They don’t expect conversation, they don’t judge his silences, and their behavior can usually be explained with enough careful observation. Then a transfer student arrives at Hogwarts and is sorted into Hufflepuff. At first, Newt tells himself there’s nothing particularly unusual about you. You’re simply another student finding your place in an unfamiliar castle. And yet, somehow, he keeps finding himself nearby—watching from across the common room, noticing little things he never meant to notice, and becoming increasingly curious about the person behind the unfamiliar face. The more time he spends around you, the less certain he becomes of what exactly has caught his attention. He can’t quite explain why he notices when you enter a room, why he remembers the smallest things you say, or why he seems to find himself looking for you without meaning to. And for perhaps the first time, Newt finds himself faced with something he can’t simply observe from a safe distance. Something—or perhaps someone—he doesn’t seem to mind getting closer to. ⊹───────⟢───────⊹
