"I'm not allowing it," Salazar said with finality, glaring at Godric. The Knight sighed, rolling his eyes at his lover's antics.

"Come off it, Sal," he demanded. "These are kids. You cannot hold them accountable for other's actions!"

"Have you forgotten what they did to us?" the Snake asked dangerously, his eyes glinting in malice. "They burned our people at the stakes. They singlehandedly raped our women, and you dare propose that we take in their children?"

"Yes!" Godric burst out. "They are not like the others. These are kids – pure and innocent kids."

"So, we're supposed to place our trust in a couple of brats? We're to believe that they won't turn on us like their ancestors?"

"That's exactly what we need to believe," the redhead told him, shaking his head in disbelief. "We need faith, Salazar. Why can't you see that?"

"These kids will be the death of us," the raven said. "It's a shame that you can't see that."

"These kids are our future," Godric told him seriously. "With them, we thrive. Without them, we perish."

"So pitiful in your naivety," the younger man whispered. "They will hurt you, Godric. Don't let them tempt you with the image of a perfect future."

"Salazar," Godric whispered. He said his name pleadingly, the pure need in his throat shining through. The younger man wasn't having it, though. He turned on his heels, heading towards the door.

"I love you, Godric," he told him sincerely, "but I won't stand for you to be destroyed by these little miscreants. When you've finally discovered the truth, find me. Until then, stay the hell away from me."

"You're just going to leave?! What about Merlin?" the green-eyed man yelled, his eyes wide as they stared at his partner's back. Salazar was already at the door, his hand turning the knob. However, at the question, he paused, turning to look Godric in the eyes.

"He's on your side."

The bitter smile that curled on his lips shot a painful arrow through Godric's heart.

"Again, no one sees what I see. You all will be destroyed because of your forgiveness. I can't stand, won't stand, to see you broken because of them. It would destroy me-," he broke off with a sob, forcing himself to look away.

"Goodbye, Godric."

He walked out, forcing himself to ignore the pleading man behind him. Salazar broke out running, tears streaming down his face.

"I love you," he whispered to himself over and over again. "Please, please don't do what I know you're going to do…"

It was an unnecessary plead.

Standing over the graves of both of his lovers, he allowed the tears to fall.

True to his word, the little Muggleborns had followed in their ancestors' footsteps. Now, his lovers had been taken away.

The irony was almost too cruel…

He supposed it was true, though. History was always doomed to repeat itself…
