For the Greater Good
Prologue
"That's game!" Gellert said.
Albus threw his cards down on the table as Charlie scooped them from the middle of the table. Albus and Gellert have been traveling through Muggle London in search of the Deathly Hallows when they stopped at a bar for something to drink.
"Another game, Simon?" Charlie asked, shuffling the cards.
"I suppose Alfred and I could go for one more." Gellert said. "Another.. beer for me!"
A young, dark haired woman brought Gellert his drink, she smiled when he took it from her hand and he flashed a smirk. The waitress giggled as she walked away.
"Goodnesh Shimon, another?" Albus belched. "Are ya' sure you can chake anover?"
"Seems to me like you couldn't take another." Charlie laughed. "And that's coming from a bartender!"
Albus glared at the Muggle across from him. Gellert cut the deck and began passing out the cards. Albus didn't have his half moon spectacles or his long silver beard. Instead, he had short brown hair that was slicked over to the left. His face was clean from any wrinkles or large amounts of facial hair. His long robes were replaced with a tan shirt and a dark brown button down vest. His brown pants were half tucked in his shirt. Gellert had somewhat long blonde hair that was combed to his right, a few strands hanging in his face. They were still young.
Albus drew a card from the deck, let out a grunt and discarded. Gellert drew, and let out a smirk before placing four cards down, discarding and ending the game. The door opened and the 'ding' echoed throughout the empty bar.
"I'm on break. Check with the girl up there." Charlie grumbled.
"Albus?"
Albus and Gellert look behind them to see a man with blackish-gray, stringy hair. He had a white shirt with a tan vest and tan pants. Behind him was a young girl in a blue dress, with brown hair.
"Aberforth Ariana?" Albus squinted.
"Albus?" Charlie asked? "Who the Devil is Albus?"
"A Muggle?" Aberforth hissed quietly, noticing Charlie.
"What the Devils a Muggle?!" Charlie seemed very confused.
Gellert watched the dark haired woman grab a piece of paper from behind the counter. She kept glancing from the paper back to them. Her eyes widened in horror.
"Albus.. Gellert..? You-You're- I'm calling the police!" She stuttered.
"That won't be necessary." Gellert said, rising from his chair, his wand in his hand.
Albus shoved Aberforth aside once the waitress grabbed a phone. He pointed his wand towards the deck of cards and flicked. One by one, each card flew in a straight line, hitting the woman.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Charlie shouted, his eyes wide in horror.
"Albus, cards won't cut it" Gellert said with a smirk which vanished after Albus looked at him in confusion. "Watch this." Gellert made a movement with his wand that caused all of the glass bottles behind the woman to shatter, making a sound so loud it could've been mistaken for an explostion. Gellert flicked his wand again and all the shards of glass flew straight towards the woman, she screamed as she glass sliced her, sending her to the floor. Charlie let out a cry as the shards flew towards the ground behind the counter.
"ALBUS! ALBUS, LET'S GO!" Aberforth screamed, pulling on his brothers shoulder.
Aberforth grabbed Ariana by the shoulder, pulling her with him as they left, Albus right behind them, and Gellert not far behind. Aberforth had his wand in his left hand. They ran across the street, almost being hit by a car. Albus and Gellert charged behind them. Charlie emerged from the bar, screaming for help.
"HELP! HELP!" He yelled, his face red. "IT'S THE SORCERORS! HELP!"
Four officers dressed in gray raced behind Gellert and the Dumbledores, guns or batons in their hands. Muggles were forced to dodge the wizards and witch as they charged through the crowds. More officers were joining and sprinting after them. One officer ran from a tree to their right, a gun in his hand. He charged at full speed.
"STUPIFY!" Albus groaned, still slightly drunk.
The spell hit the officer in the nose, making him fall backwards. What seemed like twenty officers ran behind them, most of them out of breath. The Dumbledores and Gellert crossed another street. A police car slammed on breaks beside them, sirens blaring, and a german shepard emerged from the backseat. The dog barked as it bolted after the four of them.
"Vera Verto!" Gellert said calmly, flicking his wand behind him.
The dog yelped as it transfigured into a glass tea pitcher that slid across the grass. One officer stopped to pick it up, his eyes wide in horror as he looked back at Gellert. The group ran up onto the edge of a lake, no where to run. Police quickly racing towards them. Aberforth looked to his right to see two officers stop beside a tree, both with nightsticks.
"INCENDIO!" Aberforth shouted. The tree erupted into flames throwing the officers off. Aberforth flicked his wand causing the tree to fall infront of the officers, ashes fuming into the air as it hit. "A bridge, let's move!"
They ran towards their left, deflecting gunshots from approaching officers with shield Charms. They ran onto the stone bridge, no Muggles were on it, officers racing behind them. They got towards the middle of it before Aberforth held his arms out when a group of officers cut them off. A separate group ran behind them. Gellert and Albus had their wands pointed at separate groups, Aberforth holding Ariana in his arms.
"GET BACK!" Gellert demanded.
The officers slowly moved closer towards Gellert as he flipped his hair from his face. An officer on Albus' side took a step forward, his gun pointed at the wizard.
"We're going to need you to drop your.. sticks..." The officer said cautiously.
"Sticks?" Albus repeated, observing his wand. "These are wands!"
"JUST DROP IT!" The officer shouted.
"Ariana, please get us out of here." Aberforth pleaded.
"I-I don't know.." Ariana replied.
"Ariana. Please, we need you."
"You have one last chance kid. Drop your wand things or we will open fire." An officer shouted.
"Oh please." Gellert chuckled.
"Albus, grab Arianas arm." Aberforth whispered.
"W-What about Gellert?" Albus asked.
"Whether he comes or not, I don't care." Aberforth said coldly.
"Gellert!" Albus shouted. Gellert ignored his friend, an angry look on his face, his wand still outward. "Gellert, we are leaving!"
Aberforth pulled his brother to him. Albus' face was pale. He glared at Gellert, who faced the opposite direction. Gellert slung his arm to the right, and the bridge split in two. A large crack appeared a few feet from Gellert, sending the bridge plummeting downwards into the water. Gellert jumped back, grabbing Albus' wrist as they disapperated with a crack.
