Newt Scamander had stolen your heart years ago. It was hard not to when your fellow Hufflepuff was kind, and gentle, and a definition of chivalry. He made you feel like you were his entire world. You were, and somehow still are. However, sometimes love can hurt more than any cruticious curse.

You were set to marry him on a nice day with the Spring breeze, at least that was what you had imagined. Newt did too, he promised, and loved you deeply. Until he had fallen for someone else. He tried his best to not do it, knowing you were waiting for him at home. He hated every single day for it.

It was one evening that you finally broke. You pulled the question while feeling the creatures, helping him with the chores. Much like him, you found comfort in them, having raised some of them yourself while Newt needed to help the sicker ones. You asked who she was, and Newt replied to you with careful words, reminding you of the wedding.

You mentioned that you had gotten the dress, but wasn't so sure of it. Newt could see you knew, because most of the times you two could understand each other. He admitted it, and you could see how much he hated himself for it. But you called off the wedding, and took off that evening.

He heard you were going back to teach at Hogwarts, and that was the last time he saw you. Still wounded from the break-up, he sent you notes and drawings of his book, knowing how much you had enjoyed them. Once you had healed, you replied back with a letter. Your family were more than taken back by the news, especially since they were quick to spot the hurt in their voice.

So when Newt Scamander came back to Hogwarts after fighting Grindelwald in Paris, you were more than relived to see him in one piece. You hesitated a bit, standing behind Dumbledore as he watched the necklace that Newt's sniffler had taken. Even if the sniffler had been tightly hold by Newt, when he saw you for the first time in a year, of course he let his grip slip.

The sniffler came running towards you, spotting your scent you picked it up with open arms. The creature cuddle in your arms, while it looked up to your silver necklace. "Well, hello...Teddy" You whispered, tickling the creature softly, which in return let out a happy sound seeing you.

Newt looked up from the floor where he had attempted to pick up the Niffler just to look up to you. You smiled back in return. "Hi... Newt." You told him softly, smiling up to him. "It's good to hear you are okay...I heard about the...Umm... I was worried." You mentioned to him.

Your statement seemed to make him even more anxious. It felt like a punch in the gut. "I am sorry..." You began noticing his change.

"No, I am sorry." Newt told you, shaking his head. "You worry and I am happy you did. Not because it's good...but I also was worried. How are your parents?" Newt asked you softly, struggling to look you in the eye, but when he did you wore a bright smile.

"Probably want to skin you alive, but other than that good." You answered him, hearing a chuckle from Newt himself.

"I kind of deserve it." Newt told you softly.

"It's okay." You reassured him, taking out your hand to patted him on the shoulder. Then when he sent you a smile back, you pulled him into a tight hug. Newt returned it tightly, knowing how much stressed you must have been suffering this past couple of months.

"I assure you, I am okay." Newt whispered to you. You sighed, pulling away slightly.

"Will you like to stay for some tea?" Dumbledore asked Newt. Newt looked at the sniffler.

"You might have to hide the silverware." Newt shyly told Dumbledore.

"It's okay. I can look after it while you talk. I bet the students will be more than excitement to meet it....that is unless the Headmaster finds out." You said, sending a look to Dumbledore.

"What should he find out?" Dumbledore played with your idea, and you nodded to him. Then you turned to Newt, asking for his permission.

"I will like that very much....if you can...yes." Newt said to you. You nodded back and made your way to the halls of Hogwarts, holding the Niffler close to you like a baby. Newt knew it, you spoiled all the creatures every chance you could. It wouldn't be the last time you will see him.

. . .

You frowned quickly running inside the Room of Requirements. You had been late, making sure your own students were set to go. "We all here..." Dumbledore said to the group, spotting you running inside the room.

"Sorry." You whispered to him, standing next to Newt. Who had jet to touch the portkey.

"I was beginning to think you weren't coming." Dumbledore told you. You scoffed at him, dusting your clothe.

"Please, you know I been dying to be on the field." You said before walking to the portkey. Taking the bag that Dumbledore had handle, you embraced for the trip.

You frowned, your feet not so gracefully landing on the moving train. Of course, followed by Newt who helped stabilize you. "Alright." You sighed sending him a big smile. "It's like that trip we took to Spain....just...to save the world." You quietly said to him as you followed him through the hall and into a cart that had the rest of Dumbledore's team on it.

You froze when you froze Jacob. "I know you! You are the person on the photo." Jacob said to you. Newt motioned him to be quiet, sending you a sad look in return. You coughed, not liking all the spotlight you were getting now that Jacob pointed you out.

Newt remained on your sight, watching the team. "I think we are due on presentations..." Newt said to them from your side, not liking the spotlight neither.

"I am Jacob Kowalski, I am a no-maj." He said to the team.

You nodded kindly at him. "It's muggle." Newt said to them. Then the next person raised their hand. "I am Lally Hicks." She said to them.

"I am Yusuf Kama." The fellow wizard said, following the circle. You remained silent, watching everyone until your eyes landed on a wizard who wore a proud smile.

He looked up to you with bright eyes, and you smiled in return. Your eyes darting quickly somewhere else, not wanting to get lost in his attractive face. "I am Theseus Scamander, Auror." He said to you in a greeting.

You sent a look to Newt at the mention of the last name. "Nice to meet you. I am y/n l/n" You said, taking out your hand to shake everyone else, especially his.

"That's my brother." Newt whispered to you from his place.

"The brother..." You whispered between each other, while you turned quickly to turn to the eldest Scamander.

"Nice to meet you y/n." Theseus said to you. You only reply with a shy, not trusting your words right now.

"I'm Newt Scamander....Theseus is my brother." Newt said to them.

"That's nice, isn't it." Jacob said out loud. Whereas you, just remained quiet, stealing glances at the oldest Scamander as much as you could.

You followed Newt into a seat, your eyes still on Theseus. Newt was quick to spot your interest in his brother. He knew you as much as you knew him. "He seems nice." You quietly told Newt.

"He seems more than nice to you." Newt quietly replied, which shut you off fairly quickly.

However, when Theseus took a seat opposite to you, you lost it. "You are so hot....Damn the Scamander genes." You honestly said out loud by accident. Newt coughed, and turned to his brother who was blushing furiously.

Whatever his brother was about to say, clearly was thrown off course at your comment. Theseus tried to talk again, but nothing seemed to come out. How do you reply to that? Newt held back a laugh watching his brother speechless for the first time.

He nervously chuckle at you. "I...how do you-" He began but you cut him off.

"I am...that was-" You began but he continued.

"You go on." Theseus politely said.

"I...you were saying...you were going to say something to...your brother or me?" You stuttered out. Your face becoming bright pink, which was noticed by both brothers.

Theseus leant more on the table. "You are a Professor at Hogwarts" He said to you.

You nodded at him. "Herbology, but funnily enough I was terrible at it in school." You told him.

"It's like everything. It takes trial and error." Theseus said you.

You sighed, nodding at him. "Yeah, I guess it does." You softly said.

"How do you know my brother?" Theseus asked you. You smile faded a little, trying to come up with the words. Clearly Newt's side of the family had never heard from you at all.

"We are friends." Newt stated honestly. You return the smile to Newt, accepting his honesty. "Hufflepuff too. She seemed to be the one that most patience with me." Newt told him.

Newt eyed his older brother, who just look at you with the same interest. He narrowed his eyes in thought, looking how his brother continued to ask you questions. You answered.

However, it seemed that neither of them were in peace. Jacob walked to the table, curiously looking at you. "I know you....when is the wedding?" Jacob asked you.

You paled drastically at his words. "Wedding? Congratulations." Theseus said to you, but his words died in his mouth when he saw your face.

Newt tried to stop Jacob from telling the news, but he failed. "Yeah, when is the wedding? Didn't Newt told you? The y/n will be an Scamander." Jacob said out loud.

Theseus stopped for a second looking at his brother and then at you, but mostly at his brother. "You were engaged?" Theseus asked him.

You kindly excused yourself, feeling the walls of the train close in on you. Newt sighed, watching you go. He turned to Jacob. "There is no wedding. Not now nor in the future." Newt mentioned to both of them before following you out of the train car.

He could you cry from one of the compartments. Newt sighed, knocking on the door softly. "I am sorry...." You said to him.

Newt followed you inside, looking down at you. "I am the one that has to be sorry. For everything, if I could take it all back I would have. But part of me is selfish enough that doesn't want to because it will mean not meeting you. You the best part of it all. I failed you." Newt told you, tears already forming on his own eyes. "I failed you. You trusted me, and I failed. I have to leave with it for the rest of my life." He added, sitting opposite to you.

You felt your tears continue, but instead of hiding, you reached out to him. He held your hand from the opposite seat. "It shouldn't hurt...It stopped a long time ago." You said to him. "You never told them? About us?" You whispered to him, afraid of his words.

"My brother is too much of a hugger." Newt admitted to you. You let out a small laugh. "It's not because I wasn't proud of what we had, it's because I did. My brother is...he is perfect...got the Auror job, works at the ministry. I can't compete with that." Newt whispered to you, holding your hand tighter. "But now you know why I probably deserve be eaten by one of my creatures." He joked to you, hoping it will cheer you up, and it did.

You let out a loud laugh, accepting the gesture. "We are friends right?" Newt asked you softly. You nodded back.

"Only if you want me to be." You whispered back.

"I will like that very much." Newt said, taking a seat next to you. You rested your head on his shoulder while you cried a bit more. It was after that he felt you in deep sleep that he let go. He placed his jacket on top of you, letting you rest on the train compartment.

He froze when he saw his brother down the hall. "Where is your jacket?" His brother asked him.

Newt shrugged in return, walking towards him. "You were engaged? Never told a single soul. I will have liked to know. You are my brother." Theseus told him, looking over his shoulder to see if he could see you.

"Well, if I did will you have, would you have let me do it without the whole party invite thing?" Newt asked him.

"Sure...Yes! I wanted to be involved." Theseus said. "It's not like your younger brother gets to marry every day." He added.

Newt looked glared at the floor. "Well, there wouldn't be a wedding anymore. It hasn't for a while...It was long time ago." Newt told him. "Although, you might think otherwise." Newt said in thought, a mischievous smile on his face.

"What are you talking about?" Theseus asked him.

"I saw the look. Never thought I will see the day you will lost of words. Pretty amusing." Newt said before laughing at his brother's redden cheeks.

"I didn't know she was engaged to you." Theseus told his brother, not wanting to think worst of him. But Newt stopped him quickly.

"Y/n/n likes sunflowers, because they remind them of warmth and the sun. Loves the fresh air, but not too much. Has a sweet tooth too." Newt said to his brother, listing all the things you loved, knowing it like the back of his hand. "Loves the hugs, holding hands, and lots of kisses." He said blushing at the last part. "Makes y/n feel less alone." Newt told him.

Theseus looked at his brother unsure. "You should ask y/n out. Quiet spaces are best...too many people....we are like that." Newt said to him. "I couldn't be there for before but that doesn't mean you can't. y/n deserves to be loved, so do it." Newt told him.

Newt patted him on the shoulder with hesitation before taking off with him. Theseus did listen to his brother, and you will eventually become a Scamander indeed.
