Summary

Newt was essentially frog-marched into the director's office, and at this point, felt very put out by the whole affair. He rather thought he had been man-handled enough for the past 24 hours. This was certainly some way to treat a helpful informant.

Then, he saw the man at his desk, and his jaw dropped. “You?”

The director of magical security looked up, already scowling, and recognition flared in his eyes. “You,” he growled.

Newt blinked for a few moments, glanced around, and mindlessly tugged a bit at the magical binds around his wrists. “I’m s-sorry, but is this how you treat everyone who walks through MACUSA’s doors? It seems a bit extreme and unnecessarily aggressive.”

--

In which Newt gets his latch fixed, so his creatures don't escape, Graves is never Grindelwald, and Newt immediately knows what the problem is (those big, gaping holes in the city were not caused by any of his creatures, thank you very much).

Or, Newt Scamander and an exasperated, smitten Percival Graves save the wizarding world.
