"Anna, I'm not sure I'm understanding Bombarda." The tutoring idea had gone over well and those not in dueling club but who wanted to expand their knowledge of defensive spells and charms visited the courtyard on Saturdays.

"Give me five minutes, Lucy, I'll be right there." She was instructing a 2nd year on how to properly hold their wand…again.

"If you choke up on your wand your spells will backfire and both you and your target could get hurt." She moved the boy's hand down and loosened his grip. "Now, try the spell again." She smiled as she hurried over to Lucy.

Newt watched her from the sidelines, a somewhat dopey smile present on his face, the second task was next week, and he knew exactly who he wanted as his partner, she knew what she was doing and then some.

The third task had been announced as a sort of tournament of it's own, each champion could pick one person they knew to bring into the task with them, he'd asked Leta if she would do it but the Slytherin seemed like she'd rather bury her head in the sand than draw attention to herself more than she already had. But he'd only asked out of formality, he knew he wanted Anna there next to him, Leta even agreed.

The task involved extensive knowledge of spells and survival instincts, if you got both participants from the other two teams out, you won and therefore the tri wizard tournament would be over. However, they didn't choose their partner until the day of the task.

"DUCK!" Newt felt himself hit the ground as one of the first-years' spells bounced off the pillar and right for the unsuspecting Hufflepuff.

"You know, I think you like hurting me."

"No, not really. But sometimes it's an added bonus." She teased getting off of him and offering him a hand up.

"I'm so sorry!" the first year hurried over. "All is fine, Charlotte. No one got hurt, but remember…"

"Defensive spells, away from the crowd. I know." Anna smiled and patted the smaller Gryffindor on the back.

"Good, of you go." Newt watched the smaller girl go, "It's funny…we were all that small just a few years ago…" Her words trailed off as a familiar face show up in the court yard, Newts Older brother, Theseus.

"Well, well, well…Gryffindor's golden boy…" She narrowed her eyes and Newt knew to step away from her, in case things got ugly.

"Oh…" there was a look of disgust on his face, "I'd heard about this tutoring group from Maria, but had I known you were leading it, sewer blood, I never would have come."

"Golden boy's not doing so hot with his spell work, hmm?" Newt watched his brothers scowl grow.

"Look, I'll just go." The older boy turned to walk away but stopped at Annas next words.

"Funny, I thought Gryffindor's to be the brave one's of the school. Surely, you're not going to be intimidated by a little sewer-blooded witch like me, Theseus." He turned and rapid fire sent a spell in her direction.

"Lacarnum Inflamarae!" Anna watched with mild interest, "Aguamenti!" She countered, putting out the fire ball in mid-air, the curious eyes of students varied in age watched the impromptu duel.

"It would be ill advised for you to cast such destructive spells while there are so many other students present, Theseus." The Metamorphmagus advised the older boy, her hair fading to an unnatural red color, eyes following suit and settling on pitch black. This had to be one of the best days of Newt's life as he watched his older brother struggle against someone three years younger than him.

"I won't take advise from you."

"I won't teach someone who won't keep an open mind." This made Theseus stop again, clutching his wand tightly.

"You don't have to like me, Theseus, but I won't stand here and be disrespected because you have it in your head that Muggle born witches and wizards are beneath those of pure blood status. And I most certainly will not let you believe you are any better than those of us here, you came today looking for help and I am prepared to offer it, but only if you quit acting like you own the place." Correction, this WAS the best day of Newt's life, Theseus had always been pig-headed when it came to admitting he was in the wrong, and as children it frequently got the older boy into trouble at home.

"So…will you accept my help, or will you leave?" Anna let her anger drop, her appearance returning to normal. Theseus looked around at the students, mildly surprised to see students from every house gathered and spread around the cobblestone courtyard.

Anna reached out her hand, the brunette Gryffindor looked at her skeptically and walked out of the court yard. Dismayed Anna sighed and turned to the onlooking students.

"All right, you lot. That's enough for tonight, go get dinner and rest up." The students quickly dispersed and eventually she and Newt were the only one's left.

"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm starving."

"You're always Hungry, Anna."

"Well, someday there will just be more of me to love then." She laughed as she took his hand and ran towards the castle."

Time flew quickly and it was now April, the snow of the winter months had long since faded and warm air paired with the usual rainfall had returned to Hogwarts

"Champions!" Headmaster Black addressed the three students. "Your final task will last until only one team remains standing, no unforgivable curses or deadly spells are allowed!" murmurs filled the stands. "Each student will pick their partner for this challenge but choose wisely!" The Headmaster's stepped up to their respective student, wand held out like a microphone to amplify their voices.

"Kain sousa, Who is your pick?" Benedita Dourado, the Castelobruxo headmistress asked her student, the dark-skinned boy looked confident.

"I choose 7th year student, Idris Cohen!" Kain's voice rang out in the evening air, the Aforementioned students appeared next to Kain, his clothes quickly transfigured to match the Castelobruxo champions.

Headmaster Black held his wand towards Newt, the Hufflepuff had come in second during the last challenge after all.

"Mr. Scamander, who is your partner?" the entirety of the school already knew, so announcing was just another formality.

"Anna!" The brunette felt nauseous as she was apparated to the field, her uniform transfigured to an outfit similar to newts in Yellow and Black.

"Welcome to hell." Newt teased, Anna rolled her eyes. "I was poisoned for the last task…this is what you think hell is?" she pushed back.

"Hey, I saved you." She nudged his side as the Ilvermorny girl chose her partner, a 6th year students by the name of Leon Branch.

"Yeah, and then kissed me in front of the entirety of Hogwarts, Ilvermorny, AND Castelobruxo…you know, for an anti-social Beast lover…you certainly know how to draw attention."

"Your task will last until only one team remains, Anything but unforgivable curses and deadly spells goes. Prepare yourselves." Anna wondered what the headmaster meant when he'd uttered those words, but the twisting, turning feeling returned to her stomach as she felt her body being teleported again.

"Oh…I think I'm going to be sick…"

"Anna…" The two fourth years were dismayed when realization hit that they were in unfamiliar territory.

"I don't think we're at Hogwarts anymore…"

So, I have already made a HUGE error in writing this, but it will eventually be fixed. Upon doing my research, I learned Theseus was just a very confident Hufflepuff…and also 8-9 years older than Newt, being born in 1888-1889, and would thus not be at school during Newt and Anna's adventures… I do sincerely apologize for this. It will be fixed in the eventual reworking of this story.
