newt somehow ends up working for/ hanging around macusa after the movie & he gets harassed by some aurors: they think he's totally weird & feel superior to him, because they're better educated than newt - since he was expelled from school and all. (but feel free to choose other reasons as well.)
newt is sort of used to it, so he doesn't do much about it. but his friends find out and get very angry and protective of him.

i'd love this to be all friendships, but i also really adore newt/original!graves...

(i feel like this could be a 5+1 fic, but i'd love whatever format suits you best.)
