"Madam President! They've found him!" 
"Seraphina Picquery turned away from the board of papers. "I want the best healers attending him." 
"Yes Ma'am." The auror hurried away. 
"Tell Charles he is in charge, while I'm gone!" She called to him, referring to her chief of staff. There was only one place to go. 

Hogwarts - Dumbledore's office

"Who are you?" Madam Picquery asked, brushing ash off her navy robes. 
"Albus Dumbledore. You must be Madam Picquery, Anna spoke highly of you."
"Ah Dumbledore, forgive the intrusion." 
"Not at all, would you like a cup of tea?" 
"Please." she said as Albus gestured to chair for her, "Where is Anastasia?" 
"You're down aurors again?" Albus asked.
"No, but there have been significant findings that she needs to be made aware of." 
"Anna is in Paris, Madam Picquery. Credence survived and has gone there in the hopes of finding his family." 
The kettle began to whistle and Albus went about pouring into into cups. 
"As soon as she returns, tell her we found Percival Graves. I should have further details of his condition then." 

Albus handed her the cup, "Of course." He took a seat at his desk. "She's missed him terribly." 
"Not that she would ever admit it." Madam Picquery said with a smile. "They were pretty much inseparable when they met, taught him German too."
"Really? Well Anna was very good with multiple languages." Albus smiled. 
"She was good at everything she did." 

They chatted for a while, but Madam Picquery had to get back to MACUSA. 
"We shall keep in touch Albus. Do not distract Anastasia with the news quite yet. Let come back here."
"Of course and feel free to drop by anytime." Albus gave a small bow and She left with whoosh of green flames. "Oh Anna, come home soon." 

Paris - Nicholas Flamel's house

"Hey Newt, Tina's lookin awfully lonely up here. Maybe you should come up and keep her company." Jacob said to the open case. "I'm going to go look for food, in I don't know. The attic." 
"There is no food here Jacob. Actually doesn't seem to be anyone here." Anastasia groaned, "This isn't one of Albus' little ploys is it?"
"No I don't think so." Newt said climbing out of the case, "Parasite, there was water dragon in the sewer." 

Newt handed the squirming thing to Jacob who grimaced. 
"It will take time for the poison to leave his system." Newt said. 
"I need to go to the ministry, tell them my findings." Tina said reaching for coat and running out the door.
"Tina!" Newt called after her.
"Chase after her." Jacob told him. "Okay so what do we do now Ms. Grindelwald?" 
"Oh hello, Albus said some friends might be stopping by." 

"Nicholas!" Anastasia gave the man a gentle embrace. 
"Oh Anastasia, you my dear haven't changed a bit." Nicholas gave a little wave to Jacob. "Who's your friend?"
"Jacob Kowalski. Jacob, Nicholas Flamel." 
"How do you do?" Jacob shook his hand. 
"Very well, I'm afraid we keep no food in the house though." 
Off of Jacob's look, Anastasia explained, "He' s an alchemist and therefore immortal."
"Oh, you don't look a day over 375." Jacob said. 

Behind them a crystal ball began to glow. 
"The cemetery?" Anastasia questioned.
"Hey, that's Queenie. Hey baby, stay there." Jacob said, "Thank you Mr. Flamel." 
"Jacob!" Anastasia threw her hands up. "Nicholas tell Albus what's going on. I need to go after him." 

"Its to..." Nicholas sighed as the door slammed. "Dangerous."
