theseus,“ Dumbledore called, stopping him dead.
He didn’t wan to turn. He knew what his old teacher was thinking. He could picture the infuriatingly knowing look, the disappointment.
“If Grindelwald calls a rally,” he continued, “don’t try and break it up. Don’t let Travers send you in there.”
Theseus bit down on his jaw. Did Dumbledore really think it was that easy? That he could openly defy his superior officer without consequence? No, a voice in his head whispered, he knows that there will be consequences, he just expects you to do what’s right, despite them. It was what you would do, and Theseus knew it.
“If you ever trusted me-“ Dumbledore started, before Travers cut him off. Theseus turned to leave but Dumbledore stopped him again. “Theseus, you made me a promise once, do you remember?” Theseus stopped, his heart sinking. Of course he remembered, how could he possibly forget? He didn’t answer, but that didn’t seem to deter Dumbledore, “You promised that you wouldn’t let your friendship with Y/N fall apart.”
“I remember,” Theseus said, his voice oddly hoarse.
Dumbledore nodded, “Good. I wish you and Leta every happiness Theseus, I really do, but only if you really love one another. Marriage should be something special and profound, not a way to punish yourselves and one another for your mistakes.”
Theseus was stunned. It felt as though Dumbledore had sucker-punched him in the solar plexus and before he could say anything else, Theseus left. His eyes were stinging and his chest felt painfully tight. He fled down corridors without even thinking, just trying to put distance between himself and Dumbledore. He saw too much, understood too well. Theseus felt as though Dumbledore could see directly into his soul, could see all his flaws and fears, and was disappointed in him for not fighting them harder, for giving in. Because he had, he knew that now. He’d given in to fear and pressure and he’d thrown the best thing that had ever happened to him away without so much as a second thought. For a long time he’d tried to convince himself that he’d made the same decision that anyone would have in his situation, that everyone would have ended their relationship for the sake of their career but, deep down, he knew that wasn’t true. He knew that, had the situation been reversed, you would never have abandoned him. You would have told your family that you loved him and then you would have simply continued to do your job to the best of your ability but then, you’d always been braver than he was.
Theseus ducked into a classroom and stopped. You were sitting at a desk in the front, your desk. How many times had he stood in this doorway and waited for you to finish up class? How many times had he dropped you off with a goodbye kiss on the way to his own lessons? He was sure that the number was too high for him to count. For a moment he couldn’t decide what to do but then you turned and, to his surprise, instead of reacting with shock and anger, you just gave him a sad smile and turned back to the front. Taking that as an invitation, Theseus crept forward and collapsed into the desk next to you, pretending not to notice as you wiped a few stray tears from your cheeks. Being near you, even with this much space between your bodies was still intoxicating. It had been so long that he’d almost forgotten how it felt, how calm and light you made him feel.
“It’s odd isn’t it?” You finally said, “Being back.”
Theseus nodded, “It is.”
“I used to love this old castle,” you continued, “it was the first place that ever really felt like home to me. It was the first place I ever had any friends, it was the first place that made me feel….like me.”
“I know,” Theseus replied gently. You’d told him how much Hogwarts had meant to you many times. He used to love the way your face lit up when you talked about it. The memory made something deep inside of him ache, “you told me.”
You smiled, but it didn’t quite meet your eyes, “Of course. I used to tell you everything.”
And then I threw it away, he thought to himself, I threw it away because I was scared of the way other people would see me. He didn’t deserve you. He didn’t deserve your forgiveness. He’d been awful and, now he had to live with the agony of wondering what could have been if only he’d been a little braver. If Theseus Scamander were a better man, he would get up and walk out. If he were a better man, he’d find Travers and demand that he send you home and bring someone else along. If he were a better man, he would get down on his knees and apologize, or promise to never force his company on you again. If he were a better man he would tell you that it was him who’d insisted on you coming with them to Paris but, instead, he just sat with you in that empty classroom, basking in the fragile peace and praying that you could both stay there for just a little longer. He wasn’t a better man. He was a man who had spent two years sleepwalking and had finally woken up.
---------------------------
By the time you arrived in Paris, you had no idea what to think. One moment you were on the verge of tears and couldn’t even bear to look at Theseus Scamander, the next it felt like nothing had changed and the breakup had never happened. It was…confusing.
“Hello,” Leta Lestrange greeted, taking a seat beside you on the chaise lounge.
Travers had given you the rest of the evening off once you’d arrived in France, in order to give him and Theseus time to create a game plan for the attack on Grindelwald. It was a cold and rainy night and, honestly you were grateful for the reprieve. The visit to Hogwarts had left you drained and tender and all you wanted to do was curl up in a ball and rest.
“Hi,” you replied, with a gentle smile, “How are you doing?”
“I’m good,” Leta replied. For a moment there was a tense silence, eventually broken by Leta, “Y/N, I wanted to explain about me and Theseus. I don’t want you to think that either of us ever wanted to hurt you, we just-“
“Leta,” you quickly interrupted, feeling far too fragile for this conversation, “it’s fine. Your relationship has nothing to do with me, you don’t owe me an explanation.”
Leta sat up, a somewhat fevered look on her face, “But that’s the thing, it does have something to do with you. Theseus-“ she continued, “he cares, so much about you. All he talked about for days after we sent out our invitations was whether or not you’d come-“
“Stop,” you interrupted, raising your hand as if to ward Leta off. Her words had sparked something in you, anger that you hadn’t even known you still had, “I’ll come to your wedding, hell I’ll be a bridesmaid if you want but don’t try to convince me that Theseus Scamander cares about me, because he doesn’t.”
Leta’s face softened and her pity riled you up even more, “Y/N, that’s not true, Theseus loves-he loved you.”
You shook your head, “If he’d loved me he would never been able to leave me the way he did,” you explained, “Never.”
“Y/N,”
“You have no idea what you’re talking about,” you told Leta, getting the pain you’d been feeling off of your chest for the first time in years, “Theseus left me alone, weeping at the bottom of a staircase for the crime of being a Y/L/N, of having a criminal brother. He used me for years and then dropped me as soon as I stopped being the convenient choice.” You explained, “So please, don’t insult me. If Theseus ever cared about me, that care vanished long ago.”
------------------------
Theseus stood in the doorway and listened to you as you talked to Leta, feeling his heart shatter all over again. Your voice was as hard as steel, cold and clinical and it cut him deeper than anything else ever had because, well, it was you. Underneath it all he could hear the pain he’d caused, he could see how long it had taken for you to be strong enough to talk to him again and he understood, for the first time, how his behavior must have looked from your perspective.
“He wouldn’t even look at me,” you told Leta, your voice thick with emotion, “that’s how eager he was to get the whole thing over with.” No! Theseus’ heart screamed, no, that wasn’t it at all! You stood and brushed some non-existent crumbs from your skirt, “I’m sorry-I-I need some air.”
You turned and stopped in your tracks your eyes catching his. Theseus opened his mouth to say something, anything but you pressed your lips into a thin line and practically ran past him, disappearing out into the night.
“Go,” Leta commanded, “go, fix it.”
Theseus shot her a brief grateful look and chased you out into the cold, stopping just under the hotel’s awning.
“Y/N,” he called, “Y/N wait.”
“What?” You practically shouted, “What do you want?”
You looked furious, but also beautiful, with the rain pounding down on you under the moonlight. You could’ve cast a charm to keep you dry, he knew it, but you had always loved the rain. You’d once told him that the rain made you feel clean and fresh, like a new start.
Faced with you in the rain, his heart pounding in his chest and his body filled with a powerful longing and sadness, Theseus Scamander floundered. He opened his mouth to talk but, again, no sound came out. You crossed your arms and gave him an impatient look but, when it became obvious that he had nothing to say, you turned and kept walking. The idea of you disappearing into the distance woke something up in him and Theseus, mercifully found something to say.
“Y/N wait, we need to talk,” he said, straining to be heard over the rain.
You stopped again and balled your hands into fists; turning to face Theseus for, what he could tell was, the last time. When you met his eye, Theseus felt a shiver run through him and he swallowed hard.
“About what?” You asked, “What do we need to talk about now?”
“I do care about you, I’ve always cared.” He replied honestly, “I really don’t know how you could ever doubt that, after everything we’ve been through together-“
You let out an incredulous bark of laughter. It was a harsh sound that made him flinch.
“You left me, Theseus,” you interrupted, “you stood there, bold as brass and told me that I was bad for your public image. Does that sound like something you do to someone you care about?” Your eyes bore into his heart like fiery coals and some; small part of him reveled in it, reveled in your passion and your intensity, reveled in you just looking him in the eye again.
“No,” he answered honestly, “no it doesn’t. Y/N I know I hurt you. I know I lost the right to ask anything of you, I know I did but please, please, just let me explain.”
Your bottom lip trembled but he watched you cross your arms over your chest and cling to your anger, shooting him a defiant look. For a moment Theseus was afraid that you were going to refuse but, after a long pause, you nodded sharply.
Theseus felt his body relax and he smiled gently, “I thought I was doing the right thing-“ he said. You opened your mouth to argue but he raised his hands quickly, cutting you off, “but I was wrong. I was being a coward and I’m so-I’m. So. Damn. Sorry.”
For a moment you just looked at him, letting Theseus’ confession hang in the air like thin clouds.
“Is that it?” you finally asked.
“What?”
“Is that it?” you repeated, “Two years and that’s all you can come up with? I already knew that. I knew you were being a coward the second you left. That doesn’t make it alright, that doesn’t excuse what you did.”
“But I-“
“But nothing!” you cried, “But nothing Theseus! You broke my heart and you couldn’t even be honest with me about why you were doing it-“
“Because it was killing me inside! I could barely look at you without feeling like my heart was about to implode in on itself. Every second was absolute torture. Y/N leaving you like that…” he shook his head, “it nearly killed me.”
“Yeah, well it nearly killed me too,” you replied, swallowing hard, “that still doesn’t make it right.”
Theseus looked at you pleadingly, stepping out into the rain. He thought you were going to pull away but you stayed, letting him take hold of your arms.
“I know,” he said quietly, “nothing can excuse what I did. All I can say is that breaking up with you was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I’m so, so sorry Y/N, I really am. I know I’ve lost the right to ask you for your forgiveness but I can’t go on not having you in my life, even if it means having you yell at me every day, I’ll take what I can get.”
Your bottom lip trembled again and your eyes welled up with tears but you held them back. Whatever anger there had been in your voice, Theseus felt it ebbing away, leaving only sadness in its wake.
“That’s not fair,” you whispered.
You sounded young and vulnerable, like the girl he’d met in that classroom in Hogwarts, the girl who’d taught him what love was without even meaning to.
He nodded, “I know, I’m sorry, you have every right to hate me.”
“I don’t hate you,” you replied, “I could never hate you.”
For the first time in years Theseus felt a flicker of hope in his chest and, instinctively, he pulled you into an embrace. Your body stiffened against his but, seconds later you relaxed and your shoulders started to shake with sobs. He just held you, in the rain, whispering comforting words into your hair until your body stopped shaking.
“I’m sorry Y/N,” he whispered, “I’m so, so sorry.”
You looked up at him, your eyes red and puffy from crying and your Y/H/C hair plastered to your head with water. You were so beautiful and it took every once of restraint Theseus had to not kiss you.
“I know,” you replied.
It wasn’t what he wanted. There were still so many things broken between you that he had no idea how to fix, but it was a start and, as he’d said, he’d take whatever he could get.

When were you planning to tell us?: Theseus Scamander x fem!reader
Tumblr media
Summary: During their wedding your recently married friends can't stop asking questions about your "mysterious" husband. Little they know he is the same man who has been flirting with you during all the ceremony
Warnings: Drinking a little, I guess? But nothing else except that Jacob and Queenie being unaware of the world around them; Leta and Theseus ot being able to hide their chuckles; and Dumbledore being a funny smartass. Takes place after Dumbledore's secrets and in Au where Leta doesn't die and she wasn't enganged with Thesesus
Requested: yes
Words: Around 1130
Author rambles: This is kind of inspired in a wedding I attended a couple of years ago and the situation fitted quite well with the request
Masterlist Characters I write for
Likes and reblogs are appreciated ღ
I do not authorize any of my works to be copied, translated or plagiarized ✗
Tumblr media
Bright smiles, sparky eyes and some tears of pure happiness, that was a quick and accurate way to describe most weddings. Jacob’s and Queenie’s was not an exception to this. A small and intimate ceremony on the bakery, only family and friends attending, perfect for the couple union. While the bride and the groom, now wife and husband, were looking at each other with love-dove eyes, you and the rest of the guests were enjoying the sight.
“She looks beautiful today, even more that normally” You whispered to Theseus who was by your side leaning in the desserts table.
“I still believe you were prettier in your wedding” He replied a small grin playing on his lips.
“You are a charmer with words, Theseus Scamander” Your hands slowly moved to take two glasses of champagne, handing one of them to your companion.
“Only because you deserve it, darling” He took a quick sip of the pinkish beverage, which had been Queenie’s idea.
You would have scolded him for his smarmy antics if it wasn’t for your nosy friends who had been half-listening to your talk. Yeah, a small bakery was definitely not the best place to hold a private conversation. It wasn’t long until Mr and Mrs Kowalski came to your way with a mixture of curiosity and surprise.
“y/n you never told us you had been married, honey” Queenie sweet voice echoed in your ears. The realization hit you, you had been caught.
“Actually, I still am” Thesus couldn’t help but chuckle at your words.
“And who is the lucky man?” Jacob managed to speak while taking a bite from the nuptial cake “Do we know him?”
Theseus cheeks were starting to tint in a similar tone to his hair. You wondered how an auror like him, who has supposed to be calm and stern in every situation, couldn’t stop that grin from spreading on his face right now. Luckily for the two of you, Leta Lestrange, your best friend since your Hogwarts years (your guardian angel as you should call her from now on), appeared on the scene.
“What is the fuss for?” she joined the group and thanks to her endearing smile and her ability to put the focus on herself in every situation, you could enjoy a few seconds to think what would you say next. You were so relived thanks to her entry that you didn’t even get annoyed when she playfully stole your glass of champagne.
“y/n has just told us that she is married” The bride explained enthusiastically.
“Ohh…” Great, the last thing you needed right now was another person who couldn’t keep a secret to save her life. Surprisingly, she decided to play along. After all a little fun never hurt anyone “Of course she is, I was the bridesmaid”
“Leta…” You tried to interrupt her in order to finally reveal the truth.
“Wonderful!” Queenie clapped “So you can tell us more about that mysterious husband of hers”
“Yeah y/n, you never told us anything about him” Theseus took a sip of his drink and still he couldn’t hide his smirk.
Oh, he made a big mistake… Never play games with a girl who can play them better, Scamander. You should remind him that later.
“Well, he is the perfect gentleman. Sweet, chivalrous, caring…” You dreamingly looked at the celling “But also a little bossy, stubborn, touchy too. And he always overworks himself with his job to the point its annoying” Your audience was expectant to hear more about it. Theseus tried his best not to look slightly offended while Leta patted his back.
“But you love him, don’t you?” The older Scamander brother asked, his eyes shinning hopefully. One of the many things that made you fall for him since the first day.
“With every piece of my heart” Your gaze was locked in his.
That intimate moment which had somehow grown in a room full of people faded a wide the instance the door’s bell rang, announcing Tina’s and Newt’s arrival in the bakery. God knew what they had been talking about while the rest of you were enjoying the desserts.
“Guys, you will never guess what happened” Jacob said as soon as they came to his sight.
“Y/n is married!” Queenie announced as the sweet gossiper she was.
The young magizoologist’s eyes travelled back and forwards from yours and his brother’s face, clearly confused. The elder Goldstein sister just looked unaware, waiting for an explanation.
“Of course, she is” Newt finally broke the silence “I was the best man”
“You too?” Jacob said surprised “Are we the last ones to discover this?”
“I didn’t know until today either, Mr Kowalski. Although I have been having my suspicions since you two were students. You have never been good at hiding your feelings, Miss l/n”
Dumbledore laughed from the other side of the room where he was leaning on the wall absent-mindedly eating his piece of cake. A privileged position which he took advantage of to listen to the whole discussion.
“Or should I say Mrs Scamander now? Congrats anyway, thanks to your marriage Professor McGonagall owes me ten galleons now” Gasps of shock echoed between the bakery’s walls.
Your husband made himself comfortable, his hands now proudly around your waist in a gentle grip.
“Thanks Professor” he replied.
“When did you make it official if I can ask?”
“Just after he returned from the war. We wanted to keep it simple, Newt and Leta were the only guests” You softly squeezed your husbands hand.
“And when were you planning to tell us?”
“Jacob, sweetie, focus on what is important” His wife corrected him “Why didn’t you tell us?”
You two shrugged the question off. Being honest, you had never truly hidden your union, not intentionally at least. Theseus did not wear his ring on his finger, but in a necklace around his neck. Too afraid that he would lose it in a mission due to his work as an auror; so you decided to do the same. He didn’t keep the gesture of love low-key either. Always calling you pet names or protectively staying by your side. But it was true he did the same for Leta and his brother, and that kisses were always reserved for closed doors for unknown reasons. With those reasons, it was understandable that your friends hadn’t realized sooner you were in fact married. They just took you for an old friend duo. How wrong they were, but as no correction had been said before by either of you they were still ignorant of the fact.
As they say: “Actions speak louder than words” and that was exactly what your husband did. Arms tangled around your hip and lips that were leaning for a kiss which ended up in a resounding applause. In the next years you would receive endless teasing for it, but enjoying the moment you couldn’t care any less about it.

Studying with Scamander part 5 Theseus X Reader
Overview: it Christmas at Hogwarts, and you and Thesues meet in your spot to exchange Presents.
A/N Merry christmas Guys!! I’ve had a really relaxing day of eating a lot of food and spending time with my family. I hope that all of you are having good holidays, whether you celebrate Christmas or not :) thank You again for all of the support on my work these past few weeks, I’m really looking forward to continuing to do this in 2019. I hope you enjoy this Christmas special x
like and Reblog!
Word count:1003
The Library was empty, slumbering in silence. You almost felt as if you were breaking in as you gingerly closed the door with a puff of dust. You deeply inhaled the smell of old books and the pine scent that clung to your clothes. You knew spending Christmas at Hogwarts would be magical, but you didn’t expect for your love of the place to grow even more. Outside the lake had frozen over, the shadows of fish and at one point what looked like a giant squid shimmered under the cluster of teachers and students ice skating. This has been more important. You’d woken up to the note propped up on your night stand, shimmering slightly with blue sparkles
“Meet me at our spot at midday-I can’t wait to see you.
Theseus X”
You’d spent the morning grinning from ear to ear, excitement squirming in your chest as you’d slipped down corridors. Tucked under your arm was your present for Theseus, wrapped in brown paper and tied with red ribbon. You couldn’t help but feel nervous, hoping that he’d love it, but you couldn’t help the fear taint your brain slightly as you walked over to the two desks tucked away. Theseus wasn’t there yet, the desk empty. You thought you were alone until a big pair of arms suddenly wrapped around your waist for behind. Screaming in delight, you felt your legs being lifted off the ground, Theseus chuckling by your ear. He started to spin, and the room blurred to a red and brown mush. You couldn’t help but roar with laughter, clutching onto his hands that were by your belly button. “Theseus, put me down!”
“Alright alright,” you were lowered down, and you whipped around to protest, but Theseus stopped you by pulling you into his chest and quickly pressed his lips against yours. “Merry Christmas.”
“Merry Christmas,” you whispered. Leaning forward you kissed him again, you enjoyed the way his breath caught in surprise. Hand in hand you walked over to the tables, You hopping to sit on top with your feet dangling whilst Theseus stood.
“Have you heard from your family?”
Theseus nodded “Theseus loves the gloves, already he’s used them to hatch the dragons egg he got for Christmas-Mum” he added when he saw your mouth drop open in surprise. So that’s where Newt gets it from. Theseus laughed, grinning like a little child “I have your present.”
“Me too,” you smiled, handing it to him whilst He handed you two small things wrapped up in blue wrapping paper. “You go first.”
“Okay,” Theseus said, ripping off the paper whilst you watched him, gnawing at your lip as he gently picked up the box that fell into his lap. When he opened it, he gasped. There, nestled on a cushion of purple velvet, was a silver ring. Although quite simple to the muggle eye, Theseus could see In tiny writing a series of numbers and letter that he didn’t recognise. When he slipped on his ring, it hummed gently and resized to fit just right.
“It’s a memory ring,” you smiled “the coordinates are to this spot right here, hence why its humming.” You blushed under Theseus’s gazed “I wanted you to always be able to come back here, where you feel safe.”
Theseus was lost for words. He kept staring at his hand, then back at you, then back again. He felt a lump forming in his throat, but blinked rapidly to not cry. Instead leant over and hugged you, kissing your forehead and temple with all the tenderness he couldn’t show in words. It was the best Christmas gift he’d ever received.
“Thank you so much Y/N.” You smiled I to his chest, squeezing his torso in affection.
You broke apart so you could open your presents. One was big and squishy, the other long and thin. You opened the squishy one first, to find one of his jumpers, the soft red one that you’d begged to “borrow” from for weeks. You smiled “you’re giving me your jumper?”
He shrugged “you were going to steal it at some point, at least this way you can think about this when you wear it.”
“I love it,” you kissed him “thank you.”
The next present surprised you; it was a wand. You frowned. “Uh, You do know I have a wand right?”
“This ones different. You’re not the only one who has a sentimental side of them,” Theseus teased “this is made from the desk you’re sat on.”
“Are you serious?”
He nodded “that’s not even the best part. Give it a flick.”
Cautiously, You flicked it. There was a small pop, and above them a bubble shot up from the wand and then exploded, showing them with soft flakes of snow. When they touched your face, they weren’t cold, but smelt of a crisp morning, making you feel like you were outside with everyone else.
“Theseus...”
“I wanted to make my last present one I’ll remember.”
“But I don’t have a last present for you.”
Theseus smiled nervously “It’ll be the best present yet if you say yes.”
Your heart stopped. Your breath slowed. You didn’t break your gaze as you breathed”say yes to what?”
“Y/N, will you do me the honour of being my Girlfriend?”
There wasn’t a single second of doubt in your mind to what you wanted to say. Here was Theseus Scamander, with snow nestled in his curls and his heart out on the line, smiling at you like there was nothing else he wanted to look at for the rest of his life-you didn’t even hesitate. “Yes. Yes I will be your girlfriend.”
Heart full of Relief, Theseus couldn’t help but grab you by the waist again and lift you up, enjoying the way you instinctively wrapped them around his waist. You both just cling onto each other, laughing softly in each other’s ears as the flurries of snow fell all around you, bringing light into the library that wasn’t there before.

First love-Part 2
A/N: although I loved the movie we are just going to disregard fantastic beast 2 for this continuation XD there will be some scenes from it though. Also, I forgot Newt's assistants name and couldn't find it anywhere. Newt was harder to write for this time around so I apologize if he's a bit ooc. Also I sometimes switch from writing Y/N to writing you.
thank you to everyone who liked part 1 !
Pairing: Newt Scamander x plus size reader(though i don't really mention her weight/size)
× × × ×
Y/N looked down at the book before her, she was trying her hardest to concentrate on what was written but Newt was making that hard. She could feel his eyes on her, but every time she looked up he looked away.
Sighing softly she looked up at him "Newt" she called softly. He inclined his head slightly in her direction, but did not meet her gaze. Which was normal for people he felt unfamiliar with or not completely at ease with, but it was not normal with her.
Seeing that he wasn't going to directly answer, she decided to go ahead and ask "Was there anything you needed from me?"
A soft sigh escaped him and he peeked up at her again, not exactly meeting her gaze "I've been thinking..." He trailed off, unsure if he should continue. Y/N silently encouraged him to do so, clearing his throat he continued "I've been thinking, you staying here for so long must be a bother. If you'd like I have an extra room in my house you can stay in"
Seeing Y/N surprised expression he hurriedly added "Only if you want to and it won't be a bother"
Y/N smiled softly "I'd love to! I'll be able to help out with your creatures too"
Newt released a breath in relief and returned her smile, finally meeting her gaze. "Great, why don't we pack up here and make our way over then? So you can get settled"
Nodding in agreement Y/N closed the book and put it into a pile with Newt's. They then worked toward packing up her personal belongings as well as their research.
They had made quick work and were soon standing in front of Newt's home. Y/N looked at it curiously, she hadn't been here before but he had told her that he kept most of his creatures at his home. She was curious as to where he kept all of them.
Newt motioned for her to follow and she did so. Curiously looking at everything as he lead her through the hallways and to the room she would be staying at.
She thanked him as she stepped inside and placed her luggage on the bed. Mimic, as they had taken to calling him, unwound himself from her wrist and looked around the room in curiosity.
Y/N glanced back at Newt who stood awkwardly in the doorway, seeing her gaze on him he shifted slightly "Would you like to unpack or did you want to go see the creatures first?"
She rolled her eyes in response "Newton, I think we both know the answer to that"
He chuckled and nodded his head "Creatures it is. Follow me then"
Turning toward Mimic Y/N gestured for him to join her, he did so without hesitation. With him securely on her shoulder she followed Newt as he lead her down the stairs.
Y/N's eyes widened in surprise the further they got and as she started to see the creatures "Wow Newt this is just...amazing"
Newt responded with a shy thank you, before coming to the main floor of the room. Y/N smiled softly as she looked at and approached all of the creatures. Petting the ones that would let her.
Her attention was pulled away from the creature she was currently petting when a woman entered the room. She looked at her briefly before she hurried over to Newt and started talking him, telling him about what she had done so far and what still needed to be done.
He nodded and then looked at her bandaged hand "Miss boots did you try and care for the kelpie yourself?" He questioned.
She shied away and tried to hand the bandaged hand in question. Newt seemed displeased at the action "You know he needs at least two people to give him the medicine" with that said he started walking to another area of the basement.
Seeing his assistant had hurried to find him and hearing about the Kelpie Y/N decided to follow. Soon she found herself watching as Newt approached a large body of water and declined his assistants help. He removed his jacket and started toward the edge of the water.
Y/N snickered when she heard his assistant suggest that he might want to remove his shirt as well. "Maybe your pants too?" Y/N spoke with a teasing tone "Wouldn't want you getting sick Newt"
She chuckled as Newt rolled his eyes in response but a blush took over both his and his assistants features. With a quick "I'm sure I'll dry off quickly" Newt fell backwards into the large body of water.
Y/N rushed to the side, curiously watching as Newt swam around the water and was soon joined by a large green creature.
She had yet to see a kelpie up close and couldn't help but be in awe at it. "Beautiful isn't it?"
Looking down at Newt's assistant she nodded. Though she wasn't sure if the woman was talking about Newt or the Kelpie she'd agree with both.
The woman gestured for her to follow as the water began to rise and they went to a higher level where there was a platform. Although the water rised, Y/N noted that it seemed to be enchanted to stay inside. It was all very fascinating.
Soon Newt directed the Kelpie to the platform where Y/N watched with interest as they both gave it the medicine it needed.
After that was done and Newt gave the creature permission to go back into the water he stepped further on the platform. Casting a charm on himself that dried him off.
He turned toward his assistant who was trying to over to stay and help longer, Newt smiled gently "No need, you can go home now" she looked as though she wanted to argue but eventually decided against it and excused herself.
Y/N watched as she disappeared from view and came to stand beside Newt "Well" she started "she seems nice"
Newt nodded and motioned for her to follow him. As they made their way back to the base floor of the basement he replied "Yes, she does a good job with the creatures. Would you like to help me with the rest of the tasks for the night? Then we can get some dinner"
You nodded. "Of course"
* * *
Y/N had fallen into the routine of helping Newt care for his creatures quickly. Living together with Newt had been an ease to adjust to. Although she had only been staying with him for months, it had felt like they had been together for years.
Their relationship had quickly fallen back to what it had been when they had been students at Hogwarts. Well, mostly. They had not crossed the line from friendship.
But Y/N felt comfortable with Newt. They could work together in silence for hours and it wouldn't have bothered either of them. She was starting to pick up on his silent ques as well. Like when he was troubled.
Which is how he was now as he sat at the kitchen table, a frown on his lips as he read over the letter in his hands.
He had been so focused on it and he had yet to acknowledge Y/N when she made her way into the room. She sat down beside him quietly and cleared her throat to get his attention.
He startled and looked up at her. She rose a brow in question "What's got you so troubled?" She asked?
He folded up the later quickly and tucked it into his pocket. "N-nothing, it's nothing."
Rolling her eyes in response but deciding not to pursue she changed the subject "Okay, well the creatures have all received their nightly feed and medication. What are you fixing us for dinner?"
A few weeks after she had moved in they had decided that they'd switch chores every night. Where one person would feed the creatures and the other would fix dinner for themselves. Tonight was Newt's night. Seeing his eyes go wide Y/N groaned. "I guess we can fix dinner together"
Newt cleared his throat "Actually, we have been invited to my brothers house. To have dinner with him and his fiance. If you'd like we could go to that?"
Y/N brows rose in surprise, she hadn't seen his brother in forever and had no clue he was engaged. She shrugged, it would be nice to see him again "I Wouldn't say no to free food"
Newt shook his head in amusement. "Okay, I'll apparate us over there. Just please Y/N be nice"
Before she could ask why she needed to be nice Newt came to her side and wrapped his arm around her waist and then apparated them from his home.
Y/N got her answer as soon as they appeared in Thesus' home. Leta lestrange stood before them, a smile on her lips. "Y/N, Newt I'm glad you both can finally join us for dinner!"
Y/N looked toward Newt who fidgeted at her side, his eyes downcast. "Finally?" The question was directed to Newt but Leta answered.
"Yes, Thesus and I have been trying to get Newt to join us for dinner for awhile now but he never came. When we found out you two were together we had hoped that would make him come and have been offering every week since. We are glad you guys finally decided to come"
Your eyes widened in surprise. Well, this wasn't the leta you remembered. Processing her words you stuttered slightly "Ah we aren't together we are just living together and researching"
"Right" she responded with a slight wink and a soft chuckle.
Before you could say anything more on the matter Thesus made his way into the room.
"Y/N and Newt! Glad you're here" he hurried toward you both and engulfed Newt in a tight hug. You chuckled softly at Newt's awkward expression and then found yourself being hugged by Thesus as well. He stood back, his eyes wandering over your figure "Y/N! I haven't seen you for ages. You've grown into quite the woman" he said with a small smile, he added something about his brother being a lucky man and you felt your face heat up.
Newt cleared his throat, moving closer to you he began to talk "Is dinner ready yet? Y/N is quite famished"
Thesus nodded "Of course, follow me"
With that Thesus and Leta lead you both toward the dinner table where you started to eat. Newt was oddly close to your side through the whole meal.
* * *
Something changed the night you two had dinner at his brothers house. You weren't sure what or why but you also weren't complaining.
When they had returned from dinner that night Newt had thought he had to reassure her that he had no feelings for Leta anymore, none besides friendship. And Y/N believed him.
It had been two weeks since dinner at Thesus and Y/N found herself and Newt being closer together during their tasks and when researching. Somehow they would always end up sitting close together, with either their thighs or arms touching.
That was how it had begun, then there started to be lingering touches. Newt would touch her arm to get her attention, or hold onto her hand and thread their fingers together.
It was little motions but it made Y/N heart feel like it was going to burst from her chest any moment. Beside the touches though, they had not changed their relationship.
Y/N was currently sitting in the living room, nestled onto the couch with mimic resting on the table in front of her. Her attention focused on the book in her hold, for once she was reading something other than creatures.
She looked up from her book as she heard Newt approach. Seeing where she was he came to beside her. Fidgeting slightly with his pant leg, he had become increasingly fidgety in the past few days.
Reaching her hand out, Y/N rested it on top of Newt's. Making him pause in his movements, when he looked up to meet her gaze she rose an eyebrow in question.
"Is there something bothering you Newt?"
He glanced down and shook his head "No nothing, I was just wondering if...if you'd like to be my date to my brothers wedding?"
Y/N's eyes widened in surprise "As a friend or?"
Newt hurried to answer her, stumbling over his own words and rambling on. His behavior was cute to Y/N. She chuckled softly and seeing as he wasn't going to stop she leaned over and kissed him softly. Effectively silencing his ramblings.
He responded quickly to her and after a few moments she pulled back and smiled softly. Her hand coming to rest on his cheek "I'd love to be your date" she murmured before rearranging herself so she was resting beside him, her hand in his and her head resting on his shoulder.
She looked up to see him looking down at her with a soft smile and gentle gaze.
Maybe a first love can also be a last love

I Lived
Summary: As Newt ages, he learns that fear is nothing but a barrier to happiness.
Word Count: 2,268
Pairing: Newt x Reader
Note: I wrote this for my secret santa @jclements919  via @fantasticsecretsanta I hope you enjoy this! It isn’t solely fixated on his creatures, but I did try to incorporate them, and it’s about the fluffiest thing I’ve written! If you squint + listen to it while reading, you can see the inspiration of I Lived by OneRepublic in it! You have an awesome taste in music, and I hope you’re doing amazing and having a lovely holiday season! Be sure to stay in touch :D​
Theseus notices before anyone else. “Newt? Are you all right?”
Newt startles, jumping the slightest. “What? Sorry. I’m fine, thank you.”
The family room couch groans as Theseus sets his book aside, leaning forward, that smile Newt knows all too well making an appearance. “You are not. There’s something wrong. It’s a girl, isn’t it?”
Newt’s cheeks flush a deep red and he runs a hand through his mop of red hair, stuttering and stammering an excuse to Theseus, an excuse his older brother refuses to believe.
“It is, isn’t it? Ha! I knew you’d find someone one day, little brother. So, who is she? Does she go to Hogwarts? Or did you meet her through your letter campaign? Hm? Did she care for creatures’ plight like you?”
Newt drops his face into his hands. “Merlin, Theseus, please don’t tell mum. She’ll never stop talking about it.”
“Come on, you have to tell me.”
“Swear you won’t tell her?”
Theseus rolls his eyes, impatient with his little brother’s somber nature. “Fine, yes, I swear I won’t tell anyone. So come on, who is she?”
“Well,” Newt glances at the hall, listening for the familiar sounds of clanking pots that tell him his mother is too busy with supper to worry about her boys. When he hears them, he relaxes, leaning back against the worn couch and adjusting his glasses. “She’s in my potions class this year.”
“And?” Theseus prompts, impatient for details. “What’s she look like?”
“She’s… cute,” Newt murmurs, hardly able to contain his smile.
“Oh come on, you think she’s the most beautiful girl, don’t you?” When Newt says nothing, Theseus scoffs. “Such a romantic, aren’t you? Lucky that. Girls love it.”
Newt shrugs, tugging the sleeve on his cardigan down. “I don’t know. I can’t… can’t really ask her out now, can I?”
“Why not?”
“Well she’s… amazing.” He swallows, feeling like a fool here in front of Theseus, but it doesn’t matter because the boy’s too excited about the gossip to rest now. “I’m less so.”
“So? She probably thinks you’re great too. Listen,” Theseus glances over his shoulder before leaning in and whispering, “you just gotta ask her out when no one that can tell mum is around. That way, you can avoid dragging her to a family supper until you’re sure she’s great.”
“I don’t know…”
Theseus shakes his head. “You can’t be scared of everything, Newt. How’re you going to live if you don’t do anything?”
“I do things!”
“Like what?”
“I started a club at school and head my own experiments.”
Theseus rolls his eyes. “Yeah, excuse me for not considering those. Seriously, Newt.”
“I am. You’re the one that doesn’t do anything.”
Theseus scowls. “What?”
“You just stand around. What do you think everyone would say if I told them what you named your hippogriff?”
“Don’t you dare.”
“I bet they would think it’s hilarious.”
“Newt—”
Whatever Theseus is about to say is cut off as Mrs. Scamander rounds the corner, dish towel on her shoulder, hair tugged back into a tight ponytail. “Boys, wash up. It’s supper time.”
Theseus glares at Newt one final time before whipping back around and darting to his feet. “Newt has a girlfriend, mum!”
“Thesues!” Newt bellows, leaping to his feet and chasing after his brother, ignoring his mother’s gleeful calls to invite her over.
Merlin’s beard, he’s dead.
Theseus stands at his brother’s right-hand side, grinning that grin that had drawn in every woman he’d ever met. He’s flawless in his black tux, hair slicked back, silver watch around his wrist glinting in the sunlight that pours through the stained-glass windows that hang above everyone. Newt himself is bathed in a golden light, courtesy of the crown shape within the window.
He sucks in a deep breath, hands trembling the slightest in his pockets. Others fill the area, their murmurs reverberating, filling the small room with an energy that only nibbles at Newt’s, feeding his terror, worsening his anxiety. Merlin’s beard, what’s he doing here?
Theseus reaches out to clap Newt on the back. “Wait til you see her. You’re gonna die.”
Newt half-laughs, withdrawing his hands to clasp his wrist and search for a pulse. “I think I may before she even comes out.”
Pickett pokes his head out of Newt’s pocket, jabbering about how hot it is in there and how noisy everyone’s being.
“Yes, Pickett, I know. I’m excited too,” Newt mumbles, reaching up to fix his tie for the millionth time. Theseus just chuckles.
“Relax, Newt. She’s not going to change her mind now.”
Newt absentmindedly raises his hand to his lips, thumb nail landing between his teeth. “But what if she does? What if… what if she realizes she can do better? What if she wants someone more stable? What if I’m not good enough?”
Theseus raises his eyebrows, openly grinning at his brother’s terror. “Newt, I promise you that won’t happen. She’s head over heels for you, and rightly so. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else listen to your rants on erumpent mating patterns. Trust me, she’s the one for you as much as you are the one for her.”
Newt chews on his nail still, ignoring Pickett as he clambers up his shoulder. “But, what if?”
“When have I ever been wrong?”
“Plenty of times. Remember that time you told Molly Henderson she’d be fine drinking whatever Edward brewed?”
Theseus scoffs. “She was fine in the end.”
“Most people don’t like boils,” Newt quips, eyes focused on the closed doors at the end of the alley.
“Well, that’s not really the point of what I was saying.”
Newt shifts from foot to foot, shaking his head. “You never make sense, Theseus. Never have.”
“You’re together because of me. I was right back then, wasn’t I?”
Newt just scoffs in response, too nervous to respond. Only a moment later, the organ purrs, playing music Newt had heard many times before.
He’d just never been at the front of the aisle when it played.
Bridesmaids that you invited and groomsmen Newt knew more through Theseus than anyone march down the aisle. Jacob helps Queenie down, stopping only to pat Newt on the shoulder, nearly sending Pickett tumbling to the ground. The small creature grumbles, but the noise is lost on Newt as you round the corner, stunning as always, but now… now he doesn’t know what to say.
“Wow,” he breathes out, and Theseus nudges him with his elbow.
“Told you.”
“Shut up.”
But Newt says it with a half-smile, concentrated only on the way you look, the way you shine in the colors, drenched first in blue then red then purple then finally, as you climb the three steps to stand in front of him, gold.
He swallows, fighting and failing to contain his smile. “You—You look lovely, dear.”
“Not too shabby yourself, Mr. Scamander.”
His heart goes into overdrive, entire world glowing around him as the priest begins his speech, begins the blessings and says the words he needs to marry you.
Newt doesn’t really listen. Even when Pickett crawls over his sleeve and clambers onto your shoulder to grab your earring, Newt’s not bothered. It’s perfect. As perfect as can be. For the first time in his life, Newt feels fully and truly alive.
“Forever?” You murmur, grabbing his hands, holding them in yours and Newt can’t breathe.
“Forever,” he murmurs back, knowing with every beat of his heart that he will spend the rest of his life at your side trying to make you smile.
Newt’s fingers are linked with yours, tugging you forward, back to the apartment, to the case.
“Newt,” you giggle, “what are you in a hurry for? It’s only been a couple weeks.”
“Come on, love. I’ve something to show you.”
“What is it?”
He glances back over his shoulder, heart soaring at the sight. It’s been a month that he’s officially been yours—and the eleven years before that when he was unofficially yours—and still he finds himself struck down by how beautiful you are, that glimmer in your eyes, that carefree smile, that wondrous, heart-stopping laugh. How he lived before such a love is beyond him.
But you’re here now, at his side, panting the slightest from rushing up three flights of stairs, hands on your knees. “Well, what is it?”
Newt unlocks the door and leads you inside, into the bedroom, down the case. Theseus and Queenie had managed to convince the two of you to leave it behind for the honeymoon, but it had been an antsy two weeks, both of you excited to return to two different reasons.
You simply adored the creatures, loved wandering with them, playing with them, helping them when they were injured and reading to them when they were tired. Newt found it precious, not that he was allowed to admit that anymore after one too many embarrassed glares from you. Still, he would sneak to the area where you were reading to the mooncalves or occamies and listen, an unavoidable smile painted on his face.
His reason was far more devious.
Theseus greets you both when you climb inside. “Well there’s the two lovebirds. I was wondering if you’d come back.”
“What else would we do?” You ask, eyes darting to Dougal as he putters around the workspace.
“Oh I don’t know. Run off to Italy? Spend your time delving into ruins in Romania? Risk dragons’ fire in Russia?”
“As if,” you say, rolling your eyes.
Newt swallows the nerves growing in his stomach. “Love, if I may interrupt…”
You spin to attention, grinning up at him. “Whatever you want, darling.”
Newt’s cheeks flush as Theseus whistles. Bloody brothers. “I had a lovely time on our… trip,” he hesitates, a glare cast at Theseus to convince the bothersome man to shut up for once in his life, “and I know that we promised not to get each other anything else, but I did.”
“Newt! You knew the deal.”
“Yes, but how could I resist?”
“Whatever it is, I’m not taking it,” you say, clearly adamant in your decision. “You know the rules.”
“Okay, but how,” Newt stretches behind Theseus, reaching for the tiny tree he’d bought and shipped only a week earlier, “can you resist giving her a home?”
You stop your protests short, eyes bulging. “A bowtruckle?”
“She refuses to imprint on a tree. In fact, she’s fixed on staying with me, but Pickett’s already a jealous bugger, so, if you’d like, I thought you could bring her with you. She’s quite kind and observant, and I’m sure she’ll be a wonderful companion when I’m not around to bother you.”
“You’re sure? She doesn’t want to be with the others?”
“They’ve taken to a bit of a civil war.” He sighs, exasperated with his creatures. “Maybe you can bring them peace. You’ve always been better with them than I.”
The knot in Newt’s chest unwinds as you light up. “I’d love to. I always told you that you’re too stern on them. They just want to swing around their tree, not listen to lectures.”
Theseus laughs, “He’s always been like that, you know. Too serious. I’ve always told him to lighten up. You know, he was terrified to ask you out. Shook like a leaf just thinking about it.”
“No way. Newt?”
Newt just reaches out to squeeze your hand. “Utterly terrified. But it was worth it.”
Theseus offers to lead you to the tree as Newt finishes some cleaning, and as he watches the two of you walk away, laughing and joking, he feels his heart swell. There’s nowhere else he’d rather be than by your side. With a final smile to himself, he turns back to his work desk, clearing away months of old notes and menus and brochures. He’d been terrified so many years ago, but it’d been worth it. Now he has the love of his life by his side as he works toward his dream career. In his wildest dreams, he never would’ve dreamed himself so happy.
He finds you later, curled up against an erumpent, playing with the niffler and charming a tea cup to float around for Dougal to try to catch. Your bowtruckle is resting on your shoulder, watching the niffler with a suspicious glance.
Newt stifles a laugh, dusty boots knocking gravel away as he steps to your side. “May I join you?”
“Of course. Here.” You scoot over, making room for Newt. He pats the erumpent’s back once before falling onto the spot next to you, arm winding around your waist.
“Having fun?”
Dougal stops chasing the tea cup, so you let it settle in the grass, turning your attention to Newt as Dougal wraps his arms around Newt’s neck. “She’s a sweetheart, you know.” You nod at your shoulder. “So kind. The others pick on her, though.”
“But you’ll set them straight.”
“I’ve already started. I told them if they don’t be nice, I’ll move their tree into the shadows. They weren’t very happy about that, but I think it might have worked.”
Newt leans over to press a kiss to your temple, smiling into the kiss. “I love you so much, dear.”
“I love you too,” you say with a laugh. “What prompted that?”
He bumps the top of your head with his nose, eyes shut as he soaks in this feeling, this moment of peace, this pure bliss. He can hardly contain his joy, feels like he’s about to fracture apart, but he just kisses you once more. “You, love. You.”

There was nothing that could help you prepare for this day. You knew it was coming and you knew there was nothing you could do to change it.
The hot summer wind blew your hair in your face as you stood on the porch of you best friend and lover’s home, Newt Scamander. 
The two of you grew up together, your houses being not too far apart. Both of you were sorted in to Hufflepuff when you entered your first year at Hogwarts and were elated. 
As the years passed, your friendship grew to love and in your sixth year at Hogwarts, you shared your first kiss. Ever since, you had been madly in love and nothing kept you two apart.
That was until now.
As you stood there, staring off in to the yard and watching the wind blow the grass which the Hippogriffs in the yard were so peacefully eating, you felt the pit in your stomach grow as you suddenly heard the footsteps approaching. 
The door opened and you heard the voices of Theseus, his mother, your parent’s and Newt. Everyone paused as they watched you, back to them as you refused to turn around. You knew once you did you’d shatter to a million tiny pieces and God knew you’d never be whole again.
A gentle hand found itself on your shoulder and you took in a deep breath, closing your eyes to keep the tears from spilling out. You had refused to sit in the living room with them as they said their goodbyes and opted to stand on the porch, trying to convince yourself none of this was real and it was all just a cruel dream.
“Y/N....” The sound of your name leaving Newt’s lips was all it took and before you knew it, your tears were streaming down your cheeks. Everyone knew this was hard for you just as it was for them, but you were taking it the hardest. 
Mrs. Scamander looked over to your parents and Thesues and with a single look, they all followed her down the porch to give you two your privacy. 
Using the back of your hand, you wiped the tears away and Newt grabbed your other hand, trying to turn you to face him. You fought it at first but you finally gave in. Your body now facing his, you kept your eyes shut as you focused on the breeze and the sounds of the birds chirping nearby. 
“Y/N, please.... look at me.”
You shook your head in response, your body fighting to hold back the sobs trying to escape. Your throat was tight and you struggled to breathe. Newt’s hand came to rest on your cheek and his forehead came to rest against yours. The wind blew his scent towards you; cinnamon with a hint of mint. 
Neither one of your spoke for the few minutes you stood there, just relishing one another’s company. 
Finally opening your eyes, you looked up, his sea foam green eyes looking down at you; tears forming in the corners. 
“P-promise me you’ll c-come back.” You murmured. 
“I promise, love.” Placing a kiss to your forehead, his attention was averted as Thesues shouted from across the yard.
“We have to go!”
Your bottom lip began to tremble as you realized your time was dwindling and soon he’d be gone. 
“I’ll be there in a minute!” Newt shouted back. Turning his gaze back to you, he cupped your face in his hands saying, “I love you, Y/N and I will be back for you, okay? I promise. I love you more than anything in my entire life.”
Your tears poured down your cheeks and Newt swiftly brushed them away with his thumbs, kissing your forehead again. As much as he tried to keep himself together of you, the sight of you falling a part in front of him was too much and the wizard began to shed his own tears. 
“Write me, okay?” You asked. 
“Everyday.” 
“Newt!”
Irritated by his older brother’s interruption, Newt looked back at him, an angry look on his face as he shouted back, “I’m coming!”
Pushing your chin up, Newt placed a kiss to your lips, lingering there a few minutes before parting them and looking in to your eyes. It was time. As his hand slowly slipped from yours, you watched as he descended down the steps in his uniform and making his way towards his bags. Bending down, he hoisted them up over his shoulder before turning back around at the sound of his name.
Rushing down the steps, your skirt blew in the wind as you leapt in to his arms causing him to drop his bag as he lifted you up. Your lips crashed in to his and you wrapped your arms around his neck. Newt leaned back, giving himself better leverage to hold you in the air. 
Your lips moved perfectly against his and you picked up every detail of the kiss for your memory to hold on to and to remember. 
Setting you down gently, your lips broke a part and you both took in a breath of air. The wizard took your hand to his lips and kissed each knuckle as he looked in to your eyes, memorizing ever piece of you. 
“I love you, Newt Scamander.”
“And I love you, Y/N L/N.”
You smiled, your tear stained face shining in the sunlight. 
Still holding your one hand, Newt bent down to grab his bag once again and as he turned away, his hand slowly slipping out of yours, he turned his head around and made his way towards his brother. 
Everyone said their goodbyes one last time and as Newt and Theseus took out their wands, you watched as they apparated away. 
For the first time in your life, you felt as if half of you was missing. And you had no idea if you’d ever get it back.
I know this wasn't a request but I just really needed to write it. I LOVE war/romance stories and I have had this floating around my head for a while. I hope you enjoyed it!!! I kind of want to continue it but I suppose it depends on if people like it.
