The wasted comedy potential we could have been given if Rowling had written a scene between Graves and the Niffler… I can’t stop thinking about it. Like it’s the funniest thing to imagine. This stern, super strict, frightening, serious man facing a little pest who doesn’t give a shit about the dangerous vibes he gives off - it just wants its paws on the scorpion tie pins.
Graves looking for his watch everywhere and then abruptly raising his head as he comes to a realization. “SCAMANDER!” he belows, and somewhere in the ministry Newt sneezes.
Graves chasing the Niffler around his office and ending up breaking priceless furniture before realizing that’s not gonna work. Graves sitting down at his desk with his fingers stapled under his chin like - “Alright, you little fucker. If this is how you want to play, we’ll play” and then proceeding to flip a coin to attract the Niffler to his desk.
Graves bargaining very seriously with the Niffler, exchanging like two dozens of gold coins to retrieve his watch and his tie pins.
After that, inexplicably, they become best friends. The Niffler tries to make a nest out of Graves’ hair. Any auror reporting to his office tries to point it out.
“Sir, you’ve got a…?”
“Yes?”
“Well, hm. You have… Something… On your head, sir? It’s moving.”
“Yes, I am fully aware of that, Goldstein. Did you actually have something of importance to say to me?”
“Right. Right. Hm. Yes ! The report..”
And so on.
