A/N: My boyfriend gave me his laptop and I dont think I ever realized how much i missed typing on a computer. Although there will still be mistakes and probably will forget to correct some obvious ones. So please bare with me and I will do my best to spell check before I post but no promises. I do forget super easy and I'm one who gets overexcited about posting my chapters. I will finish this even if i don't get very many to none reviews. Too many people get no reviews then refuse to finish. But I'm determined to get this done. It might take me a while a lot has happened since I last updated. My mom passed which i said last time and now my brother was diagnoised with terminal cancer. I will do my best to keep going. I will not let this fic die.

Chapter 8

Once inside Albus's office Newt sat down. Albus went to work on brewing a pot of tea. Newt was shaken up a bit. The man he had grown close to had been his father. On top of that he scared him with a threat. Newt wanted to go with him, he really did but he knew there was more to everything. His father(mother?) would be the one to answer his questions. If he chose not to go then what would Gellert do? Would he seriously drag him away kicking and screaming? Newt shook his head he needed to stop thinking of what ifs or he was going to have a panic attack. Albus placed a cup of tea down for Newt and sat next to him.

"Do you need anything Newt? You look like your about to bolt out of this room and hide," Albus said in his calm voice.

Newt shook his head and took a big gulp of tea, "N-no!" He took a deep breath to calm himself. "Father, what am I to do? I'm confused and scared."

Albus looked at him with sympathy, "Newt, I am so sorry about this. I never wanted you to find out this way. Gellert can be a real smooth talker. But I will not fault you if you choose to go with him. It is ultimately your choice. I will give you any information you require, and if you decide to go with him I will accept that."

Newt looked to be thinking his words over, "I'm not sure I want to father. I wanna be with you! He scares me a bit. I trusted him for a bit and probably on some level still do because he was nice and made me feel important. But I do not want to leave you. You have been there for me when only Leta was, you did not look at me with pity or betray my trust.."

Albus looked a little shocked, he was proud of Newt for his maturity, "Are you sure? Because if you are we need to come up with a plan. I am not trying to scare you but when Gellert makes a promise or threat he always keeps it." Newt nodded shakily. "Ok, do you want to know more about him first or a plan first?"

Newt thought, "I wanna know more. How did you two meet? What made you love him so that I was made? And what is he like? I'm sorry for all the questions but I've wanted to ask them since I found out you were my father. But my other father seemed to be a touchy subject for you!"

Albus smiled at his son's curiosity, "No you have every right to ask these questions. We met here at Hogwarts, he was different from any other person I had met. I loved how different he was and his different views. He's a very passionate man. Fights for what he believes is right. He is very loyal and over protective. Sometimes his protectiveness can be seen as not being protective but possessive. At one time he was a great man, but his views on people turned darker. He believed that wizards and witches should not include muggleborns and did not like muggles. I can't tell you exactly what made me love him so much that we made you because it was not describable. I do not regret being with Gellert, I will never regret it. It brought me you even if I had to give you up, but know that I loved you from the day I found out I was pregnant."

Newt nodded letting everything sink in. He understood that his father loved his other father. He was happy the he didn't regret having him. But he was still confused and scared. Why was Gellert so intense about him joining him. Newt didn't understand that. Newt licked his dry lips trying to come up with the right words.

"Father, why is he so intense about me coming with him? Is it just a way to get to you?" Newt asked slightly fearing the answer.

Albus seemed to think on this for a bit, "I'm not sure. I do not think he only wants you to join him to get to me. I do believe he wants you on his side simply because you are his son. Gellert used to talk about us eventually having a family. He really wanted to have kids one day. I believe he wants to know you more and protect you. He gave you time to think rather than force you right then and there. Even if he said he wouldn't take no for an answer, he is giving you the chance to make your own choice. I do fear what he will do to get you, but I know he will not hurt you."

"So, what do we do?" Newt asked with worry.

"I believe we need to come up with a plan. If we have to we will go to the ministry. I will do what I can to protect you and keep him from you," Albus said seriously.

"I can try to avoid going out on the grounds," Newt said with a hint of sadness.

Albus smiled at his son, "Newt I can not ask you to do that. I know how much you love your care of magical creatures class. And how much you enjoy studying creatures. I will speak with the headmaster, and I will let you know on what he thinks is best."


*With the headmaster and Albus*

"Albus do what do I owe the pleasure of you inviting me to tea?" the headmaster asked with a smile.

Albus frowned at the man, "I wish it was for something good. I have some very bad news that involves Gellert."

The headmaster frowned deeply, "What is it?"

"While the ministry had me on lock down he found his way on the grounds."

"But we would have known! He has a unique magical signiture!"

Albus nodded sadly, "The same magical signiture that Newt has. He met with Newt and convinced him he was a friend of mine. I don't know how Gellert got the boy calm as Newt is not a very trusting boy. He convinced Newt to take me to the Hogs Head for a drink. Gellert met us there and told me he was there for Newt. I had to tell Newt the truth, and the way Gellert acted so caring toward Newt was something I have not seen in him for a long time. But then he told Newt he would not take no for an answer with joining him. We are supposed to meet him back at the Hogs Head with an answer. He said he will take Newt one way or the other. Newt is very scared and I don't know what to do.'

"Albus, we must tell the ministry. There is no way you can protect the boy alone. I understand you want to protect the boy, but you will need help if Grindlewald is going to come for the boy no matter what."

"I know, I do not want the ministry to find out Newt is my and Gellert's child. But if I am to protect Newt I will have to ask them for help."

"I understand this is hard for you but, it is what is best for Newt's protection."


*Undisclosed Location*

Gellert was sitting at a desk reading a book. He knew Newt would not agree to join him. He could feel it. A smirk made it's way on his lips. He had a connection with Newt that no one knew. The connection was in the back of his head and he ignored it for years not knowing what it was. But once he met Newt, he started noticing the connection more and more. He could feel the boy, he could feel his emotions and knew where he was. He was currently in his dormitory, and Gellert was waiting for him to fall asleep. He had figured out how to talk to Newt in his dreams. He had planned to convince Newt to come to him, if Newt refused he had a plan to scare the boy. He didn't want to scare his son, but he wanted his son safe. Safe with him, Albus didn't understand his need to keep his family safe. Albus would never join him willingly, once he got Newt safely then Albus would follow. He had a plan that would make Albus think Newt was not safe in the ministry's hands. Gellert's smile widened, Newt had fallen asleep. Gellert closed his eyes and concentrated on his son. He needed to have a talk with him.
