I wonder if Newt “more of a chaser, really,” Scamander ever actually played for his house team at Hogwarts.

Like, imagine little teenage Newt making the Hufflepuff team and being so happy that maybe, maybe he’ll finally fit in somehow. 

Imagine Newt being recognised around school for his position on the Quidditch team, not just for being Theseus’ little brother.

Imagine Hufflepuff playing Slytherin, and Newt looking down to the Slytherin stands where Leta Lestrange is cheering for Hufflepuff, just because that’s Newt up there.

Imagine his teammates celebrating with him after they win the House Cup. Imagine Professor Dumbledore congratulating him.

Just. Imagine Newt. Playing Quidditch.
