Summary: Newt accidentally body shamed you and when he tried to comfort you he found out how ticklish you were.

You missed Newt. And that was still an understatement. He travelled to America to set Frank free, and you needed to decline his offer to come with him because of your job. He was now gone for a few months and the only thing you get from him are a few letters and postcards. But you needed him in person. You needed his comforting words especially because you suffer from anorexia. When you first met Newt, you were that underweight that you only had skin and bones on you. He helped you on the path to get healthier again. And on the way you two fell in love with one another.

Truth to be told Newt wasn’t too happy to let you behind because you’re first his girlfriend and second you tend to overthink about what others think of you and your appearance. You still hadn’t managed to get to a healthy weight, and he hoped that you didn’t lose any more again.

As if Missing Newt wasn’t enough, you also had a pretty bad day. First you overslept and came late to work then you realized that you’ve forgotten your wallet so you couldn’t buy yourself something for breakfast and neither for lunch. After that you had an argument with your boss and as a result, he gave you even more work that you had to finish. When you were finished you walked home. Before you could take your wand out and conjure an umbrella it started pouring. Finally at home, you walked past the mirror in the hallway and couldn’t stop yourself to think you’ve gained too much weight over the past months. Sighing you walked in your bedroom to change into a shirt of Newt and a pair of sweatpants and then laid on your bed. You took the letters that from Newt from your nightstand and started reading them all over again like so many times before. Deep in your thoughts you didn’t hear the door opening and closing again. “Hello, Love. “, called an all too familiar voice, that you missed so much. You looked up and saw your boyfriend standing in the doorway with his shy smile. You wasted no time in getting up and throwing your arms around him, which made him chuckle softly. “I missed you!”, you exclaimed happily. Newt replied. “, I missed you too.”, as he wrapped his arms around you and laid his cheek on your head after he placed a kiss to it.  After a while Newt pulled away a little to look at you. “Hey, you’ve gained weight. You loo- “, at that your face dropped immediately and Newt interrupted himself when he saw that. You were aware that you’ve gained weight but hearing it from another person especially from Newt was an entire other thing. You felt tears build up, close to drop. “Hey sweetheart, what’s wrong?”, you just stormed out of your bedroom leaving his question unanswered as tears started to fall. Newt was left to stand there completely confused. He started to think over what he could’ve done wrong. Soon it hit him. Of course you would think he meant, that you would be too thick but that’s definitely not what he meant by what he said. He was trying to say that you looked way better and a lot healthier than he had ever seen you. He quickly got out of the room and called your name, but you didn’t answer. He looked in every room until he heard someone sobbing softly. Quickly he went in that direction to see you hiding behind the kitchen island with your arms around your legs and your head laying on your knees. And the worst you were crying because of him. “(Y/n).” , he sadly called you. You looked up and Newt saw your already red eyes and tears streaming down your cheeks. “Go away, Newt!”, coldness mixed with a little anger overtook your normally sweet and calming voice.

Normally he would now hug you and comfort you at moments like this but now he didn’t know what to do because he was the reason why you were upset. But he finally decided to hug you and comfort you. He slowly came closer like he would with a newfound creature of his. When you didn’t move away, he reached out to you and pulled you into his chest holding you tightly as you started crying even more. He held you like that pressing multiple gentle kisses on your hairline.  “I’m so sorry, (Y/n). You misunderstood me. I didn’t mean you’re gained too much weight. I meant that you look a lot healthier. And I’m so proud of you for that.”, he calmly explained. “Are you sure?”, your broken voice hurt Newt even more. He took his hands and placed them on your shoulders pulling you away slightly, so he can look in your now red puffy eyes. “I really do. I promise. “, he assured as he let his hands wander down at your sides to your waist. What he didn’t expect is that you jumped and squeaked at his touch on your ribs. Although you were dating for quite a while Newt didn’t know that you were really ticklish.

He shortly looked confused, but his expression quickly turned into a smile. As he began tickling you now purposefully making you laugh uncontrollably. „Please, Newt stop. “, you begged between laughter. „Hmm. “, he paused for a bit to let you breathe again, „I don’t think so. I love to hear your laugh too much. “, he confessed as he now attacked your stomach making you toss and turn trying to get out of his grip, but it had no use. „Please, Newt. I can’t anymore. “, you tried again. „Only if you promise to be happy again. “, he negotiated.

„Fine.”

“Promise?”, he asked tickling you one last time on your stomach drawing another laugh from you. “I promise. Just please stop.”

“Alright, I will stop. For now.”, his smile grew at the last part, and he pressed a sweet kiss to your forehead.

Enemies to lovers (part 3)

Newt Scamander x Reader

Since that day you and Newt were best friends and always together when you could. And you couldn’t lie, you were catching feelings for Newt. You loved his green/blue/grey eyes, even though that you barely meet his eyes because he nearly always looked on the floor. You loved his light brown hair that always falls in his face. You loved his freckles. You loved his personality. You loved his love for magical creatures. In short you just loved everything about Newt. “Earth to Y/n” your friend said waving a hand in front of your face. You didn’t even notice that you were staring at Newt again. “Sorry” you said a little embarrassed that he/she caught you. “If you like him so much just tell him!” he/she replied rolling his/her eyes.

“You know I can’t do that.”

“And why is that”

“I don’t want to ruin our friendship”

“Well, I think boyfriends/girlfriends are waste of time”

“And how would you know that you never had one”

“That’s because I don’t need one, jeez”

“If you think that” you murmured more to yourself than to your friend. You continued to eat your breakfast in silence. What you didn’t know is that Newt had feelings for you too and was also to scared to confess them to you. He thought that you couldn’t like someone like him you were kind, beautiful, smart, outgoing and he was shy and hated himself for it and thought that he was ugly especially with his freckles. Newt was once again staring at you in care for magical creatures. You were playing with a bowtruckle. He found it extremely cute how you played and cared for it and constantly smiled. “Mr. Scamander I know that your good at this class and I also know that I may be not half as pretty as miss Y/l/n, but could you please stop staring at her and look to the front instead?” the professor said. You looked up as you heard your name and saw Newt looked at the floor and his face was bright red from embarrassment. “Yes, sir” he whispered. the class began to laugh and you felt bad about it, just as you wanted to stand up for Newt the professor continued with the lesson. At the end of the lesson, you quickly packed your things and went to Newt as you reached him, he immediately began to blush and looked at the floor “Hey Y/n, I-I’m really sorry about what h-happened in class” he stuttered. “Newt, its ok” you smiled. For a second, he looked up to see your beautiful smile but looked quickly away as he began to blush again. “I wanted to look if your alright” “oh uh yeah I-I’m good, I j-just thought you were r-really c-cute as y-you played with that b-bowtruckle” he said even redder than he already was. “Thank you” you looked on the floor attempting to hide your blushed face. “Do… do you like magical creatures?” he asked shyly. your head flicked up “Yes, I really love them, especially drawing them.” You smiled excitingly as he mentioned them. “Then meet me at dinner time at the courtyard. Of course, only i-if you want to-“ “ I see forward to it” you cut him off still smiling. “Great” he said now smiling too. The rest of the day you were excited it wasn’t the first time you would hang out and unfortunately it wasn’t a date either but this time it has something to do with magical creatures. The classes you still had, were longer than usual, Leta bothered you like always and Newt was nowhere to be found. It was finally dinner time. You walked trough the empty hallways and heard all the students chatting and eating in the great hall, finally you reached the courtyard and saw Newt already sitting there. “You actually came” Newt said a bit surprised but overall happy. “Yeah, why do you think I wouldn’t come?” you asked. “Well, I’m sure you got more important things to do than meeting someone like me” he said shyly and a bit sad. “What is that supposed to mean, Newt. I’m always glad when I can meet you and I won’t allow you tom speak about yourself like that!” you said a bit outraged. “And what are you going to do if I do it anyway?” he said playfully. “I don’t know now. But seriously. You’re my best friend.” It hurts to call him friend but unfortunately, you were nothing more. “Your kind, funny, smart and so many things more!” You spoke true fully. “Thank you, Y/n. What do you say shall we go?” Newt said. “Yes!” you giggled. Newt stands up and walked to the forbidden forest, you followed him. “Do you trust me?” he asked as you stand in front of the forest. “Yes, of course” you asked a bit confused. “Then follow me” he replied as he walked in the forest and you next to him. Suddenly cracked a branch and you flinched and buried your face in his arm.

“Hey, its ok it, was just a centaur, see” he grabbed your hand to comfort you and pointed with the other to the centaur. You sight with relieve. “Can we go further?” he asked calmly, you nod and the two of you go deeper into the forest with Newt still holding your Hand, which he squeezed sometimes to let you know he was there. After a few minuets you saw a beautiful picnic with fairies as lights and nifflers, bowtruckles which looked curios from their tree, Occamys, crups, a Demiguise, even a unicorn was there and a plate with your favourite food. “Wow Newt, you did this?” you said looking around in disbelieve. “Yes, d-do you like it?” he asked still holding your hand. “Like it? Are you kidding? This is incredible I love it!” you said hugging him tight as Newt smiled at your response. “But why would you do that?” you asked sitting down with him and petting a crup next to you. “Well, I still felt bad about your necklace and the time I ignored you” he said looking on the floor. “I forgave you long ago.”  On this he just shrugged with is shoulders. You had the best time of your life as you sat there petting the creatures, eating and talking. You began to get tired, so you laid your head on his shoulder and he began to blush and get butterflies in his stomach.

“Newt, I still got one question.”

“Go on then”

“How on earth did you made that unicorn stay?”

He chuckled “Well, with a lot of convincing” you smiled to yourself at his response and closed your eyes. Short after you fell asleep and Newt had butterflies in his stomach as he heard your steady breath and smiled to himself, he carefully lies down to not wake you up and lied you on his chest he covered you both with a blanket that he had prepared “Goodnight Y/n” he kissed your head and soon falls asleep too, with you in his arms.

Vampire Orphan

Chapter 1

She sat there once again leaned on the large window looking how the kids were picked up by their parents from school. A single tear escaped Lilith's hazel eye but she quickly wiped it away. She was six when her mother was tortured to death from her own father right in front of her eyes as she hid under the table in their once cute little living room afraid of what he would do to her if he knew that Lilith was there too and everything because her mother didn't want to be on Voldemort's side. After he murdered Aurora, Lilith's mother, he ran away but that didn't had much use he was caught only a few days later. Her father was sent to Azkaban for lifetime. She didn't really miss him because he never really was nice to her and even used to hit her but Aurora and Lilith were very close in fact Aurora was the only person who got Lilith's full trust. The girl still got nightmares of her mother dying. Every night she saw her mother falling to the ground, her father on top of her, beating and torturing her and hearing her screams. Since Lilith didn't got any other relatives, she had to live in an orphanage and she was sick of it but she didn't want to someone adopting her either, she just wanted her old life back, where she was happy and weren't always alone but that was long ago five years to be exact. Now Lilith is eleven years old and got still no friends. But the reason wasn't that nobody wanted to be friends with her or hang out with her. The reason was that she couldn't trust anyone no matter what they tried Lilith just couldn't be nice. "Lilith!" a voice called out, which startled her out of her thoughts but she didn't respond. "Lilith, here you are! The family, that is interested in you is nearly here." ,'Interested in me, as if I' m some sort of pet ' Lilith thought, "Please be ready in 20 min. and come to my office." Mrs. Jones continued. Lilith rolled her eyes at her and head to her dorm but not without bumping in Mrs. Jones shoulder. When she arrived the girl changed her clothes, drew eyeliner, used red eye shadow and matching red lipstick. After that she brushed her dark blonde hair.

(Lilith’s Outfit)

(her eye make up)

Lastly she put her three piercings in. She got two at the top from her right ear and on at the middle of her left ear. She knew especially Mrs. Jones hates them. The girl took one last look in the mirror in her dorm and head to the office from Mrs. Jones. Lilith didn't bother to knock and just stormed in. Inside was a woman in a cute red dress and a man with blue jeans and a grey shirt. Both of them smiled warmly at her but Lilith didn't smile back. " you must be Lilith, its so great to finally meet you.", the woman said," I'm Nadia and this is my husband Marcus" The girl nodded one time to show she heard them. "Don't you want to introduce yourself?" Mrs. Jones asked hoping for a better conversation than all the last times when somebody was interested in her. " What should I tell them? They should already have known everything they need to know, haven't they?" Lilith said turning to Mrs. Jones. " Um, actually we don't know that much. We only got a picture from you and know what your name and age is." Nadia stated. "I would say that's enough to know." She said coldly. "Oh uh, well-", Marcus started. "why don't you tell them, which languages you can speak?" , Mrs. Jones asked, giving her hopes for a nice conversation up. "English, German, Latin, Spanish, Russian, Italian, french and sign language.", she answered uninterested. "Wow, that are a lot of languages." Marcus said impressed. "Lilith can speak by far the most languages from all of the children." Mrs. Jones said kinda proud. "When did you got all the time to learn so many?", Nadia asked interested. Lilith shrugged "Guess I was just bored. Its not the nicest place to be, you know.", she answered slightly annoyed. "Then you would like to have a new home?", Nadia asked with hope in her voice. "Actually no, I wouldn't like that!" Lilith replied with more anger than she originally planned to use as the faces of the couple fell. "Watch your tone!" Mrs. Jones warned Lilith. "Whatever" Lilith said rolled her eyes, now clearly annoyed. "Could you please go outside for a minute?" Mrs. Jones tried to sound as kind as possible, but Lilith knew, that she is really angry and disappointed in her, like every time when a family had wanted to adopt her. However Lilith walked past them and out of the room. She found herself sitting on a chair next to the door where she often sits after she talked with a family. The girl could hear that Nadia said "I don't know, but it seems like she doesn't like us much." "Don't take it personal she's always like that", Mrs. Jones said hopelessly and Lilith couldn't help but smile at her answer. After that she didn't hear anything for a while. The next thing she could hear was Mrs. Jones as she said "I'm afraid but I have to inform you that Lilith isn't the easiest child. She ran away multiple times and last time she was found like so many times before from the Royal Navy, but she had three piercings in her ears. Nobody knows where she was or what exactly happened, well except of course Lilith but she won't speak about it. Aside from that Lilith isn't good at following rules. She almost breaks everyday at least one and if you couldn't already tell she isn't the politest." Lilith isn't really annoyed that she brought that up but isn't really pleased with it either. "-but Lilith is a really smart girl and she learns fast. She gets in every test 100% and as you heard she can speak many languages.-" Lilith couldn't hear anymore of their conversation as suddenly the door flung open and Mrs. Jones stands in the doorway. "Would you come back in again?" "Do I even have a choice?" Lilith responded but got up anyways she didn't want to mess with her any further. Back in the office Nadia and Marcus were waiting for her once again they smiled again but Lilith saw that they were clearly more nervous, although the girl couldn't tell why exactly. "I'm going to let you talk alone for a bit I'll be in the last room on the right if you need anything." Mrs. Jones explained and walked out of the room letting the three alone.

Hey there!!! I loved your newt scamander fics 😭❤️❤️❤️🥹 I was wondering if I could maybe request something? Newt X fem reader with long brown hair and blue and green eyes. Around the height 5’9. Maybe something that would bring his softer side out. Cute and very fluffy. Maybe the reader crying her heart out after he accidentally body shames her. The reader would storm out and cry in the corner. Would notice what he said and come straight to her. come to her side and try to hold her but she faces the other way and tell him to go away angrily. He would think twice weather to hug her or not. Comforting whispers and back rubs. Reassuring. He won’t budge, not after what he did. Lots of cuddles and forehead and cheek kisses. He would probably accidentally discover that she’s ticklish because he would adjust himself whilst she’s sobbing. She would feel the ticklish sensation and start to giggle. He would grow a smile and give her lots of tickles to make her happy again. Defo teasing (not 18+) Tummy tickles especially. Would discover many more tickle spots. Loves to see her smile and won’t stop until she’s going to make sure to be happy. Defo weak spots that make her go into silent laughter.

Hey, firstly thank you so much for your feedback and I'm glad you liked my story. And secondly I will definitely try my best at your request. ❤😘

Enemies to lovers (part 5)

Newt Scamander x Reader

You wake up with Newts strong arms wrapped protectively around you. He was still asleep. You pushed a strand of hair out of his face and admired him as he slept peacefully. Newt slowly began to wake up. "You could have woken me up" he said with his morning voice. "But you looked so peacefully" you responded. Newt began to blush as he realized what you had said. "Thank you" you said nuzzling deeper in his chest. "F-for what?" He asked confused. "For yesterday, I don't know what he would have done with me if you weren't there and if I'm honest I think I don't want to know it." You said as you felt tears in your eyes. Newt, who heard the sadness in your voice, hugged you tighter. "Ssh it's over now. You're safe with me and I'll protect you I promise." "Thank you so much I don't know what I would do without you." You said as he smiled. "How about I stay awake and protect you and you go back to sleep. I know you need it." "What about school? I don't want that you get detention because of me." "I don't care. And they will understand it if you want to talk about it with them. I don't say anything if you don't want that but, in my opinion, I think you should talk to them so he can get punished but it's up to you, ok?" You just nodded and drifted off to sleep again. You wake up alone in Newts room and were confused because the young wizard normally kept his promises until you saw the bathroom door open (imagine the dorms have their own bathroom) and Newt came out just with a pair pants on. You couldn't help but state at his scars and muscles. "Oh, you're awake. I uh I'm sorry I know they're pretty ugly." He said obviously embarrassed as he put a shirt on. "What? No! They are not!" you stand up and walk towards him. "Well, I think they are, along with my freckles and-" "Whoa stop! I forbid you to talk about yourself like that, remember? And by the way I think that they make you unique. And your scars show that you are brave enough to stand next to a creature that could possibly rib your throat. And I think that your quite handsome just like you are." You now stand directly in front of him you're noses nearly touching. He is bright red and looked from your eyes to your lips and back up, clearly nervous. "C-can I k-kiss you?" he managed to stutter. You we're surprised by his question but quickly nodded. He slowly leaned in, giving you enough time to still back away. And then his soft lips landed on yours. The kiss was soft and you didn't ever want to pull away. When you finally pulled away You just looked in each other's eyes. Suddenly there's loud knock at the door, which made you flinch and hide behind Newt. He quickly put a random shirt on, grabbed your hand and called the person in. The door opened and in the doorway stands Professor Dumbledore. "If I remember correctly, you should be in class now, Mr. Scamander." "I uh-" "Am I right Mr. Scamander?" Dumbledore asked "Yes, Professor" he said looking at the floor. "May I ask then why you are here and not in class, you don't seem ill?" "Its because of me, Professor!" you quickly replied. The Professor looked at you. "Yesterday, there" you take a deep breath feeling tears build up "ther-there was this boy" you couldn't say more before you burst into tears again. Newt quickly pulled you in his arms. "He abused her." Newt completed your sentence still holding you. "Miss/Mr Y/l/n, is that true?" Dumbledore asked. You just nodded against his chest "Yes, sir". "Do you know who it was" Dumbledore asked complete serious now. You shook your head "but p-please don't give Newt detention it's not his fault he rescued me" "under these circumstances you don't have to worry, miss/Mr. Y/n, neither one of you will get detention." You both let out a sight of relieve. "Could you describe me the boy?" (you two describe the guy) "After I casted the flipendo charm he flew against a sharp stone and began bleeding he now should have a little scar on his left cheek." Newt explained. "Ok, thank you, you two. And I think I know who it could was. And miss/Mr Y/l/n it was really brave to tell me this and I promise he will be punished also I will talk to your professors you are dismissed for today." "Thank you, Sir." You and Newt said at the same time. The Professor left you two alone. "Are you alright Y/n?" Newt asked as you thought about what happened between you two before professor Dumbledore came. Could you kiss him now anytime you want? Does he like you as much as you like him? "Is everything alright, beautiful?" he asked again. Your head shoot up after he called you beautiful "Sorry, what did you say?" he laughed a little "I was asking if you were alright... beautiful." "I uh, yes never better" you blushed and he smirked when he could see the reaction to the nickname, he gave you.

"Y/n, I really need to tell you something that i wanted to say to you long ago."

"Go on then."

"I really fancy you. And I can understand if you don't like me like that, I mean we were just like enemies a few months ago and-"

You cut him off with a soft but meaningful kiss he was first surprised but obviously kisses back. You pulled away and rested your forehead on his "I fancy you to handsome" you said smiling and he blushed. "Revenge" you whispered in his ear, he now began smiling too. "Only fair I guess" he whispered back and your guys smiles grew even more (if that's even possible).

Child of the street

Newt Scamander x (child; witch) reader

requested by: @newtscamanderimagines (again so sorry it took so long)          

Word count: 1569                                        

Summary: Your parents were tired of you and kicked out. Luckily Newt found you before you could freeze to death by an extremely cold winter in England.   

Warnings: Mention of parents kicking child (you) out

It is winter in England and that means its freezing outside So, everyone is mostly inside tucked into blankets with hot chocolate in their hands. Everyone except for you. Well, you probably would have done the same thing if you could. The problem is just that you don’t have a home. Your parents didn’t want you and kicked you out at the age of seven. At some point someone called the police, and they took you to an orphanage. You lived there for a few months but most of the kids there made fun out of you because your parents didn’t want you. The teachers weren’t nice either. So, at some point you ran away. Since then, you lived on the road and hid from everyone in case they would take you back to the orphanage.

 Now you are sitting under a bridge holding your dirty coat, that definitely wasn’t made for this temperature and in addition to that it has many holes and you have long grown out of it, trying to bring some warmth back in your cold body. You would have a new one if you wouldn’t have given all your collected money to a homeless guy with an adorable dog. Your shivering right hand puts a dirty strand of (h/c) hair behind your ear.

“Hello? “, calls a to you unknown voice softly, which makes you jump. Slightly turning around you saw a man with brown hair. Definitely older than you with hazel eyes standing tall next to you and looking confused but softly at you. “Oh, um. I- I didn’t want to startle you. I’m sorry.”, he stutters out looking awkwardly at the ground. You debate if you should run away or not. On one hand he could call the police but on the other hand he looks really friendly maybe he would help you. After a moment you finally stutter a quite “H-hey.”. The man didn’t expect you to answer anymore and nearly walked away again thinking you don’t want to talk with him. So, he shortly looks up but directly looks at the ground again. “I’m Newt. May I ask what your name is?”

“(Y/N).”

He takes one closer look eyeing especially your coat. You shudder at the weight of his gaze. He takes off his own and offers it to you. “Here, you must be freezing.” You look confused up at him. “But t-then you’ll be cold,” you state quietly. “I have another one in my case. Please take it you’ll freeze to death,” you hesitantly reach out and take the coat wrapping it around you. You sigh as you feel the warmth of his coat. “Thank you,” you smile up at him and Newt smiles back down at you.

“Y-you don’t have a home, do you?” you look down and said sadly “I- uhm,” you take a deep breath before answering, ”No,”

Newt comes up beside you and points to the ground next to you. “May I?” he asks.

You only nod and he sits down next to you. You begin to play with the end of your coat as you always do when you’re nervous. “Where are your parents?” You shrug. It isn’t a lie you have no idea where your house is and if your parents are still living there.

“Are you lost. Maybe your parents are already searching for you. I could help you find them.” he tries to find out why a child at such a young age is alone on the street. You get tears in your eyes at the memory of your parents but only shake your head. “Can I help you in any way?” he asks after some time of silence. You think about it. Never in the three years you lived on the street someone cared as much as he does for you, so maybe he would take you in. He definitely saw how underweight and cold you are maybe he got enough sympathy to not just bring you back to the orphanage.

“Please, can you take me with you?”  you answer quiet and quickly, and he almost didn’t get your question.

“What? I-I don’t know, (Y/N). I’m not sure if that’s the best idea- “

“Please, Newt. I promise I’ll clean or cook, or both just please take me with you. Please.” you beg him and look at him with teary eyes.

“Fine.” he says sighing giving in your pleadings. “Really?”, you ask hopefully.

“Really.”, he confirms smiling. You practically jumped up with Newt’s long coat still hanging over your shoulders at which he laughed slightly.

“Well then, come along.”, he gestures to the direction of his home.

Along the way you both get to know each other better.

“Here it is.”, he announces as he opens the door.

Your mouth hangs open in surprise at the size of his home. As you step inside you are greeted with four baby Niffler running up your legs trying to steal any shimmering thing you possess. “Pumpernickel, Pumpkin, Pistachio, Persimmon!”, Newt warns with an authoritarian voice, “that is not how we threat guests!”. That however doesn’t stop the four and they dig into your pockets and stole every shimmering object and leave as fast as they came. “Sorry about that. They’ll bring this in their nest so we can fish that out later. Although you must get used to that if you really want to live here.”, he apologizes with a slight smirk.

 You lived there with Newt for quite some time now and he taught you about many creatures that he had.

“Who is this?”, you asked after you caught a little green stick like creature looking out of Newts chest pocket. He looks to his pocket and carefully pulled it out. “That’s Pickett. He is a bowtruckle. Normally they live on trees and are nearly impossible to spot if they don’t show themselves voluntarily.”, Newt explains as the little bowtruckle shyly stands on his palm.

“And why isn’t he on a tree then?”, you ask as Pickett eyes you. “Well, he was ill and needed a little body warmth to get better but now he doesn’t want to go back to his tree in fear the other bowtruckles would judge him. I tried everything that comes to my mind, but nothing worked.”, he goes on. After Newt finished his explanation Pickett walks to the fingertips of Newts hand and held out his arms motioning, he wants to you. “Hold out your hand.”, Newt commands. When you do, he let Pickett walk over to you. Pickett waits for a moment before he snuggles up into your hand. “He likes you.”, he states with a little proud smile. He looks at your confused expression and laughs at that. Truth to be told you don’t know much about physical affection. You haven’t really experienced it before, not from anyone may it be human or creature. That’s what got you confused you didn’t really know that people or creatures show physical affection to show that they like someone.

As he laughs and you only look more confused than before he tries to find a moment where he had heard you laugh but there was none. Sure, he had seen you smile and your eyes light up when you met a new creature and it liked you, but he never saw or heard you laugh before. He frowns, which makes you slightly worried.

“What’s wrong, Newt?”

“Why do you never laugh?”

“What do you mean?”

“In all the time I’ve never seen or heard you laugh. Why is that?”

“I don’t know.”, you look how Pickett makes his way over your arm to your shoulder,

“Maybe I just hadn’t had something to laugh about.”, you answer playfully.

“Oh, I’ll give you something to laugh about.”, he responds just as playful as you were. Suddenly he tackles you down to the floor and attacks your sides making you squeal in surprise, but that sound quickly drowns as you begin to laugh uncontrollably. “Please, Newt stop.”, you beg while still laughing. But of course, he doesn’t stop just yet. He loves the sound of you laughing. He loves that he could make his daughter happy. You have grown him to his heart, and he doesn’t want to let you go.

“Please, Newt. I can’t breathe.”, you try again. However, this time he stops. He looks at you as you take deep breaths to calm yourself.

“Why are you staring at me like that?”, you question.

“M-may I adopt you?”, he blurts out, which makes you freeze in shock.

“Wha- what?”

“I want to adopt you. I want to wake you up every morning teach you about the new creatures and I want to be by your side when you leave for Hogwarts. I want to be a father for you. That is if you will let me.”

You jump into his arms trying not to hurt Pickett, who is still standing on your shoulder, now grabbing a strand of your hair to not fall off of it.

“I couldn’t imagine a better father!”, you exclaim excited and happy at the same time. It is now here in the arms of your father that you understand physical affection and that it is something you want to experience many more times from now on.
