Harsh lighting. Tonks leans forward in zir chair as if looking at something in the distance.
TONKS: What if he's right? We know he's a powerful Legilimens– if he really knows who's guilty, what does that make us? Are we just protecting torturers?
GRANGER: Ah. That question. {pause} I could list for you the people whom Potter has killed without giving any reasons: the Slytherin students; Gilderoy Lockhart; Sirius Black; Arnold Peasegood–
TONKS: Who?
GRANGER: –He worked for the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad as an Obliviator... Does that answer satisfy you?
TONKS: I guess it does...
Granger stands over Tonks in a slightly intimidating way.
GRANGER: It shouldn't. You knew most of that already, and you still had a question. You should trust yourself that the question is worth asking, because when you find your answer, you'll be a better Auror and a stronger person, but if you always let the complications make you delay answering, you won't.
Granger pulls back a sleeve to reveal a wristwatch.
GRANGER: Ah, excuse me. The time.
Granger starts to leave for the DMLE meeting.
TONKS: Maybe they'll show more respect now that your plan caught Harry Potter.
GRANGER: I suppose that is possible.
(hide transcript)Did Granger just dodge a question? What exactly is ze doing here?
Granger has a magical wristwatch that shows both zir own personal time and Ministry Common Time. The latter is unreliable while ze's using the Time-Twister, but it syncs up after a few minutes outside its effects.
