Newton Scamander or simply Newt was returning home from yet another trip in the field. Newt felt slightly sore, but he was not that hurt in his eyes. However, the people that watch the young wizard look at him concerned. The young wizard was limping as he got off the boat, but Newt did not care. For as long as he can walk he'll be fine. Newt was walking home looking down to the pavement. Newt let out a sigh when he got to his home at last. "Home," he breathed as he sat down on his small bed and closed his eyes for a minute. Newt fell asleep in two minutes.
Newt did not want to wake when he heard a knock on his front door. "Newt?' Newt did not open his eyes at the voice. The voice was his older brother. His booming voice hurt his ears. Newt did not need to open his eyes to tell that Theseus opened the door and stepped inside. "Newt?" Newt did not wake however when his brother called him. "Newton, wake up," Newt did not wake. This made the war hero panic. "Newt?!" Newt's eyes opened very slowly.
"Theseus? What?" Newt started to cough.
"Newt?" Theseus put a hand on his little brother's forehead. "You have a fever. Are you hurt also?" Newt shook his head but Theseus did not buy it. "Newt?" his little brother sighed and nodded not saying a word. Theseus sighed and pulled out his wand and muttered a spell. "Newt what happened?" Newt did not say anything. However, Newt pointed to his throat. "Ah, crap. Newt what happened please," Newt sighed and cleared his throat.
"Just, just sore brother. I'm fine. Don't worry about me," Newt choked out. However, Theseus did not buy this.
"I'm worried about you! Newton, your hurt!" Theseus boomed hurting Newt's ears. Theseus sighed and looked to his little brother who fell asleep. Theseus smiled sadly at his little brother. "Get so rest little brother," Theseus went to get the paper leaving his little brother asleep.
Newt woke only an hour later. He started to laugh but that only made him wince in pain. Theseus, of course, heard his little brother and walked into the living room. "Newt," Newt sighed at the sound of worry in his brother's voice.
"I'm fine," Newt said weakly as he opened his eyes to see his brother walk up to him.
"No your not. Newton, why don't you let me take care of you?" Newt stayed quiet but Theseus could tell that he wanted to say something. "You can tell me Newt, I won't be mad at you," Newt looked up at him weakly and sighed.
"Last time I was sick, or, or hurt was when father was still in our lives. He did not help me. So since that day, I told myself to take care of myself and never tell anyone what's bugging me. I can take care of myself," Theseus nodded then he sighed.
"Newton, I'm your older brother. That's my job. Now let's check you out," Newt sighed and allowed his brother to look at him. Theseus made a hissing noise when he was done. "What the hell were you doing Newton? When we got the travel ban lifted, I thought you said you'll be careful," Theseus said with a rare look of sadness and fear in his eyes. Newt sighed but did not say anything. "Newt what did you do, tell me please," Theseus pleaded. Newt closed his eyes as pain went through him. Then he opened them and looked to the ceiling.
"I really don't remember Thee sorry," Newt said voice getting weaker. Theseus looked at his brother with worry displayed on his face.
"Wait, wait. You don't remember what happened? Do you remember what happened when you got home?" Theseus asked in a panicked voice, Newt met his eyes for a minute before he shook his head.
"I-I remember getting off the boat, but I don't remember anything else. Why are you in my house or am I in yours?" Newt said with fear in his voice. Theseus nodded trying to keep calm for his little brother.
"Your-Your in your house little brother. We can get through this. I'll make some floo calls. Don't worry," Theseus hugged Newt which made him wince in pain. Theseus, however, did not see this. Newt let out a breath when Theseus released him. This Theseus saw. "Oh, sorry. I forgot you don't like hugs," Newt smiled a little and closed his eyes and fell asleep once again. Theseus looked at him with a worried look on his face.
Newt woke again, only this time with a scream. It was a loud one. It was so loud that it woke Theseus who was still asleep. Theseus opened his eyes and after a while, in a sleepy daze, Theseus ran to where he heard his little brother's scream. "Newton!?" The war hero called as he walked up to his brother. However, the looked Newt gave him made him worry. "Artemis?" Theseus said as he sat down using Newt's first middle name. Newt looked up at him and smiled.
"What? Oh, sorry, I did not see you there. I have a question, who's Artemis?" Theseus stopped breathing for a second.
"That's-that's your middle name, well one of them. You don't remember?" Theseus was breathing again but he was breathing harder.
"I have more than one?" Newt asked getting worried. "Why don't I remember that? Theseus I don't remember that," Newt started to panic as he looked helplessly at his older brother.
"Okay Newt calm down, we can get through this. Can you tell me what you were doing on your trip?" Theseus asked. Newt thought for a minute which made Theseus more nervous.
"I was in New York with Tina and Jacob. I don't remember why I was there. What's happening to me? Theseus I need to know," Newt's voice broke in the end. This broke Theseus's heart.
"I don't know Newton but I can find out. I flooed a healer after you fell asleep," Newt nodded and looked up at him.
"When is he coming?" Newt asked as he tried to sit up but he winced. Theseus put his hand on Newt's chest and gently pushed him down.
"Soon and stay down. Your very hurt and have a small fever," Newt sighed and looked at his case.
"Could you write a letter for me?" Newt asked with a small smile on his face. Theseus nodded as he got off his chair and went over to the desk and pulled out a quill and looked over to Newt who nodded. "Dear Bunty," Theseus nodded and wrote what his little brother said: "Can you come over and take care of the beasts for a few days," Theseus nodded again and wrote. "Sadly I won't be able to, long story that I do not remember,
Your boss,
Newt Scamander," Theseus wrote the last part and looked at his brother whose eyes were closed. Theseus sighed and folded the paper and called Newt's owl.
"Take this to Newt's assistant please," Theseus said to the owl and watched the bird fly out the window. Then he sighed and took the paper off the table and sat down next to his sleeping little brother. "Don't worry Newt the healer will be here soon," Theseus said to his sleeping brother who might not have heard him but still. Theseus fell asleep as he read the paper.
