Newton Artemis Fido Scamander a young Hufflepuff sixth year stood in the office of the Headmaster. The young wizard had tears in his eyes as he waited for him and Dumbledore to come back. Newt heard yelling by everyone in the next room. Then they finally came out to tell Newt the news. "Mr. Scamander," Dumbledore his teacher paused and said: "You must leave, I'm sorry," Newt broke down as the dam behind his eyes broke as he started to cry.

"What? I," Newt trailed off as tears went down his freckled face.

"I'm sorry Newt. Go pack your things. The good news Newt is that you can keep your wand. I'm sorry that's all I could do for you," Newt nodded still crying as he left to go pack his things. Newt was still crying when he ran into his friend Leta Lestrange. She like him had tears in his eyes. However, when Newt looked at her, he got angry. This was rare for the young Hufflepuff.

"This is your fault. I stood up for you. You know I took that blame and now look where it got me. Your nothing but a Slytherin,"

"Newt I..."

"Don't, I have to go. Goodbye Leta," With that Newt left with tears in his eyes.

Newt was still crying by the time that he got back to Kings Cross. His mother and brother Theseus were not there yet. He dreaded when they did come to get him though. Newt got so lost in his sad thoughts that he did not see the lady walk up to him. "Are you ok young one?" She asked walking up to him. However, Newt did not say anything. The lady was going to ask again when Newt shot up when he heard:

"Newton Artemis Fido Scamander! Get over here right now!" The lady looked up to the voice. She saw a very angry mother. She had her hands crossed over her chest and she was panting with anger. Next to her stood a man, no a young man. He looked about the same age as the crying boy maybe a little older than him. The lady watched as the boy got to his feet and slowly walked to what she assumed to be his mother. "Faster Newton we need to talk," Newt sighed and walked faster as he pulled his trunk behind him.

"Mother I…" Newt stopped talking as his mother raised her hand to silence him.

"We will talk when we get home. Come Theseus, Newton," the lady's mouth was wide open as she watched the family leave.

"What did that poor boy do?" she asked out loud as she walked away.

"Go to your room we will talk later," Newt with tears still in his eyes ran up to his room pulling his trunk behind him. When he got to his room, he opened the door fast and then slammed it hard. Newt then picked up his trunk and threw it across the room. It landed on his bed and rolls off. Then he collapsed on his bed and cried his eyes out. A few minutes later a knock came on his door.

"Go away!" Newt said in between sobs. However, the door opened anyway. In the doorway stood Newt's older brother Theseus. He was holding Dougal Newt's beloved Demiguise. The only beast that their mother does not know he has. "Theseus what are you doing in here? I said go away," Newt said in a quiet voice that has a harsh but sad tone at the same time. Theseus sighed.

"I thought you might need Dougal. You did have a rough day," Theseus said as he sat the gray-furred beast down on the floor. Newt gave him a small smile and waited for the beast the come on his bed.

"Hello, friend," Newt said wiping the tears from his eyes. Theseus smiled at his little brother.

"Mother will be up soon, and she is not happy. Why did you do it anyway?" Theseus asked as he walked into the room some more. Newt sighed and hugged Dougal and took a breath before he answered.

"I did not. I took the blame for someone. I,"

"You liked this person. Did you love this person?" Newt nodded and sighed.

"How can I love her? She ruined my chance of becoming a real wizard. Well at least I still have this," Newt pulled out his wand. Theseus's eyes grew wide at this.

"They let you keep it?" Newt nodded.

"Dumbledore um, argued against me being expelled, but this was the only thing he could do for me," Theseus laughed and left the room.

"Be careful when mother gets up here," Newt nodded and hugged Dougal again.

Waiting for his mother was nerve-racking. However, Newt fell asleep. When he woke, however, he was not in his room nor was he in his house. Newt's eyes snapped open with fear when he heard voices. "Man I hate detention," the first voice said on the staircase.

"Well, it was your idea to turn Filch's cat bright green," another voice said.

"I would love to see my mother's face if I did that to her," a third voice laughed. Then more laughter filled the stare as they entered the room.

'Who's Filch?' Newt thought as he saw three boys around the same age as him walk into the room.

"Well, I'm glad that I did not join you. I was in the hospital wing remember," the second voice said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Right, sorry Moony," one of the boys said.

'Moony? His name is Moony?' Newt thought as he listened to these boys speak.

"It's ok Padfoot, Prongs. It's not your fault, but turning Filch's cat green that was your fault and I'm glad you guys were there during the full moon," Newt saw both Padfoot? And Prongs? Smile.

"Well, I'm going to go to bed. Let me guess Moony you are going to stay up, right?"

"Well I need to, I'm behind," the room filled with laughter. The laughter died down fast as Newt felt the eyes of Moony on him.

"James, Sirius," Moony called to his friends.

"Yes, Remus, what is it?" Sirius asked as he looked at his friend with a worried look on his face.

"There is someone else in this room with us." Newt swallowed, then it hits him.

'I'm at Hogwarts. How? I don't think I should be back here. Oh, Merlin.' Newt thought panicking. Newt took a breath and listened some more.

"And how the hell do you know that?" Sirius asked looking at Remus who tapped his nose.

"I smell him," Remus said very bluntly.

"Of course you do. Ok come out, we know you're in here," James called voice breaking with fear. This was rare for the young Potter. Newt sighed and hugged Dougal close as he stood up and looked at the three boys. The first one had black hair and Hazel eyes. He wore something on his face that he did not recognize. This was weird for the young Hufflepuff. The next boy was taller than the others. He had sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. His eyes seemed older than the rest of him. There was also a little bit of amber flecked in his eyes. On his face, he had thin scars that crisscrossed on his face. The last boy had black hair like the first boy only he had warm gray eyes. They seemed haunted. Far too haunted for a sixth year.

"Um, hello," Newt said quietly as he hugged Dougal close to his chest.

"Who are you?" Moony asked kindly. Newt not meeting his eyes said:
"Newton, and you are?" Newt looked around the room when Moony said:
"Remus Lupin. This is Sirius Black and James Potter," Remus looked at Sirius who smiled at this boy whom he had never seen before.

"It's um, nice to meet you," Newt said not taking Remus's hand as he held it out for him to shake. Newt had tears in his eyes again as he looked around the dorm room. "I'm not supposed to be here," Newt said sitting down on the bed that he was laying on. Sirius's face softened at the boy.

"Are you ok?" he asked. However, Newt did not answer his question instead he started to cry and mumble:

"Mother's mad," he kept saying this over and over as he hugged Dougal and cried.

"What do we do?" Remus asked looking at Newt who looked more like a child than a teen at the moment.

"How should I know," Sirius snapped at Remus.

"Well, we should ask him," James suggested looking at Newt who cried himself to sleep. "He fell asleep. Poor Kid," James muttered.

"Well, I guess we can get to sleep now. Don't stay up too late Moony," Sirius laughed as he crawled into bed. Remus laughed a little and pulled out his homework that he missed over the course of the full moon. James only smiled and got into his bed and closed his eyes. Soon all but Remus was asleep.

Newt woke with a scream the next morning. This scream woke James, Sirius, and Remus. However, Sirius already awoke from a nightmare a few minutes before. "What?" Remus said voice filled with sleep and worry. "Padfoot, you need to see someone about your nightmares," Remus added looking over to him. Sirius made a face and moved his head to Newt who was panting and looking around nervously.

"Sorry," Newt muttered under his breath and sighed. "I did not mean to wake you," Newt said louder now.

"Hey, don't worry," Sirius said getting up and walking over to him. "Now, I think we need to find out who you are," Sirius said looking at Remus and James who both nodded. Newt sighed and closed his eyes.

"My name is Newton Artemis Fido Scamander. I'm not…"

"Wait, Newt Scamander? The Newt Scamander?" Remus had a huge smile on his face even though he was tired from working late last night on homework. Newt smiled at him a little confused.

'How does he know my name. Know one knows me. Well, maybe all the kids in my year. Only they know me by the kid that almost hurt someone.' Newt sighed and nodded. "Yes, that's me. How do you know me?" Newt asked looking down at Dougal who made a noise. This made Remus smile.

"Wait, Wait, you're the same age as us. So that means that you're from the past. What year are you from?" James asked looking at Newt who did not meet his eyes as he said this. Newt sighed and shook his head.

"1913. The year 1913. Why, am I in a different time?" Newt asked with fear and fascination in his voice. Remus nodded and looked at Sirius who's eyes grew big. James's did the same.

"We need to go to Dumbledore," Remus said getting off his bed and pulled the curtains around his bed.

"Moony we have seen your scars. Why are you pulling the curtains around your bed?" James asked looking at Sirius who was watching Newt. Newt was playing with Dougal by moving the animal's arms around. Newt laughed a little. Sirius smiled but his smile faded when he thought of last night.

"Newton,"

"Call me Newt,"

"Right, Newt. Um, last night. You said that your mother was mad. What did you mean? It's ok if you don't want to say. I understand, I don't like my mother either, but I hate my family anyway," Sirius said looking sad and thoughtful. Remus pulled the curtains back and sighed as he rubbed his side in pain.

"I was, by yesterday expelled from school. I did not do anything. I took the blame for someone. She was scared. So I told the headmaster that I did it. This is all her fault. Now my mother really loves my brother more than me. The favored son," Newt had tears in his eyes again as he bore his head in a pillow.

"What house were you in before…." James trailed off. Newt wiping the tears from his eyes said:

"Hufflepuff. My brother Theseus was a Ravenclaw and the girl that I took the blame for. The one that broke my heart was a Slytherin. I always thought that she was my friend. Maybe more than that… I just…" Newt trailed off and sighed. Sirius nodded wiping the angry tears from his eyes and looked over to James and Remus. Remus nodded and looked at Newt with a sad smile on his face.

"Ready to go Rem?" James asked. Remus nodded as did Newt. Then the four boys walked out of the dorm and out of the Common room, and to Dumbledore's office.
