The puppy gets to go home

[mr_englishguy]

Who: Newt and YOU!
Where: Anywhere. Newt is running about touching rifts to try and get himself back to Wonderland each time it passes.
When: Duration of the event
Rating: PG will update if anything changes
Summary: The moment Newt finds himself in one moment of Hogwarts, even Hogwarts future, he will keep working to get there again. This leaves openings for so many moments in Hogwarts - as well as any other event you want to throw at him! Open for anything.
The Story:

The first time Newt sees one of the shimmering rips, he is hesitant. The last one like that he saw led to him seeing Tina executed. Because of him.

Yet Newt's own nature gets the better of him, and he can't resist moving closer. Not even realizing he's touched it until he finds himself standing in the middle of a very familiar classroom. Nothing seems to have changed in potions since he himself attended Hogwarts.

Laughing, he starts exploring a school he knows well, seeking out whatever changes their might be. Exploring the quidditch pitch on foot and with broom, the classrooms, even seeking out the Hufflepuff common room, delighting in a chance to be back at Hogwarts since he was kicked out.

Whenever he finds himself back in Wonderland though, Newt starts seeking out other of those rips, trying to find his way back to Hogwarts. It is taking the chance with whatever kinds of worlds and events he might experience, but that's worth it in his mind to find Hogwarts again.

"There's movies about magic in your world?" No one has mentioned this to him, not that it was typical. Certainly he's read a book or two from the library that were created a long time after the world he knew, but that hasn't made him realize until now how pervasive such fields of thought might be.

"It makes me wonder then if they're hidden in your world as they are in mine. The magical people in your world. If they exist," he says, smiling and allowing for the possibility that they don't exist, though he wonders now.

"It's a child's toy," he admits. "We call it a snitch and use them for a flying game on brooms called Quidditch. As for the magic? Much as your world does for science from what I can tell. To make our world easier to live in, to protect ourselves, and to study the world around us, muggle and wizarding alike."

"Yeah," Chloe responds, although her concentration is fixated on the toy for the time being. "I mean, we have movies about all kinds of things... Books, too. But there have always been stories about magic since... Forever, I guess."

It makes her wonder, too. Chloe would have never even considered such a thing, but knowing what she does now about God and Lucifer and angels, believing things could exist like magic or vampires or werewolves in her world isn't as foreign as she once would have believed. "I used to read my daughter stories about it. But that's all it ever was, just stories. I'm not so sure anymore, though. I've found out a lot of things I never knew about my world before and honestly, even I can't deny that maybe it does exist in my world and I just don't know."

She hates the idea, only because she hates not knowing if something is true or not. It doesn't really matter in scheme of things; after all, she'll forget everything she has learned here when she goes home. Chloe will go back to being her skeptical self, missing all of the excitement and fear that comes with the realization that the world is so much bigger than you could ever imagine.

"Snitch means a really different thing where I come from," she laughs. "So it's part of a sport?"
