——————————
Not long after being placed in the MACUSA holding cell, three women dressed in white coats arrived. They opened the barred door without word, collecting Hermione, Newt and Tina, swiftly escorting them out of the cell, as Jacob protested from his place against the wall.
The three women lead the trio down to a dark basement, away from the cell and Newt turns, looking back to Jacob still held in the cell, now very much alone.
"It was good to make your acquaintance, Jacob, and I hope you get your bakery." Newt says to Jacob over his shoulder, truly meaning every single word.
Hermione gives Jacob a small smile of her own, her expression falling as she notices the frightened look on the poor man's face as he clutches at the bars of the cell, left behind. He waves forlornly after the trio as they're lead deeper into the depths of the MACUSA.
Hermione examines the interrogation room around her, her and Newt's hands bound behind their backs and uncomfortably seated in hard metal seats across from Graves. Hermione ignores Graves and the bright light pointed directly at the pair choosing instead to focus on the room around her. It's a small, bare room with black walls and a distinct lack of windows, a single door behind them, the only means of escape. Graves sits with his shoulders back, posture strong, a file open in front of him. Beside her Newt stares at the man across from them, squinting, the bright light shining directly into his eyes.
Finally Tina stands behind the pair, flanked by who she learned would soon be their Executioners.
Clearly they aren't so lax when it comes to Criminals in America. She thinks with a shake of her head, turning to focus on Graves as he speaks. Easily guessing what their sentence would be.
"You're an interesting pair." Graves begins looking between Hermione and Newt, an intrigued look entering his eyes as he lingers on Hermione for a beat too long before he averts them once more.
"Very interesting..." A pause. "I'm most interested to hear what you both have to say for yourselves, but let's start with Mr. Scamander." He says with a tone of finality.
"You're an interesting man, Mr Scamander." He begins, focusing solely on Newt.
"Mr. Graves-" Tina intones from behind, her shoes scuffing the floor as she moves forward.
What is she a child? Hermione scoffs, as Graves holds a finger to his lips, signalling for Tina to be silent. The gesture patronising, but authoritative.
From the corner of her eye Hermione notices that Tina looks kowtowed, the young woman obeying quickly, stepping back into the shadows. Graves takes a moment to examine the file laid out before him.
"You were thrown out of Hogwarts for endangering human life-" He begins, addressing Newt.
"That was an accident!" Newt argues in his defence.
"-with a beast. Yet one of your teachers argued strongly against your expulsion. Now, what makes Albus Dumbledore so fond of you?" Graves asks.
And what makes you so interested in where Albus Dumbledore's attentions lie? Hermione questions silently, eyes narrowing as she stares at Graves, a curious expression crossing her face. She can't quite place what it is, but there's something off about the man.
No matter the time period it always comes back to the great Albus Dumbledore. She thinks in a sardonic tone.
"I really couldn't say." Newt responds, voice somewhat calmer now.
