His goofy dancing was abruptly cut by Zoe’s tender embrace. He found it amazing that, after all of these years, he could still melt in her arms. This was home. There was no one he felt safer around; vulnerable but feeling like he could do anything with her by his side. 

“Everything, huh?”

Sawyer places his hands on Zoe’s cheeks and squeezes them together, before belching loudly and sneaking in another kiss on her pouty lips. “I love you too, Zoe Scamander. Couldn’t have done it without you.” He chuckles and rests his head in the crook of her neck. If it weren’t for this woman’s support, patience and love, there’s not telling where he’d be. While he’d always been intelligent and creative, Sawyer lacked ambition. Zoe gave him the extra nudge he needed to get off his arse. 

“Now you can officially tell all your girlfriends that your husband is the hottest new business owner in town.”

--

Zoe felt the hairs stands up on the back of her neck as she felt his lips against hers. Not matter what, Sawyer always tasted like fresh mint and she always felt herself shiver as his hands expertly knew her body, placing perfectly in the small of her back. Everything about their embraces reminded her why she was a smitten schoolgirl all those years ago, why she found herself wanting to bump into him in the stone corridors and the way butterflies fluttered in her stomach whenever he smiled at her. The way her cheeks would blush when he sat in front of her in potions class and the irresistible urge to hold his hand on their first walk around the black lake. Despite years of marriage, she still felt the same rush of emotions overwhelm her. 

Pausing she found her lips move slightly, waiting for his to clash back against them and a pout formed when nothing came back to meet them. Abruptly, the pout was taken away replaced with a smirk. The childish side of Sawyer was something she was glad never faded as they grew older together, he remained youthful and cheeky, which she was grateful for. Although sometimes she found herself wishing maturity would take the driving seat a little more often with him.

“I will tell anyone that wants to hear it, darling,” she smiled, running her hands through his short hair.

“I will happily flaunt my wedding ring and tell everyone how amazing my husband is,” she paused, squeezing his shoulder blade. “Now did you sort desert?”

Eli: Because... everyone else is. :(

Eli: You say that now, but when this all runs dry... God, I sound like my mother.

Zoe: Screw what everyone else thinks!

Zoe: When this amazing opportunity comes to an end, you will find something else.

Zoe: You are smart.

[zoeollivander]

Eli

Eli: You're not disappointed?

Eli: I found my path, what I want to do. I love everything about traveling and stuff.

Eli: But it won't last forever.

Zoe: Why would I be disappointed? You are following what is right for you.

Zoe: Do what you love and stay true to yourself, nothing bad can happen when you follow your heart.

Zoe: You never know that.

[zoeollivander]

Eli

Eli: Thanks, Z. You have no idea what that means to me.

Eli: It was just too much. I couldn't keep up with everything. I was miserable. I was failing.

Eli: It wasn't for me and I knew that from the beginning.

Zoe: Then you did the right thing to leave, I'm proud.

Zoe: University isn't your path but something else is.

Zoe: You'll find your path and excel, I know it.

Zoe: Definitely come over.

[zoeollivander]

Eli

Eli: They already know.

Eli: I already got the "i'm disappointed in you" phone call. As if I didn't feel shit enough.

Eli: Thanks, Z.

Zoe: Offft!

Zoe: You shouldn't feel shit, I'm sure you made the best decision for you. F*** em if they don't like it.

Zoe: Always here for you.

Zoe: If you don't mind me asking why did you leave?

[zoeollivander]

Eli

Eli: I dropped out of Uni. They're gonna kill me.

Eli: If I survive, I'll be over.

Zoe: Merlin, Eli!

Zoe: That is some big news to drop on them.

Zoe: If they have a problem with it, Sawyer and me will adopt you.

[zoeollivander]

Eli

Eli: That's the point.

Eli: I do! I have a tense dinner with my parents tomorrow... so... maybe tomorrow night. I might need to get drunk.

Zoe: Intense bonding session with parents is never good...

Zoe: Do you think if your photographer took a picture of your parent's house, it'd make you want to go?

Zoe: Of course you can come for wine and cheese tomorrow night.

[zoeollivander]

Eli

Eli: Hi Zoe!!

Eli: Thanks. My photographer is insanely talented.

Location: London Coffee Shop Time: Morning With: @liliumss​

Caffeine was a beautiful molecule that was essential for Zoe to excel at work, without it she would simply not have the energy to carry out the countless tasks she had each day. Every morning, she waited patiently in the queue of regular strangers that grazed the coffee shop each morning. It was a routine so familiarly carved into her brain, that sometimes she craved to make it slightly different and less mundane. So this morning she decided that she’d pay for the person’s behind her as well. “Good Morning,” she chimed to the girl behind the counter before reciting her order, “I would also like to pay for the person’s behind me.” Turning to face a redheaded girl that was stood behind her she smiled, “What ever you are having I’ll pay.”

Location: Somewhere in Devon Time: Afternoon With: @thewrong-alice

Long walks along the coast was a past-time that Zoe had enjoyed since childhood, which grew further when she started spending the school holidays with Sawyer and his family in Devon. So when Alice suggested they do something that weekend to catch up and put the world to rights, it was a no brainer to suggest that they take a leisurely stroll in the sunshine along the cliffs. The path they took was one she was familiar with, it ambled lazily around the cliffs and eventually led to a small hidden beach that was one of the few in England that was entirely sand. Picnic backed into a rucksack, she waited by the gate of the path for Alice, watching the waves crash against the cliffs.

When she caught sight of Alice, she couldn’t hold back a bright smile. “Hello stranger, long time no see.”

Couple aesthetic Sawyer Scamander and Zoe Scamander

[zoeollivander]

prodigalscamander​:

Sawyer scoffs. To think that Zoe felt at fault for being Zoe was absurd to him. He was the one who’d been wasting time trying to make a name for himself - getting in trouble with the law while doing so. “Ehh. If I’m being honest, you’ve put up with my antics for far too long. 

“It’s about time I’ve made it up to you.” Sawyer digs through his pockets and presents her with the official notification of his shop certified by the Diagon Alley Committee, wrinkled but still stamped, “Scamander’s Enlightened Elixers”. He places a small kiss on her lips and does an offbeat celebratory dance. 

“I’m making moves, baby!”

- Zoe shook her head subtly at his words. “That’s not true,” she protested. Sawyer was the opposite of Zoe in so many ways and he was always actively planning schemes to make money that took up a lot of time. Despite all of this she couldn’t contemplate life without him; he made it exciting and thrilling rather than mundane. He was everything she was scared to be. 

Her eyes fell upon the crinkled document. The one thing that she wished for him to achieve was laying in front of her, she flattened it out on the table scanning the words. “It’s going to need a frame!” The kiss took her by surprise and she found herself longing to have his lips against hers again. 

Rising from her chair, she crossed the space between them and wrapped her arms round his abdomen. “I love you Sawyer Scamander and everything you do amazes me.”

Ed shrugged.  “It’s the way life is,” he explained.  “They’re still my world, so that’s what’s important.”  He offered her a smile and glanced up at the barista that was still struggling a bit.

“That’s actually pretty cool.  I was never all that great at Care of Magical Creatures, but I believe that’s because I wanted to take them all home.”  He was trying carefully to lighten the mood.  “Ollivander and Scamander… damn.  Those are some heavy hitting names there.”

-

Zoe gave a reassuring hum and a nod of the head. “That is very important, children know when they are valued and loved,” she smiled at him wondering for how long he had been struggling with the arrangement of co-parenting.

“Yeah I loved care of magical creatures at school but I did have a Scamander as a study buddy!” she laughed picturing Sawyer in his Ravenclaw robes reciting passages from his fathers book in a funny voice. “We have a Niffler who lives with us and nothing can prepare you for it.”

“Uh yeah, I guess they are,” she replied with a nervousness over her. Her family was her world and she loved them all dearly, but the pressure of being associated to successful families always took its toll. “I think she is making the last drink,” she smiled deviating away from her thoughts.

healer-bones​:

-

“I don’t have custody, unfortunately.”  He said it in passing as if it was no big deal, even if it still hurt.  “Partial custody, but still..”

He managed a chuckle.  “I do?” he asked quietly.  “Edgar Bones, a pleasure to make your acquaintance.  Scamander… like Newt Scamander?”

-

Zoe cleared her throat, feeling slightly awkward at the mans passing comment. She didn’t know what to say but figured anything would be better than standing silently like a weirdo. “I’m sorry to hear that, it must not be an easy thing to cope with.”

“You seem caring and approachable,” she remarked with a smile. “Uh yes Newt Scamander is my father-in-law,” Zoe was use to repeating that comment to most who found her last name familiar. “My maiden name is Ollivander and you most likely got your wand from my father.” 

[zoeollivander]

healer-bones​:

Edgar could only slightly relate to that.  He had set hours, but he often did not follow them, working far more than he was scheduled.  He shrugged with a soft chuckle.  “I do suppose you’re right.”

“I have two daughters.  Lexi and Ella.”  They were his sun and stars.  Nothing else mattered in the world except for them.  Unfortunately, one of his daughters all but hated him, and it hurt more than he would ever let on.

“I’m a Medical Healer,” he replied softly.  “I don’t really have official off the clock time, but I like to pretend I do.”  He chuckled.  “I don’t believe I caught your name.”

-

Zoe glanced over her shoulder and saw the barista start to place numerous cups on the counter. “How is he going to carry all of them?” she queried turning back to the stranger. 

“Two daughters, that must be a handful and yet so fulfilling!” She knew the difficulties children could present and suspected the man in front of her knew of the trails and tribulations of parenthood.

“You had a healer vibe,” she smirked, letting her eyes glaze over the clock above the counter. Ten minutes still to reach the holy grail that is coffee. “Zoe Scamander and yours?”

[zoeollivander]

healer-bones​:

Ed laughed.  “Fifteen minutes is not a very long time.”  He glanced up at the poor barista that was trying to make the large order in a timely manner.  He exhaled slowly and turned back to the woman.  “So you’re a teacher then?  I mean, the whole class and Disney films thing.”

Granted, he would always watch Disney films with his girls when he could.  

“E-mails are evil things.”  As if on cue, his phone dinged with another email.  “But I am off the clock for now, so I can pretend to ignore them for a bit.”

-

“Fifteen minutes can be a long time in certain contexts- for example fifteen minutes until the end of a work day feels like hours,” she retorted with a smile. The sound of the milk streamer started to fill the small shop as the barista tried her best to work as fast as she could.  “Very good deductions skills.” Zoe knew that being a teacher conquered her conversations as she spent most of her time and energy in a classroom. “Disney is always a lifesaver. Do you have any children?”

“Its because they are so easy to send,” she chuckled. “Off the clock for now? Sounds like you do something serious that isn’t just your normal everyday office job.”
