Rolf woke up when he heard a crash. He stood up, got ready for the day, and left the room. "Gran?" he called out from upstairs. "Is everything alright?" he asked before walking down the stairs. He saw Milly pass by and he petted her.
"Everything is fine darling, I just dropped my pan." she laughed. Rolf gave his grandmother a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you for everything Tina," he said, remembering how Tina and Newt took him in after his mother died.
Tina smiled at her grandson, "Rolf darling, we're family. I've told you, you can call me mom." she said. "Anyways, breakfast is going to be ready soon."
"Alright but still, thank you," Rolf said. "I love you."
"Oh we love you too, by the way, your grandfather is waiting in the basement for you," she said. Rolf nodded in thanks and walked into the living room where the stairs to the basement were. He noticed the suitcase was gone. Rolf walked down the stairs and saw his grandfather caring for some Occamies. The suitcase was placed on top of a desk.
"Hello Rolf, if you may check the Nifflers for me that would be great," Newt said. Rolf nodded.
"Tina said breakfast will be ready soon," Rolf said.
Rolf checked on Buggy, Newt, Dilly, and the unnamed Niffler. "Newt, what were you thinking of naming this one?" he asked his grandfather.
"What about Corby?" Newt answered. Rolf smiled.
"Alright." he grabbed Corby and petted the small Niffler. "Hey, how are you doing?" he crouched down as he placed Corby back and sat in front of the four baby Nifflers. He grabbed a clean cloth and rinsed it in water. Rolf grabbed Buggy and cleaned him with the cloth, Buggy struggled as he tried to get away from Rolf's hands. "Oh no, you aren't." Rolf grabbed tightly onto Buggy but not as tight and placed him into their little makeshift nest. Buggy was a lighter brown Niffler and was the biggest of all four. Rolf smiled as Buggy curled up.
He then grabbed Newt and noticed his leg was still limping. "Oh dear," he said. "Grandpa, Newt's still limping."
Newt immediately came over and grabbed the Niffler. "I'll keep him with me, you continue to wash the rest." Newt quickly put the Niffler in his pockets and headed to a different room in the basement.
Rolf grabbed the white and black Niffler, who was named Dilly. "Oh Dilly," he said as he cleaned her. Her eyes were still closed, and she opened her mouth a little bit, time by time. Rolf pressed the wet cloth against her softly. "You're going to be alright," he said before placing her back on the nest. He grabbed the pure black Niffler and started to clean him. "Hello, Corby," he said smiling at the baby Niffler and rubbed him against his cheek before placing him back.
"Newt can I stay here for the day?" Rolf cried, not wanting to go to work today.
"Of course Rolf," Newt called back. He walked towards Rolf and grabbed him. Newt placed the Niffler in his pocket and tossed a gold coin on the ground. Newt the Niffler ran towards it barely limping any more. Newt smiled and looked at Rolf. "Let's go feed Maryl, he said.
Rolf smiled as they walked towards the Kelpie.
"Rolf, why didn't you want to go to work today?" Tina asked as they were eating breakfast. Rolf petted Mauler, another Kneazle the old couple owned, unfortunately, Hoppy passed away a year ago leaving Newt devastated.
Rolf shrugged. "I didn't feel like it," he said knowing that wasn't a proper excuse.
"Is it because of that Luna Lovegood you were talking about?" Tina asked, and Tina just glanced at him with a tiny smirk.
"Newt!" he cried out seeming upset, though he wasn't really.
Newt just smiled awkwardly before turning away, he grabbed onto Milly and started to hold her. He petted the gray and white Kneazle and smiled sadly thinking of Hoppy. "Well, what is it?" Newt asked without looking up.
"Well, she broke up with her boyfriend a while ago and just found out he got another girlfriend like yesterday," Rolf said. "I don't know how to say it sorry, I feel like she still likes Neville a bit?"
Tina smiled. "It's alright Rolf, what you need to do is talk to her," she said, looking at Newt who was still looking down at Milly. "Just do what you want to do," she said smiling. "Everything will work out."
"Thanks, Tina," he said before giving her a hug.
"Call me mom." she smiled. Rolf smiled as he looked at his family. Newt was playing with the Kneazles and feeding them, Tina was grabbing the dishes and putting them away with her wand.
Rolf just sat there, happy he was home again.
Luna sighed. Where was Rolf? Why hasn't he showed up yet? It was already 12 PM and Rolf hadn't shown up to work yet. Was he still at his grandparent's place? What was he doing there? Luna secretly wished he was right next to her, what if something happened. Luna sighed again when suddenly she heard some banging noises from the right side of her office. "Stop sighing Luna I could hear you from here!" She laughed, Tristan Oprow was one of the Senior Magizoologist, he was 39 years old and he loved Grindylows, in fact, he had a tank in his office.
"Where is he?" she asked herself before she apparated to Marietta's Diamonds to ask Astoria.
"Tori?" Luna cried out. Astoria's head popped up from the counter. She was wearing a blue tight shirt and wore white jeans, she had her hair up in a bun and had a butterfly necklace around her neck.
"Hello Luna, how are you?" she said. "I can't believe you ditched me."
"Sorry, but have you seen Rolf at all today?" Luna asked.
Astoria shrugged. "Nope, why?" she asked curiously.
"He didn't show up to work today," Luna replied. Astoria frowned.
"What why?" she asked.
Luna shrugged. "The last time I saw him, he said he was heading to see his grandfather. Should I send him an owl?" she asked wondering if that was a good idea.
"If you want." Astoria said, "You could use Flaveera," she said pointing to the owl at the shop.
Luna grabbed a piece of paper from the counter and a quill and started writing.
Rolf,
Where are you? I'm getting worried. You haven't been to work today at all! I miss you so much! Please come back soon...
Lots of love, Luna
She attached the paper to the owl and said "Send this to Rolf Scamander." The owl hooted and flew away happily while Luna sat down and started to feel a little bit sick. Where was he? Why isn't he back?
Oh no! Where is Rolf? lol we all know except for you Luna.
