Chapter 5
Newt walked nervously down the path at hogwarts toward the black lake. He was nervous that Gellert was not going to be happy that Professor Dumbledore had left. But something told him Gellert wouldnt hurt him in any way. Newt made to to the black lake then made his way to the forbidden forest edge.
"Uh... Gellert? Are you there?"
Gellert came from behind the bush like the day before and greeted Newt with a hug. Newt gave a small one back but was still nervous for what he had to tell him.
"Why do you look so nervous? I've already told you i wont hurt you, mein kleiner."
Newt kept his eyes on the ground and said, "I-i'm sorry! D-d-dumb-," Gellert put a finger to Newts lips and pulled his face up so he was looking him in the eyes.
"Remember eye contact is very important! If you have come with bad news you dont have to be afraid! I promise I will not be mad nor will I hurt you! Now tell me what is wrong mein kleiner."
Newt took a deep breath to calm himself, "Dumbledore had to leave. He went to the ministry for a few days. I'm not sure why, i thought you would be super mad at me."
Gellert gave a smile and pulled Newt into a hug, he was very pleased that Newt took an immeadate liking to him. He heard footsteps and voices suddenly and he felt Newt freeze.
"Im sure he went this way!"
Newt pulled away quickly, "You have to hide! It's my brother, if he sees you he will tell the headmaster."
Gellert nodded and went behind the bush again but made sure he could keep an eye on Newt. He saw a group of boys walk up to Newt. One walked close to Newt.
"What are you doing way out here?"
Newt looked at the ground, "I was on a walk."
Suddenly the boy slapped Newt in the face, " What did i tell you about lying to me?"
"Y-y-you t-t-to-tol," again Newt was harshly slapped.
"Quit stuttering! Now since you lied to me I think you should be punished." Fear immeadiatly lit up in Newt's eyes.
Gellert clenched his teeth. He wanted to teach this boy a lesson. He waited with his breath held as the boy in front of Newt held his hand out as if expecting Newt to give him something.
"Hand over your wand!"
"I-i-t's in m-my dorm!"
The boy laughed then threw a punch into Newt's stomach. Newt doubled over in severe pain. The boy then pushed Newt into the ground and pulled both his hands behind his back securing them. Gellert had had enough, he muttered a spell and the boy was thrown off of Newt. The boy got up looking really angry.
"I bet you got Leta hiding somewhere just wait till I get you alone!" the boy and his friends ran off.
Gellert came out and helped Newt to his feet noting he had a bloody nose, "Who was that boy?"
Newt looked away ashamed, "It dont matter! He does it all the time."
Gellert's eyes hardened, "It matters! You are too precious to believe that it's ok for someone to treat you like that!"
Newt felt warmth spread through his body. The only other person to make him feel this wanted was his father. He let a small smile grace his lips.

One Month Later, with Dumbledore*
Albus Dumbledore had just got back to his living quarters in Hogwarts. The ministry of magic had kept him far longer than he liked. First thing he did was send an owl to Newt informing him he was back and wished to have lunch with him. He had be worried about how he was fairing, normally he would be able to hideout in Albus's classroom when his brother got to be too much. Albus wanted so much to have a stern talking to with Thesus but feared it would make things worse and bring a big gap between him and Newt.
Albus sighed, his time at the ministry had not been good. He had found out that Gellert was trying to find a way to get ahold of him. He was worried Gellert would find out about Newt. Albus had come to the decision he needed to tell Newt who his father was. No matter how much it pained him, he wanted to prepare the boy in the case he would have to face Gellert.
Time seemed to move slow after that. Lunch was soon there and Newt came through the door. Newt walked up to Albus and gave him a small hug which surprised Albus, Newt wasn't much of a hugger.
"I've missed you so much! I've got loads to tell you, and I want to hear about you!"
Newt was surprisingly in a chipper mood.
"You seem to be in a good mood!"
Newt gave a shy smile, "If you asked Leta she would say I've been in a dreadful mood since you left. But since your back I can relax a bit more!"
Albus nodded, "Has Thesus been that bad since I was gone?"
Newt stiffened slightly, "Well he hasn't exactly been happy! He thought Leta had ambushed him and she didn't so he tried to corner me."
Albus looked at Newt with sad eyes, " I'm so sorry Newt that I have not been there to protect you!"
Newt gave a small smile, "You can make it up to me by coming with me to hogsmeade next weekend!"
Albus gave a chuckle, "I'll do my very best!"
