Invisible String [t. s]

Chase & Catch

"So it's useless without a host?" Amélie frowned at Graves' question and the tone of voice he had used. It was as if he was...interested in the Obscurus. Deeply interested. The French Auror started to walk slowly to stand on the opposite orner, right in front of Percival.

"Useless? Useless? That is a parasitical, magical force that killed a child. What on earth would you use it for?" Graves looked at everyone in the room, his eyes nervous as he stood up.

"You fool nobody, Mister Scamander. You brought this Obscurus into the City of New York in the hope of causing mass disruption, breaking the Statue of Secrecy, and revealing the Magical World."

"You know that can't hurt anyone. You know that."

"You're therefore guilty of a treasonous betrayal of your fellow wizards and are sentenced to death." One of the witches dressed in white placed the tip of her wand by his shoulder and on his neck. Amélie gave a step forward but Graves extended a hand, keeping her in her place. "Miss Goldstein, who has aided you and abetted you-"

"No! She's done nothing of the kind." Newt argued. Élie looked at Tina, whose eyes were filled with tears and whose face had written sadness, worry and some sort of betrayal all over it.

"Receives the same sentence. Just do it immediately." Graves finished and Tina started sobbing. "I will inform President Picquery myself."

"Tina-" Newt tried to speak.

"Shh."

"Percival, think about this." Amélie jumped into the conversation. "You must dig in deeper, you have to-"

"Rosier, if you won't cooperate and do your job as an Auror, I will arrest you for conspiracy and betrayal as well." Amélie stood there, feeling useless and helpless. "Go obliviate that No-Maj or your wrists will be cuffed and bye-bye career." She sighed annoyed.

"You will regret threatening me when you know you're not doing your job properly either." She said harshly as she pointed at his face and left the room to make her way back to the cells. Only that she found something she didn't expect nor liked. "Where is he? Elyna, where's the Non-Magique?"

"Someone came for him, they just left and I couldn't avoid it. I'm sorry." She groaned, annoyed.

"Merde." They started rushing upstairs. "I need you to go back to Europe, I don't care about what Newt said, go to London and find Theseus Scamander. Tell him his brother is in serious trouble and that he must get here as soon as possible." Elyna nodded and they reached the lobby of MACUSA. "Who took him?"

"Him, they're over there." She spotted a man with a blue suit walking Mister Kowalski.

"Thank you. Now go and find Mister Scamander." Elyna nodded and walked out of the place while Amélie approached the man. "Evening." She greeted.

"Miss Rosier." The guy nodded.

"Mister Graves game me the order to take care of him. Thank you, but I'll take it from here."

"I'm sorry, Ma'am, but you have no jurisdiction here."

"I-"

"Hey, Sam." A female voice appeared to their right.

"Hello, Queenie."

"They need you downstairs. We'll obliviate this guy."

"You ain't qualified."

"Hey, Sam. Does Cecily know you been seeing Ruby?"

"How did you-"

"Let us obliviate this guy, and she'll never hear about it from me." Mister Kowalski looked at the two of them, specially at Queenie, as they walked to the opposite way they had been walking. This Sam guy walked away slowly.
