Luna walked past the Auror's Office longingly and sighed before heading to the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, where she worked. She sat at her desk and began reading Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Newt Scamander. "What was he like?" Luna wondered. Newt Scamander was Luna's idol, she loved him. She sighed. An hour past already and soon Luna was really tired.
"Luna! Darling!" Luna heard the American accent and knew it was Ginger.
"Hello, Ginger how are you?" she asked softly.
Ginger smiled at Luna, "Oh darling, I am great." She started, she was holding a cup of tea, and was stirring the small spoon in it. "I'm sure you will love working with Rolf, isn't he adorable!"
Luna laughed. "Sure I guess," she said. "What brings you here?" she asked.
"Darling, I'm happy to say your trip is starting in a week. That's it! Bye-bye now darling!" and with that Ginger quickly left. Luna stared at her suspiciously. Weird, why is everyone acting so weird today.
She stayed at her desk patiently and waited. "Luna!" a voice behind her sounded. Was it Rolf?
"Rolf?" she turned around to see Neville, "Oh it's just you," she said a little bit disappointed. She had been hoping Rolf would explain why he had acted so strangely earlier today.
"Sorry, I really have to talk to you!" he said. Luna looked at him confused, wasn't he still mad at her?
"I'm sorry why are you here?" Luna asked a little coldly, she remembered how he acted when he had seen her with Rolf one day. He looked at them in disgust and Luna did not like that at all.
Neville looked at her a bit upset. "Jeez Luna, why are you so angry?" he asked rolling his eyes.
Luna sighed. "What do you want?" she snapped. "I don't have time for you."
"Just hear me out!" he said. "Look I know..."
Suddenly she heard a cry from the other room. "Luna! Come here now!" That was definitely Rolf. She stood up and ran out of the office and straight into Rolf's not noticing Neville followed her.
"Rolf, what is i- Wow." Luna stared in awe as Rolf was caring for a Niffler. The Niffler was whimpering and Rolf was holding it with two hands comforting it. She walked forwards and saw that one of its legs was injured. She reached out her hand to hold it as Rolf handed it to her. Luna held on to the Niffler carefully. "Did you name it?" It looked like a baby Niffler as he was quite small. The Niffler tried to escape Luna's hands. And Rolf noticed a shiny item peeking out of his stomach pocket.
"His name is Newt, after my grandfather," he said. Rolf grabbed the Niffler back and petted it carefully. "Think you can keep them huh? Absolutely not." He stroked the Niffler's stomach and gold items started falling out. "Oh you silly little Niffler," he said staring at the creature. Rolf then stared at the little small pillow that was on his desk, Luna saw a few other Nifflers curled up and asleep. Rolf grabbed a really small cloth and ripped it, he grabbed the smallest piece and used it to wrap around the Niffler's right leg. "You'll be alright Newt," he said smiling. Newt curled up with the other Nifflers as Rolf placed him on the small pillow. He stared at the Nifflers for a long moment before looking up at Luna.
"Wow," Luna said in awe, she'd never seen someone care so much about these small creatures, even if they were mischievous.
"Rescued them, I found them not too far, someone imprisoned the poor creatures." he grabbed the cloth and cleaned his hands. Luna stared at his office, it had creatures and plants almost everywhere like it was a jungle, there was a wooden desk and also a rather odd suitcase.
"My grandfather gave it to me, the suitcase? It's rather fascinating." Rolf pointed out. He then looked behind Luna to see Neville who was looking around in awe. Rolf stared at him suspiciously. "And what are you doing in my office?"
"I needed to talk to Luna," he said scratching his head.
Luna looked at the two and could tell there was tension between the three of them. "What is it?" she asked.
"Well in private..." he muttered.
Luna stared at Rolf who nodded slowly. "Well, I'm sure anything you have to say to me, you could say it in front of Rolf."
"Fine, I'm dating Hannah, Hannah Abbott," he said nervously. Rolf looked at him with no emotion.
Luna smiled. "Well, I'm happy for you," she said. "Is that all?"
"Well, if you- Can we- If you want- Can we be friends again?" he asked.
"Of course," she replied sighing. It was better to have more friends than no friends.
Neville sighed in relief. "Alright well, I got to go! Bye Luna." he then left. Luna was also turning to leave until she felt something.
Rolf grabbed onto Luna's hand. "Don't leave yet," he said. "Let's go have dinner together." Luna looked around. Rolf grabbed the Nifflers and carefully placed them in his suitcase, he grabbed the suitcase and walked out.
"Sure." she nodded and together they apparated into Diagon Alley. Luna grabbed onto Rolf's arm and he looked around.
"I actually, well where do you want to go Luna?" he asked awkwardly as she was grabbing his arm.
Luna shrugged. "I'm not sure."
"How about Leaky?" he asked.
"Sure." Luna smiled. They walked in silence. "What's so special about that suitcase?" she asked curiously.
Rolf looked at the suitcase and smiled. "My grandfather used it when he went to America because he wanted to take care of some creatures, it held a Thunderbird and an Obscurius and many other beasts." he started. "He didn't really like it when others took his suitcase, but he trusted me with it." he paused. "I'm grateful."
"Wow, that's great," Luna said. They soon reached the restaurant and walked inside. "Table for two." Luna said as a waiter came over to them.
