It's Really You (Newt Scamander x Reader)

Chapter 27: The Demiguise and The Occamy

"Was that the Demiguise?" Tina asked.

"No, I thing it might be the reason why the Demiguise is here." Newt whispered.

Quietly you, Newt and Tina, started swiftly moving down an aisle towards the Demiguise, which was now moving away from you through the store.

However, once the Demiguise realised it's been spotted, it turned and looked at Newt quizzically, before moving up a set of side stairs. A smile appeared on Newts face, while he watched one of his creatures. You smiled too, developing a theory why the Demiguise was here in the first place. You and Newt quickly exchanged glances before moving to follow.

Together with Newt you started going up a set of stairs with Tina following right behind you two. When you reached the end of the stairs, you saw a single door, which was slightly opened. Newt went in first, slowly opening the door just wide enough for a person to go through, followed by you and Tina.

Once you stepped inside, you found yourself in a huge, dark attic-space, filled floor to ceiling with shelves packed with boxes of china dinner services, teacups and general kitchenware.

You saw the Demiguise walk along the attic in a patch of moonlight. It glanced around before stopping and emptying its handbag full of confectionery on the floor.

"Its sight operates on probability, so it can forsee the most likely immediate future." Newt explained to Tina.

Both of you slowly creeped further into the room with your similar walks. But you stopped, while Newt creeped all the way up behind the Demiguise.

You curiously eyed Newt and Dougal, smiling realising that you were right.

"So what's it doing?" Tina asked.

"It's babysitting." You said.

Tina looked at you with wide eyes.

The Demiguise held up one of the sweets, seeming to offer it up to someone or something.

"What did you just say?" She asked.

"This is my fault. I thought I had them all, but I must have miscounted." Newt calmly whispered.

Jacob and Queenie entered the attic quietly. Newt calmly moved forwards and kneeled beside the Demiguise, which made space for him in front of the sweets. Then Newt carefully placed his case down.

Suddenly, a shift of light revealed the purple-bluish scales of a large creature hiding in the rafters of the attic. Tina looked up in horror.

"It was babysitting that?" She asked, her voice panicked.

The face of the Occamy came into view, this Occamy was huge, coiled round and round itself to fill the entire attic roof-space.

It moved slowly down towards Newt and the Demiguise who, again, offers up a sweet. Newt remained very still.

"Occamies are choranaptyxic. So they grow to fill the available space." He educated.

The Occamy spotted Newt, and slowly craned its head towards him. Newt gently held up his hand.

"Mummy's here." He said, in a calming way.

Suddenly, you noticed that the Demiguise's eyes flashed a brilliant blue, a sign that it was having a premonition.

As suddenly as they turned blue, the Demiguise's eyes turned back to brown.

Out of the corner of youe eye, you noticed Queenie move slowly forward, staring at the Occamy. As she did so she accidentally kicked a tiny glass bauble on the floor, which jingled as it rolled. At the sound, the Occamy reared up, screeching. Newt immediately tried to calm the large creature.
