Note:
As usual, all I own is the story and my visions and dreams of these characters. Just trying my best to support the fandom.

Chapter Two:

Gellert Grindelwald

My vision gave me new resolve. It gave me a reason to not fall into despair over the students hate of me. They could think what they liked about me. I had been intrigued by the man I had seen within my moment of clarity. Well anyone would be when fate tied me to them, but yet not even knowing a name.

He had captured my attention, finding him became my mission, so I searched for him on what I knew about him, my vision had shown me all the details I needed to find him. If only I find a way to piece it all altogether to a name, an identity.

Restless, I reviewed the information over again in my mind.

He was a fellow believer on the Quest of the Deathly Hallows, but that wouldn't find him on that alone. That would require previously knowing him, as we didn't usually start openly declaring all your knowledge of the power of death to every stranger we meet.

And even if we did, the majority of the wizarding community had repressed that immense power to legend, to children's stories, so we were rarely believed or had it talked about. Since if such power existed in their minds constantly, they would fear it or the rest of their lives, and the ones of wielded it. although they had been splashed across all of magical history.

Wizards feared the wielder of such power regardless of what they knew, they valued that power as they rightly should. For a wand was only as powerful as the wizard, thus only the ones with the highest dreams could use them to the full potential.

It was something for those who knew to know and understand. But the thought of at last sharing the Quest and all my hopes of what I would bring with that power, my dream for the Wizarding world with someone delighted me. That someone would share my world with me.

As I had researched blood magic to the point that I had the whole of Drumstrang wary of me. For it, I had in-depth knowledge of the blood pact he wore.

Thus I knew that it was a binding eternal vow drawn from to connected blood of the two magical souls. It was a ceremony most recorded as an act of marriage, never to harm or fight against the other.

A blood pact such as that wasn't something I would into easily for anyone, for I did not trust easily. Having a weakness external to the person could be dangerous for those knew where to strike. For those who knew.

Yet to go through with it and hold something so dear a secret would be near impossible, unfathomable. But for one as secretive and manipulative as I, it could be done. Like that of the symbol of the Hallows, it could be a hidden sign of one's truest self. For those who knew. And not many did.

All of the vision I had to go on was his uniform, which bore a crest. And, he, judging by his wondrous looks, most likely still belonged to a school of magic. That would make him quite easy to find.

Not that I doubted I would in time. My visions always came to pass, I had learnt that truth in despair when I was young. But the sooner I started the search, the sooner I would find him, and the better it would be for all my dreams.

He had been no accident of fate if I had seen him dancing in streams of flickering fire and blue light for over a month, repeatedly. Even if I had not known at the time who it looked like.

Fate had given me enough to know, that at this point in time. The event everyone was talking about would be closely linked with me finding that man. Of course, no one was surprised by my sudden change in topic, as it was one I never cared for in terms of interest.

There were bigger and better things to spend my time on. But the constant discussion of glory, power and riches, they knew would intrigue me eventually. Which it had, but for in a different way than they could know.

Competition to be seen as the most talented student in all of Drumstrang caused many students to suffer unfortunate accidents. Few would be chosen to represent us. To be quite honest, it didn't fuss me too much, for I knew that my skills were far higher and better than most, if not all here. I needed no confirmation of my abilities.

Yet, I valued those things getting noticed as they rightly should. The whole school now spoke hurriedly to each other as I passed, wishing me both luck and misfortune. For your headmaster had chosen me as one of the few to represent and honour our school of Drumstrang in the Triwizard Tournament, which was to be held at the British school of magic, Hogwarts.

Even if all the other students coming with me were at a higher year level in their training, even they had to now see as the others. As Grindelwald, the rising talent among the younger years, especially in the topic of the Dark Arts. Even some of the worst seniors, like Krum and Malfoy.

Finally, I rose from my bed, with a feeling that even now, I had a chance of meeting the core of my vision. Sighing I picked up my wand and opened the door to my dormitory to find the rest of my year standing outside. I smiled as they bowed me through. "Wir haben Vertrauen in dich, Grindelwald, unsere Flamme der Dunkelheit".

My loyal followers, to leave them without leadership seemed almost cruel. Even if I had the whole year under control, as they were clearly devoted to me. I knew I would have to face my fourth year with a crowd that did not, like all the others coming despised my presence, would be insulted that one as young as I could stand with them. But it was worth it if now I had the chance to meet the core of my visions.

I was late, I knew. The rest of the school was already down at the ship, waiting. Waiting for me. Even if they assigned me to the smallest cabin. I knew they were just as tied to their fear of what I did as the people surrounding me did in hope.

The sun rose through the window to cast itself upon me, and as clearly as I felt it heat upon me, my heart became faster as I knew I would find my equal among the schools. I turned away from my followers and whispered to myself "Für meine in allen Dingen gleich"

German Translation:
"Wir haben Vertrauen in dich, Grindelwald, unsere Flamme der Dunkelheit". -
"We have faith in you, Grindelwald, our flame of darkness"
"Für meine in allen Dingen gleich"-
"For my equal in all things"
To all those who waited, I know it has been like a month since I last updated. I feel bad for not having the courage to write.
But mostly I hate my school for all the exams they put me through.
I decided this chapter will last of the Drumstrang chapters.
Cause I know y'all need some Hogwarts and young Albus Dumbledore.
Forgive me also for loving the write in the viewpoint of Grindelwald, but I feel I have a strength in knowing his nature. But fear not, Albus will get to shine, I swear.
