Darkness Among us [1] Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them

"MACUSA"

Kenna and Graves headed to Woolworth building. Kenna followed Graves around due to him being the one knowing New York.

Graves looked over his shoulder at the foreign witch as she looked at the door. The words plastered on the door had rearranged magically giving her the impression this was a superficial muggle place.

Graves turned the knob twice, opening the door, allowing Kenna walking first. The woman witnessed with a grin how the entire structure changed from muggle construction to a magical sight.

The building was crowded from witches and wizards going from here and there with elves working as usual.

Graves took the lead, reaching an elevator, all the while Kenna admired the giant clock she assumed how Americans measured their exposure to muggles.

An Elf greeted Graves as he indicated where to go. "Major Investigation Department"

The Elf obediently complied and the foreign witch and local wizard were lead down to their destination.

"McKenna Page. The Minister of London has spoken so highly of you" Madam President, Seraphina Picquery commented once Kenna introduced herself.

"Sorry for the late arrival" Kenna told them slightly awkward, rubbing her forearm "I got... distracted"

"Ms. Page has witnessed with her own eyes the destruction of this...." Graves trailed off.

"Beast" An auror quipped looking at the moving newspaper.

Graves clenched his fist lightly, nodding "Yes. A beast. Ms Page has witnessed it"

"So I guess I have no choice but to let our guest to enter our investigation" The president said looking over at the quiet witch "I've been told of the successful rate of crime you've stopped since you entered the Auror training program on England"

Kenna shifted uncomfortably for having the attention, giving a sheepish shrug while rubbing her arm self-conscious.

"It came to me as a surprise as well..." Kenna told them quietly.

Unlike her, most of her fellow Auror trainees were Gryffindors and were skeptical a Ravenclaw like herself was going to be able to keep up much less catch her first criminal without help.

"I was informed as well about your investigation about Grindelwald" Picquery added.

Graves looked up Kenna curiously and with a glint of something Kenna couldn't decipher.

Kenna hesitated, licking her lips "Well, I wouldn't say a lot about it but-"

"Do you think, Ms Page this could be related to Grindelwald's work on Europe?" The president interrupted.

Kenna shook slightly her head, frowning "I wouldn't be so sure..."

"I was there..." Graves was the one to speak over Kenna making her grit her teeth in annoyance, taking a deep breath to calm herself "This is a beast" A lamp flickered slightly from next to Graves making him glance at it smirking slightly for a second before composing himself, adding quietly "No human could do what this thing is capable of, Madam President"

Kenna couldn't be more agree as she nodded slowly her head. She was getting an idea of what could it be, but she wasn't sure 100% about it for saying it out loud.

And it didn't involve Grindelwald at all.

"Whatever it is, one thing is clear" Picquery began sharply "It must be stopped" Kenna looked up "It's terrorizing No-Majs and when No-Majs are afraid, they attack. This could mean exposure, it could mean war"

The sudden silence was interrupted by footsteps behind them and Kenna couldn't help but feel grateful with whoever interrupted them.

The topic was getting darker for her taste.

Kenna turned around, her eyes widening recognizing the man from the ship.

Newt Scamander gave the woman a sheepish smile as he recognized her as well. He had suspected she had been a witch since he saw her at the station but in case she wasn't he hadn't said anything. Newt still couldn't help but feel she looked familiar but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember from where and when.

Kenna sighed sympathetically at the American witch escorting Newt when she was silenced by the president for whatever she was there for. She too was once on the same position years prior with the minister and her trainer when she first started her career and that wasn't pretty.

The woman quickly nodded dismissed once she knew she wouldn't be listened to and walked away with the wizard out of the their sights.

"I'm gonna..." Kenna spoke rubbing her arm awkwardly while she pointed behind her, breaking the silence.

"Ms Page hasn't had the opportunity on getting to know New York and I'm sure that's what she fancies to do" the Auror said recognizing the urgency on the socially awkward looking witch.

Kenna nodded eagerly her head, grateful for the man's easily form of speech to save her from having to speak herself.

Since little, Kenna had been to quiet and shy to speak. She couldn't force words out of her so easily as people could without getting frustrated or angry and bad things tended to happen once she got angry.

That's why she spoke so little, soft and slow as to communicate without difficulty.

Madam President surveyed Kenna for a moment before nodding her head slowly "That's alright. You can be dismissed" she allowed. Kenna sighed a little nodding her head curly, turning around "Ms Page. While you are sightseeing the city, please take a look around the chaos and see what you can find out"

"Of course, Madam President" Kenna nodded her head and glanced over her shoulder one more time before walking away.
