He couldn't believe it, but it was right there in the letter. Theseus Scamander sat in the stands on the Quidditch Field. His father left all because of Newt. He saw his little brother who was sitting on the field at the moment looking at the beast in his hands laughing. Theseus smiled at him, but it failed when he realized that they were alone. Their mother died right before Newt started Hogwarts and now, now this. Theseus looked up from the letter to his brother who was laughing again. Theseus could not help but laugh with him. However, it stopped when he saw the two older years walking up to him. Theseus took a deep breath and grabbed his bag, stuffed his homework and the letter into his bag, and ran off the stands.

Newt smiled as he played with the Demiguise in his arms. He was too busy playing with the arms that he didn't see the two older students walk up behind him. "Oh look. It's the failure of a Scamander," Newt let out a breath and looked up, but he didn't meet the eyes of the two bullies. Newt knew the two Ravenclaws. They were twin brothers with black hair and well he doesn't know their eye color cause he never sees people's eyes. Newt didn't even know their names, but he didn't care.

"How does it feel to be an orphan?" the other asked. Newt stood up with his Demiguise in his arms.

"I'm not an orphan," Newt said, raising an eyebrow. His voice was confused. The brothers laughed and walked closer to Newt. "Go away," Newt said, trying to sound tough but his voice failed. They laughed and pushed Newt to the ground. Newt landed on his leg. He let out a sharp breath.

"I'll tell my father!" Newt yelled using a rare tone of his voice. The bullies laughed and kicked Newt on his leg.

"Your father? Your father is not here and he's never going to be with you again." One of the twins laughed.

Theseus didn't like what he was seeing when he got on the field. His brother was lying on the ground holding onto his leg with tears and confusion in his eyes. Theseus took a deep breath.

"Why would you care about your father anyway," Theseus sucked in a breath knowing what they were talking about.

'How did they find out about that?' Theseus thought, shaking his head and walking closer. Theseus had to look away when he saw the twins kicking Newt harder. "That's it!" Theseus said running up to them. "Hey!" Theseus yelled walking up to the scene before him. "Leave my little brother alone. My father may not be here but trust me you don't want to deal with me. Now get out of here!" Theseus yelled, holding out his wand. Both brothers ran across the field. Theseus let out a breath and held out his hand for Newt. Newt looked up at it and took it.

"You didn't need to do that brother," Newt said, standing up awkwardly. He winced at his leg and ran his hand through his red-brown hair.

"Yes, I did. I'm here for you brother and sadly they were not wrong," Theseus opened his bag and looked at Newt with his hazel eyes.

"What…What do you mean Thee?" the first year asked. Theseus sighed and pulled out the letter. I got it this morning. Sorry I didn't show it to you," Theseus said, handing his little brother the letter. Newt took it and unfolded it with his hands shaking. He read:

"Dear, Theseus, Newton,

I'm sorry but I have to leave. Newton is a disgrace to the family name, and I can't raise him anymore. This is not your fault Theseus, I love you. Newton, I never want to see you again. Don't come looking for me. Your mother thought the world of you but not me.

Your father,"

Newt dropped the letter and collapsed to the ground with tears in his eyes. However, he didn't know if it was from the sudden pain in his leg or the fact that his father had left because of him. He didn't do anything. Theseus sighed and sat down next to his brother. He wanted to hug him, but he knew that Newt would never allow that.

"Brother?" Theseus asked, trying to reassure his younger brother, but it didn't do anything as Newt sat there hugging the beast. "I'm not going to leave you here. I will not leave you," Theseus said sitting there next to his brother. Newt looked up at him, his eyes wet with tears.

"I don't believe that but okay. Um, why? I didn't do anything…I..." Newt got off as more tears fell down his face. Theseus sighed.

"It wasn't you Newt, it's him. Now, I know I'm not father and I never will be but, I'm here for you little brother," Theseus said trying not to go into a hug. Newt looked up at him with a small smile, but he shook his head. Theseus sighed and shook his head also. "It wasn't you," Theseus said again firmly and putting his hand on Newt's arm. Newt flinched but he didn't say anything.

"Are you sure? Newt asked, moving the arms of the white beast in his arms. Theseus nodded with a smile. "Oh, you remember Duggal, right?" Newt asked, completely changing the topic. Theseus sighed knowing that this was going to be harder to talk with Newt about this later.

"Oh yes," Theseus said with a small laugh. Newt stood up again but winced at his leg. Theseus shook his head. "I think we need to get you to the medical wing little brother," Theseus added, pointing at Newt's leg. Newt let out a calming breath and nodded.

"Ok but, what if it's something bad and we have no one to talk to if I…" Theseus pulled Newt into his arms even though he knew that Newt would hate this, but he couldn't stand seeing his brother panic.

"That won't happen. Come on," Theseus said, picking up the letter and leading Newt off the field. He could do this; he could look after Newt. Even if he didn't understand him.
