Percival Graves + Tina Goldstein (Part 25)

*knock knock knock* Tina knocked on Graves' door and let herself in. He was sat at his desk doing paper work and taking notes.

"Mr Graves, I need you!"

He looked up from his paperwork and frowned. "With what, Goldstein?"

His accent melted Tina and caused her to forget what she needed him for...

He raised his eyebrows and still Tina's mind went blank.

"Tina, if you don't actually need me then leave me be, I have very important work to be getting on with."

"Sorry, I just-" Her mind went blank again.

Graves stood up and walked over to Tina. He put his hands on her upper arms and looked at her concerned. "Are you experiencing a concussion?" He rested the top side of his hand on her forehead to see if she was warm to the touch.

"No, I just need you to send out a warning to New York. There are tens, maybe hundreds of beasts running wild in this city."

Graves didn't seem too bothered. "Are you sure you are ok?" His focus was solely on Tina.

"Hmm. I need you to send out a code red and send someone to this address to catch the man who did it!" Tina passed Graves a folded up piece of paper with Newt's address on it. She tried to give him it, but his hands were too firmly wrapped around her arms. "Mr Graves?."

Percival Graves stared into Tina's dark eyes.

"Tina, your eyes really are marvellous."

She blushed.

"Any man would be lucky to have you."

She blushed and smiled shyly. "Thank you, sir."

"Just like a salamander."

She couldn't keep eye contact with him, he made her blush way too much for her to handle. "Mr Graves, can you send out a code red warning? There are beasts on the loose."

"Hmm, in a second." His face came closer to hers and closed the gap between them. He lined his lips up with hers and they softly kissed each other. Once the kiss was over their lips lingered close together before Tina took a tiny step back from his face. "I'll put out the code red now, off you pop, Miss Goldstein."

Tina left and returned to her office then eventually went home.

*

The very next day she got to work bright and early. She noticed that the code red warning worked as not many wizards and witches were around and a lot of them worked from home as it was safer for them there. Tina was glad to see that she didn't distract Mr Graves too much yesterday.

She reached her desk and unpacked her handbag that held all of her paperwork for the day ahead. As she took her seat and began unloading her bag she noticed a folded up piece of paper on her desk, similar to the one she gave Mr Graves yesterday. She folded it over and read what it said.

'I bet you still taste me on the tip of your tongue.' It said.
