As long as I’m here, you’re safe

Newt x Reader

Warnings: mentions of child abuse, ptsd, panic attacks, anxiety

Summery: Reader gets flashbacks of their abusive dad. Newt comforts them.

You were in the case with Newt Scamander. Newt had asked you to help him with his creatures which you happily agreed. You loved his magical creatures!

It was a fairly easy day with them. Most of the animals were being quite playful. “Hey Y/N? Do you think you could go feed the Bowtruckles?” He asked. You nodded and grabbed a bag of woodlice. The bowtruckles, lead by Pickett, hungrily gathered when they saw you with the bag. “Ok! ok!” You said with a giggle as you took out a handful of the bugs. The Bowtruckles attacked your hand as they all grabbed whatever bit of woodlice they could get. They were clearly very hungry.

You grinned at their childishness with the food. Just then your mind flashed. You saw a vision of your father. He was hitting you for taking food without his permission.

You felt frozen in fear. Your chest felt like it was being compressed by a snake. Your breathing seemed to become rather difficult. You felt nothing but immense fear. You began to tremble and your brain began to flood with the most horrible thoughts of your dad. The things he did to you.

You just then noticed you were hyperventilating and tears filled your eyes. You crouched onto the floor and curled up. Feeling as small as you always did when your dad was around.

Newt had noticed you were taking much too long to feed the Bowtruckle. He went to see what the hold up was. When he saw you crouched and the tears rolling down your cheek, he took immediate action. “Y/n! Are you ok?” He knelt down next to you and began to comfortingly rub your back. You couldn’t stop the sobs that escaped and soon you were in the Magizoologists arms. “Breath Y/n, just breath.” Newt said softly as he held you close. His experience with caring for magical creatures really seemed to kick in. He caressed your back similar to how he would a wounded baby creature.

Soon your breathing seemed to normalize and you were able to calm down. The crying had finally stopped, though your face was still wet from the tears. “Are you ok now Y/n?” He asked. You took a deep shaky breath and nodded, “I… I had flashbacks of my father..” you said slowly. “It was just like when I was little. I felt so small. So helpless. So scared..” you thought you might cry again, but Newt cupped your face with his hands, “Y/n, I’ll never let him touch you ever again. As long as I’m here you’re safe. As long as I’m here, you will not be harmed ever again.”

He gave you a soft yet reassuring smile and you returned it with a smile of your own. You started to feel a little stronger and began to feel safe again. You knew you’d be ok because he was there to protect you. You trusted him and knew he would keep you safe.

summary. the scamanders have their first dinner together in years, but theseus finds himself drifting further than ever. ships. theseus + newt, theseus x leta ( past ), newt x tina ( minor ) characters. theseus s., newt s., tina g., scamander parents word count. 2.3k setting. after crimes of grindelwald genre. hurt/comfort, grief, angst warning. mention of death + not beta-read

Two solid knocks on the door could only indicate the presence of Newton Scamander. Theseus stood up from the couch and made his way over. His face instantly lights up at the sight of his little brother and his fiancée, MACUSA Head Auror Porpentina Goldstein. He wraps his arms around Newt and holds him a little, and an unspoken “I missed you” makes Newt reciprocate.

Theseus senses the hesitation in his actions, and as much as he wants to hold him tighter, he’s in his 40s. So he lets him go and shifts his gaze to Tina. They both simultaneously take their hand out and share a silent handshake. It’s been a while since Theseus has met Tina - they’ve only ever communicated directly to each other through owls from work. But as Theseus welcomes them into the Scamander household, he recalls the short but very Newt-like letters about Tina. It’s endearing, he thinks to himself as he tells them to settle themselves; he’s grown up so well.

It’s already the 1930s, yet the supposedly golden boy and the War Hero between the two is the alone one here.

Theseus bitterly chuckles to himself. He’s so, so alone.

He hears his mother calling that dinner’s ready from the floor below. He makes his way down to see his father, Newt and Tina seated on one side of the rectangular table. Dishes flew and were placed on the table as Theseus made his way to a seat on the other side. Both his father and Tina were having a heartfelt conversation as Newt sat in the middle, clearly out of place but compensated by observing Tina with doe eyes. Theseus finds his eyes bouncing between the crazy amount of food on the table and Newt - it’s almost comical how fast the nights change.

Just a few years ago, Newt wouldn’t be attending such dinners, leaving the entire family (especially their mother) in a somewhat sour mood. He would forget to reply to his and their mother’s letters, and Theseus often found the responses arriving several months later on his desk. And he would definitely not be making such prolonged eye contact with anyone, especially not a female and an Auror. The thought of Newt choosing an American Auror over him, particularly after the many quarrels between him and Newt about the profession, leaves Theseus feeling a pinch of unnecessary bitterness.

No, not now, he reminds himself; this isn’t about you; it’s about Newt for once. Stop being so selfish.

But Theseus recalls the time that Newt said he wasn’t a good brother at all. It was childish, and both were saying things they didn’t mean. But both brothers knew he had crossed the line - they may have far too many disagreements with their affiliations, but their relationships were always something they never touched. He apologised and said he didn’t mean it like he always does. Yet Theseus could still feel the sting decades later.

For once, he’s the one that can’t make eye contact with his brother.

The dinner was fine until Mr Scamander mentioned how Theseus was still companionless.

“Theseus,” his father started, and Theseus lifted his head from his food in surprise at his name being mentioned for the first time that night. A sigh left the oldest Scamander’s lips, “We can’t have our older Scamander walking around single, can we? You’re already in your 40’s, for Merlin’s sake.” Theseus, as always, stiffly but casually dismisses his father. “I just haven’t found the right one yet.”

“Oh, but Thee, even Newt is engaged,” his mother dramatically huffs, clearly wanting to see her children get wed. Theseus looked in Newt’s direction, and Newt responded with an awkward smile. Theseus could only wave his hand in disregard: “Newt’s grown up a lot, mum. Unfortunately, he surpassed me when it comes to finding a lifetime lover.”

“But with this job,” Theseus continued, “I have to stay at the Ministry too much. Plus, I think the Ministry’s trying to push the Head of Magical Law Enforcement title on me since Mr Travers is…well, not known for his competent personality. And you know that’s far more than just being the Head of the Auror Department, especially at a time like this.”

His mother only looked disapproved. “Newt travels so much; we don’t even know his location most of the time!” She stops to turn to Newt, whose ears turn a soft shade of pink. “Yet he’s engaged to an American Auror. What are you waiting for: an American magizoologist?” It’s Theseus’ turn to be embarrassed as he groans under his breath at the comparison. Does he look like he wants to interact with more dragons and kelpies?!

“But what about Leta?” Tina speaks up in the conversation for the first time, and Theseus can only weakly glare at her, which takes her aback. Both the Scamander parents have intense dazes on Theseus, and Newt’s eyes are only screaming apologises to him. Not that it means anything anymore. “You were dating Leta?!” his mother practically yelled, “I hope it wasn’t the Lestrange.” There was no disgust in her voice, but the disappointment was thicker than Traver’s stack of untouched paperwork on his desk. And that’s saying something.

“What was between Leta and I is none of your business.” Theseus’ words come out harsher than he intended, but he wasn’t planning on having this conversation right now. At this point, he wasn’t sure if it was directed at his parents or Tina.

“You were snogging over the Lestrange. For one, you didn’t tell us. But secondly, we thought you were better than that, Theseus Scamander.” The strictness in his father’s voice makes him internally wince a little. “What’s wrong with Leta?” Theseus asks though it’s more of a threat if anything. His father stands up abruptly, causing Theseus, Newt and Tina to flinch.

“You know exactly what’s wrong with dating Leta,” his father reprimanded, “She was your brother’s first. That’s highly inappropriate of you, Theseus.” Theseus breaks away from his father’s eye contact to briefly scan over Newt. He could tell he was feeling guilty, but now wasn’t the place where Theseus could comfort him. He returned his focus to his father. “Am I not allowed to love who I want to love? What happened to ‘finding the right one’? What if Leta was the right one? What were you going to do about that?”

This time, it was his mother who spoke up. “Then you shouldn’t have tried to get her in the first place. You should have known who was off-limits. We thought you knew better.” Theseus could feel his blood starting to boil, but he tried to remain calm and keep a straight face as his mother continued to ramble. “You betrayed the Ministry’s trust to fight in a Muggle war, and came back a hero. Only to go after the Lestrange?! You had the morals to protect even the non-wizards, yet you didn’t have the morals to go after your brother’s ex?”

“You don’t know what happened between me and Leta, Mum!” Theseus defensively resorted. He could feel himself losing his temper with every new word. Activate ‘Head Auror’ mode, he tells himself. A switch he couldn’t reach right now because this was far too personal. “We don’t, but we don’t need to know what happened to know that it was highly improper of you!” his father states, his voice significantly raised by the end.

“Is that what you expected from me? To be the perfect son? Free from any mistakes?”

“No,” his father calmly but steadily answers, “We just wanted you to be a good example to your brother.”

“What about my happiness, dad? As long as Newt looked up to me and I did well in school, everything would be fine? Am I not allowed to fall in love?” “Oh it’s not like that, Theseus…” his mother’s voice was now softer, almost forgiving. “But you should know what you shouldn’t do. You’re the follower of rules here, Theseus.”

“There are no rules when it comes to love, mum! Weren’t you the one that told us that? Surely you aren’t backing out on your own preaches?” Theseus almost hates how mockingly the last part came out, but a voice in his head tells him it’s the right move. “I even got bloody engaged with her. But you wouldn’t know that because I knew you would all react like this!”

“Thee…” Newt’s soft-spoken voice speaks for the first time. “You didn’t tell them about the wedding?”

“Theseus Scamander.” Their father’s voice goes dangerously low, and Theseus can see how Newt instantly regrets his words. “There was a wedding, and you didn’t tell us about it?!”

“Well, it never happened, and it will never bloody will! Because she’s dead! She’s dead!” Theseus loses his temper as he finally shouts out. “Theseus, we thought you knew better than to hide secrets from us. Even Newt doesn’t do that anymore,” his mother tries to calm him down, to no effect. “Shut up! Shut up!” He suddenly stands up and storms off upstairs. The table shares hesitant glances at one another as the echo of a door slamming shut bounces off the walls of the Scamander household.

Theseus clenches his wand in his hand as he summons his briefcase. He wasn’t planning on pulling a Newt today - let alone talk about the unsaid relationship - but he couldn’t stay within these walls anymore.

Is this what Newt felt? He asks himself. Did Newt feel like the air had become suffocated and the walls had begun to close in too much?

Before all his items have been stored in his briefcase, he hears a knock at the door - two solid knocks. A second ahead of Theseus, he hears Newt’s voice say, “Alohomora,” and the door creaks open. He resists the urge to frown and lets out a heavy sigh as Newt’s figure appears. In Newt’s fashion, he stays still, not trying to close the gap between the brothers. Instead, he watches the items float into his brother’s briefcase, and it locks itself up afterwards. Theseus lets out another sigh, not wanting to let his emotions bubble over again but also knowing that he was going to have to be the one to speak up.

“Newt, are you alright?” “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you?” Theseus smiles a little, knowing that Newt is doing his best to be concerned. “I’m alright, Newt. But I’ll get going - I don’t think I’m welcome here for this dinner.” He feels Newt slowly approaching like Theseus is a demiguise that needs to be caught. Newt stops an arm’s distance away and continues to avoid eye contact. “Thee, you know me and Leta...” “Were never together,” Theseus finished Newt with a sign, “I know, I know. And by the way, tell Tina that it’s not her fault that our parents and I fought. She didn’t know. If anything, it’s mine.” Newt slightly nods and returns to the awkward Newt posture he’s always in.

Theseus picks up his suitcase and approaches Newt. He pats his shoulder before telling him, “I’ll be off now, Newt. Please tell dad and mum that we can talk about this…sometime in the future.”

“Wait,” Newt calls nearly noiselessly, “Are you sure you’re alright?”

“I will be, Newt. Don’t worry about me, I’ll have it under control. You should go back down and continue eating dinner alongside Tina. Surely she’s feeling a little out-of-place there without you.” Theseus grins for the first time that night as Newt’s face turns pink from embarrassment. The older brother almost disapparates before he remembers. “Oh right, come ‘ere, Newt.” He throws his arms around Newt and holds him tighter than usual.

“Thank you for being the better son now,” Theseus whispers. He can see that Newt’s about to speak up when they break it up, but he disapparates before he can hear what he says.

Instead of apparating back home in the middle of London, he finds himself in his office at the Ministry. He tiredly makes his way to his chair and stares at the paperwork below him. They were still trying to catch Grindelwald’s tail - not easy when his goal to conquer the world means he’ll be in places far beyond Europe. But his mind wasn’t on Grindelwald’s capture right now, as much as it should be. Theseus turns his head to look at the shelf against the furthermost wall of his office. He stands up and approaches a moving picture of the Scamander family.

Newt was only two at the time, and he was ten. The family looked happily at one another as Newt was slightly wobbling while trying to walk away. His father was ruffling his hair as his mother eventually picked Newt up and kissed him on the nose.

But now, he’s the outcast of the family, a supposed backstabber to his parents’ trust. And he knew he wasn’t going to get it back as long as the relationship remained a sour subject to them and Leta’s death remained a sour subject to him.

You’re so, so selfish - the voice finally speaks up after the conversation - and so, so alone.

(Theseus swears he didn’t stay in the office all night, crying himself to sleep on his desk for the first time in a long time. Theseus swears he didn’t just stay because the house suddenly felt too big again, too big for just one person after Leta’s gone. Theseus swears he’s not resentful against anyone and that he didn’t cast the locking charm and the anti-alohomora charm on his door in fear that someone would see him in this state.

Theseus swears that he’s moved on from Leta’s death.)

Confessions | Part Five | Theseus Scamander x Reader

A/N: This is it, loves! Honestly, this series was so fun to write. It was short and sweet, and that's how I had envisioned it. I hope you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Key:

Y/es/n - Your eldest son's name

Y/ys/n - Your youngest son's name

Y/d/n - Your daughter's name

Y/gs/n - Your grandson's name

Y/gd/n - Your granddaughter's name

S/w/n - Son's wife's name

Confessions: Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four |

You and Theseus approached the maternity wing in St. Mungo's, eager to see your firstborn grandchild.

Your oldest son, y/s/n, led to you his wife's room, eager for you to meet his baby. Or rather, babies.

It was a shock to both you and Theseus when y/s/n had chosen to elope with his wife instead of have a traditional wedding. It was even more of a shock when three years later, they shared they were expecting a baby. Who was due in two and a half months.

Although Theseus was initially upset that they kept the pregnancy from the two of you for so long, you managed to calm him down with biscuits and tea, reminding him that they were grown adults who made their own decisions.

So when Theseus walked in and laid eyes on his grandchildren, a bit and a girl, he couldn't hold back the tears.

"They're going to be just as strong as their mum and dad, aren't they?" He cooed as he took his granddaughter into his arms, rocking her gently back and forth while you cradled your grandson.

Your son's wife, s/w/n, smiled as she watched the two of you with them, "They favor the two of you quite a bit, don't they? Then again, y/s/n is a pretty even mix of the both of you. Or at least I think so. Which is why we've decided to incorporate you guys into their names."

Theseus shot his head up, "I don't understand..."

"My parents died when I was very young, and you guys practically raised me when I was a child. Without you guys, I wouldn't have met this fool," She teased, looking up at your oldest son, then back at the twins, "Guys, this is y/gs/n Theseus Scamander and y/gd/n y/n Scamander."

Your heart melted upon hearing their names, and you smiled down at the twins, "Oh, s/w/n... You've made my whole year."

Theseus tried to control his tears, but it was useless, "I'm honored, truly. Thank you."

They nodded and you all enjoyed it the silence for a moment until the door burst open, your second born son and daughter bursting in wearing large grins.

Y/e/s/n glared at them, "Quiet down you two, they're asleep."

Y/d/n's jaw dropped, "They?"

As your children started rambling about the secrecy of the pregnancy, you rest your head against Theseus's shoulder.

"Darling, I think it's my turn to confess." You said in a hushed tone as he met your gaze, "I just fell in love all over again."

Pressing a kiss to your head, you and Theseus nestled into each other, smiling at your children, and now, grandchildren.

Since watching Fantastic Beasts, I've always wondered...

How did Harry not become an Obscurial?

"An Obscurial was a young wizard or witch who had developed a dark parasitical magical force, known as an Obscurus, as a result of their magic being suppressed through psychological or physical abuse."

Knowing the Dursleys are absolutely awful to Harry and it is clear they neglect him, verbally and sometimes physically abuse him through the series, it only leaves to the imagination how he lived growing up. What doesn't make sense is that Harry isn't an obscurial or at the very least has no trouble controlling his magic.

(Bellow, there's a list of things the Dursleys have done to Harry, can skip the list if wanted, it's just a small recompilation of things the Dursleys have done to Harry)

They had him live in a cupboard under the stairs for most of his life and the only reason they gave him a room was because they thought they were being spied on by wizards

The Dursleys canonically didn’t like Harry before meeting their nephew and knowing if Harry had magic.

Dudley bullies Harry and his parents do nothing to stop him

They talk bad about him in front of him

They locked him in his room in CoS, put bars on his window, and delivered small amounts of food through a cat door on his door

They abandoned him at the train station (in the books)

Wanted to leave Harry in the car while they spent a day celebrating Dudley’s birthday at the zoo.

They let Aunt Marge treat him poorly

Vernon tried to strangle Harry in OotP because he thought Harry had used magic

Had to use his on the run godfather as blackmail to get the Dursleys to treat him nice.

It is narrated he was used to small amounts of food, at one point, Harry had to ask his friends for food after the Dursleys started giving him even less food

Harry was punished for accidental magic when Petunia knew, from Lily being her own sister, wizards and witches cannot control accidental magic.

He was nearly hit in the head with a frying pan and would've been if he hadn't dodged

He learned "not to ask questions"

An actual quote from the books: “long experience had taught him to remain out of arm’s reach of his uncle whenever possible.”

Vernon thought he could beat the magic out of Harry and thought that was a perfectly fine mentality.

He tells one of his friends at the end of the first book the Dursleys would be disappointed he didn't die

And there might be more that I missed or forgot to mention.

Now, if you did read the list, you might be thinking, most of this are just forms of abuse (which still are pretty concerning) but most don't enter in the category "result of their magic being suppressed through psychological or physical abuse". But there are some like "Vernon thought he could beat the magic out of Harry and thought that was a perfectly fine mentality" And "Harry was punished for accidental magic when Petunia knew, from Lily being her own sister, wizards and witches cannot control accidental magic" that could enter this category, and risk him suppressing his magic to avoid punishments.

Credence's (or Aurelius') caretaker most likely didn't know Credence was magic, but the whole anti-witches campaign she had going and the fact that shes physically abused him, was enough to cause him to suppress his magic until the point of becoming an obscurial. The Dursleys knew fully well Harry was magic and most likely wanted him to suppress it so they could keep up their normal family tale, still, Harry never showed signs of becoming an obscurial.

Ariana became an Obscurial after suffering extreme emotional trauma, something Harry has experienced pre and during his time at Hogwarts (with and without the Dursleys' help).

Still, it is never touched how Harry didn't become and obscurial... is it because of his connection to Voldemort? Or the protection of Lily? Or was Harry just really that strong?

The Harry Potter plot is kind of a mess, and it sometimes becomes even more confusing if focusing in the movies only. As the first books of Harry Potter came out before Fantastic Beasts and Deadly Hollows(where we have the case of Ariana), it's possible she-who-must-not-be-named didn't even think about obscurials before addressing Dumbledore's family issues and Credence.
