Newt knew that he was making a cosmic mistake. If he was caught after curfew he would lose Ravenclaw lots and lots of house points. But he had seen Tina sneak out and he needed to find out why. The girl was usually very quiet and she didn't break the rules. She was younger than him, third year if he remembered correctly.
Newt saw her near the edge of the Forbidden Forest and started walking faster.
Suddenly he heard her speaking.
"If you're wondering what I'm doing here, I'm staying up to watch the meteor shower. Tonight it's the peak of the Perseids. It's tradition in my family to watch them together. Well...it was. We stopped watching them after mum died, but I continued to sneak out and look at the sky. And I know that my father does the same. So in a way, we're still looking together; just that we pretend that we pretend that we don't."
Newt didn't know what to say. He didn't understand why she was telling him all those things; she didn't know him. And he didn't know her. And yet, his inner voice told him , you came all this way to see why she was outside at this hour.
It seemed that the two of them were thinking alike.
"Why are you here? You don't know me. I'm just a third year and you're a sixth year. I have never talked with you before. Actually I didn't think you knew that I existed." She stated in a calm voice, not taking her eyes off the sky.
Newt didn't know what to say. Everything was true after all.
"I … had heard about you,"he offered lamely, shooting her a sheepish smile.
…
"And what? What happened next, dad?" Asked Lysa with a pout.
"Come on, don't leave me hanging! "She said.
But Newt only smiled.
