It was early the next morning and Violet hardly slept for her mind was still preoccupied by what all that occurred earlier with Grindelwald.

She dreamt of bringing the dark wizard to justice in order to bring closure to her family and heal as well as move on to the future.

But she had been right in front of him and she had no wand and she had been too preoccupied in using Accio to bring it to her to fight.

But at least Nathaniel came through despite her brother's protest and his protectiveness.

She really need to talk to Eric about everything and than she might understand where her brother is coming from in his revenge plan.

She walked out of her room and the sun was starting to rise. She made her way to the kitchen which Jacob was not up yet but she suspected that he would be soon.

She made some tea and waited a few minutes wondering if Nathaniel had been caught for what he had done yesterday.

She shook her head for she knew Cross since they were at school and he was smart which had led him to being the leader of the MACUSA Retrieval Team.

All of the sudden Newt walked in "Morning Violet how are you?"

Violet broke away from her thoughts and turned to greet him "Morning Newt I'm fine."

Newt sat down across from her pouring them each a cup of tea for he could tell that she was tired. "If you want to talk about anything I'm a good listener."

She smiled for she was thankful that Newt was such a good friend. "I was just thinking about how we can bring down Grindelwald and what happened yesterday."

Newt frowned "We are sorry that happened to you and we are thankful that you weren't hurt Violet. I had a personal encounter with him in New York and he is powerful. I was lucky that day."

Violet forgot that Newt had fought him one on one for a short period of time "He didn't attack me, his gaze like pierced my soul like he knew my power that lie inside of me."

Newt nodded slightly "He probably had a plan in place and luckily for us and your trust in Cross he didn't succeed."

Violet took a sip of her drink "I'm scared Newt." She hoped that he wouldn't think she was weak. She waited to see what he would say.

"I'm not surprised since Grindelwald will try and target you power now, but you have friends who will protect you," Newt said with a smile. It made Violet feel warm inside. She had definitely gained worthwhile friendships in all this madness.

"...and an older brother," a new voice announced. Violet looked over her shoulder in time to see Eric walk into the room. She smiled at him.

"Good morning, brother," Violet said, and Newt poured him a cup of Earl Grey too. Eric took it and glanced down at it in mild disappointment. Violet smirked, she knew Eric preferred black coffee, but was too nice to insult their English hosts.

"Morning Eric," Newt echoed. Eric nodded at them both.

"Hello, Newt, Violet. What are you guys talking about anyway?" He asked.

"Well, Grindelwald and what we need to do to take him down. It's easier said than done, I know." Violet smiled wryly.

It wasn't long before the rest of the group woke up and met in the kitchen as well.

Jacob started breakfast and Tina asked "How are you feeling Violet?"

Violet knew that she couldn't lie again despite trying to hide her feelings and she knew Newt saw right through her. "Well I hardly slept last night."

Eric gave her a concerned look "Violet.."

She put her hand up "I know but my mind kept going back to what happened. He actually looked at me like inside of me because he sensed that power."

Eric sighed and he felt a hint of anger rise up which she saw his fist form. She put her hand over his "He didn't do anything besides that I promise. Besides Cross interrupted him and your plan." Eric nodded slightly.

Theseus spoke up "I suspect he's real close in making his move. We just need the location of his assembly. I will have my team ready to go once the location is revealed. I think the rest of you will have to focus on the rest of the plan. Find the boy and he will lead you to the spot since Grindelwald wants to collect him."

Eric spoke up "I don't think this is a good idea but everything else we tried so far hasn't worked. That bastard is good but we are better we just have to show that we are when we all confront him."

Jacob had listened through the whole conversation "I have to convince Queenie as well."

Tina nodded for she missed her sister a lot. "I know Nathaniel will let us know the location when he finds out. He's smart which unfortunately will be the only compliment he's getting from me."

Eric groaned for he was grateful he helped out Violet yesterday but one thought came to mind. "What if Grindelwald doesn't trust him now?"

Violet sighed " I had the same thought but I think we had tricked him yesterday so we should be good in moving forward now with this plan."

Eric gave her a look which she gave him the same look for she would never back down against anyone.

Eric laughed a little "Alright little sister I trust your judgement and you had grown before my eyes. I am proud of you."

Violet genuinely smiled "Thanks and I think Theseus that this plan will work."

Theseus nodded "Trust in us Violet and your power. I think you will be surprised on what you can do once you access your full potential."

She smiled for he was right it was time to fully accept that power. She turned back to her brother "Eric can we talk alone?"

Eric nodded and followed her out of the room.

Jacob yelled "Don't worry I will save you both some food."

Violet smiled at her friend "Thanks Jacob."

Newt and Tina both glanced at each other thinking on what this conversation was about.

They all were here for them and what will come next after the reveal.

Once they were away from the others and sat down in the living area.

Eric curious "So what did you want to talk about?"

Violet felt nervous but she had to know "I want to know brother why are you so hell bent on getting Grindelwald? Also why aren't we close as siblings? Is it because of the past? I love you and like I said before I will never abandon you and neither will our friends because you are still my brother no matter what you tell me." She hoped that he wouldn't get mad at her and leave the room.

Eric hesitated as he looked at Violet. Was it really the time to talk about this? He had put it off for so long...but Violet was growing up before his eyes and even an accomplished auror now. She had earned the right to know.

Eric sighed, "You're right, you deserve to know. I think you may have noticed, but father and I never really saw eye to eye. It wasn't just because we wanted different things…I'm not his legitimate heir. Our mother had an affair trying to rebel against her arranged marriage with father...the man she fell in love with was a no maj."

Violet's eyes widened, she knew such a relationship was highly looked down upon in the American wizarding world. Even now Tina had lost her sister Queenie to the closed-mindedness of their society.

"Anyway, she was eventually forced to take her place at our father's side, but at that time she was already pregnant with me...and father had to pretend I was his child to save our family name from shame," Eric continued. "..but behind the scenes he's always been hard on me and never accepted my efforts to please him. To him I was always a disappointment. Then Grindelwald killed him and I wanted to kill Grindelwald to somehow still prove myself." Eric frowned as he finished. "I know it's stupid, but if I can take out Grindelwald then everyone would see that me being a half-blood doesn't matter. I'm sorry if I pushed you away in the process. Father doted on you back then and I admit it made me jealous in a way. I want us to be closer now though. I'm tired of having these walls up and keeping others out."

Violet stood up and walked over embracing him with tears in her eyes "I'm so sorry Eric. I didn't even know that mom had that life and I thought they were happy."

Eric embraced her back "She became happy but in her heart she still loved the no maj. She had to wipe his memory and that was the hardest thing she done. Father was nice to her though when they finally met. He didn't mistreat her in anyway and when you were born he was disappointed that you were a girl. So he thought that he could arrange your marriage to gain status within the pureblood society. Mom never wanted that for you Violet she wanted you to make your own path. Also I was glad that you had her spirit of rebellion."

Violet laughed a little "Thank you Eric for telling me."

Eric felt a weight lifted. "I'm proud you are my sister Violet and I want you to know whatever happens that I truly am proud to be your brother."

Violet smiled "I'm proud that you are my big brother."

Eric and Violet both stood there for a few more minutes and than both of them regained their composure. Everyone else had watched the exchange and all of them wore smiles on their faces. Violet noticed them first "Our friends heard and they are still here Eric like I said they would be and so am I."

Eric nodded "Thank you all."

Newt smiled a little and turned to his own brother for they had things to work on but they felt a strong brotherly relationship. "All of us will continue to support you for that is what friends are for."

But Violet could see a hint of anger in her brother's eyes "I want revenge for father as well Eric and for our family to heal and move on."

She glanced at her friends "We all deserve to move on for we doing this for each other and our future."

Theseus smiled "I couldn't say it better myself Violet."

Violet nodded than turned serious "We just need that information."

Eric nodded slightly "Grindelwald will make his move soon. He wants the war to start between our kind and turn the muggle world upside down."

Tina spoke up "His assembly will not be a known location because he doesn't want to be found."

Leta added to the conversation "It has to do with my family somehow." They all almost forgot that fact.

"I think we should split up and do some recon. We might have a chance of finding some of the followers and them leading us straight to the assembly. That way we have a back up plan just in case."

Violet didn't like the look in his eye thinking "He's still going to go through with what he's planning."

Violet put her hand on Eric's arm and squeezed it giving him a worrying look which he smiled "I'm fine Violet."

Violet sighed "Don't do anything reckless Eric please. We do this as a team."

Eric pulled his sister into a hug "As a team."

She turned back to the others "So should we split up and try Eric's plan?" She asked knowing that Cross was their best bet but like her brother said it doesn't hurt to have a back up plan.

"It can't hurt to try," Tina said with a shrug. "Besides, standing around waiting for someone else to find the location doesn't sit well with me."

Violet nodded. "Alright, then." The group split into two teams, Tina, Violet and Eric and the other team was Theseus and Newt and Leta. Though they both walked all around the area they couldn't find any hint of Grindelwald's followers. Eventually they all met back up at the hideout.

"They are putting serious effort into hiding the location," Theseus said.

"I guess we will have to wait until Cross comes through for us or Grindelwald finally makes his presence known," Tina said.

It was then all of a sudden there was a knock on the door. Violet went to answer it and gasped when she saw Nathaniel on the other side of it, but he was roughed up like he had been in a fight on the way there.

"Hey guys, miss me?" He asked with a smirk even though it was hard to pull off with the black eye he was sporting.

"Merlin, what happened to you!?" Violet demanded as she moved aside to let him come in. Nathaniel limped inside and pulled a piece of paper from his jacket.

"Well, turns out Grindelwald isn't too fond of spies," Nathaniel told her. "I managed to sneak this out of his hideout, but it nearly cost me my life..."

Violet took the paper. It was actually a pamphlet that had all the information on the assembly that they needed.

"Not bad, Cross," Eric begrudgingly allowed as he examined it over Violet's shoulder.

"Glad you like it because you guys are going to have to take me into auror protection now. If Grindelwald or his followers see me again I'll be a dead man," Nathaniel told them.

Theseus nodded. "You can go with my people to the Ministry. They will protect you there until we can get you back into MACUSA protection."

"Thanks."

Violet couldn't believe that they finally had their lead.

Theseus had contacted some of his aurors from the Ministry to come take Nathaniel into protective custody and than return to England. From there they are to contact MACUSA.

The rest of the aurors will follow him "I will meet up with all of you at the Lestrange Tomb after I gather the remaining aurors." He left.

"So my family tomb is to be the meeting place. It makes sense since Grindelwald believes he's my brother." Leta told them.

Tina spoke up "Newt and I will head to the tomb with Leta we believe that Credence will be there as well. Leta can tell Credence the truth. While you Violet and Eric will wait for Theseus and his team. Once inside we will make our move against him and his followers."

Tina turned to Jacob but he already was gone and she sighed. "I will make sure Jacob doesn't get hurt too."

Newt turned to the siblings "Be careful."

Violet nodded "You guys too." This was it and soon they all split up for the battle against Grindelwald had come at last.

But Grindelwald would truly test their allegiances to each other and to the Wizarding Ministries they represented.
