xenophilius and evan… XENOPHILIUS AND EVAN
i’m sorry but they’re both just so
evan constantly reading about magical healing and even muggle healthcare, and he rambles and rambles on it and it’s utterly monotone and no one even thinks he actually cares about it but god he would die if he couldn’t pursue medicine. he likes dissecting frogs and other small animals and he studies them and he pins butterflies to the wall and he taxidermies and keeps wet specimen. and sometimes he gets trapped in his own head and own little world and nothing else matters and xenophilius knocks on his labs door and he pulls evan up out of hunched over form and off the little stool and he slides the lab coat off evan and coaxes him out of the lab and he rolls his eyes when evan whines a little about not being able to finish his species identification of this new type of creature he found and trapped in a jar.
and xenophilius who LOVES reading and he reads about all sorts of things and he loves magical creatures and he goes out with evan and helps him catch fae and other creatures and he goes swimming with grindylows and mermaids. and he rarely ever speaks but if you ask him about nargles he’s standing up and getting loud and he’s pointing fingers and he’s acting like you don’t understand because no one understands like he does. and he’ll lock himself in the library or go swimming for hours on ends and evan has to remind him he needs food and to not be in the water when it’s below freezing out and reminding him that warming charms don’t count when he’s swimming in water so cold xenophilius had to spell away the ice.
both of them indulging each other in their own interests but also making sure they stay alive (evan telling xeno not to bother a nest of dragons and xeno reminding evan that the fae get angry very fast)
