Rolf Scamander

Aflyn walked into the open room where only a few chairs were layed out in a semicircle. He chose a seat on the edge and motioned for Ellie to sit next to him. His attention was directed to the stage by Callan's voice and he smirked at his welcome. "Woah there buddy, Ice Queen is my thing. Plus, how am I not the favorite?" He sat back as Callan continued his speech and his eyes widened, "Wait, we had homework? You know I dont do that. But, I'll gladly be the grand opening." Standing up and walking towards the stage he shook his head, "I cant believe you convinced me to do this." He stole Callan's microphone while casting a glare at Rolf, "Put your phone away idiot." Then he started his song...

Ellie sat beside aflyn and took his hand into hers. Just the simplicity of it made her heart race. She then glared at Callan when he called her Elsa the Ice Queen max and laughed at Aflyns comment. “You don’t own frozen mate” Callan replies with the mic in his hand she then looked over at Rolf “wait where’s my catchy nickname?” She felt bad for him, but not enough to defend him. Ellie chuckled once more at Aflyns homework comment “no you don’t do you?” She let go of his hand as he approached the stage, Aflyn the main attraction Scamander. What a perfect name for him she thought. She bit her lip when he grabbed the mic from Callan. She knew that Af probably wasn’t nervous but she was, for him. Ellie never heard aflyn sing before, but she had heard him moan, same thing right? She looked over at Rolf who gave him an uncaring stare “trust me, these memes are much more interesting than the ‘main attraction’ “ he replied coldly to aflyn which made Ellie purse her lips. Glad she didn’t stick up for him, she thought. When the first notes came out of Aflyns lips, an array of shock took place and Callan magically added an accapella to match his tune. He was amazing. Ellie crossed her legs because she was suddenly wet with desire from his song and she tapped on Blake “I think he’s singing about me” she whispered before looking up at him again. As expected he had great showmanship, but whenever he looked at her and sang the words she blushed, and hid her face. Gah he was perfect. She was the first one to clap when his song ended, her face still red as she smiled up at him. Callan took the mic once more “not bad cousin, well done, I want that same energy come show time. Ellie” he looked at her “you’re up” Ellie bit her lip and looked at Blake “I need your help amiga” she said taking her hand and giving aflyn a nervous face as passed him on stage. Callan and Blake exchanged a few words as an impressed look came over him as he handed her his guitar. Ellie took the mic “okay, so I wrote this song when I was 13. So sorry if it’s not good” she took a deep breath, she knew it was important and she always wanted to sing it, but now being pregnant it made it made the song even more so. Callan sat back in the audience with aflyn and nodded at Ellie in approval “an original song! That’s great! Lots of emotion” he shouted out to her, and lots of emotion indeed. Ellie looked at Blake and gave her a nod at the sound of her guitar she began to sing...

Blake took a seat next to Ellie as everyone got situated. She smirked at Callan's welcome and ignored the stranger. She assumed he should get a nickname since she knew nothing about him, but ignored it all the same. She heard Aflyn's chuckle from down the row and rolled her eyes. Her eyes followed Aflyn calmly as he approached the stage. The main attraction, really? As Rolf responded to Aflyn she covered her laugh with her hand. Aflyn pointed at him, "Aw, is someone mad they didnt get a nickname?" She cast a smile at Ellie before he began and raised her eyebrows in shock. Frankly, she expected him to sing horribly but he wasn't that bad. Another smile framed her lips as Ellie blushed and tapped her, "He must be." Aflyn was dancing along with his words, making it evermore entertaining. But of course, he could dance decently as well. Blake crossed her legs and was second to last to applaud, only beaten by Rolf. She smirked, maybe they would get along. Aflyn took a bow as Callan got the mic back and made his way offstage. Blake took Ellie's hand as they approached the stage and she gave Aflyn a slight nod as they walked past. Aflyn gave Ellie a warm smile and saluted Blake, returning to his seat in the audience. Blake walked over to Callan, "Can I borrow your guitar for this piece señor? Mi amiga has requested a little assistance if you wouldn't mind." Grinning as she took the guitar, she sat next to Ellie and looked out into the audience where Callan was now sitting with Aflyn. Blake nudged Ellie, "Your going to be great sweetie. On 3?" She beamed at Ellie's voice and pushed the guitar volume to convince her to sing louder. Her eyes wandered to the audience where she noticed Aflyn's face lighting up and him sitting forward in his chair. She finished off the song and smiled, "Told you." Her eyes met Callan's, "I'm going next." Waiting for Ellie to return to her seat she repositioned the microphone and brushed back her hair. She smirked out at the audience and began to sing...

Rolf rolled his eyes at Aflyns song “yeah I bet you wear make up!” He shouted out to him laughing, Af was good, though he’d never admit it, he knew that he was better. He ignored most of his bantering, though he wondered why Callan didn’t give him a catchy nickname. He looked over at Blake as she looked at him and shot her a smile watching as her and Ellie took the stage. As she sung he looked over at Aflyn gleam at her, wow, he’s never seen him look at any girl like that before. Was his pesky little brother changing on him? He shook his head and looked up at Ellie once more bringing his hand to his mouth studiously “what was that all about.?” He whispered to himself but shrugged it off as Blake took the stage. Her song was sweet and Callan was all heart eyes for her, which he understood why and hoped one day he would have something like too. He sat up in his seat uncomfortably, he was the odd man out here, the only single fella. Callan approached the stage and Rolf watched as he gave her this sexy look taking the mic “okay Rolf you’re up, I’m still tryna think of your name so hang in there” he jumped off the stage and got next to Blake once more as Rolf approached the stage. He ran a hand through his hair and took a deep breath before singing his song...

Aflyn sat down rubbing his hands together as Ellie prepared to sing. He glanced over at Callan, "This is going to be good." Her song was beautiful, but not as beautiful as her voice. A hardly noticable blush formed on his cheeks and he sat forward in his chair in hopes to absorb more of her song. He sighed and mumbled as he brought a hand to his head, "Fine. Her name is Winter." Intertwining his hand with hers as soon as she returned to her seat he listened to Blake's song. Of course she was good, she was dating Callan after all. He didn't even have to look at his cousin to know how happy he was. Blake smiled at Callan as she returned the microphone, "Not too bad, was I?" She placed herself next to Ellie in the audience and watched with curiosity as Rolf walked up to the stage. Aflyn shouted at Callan, "How about Rolf the eternal virgin Scamander?" He rolled his eyes, how could everyone here be good at singing? Laughing at some of the lyrics he yelled, "The only good time you've had with any Caroline, or girl to be exact, was when you read Vampire Diaries!" As Rolf concluded his song he glanced over at Callan, "Your turn Cal."

Ellie took Aflyns hand as he offered it to her, and giggled when he agreed that their unborn babies name will be winter. She kissed his cheek “I knew you’d come around” she whispered, watching as Rolf starred suspiciously at them. “I think your brother is starting to figure it out...” Callan watched as Blake came down from the stage, beaming at her. “You and bad don’t even belong in the same sentence. You were perfect” he said giving her a small peck on the lips before Rolf took stage. Callan loved his tune, loved his voice, he was the necessary bass that the group needed. That’s it- he thought of a nickname but before he could announce it Aflyn already came up with one. Rolf glared at Aflyn after his nickname was given, and put the microphone back on the stand “how would you know about Caroline if you’ve never seen Vampire Diaries Aflyn?” He said “she’s not even a main character” Ellie laughed at Rolf and he glared at them both now “you guys are up to something I know it..” Rolf added coming down from the stage Callan then got up and patted Rolfs back “Rolf that was great” he said “don’t listen to them” when Callan approached the stage he did with a ton of energy “alright alright, I’ll sing, but I already got the part” he said into the mic as he grabbed his guitar “Blake this is for you” he said blowing her a kiss before starting

Cleo sat in the car with her arms crossed and her eyes glaring at whatever happened to be outside her window. "This is stupid," she grumbled. Swiftly jumping out of the car and slamming the door before her mother could respond, she made her way to the music room. Meanwhile, Aflyn smirked at Ellie's kiss and dared a glance at Rolf, "He always suspects me of something. Most of the time hes wrong though. We have nothing to worry about." Blake brought a hand to her chin thoughtfully, observing everyone's interactions with one another, but impressed by Rolf's low voice. Aflyn shrugged, "I know because my roommate is obsessed with her for some reason." He gave Rolf an innocent smile along with Ellie's laugh. As Callan began, Blake could feel a blush creeping up into her face and she sat back into her chair. Cleo pushed open the stage door and her face turned into disgust and she mocked, "Blake this is for you!" She listened to his song, looking out to Blake in the audience. "I'm so sorry for you," she mouthed. Blake waved her off and bit her lip as Callan sang. Cleo pursed her lips and walked to the center of the stage while taking the mic, "If you nerds are done, I'm hungry. And you!" She pointed at Callan, "You are stuck with me because you told Mum about my pranks. She doesnt trust me home alone anymore." She jumped off the stage and turned back around to face him with a smile, "Naturally that means the pranks are going to be worse and public."

Ellie shared a mutually evil smirk with aflyn as he spoke. In all honesty she did like Rolf when she first met him, that was until she realized he was also full of himself but in an unattractive way. She rubbed up Aflyns leg seductively “oh I’m not worried” she whispered to him, watching as Rolf turned towards them. “Your roommate? I highly doubt that” Rolf said with that same suspicious glare as before. Ellie smirked at Rolf then turned her gaze as Callans younger sister came barging in, nearly interrupting his song. Callan glared at her but kept going like the showman he was, then when she approached the stage Callan moved around to avoid her. Once he was done, Cleo finally caught up and ripped the microphone out of his hand “Cleo! What the bloody hay, this is a closed rehearsal!” Callan jumped back when she pointed at him, his fault? “Rats!” He said groaning to himself as he covered his face. How could he let this happen? He just wanted the pranks to stop. Ellie tilted her head towards aflyn “I could definitely go for some food” she said ignoring all the incoming drama. “I’m kinda feeling Chinese cleo what do you say??” She asked rubbing her tiny belly. Callan shuddered at the thought of more pranks so he turned his attention towards Rolf and Ellie “Chinese? That sounds bloody awful” Rolf began “how about we go to that seafood place up the street? It has fantastic reviews!” Rolf beamed and the thought eating seafood made Callan shudder even more, he loved sea creatures too much. “Screw the reviews mate. I will never drain the ocean of its life. Besides let the pregnant lady choose its only right.” Just then Callan covered his lips cursing himself and Ellie’s mouth shot open. “Callan!” She yelled glaring at him now, “is it really that hard to keep your mouth shut for literally one week?!? One week!!” Rolf suddenly shot up “I knew it! Well I didn’t know it but I knew you we’re hiding something! Ha!” Rolf shouted taking Ellie off guard “oh this is rich, mum and dad will be so pissed! Finally you can’t be mister perfect can you??” Rolf lost it, completely taken over by laughter until he met eyes with Ellie and stopped straightening up instantly “congratulations by the way” Rolf sat down feeling ashamed. Callan scratches his head “you didn’t tell your own brother mate??”

Aflyn leaned in to plant a kiss on Ellie's cheek, then rolled his eyes as Rolf interrupted, "You never believe me. Nothing new." Blake casted them both evil glares, "Shut. Up," she spoke sternly. Aflyn struggled to stifle his laughter as Cleo and Callan ran around the stage. He glanced over and noticed Blake holding her hand to her head, but her lips laced with a small smile. Cleo put her hands on her hips, "I dont care if it's a bloody porn party! It's not like I want to be here."Turning his head towards Ellie as his smile lingered, Aflyn shrugged, "I'm a little hungry as well." He turned his head as Cleo spoke into the microphone, "As long as I get food I dont care." She threw the mic back on stage and began walking for the door, but she paused to listen to the little argument picking up. Blake stood and made her way over to Callan, "I agree with Cal. Plus, I'm not really in the mood for seafood." She nudged him with a smile, "Did you hear that? I rhymed." Blake was taken aback by the sudden reaction at Ellie's pregnancy while Cleo's jaw dropped, "What? That text was a joke! I wasn't telling you to get pregnant! Especially with him," she wrinkled her nose. Aflyn grabbed Ellie's arm to calm her down and he opened his mouth to speak, only to be cut off by Rolf's shouting. His eyebrows knitted together, "My God. I knew you were jealous, but not by that much!" Blake looked back and forth between the three bickering and Callan asked her question for her. She crossed her arms, waiting for a likely stupid response from Aflyn. Her head turned as she felt pressure on her shoulder, and she looked down to find Cleo. Cleo looked up at her with a huge grin, "This is so dramatic. I love it." Blake chuckled in response to her as Aflyn threw out his arms, "Of course not! You see how he is acting! Plus, its Rolf. I'd rather not have to deal with him." He took Ellie's hand and stood, "Chinese it is."

Callan smiled at Blake “yeah, I caught it” he chuckled before Ellie lunged at him making him jump back. Good thing aflyn was there holding her back but she fought even his hold “let go of me Af” she said through her teeth and Callans eyes widened in fear. He’s been scared plenty of times but Ellie was different kind of fear, a beast he would not dare fight back “woah easy there mama bear. I’m sorry.” Callan gave a look that screamed ‘help me’ as she lunged for him once more. She then glared at cleo “don’t even start with me pipsqueak, I’ll fuck you up too” Ellie said to his little sister and Callan took the opportunity to hide behind Blake. Rolf grabbed his jacket and put it on in an angry fashion “I’m not jealous. Far from it, I’m just a believer in karma and finally she’s taking a hold on you mate” he then shot a glare to aflyn when he revealed why he didn’t tell him the big news, though he was secretly heartbroken about it he wouldn’t dare let it show. “Whatever. I don’t care anyway” he said out of vain wishing he hadn’t afterwards. God, aflyn sure knew how to bring the worst out of him. Ellie then looked at aflyn and wiggled out of his grasp “get off me” she said straightening her shirt “Chinese is perfect . Let’s go” it was obvious Ellie was more than hangry but Callan took Blake’s hand and followed behind them timidly, and soon Rolf followed sorely. The moment Ellie looked into Aflyns eyes the sexual tension between them grew. Somehow she felt that aflyn thought she was sexy with all her amped energy and without question she pressed her lips against his making everyone around them give confused stares

Blake let out a little laugh along with Callan's, but held up her arm defensively across him when Ellie lunged, "Ellie.." she cautioned. Aflyn tightened his grip and couldn't help but smile, smirk at the least. As she fought back, he crossed his arms around her like a hug and layed his head on her shoulder, "No, not yet." Ellie's sudden lunge forward caused him to trip, but he caught himself and pulled her back, feeling himself become more aroused. Cleo watched with curiosity, leaning against the exit. She glared as Ellie spoke to her, "I dont want to have to kick your ass Elsa. Especially since you are pregnant." Blake held her hands between them, "Come on, calm down. This is stupid." As Callan hid behind her, or tried to, she straightened her defensive stance. Her eyes wandered to Rolf as he called for attention with his frustrated manner. Aflyn removed his gaze from Ellie and looked at Rolf skeptically, "Alright, sure. Whatever you say brother." His grip on Ellie weakened, and he allowed Ellie to leave it. He pointed at Rolf, "You dont care? You are going to be an uncle! I wouldve happily told you if you werent such an arse to me all the time! Just look at how you are acting now." Blake observed their interaction and concluded that it would be a good idea to talk with Rolf, perhaps during their meal. Cleo's arms remained crossed even though she was enjoying every second of this. She didnt dare intervene in fear of causing everyone to target her instead of each other. Frowning, she noticed their argument was over for the moment and she led the way down the hall. Blake took Callan's hand with a smile, "Scaredy-cat." Aflyn looked over to Ellie and caught her eyes. He gave her an enticing grin as he felt their sexual tension grow. Damn, it was sexy how she continued to fight back and frighten her targets, he thought. Kissing her back passionately, he smiled through the kiss as he noticed everyone's confused expressions. "Ow!" He stepped back as something hit his head. On the ground was a small shoe and he looked down the hall at Cleo. "Bloody hell! What was that for?" He shouted. Cleo stormed down the hall to pick up her shoe, "Get a room. I dont need to see this crap." Blake leaned over to whisper to Callan, "I think both of our families are crazy."

“What Torres? I can take you too” Ellie spat as she was pulled away by aflyn. She tried to wiggle free, but stopped the moment he layed his chin on her shoulder. She breathed heavily and Callan ducked seeing the devil in Ellie’s eyes. He glanced over at cleo, and shook his head at her response, oh this was bad. “Cleo, I will tear your world up from the inside out. You really wana go there right now?” She looked from cleo to Blake and stepped back “you’re stupid!” She said smacking her hand away. Callan peeked behind Blake and looked at Ellie “come on Elle, you’re hangry. Just calm down, it’s okay. Af-“ callans face contorted “are you smiling right now?! Get it together man!” Ellie’s anger switched to Blake, to Cleo, to Blake again then to Rolf the moment he opened his mouth and Aflyn responded. Rolf took the route Callan did and ran off into the hall the moment Ellie’s eyes met his. Ellie was fine once the food notion was established and Aflyns lips were on hers. She supposed Callan was right, she was hungry in more ways than one. It was easy to loose herself with Aflyn, her leg hooked around his hip as she pulled herself up closer deepening the kiss before aflyn jolted causing them to stop. Ellie shot Cleo an evil glare and jumped down from Aflyns hold meeting Cleo on her way to retrieve her shoe and began beating her repeatedly with it. Callans eyes widened as he watched Ellie's savagery only Escalade, he decided not to intervene because well Cleo deserved it. Instead he looked at Blake "uhhh yep. Most definitely" he took her hand "let's go" Callan patted Aflyns back "have fun with that" he said as he exited the building with Rolf jumping up skittishly. "Just us Rolf" Callan said. Ellie got a couple shots in with the shoe before launching it one more time on the head "who needs a room now? We can drop you off children's hospital if you want"

Cleo watched with sudden realization as Ellie threatened who seemed to be her friend. She smirked as she determined that Ellie was dating Aflyn because they were both crazy, and stupid. Blake glared and stepped threateningly towards Ellie, "You really think you can take me? I'll let you believe what you want, because I'm not going to risk your child's life by fighting." Aflyn's smile grew a small amount as he managed to calm down Ellie for at least one second. As her name was called again, Cleo's eyes narrowed, "Tear up my world? So you are going to kill my family? Including your best friend's 'true love' and your own fiance? My God woman." Blake brought her hand back up as Ellie slapped it away, "Oh you are being so mature right now." Somehow, a song managed to get stuck in Aflyn's head and he began humming to it. Blake shot him a weird look, which he shrugged off, then continued humming. He looked at Callan, "Get what together? I cant help it if my girlfriend is hot when she gets all feisty." As Ellie's leg wrapped around him, Aflyn slid a hand under her to assist in lifting her up, closing in on any remaining space between them. He stepped back and massaged his head, not expecting Ellie to begin attacking Cleo. Blake crossed her arms as the fight broke out, already having predicted it. "Go? But-" she was hurried outside by Callan and the door slammed behind them. "Callan, your sister is literally getting her ass beat!" Aflyn turned to shout after Callan, "No! Dont leave me!" He ran over to Ellie and took hold of her arm, "Hey Blondie, we can still makeout later. Or now, I'm not picky." Cleo used this break in the attack to put up a shield, "Protego!" But before the shield was completed Ellie managed to get one more hit as she threw the shoe. Cleo landing on the ground and began to laugh, "Crazy bi- no. No. You are not getting the satisfaction of my reaction." She glared and lifted her wand, casting a healing charm over her head, "I wont be the one needing a hospital. But let me just say, you better watch your six." She stormed out of the hall, nearly running over the others. Her wand let out a powerful blast of pure red magic, splitting the tree in front of them in half as smoke emitted from it. She took a deep breath, "Shes lucky shes pregnant," her grip tightened on the wand as her knuckles turned white, "But I never forget. Especially how you all ran!" She held up her wand to them accusingly, "Were you going to let her kill me?" Blake shrugged, "You should be able to fight for yourself. Plus Aflyn was there to help." Blake peered behind Cleo, "Where are they anyways?" Cleo aimed her wand at Blake, "I can fight for myself! And I- ow!" Blake caught Cleo's wand after casting the Expelliarmus spell. "Cant we all just calm down?" Handing Cleo's wand off to Callan, Blake caught Cleo's glare. Cleo stormed over to Callan, "Wand. Now."

Ellie didn’t really want to fight blake, she didn’t even know what was going with herself, so she gave Blake a rather apologetic nod in response as she focused her angry energy on cleo. “Okay I’ll admit I’m crazy but I’m not a murder your family crazy.” Ellie said with a hint of offense in her tone. She knew she needed to get away and fast. Normally she was the last person to get fired up over the smallest things but when Cleo hit aflyn with her shoe all hell broke loose. Now that was genuine Ellie max anger, you never hurt someone she loves. She pulled off of cleo as aflyn grabbed her arm and she fixed a piece of her hair. Ellie found a wall to lean against as she took a deep breath trying to calm her nerves “what’s wrong with me?” She asked Flyn with tears beginning to well in her eyes.

Callan was at the Scamander house awaiting for Christmas to begin. The show was a smash hit, no doubt with all his genius behind it, but now Rolf knew about Ellie and Aflyns secret and it was time for the whole family to know. Callan kept away from everyone, as they were in the kitchen preparing the rest of dinner, even though Callan loved to cook he knew he wouldn’t be able to keep his mouth shut, but when his mom asked him to record the Christmas moments he knew he had to interact now, at least he could interact silently. Downstairs he turned on the camera, focusing on the mirror in front of him “well mum, be prepared for the Christmas of a lifetime” he said with a straight lip smile as he zoomed out the picture then turned the camera to his cousin Aflyn and his fiancé Ellie. @aflyn-aither

Aflyn had woken up with a strange feeling in his stomach, being nervous wasn't common for him. He had busied himself with various forms of decorating until the guests began to arrive. Explaining to Ellie what some of the Scamander Christmas traditions were, he stumbled upon his cousin aiming a camera in their direction. He stepped forward raising his arms, "There you go, take it all in mate." He grabbed Ellie's hand and swung her around, "Now presenting this cold-hearted and beautiful blonde, Elsa the Ice Queen Max!" He stepped back in front, "Happy Christmas!"

“Wait, you really got a hippopotamus for Christmas??” Ellie laughed in amazement as she held up a picture of what seemed to be baby aflyn and a hippo by the Christmas tree “not surprised...if it would be anyone it’d be your family.” She chuckled once more admiring the cuteness of what was Baby Scamander before absorbing more of his families Christmas traditions because soon it would be hers as well. The Scamanders had a lot of them, way more than her family did. The only thing the maxes did was get a new ornament every year, which the Scamanders did that too, plus a thousand more things that were off the wall. She enjoyed that Aflyn was keeping her busy because if he wasn’t she would probably be hyperventilating somewhere. Today was the day all would be revealed, and everyone knew now accept for the adults which was a ticking time bomb in her mind. She still didn’t know how they were going to do it, and just when she thought they had a moment she touched Aflyns arm as he was decorating the fireplace mantle “Af we should discuss how-“ she spied Callan in the corner of her eye and Aflyn turned towards the camera, being a ham. She shook her head and couldn’t help but laugh as he suddenly spun her around, Ellie did a curtesy. “Thank you” she said giving aflyn a playful punch on the arm for calling her cold hearted even though she knew he was joking. “What are you doing Callan? Don’t you use that camera for your sex tapes with Blake?” Callan went crimson “no! This is for the books, my mum asked me to do it, so keep it clean” he said to Ellie as she rolled her eyes “nothing about this Christmas will be clean..” suddenly her father walked in and Ellie straightened. “What are you guys up to? Dinner is about ready..” archer said giving everyone a suspicious glare, Ellie avoided his gaze and walked away timidly, watching Rolf point and laugh at aflyn from the dinning room table. Oh this was going to be hell.

Aflyn laughed along with Ellie as he shrugged, "All I wanted was a hippopotamus." He attempted to distract them both from the secret lingering over them, and his ADHD was pretty helpful in that matter. Draping tinsel across the mantel of the fireplace he paused at her touch and glanced over at her with a small smile. He grabbed his arm dramatically, "Ow!" He scratched his head, "Where is Blake anyways?" Beginning to respond to Callan he smirked as Ellie completed his thought. He turned to brush back some of her hair, but quickly retracted his hand as her father appeared. "Nothing Sir. Just putting up the last of the decorations," he nodded at him politely and glanced over at the kitchen. He glared at Rolf's laugh and stifled his own as Cleo threw something at Rolf that stuck to his sweater. She shouted to him, "If I have to work so do you!" Nick placed a fresh casserole down on the counter, "Come on! The food fight is after dinner!" Aflyn shook his head and passed up the kitchen, walking up to Callan, "Here we go." Blake walked out of the restroom with a glare, "Sorry," her gaze softened, "Wait. Is that a video camera?"

Rolf couldn’t help but laugh the moment Archer Max caught sight of his little brother. Oh he was gonna get it, he thought to himself giving him a good point and silent laugh. It was good thing Callan was recording this because he was going to watch it over and over again. Rolf then made a face feeling something slimey hit his dress shirt, he looked down slowly and shot cleo a glare “come on cleo this is my nice shirt!” He said peeling the bread dough off with a disgusted look and continued to make the bread balls as his father came by. Callan pointed the camera at Blake “yes it is my darling and might I say you look absolutely stunning today” he said zooming in on her face then her boobs before bringing the camera back up remembering this was a family picture. Heidi snuck up behind him making Callan jump from his shoes, she laughed leaning against him slightly “oh Callan I know she’s your first girlfriend and all but maybe you should let her get out of the bathroom and record some stuff in dining room” she patted Callans back and took her place in the dinning room next to archer and Lucinda. “When did I become the honorary videographer?” Callan sighed as he took himself and the camera into the dining room. Rolf finished up the bread balls but stayed put the moment archer began talking “I don’t trust your son Heidi” he said as he took a sip of his mixed cocktail. Heidi shot him a glare which made Rolf roll his eyes, why was she so defensive of him he thought “archer what makes you say that?” She said watching his eyes follow Ellie and aflyn in the living room “he’s hiding something.” Heidi sighed and brought out her wand lighting the candles in front of her as lucinda stepped in “arch, not every boy is you. I’m sure it’s all in your head. Is this about the dog? I know you love him, but Ellie has bought it for Aflyn so it’s his” archer tore his gaze from aflyn and Ellie and looked at lucinda “but- but-“ lucinda stopped him there by waving her finger in front of his face “no buts” Heidi smiled at them then looked at Rolf intently gazing at them, which she did find suspicious “Rolf go get those in the oven please” she said to her son as he got up avoiding her gaze and going into the kitchen. Meanwhile Ellie grabbed Aflyns arm and pulled him into the living area “aflyn help me, I think I’m going to pass out” she said looking from him to her father glaring at them from the other room “ever since our performance he’s been hounding me on how far we’ve gotten intimately. I don’t know what to say I think I just might tell him, get it over with” Ellie held her hand over her chest taking a deep breath, she never felt herself so anxious before this moment. Just then another body walked through the door, an older man carrying gifts “ahhh aflyn son! Comeover here and give your old grandpa a hug.” Newt said dropping his presents and holding out his arms. He embraced his youngest grandson and looked at Ellie “is this the girl everyone’s been talking about?” Newt could see the anxiety radiating off Ellie and she could feel him reading her, slowly she walked over to him “Mr. Scamander..” she uncrossed her arms and shook his hand “it’s such an honor to meet you” newt returned her shake and touched the top of her hand tenderly with his other “the honor is mine darling.” Newt looked at Aflyn about to ask something before he looked into the kitchen “Rolf son, could you help your grandmother and Queenie with the rest of the gifts” rolf came out from the kitchen and put on his shoes just as everyone came to greet his grandfather from the dining room. Everyone but archer who leant against the doorway sipping on his drink as he stared intimidatingly at Aflyn again. Rolf shot aflyn an annoying smile once more before going outside.

Aflyn walked into the open room where only a few chairs were layed out in a semicircle. He chose a seat on the edge and motioned for Ellie to sit next to him. His attention was directed to the stage by Callan's voice and he smirked at his welcome. "Woah there buddy, Ice Queen is my thing. Plus, how am I not the favorite?" He sat back as Callan continued his speech and his eyes widened, "Wait, we had homework? You know I dont do that. But, I'll gladly be the grand opening." Standing up and walking towards the stage he shook his head, "I cant believe you convinced me to do this." He stole Callan's microphone while casting a glare at Rolf, "Put your phone away idiot." Then he started his song...

Ellie sat beside aflyn and took his hand into hers. Just the simplicity of it made her heart race. She then glared at Callan when he called her Elsa the Ice Queen max and laughed at Aflyns comment. “You don’t own frozen mate” Callan replies with the mic in his hand she then looked over at Rolf “wait where’s my catchy nickname?” She felt bad for him, but not enough to defend him. Ellie chuckled once more at Aflyns homework comment “no you don’t do you?” She let go of his hand as he approached the stage, Aflyn the main attraction Scamander. What a perfect name for him she thought. She bit her lip when he grabbed the mic from Callan. She knew that Af probably wasn’t nervous but she was, for him. Ellie never heard aflyn sing before, but she had heard him moan, same thing right? She looked over at Rolf who gave him an uncaring stare “trust me, these memes are much more interesting than the ‘main attraction’ “ he replied coldly to aflyn which made Ellie purse her lips. Glad she didn’t stick up for him, she thought. When the first notes came out of Aflyns lips, an array of shock took place and Callan magically added an accapella to match his tune. He was amazing. Ellie crossed her legs because she was suddenly wet with desire from his song and she tapped on Blake “I think he’s singing about me” she whispered before looking up at him again. As expected he had great showmanship, but whenever he looked at her and sang the words she blushed, and hid her face. Gah he was perfect. She was the first one to clap when his song ended, her face still red as she smiled up at him. Callan took the mic once more “not bad cousin, well done, I want that same energy come show time. Ellie” he looked at her “you’re up” Ellie bit her lip and looked at Blake “I need your help amiga” she said taking her hand and giving aflyn a nervous face as passed him on stage. Callan and Blake exchanged a few words as an impressed look came over him as he handed her his guitar. Ellie took the mic “okay, so I wrote this song when I was 13. So sorry if it’s not good” she took a deep breath, she knew it was important and she always wanted to sing it, but now being pregnant it made it made the song even more so. Callan sat back in the audience with aflyn and nodded at Ellie in approval “an original song! That’s great! Lots of emotion” he shouted out to her, and lots of emotion indeed. Ellie looked at Blake and gave her a nod at the sound of her guitar she began to sing...

Blake took a seat next to Ellie as everyone got situated. She smirked at Callan's welcome and ignored the stranger. She assumed he should get a nickname since she knew nothing about him, but ignored it all the same. She heard Aflyn's chuckle from down the row and rolled her eyes. Her eyes followed Aflyn calmly as he approached the stage. The main attraction, really? As Rolf responded to Aflyn she covered her laugh with her hand. Aflyn pointed at him, "Aw, is someone mad they didnt get a nickname?" She cast a smile at Ellie before he began and raised her eyebrows in shock. Frankly, she expected him to sing horribly but he wasn't that bad. Another smile framed her lips as Ellie blushed and tapped her, "He must be." Aflyn was dancing along with his words, making it evermore entertaining. But of course, he could dance decently as well. Blake crossed her legs and was second to last to applaud, only beaten by Rolf. She smirked, maybe they would get along. Aflyn took a bow as Callan got the mic back and made his way offstage. Blake took Ellie's hand as they approached the stage and she gave Aflyn a slight nod as they walked past. Aflyn gave Ellie a warm smile and saluted Blake, returning to his seat in the audience. Blake walked over to Callan, "Can I borrow your guitar for this piece señor? Mi amiga has requested a little assistance if you wouldn't mind." Grinning as she took the guitar, she sat next to Ellie and looked out into the audience where Callan was now sitting with Aflyn. Blake nudged Ellie, "Your going to be great sweetie. On 3?" She beamed at Ellie's voice and pushed the guitar volume to convince her to sing louder. Her eyes wandered to the audience where she noticed Aflyn's face lighting up and him sitting forward in his chair. She finished off the song and smiled, "Told you." Her eyes met Callan's, "I'm going next." Waiting for Ellie to return to her seat she repositioned the microphone and brushed back her hair. She smirked out at the audience and began to sing...

Rolf rolled his eyes at Aflyns song “yeah I bet you wear make up!” He shouted out to him laughing, Af was good, though he’d never admit it, he knew that he was better. He ignored most of his bantering, though he wondered why Callan didn’t give him a catchy nickname. He looked over at Blake as she looked at him and shot her a smile watching as her and Ellie took the stage. As she sung he looked over at Aflyn gleam at her, wow, he’s never seen him look at any girl like that before. Was his pesky little brother changing on him? He shook his head and looked up at Ellie once more bringing his hand to his mouth studiously “what was that all about.?” He whispered to himself but shrugged it off as Blake took the stage. Her song was sweet and Callan was all heart eyes for her, which he understood why and hoped one day he would have something like too. He sat up in his seat uncomfortably, he was the odd man out here, the only single fella. Callan approached the stage and Rolf watched as he gave her this sexy look taking the mic “okay Rolf you’re up, I’m still tryna think of your name so hang in there” he jumped off the stage and got next to Blake once more as Rolf approached the stage. He ran a hand through his hair and took a deep breath before singing his song...
