Masterlist
Requested by Hi_Boy_Love on Wattpad
Tumblr media
It was him. It had always been him. But I couldn't get myself to forgive him, I just couldn't.
So, instead of smiling or waving it anything, I just sat there, frozen in place, as his eyes landed on mine. For the entire evening I had prevented him from looking at me. Newt Scamander. The one and only Magizoologist and my former best friend. We went to Hogwarts together, but as always, my sister Leta caught his attention and the two of us talked less and less, until  we didn't talk at all anymore. In the end, I befriended his brother Theseus and the two uf us started working at the ministry together. I could never forgive Newt for favoring my sister over me, I knew it was childish, but still...
 He smiled at me shyly, which pulled my out of my trance, so I quickly looked away. Leta seemed to notice my Nervousness, so she grabbed my hand and smiled at me. It was a sad smile and immediately I knew what she was about to do.
"Leta", I whispered, "Don't!"
I closed my fingers around her hand trying to stop her from leaving me, but it was useless. She broke free and tumbled down the stairs.
"Leta!!", I yelled again, as she got dangerously close the the blue flames. I quickly grabbed my wand, trying to cast a spell to stop her, but Leta was faster. She turned around, an apologetic look on her face. She raised her wand against me:"Expelliarmus!!"
I was thrown to the ground, to far away to still help her. I looked back up and saw Leta standing in front of Grindelwald.
"Leta!?"
It was Theseus. Her fiancé and my best friend. His eyes looked glossy and he seemed so confused, not understanding what was going on. But Leta ignored him, she turned around and looked me in the eyes, a smile on her face, before she stepped into the flames.
And just like that, she was gone. My sister was gone.
"Leta?", I mumbled, not understanding what just happened. It couldn't be true, it couldn't. How could she be dead?!
"Xenia!?" I heard my name. I looked up, tears in my eyes. It was Newt. He kneeled down in front of me, an expression of pain on his face.
"We need to go", He whispered and put a Hand in my shoulder. I was too stunned to speak, so I only nodded. He gently pulled me onto my feet and guided me away from the flames.
In that moment, I didn't care. I didn't care about our fight, about our past, about nothing, I just followed Newt away from the flames.
But they grew hotter each second we tried to escape them. It seemed useless.
"Hurry!!",My face shot up. It was Flamel, he had found us. And he had a solution, so we ran, we ran and ran until we so rounded the flames.
Newt stopped right next to me and Theseus. I looked at the two brothers and nodded. Together, we rammed out wands into the ground, yelling:"Finite!!"
Red flames broke lose, circling the blue one's by Grindelwald. The heat was getting unbearable, but I threw up my arms and stayed in position. After a few minutes, I felt the heat dying down and looked back up. The graveyard was burnt to pieces, but everyone seemed alive and well.
Just now, I finally seemed to realize what had actually happend. I slowly fell to my knees, tears falling down my face. My sister was dead. Leta Lestrange was dead. I sniffled slightly and looked up at Theseus. He also had tears in his eyes. Of course, he just witnessed the love of his life die. 
"Theseus?", I mumbled and grabbed his hand. His eyes fell on mine and then he lost it. He started sobbing and cried out in pain. I quickly pulled him in for a hug, letting my own tears fall freely. 
Newt was still standng next to us and despite everything, I raisedmy hand and motioned for him to come to us. He had lost someone too. Newt slowly trotted over to us, his shaking hand took mine and I pulled him closer to Theseus and me. The two brothers looked at each other before nodding.
"We need to go", Theseus mumbled. Newt and I only nodded and grabbed his hand and Theseus apparated us to the french Ministry of magic . I sniffled quietly and wiped away my tears.
"I'm sorry", Newt whispered. I looked up at him, a little perplexed. "for everything", he mumbled. I carefully took his hand. Newt avoided looking at me, so I simply pulled him with me to sit down on a nearby bench, waiting for Theseus. I quietly put my head down on his shoulder. A few seconds of silence passed, each one of us lost in their thoughts. 
"I know", I finally said and glanced at Newt. "I know", I repeated and squeezed his hand,"I forgive you"
Tumblr media
"Oh come on", I cursed. Theseus and I were dangling from the ceiling in one of the best secured prisons of the the magical community.
"He'll come", Theseus assured, trying to turn towards me, but he just swung around helplessly.
"What makes you so sure?!", I asked, trying to think fo what Newt was currently doing. I was hoping, that he was save.
After my sister died, I barely had time to grieve. The situation with Grindelwald got much worse and we had to fight Him. Even Dumbledore decided to step into action now, even if he and Grindelwald still had the blood swear.
"Theseus?"
My head shot up. I turned to look at Theseus. He nodded, so he had heard it too.
"Xenia?"
No doubt that it was Newt. A grin rose onto my face. Theseus was right, he actually came to save us.
I was about to yell his name, but Theseus repeatedly shook his head, motioning for me to stop. And fortunately, I listened to him.
A few seconds later, we saw Newt trotting over to us. But he was walking like a crab with his arms in the air and legs spread.
"Rescuing us, are you?", Theseus mumbled.
Newt quietly answered:"That's the general idea"
"And I presume... This", Theseus said, looking at Newt confused,"Whatever it is, you are doing, is strategic"
Newt nodded:"Yes, it's a technique called limbic mimicry. It discourages violent engagement...theoretically. I've only actually attempted it once before"
"And the results?", I asked, looking at him.
"Uh...", Newt mumbled, arriving right in front of Theseus. "Inconclusive", He muttered, "Course that was a laboratory setting and the conditions were strictly controlled and the...Well, the current conditions are more volatile, so making it less predictive of the ultimate outcome."
Newt had waddled closer to us and slowly attempted to turn around, so that he was facing Theseus and me.
"The ultimate outcome presumably... Bing our survival", Theseus said and looked up and Newt, who was standing directly in front of him now.
Suddenly a tail emerged right behind Newt. It came out of the abyss that was hovering only a few feet under us.
The tail got closer to Newt. To close for my liking, but it only seemed to inspect him. Newt carefully craned away his head, trying to avoid touching it.
A few meters away from us, the light of one of the other inmates, suddenly started flickering before it ran out.
The tail, which was next to Newt quickly got away from him and started hissing at the inmate, before it sunk back into the abyss.
A few seconds later, a much bigger scorpion-looking tail emerged and grabbed the inmate, pulling him down with it, while all he could do was scream.
"Holy lord", I gulped.
Newt had slowly turned around and watched how the remains of the inmate were shot back up. All that was remaining was a stinky corpse, dipped in Secretions and juices from the scorpion.
Suddenly, all the tiny scorpions started marching away quickly. Newt could only look after them, as they started eating up the remains of the inmate.
Newt quickly jumped closer to Theseus, cutting open his fetters. I could hear a thud, presumably Theseus who fell to the ground.
He groaned, as Newt grabbed his lantern and stepped over to me.
"Hy", He mumbled as he also loosened my fetters. I also fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
"Hy", I groaned, as Newt grabbed my hand and  pulled me to my feet.
"Are you alright?", he asked. I only nodded, rubbing my back.
Newt ran back out and Theseus and I followed him quickly.
"Shit", I mumbled, as I saw the army on little scorpions in front of us. They were blocking the way out.
"And the plan is?", Theseus asked, while I felt how Newt slowly pushed me behind him.
"Hold this", Newt said and handed me his latern. I quickly grabbed it and held it up. Newt folded his hands and started whistling. The sound echoed through the caves, as Theseus and I waited for something to happen.
"What the bloody hell was that for?", Theseus whispered, looking at Newt from the corner of his eye.
"Um..", Newt breathed, "We're gonna need some help."
He suddenly lifted his arms, getting into the scorpion-like position, he was in earlier. Theseus and I backed away a little bit, as the tiny scorpions all mimicked Newt's pose.
Theseus and I quickly tried to copy Newt's pose. The lantern dangled around in my hand, as I did my best to do it exactly like him. He suddenly started swinging his hips:"Follow me"
I gulped and started at him, as I slowly trailed behind Newt, trying to copy his actions. I looked behind me, seeing that Theseus was also struggling to find the right rhythm.
"Come on", Newt mumbled quietly. The three of us, were slowly walking along the path together with the tiny scorpions who all copied our actions. We looked like a weird magicall dance group, practicing for their next gig.
"You're not swiveling properly", Newt said, eyeing Theseus' hip swings.
"Swivel...", he tried to explain, "Swivel, but delicately"
"I'm swiveling like you're swiveling, Newt", Theseus said sternly, even though it was obvious that he struggled.
"I don't believe you are", Newt mumbled, tilting his head.
"Shut up, you two", I mumbled and gave them both and stern look.
Suddenly the lantern in my hand started flickering too. Newt and Theseus immediately stopped fighting and looked at the light in my hand.
But luckily, it didn't go out. Unfortunately the light in the chamber right behind me started flickering too now, before it ultimately stopped glowing.
"Bloddy hell", I whispered before ducking away quickly, as the Gigantic scorpion tail emarged from the abyss and grabbed the inmate behind me.
I quickly got up and waddled over to Newt, as I saw the Corpse already flying back up. I stumbled into Newt's side and he quickly put his arm around me, preventing me from falling.
"Are you alright?", Newt mumbled and looked down at me.
"Mmh", I nodded, as I glanced at the tiny scorpions eating up the corpse.
Newt and I looked at Theseus and he nodded:"Swivel"
I parted from Newt and the three of us started trotting away again.
After a few minutes, we finally reached the entrance of our cave.
We were ready to step out, when I heard a crunching sound behind me.
Newt and I turned around and saw that Theseus had stepped on one of the tiny scorpions. He slightly shook his foot, to get it away from his shoe. 'Gross', I thought to myself.
Suddenly the lantern in my hand started flickering again, but this time, it finally stopped glowing.
I looked around as all the scorpions hurried out of the cave, leaving the three of us behind.
I couldn't believe my eyes, as I turned around and saw at least four of the giant scorpion tails, coming out of the abyss. The creature growled at us, before it started to attack.
A yell escaped my lips, as Newt, Theseus and I started running away.
"Woah", I yelped, as the cave crashed right in front of me, a Scorpion tail destroying the wall. I quickly got up and backed away. I ran into the other direction and duck away from the glowing splotches of Secretion, that the scorpion fired at me.
I had to stop, trying to catch my breath as the tiny scorpions suddenly so rounded me again. I quickly backed away, back into the cave, but right now, the Gigantic creature was emerging completely. It seemed like I had no way out. It hissed at me, and rammed it's tail into the wall right next to me. I whimpered slightly and backed away. I ran across the path towards the entrance. It seemed like a parkour, since every few seconds one of the tails rammed into the earth right next to me. I finally made my way out and started running like the devil was chasing me.
As I crossed an intersection, I was able to spot Newt for a second, who was also running away. I turned left and saw him running towards me. I sprinted the last few meters towards him and he grabbed my hand, pulling me with him, as Theseus also joined the two of us. Together, we sprinted towards the entrance, as the ceiling started to crumble. Right after we escaped, it crashed down and closed the entrance once and for all.
I tried to catch my breath, as I thought we were save, but suddenly a tail came up behind us. It slung around Theseus and pulled him away.
"No wait!!", Newt yelled and the two of us grabbed one of Theseus' hands each and tried pulling him back to us. It seemed almost impossible, as Newt lost Theseus' hand.
He was pulled closer to the abyss and so was I. I landed flat on my stomach, as I tried to prevent Theseus from being pulled into the abyss.
"Newt!", he yelled, as I struggled to hold him up. He grabbed both of my hands tightly and tried to pull himself up.
Newt ran to us, grabbing my other hand, building up a chain. Suddenly Pickett came flying towards us, Newt's Wand in his hand. He quickly grabbed it and yelled:"Accio!!"
Only seconds later the three of us fell into the abyss, as Teddy, Newt's Niffler,  came flying right after us.
"Grab the tie!!", Newt yelled. I did as he told and the port key activated. The three of us were apparated out of the prison.
We landed somewhere in a Forrest. The cold air hit my face, as we landed on the ground. Thanks to Theseus and Newt, I landed gently, as I toppled down on the both of them.
I groaned slightly and got up, as I noticed that the scorpion tail was still around Theseus, as him and Newt got up too. He quickly pushed it away, the tie though was still in his hand. It hissed and crawled away quickly.
Thesus lifted the Tie and handed it over to Newt, since Teddy was still clinging to it.
"That was a portkey", he said sternly.
"Yeah", Theseus mumbled.
"Well done you Two", Newt said as we reached the lake right in front of us. I couldn't believe my eyes at what I saw. A smile appeared on my face, as I took in the sight of Hogwarts, right in front of us.
"Come on", I smiled and pulled the two wizards with me.
As we entered the great hall, I immediately spotted Lally sitting next to a couple students.
"Lally!", I shouted and she looked over to us.
"What kept you three?", she asked and got up.
"Uh", I mumbled, "We encountered some complications. You?"
"We encountered some complications", she repeated and handed me the Newspaper that she was holding.
I opened it and looked at the headline perplexed.
"Jacob tried to murder Grindelwald?", Theseus asked, after he peered over my shoulder.
"It's a long story", Lally said.
She turned around and I spotted Jacob sitting at the Dinner table with some Students, they were talking about his new wand.
"Jacob", Lally said sternly, catching his attention, "Look who I found"
"Hey", he smiled and quickly got up,"Its my wizard friends, Newt, Theseus and Xenia"
He looked back at the students and crossed his fingers:"We're like this. I gotta go, alright. Have fun. Don't do anything I wouldn't do"
I smiled at our muggle friend. He never failed to impress me with his charisma.
"Do you believe this place?", he asked, as he stepped over to us, "They got pint-sized little witches and wizards running around here"
"You don't say", I chuckled. I saw Theseus smile slightly before he slowly walked away from us.
"I was the assassin", Jacob mumbled, leaning closer to me and Newt. A smiled at him, giving Newt a look and a chuckle left his lips.
"Newt, Theseus and Xenia all went to Hogwarts", Lally explained with a smile before we followed Theseus.
"Oh, I knew that. Well, they're being very nice to me. The Slytherin boys over there, they gave me these", Jacob smiled and held up a package of candy,"They're delicious. Who wants one?"
Newt and I turned around and Eyed the box that he was holding.
"Well, I never cared for cockroach clusters much myself, although Honeydukes are supposed to be the best", I explained
The bell chimed and the students all got up and Started to leave, while the four of us stepped over to Dumbledore. He did not seem happy.
Tumblr media
After explaining the situation to us, Dumbledore lead us to his brother, who lived in Hogsmead.
"Here we are", Dumbledore said and opened the door for us.
"Bunty, you're here", Newt said and looked over to his assistant.
"Yes", she smiled.
Newt finally noticed the Quilin standing to his feet.
"How is she?", he asked and leaned down.
"Oh, she's fine", Bunty said. She grabbed Newt's case and let out the other Nifflers.
"What's Alfie done now?", Newt asked as he crawled into his hand, scolding the little guy.
"Miss Broadacher, I trust my brother has been a gracious host?", Dumbledore asked and caught my attention. He eyed Bunty questioningly.
"Yes, ever so gracious", she smiled.
"I'm delighted to hear", Dumbledore said and turned to his brother,"Uh,so room's have been arranged for you in the village and Aberforth here will prepare you a delicious dinner, his own recipe"
To be honest, the soup Aberforth made, didn't look to delicious. The taste was astonishing though.
I looked over to Newt, as I caught him staring.
"Newt?", I mumbled and nudged his arm, "Can we talk for a second?"
He only nodded and followed me outside as I excused the two of us.
We stepped outside into the cold and I quickly turned around, looking at Newt. He was avoiding my eyes.
"Newt... I...", I whispered and grabbed his arm. I gently pulled him closer to me and he let me. "Newt, I...I want to thank you. Ehm, for saving my life.", I mumbled. I felt his breath hit my face and I looked up at him. His face was inches away from mine and he finally looked into my eyes.
"Xenia", he whispered. I couldn't help myself. I pulled him closer by his arm and our lips collided in a soft kiss. I closed my eyes, as I felt his arms wrap around me gently, like he was afraid to hurt me. I put my arms around his neck, as I deepened the kiss.
"I love you", I blurted out as we parted,"I always have" Newt didn't say anything and for a second, I thought that I had spoken to soon. I looked down in embarressment, but suddenly I felt how Newt's hand rose to carress my face. He leaned down and softly kissed me again.
"I love you too", he smiled,"I always have"

Music From A Sushi Restaurant - Theseus x Reader
A/N: As many of you know, Harry Styles just released his third album, "Harry's House". In celebration of his new album (and the amazing lyrics included) and my love for Theseus, I decided to put two and two together and write one-shots based off the songs. I'll be going in order, so look out for a Theseus x Harry's House masterlist coming soon!
Series: Theseus Scamander x Harry's House
Song: Music From a Sushi Restaurant
Word Count: 440
Warning: Unrequited love
Tumblr media
You sat at your desk, sorting through a thick stack of files that had been set on your desk that night. You had to have them all sorted and delivered within the hour, but you could hardly focus.
Your desk was positioned to face your boss, Theseus's, office. While on any other day you would have appreciated the tall glass dividers that surrounded his office, today wasn't that day.
Leta was currently nestled up against him, her hand in his as they ate a late dinner. They were laughing about something, and with every laugh, your grip on the papers got tighter.
Finally, you yelped in pain, noticing a large paper cut on your palm. With a sigh, you threw down the papers on your desk, waving your wand to make them sort themselves. The truth was, you could use a distraction. But all you wanted was to be in Leta's place, sitting beside Theseus.
At one point, that could have been a possibility. But when she came along and secured a job at the Ministry alongside him, you knew you had missed your chance. And that killed you, more than you let on.
No one knew that you had been pining over Theseus ever since you started working for the Ministry, and it would stay that way. It would only cause problems. Theseus would become awkward around you, Leta would hardly look at you, and you would shut down. It wasn't worth the risk.
So you rose from your chair, turning off the lamp on your desk and grabbing your bag. Taking the papers in your hand, you knocked swiftly on Theseus's office door, excusing yourself as you placed them on his desk, "Here are the papers, Mr. Scamander."
He smiled up at you between bites, "Thank you, Miss Y/L/N. Have a good night."
Your heart fluttered, "You too, Mr. Scamander."
You bowed your head at Leta, noticing a ring glistening in the light on her finger, your breath catching in your throat, "Goodnight, Miss Lestrange."
She smiled, "Goodnight."
And with that, you left his office, tears beginning to swell in your eyes. So you went to the only place you knew that you could be alone: a small, hole in the wall restaurant around the corner.
When you reached the restuarant, you bitterly asked for a table for one. Ordering a plate of rice and a cup of green tea, you sat down at a small table tucked in the corner.
You were lost without him, maybe even a bit broken. But you'd find your way again, you just wished that he had wanted you, too.

The Dead Stay Dead
Theseus Scamander x witch!reader
Strangers to lovers, Major character death warning
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
Jacob Kowalski is nothing if not willing to expand his beliefs about the world. So when he hears Theseus and Newt talking about Leta… well, he suggests the cards.
After all, his mother had the skill and hers always seemed to come out weirdly right in ways you didn’t expect it.
You can see the dead, and even though the wizards standing before you would classify you as a muggle, you and your ancestors are magick practitioners, through and through.
The cards tell you anything you ask, but that doesn’t mean it’s always what the patrons want to hear as the answers to their questions.
Usually, the people coming into the tarot shop your mother runs are there for a laugh. Sometimes they’re here already looking for a specific answer.
Will he marry me?
Does she love me?
Is my loved one waiting for me on the other side?
Typical, run of the mill questions. The type of questions you didn’t have to pick up the cards to answer, really. It’s like they’re thinking so hard that the answer appears scrawled in charcoal in front of their face.
You’ve never had a wizard come looking for answers in a tarot shop before.
There’s firsts for everything.
Jacob Kowalski is nothing if not willing to expand his beliefs about the world. So when he hears Theseus and Newt talking about Leta… well, he suggests the cards.
After all, his mother had the skill and hers always seemed to come out weirdly right in ways you didn’t expect it.
“Hello, gentlemen. How can I, er, assist you?” You can smell the magic on the two brothers from almost down the street. Their third companion though was much shorter, and decidedly human.
“We’re here with some questions for your cards, if you have time.” the shorter man responds for the trio.
“Interesting. I do wonder what sort of question could bring two wizards and a human to my door.” You raise an eyebrow at them.
“Someone who’s,” one of the brothers begins but cuts himself short. He won’t meet your eyes. You wait patiently though; if it’s a question about a “someone”, your guess is someone has passed away they want to know about. An area where wizard magic was sorely lacking. Hmmph.
“We’re hoping you can check on someone for us, you know from the other side?” The shortest jumps in again, smiling a bit.
“Of course, I’d be happy to, Mr’s…” you pause, hoping for a name.
“Oh! Apologies, uh, I’m Jacob Kowalski, and this is Theseus,” he points to the taller brother, “and Newt.”
“Pleasure to meet you all. Come with me to the back parlor will you?”
You lead the way to the back, down the creaky hallway with its peeling paint, and into a room covered in runes. The lights are dimmed in the room more for a haunting effect than anything else, making the runes glow.
Once seated around the table, you pull cards from a space beneath the table.
“What questions did you come here looking for answers for?” You spread the cards out smoothly in an arc in front of you.
There is a pause. A weight is in the air. All three of these men know what they wish to ask, however refuse to voice it.
How heavy a weight it must be, then.
“Ask, for the cards cannot help otherwise.”
“Can the dead be returned?”
You smile a sad and ancient smile. “The dead stay dead, Theseus Scamander. Or an incomprehensible toll will be exacted.”
“But you can see them, can’t you?”
“You do not want to see them,” you whisper. “They are past the veil now, you do not want to see them. They are not the same as they once were, don’t call the dead.”
You see her then.
A young woman, eyes a dark yawning pool, a hand placed on each Scamander brother’s shoulder.
“Hello Leta.” you say gently. “Why have you not passed on?”
The room darkens and chills, Leta screams a terrible scream that only you can hear, though it shatters all the glass in the room, startling your guests all the same.
You hear your mother yelling on the upper floor of the house, running footsteps down the main stair as she races for the back room.
“Leta please help me understand.”
You place your cards to the side, instead holding out a hand to her. She doesn’t move, rather appears in a mist at your side, right by your ear and leaning in to whisper.
Her nails are sharp talons, you can see whatever anger she has held onto in death.
“He. Must. Die.” The words are a whisper, raising the hair on your arms.
“Who, Leta?” But it must have taken too much energy to speak, because her form disappears even from your view.
You look blankly at these three men who have come into your parlor. What sort of danger were they in? What sort of danger were they?

Theseus Scamander x reader
✨Love is magical✨
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9 | Part 10| Part 11|
Without missing a beat, Theseus broke away from Leta’s hug to chase after you immediately and Newt followed suit. “Im really sorry Leta, I’ll explain later” said Newt. “Y/n”!!! “Y/n!!!” “Y/n”!!! Theseus yelled your name so many times while running after you that people began to stare at him. You didn’t notice as your mind was spiraling. Sitting there in the alley way you gradually began to come to. You could hear Theseus and Newt turning the same corner. You got up quickly and apparated back to your home. You could’ve stayed…you could’ve told Theseus how you were feeling…but your heart just couldn’t….it was shattered. You made up your mind, Theseus should be with his fiancé, it would make everything easier than having to hear what he wanted. In reality though, you were just tremendously scared…scared that Theseus would have made the same decision you made. You sat on your living room floor a crying mess, in a flash all the memories of you and Theseus started flooding your mind: from the night you met on the trolley, to going to your Great Aunts, to spending Christmas together, making love, roaming Hogwarts and the wizarding world. All those memories made your heart skip a beat, they were lovely. Yet a profound heaviness weighed on you from having to say goodbye to the man you love…you felt empty.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
“Where in the bloody hell did she run off to?!” Theseus yelled, frustrated and angry that you had to deal with this situation. This was the last thing Theseus wanted. Sure he was happy that Leta wasn’t dead but he didn’t want her romantically. He wasn’t in love with Leta, in fact he never was in love with her, he was in love with you, you and you only. His heart couldn’t bare the pain of how you must’ve felt. He was immensely upset with himself for hurting you, even though he didn’t do anything to actually hurt you, he still felt like it was his fault. Newt tried to calm his brother down, but it wasn’t working. So they both apparated to your home, thinking they would start looking for you there.
You heard a popping noise and look up to see Theseus and Newt in your kitchen. Theseus runs over to you and holds you tightly. “Theseus, I think it’s best that you leave” you say while he wipes the tears from your eyes. “I’m sorry but I can’t do that” he holds you even tighter, caressing your back. “Y/n, you mean everything to me, I thought I knew what love was before I met you, but I was wrong. Darling, you make my heart bigger, and my world brighter. I can’t imagine myself without you. You are my world, I’m in love with you, and only you,” Theseus proclaims with his cracking raspy voice, eyes filled with tears he grabs your face and kisses you with such a deep passion it was as if his love was transferring into your body, an energetic exchange that made you feel so much better, it was mending your broken heart back into it’s healed place.
You step back from Theseus and grab his hands, holding them firmly, lifting them up to your face. “Theseus, I love you, so so much, and I want you to be happy, no matter what, no matter how much it hurts me. Which is why I’m letting you go, you should be with Leta. She is your fiancé after all and well I can’t stand in your way,” tears stream down your face as you express yourself. Theseus felt like you stabbed him in the chest a million times over, those were not the words he was longing to hear, but he snapped out of his self pity in order to fight for you. “None sense!! How can you say such things? I won’t stand for it! How can you not see that I don’t want Leta! Why do you think I’m standing here before you. I want you y/n! I am unequivocally, undoubtably, and whole heartedly in love with you!” Theseus was yelling at this point, his arms flailing every which way as he spoke, his voice still raspy from being emotionally overwhelmed. You didn’t know what the right thing to do was anymore. So you did the most logical (or really not logical) thing you could think of. You ran outside to the nearest park as fast as you could, Theseus of course chases after you but this time Newt stops him. “Theseus if I may, maybe I can get through to her.”
You were sitting on the park bench about a half mile from your home. Your mind was sporadic again leaving you ever so confused. You didn’t hear Newt as he quietly walked up and sat next to you. “Y/n, I’m not much good at this type of thing but I do know love when I see it. Forgive me if I’m offending you in anyway but you seem like you have a middle head. I know your words to my brother were on the basis of moral grounds but believe me when I say Ive never seen him this way with anyone else, not even Leta. You know the woman I fancy, Tina, it took me a while to express how much she meant to me, and I regret not being more forthcoming with my feelings for her from the start” Newt speaks to you with a very caring soft voice, it soothed you a bit. “Oh Newt, thank you for your kind words. If I’m being honest I want nothing more than to be with Theseus but I don’t know if I’m making the right decision.” “Well y/n it is very seldom in life that we know we’re making the right decision for certain. The best we can do is follow our hearts” Newts voice turned into a whisper as he gazed into your eyes sweetly. It was in that moment that you decided to give love a chance again. Perhaps you were so scared to lose Theseus that you began pushing him away. “You’re right Newt….thank you….for everything.”
Theseus was standing in the dark some feet away from you and Newt. He heard the entire conversation and it warmed his heart to hear his brothers words. Theseus and Newt had indeed grown closer since the Grindelwald fiasco, they began understanding each other more, something Theseus had yearned for, for quite some time now. You gave Newt a big hug, you were so thankful for him that you couldn’t break away. “Mmm mmm” Theseus clears his throat walking up to you two. He reaches his hand out as you get up and then picks you up and twirls you around like he loved to do. Giggling you felt giddy again, what an emotional rollercoaster of a day for all of you. With your legs wrapped around his waist looking into Theseus’s eyes you whisper “I love you Theseus.” “I love you too y/n, I’m so sorry for everything you went through today, but I want you to know that I would never do anything to jeopardize us. I will never leave you, I will never stop loving you…..ever,” Theseus declares while placing a kiss on your forehead. The moment was perfect, Theseus felt like home, and Newt felt like family to you. Gratitude filled your heart for having such wonderful wizards in your life.
Without warning you all heard a popping noise and Leta appeared in front of you. You got down from being held by Theseus and whispered in his ear “I think you two should talk my love.” Theseus looked at you worried, “are you certain?” “Of course, you owe her an explanation Thes.” You and Newt walked back to your place to give them some space. Leta hastily walked up to Theseus “do you care to explain to me what’s going on?” Theseus took a deep breathe, “yes, I’m sorry Leta, after that night at your family’s tomb, it tore me apart that I lost you. You will always be someone I care for. You see, I thought what we had was true love, but I realized that I was wrong. I was never in love with you, and let’s face it, I don’t think you were ever in love with me either. I think it was just convenient for the both of us. I am in love now Leta….real love…and I want nothing more than for you to be happy and find your true love as well. It would be a great disservice to you if I continued on pretending.” Leta looked down, as much as it pained her to hear those words she knew Theseus was right. Leta loved Theseus but she was never in love with him. It struck her only then that she was still in love with Newt, Leta never wanted to admit this to herself. If she was being truthful, sadness overcame her because she knew she missed her chance with Newt. If only she had listened to her heart when the time was right. “I understand Theseus, I think we were both too scared to admit this before.” Leta slowly took off her engagement ring and placed it in Theseus’s hand. Theseus smiled at Leta “come, I want to introduce you to y/n, and I’m certain Newt would love to spend some time with you as well.”
You and Newt were drinking tea while he was explaining why it might be dangerous for you to try to swim with the kelpie. Newt stopped talking mid sentence and you saw Theseus and Leta walk in. It was a bit awkward at first but as the night went on you and Leta developed somewhat of a friendship. The four of you sat by the fire telling stories until about 2am. “Well id love to stay but I must get back to my flat” said Newt. “I’ll get going as well, Newt do you mind if I stay the night at your place?” Leta asked him. Newt was flustered, “um yeah sure I guess that would be fine.” You and Theseus looked at each other and giggled. You soon realized that Leta and Newt had quite a bit of history between them, and everything else made more sense to you. After they left Theseus wouldn’t stop staring at you smiling. “What Theseus?“ you giggle. “Im just happy is all. Happy I found you, happy to be in love with you, and happy you didn’t give up on us. Well you almost did, and quite frankly I would not have let that happen,” he chuckles. “Yeah, I’m happy too Thes” you say while getting lost in his eyes. “Now about that ministry job…”

Fantastic Beasts - The Secrets of Dumbledore semi-rant
I saw this movie yesterday and I have to say I'm very disappointed. It wasn't as bad as Crimes of Grindelwald, but it wasn't good either. Already the fact that I saw it only yesterday and not in theatres should be a bad sign. There was a time when I would have gone to the ends of the earth to see a movie set in the Harry Potter universe at the cinema. This time, I tried, found out they weren't showing it that night and said "oh, alright then, I'll do something else".
Also, I'm already forgetting half of what happened. It wasn't boring, but it wasn't gripping either. I paused it twice (TWICE! A HP movie!) to do other stuff. I'm reblogging and reposting the most visually pleasing parts of the film (which is a marvel to see, but that's probably its best quality), and that's it. Usually, I'm obsessed with the movies I've just watched, I look up theories, reviews, posts, reblogs, etc. For months if they're set in the harry potter universe.
There will be spoilers ahead.
Let's start with the good things:
the beasts. they are so beautiful and well done. cgi is mostly good, the way newt interacts with the animals he cares for is, as always, one of the best parts of the movie.
jacob's lines, which are always a delight
grindelwald - probably the best thing about the whole movie. i liked johnny depp, but i loved mads mikkelsen in the role. he and jude law have incredible chemistry.
on this note, grindeldore. oh, it was so good, and FINALLY warner brothers had the balls to call them for what they were. gay men in love. of course, it's too little too late, but at least it's a win.
the fighting scenes. there were many, and all wonderfully choreographed. too bad they were confusing af. what is that double, mirror dimension of sorts? no clue, it was never explained, it was a cheap attempt at making sure that the fights hurt no muggles or wizards and i hated it. it was never explained in harry potter, i think (maybe i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure) and while it looks great, i dislike it.
the parallel between the duel that killed ariana and when gellert tries to kill credence.
grindelwald as a seer.
the final scene.
that's basically it.
oh, everything and anything visual was great. except for maybe costumes but i'll talk about that later.
And now the bad stuff:
the writing. which is probably the worst thing ever to get wrong. the acting is good (except for eddie mumbling every single one of his lines which becomes annoying after a while), even great at times. but the writing is so bad.
i mean, jkr and steve kloves were the writers. and i know jkr has questionable views but she was never a bad writer. or better, she was never a bad novelist. i'm starting to think she sucks at screenplays.
the whole first part of the movie is useless. it's even explicitly stated inside the movie. well, that's bad writing my friends. if it was all for nothing, and no lessons/additional information that couldn't be read in a newspaper (i.e., grindelwald being allowed to run), then it's bad writing. it wasn't for the characters. it wasn't for the plot. so WHY DID YOU SHOW IT TO ME? when you could have saved time for more important things?
the movie is two hours and a half. after thirty minutes the wheels of the plot aren't even in motion. you would think that if the movie took its time it was to include meaningful dialogue and character development. but NOPE. it's for shenanigans like bunty and the trunks.
and i get their struggle, i do: fans want good duels and fighting scenes (and those are very good, especially the ones with Lalie and Gellert v. Albus). but fans also want the magical creatures. they want the beasts to have their space, and they need to show new ones. but then they also want grindeldore. alright, okay. let's show it. but what about good dialogues and high stakes? what about complex bidimensional characters? NOPE. no time for those.
this happens, of course, because there are TOO. MANY. USELESS. CHARACTERS. so many that, since they all need screen time, none of them gets explored in the right way. except maybe gellert.
nagini is gone. they don't even mention her. not even credence. not even when he talks with queenie, who can READ MINDS, so there was the perfect excuse to bring her up even if credence doesn't want to.
queenie is useless. i still don't understand why she joined grindelwald since she knows he hates muggles. while in his service she does NOTHING. she's not a double agent, she's not useful to either grindelwald or dumbledore. she's just there. of course i know they did this because they had to wrap things up in the end since there probably won't be a fourth movie, but couldn't they do it a little better?
maybe give her yusuf's screen time. since he's the worst character in terms of how he's written and he has no weight on the plot whatsoever. he doesn't have a mission, only has two scenes, isn't useful for the whole luggage subplot ... why is he even in this movie?
but at least, AT LEAST, they show him grieving for his sister (even though he just accepts to have his memories of her erased?? why was this done?? to show that gellert is bad? i mean, i think it's pretty obvious from the scene where he kills bambi...)
THESEUS you dick. why is he so happy? why is he not incoherent with grief? why does he not seethe with rage at the thought of leta, who he was going to marry? and not in the "ohi, you're under arrest "way. nono, in the blowing avada kedavras at vinda and grindelwald like a madman way. why doesn't he look sad and sombre?
they killed my leta FOR WHAT exactly? she was hands down the most complex character aside from grindeldore (which coincidentally are the only two whose story is actually told in the original saga). and maybe the single best performance on screen in all three movies. i don't get it. i hate it when female characters are killed off just to give male characters an origin story, but at least it gives them purpose. leta died just because. her death adds nothing to the story.
her replacement is lalie. now, i know that in this day and age god forbid you have a cast that is too white (you know, made up of witches and wizards from 1930 britain) and you need the token diversity character. it's irritating, but i get why they do it. i can forgive it. what i cannot forgive is how useless to the plot she is.
she was probably my favourite character of the whole movie, i enjoyed her sassiness and the way she used magic, but she is so. useless. why is she, or theseus, or yusuf, or jacob even, required for this mission? don't they all have jobs?? dumbledore needs to find a substitute teacher for his classes, porpentina is busy with work (AND SHE HAS THE SAME JOB TITLE AS THESEUS) so why are they all strolling about? i get newt and bounty, and maybe jacob since his bakery is in ruins, but what about the others?
more than that, what compels them to fight grindelwald? "Oh, it's the right thing to do!" NO YOU FOOLS, that's not enough. It's not compelling, it's BORING. especially when some of them have good reasons, in theory. theseus (and yusuf) lost leta. jacob lost queenie.
no idea why an american schoolteacher feels so touched by a german despot, but okay. i guess. she's nice but so bi-dimensional.
why do they need these people in particular? give me an "ocean's eleven" type of segment where you explain why these people and not 5 trained aurors.
dumbledore needs to send his own men because the ministry takes no stance like fudge did years later? because grindelwald has supporters in the british ministry that don't want this to happen? give me a scene where vinda goes to talk with her british cousins and gets them to support gellert and we see baby druella every reason is fine but there must be one.
the minerva mcgonagal cameo is useless. also, they didn't retcon what is clearly a mistake so... i hate it :)
vinda rosier gets 5 lines and no characterization whatsoever apart from being "pretty and evil". if she was less striking we probably wouldn't care about her as much. this woman has no motivations of her own, apparently. we don't even know what her relationship with grindelwald actually is.
and do not get me started on the other useless henchmen.
why do they force jacob to come along? why do they insist on putting a muggle in danger? albus is no seer but COME ON. we already saw grindelwald use people as scapegoats in the last movie, and it's clear he would do the same with jacob. "oh but he's a good man with courage" WHO CARES? are there no good men in 1930 england? where are all the brave gryffindors ffs?
it does NOT work. you know what would? JACOB wanting to go. JACOB demanding to go, because he hasn't given up on queenie and he wants to "save" her.
was it to confuse grindelwald? it doesn't work, because there isn't one (1) scene where he looks shocked, or even perplexed at the sight of a muggle with a wand.
and what about the whole thing with the tie? how could dumbledore know that theseus was going to get captured? even if he could predict that, you seriously want me to believe he was basing his rescue plan off the niffler??
also, we never see newt activate the portkey in that moment and that is not how portkeys work.
the whole subplot with bunty and the luggage was stupid. we know that there's a spell that literally duplicates objects by creating perfect copies, so it's a useless waste of time. also, why doesn't she use the switch that sets it to "muggle mode"? we've seen newt do it before.
the two candidates for supreme mugwump are absolutely the same. they have no personality and are just namesakes.
the german minister of magic contradicts himself more than once in the film. i watched his scenes twice and i still don't understand his motives. there must be a cut scene or something because one minute he implies that he doesn't like grindelwald and the next he's chilling with him and his men. he openly says that he thinks GG will lose just as he sees him arriving by means of crowd-surfing. it's not like he turns a blind eye and that is why gellert wins. no, the man actively enables him and helps him. WHY?! have vinda or even yusuf put him under the imperius curse ffs!
how do credence and aberforth have communicating mirrors? no idea. it's never explained.
why is the phoenix dying because credence is dying? phoenixes have their own independent cycle of life and rebirth. we see this with fawkes. otherwise, why isn't fawkes dying when dumbledore is in book 6? it's never explained.
This all comes down to the main problem of the movie: this movie has no dialogues. seriously, all they do is duel and say vague things like "the plan is no plan". fuck off. they don't even state clearly why the plan is no plan, they say vague stuff, the characters acknowledge it's confusing and then they laugh about it.
SPOILER: even if you acknowledge your mistakes in the story itself ("oh, we don't know what to do against grindelwald" or "oh, we're back where we started ahaha") it DOESN'T MAKE IT GOOD. actually, it makes it worse. it's just lazy writing.
Nothing is explained to the audience because the movie uses "show not tell" to the extreme. fine, don't tell, but please at least give a name to what we're seeing. good stories are character-driven. this one is not.
seriously, none of them has one good dialogue, that isn't full of clichés.
finally, one last thing that really bothered me. why why why are they all dressed like muggles? the costumes look amazing - my personal favourite was eulalie's gold evening gown - but WHY are they all dressed like muggles? yes, there is a little outfit change for eulalie when she goes to pick up jacob that maybe should underline the differences between wizard and muggle clothing - there are none.
albus dumbledore and gellert grindelwald should all be donning the most campy over-the-top wizard robes. why would grindelwald ever be dressed like a muggle? it doesn't make sense, especially since albus is described more than once as being ignorant of muggle clothing rules. alright, he's younger here, but how is it that he and gellert don't look even a little out of place at the beginning of the movie?
don't get me wrong, i think the costumes are absolutely beautiful and i would kill to have them in any other film BUT THIS ONE. because they don't fit the characters at all. all of these wizards dressed like muggles, i don't get it.
the worst offender of all, imo is pureblood dark witch vinda rosier who dresses in a suit to a fancy wizard party. her outfit is amazing and high fashion and exactly my style... i adore it. i, a muggle, would definitely wear it. the question is- why would she?
Tumblr media
This is what I strive to look like at social gatherings. I want this to be me and my future husband. I just don't think it's the right look for them.

Salty Tea
*Theseus Scamander, Leta Lestrange, and Tina Goldstein enter the break room of the Ministry of Magic. They chat happily as Theseus makes them tea.*
*Just then, Gunnar Grimmson saunters in, humming merrily. He opens the cupboard and grabs a teapot and teacup.*
Theseus: Well, you're certainly in a good mood today, Grimmson.
Grimmson: Yes, indeed! My darling's break will be starting soon. I thought I’d surprise her with her favorite tea.
Leta: You don't have a girlfriend.
Grimmson: *turning to Leta* YET. I don't have her YET. Slowly but surely, it'll happen.
Theseus: *politely* Well, I wish you all the best.
Grimmson: *grabs a teaspoon from the drawer* Yeah yeah.
*Grimmson goes to the cupboard by the fridge to get sugar as Newt Scamander, Theseus’s younger brother, walks in. Newt opens the fridge, accidentally hitting Grimmson with it as Grimmson was about to grab the sugar container.*
Grimmson: *turning to Newt* Hey! Are you blind? Watch it.
Newt: *mutters* Sorry.
*Newt quickly grabs the carton of milk and proceeds to get what he needed to make himself some tea.*
*Grimmson's hand, which had been right in front of the sugar container until he got hit by the fridge door, accidentally moved in front of the salt container. Distracted by the sudden hit, he accidentally retrieved the salt container and took it to the counter. He started to make the tea.*
Theseus: Newt!
*Newt turns around. Theseus, Tina, and Leta happily greet him, and he smiles and greets them back. Then, he starts to make his tea.*
*Theseus Leta, and Tina had been conversing when Theseus looks over at the ingredients that Grimmson was using. Theseus noticed the salt container in Grimmson’s hand, and his eyes widened.*
Theseus: *whispers to Tina and Leta and points at the counter where the ingredients are* Look, he used salt instead of sugar.
*Tina and Leta smile amusedly.*
Theseus: *to Grimmson* Hey, you put –
*Tina tugs on Theseus’s arm to quiet him. He looks at her as she smiles mischievously.*
Tina: *whispers* Why get involved? Let him make it.
Leta: *in a hushed voice* And enjoy the show afterwards.
*Grimmson looks over at them suspiciously; Newt, curiously. Leta and Tina look at Grimmson.*
Leta: We were just talking about how nice it is that you’re making her tea.
Tina: Yeah. She'll appreciate the sweet gesture.
Grimmson: I would think so. Anyways it's men’s job to take care of women. Both of you should be more like her instead of trying to pretend you’re like men.
*Grimmson turns back around to finish making the tea. Newt goes back to making his tea and shakes his head at Grimmson’s comment, annoyed. Tina and Leta roll their eyes and look back at Theseus, their eyes asking him to please not say anything and let Grimmson give the woman the salty tea. Theseus, who has spoken up numerous times against Grimmson’s misogyny only for it to go in one ear and out the other every time, gives a small sigh and nods to his friends.*
*When Newt’s tea is finished, Newt takes it and walks over to Theseus, Tina, and Leta. The women smile mischievously and whisper to Newt about what Grimmson did to the tea. Newt covers his mouth, stifling a laugh.*
*Grimmson takes the prepared tea and walks to the door, seductively.*
Grimmson: Mary, I thought I’d surprise you with your favorite drink!
*Tina, Newt, and Leta gasp as Theseus smiles like a child on Christmas Day.*
Leta: It's for Mary?!?! Mary Anderson? Oh God.
Newt: We’ve got to stop Grimmson.
Tina: *yells* Mary—-
*Theseus tugs on Tina’s arm to silence her.*
Theseus: *points his wand at the three of them* None of you say a word. Let her drink it.
*They look at him incredulously.*
Theseus: What? She had it coming.
Leta: Theseus!
Theseus: Oh come on. She didn't like that I was chosen over her for the Head Auror position! She's been retaliating against me for it.
Leta: Yeah, but she's my boss.
Tina: She's not my boss, but pranking her could make her more mad.
Newt: I agree.
Theseus: Neither of you put the salt in her tea. And neither did I. We’ll be fine! Salt won't kill her.
*Theseus walks out the door, smiling excitedly. Tina, Newt, and Leta look at each other and follow him to Mary’s office.*
*Theseus stands at the edge of the door, peeking inside eagerly. Leta, Newt, and Tina walk into view.*
Leta: *loudly* You know, it's interesting. Salt is so universal in cooking, even in drinks. It improves the flavor in so many things.
*As Leta talks, Tina and Newt motion with their hands to not drink the tea. Mary and Grimmson look at the four people in the doorway, confused.*
Leta: However, it doesn’t make everything taste good.
*Theseus glares at Leta before turning back to Mary.*
Leta: As a matter of fact, it’ll make some things taste worse!
*As Leta talks, Theseus looks at Mary his eyes begging her to not understand what Leta, Tina, and Newt were trying to tell her and to just take a sip.*
Leta: Salt and sugar look the same. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference just by looking at it, but you could by tasting it. But is that really a risk worth taking?
*Mary looks at the tea Grimmson had given her and starts to laugh, finally getting it.*
Grimmson: What is it?
Mary: Nothing. Nothing.
*Torquil Travers, Theseus’s boss, walks into Anderson’s office.*
Mary: Mr. Travers!
Travers: Mary! How are you doing?
Mary: Very well, thank you. Gunnar just made me some tea. I haven't had it yet. Why don't you try it?
*Theseus gasps as Leta, Newt, and Tina push him away from the door. The four of them speed away from Mary’s office.*
Travers: *to Mary* No, of course not. He made it specifically for you.
Mary: And while I do appreciate that, I just had some tea a little while ago. I think I'm good for now. Maybe he can make it again a different day. I'm sure he'd be fine if you had it. You look like you’ve been having a tiring day.
Travers: *smiles* That I have. Alright, if you insist.
*Travers sits down and takes a sip of the tea. His smile disappears.*
Grimmson: What is it?
*The liquid remains in Travers's mouth for a little bit. He looks at Grimmson in horror.*
*Travers eyes Grimmson and thinks You mad man. You can't even get this right. You'll never be able to get married.*
Grimmson: Say something, Mr. Travers!
 *Travers forces himself to swallow the tea in his mouth. His eyes clamp shut in disgust.*
Travers: It’s…um…
Grimmson: No matter. *He takes the tea from Travers.* It's for Mary, anyway.
Grimmson: *to Mary* Just drink from the opposite side of where he drunk.
Travers: *as he grabs the cup* No, I think it's better if she doesn't take it. I think she'd prefer it with sugar anyway.
Grimmson: I put sugar in it!
Travers: No, you didn’t, you idiot! You put salt in it!
*Mary bites her lip, stifling a laugh.*
Grimmson: I did?
Travers: Yes!
Grimmson: …Oh…
Travers: *to Mary* I'll do you a favor and dump this out.
*Mary nods to him amusedly. He gets up, takes the cup, and heads to the break room.*
Mary: Thanks anyway, Gunnar.
*Grimmson gives her an embarrassed smile.*

At the end of FB2 Leta looks at the Scamander brothers and says “I love you”, there’s been a lot of argument about who she was talking to but nobody seems to think it might be both of them. To be honest I have no idea which brother Leta loved platonically and which she loved romantically, that part was super unclear to me. Anyways I would love it if someone could send me some of the arguments about this cause quite honestly I find this aspect of the movie really interesting and frustrating
