Fantastic Beasts fans after movie one: yay love those new characters, I can't wait for their adventures

The movies, by the third:

[hollowed-theory-hall]

hey! have you ever wondered exactly how portkeys work and how it differs from the apparation other than the possibility of use by minors? especially Dumbledore was able to create one in the 5th book when Nagini bites Arthur Weasley so that the children could safely return to grimmauld 12. and floo... portkeys are unlikely to be traceable like floo, because Newt Scamander also traveled to France with an additional portkey, but I think not only because of Jacob, but because it is quite a long distance and it is difficult to control the apparation if you never was in place where you want to apparate especially if another person is with you

You ask if I ever wondered exactly how portkeys work? Of course, I did! Esoteric magical theory is the bread and butter of my theorizing, so this is truly a question after my own heart.

Now, let's talk about magical transportation methods.

Apparition

Apparation is a spell that allows instantaneous travel, the fact most wizards require a wand to apparate supports it being a kind of charm:

Ron was now trying to Disapparate without a wand.

(DH, 466)

Not to mention Harry being able to do so accidentally as a child:

he’d gotten into terrible trouble for being found on the roof of the school kitchens. Dudley’s gang had been chasing him as usual when, as much to Harry’s surprise as anyone else’s, there he was sitting on the chimney.

(PS, 21)

In book 6 it's mentioned apparition requires 3 things (the 3 Ds):

Destination

Determination

Deliberation

I'd argue, there are actually 4 things based on how I believe all magic in their world works:

Intention/will - what you want the magic to do (this is the determination)

Instruction - How the magic is to do it (destination + spinning movement)

Magic - the energy to do it (and a wand to help focus and channel said energy)

A clear mind - you need a clear and focused mind (deliberation)

This makes apparition essentially a "light spell" that requires focus, like Legilemancy/Occlumancy.

As a spell that is dangerous when it goes wrong (splinching) and requires a focused and clear mind, it is regulated only for ages 16 and up. Apparation can't exactly be tracked, hence why licenses are necessary (distributed by the Department of Magical Transportation). It's not just to protect people, but also to know who can apparate.

I mean, with cars, you need a license because you wouldn't only endanger yourself if you don't know how to drive, you'll endanger pedestrians and other drivers as well. With Apparition, you are mostly just endangering yourself. So, I do believe the licensing is partly just a means to control people because the Wizarding World is a dystopia. (but it's also for the personal safety of witches and wizards. It's both!)

Apparation can be traced like any other spell (and therefore only the location it's cast can be known and not who actually cast it), but not really in any other way.

I mean, Dumbledore mentioned magic leaves traces:

“Magic always leaves traces,” said Dumbledore

(HBP, 563)

So, you could track someone aspirated from a specific location, but I don't believe we ever see anyone track to where someone apparated. It's just possible to tell where someone apparated from due to the traces magic leaves behind.

We also know both the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts are warded against apparition. This ward is referred to as an "Anti-Apparition Jinx" very much like an "Anti-Alohamora Jinx", so I assume the warding is similar, both, after all, work against charms.

Floo Network

The floo network, unlike apparition, is not a spell, but an enchantment. It's more similar to a railway or a collection of bus stations. The Floo Network Authority in the Department of Magical Transportation is responsible for managing it, and the fact it is called a "network" tells us a lot about it.

In GoF Arthur mentions how fireplaces need to be connected to the network:

I had your fireplace connected to the Floo Network, you see — just for an afternoon, you know, so we could get Harry. Muggle fireplaces aren’t supposed to be connected, strictly speaking — but I’ve got a useful contact at the Floo Regulation Panel and he fixed it for me.

(GoF, 45)

Basically, fireplaces can be added to the network by the Floo Regulation Authority like bus stops are added to a bus line. The Floo is easily traceable because there are a finite and known amount of connected points, all connected by that same Floo authority. With floo, you can know where someone entered and where they got out since you can see the entire floo activity. I don't believe you could tell who traveled there without doing some legwork (like going on location or seeing who's the owner of the fireplace, etc.)

Different countries likely have different Floo Networks (or different Floo systems altogether).

As for the magic behind it, the fact no one had to go to the Dursleys' house to connect them to the floo network, it seems it's controlled remotely, as in, the Floo Authority has a magical map of all the fireplaces in the UK and they can just connect any of them to the network. I kind of imagine it like old call exchange centers where you'd connect a line in a giant switchboard to connect calls — just with fireplaces.

Beyond that, the real magic lies in the floo powder. I believe the same magical material is used in the lines connecting the fireplaces in the connection center. Basically, when you use floo powder and state where you want to go, you go into this floo space:

Harry spun faster and faster, elbows tucked tightly to his sides, blurred fireplaces flashing past him, until he started to feel sick and closed his eyes.

(GoF, 51)

Then, the magic uses the address you stated aloud to know in the control center where to connect your line to. So, it's really like these old phone call centers.

Floo powder is described as glittering and according to the PlayStation CoS game and the mobile game Hogwarts Mystery floo is a magical flower that is the main ingredient in floo powder. But, I'm not convinced regarding the magical flower thing.

The word "floo" originates from the flue that you find on a chimney (which is the name of the shaft the smoke goes out from, which I didn't know). So I think that is also the in-universe reason floo is called floo and has nothing to do with magical plants.

If I had to guess to its ingredients I'd say:

Speedwell flowers - they used to symbolize safe travel and grow in Britian.

Ashwinder eggs - for the fire.

Are part of it. All ingredients would be burned to a fine powder (the purified salt - physical body) of the material. The burning to a powder would explain how floo powder looks and also its association with fire and the chimney flue.

SuperCarlinBrothers posed ashes from a phoenix regeneration might be used to make floo powder, but considering how rare phoenixes are and how common and plentiful floo powder is, I find that hard to believe. I just don't think phoenixes regenerate often enough to make them a viable ingredient for floo even if the company making floo powder had a phoenix on hand 24/7 (and there's no way they have access to more than one phoenix).

Portkeys

Portkeys are created via a charm:

Dumbledore was now rummaging in a cupboard behind Harry and Ron. He emerged from it carrying a blackened old kettle, which he placed carefully upon his desk. He raised his wand and murmured “Portus”; for a moment the kettle trembled, glowing with an odd blue light, then it quivered to a rest, as solidly black as ever. [...] “No,” said Dumbledore, “Floo powder is not safe at the moment, the Network is being watched. You will be taking a Portkey.” He indicated the old kettle lying innocently on his desk.

(OotP, 472, 474)

And while how their magic is described is more similar to an apparition, I believe they are similar in many ways, magically speaking.

With how I think the trace works, this would mean the making of a portkey could be traced, but the portkey itself, when and where it's used, and by who could not be traced. Because of the problems with tracking it, like all other magical transportation, it is illegal to make portkeys in the UK without registering them with the Portkey Office at the Department of Magical Transportation:

“Brooms,” said Lupin. “Only way. You’re too young to Apparate, they’ll be watching the Floo Network, and it’s more than our life’s worth to set up an unauthorized Portkey.”

(OotP, 51)

So, basically, you have a spell to make an item a portkey, this spell is likely similar to apparition in requiring a clear mind. The caster of this spell will determine the destination and trigger for the portkey to move.

We know a portkey could be triggered by:

Time (like the boot on the hill in GoF)

Contact (the Triwizard Cup in GoF)

Other (I'm calling it other since I'm uncertain what was the portkey trigger in book 5 when they went from Hogwarts to Grimmauld Place after Nagini attacked Arthur Weasley, but it wasn't one of the above)

I do believe it's the same spell to create all three different kinds of portkeys, with perhaps different suffixes. Like how "Avis" conjours birds and you need to add the "Oppugno" charm to make them attack.

Since Dumbledore does create an unregistered portkey in Hogwarts it appears that anyone powerful enough could make a portkey, registration is just a legal matter and not a magical one (like with Animagi). It also shows (again, like with the Triwizard Cup) that you can take a portkey out of Hogwarts and that the anti-apparition jinx doesn't affect it.

Portkeys can travel over larger distances than apparition, but I think that's not necessarily for the spell being very different. I think it's mostly that Portkeys are made with a different mindset. It's easier to focus on your desired destination when you're just enchanting an item in a calm and controlled environment. Additionaly you don't need to focus on your own movement and take yourself there like with apparition, making the focus and will required easier to achieve. Additionally, failing a portkey isn't as risky as failing an apparition, there is no danger of splicing yourself, just the spell not working or getting the destination a little off.

So, I don't think there is a big difference in the process of appariting and making a portkey, it's just, the latter is made ahead of time, and under less stress and therefore likely allows for longer, more complicated transportations.

They are though, the least traceable magical transportation, in theory, at least. I mean, you casting "portus" could and would still be traced and is illegal to do because of how untraceable portkeys are. So, yeah.

Newt Scamander x Fem Muggle Reader Chapter 15

Plot: two impactful conversations…

Note: To whoever actually enjoys my series, I’m so sorry for bringing this chapter so late :( i’ve been sick and have had writer’s block if anyone cares

Not even in your wildest nightmares you would have thought that your mother would be here in your home, sitting with you at the kitchen table right across from you.

Immediately after she told you that you had to marry the gang leader’s son, if not ,you both are going to die. You were exceedingly confused and agitated on knowing what was going on. So you did the most demented thing, telling her to come in and tell you the situation because you weren’t willing to die for something that your mother did that wasn’t your fault but hers.

Of course she was on the same boat on telling her to come in to know about the situation and now Queenie was sitting next to you at the kitchen table. Both of you are staring at your mother with bitterness.

“Talk!” you spoke with irritation

Your mother seemed so curious about your home and when she entered. She couldn’t help but examine all your home belongings with interest, she was astounded at all the items you owned. All these years she wondered about you and what you were doing with your life. She deeply regretted making your life like hell and now that she was here with you, she wanted to cry, knowing that you were living a comfortable peaceful life.

Your mother seemed very uncomfortable and agitated. She began avoiding eye contact and kept clearing her throat because she knew that with what she was going to tell you ,was not gonna be pretty

“Well… you see… a gang leader that I met a few months ago ,he lended me some money obviously with the deal being that I had to return the money in a few months which is to be this month and…”

Queenie abruptly interrupted and scoffed heatedly “Of course! the same old story, you are one of them that couldn’t pay them back and will be punished, typical “

You began to feel deep concern and obviously knew what was coming next since your mother already said it. Your pulse began to speed up and you let a gulp escape

“And to pay your debt he wants me to marry his son, if not they will murder us?”

Queenie gaped her eyes and linked the dots and both of you saw your mother’s expression, the expression of fear and hesitation because you were right

Queenie bursted and stood up from her chair aggressively as she slammed her hand on the table

“YOU WENCH! IS TO BLAME FOR ALL THIS! YOUR DAUGHTER ISN’T AN OBJECT THAT YOU CAN JUST PAY WITH! YOU LITTLE-“

Queenie was about to go and strangle your mother when you rapidly restrain her from completing that goal, but you were struggling as she was stubborn

“Queenie calm down! this isn’t the way to do this!”

“OH TRUST ME IT IS!”

Your mother squealed in fear and began trembling as she was holding up her hands for a way to protect herself

“No please! please! Don’t hurt me! I swear I didn’t even tell them that I had family or anything! I don’t know how they knew about you y/n”! I swear!”

Queenie abruptly stopped struggling and stared with bafflement as well as you. Wondering how a person could possibly know someone’s life when that someone hasn’t said anything.

You let go of Queenie and you gaze at your mother with a straight face

“Then how the heck! did they know about me!”

Queenie grabbed your arm and both of you exchanged looks

“Your mother is a liar, that’s why they knew, how else”

But your mother interrupted with a desperate expression on her face, pleading

“I’m not a liar! I swear I’m telling the truth! He said that you have a friend that has special creatures… creatures that mankind has never seen before…..” your mother uttered under her breath by the agitation

Both yours and Queenie’s eyes widened, flabbergasted and both thinking that the person with the special creatures was probably Newt, that the gang leader was talking about

“What Newt… but how?”

Queenie stared at you with hesitation “unless the gang leader is a wizard”

Your mother was totally lost on what Queenie meant by wizard and believe that she was crazy instead of her and laughed

“A Wizard! Hahaha good one! but even if he was a “wizard” how is that going to help us from escaping death”

You scornfully glared at your mother because you were tired of her problems that had nothing to do with you and here she was saying as if you were involved. That made your blood boil

“Well if you hadn't asked money from people that you know are murderers! this would have not happened!”

Queenie just spitefully scoffed as she crossed her arms “Well what do you expect from a weak person like her, who couldn’t get her life together after a man left her for another and instead drowned herself in alcohol, that’s what weak people do”

That had extremely ticked off your mother, so much that she began to clench her teeth, clenched her hands into fists and she had lunatic eyes. Ready to fight

“DON’T YOU FUCKEN DARE TO INSULT ME LIKE THAT YOU SLUT!”

Queenie was extremely enraged that her face became red so much that even steam could come out

“WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!!!”

Queenie and your mother were so quick that you couldn’t separate them and they began to pull each other's hair aggressively. You grabbed them and really struggled to separate them

“STOP BOTH OF YOU! BOTH OF YOU ARE ACTING LIKE CHILDREN!”

But they wouldn’t stop until something made them stop, you felt immensely dizzy and you quickly leaned on the kitchen counter to support your body from falling. Both of them instantly stopped and stared in concern, Queenie rapidly went to you and grabbed you for support while your mom stayed in shock

“Y/n are you okay!? What’s wrong?” asked Queenie

“No i’m fine, just felt a bit dizzy, it will suddenly go away”

“Come on let’s sit you on the chair”

Queenie supported you and helped you sit down on the chair slowly

Your mother had the desire to comfort you but she knew that you would push her away, but who could blame you after what she did. So instead she decided to ask

“Do you need anything? I can-“

But you didn’t want her help, all you wanted was her to disappear forever

“No, I'm fine! What we need to do is figure out what to do with your debt situation-“

Your mother abruptly interrupted “You have to marry him, there ain’t another choice-“

You got so furious that you were about to talk back when Queenie sneered from the disbelief of your mother’s mindset and cold heart, wanting you, her own daughter to marry a stranger

“That isn’t going to happen! we will find another way!”

But your mother kept insisting

“You have to marry him! We can’t go against such powerful beings, Anyways maybe you will fall in love with the guy, I saw that he is very handsome and rich, and I heard that you aren’t involved with anyone so-“

Queenie yelled back to defend you “Oh no she won’t! you wench!”

Your mother and Queenie were arguing back in forth, talking over each other and this was making you insane

You couldn’t handle your mom’s opinion any longer, she didn’t care about you at all, only herself and that made your heart ache. Aching from the lack of love from a mother, so you bursted

“I’M PREGNANT!”

The arguing stopped and your mother was absolutely appalled, she had her mouth wide opened while Queenie sighed because she knew that you didn’t want your mother to know but you didn’t have a choice

“Y/n…” Queenie said with concern while she rubbed your arm

Your mother stepped closer and furrowed her eyebrows with worry “Y/n… I-I… How did this happen? Where’s the father of your child? Does he know?”

You avoided eye contact and stared at the floor gloomy. You began to feel the knot in your throat as tears wanted to come out but you suppressed them as you didn’t want your mother to see you weak because all this time you had to survive without her

“He doesn’t know, and I’m not planning on telling him, he’s in love with another woman and it isn’t his fault, what happened between us was just a night stand and I just happened to get pregnant”

Queenie frowned and could sense your pain

Your mother felt dreadful for you, she can feel your pain and felt mournful that her own daughter(you) is going through the same thing as her. The man she loved left her for another woman that he loved

“Are you keeping this baby? Who is this man?”

You really didn’t have the strength to stand up but you forced yourself to and Queenie freaked out as she grabbed your shoulders to keep you from standing up

“No Y/n! You’re still weak, don’t force yourself!”

“Queenie i’m fine, Let me”

Queenie knew that she couldn’t stop you and just sighed as she took her hands off your arms

You stood up and stared at your mother with a straight face. “I am keeping this baby and I’m going to love him or her unconditionally …something you never did for me and no matter what I'm going to protect this baby with my life….even if I need to die”.

Silence filled the room as your mom was the one who wouldn’t speak because she didn’t know how to respond. Because she knew she had no right to say anything as she messed up everything.

You broke the silence “and to answer your other question, the father of my child is the same man with the special creatures”

Again a month has passed since Newt sent you a letter (without knowing that Tina switched it) and he became worried about why you haven’t answered him back. That whole month he was so desperately waiting for a letter back, so desperate to know how you were, so desperate in fact that he couldn’t concentrate on the mission for the whole month and Tina would scold him

All he thought of was you, his sweet y/n

so he decided to write to Jacob and ask about you, on why you weren’t writing back. Ask on what was happening

So again he was at the desk under the window where one could see the stars and moon. He had no hesitation and knowing what to write

Dear, Jacob

Hope you are well, we haven’t found anything remotely close to finding Grindlewald and if we don’t find anything in a week, we are coming back but the real reason i’m writing is because I am extremely worried for Y/n. It’s been a month since I sent her a letter and she hasn’t responded to me. Is there a reason why she hasn’t answered me back?, is she alright?. Even though I might be coming back in a week which is not so far away, I need to know if she’s okay. I’m desperately missing her letters. Sorry for bothering you

Sincerely, Newt

Newt stared at the letter and sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Feeling overwhelmed as he can’t help thinking that you might be in some kind of trouble or maybe that you had found a lover that isn’t him. He didn’t even want to think about that because his heart would ache. He just hoped you were okay

So tied the letter to his owl and off it went, going on a long journey to New York

But what he didn’t know was that that letter was not going to make it to Jacob as Grindlewald’s people will find their location by the owl and kidnap it…..

Newt stood up from the desk chair and grabbed his magical suitcase, placing it on the floor and opening it. He decided that he wanted to check on his creatures since it’s been a while that he has. Just when he was about to go inside, Tina came in the room as she stared at him

“You’re going to check on your creatures?”

“Yes…it’s been a while that i’ve have checked on them”

There was an awkward silence, ever since Tina found out about Newt’s feelings for you,and it has been very awkward between them and Newt felt extremely guilty but he couldn’t help but fall in love with you.

While Tina felt immense rage, she couldn’t be mad at him, she decided that she wanted to talk things through with him and hopefully fix things

Tina cleared her throat to break the awkward silence and Newt stared with curiosity as he stood up because he was kneeling (since he was about to get in the suitcase)

“Newt.. Can we please talk things through, I feel like last time we really didn’t get to say everything we wanted to say”

Newt nodded in agreement “Alright” but yet he wasn’t looking forward to this because he didn’t want to break Tina’s heart once more with what he was about to say. His heart began to beat rapidly from the agitation and couldn’t help not making eye contact

Tina took a deep breath and came a bit closer to Newt which made him tense up more. She was very nervous but tried to shrug it off

“Can you please tell me when you fell in love with her?”

This question really intrigued Newt, as he has never thought about it. One can think that he fell in love with you recently but what he didn’t know is that it started a long while ago and he hasn’t realized because he never thought about it consciously. Now that he was, he remembers the first time you and him had a very serious conversation about each other’s painful pasts.Understanding each other as He felt closer to you than anyone else and how you comforted him, then in the next moment you kissed his cheek.

His heart felt so warm as if a little flame had been lit in it, usually he hated physical contact with other people but for some unknown reason he loved your touch.

It was at the time where you were nursing him back to health and he was still with Tina. He didn’t really think much about that moment, he just believed that that's how it feels to have a girl best friend and thinking nothing of it.

The sudden realization hit him and he answered with no hesitation “the time when she nursed me”.

Tina gaped her eyes in complete shock and couldn’t accept what she had just heard. She felt destroyed from the emotional pain but suppressed her feelings as she didn’t want the same thing to happen like last time and wanted to continue the conversation.

She took in a shaky deep breathe and with that Newt felt concern

“Tina…”

Tina raised her hand motioning that it was okay “I’m fine.. I just need a moment”.

As she took in even more deep breaths she could finally talk again as Newt was now frowning and she looked at him with a straight face

“And what has she given you, that I haven’t given you?”

Tina desperately wanted to know how someone like you could win Newt’s love, heart and soul. How you could win when she was more beautiful, more talented and especially that she was a witch.

Newt stared right into Tina’s eyes and again without hesitation answered “ She has given me her soul”

To be continued….

[fandom-puff]

Newt Scamander helping you through your depression would include...

Requested by: anon

Warnings: symptoms of depression, low mood, hopelessness etc. I largely used my own experiences of my depression (sertraline gang), so it may not be the same for everyone, MAJOR WARNING: one very brief reference to self harm/cutting

And if you’re feeling low, suicidal, anxious, please please please DM me- I’m here to talk (though my replies may be slow!) and I can try and link you to mental health facilities online 💖💖

This is just what my depressed arse needs 🥺🥺

Gif creds to owner

You’ve been together long enough for him to notice a shift in your mood, even if it’s slight.

I’m not talking ‘there weren’t any muffins so you’re a bit sad because you were craving them’ mood

I’m talking ‘everything is pointless and futile and nothing in the world matters so what is the point’

It shatters his heart into a million pieces to see the light of his life go dull and silent, with hardly a shred of yourself left in the shell of your body.

There are times where he’ll go into his briefcase early in the morning to do the routine checks on his animals, and when he resurfaced at noon, you’re still in bed, staring blankly at the wall

A lot of the time he’s content to sit or lay with you, or rub your back when you cry

There are also times when you aren’t looking after yourself

“I’ve run you a hot bath, YN, and I’ve got your comfy clothes out for after,”

You nod and let him guide you in the bathroom, telling you he’s making you a strong cup of tea and something to get your energy up

And when you go through the drawers in search of a razor to tame your leg hair, your eyes well up with tears when you see that he has taken the razors out of the bathroom

You give him an extra big hug afterwards

Your mumble of ‘thank you’ let’s him know exactly what you’re talking about

Sometimes, on better days, you’ll have a bit more energy and join him in his case

You don’t do as much as you normally would (ie helping muck out enclosures etc), often just... walking.

Something about the sounds and smells of the menagerie relaxes you, loosening up tension you weren’t aware was building up

If you’re sitting down while newt’s working with the animals, he will place the cuddliest, or gentlest, Or most affectionate of that species in your arms

Granted, you start off with one, and quickly end up swamped by nifflers, all wanting a bit of attention

Picket likes to sit on your shoulder and nuzzle behind your ear, making little chirping noises that you can’t help but smile at

Overall, Newt is the perfect blend of affectionate and caring when you slip, as well as helping you through the harsh realities of mental illness when you cannot make yourself take care of your physical health too

I would like to thank the real OG'S Time leaper anon and Winky wink anon for the idea - Now Beauxbaton anon, i guess

askdjnaskjdnaldnsalkjn I REALLY DO HAVE THE BEST ANONS - i love all of you people so much i swear

Also this 5-part ask deserves it own post just because its already almost its own story - it will stay up here as a badge of honor - its a bit long to add to my received ask list, but its on the schedule i swear i'm on it boss

‎

this ask is based off A Friend in Me: Read Part 1 , as well as the other Harry Potter AU hcs and asks recevied right here.

p.s. former gang leader on schedule to release tomorrow!

Imma be honest with you man, I liked both of the anons ideas, I'm just going to mix them up. The darling is a student from beauxbatons that wanted to be a magizoologist when they grow up. Although she is a European mainlander witch, she dream to go to hogwarts since her idol, newt scamander go there previously, when the triwizard tournament is announced in her school, she wanted to go but can't since she is an underage witch even though she is in top of her grade (part 1)

She tried her best convincing her teachers and the beauxbatons equivalent of prefects to let her go there with the upper classmen, even doing extra work and over exerting herself to the point that her grades and marks can make her jump to the next two years of school without a hitch, but the staff still refuse and the prefect upperclassmen, although wanted her to go with them reluctantly rejected her since the teachers told them not to with an underlying threat (part 2)

frustrated, the darling ran away to a place where she usually study in secret, where she kept some things that aren't allowed in school. While she was moping there, she looked at an old trunk that she usually kept things and suddenly think of a plan. If she can't go there, she would just sneak in there, nobody would suspect a thing. When the student prepared to go to hogwarts, the darling snuck in by using an extendable bag, which she stuffed herself and her things into (part 3)

The bag is stuffed between the bags and the trunks of the uppermen student, when they arrive to hogwarts and the beauxbatons students grab their luggage, one of them accidentally dropped the bag into the hallway, although they didn't noticed it and just kept walking to where they came from, The darling waited for a long time and in panic, she gets herself out of the bag and noticed that it was midnight, she then wanders into the hallways in fear, regretting her decisions (part 4)

The darling walk aimlessly at the hallway, not only out of fear but due to the cold, Britain's weather is much different compared to the once in France after all. While walking for a long time, she started to get tired and sleepy and wanted to find an empty room to sleep. And lo and behold, she conveniently found one (room of requirement lol) She entered the room and looked for a place to sleep in, but she didn't noticed a group of student that saw her, can you guess who they are? (part 5)

i give u free reign to infodump ab all of the knights and the og army bc i am vv intrigued agjgssgsh

THERE IS SO MUCH HERE OMFG MORAL OF THIS STORY NEVER ASK ME TO INFO DUMP BECAUSE I WILL TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF IT—

I've separated it into sections:

The Knights of Walpurgis, and the motivations for their assigned sins.

Dumbledore's First Resistance, and the motivations for their assigned virtues.

The dynamics between the opposing contenders.

Given the sheer volume of information, I've included a cut. Please enjoy this manip that I am still very proud of.

THE KNIGHTS OF WALPURGIS (later known as Death Eaters) Tom Riddle (Pride)

Pride and arrogance were very large contributing factors to Tom Riddle's downfall in the end, and honestly, the whole idea for the gifset came from Florence + The Machines' Seven Devils playing while casually thinking of Dagrim and Tom, and then about how perfectly Tom would fit as Lucifer.

Dagrim Patil (Avarice)

When questioned about what she wants, and what Riddle promised her in exchange for her unwavering loyalty, her response is, quite simply: everything. Dagrim grew up starved not for affection, but recognition. And what she was denied in childhood, she would take in adulthood by force. Her philosophy is that if something is worth wanting, it is worth taking.

Cantankerous Nott IV (Lust)

We know so little about Theodore Nott's father from the source material, other than he was elderly, and he raised Theo himself. And that he was a Death Eater, of course. His name is an ode to his ancestor, the Cantankerous Nott who created the Sacred Twenty-Eight pureblood directory. I assigned him "lust" purely for the events leading to the conception of his son (sis, it gets messy).

Abraxas Malfoy (Envy)

Abraxas Malfoy envied Tom Riddle to the point of a half attempted mutiny. He was quickly put in his place, his co-conspirators made examples of, and spared only for his close friendship with Dagrim, who pleaded for his life. Riddle, who trusted Dagrim to a fault for all she'd done to earn it, conceded. Abraxas would later prove himself to Riddle again, regaining his seat among Riddle's favoured generals. He was the one who taught Lucius to never disobey the Dark Lord, and he was not a kind teacher.

Ulysses Mulciber (Gluttony)

Indulgence and excess, spoiled rotten and filthy rich. The Mulcibers were the richest of the Sacred at one point in their lives, rivalled only by the Malfoys. Ulysses never knew the meaning of "enough," and was a glutton not only in all manners of vice, but also for cruelty, dealing it out carelessly with little to no regard for the repercussions he was well protected from by his noble standing and wealth. He was one of Riddle's greatest allies and sponsors, and instrumental in his rise to power.

Carmilla Avery (Wrath)

Carmilla was in the year above Riddle, and was quick to anger and slow to calm. Her temper was legendary, and even her younger brothers – also admitted into the Death Eater ranks – feared her. She had an untempered fury, a rage at the world for no reason at all. She developed an unhealthy codependency with Abraxas Malfoy, who served to have a soothing presence over her. People seldom survive crossing her, as her reputation dictates.

Serafine Lestrange (Sloth)

Serafine is not lazy (as the sin "sloth" would suggest), she just lacks the motivations to pursue the goals that are expected of her. A particularly bright witch, and a wealthy one too, she never applied herself at school for she didn't see the need. Instead, she fell into a fascination of the Dark Arts, where she met Riddle, perusing the Restricted Section. She is rather discontented with life, disillusioned from already such a young age. She initially joins Riddle's gang for the excitement of it all.

DUMBLEDORE'S FIRST RESISTANCE (later known as the Order of the Phoenix in its official conception in 1970)

Albus Dumbledore (Patience)

Name a man more patient than Dumbledore, I'll wait. Better yet, he'll wait, because he's patient as hell. So patient, in fact, he waited until after Harry's supposed death to come to him as a hallucination and tell him about how he was a Horcrux.

Rathin Patil (Temperance)

Temperance is abstinence, and I wanted to explore the kind of toll having his sister so far gone into the dark would have on any man, let alone one who really cared for her and wanted to do right by her. Rathin is not a perfect man, he is still fallible, and unfortunately, he develops a dependent comfort in inebriation when Dagrim disappears with Riddle. He pulls himself back together, especially when he becomes Isaiah Moody's partner at the Ministry, and he begins to pursue Miraya.

Miraya Varma (Diligence)

Methodical and persistent, Miraya Varma earned herself a position at the Ministry immediately out of Hogwarts where she would later go on to form her own task force within the Ministry specifically designed for the interrogation and recommended sentencing of dark wizards and witches. She has been known to put her duty first, up until the birth of her son, Divyansh Patil, father to Padma and Parvati.

Isaiah Moody (Humility)

For a very long time, people seldom knew the Moody name, and that was the way Isaiah liked it. He believed that his line of work would endanger his loved ones (in spite of his wife being in the same profession) and so he never took credit for the numerous arrests he made. It was Isaiah who suspected something was strange about Morfin Gaunt's arrest while investigating the Riddle Massacre, and consulted Dumbledore about it. Once his identity was discovered and he was viewed as a threat by Riddle, an attack was made on his heavily pregnant wife, jeopardizing her and his unborn boy's (Alastor) life.

Minerva McGonagall (Chastity)

Mini Minnie is seventeen, my dudes. But not only that, Minerva grew up with a religious father (he was canonically a reverend), who probably taught her his values. Also given the fact that Minerva was the first of the younger generation to participate and involve herself in the war (she sought out Dumbledore and enlisted herself into his Resistance, fearing her family would be made into another statistic if she didn't at least do something to intervene), she really didn't have much time to think about something as arbitrary as the concept of virginity. Also, it's the 1950s.

Corinne Scamander (Kindness)

Corrine is honestly the greatest. She has all of the tenacity of Tina, and the best qualities of Newt. It was Dumbledore's previous bond with Newt that encouraged him to recruit her, and she willingly accepted, because of course she would. She'd always been the soft spoken girl with a tender touch and a love for life, and she was often the advocate for hope in the resistance. She was adept in a few healing charms she'd learned from her father, and was something of a specialist in magical beings, proving herself to be highly valuable while Riddle was expanding his ranks with all manner of dark creatures.

Declan Diggory (Charity)

Sacrifice is in the Diggory blood, and Cedric's grandfather, Declan, was not the first to prove it. He also, unfortunately, wasn't the last, but he sure was one of the best. Selfless to a fault, Declan would willingly get hypothermia if it meant someone else would have warmth. Diggory's contributions to the war effort consisted of offering sanctuary and shelter to muggleborns who received death threats, and orchestrating the evacuations of targeted muggle residences. He was the leader of a small faction of the resistance, including, but not limited to: Fleamont Potter, Enoch Longbottom, Wilhelm Shacklebolt, and Ramona McKinnon.

DYNAMICS (just the contenders for now because this is hella long)

Albus Dumbledore vs. Tom Riddle

Adversaries, a fair deal of mistrust and guilt from Dumbledore's side (upon reflection, he'd been the one to introduce Tom to the wizarding world; even though he knows that if Riddle had been left unchecked, the risk of him becoming an Obscurus would've resulted in catastrophe all the same). Riddle sees Dumbledore as nothing more than a foolish old man, a pest, and an obstacle to overcome at first, but learns to begrudgingly respect Dumbledore's strength and mastery of magic (after all, Riddle only knew him as the Transfiguration teacher before, and thought the accounts of Dumbledore's victory over Grindelwald had been exaggerated to great effect). Riddle's hubris was believing he could defeat Dumbledore on his own, thinking himself already stronger than Grindelwald ever hoped to be.

Rathin Patil vs. Dagrim Patil

Rathin had always been very protective of Dagrim, and loved her dearly, although his acts of affection were often misinterpreted as pity and condescension. This only served to push them further apart. When Dagrim turned to the Dark Arts and found solace in Riddle, it revolted Rathin, as he was hugely against the corruption the Dark Arts has on the performing witch or wizard, and wouldn't wish it on his worst enemy. He still very much loves her, and it hurts him to fight her. Dagrim, on the other hand, finds catharsis in duelling her brother, believing it to be justice for the way her parents treated her and the little he did to dissuade them.

Miraya Varma vs. Cantankerous Nott

A mutual respect and an academic rivalry, Cantankerous and Miraya were not friends by any means, but not enemies, either. Cantankerous even went as far as to warn Miraya of an impending attack, allowing her to evacuate the building. But although he knows she's clever, he also knows that she's incredibly stubborn, and displayed little surprise to find her awaiting him in the now vacant building. They are equally matched, and their unique relationship spans several decades, even into Cantankerous' failed run at Minister for Magic, and Theodore and the Patil twins' time at Hogwarts. She was present at his trial following the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, and watched as he was sentenced to life in Azkaban for his crimes as a Death Eater.

Isaiah Moody vs. Abraxas Malfoy

Given his profession, Isaiah has a lot of enemies on the Sacred Twenty-Eight who are loyal to the Dark Lord. One such enemy is Abraxas Malfoy. When Tom gets word of Moody's involvement in solving the Riddle Massacre, he sends Malfoy and a newer Death Eater, Evangeline Rosier, to hinder the investigation. Abraxas and Evangeline were responsible for the attack on Isaiah's heavily pregnant wife, who, if she hadn't been an Auror herself, would've never survived. Alastor Moody was prematurely born at St. Mungo's following the attack, and all of Isaiah's efforts were turned on exacting vengeance on those responsible. Malfoy went into hiding, but Isaiah, ruthless, managed to hunt down Rosier. She died under questioning, setting in motion a vicious cycle of vengeance between the Moodys and Rosiers. Once Isaiah had been killed by Evangeline's brother (Evan [who was named after her] Rosier's father), Abraxas deemed it safe to rejoin society.

Minerva McGonagall vs. Ulysses Mulciber

On the list of things Ulysses loathes, he would put half-bloods above muggleborns (although he turns a blind eye to his Dark Lord's blood status when it conveniences him). Half-bloods only serve as a reminder of the lowest and weakest of his kind; the unworthy muggleborns, the lecherous blood traitors, the vermin muggles. Mulciber prides himself as something of a "purifier," and finds great enjoyment in pruning family trees that have been poisoned by muggle blood into purity once more. He takes a great interest in Minerva McGonagall, given that she is an incredibly powerful witch at such a young age, and he wonders how glorious she would've been had she been a pureblood (a twisted and untrue belief among the Sacred Twenty-Eight during that time). Minerva, the threat of Mulciber weighing heavily on her, places her family under Dumbledore's protection. She vows to stop Mulciber and his perverse idea of justice.

Corinne Scamander vs. Carmilla Avery

It didn't take much to enrage Carmilla Avery, and Corinne had been caught in the tempest Carmilla's fury since the day they'd met. Carmilla, who took great pleasure in picking on people she deemed lesser, made a target out of Corinne, perceiving her kindness for weakness. During their time at Hogwarts, Corinne had gained the attention of Avery for being a blood traitor and a muggle sympathizer, which only strengthened Carmilla's vindication. Corinne, who had been friends with Rubeus Hagrid prior to his expulsion, and who had almost fallen prey to the basilisk when she had heard Myrtle Warren's cries from the bathroom, never lowered herself to Carmilla's level nor did she rise to any of the challenges. This hurt Avery's ego, as she thought this was Corinne's way of claiming herself better than her. It wasn't until after Hogwarts that Carmilla's growing resentment came to a head, and, without the protection the school offered Corinne, Carmilla was looking to finally put an end to the blood traitor line of Scamander.

Declan Diggory vs. Serafine Lestrange

Declan and Serafine were childhood friends who drifted apart during their time at Hogwarts, particularly when she fell in with Riddle's crowd. She is viewed by Dumbledore as having the power to sway the entire outcome of the war, for if Serafine could be persuaded into leaving Riddle, her cousins (one of whom is the father of Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange) would surely comply, and the families who held the Lestranges in high regard would be inclined to follow. This makes Declan and Serafine key pieces in Dumbledore's game of strategy. However, Serafine was disowned long before she defected from the Death Eaters, leaving the Lestranges firmly in Riddle's grasp. Although Serafine claimed to feel nothing for Diggory, she still refused to deal any real harm to him when they duel, in spite of having ample opportunity to do so; something which Riddle picked up on. She was later forced to torture Declan in front of him to prove her loyalty to the Dark Lord, something which Declan permitted her to do, knowing she had very little choice in the matter. He was left for dead, but Serafine would later secretly return with Corinne to get him medical attention. She gives her son, Francis, "Declan" as a middle name.

Theseus Scamander X Male Reader X Brother! Thomas Shelby

-

|| Masterlist ||

-

Summary: Reader is secretly dating Theseus Scamander a man that neither of his families or brothers know about so what happens when Thomas finds out that is little brother is seeing a man that is a little older than him? Let alone a wizard that is hiding from society? How will the reader explain to his family that Theseus is a wizard and how will he explain to Theseus that his family is a poplular gang known in both London and Birmingham?

Warnings: language, slight angst, some fluff, Theseus being a good boyfriend, Thomas being protective, some crossover between the peaky blinders and the wizarding world, newt being a cinnamon roll!

“Were have you been?”

Y/n gasps in surpise as he turns around to see is older brother, Thomas, sitting at the table with a cigar between his lips. It was was midnight and the room was dark, only one candle was lit and somehow it wasn’t enough light to see the rest of the room. “What?” Y/n stutters out nervously, Latelty he’s been sneaking out to see his boyfriend, who by the way lived in London and it was rare for him to visit due to his work keeping him busy.

“Y/n, its late and dark and dangerous, so—“ Thomas stands up from his chair and puts out his cigar in the ashtray that was nest to the candle. “Where were you?” He asks again, his tone being serious this time as he eyes y/n.

Y/n was consider as the baby of the family even though he wasn’t the youngest one, he was actually a few years older than Finn and somehow they still treated him like a baby and his family and brothers were very protective of him. They saw y/n as the innocent type since he wasn’t the one to into his brothers business or to be around whores. No, he wasn’t any of that becuase he was a gentlemen and kind to others, he never smoked or drank neither did he fancy women, he wouldn’t bat an eye at any of them. Something his brother didn’t know about yet.

“I was with a friend, they were visiting town and we decided to catch up by going to the bar.” He mumbles out, trying to lie his way through this one but he already knows that his brother can see right through him. Feeling Thomas’ eyes on him causing him to frown a little. “Who was this friend?” He questions as y/n glares at his older brother. “Why should I tell you? So, that you can look him up and scare him off just like you did to the rest of my friends that you’ve met?” He shot back with crossed arms.

He couldn’t allow his brother to know about his secret. “He can be dangerous.”

Y/n scoffs at Thomas and opens his mouth to say something back to him but quickly stops himself. “Wait...did you say ‘he’?” He questions as he noticed thomas’ lips pull up into a small smirk, causing his own eyes to widen in realization. “You’re not a good liar, y/n.”

“Where you spying on me?!” He hisses out in silence, not wanting to wake up the rest of his family as he clenched his hands into fists. “Not spying, I just happened to see you with a man, you looked rather happy leaving his palce.” Said Thomas as he approaches y/n. “So, tell me who was this man?”

Y/n looks away, he’s kept this secret hidden for two years and he always thought that he was going to make it a little longer but turns out that his time is up. Thomas now knows the truth and before he knows it he’ll be scaring him off too and he’ll end up alone again just how his brothers wanted.

Looking away from his older brother he gives in.

“His name is Theseus and we’ve known each other for two years and he was visiting today. We haven’t seen each other is days and he took the day off from work to come and see me...he’s a really nice guy but knowing you and the others you wouldn’t approve.” He mumbles out, glancing up to see Thomas’ face. He was expecting to see a hint of disappointment or disgust now that his secret was out but he wasn’t able to read his brother. He didn’t know what he was thinking and it was slowly freaking him out.

“Last name.”

Y/n lets out a sigh through his nose, looking down as he quietly answers. “Scamander.”

With that his older brother steps away and walks past him, heading towards the door and without saying anything else he leaves the flat. Hearing the door shut behind him causes him to break down. Knowing that this was officially the end of his relationship.

The next morning he was sitting at the dinning table, eating his aunt Polly’s breakfast as he silently stares out the window. His brother hasn’t returned yet and he was expecting him to come back with a smile on his face but instead he gets a grumpy set of brothers that walk through the door. Thomas slamming it closed as y/n looks over to see his brothers walk over to him, standing around the table as the towered over him. This causes y/n to shrink back in his seat as Polly stares at the others with a confused look.

“The man you were with last night, who was he?” Tommy asks as he stands over y/n with a harsh glare. “I—“

“Theseus Scamander, who is he?!” He shouts this time, causing y/n to flinch as he stares at his older brother and then over to the rest of them. He studies his brothers, taking them in one by one as he suddenly puts the puzzle pieces together, causing him to grin widely. “You didn’t find anything did you?” He challenges his brothers, knowing that it wasn’t making them any happier.

Y/n can only giggle at the realization, not only could his brothers not find out about Theseus but also becuase they don’t know that his boyfriend isnt really from around here.

“Y/n this is serious!” Her hears thomas say but continued laughing.

“What’s going on here?” Said Polly as she steps up to glare at the boys who only gave her a simple glance. Thomas was the first to start explaining their small situation. “Little y/n, here has been seeing someone—“

“A women?”

“No, a man.” Said Thomas. “A man that we can’t figure out, we’ve tried looking into his files but nothing came up and I even sent out my men to search for someone that went by the name Theseus Scamander and we came back with nothing.” He hisses out as Polly takes in the information and frowns. “Thomas this is your brother, you should know that he too can be a good liar.”

This causes y/n to cough. “Actually Polly, I didn’t lie. I told Thomas who he was and his real name, what’s funny is that he can’t seem to find him anywhere.” He slowly stands up from his seat and collects his plates. “And you’ll never find out who he is.” He says the last part darkly as he puts his dirty dishes away and heads up the stairs towards his room, ignoring his brothers calls as he slams his door shut behind him.

He leans back against the door and lets out a deep sigh before pushing himself off, heading towards the window he slides it open and sticks his house out. “Lucy.” He whispers out as he looks around the roof top and grumbles. “Lucy!” He calls out again and gets a hoot in response, causing him to look up to see the white owl standing at the edge of the roof top. Y/n chuckles and extends his arm out, causing the owl to fly down and land softly on his arm as y/n moves back inside the room. “I have a letter for you to send to Theseus.” He sets the owl at his desk and pulls out an envelope.

Good thing he was able to write this letter last night, explaining everything about his family and brothers. Theseus knew that he was a muggle and promised to keep his secret about him being a wizard, he told him a bit about his family but he feels like he hasn’t exactly told him everything so, last night he took his time to write down a huge explanation about his family and he hopes that he doesn’t loose Theseus over this but yet again his family is a gang and they are known for their name.

“Here,” he hands the sealed up letter to Lucy who chirps in return to takes the letter. He helps carry her back outside as he sighs, “be safe.” He adds before watching Lucy fly off into the air. He leans against his window seal as he watches Lucy grow smaller each time to got farther away. “Now, we wait.” He tells himself as he closes the window and curtains. Instead of going back downstairs to face his family he decides to stay locked indoors, not really in the mood to see anyone right now. So, instead he lies in bed and waits for Theseus to respond back.

“Thee, you got another letter.”

Theseus looks up to see his little brother standing by the doorway of his office, holding a letter in hand as he approaches slowly. “Who’s it from?” He asks as Newt sets it down on his desk where Theseus picks it up and checks to see who it is from, Turing it around he sees the name written in nice hand writing and in cursive.

Y/n Shelby

“Its from y/n.” Said thesues with a small smile on his face.

“Must be important, y/n doesn’t usually write.” Newt said, causing worry to hit Theseus. His brother was right, y/n rarely wrote and seeing a letter come in today after seeing each other just yesterday could mean anything.

He gives newt a glance and opens up the envelope, pulling out the letter as he unfolds it and leans back in his seat, reading it silently as newt sits by the fire, drinking some tea with Pickett standing on the table, trying to steal some biscuits from his plate but of course Newt wasn’t allow that.

Theseus on the other hand was reading his lovers letter;

Dear, Thesues

You’re probably asking yourself as too why I am writing since I rarely send you anything, only during urgent times like that last time when our anniversary hit and I sent you a last minute gift by owl. I was actually a little worried, how can such a small creature carry something so big without dropping it? But, of course you always tell me that it involves magic so I let it be and just continued on with sending you stuff, but made sure that they were small items. But anyways, your probably wondering what this letter is for, well you see...I’ve told you about my brothers and how overprotective they can be and last night while you were visiting my older Thomas saw us leaving the hotel last night and he wasn’t too happy about it.

I’m not saying that he doesn’t accepts us—to be honest I don’t even know if he approves or not but he spent all night looking through government files about your family and turns out that he didn’t find anything due to you living someplace else with your own magically government and I was actually happy that he didn’t find more about you but I can’t help but be worried for us.

Theseus, you’ve told me about your family and your world and I feel like I should tell you who my family really is and you see, my family are the Shelbys, we are known as London’s most dangerous people and my family deals with alcohol and horse racing. I’m not really involved with it since I wish to have a normal life but knowing my brothers they won’t allow me to be happy, too afraid that something bad will happen to me. If you’ll like you can try to look my family up and I promise you that you won’ t find anything good about them and I understand if you want to stop seeing each other, I don’t want to expose your world to mine and ill allow you erase my memories so that you can feel safer.

I didn’t want to keep any secrets anymore but now I’m afraid of losing you, but I understand that your wizarding community comes first. Their safety comes first and I dont want to be the one to expose your world. So please, think about what your going to say so that I can be prepared for what’s to come.

Love, Y/n Shelby

Theseus sets the letter down, leaning back in his chair as he takes in the information that y/n had given him. “Thee?” He looks over to see his brother standing next to him with a small smile. “I know its none of my business but, I think you should write back to him...he’s a good man and a good friend.” He said softly as Theseus looks away. He and y/n have been together for two years and they always told each other everything so he knew why y/n would fear his family, afraid of them finding out about him being a wizard, being a powerful human being that can do anything.

Knowing more about y/n’s family did upset him but he loved him with all his heart, for the first time in his life he was actually happy. He’s always wanted to come back home with y/n waiting for him so that the two could kiss and share the same bed. He knows that the ministry can be busy but he always makes time for his loved ones. So, no matter how bad y/n’s family is he isn’t going to let this destroy his happiness.

“You’re right, newt.”

“I am?” He says a little baffled as Theseus chuckles at his brother.

He sits up and grabs some parchment and a quill. “For once you are newt,” he leans forward to starts writing his response.

“Is he nice?”

“Yes.”

“...how old is he?”

Y/n rolls his eyes in annoyance as he sets the paper down. “Aunt Polly I’ve told you before, I’m not saying anything else that’ll only upset you more.” He states out. Its been two weeks since he’s sent Theseus that letter and so far he thinks that their relationship has ended, jus the Thomas wanted all along. “Besides, Thomas scared him off so their is nothing to know about him.” He pushes himself off the couch and makes his way towards his aunts kitchen. He’s been staying with her for the last couple of days, not wanting to face his brothers until he apologizes for what he did but he doubts that his brother would apologize.

“I just want to know who this man was that you were seeing for the last two years.” Said Polly as she sits on the dinning table, giving him a small grin as she says. “I want to know the man that made my nephew happy.” Y/n silently makes himself a cup of tea, avoiding his aunts stare as he bites his lip. “He was a perfect man and a kind lover.”

“Oh.”

He blushes. “He’s also a hard worker, its only him and his brother Newt; his father died in the war and his mother died from an illness leaving the two on their own...he’s the oldest so he watches over his little brother—kind of like thomas.” He shrugs a bit as he sets some water to heat up. “He’s different, he’s not like the other men that I’ve met before; he doesn’t think with his cock.” This causes his aunt to laugh out, bringing a small smile. “Theseus was just—perfect.” His smile soon disappears into a sad one. “And now its all gone, thanks to Thomas.” He turns back to the boiling water, removing it from the stove and pouring some into his teacup.

His aunt watches him as she leans back in her chair. “thomas can be a little overprotective.”

“A little?”

“Alright, a lot! But, y/n you are the baby in the family.”

“Funny how I am the baby when I am ten years older than Finn.” He responds back with a frown on his face.

“What I’m trying to say is; you’re different from everyone else. You don’t go around causing trouble and you wish to be normal, darling you don’t even drink nor smoke I’d say, your barely a Shelby at all.” She explains as he sits across from her. “Thomas doesn’t want you going down the same path as him or the rest of your brothers, which is why he wants to protect you.” Y/n sighs at Polly, listening to her explanation as he stares down at the tea.

“Well you should all know that I’m not a baby anymore, I can take care of myself and I don’t need you all to be spying on me! What I am doing shouldn’t concern you if you know that I’m not like my brothers then maybe you should stop looking out for me...I mean, focus on what is happening with our deals and relationships with other gangs. For all we know, tommy could be getting shot at without us knowin and yet you all worry about me.” He huffs, taking a large drink of his tea. Burning his tongue a little as he cringes in pain.

Polly frowns. “We do this becuase we love you, y/n and we want you to be happy but also we want to make sure that you don’t get hurt while you are alone! Your brothers almost got killed by Solomons last night!” She blurts out as y/n looks away. “If you want me to be safe than let me go.” He says, causing his aunt to gap at him in shock. “Ada has tried to live normal and that didn’t work but I have a chance to be normal if you let me go.”

Polly sighs as she reaches over to takes one of his hands into hers, holding it tight as she slowly nods. “I think you should leave too...if that makes you happy than go.” She gives him a reassuring smile as y/n smiles back. “I’ll help you, we can get you a ticket to London and I’ll make sure to give you some money.”

“I won’t be needing money where I want to go.” He adds in as his aunt raises a brow, causing him chuckle. “Trust me, I know where I want to go.”

Before his aunt could say anything they are cut off by a small tapping on the window. This causes y/n to look over and see Lucy perched upon at the window with a letter in her beak.

“Lucy.” He breaths out, quickly he stumbles out of his chair and heads towards the window. Pushing the window open he allows Lucy in who flies in and finds a cozy spot next to the fire place.

“What the bloody hell is that thing doing here?” He hears Polly say but he ignores her and takes the letter from Lucy who only squeaks in return.

He stares at the envelope, seeing the Scamander heirloom on the front and seeing his name on the back.

Nervously he rips open the envelope and pulls out the letter. Too afraid to see what he says he looks over to his aunt, not knowing what to say.

“This lover of yours must be rich if he can have an owl sending you letters.”

He chuckles at his aunts statement before looking back down the folded up letter. Taking his time he unfolds the letter and reads the black ink writing.

I want to meet your family

Y/n’s eyes widen, “what is it?” Polly asks as he licks his lips. “He—he wants to meet you all.”

“Brave man.”

Y/n nods in return as he looks back at the letter and looks below to see extra writing.

I’ll be Visiting on Thursday, meet at the same spot as usual and don’t be late.

“Thursday, Thursday—“ y/n looks around frantically and picks up the newspaper that he was reading this morning.

Checking the date his eyes widen as it read; October 7th, 1927

He looks over at the calendar to see that the 7th was in fact a Thursday, which meant that Theseus will be arriving today.

Pacing around anxiously by the tunnels he starts to think about what was going to happen today. His aunt had called in everyone for a family meeting and explained to them that Theseus was going to visiting, wanting to meet his family.

Y/n was actually afraid about this, he didn’t know if this was actually a good idea at all and he knows it!

“Y/n.”

He froze in spot and looks up to see Theseus standing at the end of the tunnel.

“Theseus...” he breaths out as he slowly steps forward.

Theseus was making his way towards him as he frantically tried to explain. “I’m sorry thee, I didn’t expect my brother to find out and I know your upset because I lied to you and I just—“ he is cut off by Theseus cupping his face and pulling him into a deep kiss.

Y/n gasps as he stands still, not knowing what to do as Theseus pulls away softly and leans his forehead against his. “I’m not upset or angry I’m just—“ he sighs deeply. “I’m actually nervous.”

Y/n rasies his brows in surprise. “Really?”

“Yes, really.” He says back as the two chuckle at each other.

“All my life I’ve been looking for someone who’d love me for who I am, I don’t care if your a muggle and your family are all gangsters. All I want is to spend the rest of my life with you, I want to come home everyday to you and be able to sleep on the same bed.” He strokes y/n cheek with his thumb as he smirks. “So, once this is over we are leaving to London and I want to get married.”

Y/n eyes widen. “M—married? Theseus that isn’t allowed here.”

“No, it’s not. But where I’m from it’s legal, a muggle and a wizard can get married as long as your society doesn’t know then will be fine.” He explains, looking down at y/n to see him smiling with tears in his eyes. “Then let’s get married.” He whispers back, leaning up to give Theseus a kiss.

“This is him?” Arthur points at Theseus, scoffing as he looks at him up and down. “Scamander, funny name ain’t it?”

“Arthur.” Both y/n and Polly say at the same time which comes to shock the brothers.

Arthur can only grumble as he stares at the others with a disapproving look, Arthur was always disapproving of everything.

The rest of the brothers stayed silent, until Finn was the first to step up. He walks over to Theseus and extends his hand out to shake, “I’m Finn, the baby of the family but they don’t really treat me as one since y/n took that spotlight from me.” Y/n shakes his head and chuckles.

Theseus gives Finn a smile and shakes his hand. “Theseus, your brother doesn’t talk much about me for reasons but he does speak highly about you.”

“Really?” Finn grins at y/n who rolls his eyes. “Alright, we get if your the best brother.” He murmurs out as Finn giggles and lets go of Theseus hand.

John was up next, introducing himself as well as the two shake hands. “Names John, I used to share beds with y/n each time he had a nightmare but from the looks of it you seemed to have stolen my job.” He smirks at the two as y/n blushes deeply. “John!”

Theseus laughs. “To be honest we haven’t shared a bed together, I’ve been busy working in London that we only have enough time to have dinner together.” He explains, this shocks the brothers a little bit.

They know that y/n doesn’t ‘sleep’ around with anyone but they all expected him to be sleeping with Theseus by now since they’ve been together for two years, but once this information came out. Now they know that their brother must be really innocent!

Ada is the third one to greet Theseus, instead of shaking his hand she immediately hugs him, catching Theseus by surprise but of course he hugs back. Y/n grins and leans close, “He’s a hugger.”

“I can tell.” Ada laughs out as she pulls away and gives him a small pat on the shoulder. “I might say; you’ve got a handsome one, you said he has a brother right?” She teases out.

Theseus smiles. “Yes, Newt but unfortunately my brother is actually engaged.” Ada pouts, “Well it was worth a try, he must be a very handsome man as well, maybe a gentleman too.”

“Oh believe me, he’s something.” Both y/n and Theseus say.

They continued on with meeting everyone properly. Theseus seems to get along more with his aunt Polly and Ada, he tries to speaks to his brothers and of course arthur is still not amused but he too tries to get to know Theseus.

So far, everyone is happy to know who his mysterious man was. All but Thomas, he’s been sitting by the corner watching Theseus carefully.

Tommy was going to be the hardest to get aporoval from since he was seen as the higher upper. Whatever choice Tommy made was the choice that everyone had to either agree or disagree too.

“Tommy.”

Y/n calls out for his brother who’s gaze slowly turns to him. He was nervous and fidgety, “I know you hate the idea of me being with a man but, can you at least talk to him or get to know him?” He pleads out.

“It’s not the idea of you dating men, what bothers me is that your growing too fast.” This catches y/n off guard.

“Tommy I’m not a child anymore, I’m twenty eight and I know how to take care of myself. Theseus has done nothing to make me feel uncomfortable and he’s patient too.” He sits next to his brother, looking over to Theseus as he bites his lip nervously.

“Theseus proposed to me.”

Thomas’ eyes widen.

“I’ll be leaving tonight to live with him.”

“Y/n—“

“Before you say anything, hear me out!” Y/n turns to face his brother properly. “I know what you and the others think about me and I know that you want me to have a normal life and far away from all this and that is what I’m doing. I’m leaving to London Tommy, to a place where no one knows me—a place to restart, so I need you to let me go.” He explains to his brother. “I promise to visit whenever I can, Theseus isn’t someone who’ll keep me locked up. He knows his precious my family is to me and he won’t ever do something to keep me from seeing you all.”

Thomas Can tell that his brother was being serious about this, about leaving and starting a new life. He’s always watched over him, watching him grow throughout the years only to see him leave.

He looks over to Theseus who was speaking to their aunt and brothers, getting along just fine before turning back to y/n, giving him one of his rare smiles. “Go, go and get married and live a normal happy life.”

Y/n smiles widely and leans over to hug Thomas who also hugs back. “Thank you.” Said y/n as he pulls away from his older brother.

Thomas chuckles and stands up. “Right then, let go meet your fiancé and see if he fits too my satisfaction.” Y/n laughs, “I think you’ll like thee very much, he reminds me a bit of you.” He adds before watching his brother head over to Theseus. Giving him a proper greeting as y/n leans back against the wall with a smile on his face.

This was his family and home but it was time to move on and to restart once again.

Once Upon A Time...

A/N: Hi! I know I haven’t uploaded anything in a long while, BUT I’ve kept myself busy with writing. I know I had requests I haven’t uploaded yet, and that’s because I’m working on it. Recently, I started watching the Fantastic Beast film series and fell head over heels in love with Theseus Scamander. So, here’s a little mini-series.

As usual, all my Y/N’s are black. Period. If you want a white Y/N, refer to the other gazillion fanfics that fail to be inclusive to black women :) with that out the way, enjoy!

Word Count: 1.5k

Warnings: None, just heartbreak :(

Once upon a time, it was Y/N Y/L/N and Theseus Scamander against the world. Having spent nearly their entire life together, nearly everyone expected them to end up together. Hell, even they expected to end up together. And, they almost did. Y/N loved him more than she loved life itself. Theseus did not.

Once upon a time, Y/N was prepared to spend the rest of her life with Theseus. But their fairytale romance didn’t end in a happily ever after.

The small gang had run out of places to hide. Wherever they want, Grindelwald’s supporters seemed to find – and try to kill – them. They had exhausted every hiding spot in the entire continent of Europe, it seemed.

“We can’t just keep running.” Tina fumed after nearly escaping yet another attack. They trudged through the alleys of London. Try as they might, it was hard to stay inconspicuous with such a large group. If it were just Newt, Tina, and Jacob running it’d be easier – but, their ranks had been joined by Yusuf Kama, Nagini, and Theseus Scamander.

“We have to leave Europe. We can’t keep hiding out like animals.” Yusuf said.

“We could always go back to New York?” Jacob halfheartedly suggested. After losing Queenie, everything Jacob did was halfhearted. It was as if Queenie took his very essence with her when she left.

“No, New York would be too obvious. They know who we are, so they must know where we live.” Tina interjected, just as halfheartedly. She had lost her sister to an evil she couldn’t find. All she could do was run; run away from her sister.

Newt noticed her sadness and took her hand in his, offering her a small smile. Theseus watched his little brother and Tina hold hands, which only reminded him of what he had lost: Leta Lestrange.

Theseus’ bitter thoughts were interrupted by his brother. “New York may be too obvious but going to America isn’t such a bad idea…” Newt’s voice trailed off and he tentatively glanced at his older brother, who was lost in his own world.

“Theseus…” Newt softly said. He let go of Tina’s petite hand and walked over to his brother, putting a soft hand on his broad shoulders.

“What?” Theseus saw everyone now looking at him, and he wondered if he missed something important when he was lost in his own head. “Did I miss something?”

Newt took a deep breath. He knew this wasn’t going to end well. “I know a place we can hideout. In America. But you’re not going to like it…”

The day was September 18th, 1927.

The crisp autumn brisk bristled past Y/N as she swiftly walked through a nearly empty park. It was nearly 8AM and, though nearly everyone else in Washington DC was asleep, Y/N Y/L/N had made a point of waking up at 5 in the morning for the sole purpose of getting fresh baked goods from Maryland.

See, her favorite bakery was nearly an hour-long drive from her home and the goods always ran out fast. It had taken her weeks to devise a working and precise plan, but she had finally done it. Now, it was just this eerie park that separated where she parked her car and her apartment that delayed her breakfast.

“If the bread gets cold… after all my hard work… so help me Merlin…” she huffed, hastening her paste. Finally, she found herself in front of her apartment – a stout yet charming brown shoe-box shaped building that was snuggled between what seemed like a billion other buildings that fit the same description. Lucky for her, Y/N lived on the ground floor and only had to climb the front steps and insert her key.

“Home sweet home.” She thought to herself, setting the bag of baked goods on a nearby table. She shrugged off her light coat, lamenting if the food was worth not sleeping in. Lord knows when she may get another opportunity; with the rise of Grindelwald, her work at the ministry had nearly quadrupled.

But it kept her busy. It distracted her from everything ailing her life; how war was imminent, worrying for her family’s safety, worrying for her own safety, worrying for…him.

As much as it pained her, she kept close tabs on him. Whenever a European Auror turned up dead because of Grindelwald or one of his followers, she prayed it wasn’t him. Y/N had never been a religious person; she believed in magic, but that was it. To this day, it still puzzled her how the man who had completely crushed her heart made her believe in the unbelievable.

She shook her head. “Stop thinking about him.” She muttered to herself, taking a deep breath. “Lord knows he’s not thinking about you. Lord knows he was never thinking about you…” She tossed her coat onto the couch, making a mental note to put it away later.

For now, she needed the only thing that would drive him out of her mind: food. Through her heartbreak and depression, there was only one constant in her mind. The one thing that drove her out of bed nearly every day. The one thing that didn’t attempt to get her to “talk about it” or “put herself out there.” The one thing that she loved more than…

“Theseus!”

Lo and behold, standing right there in her petite kitchen was Theseus Scamander. The man who had obliviated her heart.

She nearly fell back in shock, never expecting to see his face again. After all these years… he still looked the same. His eyes were still dark with slight speckles on gold. His auburn hair still had those unruly curls that he hated and often unsuccessfully tried to gel back, but Y/N always loved. Most of her favorite memories with him included him cuddling up to her while she played with his hair.

She narrowed her eyes and peered closer at him, taking in everything that had changed. Yes, he had certainly aged, but he looked thoroughly exhausted. He had bags under his eyes, and small vanishing wounds riddled his body. He looked tired. Defeated. She had never seen that look in him.

He looked like she did when he left her. Heartbroken.

“So sorry to intrude like this, Y/N” his brother, Newt, interjected. Y/N only then realized that there were other people present.

“What the hell is going on?”

Newt provided a quick summarization of what the group had gone through the past couple of days: the fight during Grindelwald’s assembly, Queenie’s betrayal, Credence switching sides, and Leta’s death. At that last comment, Y/N’s eyes instinctively darted to Theseus, who kept his trained on the ground. As a matter of what, he was trying desperately hard to avoid eye contact.

“We wouldn’t be here if we weren’t desperate, Y/N.” Newt said. The Scamander’s and Y/N had a long and complicated history, and Newt hated having to impose this on his old friend. He didn’t like the idea of involving her in an already volatile situation.

Y/N, on the other hand, wouldn’t hear a word otherwise. “Of course, you’re all welcome to stay. I wish you’d come earlier and save yourselves the trouble of running around London seeking refuge.”

Newt gratefully nodded, taking Tina’s hand in his. “Don’t worry, I still remember my way around your flat.” At that, he and his... girlfriend(?) apparated away – probably to another room to get some privacy.

Now Y/N was left alone with a group of people she didn’t know. Well, she knew Theseus – once upon a time – but not as well as she thought she did, obviously.

“Alright, then. Are any of you hurt? Hungry? I’ve got baked goods from the best place in the country.” Y/N pushed further into the kitchen, clutching her bag of baked goods with her. Brushing past Theseus, she caught a sniff of the most comforting and familiar smell she knew. In fact, it was the exact same smell of her Amortentia potion. “I’ve got about a dozen bagels and some doughnuts. Oh, and cookies too. You might be wondering why I have so much food, after all, I’m just one person. And that’s a very funny question…” Y/N blabbered away. As if talking would fill the awkward space.

Because if she fell silent, she’d have to become more aware of her surroundings. That would mean looking at Theseus. Maybe even talking to him. And it would, ultimately, lead to her reliving every wonderfully painful memory she ever shared with him.

“Y/N…? Now, where have I heard that name before?” Jacob asked.

“Maybe from Newt? We went to Hogwarts together for about three years, after all.”

“Only three? Isn’t wizarding school for seven years, or something like that?”

“Yes, but I started school at Uagadou. It’s the wizarding school in Africa – I’m from Senegal, by the way, don’t let the English accent fool you- but then I transferred to Hogwarts in my fourth year…” Y/N trailed off, not fully wanting to finish the story as it didn’t paint her in the best light.

“…After she transfigured into a panther and attacked a kid for teasing her brothers.” Theseus finished. Y/N’s head snapped up, sending her Y/H/C locks flying in disarray, and stared at him. He was still tentatively looking at the ground, but his face held a knowing smile. “And then just a year after starting at Hogwarts, she did the exact same thing to another student.” He slowly raised his head. With his eyes partially hidden behind his disheveled auburn curls, it seemed as if he was staring into her naked soul.

“Magnolia Harper,” Y/N recalled, “She bloody deserved it too.”

“And what exactly did the poor girl do to warrant an animal attack?” Nagini whispered, her head cocked to the side in curiosity.

Y/N could feel the temperature in her cheeks rising by the second. At that times like this, she was glad her melanin complexion made it difficult for anyone tell she was blushing. The entire story was bloody embarrassing, especially given the situation everything was in right now. She chewed on the bottom of her lip, trying to piece together exactly how to phrase her answer.

Luckily, Theseus came to the rescue. “There was a rumor that she was planning on asking me to the Yule Ball and Y/N got insanely jealous. Pounced on her during Dumbledore’s practice dueling sessions and nearly clawed her entire face off.”

“Oh, so you two were an item. How sweet, young love.” Nagini mulled, smiling at the two. Yusuf stood beside her, solemnly nodding his head.

The pair looked down, the nostalgic smiles slipping from their faces. All the dissipating anger Y/N harbored suddenly came bubbling to the surface, remembering Theseus’ betrayal like a fresh wound. Theseus, on the other hand, felt the guilt and grief wash over him like a Tsunami.

“Not exactly. It turns out I was worried about the wrong girl…”

Well This Was Unexpected

Pairing: Thomas Shelby x witch!reader 

Warnings: Swearing, sexual references, presmut, magic, fluffity fluff fluff fluff

Note: I couldn’t help myself. Hope you enjoy this Fantastic Beasts and Peaky Blinders crossover (FBAWTFT takes place in 1920- so that’s literally perfect :o) Also this is my first attempt at any form of smut, so please be nice 😅 

ALSO TOMMY IS KIND OF OOC IN THIS, I DUNNO I JUST WROTE WHAT CAME TO MIND

masterlist | Peaky Blinders Masterlist

“Mr. Shelby, if you’d just listen to my proposition!” This was annoying. The fifth man to offer his daughter’s hand in marriage to the gang leader. What was it going to take for them to understand that he didn’t want to marry their spawns? Would it take him snapping and yelling at them in front of everyone?

“Sir. I’ve told you and many others, I do not wish to marry a girl I have yet to meet or even see. I don’t wish to marry anyone, for I have someone I’m seeing already. Please leave before I have someone escort you out.” The man refused to leave. He was more persistent than the other men if Tommy was being honest. “Would you please just...”

A young woman knocked on the office door, peaking her head in a bit. She smiled sweetly at Tommy and went back to siting outside his office.

“Would you please just go?”

The man scoffed, stuttering over his words causing Tommy to roll his eyes. He grabbed his briefcase and stomped over to the door, making a rude face at the girl. She brushed it off and walked in, taking off her heels and sitting on Tommy’s lap. The girl brushed some of his hair out of his face, smiling once again.

“Y/n, my love?”

“Yes Tommy?”

Tommy tilted his head. He rubbed Y/n’s thigh, smiling softly and nuzzling his face into her neck. “I love you, did you know that?”

She giggled. The sweet sound filling the quiet room. Y/n lifted her lover’s head and leaned down, pressing her lips to Tommy’s. Their lips fit together perfectly, moving in a dance that they had mastered. Almost like their first.

Y/n had met Tommy two years ago, when he came back from war. She didn’t quite join his organization, but she did invite him to her bed. Tommy eventually let his guard down around her, asking her if she wanted to be his. The two were inseparable. However, all of these men trying to offer up their daughter’s hands to Tommy was making him frustrated and stressed.

Cue his wonderful Y/n, always making sure that after a long day of work, he was well rested. He didn’t know what she did for a living because he wasn’t allowed to know according to her. She told him that if he knew, he would be in a lot of danger. Tommy always chuckled and reminded her that he was the leader of a gang, always in danger. But he could never forget the look on her face when she told him it would be a different kind of danger.

What could be more dangerous than running and/or being involved in the Peaky Blinders? Well the secret Y/n was keeping from Tommy was the world she was born into. Witches and Wizards, goblins and trolls, dragons and mermaids, you name it. She worked with her best friend, Newt Scamander. Newt had already had his life threatened thanks to the work he did; Queenie, Tina and Jacob being hunted down just for being involved with him, so who’s to say Tommy wouldn’t be the same.

Plus, he’s a muggle. The wizarding world banned human-muggle relations, so that would add to the danger. Could she tell him? Would he hate her? Would he run? Would he think she’d gone bonkers?

It didn’t matter right now. All that mattered was her lips on his. She moved and grinded herself down onto his forming budge, moaning into his mouth. Tommy grabbed her hips, grinding her down rougher in response. Not even bothering to try and unbutton it, he ripped off Y/n’s dress and grabbed her breasts, squeezing them with one hand and holding Y/n’s left hip with the other.

She stopped kissing him and fumbled with his belt. Tommy chuckled when he had to help her unbuckle it, sliding his pants down. There was a silent pause as the two drank each other in before Y/n was pushed against Tommy’s desk. He pulled her undergarments down and pounded into her.

. . .

“Mr. Shelby? Y/n?” The door opened. “Oh my word!”

Y/n and Tommy were rushing to get their clothes back on, and Newt had walked in to the sight of Y/n buttoning Thomas’ shirt with her dress hanging around her waist. The top half hadn’t been pulled up yet. Luckily, Newt was quick to cover his eyes.

“Newtie. Can you please pretend you didn’t see anything?” Y/n pulled his hands from his face, now decent.

“Um.. sure. I was going to fetch you for the-” Newt turned to Tommy. He forgot Y/n was seeing a no-maj. “The study. Tina, Queenie and Jacob are waiting for us.”

“Alright. I’ll be there in a second, thank you Newt.” Y/n walked over to Tommy, standing on her tippy toes to press a kiss against his lips. Tommy grabbed her waist, deepening said kiss.

Newt knew it was Tommy’s way of showing that Y/n was his, but it did make him rather uncomfortable. His idea was confirmed when Tommy’s eyes opened and held eye contact with Newt’s. The possessiveness was something Y/n found adorable, and Queenie swooned over the couple. Y/n told stories of her muggle lover to the people she worked with (meaning Queenie, Jacob, Tina and Newt), including the ones where he’d get really protective and jealous.

Finally, Y/n pulled away for air, giggling after Tommy pulled her in for one last quick kiss.

“I love you Tommy, I’ll be back after this matter is solved, promise.”

“Okay darling. I’ll hold you to that promise.” He winked before leaning against his desk and watching her leave. After he was sure she was out of the building, he called his John and Arthur up to the office. “Come with me.”

“Where are we going Tommy?”

“Following Y/n and her friend.”

Arthur gave Tommy a weird look. “Your lover and her boss? You aren’t jealous are you?”

Silence creeped into the room. Tommy looked down at his papers on his desk, refusing to admit to such feelings. His brothers cracked into laughter. It truly was humorous, seeing Thomas be jealous of a man who was too innocent to even admit his feelings to Y/n if they existed. 

He walked out of the office, gun in hand and infamous cap on. Tommy and his brothers spotted Y/n and Newt, following behind quietly. Newt had stopped and looked around, pulling out his briefcase. Arthur looked at his brothers with a raised brow, earning the same confused faces as their reply. Y/n hopped into the case first, Newt going next, and John running over the case and putting his hand in it before it could close.

Fortunately, Newt and Y/n had already moved past the entry, trusting that the case would close on it’s own. How was it possible though?

“This has got to be a joke.” Tommy quirked his brow this time.

“Arthur, we just witnessed it happening. I don’t think it’s a joke. If this is where Y/n goes, we’ll just have to see what’s inside.”

And in they went...

“Newt!” Tina Goldstein dropped her glass when she saw three men entering the case. “Newt, Y/n, anyone! Just come quickly!”

Y/n darted in, her wand in hand. Queenie and Newt did the same while Jacob grabbed for the nearest weapon he could find.

“Tommy?”

“Y/n. What the fuck is this?”

She put the wood stick down, signaling the others to do the same. “Well...this is the thing I’ve been keeping from you. This is my work. I’m a witch, everyone here is except for Jacob. He’s a muggle, like you.”

“Muggle?”

“Oh- hello Arthur. Yes, muggle. Means no-maj, non magic folk.”

“You expect us to believe this?” John pushed past his brothers. They were all confused, and all shocked at the news.

“Yes.” Now, Queenie stepped forward. She took out her wand and said a few words the brothers didn’t quite hear. A spoon came flying over the Shelbys heads, landing in Queenie’s hands. “Also, I can read your thoughts. You men are quite perverted if I must say. I’m Queenie Goldstein.”

“Tina Goldstein.” The other woman stepped next to her sister, pulling her back behind Y/n.

“I’m Jacob. Don’t worry, I was shocked at first as well. Y/n didn’t tell you because her people had banned witches and wizards from being involved with people like us. Queenie and I didn’t really listen to that though.”

“If Jacob here, and Queenie could be involved...why wouldn’t you tell me, Y/n?”

She inhaled, walking over and hugging him. He didn’t hug back, making her sigh and separate herself from him. “Because. I thought you would hate me. And Jacob wasn’t supposed to know.. he found out on accident, then he met Queenie.”

“Fine. ....What exactly can you do? With your magic?”

John and Arthur looked at each other. It was obvious, how much sexual tension was happening between their brother and Y/n. Even the other wizards ...and Jacob, could sense it. The tension never really seemed to leave the couple.

Thank goodness Newt was quick to say something; “If you two are going to do something, please go do it in Mr. Shelby’s office and not here.”

I KNOW THIS SUCKS AND I’M REALLY SORRY, BUT THE IDEA WAS IN MY HEAD AND THE PRESMUT... I honestly don’t know how that got there.

I’m not gonna be surprised if this gets deleted or ignored, it’s just what came out of my head in the moment. I didn’t proofread but I made sure it was over 1k words and that it slightly made sense. And I know Tommy might be a little ooc, but I couldn’t help it. I’m sorry

Send in which group you want done, and some sort of scenario, such as “Harry Potter Era reacts to meeting his S/O for the first time.” or “The Marauders/Fantastic Beasts reaction to seeing you dance for the first time.” Please be sure to include what era of Harry Potter you’d like, otherwise I will choose!

Imagines:

Send in a boy from any era along with a scenario, and I will try my best to write a scenario for them! It’s really the same as a reaction, but this is more like a short story. For example, send in a, “Harry Potter scenario of you moving to another school.” or “Fred Weasley scenario of asking his best friend to be his S/O.”

Since these are longer than reactions and ships, it may take a little more time to do, so I apologize in advance if they aren’t done immediately. <3

I will limit my ask box to 20 requests before closing the box, so I can keep up with them. Any request sent in after the ask box is closed will be deleted. Please check the description to see whether or not it is open, or ask me, it’s never a problem. HAPPY REQUESTING! ^_^

More fantastic Newtina fics list.

I had made a post like this before here, and (after coming across another patch of awesome fics) thought I would post another rec list. As I stated in the previous post, anyone is free to add other fics they like or their own written work.

Hope you guys enjoy. :)

Slow Dance written by clairelizabeth. Suddenly aware of all the affection permeating the ballroom between each dancing couple, as well as of Newt’s presence beside her, Tina began to look anywhere but towards the Magizoologist’s direction, trying to busy herself with thinking about how beautiful the ballroom looked.

Out of Step, Out of Reach written by clairelizabeth. Tina’s hair was still in the same style she’d worn it those months ago at the engagement party: short and sleek, and dark and lovely like her eyes. Some pieces had strayed from where they ought to be from all her running about, but she quickly fixed it with a brush or two of her fingers.

Fantastic Beasts and How it could have been. written by Hellodie. Another timeline in which Tina and Newt actually met in school during an event: the Ilvermorny students came in Hogwarts for a very famous and also dangerous tournament. They'll have to learn knowing each other to defeat the obstacle arising on their way to their dream. Though, it wasn't love at first sight or was it ? The rating might change.

What Newt Gives Tina written by Bellarsam_Chrisjulittle. Sequel to "What Tina Gives Newt." Nine months later, Newt's book is finished and his family throws a release party for it at their grand estate. The last person that Newt expects to see there is Tina Goldstein, the witch he is falling in love with - and whom he stopped writing to over three months ago. So Newt has more than a book to give Tina now if he wants to keep her in his life - will it be enough?

After Hours written by gnimmish. Fluff, set just after the events of COG (so will eventually be canon divergent), Newt and the gang are back at the Ministry of Magic in London, in the small hours of the morning. The Americans want whatever passes for coffee round here, Jacob wants pumpkin pie, Newt wants Tina, and Leta wants to make sure he doesn't wait too long.

Please, just be happy written by RedSnow1. After the event of Paris, Newt Scamander insists on meeting Tina’s lover : Achilles Tolliver, who happens to be a formidable man. The two of them begin an earnest friendship based on their shared passion (which involves a certain female Auror) much to Tina’s delight. Everything is as perfect as it can be : the only problem is that Newt and Achilles are in love with the same woman, and Porpentina Goldstein is torn between the love of her life and the man of her dreams.

It was always you written by Iloveyourfreckles. Spoiler : Just after the end of The Crimes of Grindelwald, Tina, Jacob and Nagini came back to London in Newt's flat. Newt decides it is time to clear the air between him and Tina...

A Moment Longer written by albinokittens300. Newt and Tina are given few more moments alone in the French Ministry of Magics Archive Room.

The Sweetest Smile and the Gentlest Hands written by clairelizabeth. “I’ve been cutting my own hair since I started going to Hogwarts,” Newt says as his wife brushes the comb over his fringe, wincing slightly as it caught on a tangle. “I realized early on that being away from my parents meant they couldn’t force me to go to the barber’s."

In Another World written by Newtina100. A Newtina AU, based off of a prompt I found! A short story of were Tina begins volunteering at an animal shelter, where she comes to meet Newt, whose older brother is the manager. Although they get off to a rocky start, what starts off as a simple friendship blossoms into a much larger relationship.

Nocturne written by ravenpuff1956. Tina tosses and turns, unable to sleep, the horrible memories of the last few days continuing to plague her.

Sleeping Beauty written by RedSnow1. Porpentina Scamander gets hit by a curse on the job and has no choice but to relive the same day everyday… a day that only ends with what she fears the most.

Deeds of Loves written by RedSnow1. After Queenie’s warning, Newt Scamander and Tina Goldstein wonder whether they should postpone their wedding and yield to the threat. They will soon realize that in this time of war, nothing is more important than love and family. This is a sequel to "Please, just be Happy"

South West written by ourladyholmes. Newt Scamander knew he had a soulmate. Had known it from the moment that the compass came to life on his wrist. He just never imagined he'd ever actually meet them... especially not in New York City. But the compass never lies.

Only Look Me in My Eyes written by emraldmoon. A Fantastic Beasts fic in which Newt finally gains the courage to show Tina the inside of his case.

A white rose and a green dragon written by ravenpuff1956. Tina curls her hands tight against the bed sheets. They are cold and newly pressed. The room smells new- without mould or dust. A foreign smell to the towers she has been used to. The cells. Tina’s throat moves shakily as she swallows, and she coughs slightly to clear it. This is not how she thought she’d be spending her wedding night.

When The Bough Breaks written by bluesquints. Newt and Tina encounter seemingly happy circumstances with decidedly disastrous timing. Will they weather the storm that follows? Will their differences prevent them from what Dumbledore has planned?

My everything

pairing: newt scamander x female!reader

word count: 1.7k

warnings: angst idk

request: Newts bond with Tina keeps growing, and (y/n) has doubts about her and Newts relationship

A/N: this will probably be my last request because i suck at requests :/

It was an innocent idea. Newt suggested that (y/n), Queenie, Jacob and Tina should all get together. In theory, that was a wonderful idea, everyone Newt loves all together, it seemed perfect. The downside of this idea was that (y/n) was going to drive herself insane. She couldn’t stand seeing Newt and Tina together, though she knows Newt wouldn’t hurt her like that. At least she thinks so.

These ideas would enter her mind, each time she tried to turn them off. She knew Newt would never do it, but the what-ifs were eating at her. He was always around Tina now, maybe spending more time with her than (y/n). His eyes always light up when he talks about Tina’s and his adventures that day. (y/n) always nods along enthusiastically, but her heart was aching. Maybe she was selfish, but that should be her. Hanging out with Newt, making his day. Instead she’s this background character in his life, not a leading role. (y/n) is almost a hundred percent positive that she spends more time with his creatures than him in the past few weeks. These were the things that arise in her mind every time she heard Newt and Tina were hanging out, but she never had the heart to put her foot down.

So when the gang all meets up in the Goldstein’s house, her heart was beating far too fast. She was petrified at the idea of witnessing the two together. At least when Newt tells her about it, she doesn’t know all the full details. She won’t know if Newt was smiling at everything Tina does, she won’t know if there was something more. But witnessing the two in real is something else, she can see all the small mannerisms that Newt is unaware of, how he laughs differently if he finds something super funny or how he messes with his hair if he’s nervous. She can see how they interact, she can feel it all.

(y/n) hasn’t seen them in a while, she couldn’t bare to see Tina and Newt interact without wanting to scream. So she simply took herself out of the situation by not attending any get togethers. Newt eventually stops asking if she wants to tag along, though she expects it, she can’t help but feel betrayed. But when she walks in, it was like she’s seen them everyday of her life. Queenie was taking off her coat, offering food. She was so welcoming to her even if she hasn’t them in weeks. Despite the warm welcome, her eyes were glued on Newt. How he dropped her hand the second he saw Tina to hug her. She stands by Newt, waiting for him but he just moves towards the back talking to Tina. He only realizes that he left her alone when Jacob calls out to her.

When they sit down to eat dinner that Queenie made, Newt sits next to her but across from Tina. Queenie was being her bubbly self, and Jacob was enchanted by her. She feels quiet lonely, not having a partner to talk to, but she disregards that as she eats the deliciousness Queenie presented them.

“So, (y/n) how are you? Haven’t seen you in ages,” Jacob days through chewing food. This was the first time anyone attempted to include her into a conversation.

“Oh I’m okay. Worried sick,” (y/n) blurts out, getting a look from Newt, “About the-the, nifflers.”

“Why? What’s wrong then? They’re adorable aren’t they,” Queenie smiles.

“Acting strange that’s all.”

“Did you ever tell me? I don’t recall any weird behavior,” Newt questions her, which she responds with a shrug.

She pokes at the food, losing her appetite. She was talking to Queenie and Jacob about the outrageous new fashion and how Jacob should bake cakes. Though she was participating in that conversation, her mind couldn’t help but wander off into Newt and Tina’s conversation.

“How’s your arm?” Tina says to Newt.

“Oh, um, it’s healing alright. I didn’t think that I would hurt it,” Newt replies. (y/n) didn’t even know his arm was hurting. “Anyways Tina, I saw this poster advertising this vintage artifacts. I was thinking that you would enjoy it and how it would be fun to visit.”

(y/n) felt a piece of her heart chip, she would love to go. She wasn’t even asked. Tina replies, “I saw that and I was thinking about asking you about it!”

Newt let’s out a nervous laugh, “Well, great minds think alike. We can go on Saturday after your work.”

“I want to pick up some plants on the way back if that’s alright with you. Queenie really wants to get some new ones.”

“That’s fine, I can help you carry them. Then we can finish reading the Great Gatsby!”

She was most definitely ignoring the conversation with Queenie and Jacob now. She couldn’t even force a smile and nod with them, she was too focused on Tina and Newt’s. Her heartbeat was going off the charts. She hasn’t even had a whole day with Newt in so long, he’s always working or with Tina. But Newt hasn’t even noticed by the looks of it, he was mostly interested with Tina.

“Its a date,” Tina says with a smile.

Maybe it was just a saying, but it knocks the air out of her. This was it, he was going to leave her. He hasn’t even given her an ounce of attention the whole dinner. He was intrigued by Tina, (y/n) didn’t stand a chance, but she wanted too. (y/n)’s whole heart belonged to Newt, he was the only one. But he was smiling and making plans with someone else. Her head was spinning, she saw Queenie frown at her and she already knew what Queenie read. (y/n) is fumbling out of the chair, pushing it back before heading out in the cold. She hears Newt call out to her, but it wasn’t enough to make up for the whole time he ignored her. If Queenie was going to do the right thing, she would cover for her.

The freezing air filled her lungs. Her tears were quick to come. She was standing in the middle of the street, sobbing. Maybe she should just leave, apparte away and deal with heartbreak in solitude. She lost Newt, she doesn’t even know how. Maybe she wasn’t what he wanted anymore, maybe she was worse then Tina and he realized that he deserved better. Just like that, she flicks her arm, letting it take her home.

When she arrives into the comfort of their apartment, she lets herself fully go. Letting all that built up worry out for once. It was to the point where she was gasping for air. She was a mess. She was far too gone for Newt, but Newt didn’t seem to feel the same way.

Moments later, she hears footsteps coming around the corner. She already knows who it is. She turns the opposite direction, trying to contain her tears. Her hiccups were too obvious, letting him know. She hears him drop something off on the couch, most likely her coat she hopes.

She feels warmth from the arms that wrap around her back. His face nuzzling into her hair. It was all so familiar, but she hasn’t felt it in weeks.

“I’m sorry,” he whispers into her head. (y/n) doesn’t turn around to face him. She’s staring straight ahead, even though every bone in her body wants to met eye to eye. “Queenie told me,” he whispers softly, still hugging her from behind.

“You, you should h-have noticed with, without Queenie having to tell you,” she retorts back. The anger she was trying to convey seemed weak as her constant gasping ruined the mood. She pulls out of his grip, turning to face him.

Newt winces at the fact (y/n) wouldn’t let him touch her. He felt so stupid, he didn’t know he was making her feel that way. He thought (y/n) was okay with Tina, she never complained that he spent to much time with her. But seeing her crying, he sees all the little things (y/n) has done to hint at the idea that maybe she wasn’t fine. The way she would always say “again?” when he told her he was going to hang out with Tina, they way she never laughed at his funny stories with Tina. This was his one and only, and he pushed her away. Now she’s standing in front of him crying tears about how she doesn’t think he loves her anymore. How wrong was she?

“I love you so much (y/n),” he says gently, “I’m sorry for not giving you enough attention, I can cancel my plans.”

“W-well, you’re just saying that because I made you feel bad.”

“It’s my fault. I should have gave you more attention and I-“ His voice cracks, he’s losing himself too. Tears were swelling up, he didn’t want to lose her. “I love you, you’re my world. You’re the stars and sun. You’re the ocean and the sky. You’re every single creature on this world. That didn’t come out right. You’re not a creature at all, but-“

(y/n) couldn’t help but laugh, her tears were slowing down but she’s still hurt. “It’s alright, I know what you mean. I just wi-“

Newt cuts her off, “I would be the most stupid person to let you go. You’re everything to me, and whatever you think is happening between me Tina is nothing. You can ask Queenie, I’ll let her read my mind just so you know that you’re the only one that I want. I’m so stupid for taking you for granted, my heart broke when you thought I didn’t love you. You’re the only person I would want to be with for my whole entire life. This is nearly not a long enough apology, but I just want you to stop crying. I don’t want to hurt you like this ever. I hope you can forgive me. You’re my everything.”

She wipes away tears,“You’re so lucky that I love you.” She goes towards him, letting him hold her close.

“I’m so lucky to have you forgive a big idiot like me,” Newt whispers, embracing her.
