Newt Scamander Preferences

When Newt Is Expelled * New Plotline After Tomorrow's Chapter *

"Ah," the Headmaster greeted the young male. "Mr Scamander. Thank you for joining me."

Newt paused before the elderly male, somewhat intimidated by the superior faculty member.

Noticing his hesitation, he smiled warmly. "Please, take a seat, won't you? I promise this won't take long."

Newt hastily sat in the pump, velvet chair, opposite the male's desk. Hands folded on his lap, Newt waited patiently for him to continue speaking.

"So I take it that you know about (Miss/Mr/Your Choice) (y/l/n)'s current condition?"

The auburn-haired boy nodded, not trusting his voice. He felt liable to cry at any moment, and would prefer not to in front of the Head of Hogwarts.

"I understand that this may be difficult for you to converse about but I'm sure you can understand the severity of the situation."

Again, Newt nodded, feeling sick to his stomach.

"Details of what exactly transpired after you both got separated, are still rather sparse. From my understanding, you are close to (Miss/Mr/Your Choice), are you not?"

Nod.

"I am aware that (Miss/Mr/Your Choice) was attacked by a creature in the Forbidden Forest. Why exactly were you both in an area banned to students?"

The boy shrugged, imagining you lying in the hospital bed, alone. He needed to be with you. As much as he wanted to help the Headmaster, Newt wanted to be by your side more.

"Mr Scamander, please verbally answer this question rather than nodding, why were you both alone in the forest tonight?"

This question hurt the most, as he pictured you stumbling around, terrifed of what you may come face to face with. It was all his fault, Newt thought painfully. His heart skipped a beat. The butterflies in his stomach now tearing the lining to shreads.

"I..." he started, tears already pricking his eyes. "I wanted them to see the world as I see it. I wanted (y/n) to see the wonders that I have observed on many occasions."

That was it. That was all he wanted to do, let you into his small world and experience the joys that he did.

"I see." the elder male responded, pondering on Newt's response. "Mr Scamander, Newt, you do realise what consequences endangering another student entails?"

Oh gosh, the boy thought, this is it.

"As much as I wish that I could bend the rules on this one particular occassion, I just can't." the Headmaster paused. "Mr Scamander, I'm afraid that you can no longer attend Hogwarts as a student. As of tomorrow, you are hereby expelled from this school. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Yes, Newt thought, his heart shattering into a million pieces. It meant that not only had he hurt you but he had most certainly ruined his life.
