#scamander family

[fckingfangirlever]

Okay, so i got this idea.

Can we reboot Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them? But without the dumbledore and grindelwald storyline. Just Scamander brothers and the beasts.

In supernatural vibes. Two brothers, travelling and saving magic creatures.

OMG

Saving fantastic beasts, hunting poachers. The Family Business.

L&L Scamander Headcanons:

Leander and Lycidas are the firstborn twin sons of Newt Scamander and Tina Goldstein.

They were born around 1946, a year after the marriage of their parents and the imprisonment of Gellert Grindelwald.

The boys enrolled at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the year of 1957.

Leander was sorted into Hufflepuff house like his father and uncle before him, while Lycidas was sorted into Ravenclaw.

I’ve decided that Lycidas should be in Ravenclaw due to the Goldstein family having ties to the house through an English relative, Anthony Goldstein.

Leander’s godparents are Jacob Kowalski and his father’s “indispensable” assistant Bunty Broadacre.

Lycidas’s godparents are Eulalie “Lally” Hicks and Theseus Scamander.

The only reason why Queenie isn’t the godmother of one of her nephews is because Tina wanted to wait until she had a daughter.

The twins grew up in England, but oftentimes visited their Kowalski relatives in America during the holidays.

For the most part both of the boys have British accents, but here and there you can sometimes hear their mother’s American twang slipping through, especially when they get excited or upset.

Leander and Lycidas were in their fourth year when Bellatrix Black enrolled at Hogwarts in 1962.

By the time Andromeda had began attending in 1964, the twins were already in their sixth year at Hogwarts.

With that being said, they didn’t have many interactions with the Black sisters as the twins were a bit older than the Marauders era.

I suppose in the original canon we could say that Leander and Lycidas were around when the Mcgonagall brothers were still at Hogwarts.

I’d pin Malcolm’s birth around 1940, and maybe Robert Junior would be a year or two younger than him so his year of birth would probably be 1942.

When the twins enrolled at Hogwarts Mal would’ve been seventeen, while Bob would’ve been fifteen.

But with the way HP canon is going right now we don’t actually know what years in which the Mcgonagalls were born, especially with Minerva’s plothole appearance in SoD.

Lycidas is a left-brainer, he is very strategical and thinks more with his head rather than his heart.

He is much like his uncle Theseus in this way, although Lycidas has a creative mind and is very skilled with charms.

This is something I’d think he would get from his godmother Lally.

I could see Lycidas maybe learning one of those portkey charms like the one Lally had with her book.

When he graduated Hogwarts, Lycidas planned on becoming an auror like Tina and Theseus.

Leander is the one who inherited his father’s compassionate nature and affinity with magical creatures.

He has a very sensitive soul and can be a little scatter-brained sometimes like Newt.

But one thing is for certain and that is not to underestimate him.

Leander has his mother’s stubbornness and his father’s inability to follow the rules.

Although these traits may be the culprit behind the countless detentions he’s received during his school years… oops.

Both Leander and Lycidas joined the Order of the Phoenix when Dumbledore first established it in the 1970s.

Lycidas is the father of Rolf Scamander, therefore making him the father-in-law of Luna Lovegood, as well as the grandfather of Lysander and Lorcan.

your spark - lorcan scamander

·˚ ༘ while you have the brightest personality and are quite a little sunshine, you're definitely not the brightest bulb in the box. yet, you're still in ravenclaw. why? - nobody knows and seemingly everyone in your house thinks you don't belong. except for lorcan scamander, your tutor, who finds you crying after you overheard mean ravenclaw girls talk bad about you behind your back. he promises you: being smart isn't everything and that a little thing about you (that you don't even notice is part of you) is much more valuable.

·˚ ༘ fluff, ravenclaw!reader, fem!reader, insecurity, hurt & comfort, for my academically struggling girls (I see you!)

·˚ ༘ 1.8k words

ravenclaws were supposed to be smart, right? intellectual, wise, intelligent and stuff. real nerds with top grades and bright futures as some of the most renowned wizards in the world. well, apparently, that was not the path that had been cut out for you. you were a ravenclaw, yet you were anything but smart and your grades were definitely not outstanding. you struggled a lot, always needed extra help and for the professors to explain everything twice to you. the fact that being good at school didn't come naturally to you took a great toll on you and you always questioned whether the sorting hat might've made a mistake all those years ago. you never really felt like you belonged to ravenclaw and that you never really fit into the description of the typical smart and cunning blue-robed student. today was an especially tough day. you had messed up immensely in class, had broken one of the pots in herbology and snapped the little plant that was growing inside of it right in half. professor longbottom didn't deduct any points from your house, luckily he was just too kind for that, but you definitely saw that he was a bit emotional about the killed plant. you were so embarrassed and had felt so bad, you had apologized over and over to your herbology professor, all while your classmates just stood and laughed at you. and to only make it worse, you had overheard your fellow housemates talk bad about you. "she's so stupid, did you see what she did in herbology today? I swear to god, she only has two fucking brain cells left and both of them are occupied with fashion and makeup." "really, she doesn't deserve to be in ravenclaw. she's so dense, it's sickening." and that hadn't even been everything that they had said about you. they had called you a "bimbo" and a "stupid fucking people pleaser". now you were crying in your room. you had been, for the past 15 minutes actually. eventually, lorcan scamander, your tutor for practically everything that you could still be helped in, had found you in your dorm and had apparently decided he wanted to join in on your crying session. "what's wrong, lovey? why are you crying?", he asked and the evident worry and concern in his voice only made you cry more. he sat down on your bed, right next to your sobbing figure and gently pulled you into his arms, hugging you. "tell me, what happened?", he softly inquired. you shook your head, too embarrassed to share it with him. you knew lorcan didn't think you were stupid or that you weren't a real ravenclaw, he would never, he was too kind. but for some stupid reason you were still scared that he might change his mind and end up agreeing with the others, because as much as you wanted to perfectly fit into your house, you simply didn't. you didn't fit in. your sobs had now subsided to small hiccups and you were disentangling yourself from lorcan's hug. "lorcan, I'm fine, thanks for being concerned but it's really alright.." he frowned, not buying your bullshit. "you were crying, heavily may I add. you're not alright." you sighed, running your fingers through your hair. you could still feel his eyes on you, piercing into you to find a reason for your upset state.

lorcan had always been an analyser, quick to figure people out and quick to know whether they could be trusted or not. he was quiet and reserved and he only ever hung around his small, selected group of friends who he had basically known since he was born. all of them were extremely smart, skilled in academics and from a respected household. you were a bit intimidated by them, to be honest. it was a wonder lorcan even talked to you. not that you weren't nice, it was mostly just because he kept to himself and could be very closed off. you were pretty much an open book, wearing your heart on your sleeve and wanting to befriend everyone. you were kind, caring and sweet but you weren't exactly the smartest. even though you wore the blue and silver tie, your highest grades were only ever A's (acceptable) or P's (poor).

a few months ago, lorcan found you sobbing after getting back the test results from divination, where you had gotten a T (troll). he comforted you and offered to tutor you in that subject, which soon turned into him helping you in all of the subjects, seeing as your grades were not exactly good in any of them. you often told him he didn’t have to and that you didn't want to be a burden to him. school alone was already pretty exhausting and tutoring you on top was an extra weight he didn't need to pull. he told you to stop that nonsense and that he liked teaching you.

him tutoring you followed the two of you hanging out after school a bit. you were different from the usual type of people he hung out with, much more extroverted and a lot more focused on just living life rather than succeeding all the time. he liked it, it was refreshing and fun. every time he hung out with you, he felt like you were this bundle of light and joy, happy and bubbly and fun to spend time with.

but now it seemed like your light had been completely dimmed. looking into your eyes, lorcan only found a pool of sadness and hurt and it broke his heart.

"please talk to me", he pleaded. "I want to know what's going on with you, so I can help. please."

he tucked a strand of hair behind your ear, letting his hand linger for a bit. he wiped away another fallen tear that had escaped your eye. you knew he was waiting for an answer.

"fine", you huffed. "I overheard some girls talking about me, calling me a bimbo, dense and lots of other horrible stuff. basically saying I don't belong in ravenclaw."

lorcan's face had gone blank and you could see how hardly he was trying to surpress his anger, for your sake. he exhaled heavily, thinking before speaking, taking his time. he was always very careful with his words.

after a while, he finally spoke, an ernest yet empathetic expression on his face.

"look, I'm so sorry the girls in our house are so rude and that they're saying these unbelievably untrue things about you. I'm also sorry you believe them, because they couldn't be more wrong, love."

he sighed as he noticed tears welling up in your eyes again. he pulled you into his arms once more, your back now against his and your head against his chest. he shifted you so you were in a comfortable position in your bed, his back against the headboard and you slumped against him. he started playing with your hair, a comforting act that he did every time he had to console you after you didn't pass an exam.

"listen closely when I tell you this, okay?"

you nodded, curious as to what he'd say.

"I still remember the first time we hung out after a tutor session. you'd convinced me to go to hogsmeade with you because the christmas season had just started and you were so excited to go and see the lights and decorations. when we wandered around town, you were so happy the entire time, lighting up at every single decorated window you saw. you were glowing. and I've seen you like this other times as well. one time, you brought a new pencil to tutoring and you were basically ecstatic because it was pink and it lit up when you wrote with it. it was just a little pencil from zonko's but it still made you so happy."

the two of you were chuckling now, amused at the memory lorcan had recounted.

"you have the amazing ability to find joy in the little things in life. I envy you for it, actually. you're focused on just living life and finding happiness along the way. when I first met you, you weren't so worried about succeeding in school all of the time, until your grades got a little worse and I started tutoring you... yeah, you got more ambitious, I'll give you that but you also lost a bit of that spark"

you tensed, knowing that you'd gotten more stressed over the last few months. your academic performance hadn't really gotten better and your feeling of being an impostor in ravenclaw had increased. lorcan noticed your switch in emotions and quickly kept talking, not wanting to make you more upset.

"I want you to know that being good in school isn't everything. I know you've been so focused on it the last few month and you've been working so hard and I'm truly proud of you. I just don't want you to lose yourself in it. I know me and my friends have. sure, we're good at school and get good grades, but it doesn't exactly make us happy. most of us wish we'd have what you have. the ability to not base one's happiness on success but to simply be happy because life is a happy thing.In 3 years, nobody will care what grades you got in school, love. so, please, don't lose your adorable self over it."

he gave you a kiss on top of your head, ruffling your hair. it made you blush a little bit.

"and especially don't listen to what those nasty girls have got to say. they've got no idea what they're talking about."

he said the last part with a bit more harshness, the anger evident in his voice. it brought a little smile to your face. you felt better after what he had said and you didn't know how you had deserved him.

you turned around to face him and took his hands in yours.

"thank you, lorcan. I truly don't know how you do it, but you manage to cheer me up everytime, like it's your super power or something." you chuckle, it makes him smile.

"oh, a few months of tutoring you and many many tears of yours over potions have taught me how. so, I guess you could say I have 'well acquired super powers'"

he shrugged and you laughed, feeling a bit lighter thanks to your lorcan.

April Fool’s Prank

(Oneshot in The Chosen Ones series)

It was teatime, and Newt, Theseus, and seven-year-old cousins Juliet and Judette went into the kitchen to prepare for it. Theseus and Newt washed their hands before going to the cupboards. Then, Juliet pushed the stepping stool in front of the sink and stepped on that stool. She tucked her nearly shoulder-length black hair behind her ears, rolled up the gray long-sleeves of her light pink shirt, and washed her hands. When she was done, Judette got on the stepping stool, quickly smoothed her dark blue t-shirt down, and washed her hands.

The kids got the placemats, utensils, and napkins, and started setting the table. Newt got the teabags, sugar, cups, and spoons for his and Theseus’s teas, and Theseus took out the plates and cups and set them on the counter within the girls’ reach. The girls took them and finished setting the table.

Newt sped up the steeping process, then took the sugar container and poured the sugar into the teas. Juliet and Judette saw that, and their eyes widened and they pressed their lips together, trying to suppress their smiles. Meanwhile, Theseus set out some scones, strawberry jam, cantaloupe that he had sliced earlier, and dairy-free milk.

Then, everyone sat at the table and got their food. The kids weren’t strong enough to pour the milk without making a mess, so Newt poured milk into Judette’s cup, and Theseus poured milk into Juliet’s cup.

Then, Theseus took his spoon and started to stir his tea. Newt did the same.

The girls quickly glanced between Newt’s and Theseus’s cups and their own food as they ate, trying not to be too obvious. Theseus was a highly observant auror after all.

When the brothers were done stirring their teas, they raised their cups to their lips and took a sip.

They sputtered in disgust.

The tea was salty!

The girls burst out laughing. Theseus and Newt, looked at them and then at each other, confused.

“We got you!” they exclaimed gleefully.

“What—” Theseus stammered.

“We switched the salt and sugar,” Juliet said, smiling.

“You did?” Newt asked incredulously.

“Yeah! We used magic to take them out of their containers and put them in the other ones,” Judette said excitedly.

Newt and Theseus were quiet for a few moments. Then, Newt remembered.

“It’s April Fool’s Day,” he said, smiling at Theseus. Theseus’s eyes widened in realization.

The girls giggled.

Theseus chuckled and shook his head.

“Alright, you got us,” he said in mock defeat. He held his arms out toward them. “Come here, you two.”

When Juliet reached him, he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her, rocking her gently. After he pulled out of the hug, his hands lingered on her shoulders and he smiled at her.

When he let her go, he turned to Judette, ruffled her short black hair, and pulled her closer to him so he could kiss her head. He then laid his hand on the edge of her shoulder, smiling at her.

Like her dad, Judette didn’t like hugs.

Theseus let her go and then turned towards Newt. He chuckled, and Newt shook his head in amusement.

The girls walked over to Newt.

“April Fool’s, Daddy,” Judette said as she looked up at Newt, a big smile on her face.

Newt laughed and shook his head.

“April Fool’s, Judette.”

He kissed his daughter on the top of her head and cupped her cheek before letting go and giving the same affection to his niece.

Started a Scamander family science communication twitter account this afternoon bc I have no self-control. Here’s tweet number 1, based on this tweet. We love mixed Muggle-Wizard families in the 2000s learning about social media & then getting into Statute of Secrecy trouble 💁🏼

Smaller wizarding British schools (p5)

Broadoak School

Founded in 1940 by Theseus Scamander, then Head Auror, for all in need including limited magical and Squibs ("magic-borns") in close cooperation with the S.S.S. but generally consists of British military children. First located at Broadoak House, the Scamanders' original home in Dorset. It moved to a modern secondary school in Milwich, Staffordshire afterwards then a farm in the Lake District in the 1970s for security from Valdemar.

They predominately specialize in Magizoology and a large, since renamed: Non-Magical Studies department (both always required) along with Charms, DADA, and true History along with a proud sports program, everything devoted to ensure tolerance in their students. Magic-born and limited magical students share theoretical classes with the student majority but have separate magic subjects, in growing acceptance.

The acorn, a reminder of strength, power, and of childhood, proud on a flag beside the Union Jack. Their "Muggle" uniform typically British school style (like Ilvermorny or Hogwarts' prep uniform for trips) in brown and purple, inter-swappable to preference, with a cloak or blazer, especially after school. They take students on suspensions from other schools, its height during the Muggle Revolution (1955-70) particularly from Hogwarts without question.

Broadoak started a day school, with students taking the Union Bus (military) to school. Boarding grew through the 1970s as cabins expanded though older students can camp. Since then, their reputation grows and have a friendly rivalry against Kelynek but Pumlumon sees them as a clear threat, representing Muggle Britain.

Auld Lang Syne

Newt und Theseus waren nie ein Herz und eine Seele, aber ihren jüngsten Zwist scheinen sie weder zugunsten der Silvesterfeierlichkeiten noch aufgrund der weltpolitischen Veränderungen beilegen zu können. Über mehrere Jahre hinweg blickt Artemis Scamander voll Sorge in die Zukunft ihrer Söhne – bis sich herausstellt, dass es manchmal gerade die tragischen Wendungen des Schicksals sind, die zwei ungleiche Menschen zusammenbringen.

Hi

I hope you don’t mind me asking, but as you know I really enjoy reading some of your fanfic and love the way Newt’s family are written in your universe. I love how Newt’s parents are supportive, especially his dad. I think his dad and Theseus are my favourites.

Anyway I wanted to ask, in your world how would Helious and Rowan react to Newt’s expulsion from Hogwarts? What happened when Newt came home? Or when they were called in after the incident?

Did they treat him with kid gloves? Like go about it delicately like they did with the incident with his uncle in the ministry? Or maybe this time he’s gone too far (as far as they know), so they’re more disappointed and bit more firmer? He’s not a kid anymore so how would that go? Now that’s something interesting I think to explore.

Hello! Good to hear from you! I’m answering this from bed half asleep so forgive me for not going into a ton of detail. But if I put it off I’ll just never reply. Very happy you like how I write the Scamander family

And great question — because their reaction is different from how they treat him after the situation with Hesiod in “The Riot Act”. While still cognitively immature, there’s still a big difference between barely 11 and 16/17…. ‘Kid gloves’ are appropriate when dealing with certain issues at certain ages, but realistic conversation would probably be a better fit for the expulsion at 16.

That being said..

So I actually I have a few versions of their reaction to Newt’s expulsion I’ve been playing around with. But all of them involve Newt going back to live with Rowan eventually, but spending the first month avoiding home, living solely with his dad in London. I write him specifically requesting his father be contacted to pick him up, after which he informs his mother himself, while at Helios’. Newt knows she’ll be disappointed. And he ultimately chooses to figure the first few weeks after expulsion out with Helios precisely because Rowan is struggling to be supportive (and he likely feels ashamed). Rowan, meanwhile, feels she’s tried everything and still she’s ended up with her youngest son, expelled from school, just come of age with absolutely nothing going for him. She’s worried, and frustrated, and angry, and that can be hard for someone like Newt to figure out how to handle, especially bc I don’t headcanon he tells his parents about the entire Leta situation. Which makes him come across as far less sympathetic.

By this point, I write their dad as being somewhat “checked out”. He’s largely given up on parenting by now (I mean, Theseus is well into adulthood, but newt’s still young), as he’s been rather burned out by his own life and some particularly poor coping mechanisms. You can imagine the unspoken strain that puts on a family unit. Helios is of course upset with the situation but he’s not disappointed in Newt in the same way as Rowan (probably for obvious reasons, as he and Newt share a lot of personality traits in addition to some overlapping neurodivergence), so his reaction is pretty tempered. So it’s easier for Newt to hide there, with his dad.

Luckily for both Rowan & Helios, though, Newt immediately gets work at DRCMC and an apothecary in Diagon Alley, so he keeps himself busy, and largely out of trouble. He strikes me as the kind of person who does much better—in many ways—in the world than he does in school (I say, heavily projecting), so I imagine over the course of a few months, he and his mum come back around to understanding one another better. There’s a point at which one just has to accept that (a) this is the unfortunate way of the world and it’s necessary to survival to sometimes just accept it [Newt], and (b) this is just the way some people are — you can cry and scream about it but good luck trying to change something that perhaps just can’t be changed [Rowan]. Neither of them is entirely in the right, and I think they both probably know it, a little bit.

I do headcanon the expulsion as one of the first real cracks in N & T’s relationship, though. Theseus doesn’t abandon him and remains an anchor in an otherwise somewhat unstable family during this time period, but he doesn’t understand him, and it starts to get messy.

One of the reasons I love writing about Theseus and Newt is because neither of them is perfect. They both have canon flaws in how they deal with commitment and conflict. And I’m trying to figure out how to write the expulsion reaction for all of them, so I’ve just been poking at it for a few months, and waiting for it to shape itself out.

So that’s some rambling. Certainly it’s not all my thoughts because I’m in bed but. Would love to know your thoughts too.
