"Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul, I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go."

        "Newt!" Beverly squealed bursting in his room at the crack of dawn. "It's Christmas!"

"Let me sleep. Christmas is later." He mumbled into his pillow causing Beverly to take it as a challenge.
"Okay..." she pretended to walk away, giggling quietly as soft snores came from his mouth.

And quickly, almost as fast as a Niffler she sprinted, jumping straight on Newt. He let out a 'oomph' as the wind was knocked from him.
"Come on!" She sat on his lower stomach pressing on his chest to get him awake. "Your mom has breakfast!"

"And it's very good if I say so myself." Arabella's voice scared the two as she leaned on doorway with a smirk. "He's ticklish by the way." And Ms.Scamander was gone, leaving Beverly grin at the terrified Newt.

Her legs were on each side of his waist leaving him perfectly defenseless. "Ticklish?"

"I'm not-" She prodded at his side just to test the theory and it proved correct as Newt squirmed underneath her, laughing.
"Are you sure about that?"

Newt laughed underneath her, trying desperately to get away from her assaulting fingers. "Alright! I'm up! I swear it!"

Once she stopped, they were left breathless and in smiles, "Alright, I'm in my snow pajamas and I'm excited for you to open your gifts and your mom said after breakfast so hurry up!"

She jumped off of Newt leaving him there with a stupid, breathless smile plastered on his face as he shook his head at the astounding girl.

        "Happy Christmas!" Theseus greeted as he walked down the stairs, sitting by his mother which happened to be the seat across from Beverly.
"Happy Christmas!" She returned with a sickly sweet smile, forcing herself to be civilized with him.

The breakfast was quite amazing, eggs, pancakes, casserole, biscuits, bacon, and sausage covering the table. The four mindlessly chatted about random things but somehow ended up on the Ministry.

"Have you heard of MACUSA?" Theseus asked looking around the table who nodded. "I'm thinking of working part time for them."

"I never really liked MACUSA." Beverly commented making the older boy look personally offended.

Ms.Scamander looked intrigued about the Slytherin girl. Ms.Scamander and Newt were never fond of MACUSA but didn't go against their families wishes. But the two wanted to hear her opinion on the matter.

"Why's that?" Theseus obviously wasn't used to people even in the slightest, disagreeing with him.
"Well some of their laws, personally, are complete rubbish. They're thinking about basically exterminating magical creatures, and we need them-"

"What ever for?"

This made Newt and his mother want to strangle him but they opted for shutting their mouths.

"Everything's created for a reason. For example the healing purpose's are extensive. Mandrake can be used for petrification, murtlap spit can be used for small cuts. Not to mention how we use magical animals for wands, Phoenix feathers, unicorn tail, dragon heartstring. And the segregation between muggles is strange."

"For a Slytherin you don't act like one, aren't pure blood families important in that house?" It was an innocent curious question so she didn't take it too offensively.
