Fantastical Beasts, Charlie Weasley
Word Count: 1.1k
Tumblr media
You looked between your two nifflers, snuggled up on your bed with you, on the small mound of shimmering fabric that was their blanket and their small pile of coins, and then to your boyfriend.   The letter to his mother remained unattended while he wrote his own letter to the ministry about relocating a group of orphaned dragons whose mother had fallen prey to poachers. 
“Charlie….”
“Hmmm?”
He hadn’t bothered to stop writing, his quill going on feverishly, pushing past the hair that had slipped into his face.  You couldn’t help but smile at the passion that he’d held for the fantastical beasts. 
Even now, the triplet newborn dragons were curled around his feet next to the fireplace. 
“I hope you know that we can’t keep them,” you reminded him softly, “not in the long run anyways...they're nearly as big as our Nifflers now and they're only babes.”
His eyes snapped up to yours, and you stared into the chocolate eyes you fell in love with your first year at Hogwarts. He bit his lip, and tilted his head, the characteristic Weasley green flecks popping through as he gave you a nervous once over.
“We are home in Romania,” he reminded you, “there are plenty of dragon reserves here.  I just have to clear it with the ministry since there are a few of them.  I don’t necessarily have to let them go.”
“Charlie…they’ll outgrow the house in just a few months time…”
“Then we’ll have a few months…”
“You are incorrigible,” you laughed softly.  Charlie smiled at you, and you shook your head, “and how are you going to tell our children about their three new siblings?”
Charlie eyed your pet Nifflers lovingly, “I think they’d be fine with more siblings…rather they be dragon or other creature…”
“And what if they were some other sort of fantastical beast?” you tried softly, figuring that you should at least break the news to your boyfriend before you mailed the letter to his mother.
“What sort of other fantastical beast?” he asked, “I doubt that we could get away with any Bowtruckles or a Jarvey…but we might be able to get away with a Crup or a Kneazle. But they aren't very much fun.”
“Charlie…I-I wasn’t thinking of an actual beast,” you sighed, shaking your head at him.  You got up from your bed and started towards the kettle to get yourself a cup of tea, “I just-was thinking is all.”
“I can see the gears grinding in your head, my love…” he offered softly, “can tell that something other than fantastical beasts is on your mind…”
“Just thinking about the holidays.”
He frowned, “I know…I’m sorry we missed Christmas with my family…mum was a bit sad she didn’t get to see us…and you know how my brothers and sister are.  They adore you…and you and dad didn’t get to talk about your history with muggle objects.  But we’ll see them sometime at the end of the month…I promise.  As soon as I get these dragons settled. Mum wanted to save our sweaters for when she sees us in person.”
“It’s already near the end of February, Charlie…”
His frown deepened and he looked up at you.  His eyes went wide, “I missed Valentine’s Day…”
You gave him a sad smile. 
Just last week you’d decorated the house and made his favorite meal.  You had planned a very romantic night for the two of you which started with a picnic in the mountains and ended with the two of you falling asleep under the stars after you revealed to him that a little Weasley was on the way and it wouldn’t just be the two of them and their creatures any longer.
But it never happened. 
He’d come across the poachers then. 
And two days after, on February 16 he’d shown up covered in dirt and ash, carrying his trusty knapsack, where three little dragon heads were surrounding him, their little paws on his shoulders as they explored their surroundings. 
He stood in an instant, making the dragons jump.  Apologizing to them, the creatures seemed not to care as they snuggled back up with one another as he made his way towards you, “sweetheart, I’m so sorry.  I didn’t even th-“
“It’s fine, Charlie…we’ve both been scatterbrained as of late…especially when it comes to what we love…”
“But I love you!” he proclaimed softly, taking your hands in his own.  You forgot about the kettle you’d just pulled from the stove and watched the sadness in his eyes, “I-I promised that I would be home…”
“You came home in the end…that’s all that matters!” you reminded him as you leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss to his lips, “but I-I did want to talk about that night.”
He frowned, his brow creasing.
“Y-you know I can’t take time off…poachers never stop and the drag-“
“I’m pulling back on the jobs I accept,” you admitted, cutting him off, “a-at least until the end of the year.  I can’t worry about the safety of the dragons if I’m worrying about something else.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing…nothing…I just-“
“It must be something!” he said quickly, “you were so happy.  We were going to go to China after we visited my family and go assist in-“
“I can’t because I found out I’m pregnant.”
Charlie stopped speaking.  His eyes went wide as he looked at his girlfriend, “wh-what?”
“W-when they went to do a wellness check on me…to make sure I was good for China next month…they found out that I-we’re pregnant…we’re going to have a baby, Charlie.”
His breath caught in his throat as he looked at the woman he loved.  You bit your bottom lip as he stuttered out, “a-a baby.  Us?  We-we’re going to have a baby?”
You nodded.
“I-it won’t just be us?  And Artemis and Selvans?” he asked, looking to the Nifflers still asleep on the bed.
“No…” you whispered, taking his hands and leading them to your still flat stomach, “I-I’m eight weeks…which means-“
“We were tracking the Hungarian Horntail,” he blushed, remembering just where the two of you were when you’d conceived, “the forest in-“
“I remember where we were, thank you very much,” you giggled, cutting your boyfriend off, “I-I wanted to tell you when I found out last week…was going to tell you on Valentine’s Day…”
“We’re going to have a baby…”
“Yeah…”
He smiled, pulling you to his chest once more as your lips connected.

Good evening, Lovely! I have a question for you!
What do you think Sebastian's favourite beast would be? (magical or otherwise) I've been pretty curious about it :) I'm not quite sure myself-
Secondly! What's your favorite?
I'm so sorry I didn't answer this before! I think he would like nifflers - I think he'd find their antics charming; and imagine the combination of Sebastian Sallow and a niffler. Too many detentions to be heard of
I, myself, am also partial to nifflers - whoops. Is my bias showing?

Day #19
Again, super quick one, as I really don't have time today.
Tumblr media
Honestly, I believe I would love to adopt any creature in Newt's case ... But I have a very soft spot for nifflers. They are more dog-ish than crups are (IMO). I love Teddy, but I have a special spot for the tricolor baby niffler ... So I guess she would be the one...

((Break from hospital arc because BABY NIFFLERS OMFG BABEHS))
✨✨✨
Oh Hagrid, you know you can count on me for any of your magical beasts needs. I may not be a Magizoologist, but I adore animals of all size. This one was very easy to catch. The perks of being a Seeker. This sweet heart was utterly enchanted by the small thing. Tiny paws reaching out, as he hurried himself in my coat. I think he might have mistaken myself as just a very large Niffler, who found something shiny to share with him. Think outside the box, my friends. Dragons to Nifflers, I love them all. I hope Hagrid gives me more tasks to help him. Hope this small little thing enjoys a nice and safe life, away from those filthy smugglers and traders. Have a safe journey, little fella. Maybe we will see each other again one day.

Too bad
You can be both! But I find u cute, accept it!
And terrifying can be cute too! Haha! Your cute either way! Adorable! Sweet lil snek! Hahaha!
Cute things cannot be terrifying - ah wait. Nifflers. Nifflers are a pain in ones backside and strike terror in the heart of every collector - and yet they are such...cute looking creatures.
But that logic does not apply to myself. At all.

Hello! I would love to see Newt with a girlfriend who his nifflers can't get enough of. As soon as she comes by they're all over her but they never steal anything shiny she's got on. Thank you! 💖
A Nifflers Love
Warning - None
Pairing - Newt Scamander x Reader
Summary - The nifflers love you. All they want is your attention. Whether you're wearing the shiniest necklace or the dullest watch they see you as something much more important.
A/N - OMG, I'm so freakin happy right now! Thank you so much for suggesting such a cute idea! I seriously can’t thank you enough! Prompts or ideas really get my creative juices following so feel free to make as many suggestions as you like! I’m more than happy to write them, especially such cute ideas like this! This goes for anyone who comes across this post too!

Newt wasn’t surprised when all his creatures fell for you. It honestly made him even happier when he’d see how some of them got so excited to see you and would miss you when you weren’t around. But one thing he didn’t expect was the nifflers loving you as much as they did. When it was just the one, he was shocked to see Teddy make a bee line for you. The little thing crawled up your leg and held onto your neck. Newt reached forward to get her off, fearing she might take your necklace but upon closer inspection she was just cuddling close. She was rubbing into your neck and licking your hair, almost like she was trying to groom you.
You let out a giggled when she accidently licked your ear. “What’s wrong love? You want cuddles?” You asked, moving your hands to hold her closer to you. You held me like a newborn baby pressed into your shoulder. And you rocked her too, singing softly as Newt stared at you with admiration. God did he love you. Seeing how you handled Teddy made him fall in love with you even more and a small part of him began to wonder what you look like holding a real baby. His baby. A blush crept up his neck at the thoughts running through his mind.
Teddy almost seemed to be your familiar. [A/N: animals (some say animal-shaped. spirits) that serve a witch in various ways, whether as servants, messengers or even spies] She came with you where ever you went, just like how picket was with Newt. She’d sit on your shoulder, hide in your coat, or chill in a small bag you began to carry around just for her. Once she had her babies though, she stopped doing this. She mostly stayed at home but would still cuddle and nuzzle you whenever you stepped foot into your shared home with Newt.

“Hello Teddy, are you doing alright?” You asked. She was panting and whining in pain. She was in labor and the most you could do to help was sit with her and speak to her. You brought your hand to rest under her head, rubbing your thumb against her face causing her to lean closer to you. Newt was with you as well, but he was there mostly to make sure everything was going well and that Teddy, and the babies, were safe. It was a long labor but eventually all 3 of her babies came into the world safely, thanks to Newt.
Once she was done, she nibbled at your hand, pulling your closer to her babies. You felt hesitant, seeing how tiny they were and worried you might accidently hurt them but Newt reassure you. You hand covered them completely, like a blanket. You wondered if they would like you as much as Teddy does, maybe they’d be different and go back to their normal way of just wanted anything shiny. You were so wrong.

Newt came back home, having been denied permission to travel once again. It was starting to weight on him and made him feel a level of sadness he’d never felt before. But walking into your shared home he tried to hide him feelings. Beginning to look for you so he could have some sort of physical contact.
“Y/n?” You didn’t reply
Newt’s first place to check was always the basement. It was the biggest so it just made sense but after a good look around he couldn’t find you. When he made his way back to the stairs, throwing a quick glance to where the Nifflers were held, he froze. They weren’t there and you weren’t there. Had they gotten out? Were you looking for them? He rushed back up stairs checking every room again.
Finally, all he had left to do was check the bedroom. 
He walked over, gently turning the knob and peaking inside. The sight before him eased him immediately and brought the biggest smile to his face. He leaned against the door frame and watched you closely.
You had all 4 of the Nifflers on the bed. Your body curled into itself on your side while Teddy laid near your face and her head resting on your neck. Then the babies. They were all over, one laying inside your shirt nuzzling into your chest, another close to your stomach, your arm draping over it and hold it closer to you. And the last one had made a nest in your hair. It was by far the cutest thing Newt had ever seen. He wished you could stay like this forever, looking so peaceful and beautiful.
With a quiet sigh he walked further into the room and closed the door behind himself. He was trying to be as quiet as possible as to not wake you. He slipped on his shoes, undid his tie and gently folded his coat. He reached into the closet and grabbed a thin blanket. It had been pretty hot recently, so he didn’t want to make you overheat but even then he still worried slight about you being even the tiniest bit cold. Then, after laying the blanket on top of you and creatures he crawled in behind you. Slowly spooning you. 
Even in your sleeping state you moaned and melted under his touch. His arm trying to gently rest under your neck and the other wrapping around your torso. 
“Newt...” You mumbled in your sleep, moving a free hand to interlock with his. He chuckled, holding you. Every worry and fear washed away as you laid together. For a moment he felt like nothing else mattered and that later, once you had woken up, he’d open up to you about how he was feelings. And you’d be there to support him. Every step of the way.

Judge of Character | Sebastian Sallow x GN Hufflepuff
(REQUESTS ARE OPEN!)
Word count: 1.2k
Warnings: none! absolute fluffy goodness for my first post on this page c:
Summary: When professor Howin assigns a task on caring of a niffler, Sebastian has a bit of a hard time. That is, until you give him the confidence he had hidden all along.
Tumblr media
“Now, just gently tickle their belly: like this,” professor Howin demonstrated as her finger tips grazed over the nifflers stomach, earning a giggle from the creature. You slowly and gently let your fingertips graze the light brown patch that covered the creatures otherwise dark, chocolate brown colored fur. As your fingertips tickled the beast, it began to wriggle in delight as various coins and rubies began to slip out of their pouch. “Very well done! Ten points to Hufflepuff!” Professor Howin stood by your side as your niffler had sat back up to collect their shiny belongings and also managed to sneak your own personal bracelet clean off your wrist while you were smiling at the professor.
“Oh come on you bloody rat!” You heard a familiar voice shout from the table towards the kneazle pens. “I thought you were supposed to like this, why am I wasting my time with you,” frustrated grunts filled the air as the boy took the creature by its toes and hung it upside down. “Perhaps because you are torturing the poor thing, Sebastian” Ominis spoke up as he tried to stifle a snicker behind his hand. Ominis reached his hand out to feel around the table to cradle his niffler in one hand while he tucked his wand into his robe before gently tickling onto the creature's soft tuft of blue fur. “See?” The blonde boy smirked in Sebastian's general direction, earning a growl of jealousy in response. “You know, Sebastian, they say that creatures are a good judge of character.” Ominis started as he began to laugh through his words.
“Perhaps, you could assist your Slytherin friend with his niffler? I think he needs a more… gentle approach?” professor Howin raised her eyebrows as he forced herself to look away from the scene and back towards you. “Once you have taken care of that, you are free to spend the rest of class time as you’d please. I know you have been wanting to spend some more time with the new baby thestrals.” With a delighted smile and an eager nod in response, you thanked the professor before slowly stalking toward your friends. You gently place a hand on Ominis lower back so as to not startle him as you sneak up on Sebastian. “I thought I heard you struggling over here,” you began as you smiled through your words, placing a hand on Sebastian's shoulder. “Oh Merlin, finally, a voice of reason that Sebastian will actually listen to.” Ominis pressed his hands together in prayer as he lifted his head to the sky. “That bloody rat trusted the one that couldn’t even see it over me, the one that was doing exactly like everyone else did!” Sebastian pouted, looking over to Ominis to see if he had offended him with his spurt of jealousy. “Sebastian, you just need to be more patient. It will learn to trust you; we both did…” Ominis whispered soothingly as he gave his friend a reassuring pat on the back. “Ominis is right, Sebastian. These creatures don’t understand things the way we do. They don’t inherently know that we don’t mean any harm. You have seen the poachers all around in high volumes lately first hand!” You started as you gently slipped the niffler into your hands and nuzzled its beak with your nose. “For all they know, we are no better than those nasty nasty poachers, right?” You spoke in a baby-talk sort of tone to the niffler before pulling back and smiling genuinely at your friends. “Now, hold your hands in a little cup like this,” you held up your hands so he could watch closely, Sebastian shuffling to stand beside you so he could watch your exact movements. “Very good! Now, slowly just let it get used to you before you start moving.” You gently slid the niffler from your hands into his, the creature sniffing his fingers before nuzzling into his palm.
After a few moments, the niffler was in delight as Sebastian began to tickle their light tuft of brown fur. “Look at it! I think they actually like it!” Sebastian's smile gleamed in the dimming sunset as he turned to look at your for approval. “I knew you could do it, you just needed an extra hand.” You smiled and placed your hands under Sebastians, caressing his knuckles with your thumbs. A bright flush of red spread across the boy's cheeks before setting the niffler back onto the table and scratching nervously at the back of his neck. “I’m going to get a head start to the great hall for supper, but I will save a seat for the both of you. Don’t dally on your way back.” Ominis smiled as he retrieved his wand from his robes, the tip flashing red to lead the boy towards the castle. It was clear that your friend knew you wanted a moment alone from the blush now spreading to your cheeks as well. “Would you like to see the new baby thestral? Professor Howin gave me a key to their den so I could give them some food and brush them before the class gets to see them next week. I wouldn’t mind the company.” You insisted, nudging your elbow into Sebastian's arm. The boy smiled and nodded in excitement as he watched you turn towards the den, sheepishly letting his hand brush yours as you walked. You took a deep breath as if to swallow any ounce of courage in the air and let your fingers interlace with him as you walked toward the den, a smile forcing itself to spread across your lips.
“It still hurts me to know that you can see thestrals too,” Sebastian started as he opened the door to the den, letting you walk in first before he quickly trailed behind and let the door close behind him. “That makes two of us. But, it at least makes me happy to be able to see these little guys.” You smiled as you kneeled down, gently stroking the back of the creature's mother before doing the same to the new baby. “Absolutely beautiful and misunderstood creatures.” You muttered to yourself as you smiled at the now yawning baby thestral. “Are all Hufflepuffs this good with beasts? Or was Ominis right about creatures being a good judge of character?” Sebastian chuckled as he knelt down beside you, his hands in his lap. You let out a soft chuckle before grabbing his hand on your own and guiding it to the back of the thestral. “Maybe a bit of both,” you shrugged as you slowly let go of the boy's hand, watching him gently stroke the back of the creature. “I guess even creatures need their own emotional support Hufflepuff,” Sebastian joked as he jokingly poked at your side, earning a wriggle out of you before setting your head on his shoulder. “They will have to find their own, you’re mine.”
