Chapter 2 Tea Time
Chapter 2 Tea Time
Clang!
During his time in the real world back on Earth, Newt had learned to adapt to many situations. He learned many skills from other wizards, as well as muggles, that no one at Hogwarts knew. However, nothing could have prepared him for the most difficult, and tedious, challenge he had ever faced since coming to Equestria; lifting a tea cup up to your mouth without any fingers or thumbs. So far, he had managed to drop his cup a total of 6 times and only spilled twice.
“Do you need some help, Mr. Scamander”? Fluttershy asked, worried and slightly entertained at his struggle.
“I’m quite alright”, Newt said stubbornly as he fumbled with the cup, “And it’s Newt”.
Newt hissed as, once again, he felt the hot beverage splash onto his wrist, lightly staining the cuff of his white shirt.
“Bugger”, Newt muttered, “Not again”.
“Are you alright”?? Fluttershy asked, rushing over to his side and taking his hoof in hers.
“Yes, yes, just a little stain”, Newt replied.
As she held his hoof, Newt couldn’t help but take note of how soft hers were. They felt as soft as silk and were warm like bread from the oven. He suddenly snapped out of his thoughts as he remembered a Charm that would remedy the situation. After relinquishing his grasp from the yellow Pegasus, he trotted over to the coat rack, reached into one of the inner pockets, and slowly pulled out his wand.
“What’s that”?? Fluttershy said, trotting over to where Newt was.
“My wand”, Newt said, trying to hold it.
“A wand? Oh, are you some sort of magician”?? Fluttershy asked.
“Heheheh, not exactly”, Newt said with a chuckle, “I’m a wizard”.
“Ohhh, I’ve never really met a wizard before”, Fluttershy said in fascination, “Well, umm, except for maybe Twilight but she’s not really a wizard, per se, she’s just talented with magic”.
“Interesting”, Newt thought, “The beings here practice magic as well. Maybe there’s more to learn from this place than I thought”.
Newt brought his wand back over to the table and then aimed it at his cup.
“Wingardium Leviosa”, He said, waving his wand over the cup.
To the young wizard’s surprise, nothing happened.
“Maybe my voice wasn’t clear enough”, he said, clearing his throat, “Ahem! Wingardium Leviosa”.
Once again, nothing happened.
“Bollocks! Why isn’t this working”?!?! Newt shouted, shaking his wand.
“Um, I hate to break your concentration but, might I make a suggestion”? Fluttershy interjected.
“Yeah, what is it”?? Newt asked in a frustrated tone.
The young Hufflepuff suddenly realized his folly as he saw Fluttershy’s hurt expression.
“Sorry about that”, He said, bowing his head, “Go on, luv. What were you going to say”?
“Well, I was just going to suggest that, since you’re a unicorn and all, then why not use your horn”?
“My horn”? Newt repeated out of confusion.
Newt casted his gaze up at the horn protruding out of his cranium.
“So the unicorns can harness magic with their horns”, Newt thought, “Fascinating. I just may write a new book if I ever get back to my world”.
“Uhhh, Mr. Sca….I mean, Newt”?
Newt soon realized that he had become lost in his thoughts again.
“Hmm? Oh, sorry. Did it again, didn’t I”?
Newt cleared his throat and put his wand away. As he aimed his horn at the cup, he remembered one of the key traits to performing magic; discipline and concentration. Putting all his energy and focus into it, he took a deep breath and then slowly let out a long sigh as he pointed his horn towards the cup once more.
“Wingardium Leviosa”, He muttered with an ample amount of conviction.
Instantly, his horn emitted a bright purple glow. Newt’s tea cup also glowed purple as it slowly levitated up to his mouth. With the spell properly cast, Newt smiled confidently as he took a long sip from his cup.
“I’ve never seen a levitation spell like that before”, Fluttershy said in amazement, “Well, then again I’m not really too familiar with magic as my friend Twilight is”.
“I’m no ordinary unicorn”, Newt said plainly, “I must say, this tea’s splendid”.
“Oh, thank you. I’m glad you like it”, Fluttershy said.
Newt smiled at his hostess. As he looked at her, he felt as if there was something between them, like a bond of sorts. He certainly admired her affinity for animals. Something he related to through the bonds he shared with his creatures. He lost his train of thought as he felt a nudge against his leg. The young wizard looked down to see the same snow-white rabbit, poking at him.
“Yes? What is it”? Newt asked.
The rabbit, also known as Angel, pointed up towards the table. Newt looked to where Angel was pointing at and saw a bowl of salad sitting next to his cup.
“Oh is that it? Time for your Luncheon”? Newt asked Angel.
The little rabbit nodded his head and then rubbed his belly clockwise. Newt lifted the bowl off the table and set it down in front of Angel, who smiled gratefully as he dug into his meal.
“There you are”, Newt said with a smile.
“Wow, you caught onto what he wanted quite quickly”, Fluttershy said, genuinely impressed.
Pickett peeked out from his place behind the napkins and scurried up to Newt. The stallion in question chuckled as he dug into his vest pocket and produced a cluster of small stone like items.
“Looks like it was time for somebody else’s lunch too”, Fluttershy said with a chuckle.
“Yeah, he can never really get enough of these”, Newt said shaking his head, “Then again, that’s the case for every Bowtruckle”.
“How is it that you can talk to animals, Newt”? Fluttershy inquired, “Oh, um, I know I already asked that but, your previous answer seemed a bit vague”.
“I can see why you’d think that”, Newt said with a chuckle, “But no, I don’t really talk to them. I just, I understand them”.
“That’s lovely”, Fluttershy said with genuine interest.
“I guess you could say I feel closer to them than I do with others”, Newt said, fiddling with his teacup.
“Oh, I feel exactly the same way”, Fluttershy said, “I mean, of course I care about all my other friends but, it’s different with my animal friends”.
“You can tell them whatever’s on your mind and they just listen”.
“Oh yes, and there’s also the extra special warmth of their hugs, especially the ones that have fur”.
“And best of all…”.
“They always accept you for who you are”, they both said in unison.
Both ponies looked at each other in surprise before exchanging a smile with one another.
“Oh my, I never thought I’d have so much in common with somepony before”, Fluttershy thought, “And he’s so well-mannered too”.
“Mrs. Fluttershy”?
The yellow mare gasped as she was pulled from her thoughts.
“Lost in your thoughts, were you”? Newt asked, tilting his heads.
“Oh! Um, yes?” Fluttershy said nervously.
“Happens to me all the time, no worries”, Newt said with a smile.
“Umm……Newt”?
“Yes”?
“…Would you umm….”.
Fluttershy was becoming unusually flustered as she tried to find the words.
“Would you…..liketomeettherestofmyfriends”??? She asked rather quickly.
“Oh”! Newt said in surprise, “Well, I….sure”.
“Oh wonderful”! Fluttershy said getting up from her seat, “They’re going to love you, I just know it. I’ll let you get your things while I put everything away”.
Fluttershy picked up the tea tray and carried it with her to the kitchen while Newt went to go and fetch his jacket from the hanger. As Fluttershy set the saucers, cups, and finally the teapot down into the sink, she held a hoof to her chest.
“Why is my heart beating so fast”??? She said to herself, “And why does it seem to go faster every time that……I look at him”??
