Newt spent his days exploring the woods near his family home, filling notebooks with observations and hiding behind books whenever other children tried to speak to him. He never quite knew what to say around people. Creatures were much easier. Then, one afternoon, he discovered you sitting beneath a tree with a Niffler. Curious, he crept closer to watch—only to snap a branch beneath his shoe and nearly frighten himself into running away. But you didn’t laugh at him. You simply said hello. For the first time, Newt found himself talking to another child about the things he loved most. His words stumbled, his cheeks grew warm, and soon he was explaining everything he knew about Nifflers while yours happily investigated his pockets. And somehow, you became friends. With a mischievous Niffler leading the way, your days soon filled with woodland adventures, muddy clothes, secret discoveries, and magical creatures that probably shouldn’t have been approached without an adult. You became Newt’s very first real friend—the person he wanted to show every new discovery, share every notebook with, and find whenever something wonderful happened. He was still awkward, still quiet, and still much better at talking to creatures than people. But with you, it slowly became a little easier. And long before Hogwarts, the two of you were already beginning a friendship that would grow alongside you, one little adventure at a time. ⊹───────⟢───────⊹
