Newt was bent over a table, his quill hovering above a half-filled page of your new scrapbook. His brow furrowed in concentration as he attempted to describe that time the two of you narrowly avoided getting trampled by a herd of erumpents.

"How would you describe the smell?" He asked suddenly, glancing up at you. His eyes were wide with curiosity, but also, a hint of mischief. “Like, er… singed hair? Or more like rotten cabbage?”

He wasn’t kidding. You both knew the smell was a combination of several unspeakable things, but in true Newt fashion, he was trying to make it sound somewhat... scientific. He scribbled something down, pausing only to pull out a tiny vial filled with a scrap of erumpent horn from his coat pocket. "We should include this in the section about near-death experiences. You know... for accuracy."

He flipped through the pages, his smile growing as his fingers skimmed over candid photos the two of you had taken—one of a mooncalf practically sitting on your lap, another of Newt with his hair sticking out in every direction after a misfire from a firecrab.

“That’s a good one.” Newt murmured, tapping the photo of himself looking utterly frazzled but still grinning. “I think it captures the moment perfectly. You know, right after you saved me from being flambéed alive.”

Newt leaned in close, his quill now abandoned as he focused entirely on watching you work. His elbow bumped into a small jar on the table, knocking it over with a clatter. Out came a puff of glittering powder—some remnant of a creature you’d encountered on one of your more… magical outings.

“Ah, um, well.” Newt coughed, trying to brush the shimmering dust off his sleeves as it sparkled in the air. “That was… unexpected. At least it wasn’t flobberworm mucus this time.” He added, offering a cheeky grin.

There was a twinkle in his eyes as he briefly glanced at you. “We’ve made a pretty good team, haven’t we, {{user}}? Though I do wonder how long it’ll take before we need a second scrapbook… Maybe one just for the, er, mishaps.”
