Strings Attached

Chapter 7

        And looking at your record setting marks, we decided to let you enter the auror training or hit witch training straight away.

Head of magical Law and enforcement,
Gerard Dawson

And that's how the dinner that night turned into absolute chaos. Newt not making much conversation, Celeste talking continuously to Gilbert and Theseus about the Auror job until Albert butted in and started to talk about being the hit witch.

"It would be a genuine surprise if Fawley didn't hand over my position to you." Theseus joked as everyone lounged around the sitting room, with Newt calling night early.

"Alright, too much of a career talk. I decided what I want to be." Celeste said as she stood up.

"And?" Theseus asked, genuinely interested in the girl's career.

"Hitwitch." Celeste said before turning on her heels and walked towards her room.

"Hand me 10 galleons son." She heard her father saying, making her giggle.

"So you decided?" Newt poked his head out of the room he was staying in, making Celeste jump a bit.

"Merlin's beard, Newt!" Celeste exclaimed and tried to calm down her heart rates.

"I am sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Newt said frantically only to be drowned by Celeste's laugh.

"It's alright Newt. Anyways, I did choose my career. You are talking to a future hitwitch." Celeste said grinning.

"Really? Hitwitch?" Newt asked, his eyes going wide.

"Yep, being auror sounds good, but I want to be hitwitch now. Dealing with dark stuff and all." Celeste answered looking at Newt.

Newt smiled warmly at her. Celeste walked upto him. "I forget to tell you something." Celeste said, tilting her head up a bit, because Newt was taller than her.

"Hmm?" He hummed, confused look on his face. "I love you." Celeste said smiling, making Newt chuckle.

"And I l-love you too. Merlin, how far have we come." Newt said, resting his forehead against Celeste's.

"Is Mr. Scamander going all sentimental over me?" Celeste joked before pressing her lips over his, taking him by surprise like it always does.

"I might think so. Miss Fisher brings the best out of me." Newt said before he pressed his lips to hers again.

"Good night Newt." Celeste said pulling away and tried to go to her room, but Newt tugged on her sleeves.

"I..c..can I ask you to stay with me tonight? I totally understand if you say no." Newt said, hurriedly, expression frantic.

"Is Mr. Newton Shy Scamander asking me to stay the night with him?" Celeste asked, a smirk on her lips.

"Oh on the contrary, good night." Newt said, cheeks flushing red, but Celeste shook her head.

"Nuh uh, I am not letting this offer go." Celeste giggled before entering the guest room.

"Always told mum to change the colour of this room. But nope, she is obsessed with the blush pink colour." Celeste said as she sat on the leather chair in the room.

Newt was clearly nervous and really didn't know what took over him into asking her to stay the night.

"Newt, standing over the door frame looks extremely weir- you are nervous!" Celeste exclaimed, making Newt blush more.

"Maybe... It's not like I ask every woman to stay the night with me, is it?" Newt asked, tilting his head to the right side a bit.

"Aww is Newton getting sassy with me?" Celeste giggled as she watched Newt sitting on the edge of the bed.
