Hmm...remember Newt's older brother? Theseus? The great war hero? What if he had a child, but for some reason couldn't, or didn't want to keep her? So Theseus left the girl at his younger brother, Newt's house. He raised her on his own, and takes he...
"Somebody followed us." Newt muttered as he paced around. Kat was sitting on one of the camp beds, legs swinging while Jacob was sitting on a box, looking nervous.
"Could it have been Tina and Q-Queenie?" Jacob stuttered on the latter. Kat tilted her head curiously, wondering what happened.
"Maybe." Newt said. "There is a slim chance."
"Who are they?" Kat wondered.
"Two girls we met."
"Are you getting married?" Kat asked innocently.
"W-what? No!" Newt and Jacob said together.
"Okay..." Kat shrunk back a bit. Just then, a knocking noise was heard from the top of the case. Newt strode towards it. And opened it. Kat heard silence, and Jacob stood up and followed Newt out.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Kat muttered as she hurried out as well. Her eyes widened as she saw a bunch a famous world leaders around. Then Kat turned and saw the hot dog lady.
"It's you! We kept bumping into y-" Kat began before she was interrupted.
"Scamander?" Kat whipped her head around at another British voice. She ducked her head when she saw the British Minister of Magic. "Theseus Scamander?" Kat stiffened at the sound of her father's name. Newt noticed and squeezed her shoulder.
"The war hero?" Another woman asked.
"No, this is his little brother. And Merlin - Theseus's daughter. And what in the name of Merlin are you two doing in New York?"
Newt fumbled for his excuse. "I came to buy an Appaloosa Puffskein, sir."
The Minister evidently was suspicious. "Right. What are you really doing here?"
"Goldstein." Another woman caused Kat to look over, and she recognized her as Madam Seraphina Piquery.
"And who is this?" She nodded her head towards Jacob. Kat tensed up, knowing the strict laws they had in America about Muggles.
"This is Jacob Kowalski, Madam President, he's a No-Maj who got bitten by one of Mr. Scamander's creatures." Kat immediately heard the murmurings around.
"No-maj?"
"Obliviated?"
Kat looked to her uncle, who was absorbed in a hologram of a man's body. Kat noticed the marks - she recognized them in the book her uncle has written in.
"Merlin's Beard." Newt said breathless all of a sudden.
"You know which of your creatures was responsible, Mr. Scamander?" The Chinese Mistress of Magic asked.
Newt's eyes were glued to the hologram. "No creature did this...Don't pretend! You must know what that was; look at the marks..." Newt paused. "That was an Obscurus."
"You go too far, Mr. Scamander. There is no Obscurial in America." Madam Piquery snapped, "Impound that case, Graves!" A man reached out a hand and the case flew into his hands. Newt drew his wand hastily.

"No...Give that b-!" Newt tried to say but was interrupted. Kat felt scared now, clinging on to her uncle's wandless hand.
"Arrest them!" Madam Piquery commanded. Kat let out a scream as the three adults were thrown in the air then forced on their knees. Another person, most likely an Auror of sorts, stepped forward and pressed their wands into the adults necks. Kat tried to reach then, but Graves had stood up and grabbed her.
"No!" Kat screamed, struggling. "Let me go! Daddy!" Newt looked towards her sadly, yet desperately.
"I will find you, Kat. Wherever they take you. Don't be scared. I'll be here."
"No!" Kat sobbed as they were dragged away. "No." her voice became quieter, and her chest stopped heaving. Graves cradled her to his chest, and Kat felt a shiver pass through her body. She looked around hopelessly to see all the leaders staring at her, unable to meet her eyes.
"I'll take care of her." Graves said quietly as he picked up the case and the limp and unresisting Kat.
They exited the large room. Kat looked around to see where her uncle went, but saw no sign of him. "We'll go to my office first. I am Percival Graves, by the way. I know a place where someone can take care of you." Kat barely listened as a tear rolled down her cheek.
A/N: Hey guys! The next few parts won't follow the story exactly, but the ending will meet up. Who do you think Graves is going to take Kat to? ~Bella
