Hello everyone! Happy March! I am feeling so much better now I only have my Wizarding World fanfics to write. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Grindelwald and Flora have the power to change the word after this latest twist but I still have no idea how this will end. I will also be uploading my new Harry Potter fic today.

Thanks for all the support,

LM xxxxx


Flora-Part 34:

Grindelwald was unaware as he pushed Flora's cardigan off and pulled her right against him as he kissed her. He was unaware at first of the magic and then he felt it and he pushed her against the wall and kissed her some more. She kissed him back and wrapped her arms around his neck and ran them through his hair. She couldn't understand what was happening but there, in that moment, all she wanted was him.

It was only when they heard a crash did they break apart and look. Abernathy had gone charging into the room and knocked something over. Vinda was stood with her mouth open and she looked.

"You two are soulmates?" she questioned.

"We're what?" Flora asked.

"We are soulmates Flora and I've known for a while," Grindelwald said before Flora hurried out of the room and down to her private room and slammed the door.

"Should I go after her?" Abernathy said.

"No. Anyone touches her other than me and Rosier they will be punished," Grindelwald said before turning to Vinda, "give her some time and then go to her. We have a rally tonight; the first in Paris and I need you both by my side. Explain everything. I didn't know she was the Flora." Vinda nodded before heading off and pulling Abernathy with her and closing the door behind them.

"You knew…? Did he plan to get captured to get her?" Abernathy asked.

"No. He didn't know until he'd be captured and she was brought to him. He heard them talking about it and then he tried to ignore it but he couldn't," Vinda said, "and now we are here. That witch has no idea what she and he will do… what they will become," she said.

Flora was laid in her room over by the window. The only two permitted to enter her room were Vinda and Grindelwald himself. The Dark Wizard's control and obsession over the young witch was extreme but she was his soulmate.

She just listened to Paris life going passed and she wondered if she'd ever see Tina and Queenie again. She closed her eyes and began to relax, just listening to the sounds below her. She wanted to see Paris and just spend time in the city as she'd always wanted to go there but she knew that may well have been impossible.

The next noise she remembered hearing was a knock on the door. She didn't respond thinking it was one of Grindelwald's minions sent to get her but she soon sat upright when the door opened and Vinda walked in.

"He sent you to get me then?" Flora asked.

"No. He sent me to talk to you," Vinda said, "to explain."

"Explain what? The fact that he lied to me and led me on?" Flora questioned before the French witch sat one her bed and she looked at her.

"He only knew about the soulmates thing after Abernathy mentioned it to the President outside his cell," Vinda said, "he only made the connection after getting Travers to look into it. That was when he realised it was you Flora. I swear he never knew before then because if he had then he would have told you about it all. He has been honest with you about everything."

Flora sighed and put her head in her hands.

"He probably thinks I hate him but I really don't Vinda. I was mad and thinking that he'd kept this from me…" A soft groan escaped her lips and she sighed.

"We have a rally soon… it's only a small one and he wants you there by his side. We're his second in command but only you can control him Flora," the French witch said, "go to him now before we have to go."

Flora thought for a moment before she suddenly took off and hurried down the corridor to Grindelwald's room and just pushed the door open and walked in.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry. I should have known that you'd have told me back in New York if you'd have known it was me," she said before her eyes widened as she realised he wasn't alone and she began to back out of the room.

"Flora remain. Everyone else out," he said and everyone left and Flora went and stood in front of him with her head bowed.

"Punish me. I deserve it. Anyone else and you'd punish them," she said before feeling him lift her head up.

"You are not just anyone though Flora. You're the other half of me."

"What about Albus Dumbledore? I know about the blood pact," she said before finding herself being led over to the bed and sat on it.

"Yes I do have a history with Albus Dumbledore but that is now over. We will not fight each other," he explained, "we are both on separate paths now and as long as our pact stays intact then we will never fight each other."

"So what am I then?" Flora asked, "some consolation prize?" she spat at him full well knowing that she could get into trouble for speaking to him that way.

"You are my soulmate and the other half of my powers. You can control me," Grindelwald said and Flora looked at him.

"I don't have that power…"

"Yes you do. You've always had it Flora. You've just never been allowed to be able to use it. You will with me. I promise you my rose," he said before hearing a gasp from her.

"Your rose…?" She asked before looking up at him.

"Yes my rose," he said softly as he looked at he and rested his hand on her cheek, "you managed to break through and see what I am," he said and before she was able to speak again he pressed his lips to hers once more, "just feel it, feel the magic," he whispered and then just kissed her softly and pulled her close to him.

"I can feel it," she whispered before kissing him and wrapping her arms around his neck just wanting to be close to him. Of course it soon began to heat up before there was a knock at the door and they reluctantly parted and the wizard sent Flora off to get ready for her first meeting and he was rather nervous about it all.

Eventually he checked his close group over before he nodded his head and held Flora close as they apparated to the venue. Vinda had been right when she said it was a small venue and she went and took her seat next to Vinda and watched as Grindelwald paced as he waited for the meeting to start.

Flora felt eyes on her and she tried to ignore it but eventually she stood up and pointed her new wand at the witch triggering silence as everyone wondered how he was going to deal with this.

"If anyone says anything about Miss Goldstein here they will be sorry. Now can we get on please?" Grindelwald said before he heard the mummer die down and then stop. He watched as Flora sat down and then, finally, he began the meeting all the time watching Flora and wondering how long it would be before New York realised why he'd taken Flora. He hoped it would be a while but time was an uncertain thing and Grindelwald was going to do whatever it took to keep Flora safe no matter what it took he'd do it to keep her safe.
