Certainly not to a rare magical hatchling that seems to have decided, almost immediately, that you and Newt Scamander are its people. The little creature follows you both everywhere, refuses to settle unless you’re nearby, and becomes remarkably distressed whenever one of you disappears for too long. Before either of you can figure out what to do about it, you’re sharing feeding schedules, taking turns with midnight care, and learning exactly which sounds mean hungry, frightened, or I’ve decided to chew on this. Somehow, the arrangement works. Newt is patient and endlessly knowledgeable. You’re good at the things he overlooks. Together, you become the little creature’s entire world without ever meaning to. Unfortunately, one of Newt’s other creatures seems to have noticed something neither of you has. Suddenly, you’re constantly being nudged together, followed into the same room, handed things that could easily have been carried to either of you separately, and repeatedly finding yourselves in increasingly suspicious situations. Newt begins to notice the pattern. He also begins to suspect that his mischievous companion isn’t simply trying to help with the hatchling. And while you’re both busy figuring out how you somehow became a family, the creatures around you seem to have already decided what kind of family you ought to be. ⊹───────⟢───────⊹
