In which Newt Scamander transfers from being home-schooled to attending a state secondary school. He tries to talk to everyone about his special interests and love of animals but it leads him nowhere. His first day ends with a bruise, new bullies, new hangouts, and a mysterious person in a hoodie.
Newt stared at the ensemble of clothes left after shoving his sportswear into a sports bag. He considered each item and how likely it was he’d bother trying to wear them. Strewn across his bed was a pair of black trousers, a white collared shirt, a black sweater, a black pair of unshined shoes, a blue blazer and matching tie. The socks that accompanied the shoes were too plain and not as comfortable as he might have liked. He glanced at the fuzzy yellow socks peeking out of his open wardrobe. Maybe he could get away with switching out a pair of socks. He seized his socks and slipped them onto his feet. Much better, he thought to himself. There was absolutely no way he was wearing the tie that came with the uniform. He preferred bow ties to regular ties and besides, the one in front of him looked like it was made of wool or something else that itched. Everything else would do, he liked wearing a shirt under his sweaters. He shook free of his pajamas and threw each item of clothing, save the tie, on in flashes of white, black, and blue. He fixed his gingery hair by running a hand through it and declared himself presentable. Wrapped his hand simultaneously around the straps of his sports kit and backpack and hauled them onto his shoulders. He scanned the room to be sure he hadn’t forgotten anything and headed out. He took in a deep breath of the chilly September air and embarked on his first day of Year 10 in a state school.
