Re: adrian m/patrick g
I remember what happened with Newt when we were in school. I know how obscuruses are created, as well, but I'm sure I've had mine since I was small, looking back on it. I never quite knew what was wrong with me growing up, not until the incident Newt was involved with. Up to then, I only knew that it felt like there was something inside me fighting to get out, and I was sure it was dangerous, and I wasn't much good with proper magic. Obscuruses aren't much talked about in the magical community. I think they prefer to pretend we only exist at the margins of society, and are rare even there. Once I knew what it was I promised myself never to let it harm anyone again.
