It's Really You (Newt Scamander x Reader)

Chapter 27: The Demiguise and The Occamy

"Whoa! Whoa!"

Jacob and Queenie quickly staggered backwards to find cover. The Demiguise immediately followed and jumped into Jacob's arms.

The Occamy swooped upwards, scooping Newt up onto its back as it violently thrashed about the attic, sending shelves flying. You quickly ducked down to avoid the Occamy's tail from hitting you right in the face. Newt shouts out.

"Right, we need an insect, any kind of insect, and a teapot! Find a teapot!" Newt shouted and you immediately sprung to action.

Tina arm-crawled through the chaos, dodging falling items, trying to find what Newt had asked for.

The wings of the Occamy crashed down the floor, narrowly missing Jacob as he stumbled around, encumbered by the Demiguise now clinging to his back.

You ran and crawled around the attic trying to find eather an insect or a teapot.

By every second, Newt found it harder and harder to hold on as the Occamy became more and more distressed, its wings now thrashing upwards, destroying the roof of the building.

In the meantime, Jacob turned, both he and the Demiguise spotting a stray cockroach on a crate. Jacob reached his hand up to grab it, when part of the Occamy crashed down, destroying the crate and his chance.

Tina continued crawling across the floor with a great determination, in hot pursuit of a cockroach.

Queenie, who screamed as she was knocked to the floor by the force of the Occamy, was now crawling away from it. Jacob ran up behind her and dived forwards, flat onto the floor, finally laying claim to a cockroach.

Meanwhile, you found a box of Chinese service and opened it, finding a perfect teapot.

"Teapot!" You yelled across the attic as you stood up, clutching the Teapot in your hand.

At this noise, the Occamy reared it's head once more, causing its tail to writhe, squishing and pinning Jacob with the Demiguise against one of the rafters.

You and Jacob were now at opposite ends of the room, neither daring to move, swatches of Occamy scales between you.

The Demiguise, who was clutching to Jacob's back, looked swiftly up to the side and promptly vanished. Jacob slowly turned to follow the Demiguise's gaze, noticing that the Occamy's face was now inches away from his own, staring with full intensity at the cockroach in his hand. Jacob barely dared to breath.

Newt peered round from behind the Occamy's head.

"Roach in Teapot..." He instructed Jacob.

Jacob gulped, trying not to make eye contact with the huge creature next to him.

"Shhh..." Jacob tried to soothe the Occamy by slightly patting it.

Then he made eye contact with you from across the room, widening his eyes at you, warning of his intent.

Quickly, Jacob threw the roach. It soared through the air as the Occamy's body began to move once again, unfurling and swirling round the room.

Newt quickly jumped from the Occamy's back, landing safely on the floor, while Queenie took cover, placing a colander over her head.

You ran, teapot outstretched, hurdling and jumping over the Occamy's coils, followed by the tail of your long black coat as you went. Once you reached the center of the room you landed on your knees, the cockroach falling perfectly into the teapot.

The Occamy reared up, shrinking rapidly as it rose, before diving down head first. You rose your head, somehow hipnotized by the sigh of the mesmerizing creature and its abilities. The Occamy raced down towards the teapot, and glided seamlessly inside.

Out of nowhere, Newt raced forwards, also on his knees and jammed a lid on top of the teapot. Both of you breathed heavily, in relief, happy that all of the creatures were in safety.

"Choranaptyxic. They also shrink to fill the available space." Newt said to the sisters and the No-Maj, while looking at you, smiling.

You looked at him and smiled too, while listening to the now tiny Occamy gobbling down its cockroach.

"Tell me the truth, was that everything that came out of the case?" Tina asked, while trying to catch her breath, a slight tone of annoyance in her voice.

"That's everything, and that's the truth." Newt answered while glancing from the teapot to you, smiling once again.

You smiled at him again, blushing slightly, knowing exactly the feeling he was feeling right now. The feeling of everything just being right again.
