Common Good

New York 1924

"Tina Goldstein!" Anastasia had Percival and several others hot on her heels. "What were you bloody thinking?" She hissed casting a memory charm around the area. 

"I was only trying to help him! Why must we let this go unpunished?" Tina said defiantly. 

"It is not our responsibility, Tina. I understand wanting to get involved with the injustice of the world but you can't reveal yourself." She sighed, "This is why we are feared, this is why we hide."

Percival placed a hand on Anastasia's shoulder, "Tina, I know you meant well. Perhaps it's best to take this back to MACUSA, Lest other No-Maj come to poke their noses where they don't belong. He nodded to the other aurors who were obliviating all who witnessed the spectacle, while the three apparated back to the Ministry. 

"You did what?" Seethed President Picquery. Tina looked down ashamed of herself, "I'm sorry Madam President, but I..."
"No Ms. Goldstein, there are laws for a reason. For our own protection. And I will not have you disregarding them when we are still under threat from both magical and non-magical sources." 

Tina was finally dismissed and there would be an informal hearing later on. Both Percival and Anastasia bolted for their shared office. They leaned against the door, "Give everyone a chance to cool off. Then we can discus this." muttered Percival watching as Anastasia went to her desk. "Are you alright Stasia?" He asked. 

"I'm fine. Tina's heart is in the right place." She pinched the bridge of her nose. "There should be more we can do, even without magic." 

"They're a prominent group." Percival said pulling up chair to her desk. "I don't know if our word would mean anything to them or not." 

"We would have to reveal the whole forgetting part, everyone had been obliviated." Anastasia glanced at the pile of paper work. "Care to join me?" 

"Why not." Percival smiled, "Perhaps we could go out to dinner afterward. Relax a little."

"That sounds wonderful." And they got to work.
