Well, I was a little frightened at first too, but then I remembered in one of the Interrogator's Guides that sometimes Aurors put on a show of being much more cross than they are, really. So I thought perhaps Mr Gupta was just trying that sort of thing.
And there's what Mr Crouch told Thomas, about how it's better to report and be wrong than not report and find out later that you'd have been right. But I guess I can understand how they might have grown more upset after a full night's looking round and not finding anything, how he might have been more annoyed with us then. So I don't blame him - but I thought Mrs Forney was daft to suggest we'd have made up a story to impress Weasley, of all people!
Anyway, I'm just glad that they talked to us together, usually they don't, if you're suspected of anything dire, and once I figured out that they just wanted to make sure we weren't hiding anything or forgetting anything that might have been important, I wasn't nearly so worried.
I just wanted to make sure they knew that we'd never betray the Protectorate! I really wanted my wand, when he said that!
