Chapter 5

     "You know, darling, I think you're absolutely ravishing today if I do say so myself." A young man in his early teens says as he took a girl's hand and about to kiss the back of it. She was also in her early  teens. She rolls her eyes and pulled back her hand from his and pushes his face away playfully.

     "I told you to not call me 'darling' and to not call me 'ravishing', Eddie." He pouts slightly before smiling widely again.

     "But you are ravishing, (Y/n) my love!" (Y/n) rolls her eyes.

     "I'm not your 'love' either. And quit with that formal talk. No thirteen year old boy should be talking like that." Eddie frowns slightly.

     "That's just how I talk." He says as he leans close to her, "And the ladies love it." He wiggles his eyebrows. She scoffs and playfully pushed his face away again.

     "Right. Most will. But not me." He pouts.

     "Aw c'mon, (Y/n). Why do you have to be so cold-hearted?"

     "I am not. Besides, it's not like you've flirted with enough girls here in Ilvermorny."

     "Is someone jealous~?" Eddie teases with a grin as he wrapped his arms around her from behind.

     "No," (Y/n) scoffs, "I just feel bad for those girls who fall for your tactics of 'flirtation'." He frowns and rests his head on top of her head. 

     "You really are cold-hearted, love." She rolls her eyes.

     "Whatever." Eddie smiles widely, his sky blue eyes sparkling.

     "That's why I like you so much! That's why you're my best friend!" He says hugging her, "You're just soft on the inside when you don't even know it!" (Y/n) smiles and hugs his arms.

     "Whatever, you dummy..."

     (Y/n)'s eyes shoot open as the knocking on the door had woken her up. She tiredly sat up and looked at the time. It was twelve in the morning and she was still in her office. The knocking continued and she groaned in annoyance, "Who is it?" She rubs her face tiredly.

     "Graves." Says the male Auror, "May I come in?" (Y/n) slightly groans internally and she opened the door with just the wave of her hand. Percival walks in as the door closed behind him.

     "What do you want, Graves?" She asks in annoyance and sleepiness. 

     "Shouldn't you be heading home by now?" He asks with a brow raised as his eyes wandered to the stack of half-finished paperwork on her desk.

     "I have the same exact question for you, Mr.Graves." (Y/n) mutters, rubbing her face in attempt to wake herself up a bit as he walked towards her desk.

     "Well, I was just heading home since I've finished my paperwork." Percival says, still looking at her pile of work before looking back at her, "Seems like you haven't finished yours yet."

     "Oh, Merlin's beard, Graves! You're a bloody freaking genius!" (Y/n) retorted with sarcasm and annoyance as she rubbed her eyes. Percival's eye twitches in annoyance.

     "Well, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." He says as with his hands in his coat pockets. (Y/n) scowls in major annoyance.

     "Not only that but I also woke up on my desk." She growls at him.

     "You shouldn't be sleeping on the job then." He growls slightly back as he tried to keep a calm composure.

     "I wasn't even on a job but doing stupid and ridiculous amounts of paperwork instead. AND I would've been peacefully sleeping if you hadn't woken me up." 

     "Oh, so it's my fault then?" Percival says with a small scowl as he leans onto her desk, "It's my fault I woke you up from your beauty sleep!"

     "Yes! Now, if you could just let me be and  go on your merry way, I wouldn't be in a bad mood and arguing with you!' (Y/n) says in a accusing manner as she stood from her chair and leaned onto her desk as well. They both glared at one another and Percival sighs as he looks down with his eyes closed. He knows that they both wanted to go home and sleep as he backs away.

     "Fine. I apologize, (L/n). Just clean up for now and finish it tomorrow." He says in a once again calm manner. She looks at him, slightly surprised.

     "But these are supposed to be done tomorrow. More than likely tomorrow as in today" He sighs slightly as he pinched between his eyebrows.

     "That's why I'm giving you until the afternoon to finish them. Now hurry up and go home." (Y/n) stands there slightly in aghast. She looks down and nods, understanding that he wanted sleep too. They both needed sleep and a bed. (Y/n) started to clean up her papers and re organised her desk, her eyelids getting droop as she slipped her jacket on. Percival sigh and heads out. As he walks out and down the hall, he hears a faint thump come from (Y/n)'s office. He walks backwards since he was only a couple feet away from her office as he got back, Percival looks in her office and see (Y/n) passed out on the floor with her coat on. Percival facepalms mentally as he rubbed between his eyes, walking over to her sleeping figure and crouching beside it.

     "Miss (L/n)." He says as he nudged her shoulder, no response came from her, "(L/n)." He says again, her only response was a soft snore. He sighs and looks at her for a moment. Deciding whether to leave her here or carry her home. Percival shakes his head as he gently picks her up and held her bridal style. "It's only twelve in the morning too, she can't be this tired..." He mutters as he starts walking out, closing the door behind him. The elevator doors open and he steps in, "Main lobby." He says to Red as he leans against the elevator wall for support.

     "Why are you carrying, (L/n)?" Red asks as he presses the button. Percival sighs and shakes his head.

     "She fell asleep on the floor." The goblin nods as the doors open and Percival steps out, "Have a good night, Red."

     "You too, Graves." Percival walks down the stairs and pushed the door open with his back. He steps outside and onto the sidewalk. The street lights on as very few people walked passed him. Percival sighs as he still held (Y/n) in his arms and he looks down at her. (Y/n) had a calm and innocent look to her face while she slept. He can't help but kinda admire her restful features before looking back up.

     'If I remember, her apartment should be on 32nd street if I remember correctly...' He thinks to himself as he walked right. Percival ignored some strange looks by the very few he passed by as he walked, absentmindedly holding her closer to himself and protectively almost. Unknowingly to him, (Y/n) was just slightly awake as she felt somebody carrying her and the sound of footsteps. She panics slightly before she smells an almost familiar scent of cologne. Opening her eyes just a tiny bit, she looks up to see Percival through her blurred vision. She urged the feeling of scrambling out of his arms and yelling at him. But her body wouldn't move out of sleep and she mentally sighed as she gave in and fell back into slumber, with a faint and small smile on her lips. 

     Percival finally gets to her apartment and opens the door. It was hard enough to get into the building without being too loud in his steps. He closes the door behind him and flicked the switch with his elbow which illuminated the room with light. Percival looked around her living room and thought it was homey like. Soon a custard colored ball of fur runs up to him and starts nudging his leg. Percival looks down in slight panic before he calms down and looks at the creature with a slightly confused looked, 'She owns a Puffskein...?' Then a small catlike creature with spotted fur, outsize ears, and a tail like a lion's hisses at him. 'And she owns a Kneazle?' And then creature that resembled a Jack Russell terrier with a forked tail barks at him. 'AND a Crup?!'

     The Kneazle and Crup continue to threaten him as the Puffskein continued to nuzzle his leg. "I was just taking her home since she passed out..." He reasons in a hushed whisper. The two creatures hushed and they glared at him as he walks to her bedroom. He gently place (y/n) down in her bed and pulls the sheets over her, tucking her in slightly. Percival looks at her again as he tucks strands of her hair away from her face and behind her ear, a faint smile on her lips which makes the corners of his mouth twitch slightly upward as he can't help but smile a tiny bit.  His fingers brush faintly across her cheek as he's in awe slightly at her beauty for a moment before he pulls his hand back and stands up, rubbing the nape of his neck. 

     He watches the Kneazle and Crup jump onto the bed and lay next to their owner, they continued to glare at him as the Puffskein tried to get up on the bed. Percival picks it up and drops it next to sleeping (Y/n), it emits a low humming sound as it cuddles her. Percival sighs slightly as he looked at the creatures, 'Let's hope she has a license for having ownership of these things...' He thinks to himself as he begins walking out of her bedroom, closing the door behind him and out of her apartment. Percival gets outside and looks around before he Disapparates.

A/n: I've been going too much into the fandom that I had to buy the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them original screenplay and the Filming of FBAWTFT book. God, what is Fantastic Beasts doing to me...? >.<'
