Yeah nothing much really happened after November. We had a test at the start of december and nothing else seriously happened except for Scorpius's awakened obsession with Rose.

I went back home for Christmas holidays and nothing special EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT TAYLOR RELEASED A WHOLE NEW FREAKING ALBUM CALLED 'MIDNIGHTS' WHILE I WAS STUCK AT AN OLD CASTLE. Been tryna memorize all the songs for a week now and it's going on fine.

As for my mom and dad, they were in Tanzania for some work so my grandma cooked for us and my grandpa as usual would do nothing except sit on the chair and read the newspaper a few hundred times a day.

My great grandparents, the wizarding world celebrities just take care of their three kneazles and attend a few conferences here and there at the ministry.

My ultimate job is sleeping, working out for 2 hours, eating and taking care of my Siberian husky, Arctic and NETFLIX. That's my life summary. I'm almost done with most of my homework as I finished half of them on the way to King's cross from Hogwarts in the Hogwarts express.

My life was boring, empty and void as usual. The only fun thing is watching people casually die in this anime called jujutsu kaisen. My house is on top of a cliff so sometimes I go to the edge and wonder how it would be if I ended my boring life to live in a more eventful place like hell.

It didn't seem eventful enough so I usually just have a nice time enjoying the breeze with my doggo and Lorcan's cat and head straight to my garden and play catch, climb trees, pluck fruits, take a dip in the pond and rescue some animals from the nearby forests head down to the beach at the bottom of the cliff and collect all the trash those bloody muggles dump.

I sometimes even go volunteering and stuff so that I get free food and get a minimum amount of so-called salary.

I go window shopping or to the arcade with Lorcan once in a while but I usually avoid going to town to avoid coincidental meetings with my former muggle school classmates.

Today was no other than a boring normal day on the 17th of December. It was midnight and I was watching a romance anime on my phone when I fell asleep and the phone was plastered to my face.

Everything was peaceful and blank until I heard Lorcan's voice. "Ly! Lys! Lysander!! Wake up bro!!" He said, shaking me violently as I opened my eyes half asleep. "What?" I asked.

"Grandad Newt had a heart attack, everyone went to the hospital and mom and dad are coming back. Grandad Newt's in a serious condition" Lorcan said, ghost struck in fear.

"What?" I asked confused and got up and got my mind clear. A sudden anxiety crossed through me. I didn't even know my grandad Newt well enough to be concerned but there was a feeling of heaviness in me.

I took the phone and checked the time it was 3:47 am. "What do we do?" I asked Lorcan. "What do you mean idiot. I've been trying to wake you up for a long time. You didn't budge. That's why I had to stay back with you or you would get confused and scared" Lorcan said angrily.

"So do we go now?" I asked, feeling guilty. I can't believe I screwed up so bad. "Should we? I'll call grandma?" Lorcan asked, trembling as he clutched his phone. "Grandma doesn't have a phone" I said. "What do we do?" Lorcan said as his lips trembled in fear. My palms got all sweaty and everything seemed so confusing.

Then our landline rang. I got off my bed and rushed to the landline and attended the call. "Hello?" My grandma said over the phone. "Grandma what happened is everything all right is Grandpa Newt doing well? How is his condition? Can you send me the report" I demanded.

"Lysander, grandpa Newt is in a better place now" my grandma sobbed. Everything was blank. "What? What happened?" Lorcan asked as I hung up.

"He's gone"

There was just silence. All our pets and animals were still asleep and the whole house was filled with complete silence and darkness. "So" Lorcan started. "We better wait for mom and dad to come. We should clean the house for the funeral" I said.

The heaviness I felt was different. There was an itch in my throat and it felt like my body joints were nonexistent. I felt weak. In my half awakened state I grabbed a broom and started sweeping. Lorcan attended a phone call from my mom where she told us about the funeral service arriving around 5:30 am.

Me and Lorcan cleaned up the whole house and took a bath and got ready. Both of us dressed up in our black suits as we waited for the arrival of our family members.

The funeral service arrived first followed by my grandparents at 5:45 am. Around 6:38 am my parents arrived. They all quickly dressed to get ready for the funeral.

Since my great grandfather Newton Scamander was a wizarding world celebrity with an order of merlin. The funeral was quite of a public gathering where the minister of magic along with the other heads of the respective departments also were called to attend and pay respect.

The clock struck 7 and the procedures of the funeral had begun with most of the guests already arrived.

Me and Lorcan just stood there at the entrance awkwardly bowing as people gave us their condolences. To be honest though, I didn't know my great grandfather well enough to miss him and cry. I just felt blank cause from now we would be having one less family member.

"I'm sorry for your loss" Lily said as she gave me a hug. WAIT HOW IS SHE HERE ISN'T HER DAD AND MOM ONLY SUPPOSED TO COME? "Why did you come here?" I asked her as she left me. "Well the whole family was invited James and Albus didn't want to come and I thought you would be crying and I wanted to see you cry but you're not so waking up that early was a waste" Lily said in a disappointed tone.

"I would literally punch you but we're in a funeral we have to stay dignified" I said grinning. "Can you both stop bickering like an old married couple? Just go Lily" Lorcan said, frowning. "Don't order me around" Lily said to Lorcan and held my arm and stood next to me.

"Potts, the media is here. Let's make sure we don't make a front cover of the gossip section" I said pushing her away. "I wouldn't mind" she said playfully grinning. I just gave her a judgemental look and went to the backyard of the house to see how the proceedings were going.

Then someone tapped my shoulders, I turned back and saw Rose Weasley. "My condolences to your family" she said professionally as she gave me a hug. "Yeah thanks, you're here cause you're going to be the future minister?" I asked her. "Headmaster of Hogwarts in the making" she said proudly. "So you like handling any rebellious teenagers?" I asked.

"Just go and mind your own business" she said pushing me away. "How is Scorpius doing? You've been looking at him more than your boyfriend lately" I asked grinning. "Don't make me wanna fight right now" Rose said sassily smiling and there was a click. "Rose Weasley and Lysander Scamander how odd" Reena Skeeter said holding her camera.

"We're not a thing" Rose protrested. "Well the people would decide that" she said, giving a cruel smile. "Rose is so not my type. Can you at least spread a rumor about me and someone actually up to my level?" I requested her. "Well, no" she said and walked away with that undignified smile.

Lily came next to me and said, "I was hugging you, I was tugging you, I leave for one second and you make the headlines with Rose". Me and Rose just gave a look of disgust at Lily. "You think it's funny?" Rose asked. "It's not fun stealing other people's boys when you have one of your own" Lily said smiling. Oh gosh that smile. IT LOOKED SO GENUINE EVEN THOUGH IT REPRESENTED PURE SARCASM.

"Ok, look-" Rose started and Lily said, "It's fine" as she walked up to her dad and started hanging on to him. "I didn't know you and Lil-" Rose started as I cut her off and said, "No, she's just attracted to me, she doesn't like me. It's just an illusion which is a part of her delusional dreams" I said. "That's how everything starts" Rose said, smiling. 

"I'll take care of skeeter" I said, changing the topic. "No, I'm better at handling these situations" Rose said as she walked away.

I looked at the formalities happening in the funeral. No one was really depressed about my great grandpa's death. He lived long enough and he lived a good and heartwarming life and now has gone to a better place than he was. No more suffering. No more overdose of medicines. Just a quiet and peaceful soul.

The burial took place in the graveyard near the forest and the gravestone just stood there engraved, 'Newton Artemis Fido Scamander, A loving husband, dad and grandparent'. We laid some pure white lilies on his grave and walked back home.

By 3:00pm all the guests had dispersed and only the Scamander family were here, tired and sleepy. I knew the whole house was going to be gloomy for a few days. I hope this whole situation recovers and we come back stronger.
