The London air hung heavy with the damp promise of rain and the lingering tang of magical travel as Newton Scamander disembarked, his arms wrapped protectively around his scuffed leather suitcase. The Ministry's surveillance was a constant, an unseen pressure that trailed him from the arid expanses of Saudi Arabia back to the misty cobbles of Diagon Alley. He straightened his weathered coat, his light brown hair ruffled from the journey, and let his eyes scan the terminal. And there you stood, a fixed point near the luggage carousel. Newt's pulse gave a familiar, unsettled flutter. He offered a hesitant, faltering smile, the memory of the Murtlap's bite on your hand an unspoken weight between you.
