While Grindelwald was taking his place, Graves was just on a nice vacation somewhere with lots of beaches, sunshine and relaxation. He told everyone before he went, but because of his work ethic, everyone thought he was just joking.

Now Graves is back, suntanned and chilled out, and is suitably confused as to why everyone is stunned at his appearance and keeps asking how he got out when he returns to work.

Can be gen, would prefer Graves/Credence if any pairings! Just would love to see confused Graves taking his first vacation in X number of years and coming back to see how badly MACUSA coped without him
