It's been an hour; an hour and Newton was not back yet. Why was he not back yet? I stood up and looked out my window to see that it was getting dark because of the rain Did Newt go somewhere to hide from it? Sighing I picked up my wand and walked out of my room. Taking a deep breath and descended the stairs and walked to the front door. "Art I hope you are ok," I said to myself before I left the house. I got lost in thought again as I walked down the road. Mother would have not told Newt to go for that walk. She would have a better idea then go on a walk for Newt. Like playing with Frank the hippogriff but no, she had to die. Another sigh escaped my lips as I walked through the rain not really caring if I got wet. "Art!" I called over the sound of the rain. "Newt where are you?!" I call again when I got nothing, no sound at all on this street that we live on. The sad thing was that I don't know my neighbors and I don't think that Newton knew them either, but I still have to try. Taking a deep breath, I walked up to a small house with a red roof on the end of the street. Never have I been to this part of the street. I prefer to hide in my room and cry and read and listen to my brother play then go out and see people. Not that I don't like people unlike my brother who doesn't like being with them, I like people and being with them. However, I rather not be with them. "Here we go," I told myself as I walked up the flower-covered walkway and smiled as I saw muggle toys by the front door. When I walked up to the door I slowly knocked and waited a few minutes. Kids running and laughing. I could hear a man calling to them, but I could not make out want he was saying. Putting my hands behind my back as I bounce on the balls of my feet. I waited, and waited and waited for what felt like another hour. My heart was beating faster and faster as if I was going through the floo a hundred times. I stopped rocking when the small door opened while a crack of thunder came out of nowhere. In the doorway stood a tall older man with brown hair but it was graying a little. His eyes tell me that he was tired, and I could not blame him.

"Hello there. Whom might you be?" he asked me in a gentle fatherly tone that I have never heard before. I allowed my hands to go to my sides and took a deep breath before I opened my mouth and said:

"Hello, good afternoon. My name is Theseus Scamander. I live just down the road from here. The big house on the right. Anyway, I hope I'm not bothering you but I'm looking for my little brother. He went for a walk an hour ago and he has not been back since," I paused and looked at the man who nodded and ran a hand over his face.

"Why don't you come in and tell me about him. Maybe I can help you look for him," he told me opening the door a little. I nodded slowly. I did not trust this man, but he says that he could help me find my brother then so be it.

His house was nice. There were flowers everywhere and pictures of a woman smiling in every picture, but I could see a sadness in her eyes. I saw the same sadness behind my mother's eyes after father left and before she died. I could feel tears in my eyes, but I closed them and wiped my hand over my eyes to keep them from falling. The man however did not notice as I followed him into the living room. "Would you like something to drink?" he asked but I shook my head. How, how can I think about drinking something when my brother is missing.

'Maybe he went to find mother?' I thought running my hands over my knees. The man nodded and sighed before he said:

"Why don't you tell me about your brother? Then maybe we can figure out where he might have gone and that way I can help you find him," my neighbor looked at me, but I said nothing for I still did not trust him. However, I did not know why. Sighing and taking a deep breath I said:

"His name is Newton and like I said he went for a walk. I think maybe he went looking for our mother but…." Here I cut off and wiped the tears from my eyes again. The man however nodded and sighed.

"I understand. Does he know?" He asked me but I did not say anything because I don't know him, and I can't tell him about this. However, he might help me. I sighed again and shook my head.

"No, he does not. How can I tell him? We don't have time for this. I'm going to find him on my own," I snapped before I stood up and walked to the front door. I heard him calling to me, but I did not listen as I walked back out through the front door.

"Wait! Come back!" I heard him but I still did not trust him to help me find Newton. For I need to do this one my own. My mother would have told me anyway.

A/N: How was that? I'm sorry about the wait on this story. I forgot that I was working on it. Thank you for reading and I will see you next time. -Captain Voxland
