《Desire [Newt Scamander]》Inside the case
Advertisement
Evelyn falls though the case bumping herself on a wooden step ladder on the way down and much to her delight Newt is there to catch her.
"Sorry, i didn't see the steps" Evelyn looks down at her hands embarrassed as Newt gently puts her down. His hand is on the small of her back and he looks down at her.
"You intrigue me" He mutters as a slight blush rushes softly across Evelyn's cheeks as she begins to look around her surroundings.
They're in a wooden shed with rickety wooden tables, various plants, and bits of loose parchment.
There's a camp bed in the corner and wooden cupboards overflowing with rope, nets, jars and bottles.
A very old looking typewriter and a few battered books sit on top of the desk along with more pieces of parchment.
Moving photos of various creatures lay on top of open maps, surrounded by drawings and notes scattered all about.
Newt smiles at the amazement on Evelyn's face, "Wait till you see the beasts" Newt says a bigger smile breaking out.
"I can see them?" Evelyn says rather excitedly.
"Of course but first i must prepare a mixture for Mr Kowalski, would you fetch him for me?"
Evelyn nods and this time makes sure to grip onto the ladder watching her step as she heads up.
"Just beckon him with your hands, saves you having to go all the way up" Newt calls to her as Evelyn reaches her arm up beckoning for Jacob.
"Will he come?" Evelyn questions but she doesn't hear an answer due to Jacobs foot causing her to topple down the ladder Jacob not far behind.
They both fall on the floor with huge thud Newt not there to catch her this time"
"Well that hurt" Evelyn says clutching her head as it throbs slightly.

"Sorry" Jacob says awkwardly trying to stand up. Newt turns around.
"Would you sit down?" he asks before coming over an examining the bite on his neck.
"Ah that's definitely the Murtlap. You must be particularly susceptible . See you're a muggle so out physiologies are subtly different." Newt then begins to busy himself again using plants and the contents from various bottles to create what known as a 'Poultice'.
He then walks over to Jacob and rapidly dabs as his neck with mixture.
"Now that should stop the sweating" Newt hands Jacob some pills and glass of water in a clay cup.
"And one of those should sort the twitch." Jacob suspiciously eyes the pills in his hand but swallows all the same.
Newt goes over to Evelyn undoing his bow tie and taking of his waistcoat as he crouches down in-front of her.
"You okay? Bit of bump to your head." He lightly grazes his hand on her forehead causing Evelyn's cheeks to heat up.
"Um yes i'm okay, i'm pretty clumsy so i'm use to it" Evelyn smiles at him trying to control herself from turning too red in the face.
Newt gets up and grabs a meat cleaver putting onto his workshop desk and hacking it into pieces surprisingly rather violently that it causes Jacob and Evelyn to become startled.
He turns round a sheepish smile on his face as he throws the meat into a bucket handing it to Jacob. "take that" to which a confused Jacob does.
Newt beckons for Evelyn to come over to him where he stand holding a small vile and a weird shaped cocoon.
"Hold this if you wouldn't mind" and he passes the vile to Evelyn. She grasps the vile in her hand rather tightly worried that she may drop it.

Newt places his hand onto hers "It's okay it not going to break, unless you hold it like that of course" he gives her a smile.
Evelyn laughs lightly "Sorry, i'll hold it more gently."
He then begins to squeeze the cocoon gently as a blue liquid seeps put into the vile
"This is a Swooping Evil, not quite the friendliest of names. It's quite an agile fellow." Newt flicks the cocoon to which it unravels dangling rather elegantly from his finger.
Evelyn look at it in awe, unsure what exactly it does but the blue liquid is extremely beautiful.
Newt looks at her before saying "I've been studying him. And i'm pretty sure his venom could be quite useful...if properly diluted. Just to remove bad memories, you know." Evelyn nods admiring the way he talks about the swooping evil in a caring tone, a look of happiness can be seen as his eyes study the cocoon rather intently.
Quiet suddenly Newt throws the cocoon towards Jacob releasing a bat like spiked colorful creature it howls into Jacob's terrified face.
Evelyn laughs getting that this is Newt's idea of a joke as he recoils it smiling widely. "Probably shouldn't let him loose in here though." Jacob responds with a look of shock as he attempts to steady his heartbeat with a hand on his chest.
"Come on then" Newt smiles at them excitement clear on his face as he opens the door of his shed and walks out.
Evelyn too walks out followed by a startled Jacob thinking to himself how in the world is there more?
