Are You Mister Graves? {Percival Graves x Reader}

Chapter 27

     "Alohomora." Queenie murmured quietly as she and Jacob stood outside Percival's office, desperately trying to get the door open. She had just rescued Jacob from getting Obliviated and their mission now was to save Tina and Newt, "Aberto..." Queenie said as the door remained locked, she huffed out in frustration, "Ugh. He would know a fancy spell to lock his office." She whined and tried a few more times. Jacob quickly glanced around before giving the door a heavy kick, making it break open. They both rush in as Queenie grabs Newt's case and Tina's wand.

     "What are you two doing here?" A voice asked, making them jump and look at the doorway with wide eyes. There stood (Y/n) with a blank expression, her lips set in a thin line as her eyes bored into the two with her wand gripped in her hand.

     "I could ask you the same thing." Jacob said as Queenie nudged him and looked pleadingly at (Y/n), knowing how high (Y/n)'s position as an Auror is despite being her best friend.

     "(Y/n), please. Teen's in trouble and we can't afford to waste any time. Please don't report us to Percival." Queenie pleaded softly as (Y/n) only stared at her and began to approach her with a very threatening aura, making both Queenie and Jacob take a step back. Once a foot or two away from them, the young Auror looked at Queenie with a very saddened and exhausted expression. Her feelings come off really strong that made Queenie read her mind and see what had happened moments before and back at the apartment. This made Queenie look saddened as well while looking at her best friend forlornly. "Oh sweetie... This must be really hard on you." She said quietly as (Y/n) grimaced and looked to the side.

     "It doesn't matter. Besides, I came in here to get their stuff too but it's good that you two are here which saves me a lot of time. C'mon, we gotta stop the execution and hide away somewhere." She said while gesturing her head to the side while walking over to the door, her words surprising the two as they followed after. She looked back at them with slight confusion as they walked through the corridors to the elevator, "What?"

     "You could get in serious trouble, (Y/n)!" Queenie said, "You'll get demoted or worse, fired. And what about Percival? If he found out that you're helping us, he'll go nuts!" She exclaimed as (Y/n) abruptly stopped walking, making them stumble to a stop as she turned and faced them, the elevator siting behind her.

     "I'd rather lose my job than let my friends die wrongly." She said as Queenie blinked a few times in surprise, "And I don't care what Percival thinks, because I at least know where my heart and morals lie where he lacks that knowledge." (Y/n) said before turning back around and stepping into the elevator, "Now let's go and get all of us out of here quickly, I got a plan." She said as Queenie and Jacob look at each other and back at the Auror before nodding and stepping into the elevator. (Y/n) presses the button to the basement and the elevator shoots down.

     Newt and Tina sprint through the basement, sprinting around the corner and almost collided into Queenie and Jacob who had walked briskly through the basement. They all had a look of panic on their faces as Newt sees (Y/n) with Queenie and Jacob to his surprise.

     "Miss (L/n)?" "(Y/n)?" Both Newt and Tina exclaim in confusion.

     "What are you doing?" Tina asked as (Y/n) looked at her, chin up and looking rather serious and composed out of the other four panicked persons.

     "Helping you guys get out of here." She said as Tina opened her mouth to protest that this will get her in trouble and she raises a hand to silence her. Queenie gestures to Newt's case and (Y/n) looked at Tina, Jacob, and Newt, "Get in." She said bluntly.

     Percival moved down the stairs leading to the cells in the basement with urgency, there was a look of panic on his face.
