"What am I doing here? Uh, I was on a walk and managed to find myself on this street and..." You murmured.

"I see. Would you maybe like to-" Newt was interrupted by high-pitched chattering.

A small, green creature poked it's head out of the breast pocket of Newt's coat. You recognised what it was almost instantly.

"Is that a-" you began.

"A Bowtruckle, yes. (Y/n), Pickett. Pickett, (Y/n). Quick warning, he can tend to be... Fickle," as Newt spoke, the awkward tension between you two seemed to melt away.

You slowly approached the man and his Bowtruckle with un-hidden fascination. You hadn't seen a Bowtruckle since your days at Hogwarts, let alone one so seemingly comfortable around humans. Once you were reasonably close, Newt raised his hand to his pocket and Pickett climbed onto it. Newt gestured you even closer.

"Hold out your hand," he said calmly.

You reached toward the man's hand and Pickett hesitantly came towards you. He seemed to investigate your outstretched hand before taking a faltering step onto it.

"Hello, Pickett," you whispered as Newt slowly retracted his hand.

The curious creature rapidly clambered up your arm and onto your shoulder where he nuzzled against your neck, chittering happily.

"Fickle, you said?" You smiled at Newt.

He smiled back, "I think he might like you a bit."

"A bit?" Pickett had climbed on top of your head and was attempting to use your hair as a bed.

Newt laughed before he started speaking again, "Well, I was going to ask if you would have liked to come inside, but you have somewhere to be...?"

"Oh! It's nothing important! I'd love to come in," you replied hastily.

Smooth, (Y/n), really smooth.

The man seemed to brighten up even more. His eyes lit up and he seemed ecstatic. You found his childish joy... Amusing? No that's not right...

Adorable.

Yes, adorable is the right word.

"Well in that case, come with me," he turned around and walked back towards his house with you at his heels.

As he opened the door to lead you inside, you couldn't help but notice how bland the interior was. Sure, it was furnished, but nothing seemed to have much personality. As you walked down the narrow hallway of the small building, you noticed a small living room which was only slightly more alive than anywhere else inside. You were surprised when you were led right past it - surely if there would be anywhere you would spend time here, it would be there.

Newt suddenly arrived at another door, "You remember my job, I assume?"

"Yes, you're a magizoologist, right?" You checked.

He nodded, "I suppose you could call this my office."

With that he opened the door. Within lay a world most could only dream of. Wonders that you would never - no, could never forget.

A new reality had just been shown to you.

A reality of fantastic beasts.
