Newt Scamader X Reader

"I-I-" Newt stuttered.

"Well come on then!" She called, grabbing Newt's wrist and pulling him along behind her.

"We've got a Niffler to catch!"
*****
Newt opened the door to his flat, exhausting the last ounce of his energy trying to pull his keys from his pocket. Realizing he'd probably left them inside, he glanced around before taking out his wand.

"Alohomora" he whispered.

The door swung open, allowing him to stumble tiredly inside, before shutting the door closed and nearly collapsing against it.

He flopped down onto a couch nearby, setting his case opposite him. He ran a tired hand through his hair, sending a look towards his case.

"You're a handful." He'd been directing the words toward his Niffler, but realized that everything inside was just as tiring.

With a groan, he got up to begin feeding his beasts. He set his case down in the middle of the floor, before descending into it.
*****
It had probably been a few hours. He didn't really know how long it had been, as time seemed to be nonexistent in his little world.

He heard a voice.

He stopped talking to the Occamy in his hand, setting it down into its nest. He listened carefully, before hearing it again.

"Hello? I-Is someone there?" He pulled his wand out, holding it in front of him in case he'd need to use it to protect himself.

The voice seemed too distant to be in his case, so he walked slowly towards the stairs.

He opened the trapdoor carefully, peaking only the top of his head and eyes out to see who could possibly be in his flat.
It was her.

She was wearing less; her coat was gone and her shoes were different. Her hair was wild and she was shifting around anxiously, but it was still Y/n.

"Newt?" She called again.

Newt began to climb out of his case.

"Oh!" she jumped in surprise, "hello."

Newt, once standing out of his case, turned to her with a confused look.

"Y/n? What are you doing - how- how are you here?" He asked, pocketing his wand.

"I'm so sorry for intruding. Apparated." Her eyes shifted around the room frantically.

Newt, however confused, nodded in understanding.

"Why?" He asked.

"My Leaflet," she said urgently.

"I'm sorry?" He asked, his brow furrowing.

"Sorry. I have a Bowtruckle that I carry everywhere - attachment issues, it's not uncommon for the youngest Bowtruckle in a group - and she's not in my coat and I couldn't find her anywhere and I thought maybe she got confused when we bumped into each other and maybe you have her and I'm so sorry but I'm worried sick-"

"Hey," Newt said, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder to calm her down, "I haven't seen her, but I'll look in my coat, shall I? Follow me."

It was Newt's turn to carefully take her wrist, leading her down into the case.

Newt's workshop in his case was crowded with more than one person, but he tried to keep a socially acceptable distance away from her while he searched through his coat pockets.

"Here's one," he mumbled, pulling Pickett out from his breast pocket.

"Pickett, have you seen another Bowtruckle around? Her mummy is here, and she's dreadfully worried." Newt spoke to the Bowtruckle slowly.

Pickett seemed to look towards the woman, who was standing in the corner and biting her nails.

Pickett pointed towards Newt's pocket.

Newt turned to Y/n.

"Can you hold him while I find your Leaflet?" He asked, presenting the Bowtruckle to her.

She nodded, smiling softly, as she took Pickett.

"Hello, Pickett, is it?" She asked as Newt began to search for Leaflet.

After a few moments, he held out his hand. Leaflet sat perched on his palm, reaching out to her owner.

"Oh, Leaflet! You're a naughty one, aren't you?" She asked, taking her Bowtruckle carefully from Newt.

Both watched seriously at Pickett greeted Leaflet by giving her a strange hug-like embrace.

"I haven't seen that before." Newt whispered, looking up at Y/n.

"Neither have I." She smiled, returning the eye contact.

"Looks like they've become attached to each other," Newt whispered.

And both wizards would be lying if either said they hadn't gotten attached to each other as well.
