INT. MAJOR INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT -- DAY

A group of the highest-level Aurors in the organization are gathered together in serious discussion. Among them is Graves, examining the newspaper, his face cut and bruised from last night's encounter with the strange entity, and President Seraphina Picquery herself.

CLOSE ON A NEWSPAPER -- The New York Ghost, with the headline MAGICAL DISTURBANCES RISK WIZARDING EXPOSURE.

MADAM PICQUERY: "The International Confederation is threatening to send a delegation. They think this is related to Grindelwald's attacks in Europe."

MADAM PICQUERY (O. S.): "Whatever it is, one thing's clear -- it must be stopped. It's terrorizing No-Majs and when No-Majs are afraid, they attack. This could mean exposure. It could mean war."

GRAVES: "I was there. This is a beast. No human could do what this thing is capable of, Madam President."

On hearing footsteps, the group looks around to see Tina, who approaches cautiously, leading Newt.

MADAM PICQUERY (angry but contained): "I made your position here quite clear, Miss Goldstein."

MADAM PICQUERY: "Goldstein."

TINA: "There's been a minor incident --"

TINA (humiliated): "Yes, ma'am."

TINA (frightened): "Yes, Madam President, but I --"

TINA: "No, Madam President, but --

MADAM PICQUERY: "Well, this office is currently concerned with very major incidents. Get out."

Tina pushes a bemused-looking Newt back toward the elevator. Graves looks after them, the only one to appear sympathetic.

MADAM PICQUERY: "You are no longer an Auror."
