A thanks to LaughUrHeartOut for pointing our my mistake on writing 'Darknes' in the title instead of 'Darkness' how it should be. Thank you friend :)
After encountering the identity causing havoc, Kenna and Graves headed to Woolworth building, Kenna following Graves around due to him being the one knowing New York.
Graves looked over his shoulder at Kenna 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 and then opened the door allowing Kenna walking first. The woman witnessing with a grin how the entire structure changed from a muggle construction to a magical sight.
The place was crowded from witches and wizards going from there and there, elves working as usual.
Graves again took the lead and they reached an elevator, all the time Kenna admiring 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 Aurors were lead down to their destination
~8~
"McKenna Paige. 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 her politely, rubbing her arm, slightly awkwardly "I got... distracted"
"Ms. Paige 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 and nodded "Yes. A beast"
"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 and gave a sheepish shrug while rubbing her arm self-conscious.
"It came to me as a surprise as well..." Kenna said 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 mush less catch her first criminal without their help
To say they were impressed wasn't as shocking as she felt by her own success after all she could do.
"I was informed as well about your investigation about Grindelwald" Madam president added.
Graves looked up at the witch curiously and with a glint of something Kenna couldn't quit decipher
"Well," Kenna chuckled nervously "I wouldn't say a lot about that but ..."
"Do you think, Ms Paige this could be related to Grindelwald's work on Europe?" The president interrupted her
Kenna looked surprised, "I wouldn't be sure..."
"I was there..." Graves interrupted this time, smirking slightly as Kenna gritted her teeth, seething silently for the interruptions. "This is a beast" A lamp flickered slightly from next to Graves and he glanced at it smirking slightly for a second before composing himself "No human could do what this thing is capable of, Madam President" he added quietly
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" Madam president 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 and her eyes widened recognizing the wizard from the ship.
Newt gave kenna a sheepish smile, now that he confirmed she was a witch. He was sure he recognized her from somewhere when he crashed against her, but he still couldnt remember exactly from where and when, it was making him feel slightly frustrated
Kenna sighed sympathetically at the American witch escorting the wizard 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 go..." Kenna spoke rubbing her arm awkwardly while she pointed behind her, breaking the silence
"Ms Paige 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 she had developed a form of speech issue after the incident with her father for fear of lashing out. She had to speak in quiet and small phrases as to communicate better, which if not, she could get desperate and angry for her lack of speech.
And bad things tend to happen once she got angry.
Madam President surveyed the foreign witch and nodded her head slowly "Is alright. You can be dismissed" she allowed. Kenna sighed a little nodding her head curtly, turning around "Ms Paige. While you are sightseeing the city, please take a look around the chaos and see what you can find out"
Kenna nodded her head and glanced over her shoulder one more time before walking away
