Summary: Newt/Reader; a/b/o dynamics, Newt is an Alpha but prefers to keep it hidden
Some part of you isnât surprised; it made sense the more you thought about it. Newt Scamander was an Alpha; itâs how he was able to keep so many different creatures in order under the same small area; they were his pack and he was their Alpha. It was why, despite how meek most people described him as they always seemed to respect him a little too much for him to be written off as the Beta that was marked on the forms he presented. Queenie had told Tina that they were forged; you knew before either of them had said anything as youâd help him get them.
You hadnât told him why you knew the forger; you figured he assumed it was something to do with you having trips back and forth overseas and smuggling a few creatures of your own. You donât argue with him. You donât notice the way he keeps you closer to him than the others, despite only having been traveling with him for months; it feels like youâve known each other for years. While you werenât close at Hogwarts, you blamed it on your shyness and the fact you were both hufflepuffs.
Youâre late for the tea he invited you to; heâd wanted you to meet his friends visiting from America and youâd been more than excited to go; of course Theseus decided to come with you; insisting his brother would be fine with it. When you show up to the place Tina and Queenie are staying in; trailing behind sputtering apologies about being late; Queenie grins at you and Newtâs hand nudges you in the door as he glares at Theseus. You catch when Tina goes to shake your hand; and Theseus moves out of the way; his hands brushing on your back; Newt steps backward and Queenieâs eyes light up as she smiles. When you go to shake her hand she pulls you into a hug winking and you catch Newtâs arms wrapping around himself.
âDidnât you have something to show him?â Theseus reminds you and you grin almost running into Newt when you pull your case up.
âYou got a case like mine?â He grins and you nod.
âYes but thatâs not what I wanted to show you; well I should tell you first.â You nod sitting back down at the table hiding your burning face at the fact you almost crashed into him.
âSo I was cutting through the back alleyâs to try to find, well it doesnât matter why.â You cut yourself off avoiding talking about the forger and the suppresant potions you buy from him; instead chewing your lip as if to remember something.
âEither way this caught my eye.â You gesture to the shimmering bangle thatâs woven with gold and silver.
âAnd just as I was about to get it Victor rushes in; grabs it from my hand and then I have to chase him over three more streets until he gives it back!â You grin and Queenie laughs. Newt looks suddenly very upset.
âVictor?â Theseus questions and you nod.
âYes; here.â You unlatch your case and pull the half asleep niffler out.
âHeâs blind; but can still sense shiny things!â You hold Victor out and he yawns before his paws twist to try to grab the bracelet.
âOh wow.â Newt breathes looking far less upset.
âYou know what that means right?â You bounce slightly unable to wait as you answer your own question.
âNifflers donât just use sight to find items! They probably use smell or some sort of specialized sensors!â You grin and Newt beams back. You pat Victor on the head and Newt offers his hands out Victor snaps and hisses slightly.
âOh; Victor donât be mean.â You scold softly and Victor curls onto your lap.
âHe must not be comfortable with your smell; he doesnât like anyone besides me; if it helps.â You add as Newt deflates slightly.
âOh! Hold on; sorry; may I?â You offer your hand out to Newt and he nods reaching forward. You try your best to block out the thoughts of what youâre about to do; and you quickly brush the scent gland on your wrist over Newts arm, nudging Victor who moves forward letting Newtâs hand now brush his fur. Newt grins and you smile back letting him pet Victor who still sits on your lap. You try your best to fight off a yawn but fail Tina offering you a bed to stay the night.
âItâll just be in there with Newt; if thatâs alright.â She smiles and you nod. Whenever youâd traveled with him youâd both always made sure to have beds as far away as possible; to avoid any awkwardness. You find it ironic that staying with his friends is when youâre forced to sleep next to each other. You try your best to figure out why youâre so tired; you hadnât been out or up late; there was no reason for you to feel so exhausted beyond your heat; but you knew that wouldnât be happening due to the suppression potion youâd taken earlier. You try your best not to squirm too much when you start to feel hot; you close your eyes for a moment and before you know it Queenie is muttering to Tina whoâs awkwardly trying to convince Newt to stay in his case.
âItâs okay Tina; I can just go back to the hotel; itâs no problem if Theseus walks with me anyways; no oneâs going to bother and Alpha and Omega walking to a hotel.â You know whatâs happening; youâve caught on that the suppression potion was a fake; probably nothing more that flavoured water or a pep-up potion.
âY/N; itâs fine stay here. We can talk to Newt when he comes back up.â
âHe bolted down there right after Tina said you were an Omega; seems like he had no idea.â Queenie smiles and you eye the case as it opens once more.
âY/N can stay in my case. I charmed it so you wonât be able to get out until your heat fades. Itâs safer. Besides all the creatures like you; youâll be safe, they wonât let anyone hurt you.â You nod stumbling down the stairs to grin at the creatures.
âHey guys; Iâm sorry Iâm not Newt Iâll start feeding you in a sec.â
âTheyâve already been fed Y/N!â
âThey deserve treats!â You shout back and Newt bites his lip to stop from smiling.
âYou went down there cause it's far away from me; so I couldnât read your mind.â Queenie grins and him and Newt sighs.
âYou could just tell her.â Theseus comments and Newt turns to him.
âIâm amazed she hasnât noticed your jealousy yet; you almost shoved me out the door when I walked in.â He grins and Newt glares shrugging.
âDo you remember when I met her? You had to physically step away because you wanted to; well Merlin knows what you wanted to do, but I was a problem in that equation.â Newt glares and keeps his eyes down.
âI just wanted you to step back.â He mutters and Theseus grins.
âYou didnât want me near her, why?â Newt doesnât say anything turning away.
âItâs odd; you wanting an omega. Especially one like that.â Theseus says it to goad Newt. Heâs about to respond when you climb halfway out of the suitcase.
âNewt; I thought you might want your coat.â You offer it out and he nods in thanks. Theseus tries his best to not grin in triumph. Newt blinks for a moment swallowing before Queenie grins.
âNewt just tell her how you feel honey. Itâll make everything easier.â
âI donât need to- bugger.â
âI left my wand down there.â
âYou can get it when sheâs sleeping; or Queenie can grab it.â Tina assures and Newt nods, folding his jacket over the chair.
-Itâs almost midnight; you feed the creatures a few extra treats, ignoring the scolding youâre probably going to get from Newt when he returns and curl into the makeshift bed he uses when he stays down in the case. You try your best not to make any noise when you can hear footsteps; curling further into his scent from the bed and trying to ignore how your heat makes every part of you ache.
âY/N?â Newtâs voice is softer than youâve heard and you donât respond.
âThere it is.â You hear him mumble as he no doubt picks his wand up from the workbench.
âHey Dougal; whereâs Y/N? She doing okay? Are you guys taking care of her?â You can hear him talking to the other creatures.
âWhereâs the Niffler; he didnât.â Newt doesnât finish instead turning and walking over to the bed where you know the niffler has settled next to your stomach.
âHow beautiful.â He sighs and you shift in the bed pretending to be asleep. You can feel his hand hovering over your face and his fingers run through your hair before he pulls away.
âYou guys keep her safe okay?â He repeats sighing sadly as he moves; you make sure heâs almost up the stairs before you pretend to wake whining. You can hear him stop moving and suck in a breath.
âNewt.â You can hear Theseusâ voice and Newt sighs once more.
âYou know you wouldnât forgive yourself.â Theseus repeats and you furrow your brow trying to keep quiet as you follow Newt on the stairs; holding the drowsy niffler to your chest protectively.
âNewt?â you question and he trips slightly on the stairs running back up and slamming the case closed. You blink up at the doorway in the darkness.
âOh, I guess he doesnât want me then.â You try your best not to sniffle to the niffler who then scrambles away as you place him on the bed. The niffler returns offering you a shimmering ring. You thank him pulling the ring towards you before offering it back out. The niffler squeaks and you put the ring on; it makes a pleased sound and settles next to you as you return to the bed; ignoring the embarrassment as you press your face into Newtâs scent and all but roll around in it.
You wake up to Queenie laughing and you're about to let her know youâre awake but she retreats to the stairs.
âNEWT!â She hisses up and you can hear his footsteps before his voice fills your ears.
âWhatâs wrong did something happen? Did one of the- Queenie; if you donât tell me what happenedâŠâ he trails off and you can hear him suppress a laugh.
âWell at least the niffler likes her.â He sighs and you can feel his fingers softly touching you; moving something off of your arm You open your eyes and shift slightly; his hand going from close to your neck to lower almost at your chest.
âSorry.â He jumps back moving towards the stairs and Queenie tries her best to stop staring as Newt runs up them.
âY/N. it appears the niffler has taken a shine to you; literally.â She grins pulling off a few spare trinkets that the niffler had covered you with.
âWas that Newt?â You ask and Queenie nods.
âHe doesnât hate you sweetheart; heâs just never been around an omega during heat. He wants to help but he doesnât know how.â
âOh.â Is all you say but Queenie gives you a look and then sighs.
âWeâre all going out in an hour; thereâs a meeting at the MCUSA and Theseus managed to convince Newt to leave the case here; considering youâre in it; youâre welcome to stretch your legs once we leave; or at least make yourself a cup of tea or lunch in a proper kitchen.â She nods and you thank her, turning your attention to where the pile of jewels and shimmering objects rests.
âOkay; now then little niffler; these are yours. You can take them back.â You offer a necklace out and the niffler grips it in his hands turning it over and placing it in his pouch.
âYou know what I love about Omegaâs the most?â Newt cringes at the Alpha whoâs been droning on and on.
âWhat?â Queenie rolls her eyes and Newt tries his best to ignore the answer from the alpha.
âTheyâre just so helpless when theyâre in heat; you can do anything to âem and theyâll thank you. You should try it next time you find one; Iâm sure you meet dozens on your travels.â He grins and Newt sighs turning back to walk over to Theseus.
âBecause we canât trust you with your case.â Theseus deadpans and sighs making his way over to Tina whoâs talking to Queenie. Newt watches them for another moment before deciding to head back to the apartment.
Heâs apparated back into the bedroom, surprised to see the caseâs lid is still shut. He makes his way into the kitchen for a cup of tea; staring at the scene before him.
âPickett sweetheart, no.â You sigh plucking the bowtruckle from where he tries to plait your hair.
âItâs going to get knots in it. Can I just make my tea in peace; I swear Iâll give you a full half of a biscuit; I wonât tell Newt anything.â Pickett squeaks back and you pout.
âOkay thatâs not fair; me being in love with him and you getting half a biscuit are not the same thing at all! Either way Iâve kept that well enough; Queenie is the only person who knows; and she wonât say anything because she knows that Newt doesnât like being outed as an Alpha.â You sigh confused when you hear a thump in the bedroom.
âOh, I hope Dougal didnât get out.â
âDougal! Please donât be- Oh. Hey Newt.â You cough awkwardly and Newt grins from where heâs sitting on the bed. He looks slightly flushed and you wonder how fast he apparated back to the house.
âSorry.â He looks down at the ground and you shake your head.
âI was just making tea; Iâll go back down now, I just fed everyone.â
âIs Pickett with you?â
âYes, heâs trying to plait my hair; heâs mostly just tying it in loops. Is everyone else back?â
âWere you worried about your creatures in the case?â
âYes; I was worried about everyone; plus the conversation was getting hard to listen to.â
âWere they insulting everyone?â You frown, gesturing to the case while Pickett is peaking out from your shoulder.
âMostly you. Well all Omegaâs but it bothered me.â He wrinkles his nose and you shrug.
âItâs okay Newt; Iâm sure Iâve heard worse anyways. I should get back in the case; just in case anyone comes in.â You grin a little and nod opening the case but hesitating.
âPickett misses you.â You hold Pickett out who climbs over to Newtâs hand and up his shoulder.
âY/N. Are you wearing my shirt?â His voice is the same as the ones he uses for his creatures.
âYes.â You can hear the way his breath hitches as you retreat back to the case trying to avoid thinking about how flushed his face was and how pleased he looked.
âNewt are you back here?â Theseusâ voice floats down the stairs after you and you can hear Newt cough awkwardly.
âYes the conversation was boring.â
âIn the case; Pickett decided to keep me company for now.â You donât hear Theseusâ response but you can hear Queenie and Tina entering and then Queenieâs movements towards the case.
 âYes?â You peer from just under the caseâs lid and she sighs.
âPlease stop. The last thing I want is to hear whatever his thoughts are about that.â She shakes her head and turns back to Newt relieved that the only main thought in his head seems to be a repeat of the word mine.
You donât ask where everyone is; youâd left your wand upstairs when youâd made tea and while you donât need it, the security it provides is nice. You know the rest of the day will end up with you being unable to do much more than whine and fail to ignore the heat coursing through your own body. You stagger up cringing at how dizzy you are; you wonder how long itâs been since youâve had an actual heat and you canât remember with how everything is spinning. You stumble again crashing against the workbench and hiss curling into a ball debating if itâs even worth going back to the bed or if you can just sleep here.
âY/N?â You lift your head when you can hear Queenie calling on the stairs.
âIâm okay.â You mumble before you can see her shoes.
âYou fell; and youâre saying youâre okay?â
âI tripped over the feed bucket. Thatâs all.â You assure and she smirks.
âSo if I call Newt down here?â
âI fell over the feed bucket.â You repeat and she nods.
âWhy were you getting out of bed, I was about to bring you some breakfast.â
âI forgot my wand upstairs yesterday when I went to get tea.â
âNewt. Can you get y/nâs wand from the table.â
âHere.â Newts halfway down the stairs when Queenieâs nose wrinkles and you watch as newt sets the wand on the bench.
âNo itâs fine she fell over the feed bucket.â You grin at him a little and he offers a hand out, pulling you up and hovering his other hand around your waist.
You try your best not to think about him; about how his hands felt around yours. You try your best to block out how easily he pulled you up; how relieved he had looked when you were okay.You try your best to push all these thoughts out of your head but you just curl closer to the coat heâd left on his bed trying your best to keep your hands from wandering lower; you chastise yourself by reminding yourself heâs upstairs and youâre in his bed; that heâll smell you on everything but that just makes you ache for that moment. You bit your lip and try to stop from whining but you fail; itâs only half a whine, a squeak really but it rouses Pickett who had been put on babysitting duty and you try to assure him youâre okay but he scrambles up the steps. Youâre not sure who youâd rather him get but you wait until you hear footsteps.
âPickett.â You hiss slightly when he climbs on you. You roll from where youâd been facing the wall buried in Newts coat to come face to face with Newt himself. You donât breathe just watching Newt. His eyes look almost black and youâre not sure why heâs being so still.
âYou okay?â Newt asks and you shake your head; his hand brushing your hair nervously.
âCan I help?â You just nod reaching forward to press your nose into his neck. You donât care how desperate you sound when you scent him; or how the rest of your body seems to coil around him as he leans over you.
âY/N; I donât know if you really want this love; I canât-â He starts but you whine and run your tongue over his neck. You can hear his breath hitch and youâre expecting to be pushed back on the bed but instead you feel yourself being pulled closer.
