So we've seen in Harry Potter that squibs aren't expected to live a happy and respected life, and it was probably even worse 70 years ago. So, for any reason, the Scamander parents think that Newt has been born a squib and is doomed to be an outcast in the wizarding community. They make the decision to obliviate him and leave him with a kuggle family and hope he gets a chance at a happier life.
Years go past, the war happens, and Theseus is a famous war hero, still wondering if his little brother is happy. Then his friend in America sends him news of a strange no-maj Brit whose come to America, and apparently made friends with the local magic creatures and generally causing havoc.
Up to you where it goes from there, whether the events of the film still happen, if the brothers recognise each other etc. Just want to see a Newt whose unaware of magic but still in love with all creatures, and a big brother Theseus trying to decide if it's right to tell him the truth.
If you want to make it shippy, Gramander is my jam.
