Are You Mister Graves? {Percival Graves x Reader}

Chapter 9

     Queenie hurriedly made her way to Percival's office with a tray of coffee in her hands. Percival had called her over to his office and she felt as if Tina got herself into trouble. She got to his office and knocked on his door, "Mr.Graves? You called for me?" The door opened and Percival sat at his desk, working on paperwork.

     "Come in." He said without looking up at her. Queenie nodded and walked in with the tray in her hands. The door closed by itself behind her and locked. Percival looked up and sees her holding the tray of coffee. "You didn't have to bring up coffee you know. You're not in trouble and neither is your sister."

     "I know. But I had a feeling that we're gonna be having a very long and serious discussion." She said, placing the tray on his desk.

     "You read my mind once you got my call, didn't you?" He asked. Queenie looked down at the ground.

     "I'm sorry." She said quietly.

     "No no. It's fine really. So you know why you're here and what we are going to talk about. right?" Queenie nodded. "Good so I don't need to explain why you're here."

     "It's about (Y/n) and the mission tomorrow." Queenie said. Percival nodded.

     "Yes. Now, Queenie, how much of (Y/n)'s past do you know?" He asked as Queenie thought for a moment on how to answer this question.

     "To be honest, Mr.Graves, I know almost everything about her past. You see, I can get into more depth into someone's mind when they're mentally hurt. And (Y/n)'s been hurting a lot and her emotions are so strong that I'm more and more in depth of her mind than other minds. Today even, she's been emotionally hurting more than other days but it's more of anger than sadness." Queenie said as she tucked some of her hair behind her ear.

     "I see. Do you mind telling me about her past?"

     "Why?" Queenie asked him as she looked at Percival distrustfully.

     "So I can be prepared ahead of time while in Pennsylvania." Percival says as he took his coffee and was but about to sip it before stopped before it touched his lips, "And don't worry. I'll be sure that (Y/n) doesn't know that you told me what you're going to tell me now." He reassured as he continued to sip his coffee. Queenie is quiet for a moment before sighing slightly.

     "Well, (Y/n) was born and grew up in (Y/Home Town) as we already know. She wasn't close to her family since they were running low on money so they threw her out of the household since she was the youngest out of the four children. So (Y/n) was one of the kids, and probably the only, in her hometown who isolated herself from the other kids since she lived her childhood in homelessness and hatred. Always cold towards others. Lived as an orphan. And being homeless only meant that she had no other choice but steal food for her own survival. But that all stopped when she met him. They were best friend from ages of 6 to 18 years old, best of friends for 12 years. He took care of her and made her feel loved like they were brother and sister." Queenie smiled to herself when she remembered one of (Y/n)'s memory, "If you were a Legilimens, Mr.Graves, you will certainly enjoy her happiest memories with him. Anyway, they grew up together and attended Ilvermorny together as well, both in the same house which was Thunderbird ("House Horned Serpent is better..." Percival muttered. "No, House Pukwudgie is!" Queenie argued.). They were so close that some students believed they were a couple. But they weren't."

     "Just really close friends." Percival says as he was intrigued by (Y/n)'s history. Queenie nodded.

     "Although he did show much liking to her, even though he would flirt with other girls, but she would always turn him down in a cold manner, even though that was just how she was from living a harsh childhood, but he would always smile it off and say how he appreciates that they're still best friends. They were the only ones who understood each other since his mother died a few years after their friendship started and his father had turned him down and ignored him, almost having him take care of himself. But they stayed by each other's side through the toughest of times. But that's when the attack of 1917 in (Y/Home Town) struck. As you heard from (Y/n)'s rant during the meeting earlier, the group killed almost everyone. And that she lost something important to her so she was gonna do the same to them for revenge and justice." Queenie looked up at Percival, "And you can guess what she lost during that attack..."
