Before the journey
Bunty and Newt passed the week making sure that it all was prepared for when they left. She had to admit that it gave her some relief to have more than usual to do, so that way her mind wouldn’t overwork and give a chance of getting nervous for it.
There were going to be using muggle transportation: train. Apparition wouldn’t be much of a choice since neither of them had been there before to have an image in their mind to focus into getting themselves there. It was preferable and rather less complicated, too, than going into asking for a portkey or floo network, so. Newt bought their train tickets, and it was all set for the journey, just in two days they were going to be boarding.
When they finished the brushing of the Demiguise and settling some Fwoopers to bed, she ended up trying not to swoon when her eyes catches that the one Newt was holding nuzzled and puffed itself with a little whistling snore against his chest, getting a small smile from him. It gave her a warm feeling, whenever he got to see him being sweet with the creatures, and she could only hope that she could make them feel as least a small, tiniest quarter as comfortable and content with the care she tries to give them.
“I do think these little ones will do well perched in the area with the hay that we set up, they’ll have enough space, and even if the case is moving – it won’t bother them at all”. His voice brought her back from her dumb trance, and all she could answer back was. “Oh, uhm. Yes.” As she flushed, ashamed of just staring at him, well, but thankfully he does not notice when she gets lost in him.
He just thanked her for all the assistance for the day and walked with her to where she usually got to apparate home. “Well, see you tomorrow, Bunty, have a nice evening” he said cheerfully. She smiled back and him and went away into her flat, humming absentmindedly. Once inside, she prepared to unwind and rest, going to make herself some warm tea. Something caught her attention, though – while she was moving things around, she noticed that one of her cups was broken.Of course, the window had been left open and probably it just swinged from where she left it to dry and fell. She just came to the conclusion that it was what happened. So, after that, she just settled in for bed.
The next day when by so quickly, it felt like a blink when they were all packed for the morning, Newt had left to run errands for some part of the day -which was unfortunate because she got a bit stuck while trying to put the medication to a Thestral that she couldn’t see. Thank Merlin she got to it and was able to do it before he arrived back. “So sorry to have left you to deal on your own, I just needed to buy some things for us, for tomorrow”.
“Oh, I don’t mind at all- I understand, don’t apologize for it” she said. And with that, a little while later the shift for the day was over.
Once she was back at her place, she was reminded of the broken teacup she had seen in the morning, because as it turns out, the rug that was in the outside of the entrance of her door seem to have moved a bit. Obviously, many can just pass and move it by accident, but it was strange since it barely had ever happened in all the time she had lived there. Bunty decided it was unreasonable to focus on such a small thing, so she slept, or at least tried to.
And there again were the daydreams she had about her and Newt.
It was quite frustrating because she felt ridiculous, like a childish schoolgirl with a crush, but oh. It was difficult
Difficult to just put away all of those emotions, with how persistent and annoying they were. And she tried until she got tired, it was funny now, to remember those years ago now. She saw him and it there was little more to it, even just at first sight there was just -something- that attracted her about him. And when it was her turn and they talk about her hiring, slowly she realized that she was going to be in trouble if she accepted. But also, she felt she couldn’t say no. How could she? She did need the job. And what was her excuse? “I can’t say yes because I think I might start to like you”? no it would be fine, he was good looking, in her opinion, but that was just it. She would just get over it right?... right.
It was good that getting mad at her feelings made her tired, because at some point she finally drifted away into rest. A watch she had on her desk gave a sharp, noisy ringing, that frightened her into action. Getting dressed fixing her hair and grabbing the luggage quickly, she stepped out, her heart swelling a bit with excitement walking to the station where they would meet.
Turns out she was not runnning out as late as she thought, thank Merlin. Upon arriving then she began looking for the magizoologist from around the crowd- while she was nearing to the place they'd agreed on, she saw that there was a strange man, from far away eyeing him in a strange way. She was quite sure, after looking him a bit more that he was searching for something, and it took seconds after , but Bunty came to the conclusion that this man was very likely not a muggle. That was confirmed when she noticed the silver colored part of the end of a wand when he moved and the inside pocket of his coat was exposed.
Careless. Way too carless, she thought. Although they have been more than close enough in being seeing by people with the creatures, so ,who was she to judge?
Anyways. She walked towards Newt , and she smiled when she spotted him
“Hi! are you ready? they are just going to begin to call us in. But we still ha a little time” He told her.
“ Im all good, thanks. We will just wait here then and settle”. Bunty replied back. And with that , soon enough they were getting inside.
