“Much
more the former than the latter.” Newt replied. “Both he and his
fiancée are involved with the ministry, so they tend to stay there.”

“Ah, I see,” Edwardo said. “I suppose devotion to one’s work runs in your family, doesn’t it?” He smiled kindly at Newt.

“I suppose it does.” He nodded, smiling in return. “My mum must have passed that onto us. My father was a hard working man as well.”

“What does your father do?” Edwardo asked, leaning forward in his seat with an elbow on the table in interest.

Carlos wondered mildly if Edwardo was going to poke Newt for every bit of information about himself. He didn’t look like he was in any hurry to stop, so Carlos decided to do a little clean-up. He slid his wand from his sleeve and flicked it toward some of the dishes on the stove to move them to the sink. Just for the fun of it though he also charmed a napkin near his brother to come up and dab at some of the crumbs that stuck in the younger man’s mustache.

Mikey jumped, a little surprised, and stared at his brother with an almost offended pout, to which Carlos just smirked cheekily.

“He was an auror as well.” Newt replied with a soft smile.

He watched as the dishes began to float away, though he chuckled as he caught sight of Mikey’s reaction to the floating napkin.

“I see,” Edwardo said. “Well, if you don’t mind me saying, it seems that you’re not the only one in your family to lead an exciting life.”

☝️ – Tap my muse on the shoulder

Newt had been walking down the street, case in hand when he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder. He paused, not sure who was there, but he turned to see–

“Carlos?” He asked in disbelief. It had been ages since he’d last seen the man. What were the chances of seeing him again?

“Of course – I don’t mind at all.” Newt replied, shaking his head.

Carlos couldn’t help the grin spreading on his face. “Wow… thanks Newt. I can’t wait to see them.”

Newt smiled warmly, though he glanced up as their food floated over to them.

Carlos looked over his shoulder where Newt was looking and grinned again. “Oh good… the grub’s here!”

“Carlos?” He asked in disbelief. It had been ages since he’d last seen the man. What were the chances of seeing him again?

Newt
chuckled softly at that, and nodded. “They are. But don’t worry, she
hasn’t developed that ability yet. Picture how baby goats enjoy ramming
into things.” He explained.

“Ah, I see,” Carlos said. “Will she learn to control herself more as she gets older?”

“She will. Right now she’s just curious; like how a baby puts things in its mouth.” He explained.

“Oh, that’s very cute,” Carlos said with a smile. “I suppose a lot has changed down in the case, huh? With new residents? I’d…” Carlos trailed off, suddenly feeling a little pushy. He was going to say that he’d like to go down into the case to see the animals, but he didn’t want Newt to feel like he had to. Carlos tried to cover it with a slight cough, but still smiled at Newt.

“After this, why don’t you come back to my flat with me?” He asked, raising a brow. “I can show you my newest editions.” He said.

Carlos blinked at him. “Wait, really?” he asked, already feeling a little excited by the idea. “I mean – that would be great, if – if you’re not too busy today.”

Newt smiled happily, and nodded. “You and my mother would get along very well.” He said with a chuckle.

Edwardo looked at Newt curiously. He smiled. “Oh? She sounds lovely already. If you don’t mind me asking, Newt, what’s your family like?”

The young man’s eyes lit up at the mention of his family. “My mother raises hippogriffs. She lives out in the country outside London.” He said. “She’s part of the reason I became so interested in magical creatures, I suppose.” He added. “My brother, Theseus, is an auror. Quite an accomplished one, in fact.” He said, pride clear on his face. “We don’t always get along, but I suppose that’s common among brothers.”

Carlos’ eyebrows furrowed curiously. “An auror?” If Newt told him about Carlos’ family…

No, he wouldn’t do that. But the mention of an auror did put a pang of concern in Carlos’ gut. Just a little one.

“Yeah, brothers are sometimes like that,” Mikey said. “How close are you? Regarding age? Carlos and I are only about 18 months apart.”

“Theseus is eight years older than me.” He replied with a small smile. “Doesn’t seem like it, though.” He added. “The gap between us never felt that large.”

“Oh yeah?” Carlos asked. “Well, that’s always a good thing. Does he travel a lot like you, or is he kept busy in England?”

“He rarely leaves England.” Newt replied. “He’s quite incolved with the Ministry.” He explained.

“Oh – an all work and no play type?” Edwardo asked curiously. “Or is it just the nature of being an auror in England?”
