Chapter 2: Why are you here?!

A/n I'm on Instagram as EternalGrindeldore you can talk to me there any time.

I see only one thing that can bring Gellert outside the hiding.

That is coming know that Albus is with someone else. More to that a Muggle. And he can't seem to surpass the feeling to see him. Or is it just a ploy to get him out of the shadows?

eine Liebe=my love

Liebling=darling

I see that Gellert uses German pet names for Albus. Or maybe it's the fanfics I have been reading.


Richard for the sake of the imagination is played by Robert Downey Jr. As anyone would object seeing our Sherlock and Watson together.


"I was young, I was..."

"Commited. To me. To us."


The aftermath of Bhutan duel

2 weeks later

Albus went AWOL. Not AWOL exactly.

Didn't kept contact with anyone.

He had taken his impending holiday retreat and filed for leave for the next three weeks in Hogwarts.

When the blood pact broke, it left him hollow, made him feel empty.

Like he felt so lifeless.

It had taken a great toll on his mental health.

Minerva could see that and suggested he took some time off.

Like a loyal brother and uncle, he should have gone to Aberforth and Aurelius, to help them.

But he didn't.

Because he needed to grief himself. For what he had lost.

He needed time alone. Away from that would remind him of him.

Because he knew, if he didn't stay away, he would succumb for love, that he had for him.

That's when he decided to take a tour of Spain.

Take refuge in the muggle world for awhile.

To get distracted.

Far from anyone's reach.

That's where he first met Richard. Or rather, saw him and observed.

Richard was one of the first muggle gay activist to fight for the rights of the LGBT.

He was openly gay, truly confident and determined.

Their eyes met as Richard was giving a speech to the people gathered around on Plaça Reial square and Albus shyed away blushing.

When he looked at Richard again.

Richard smirked.

Albus went to a nearby café to grab some Earl Grey tea.

Richard's eyes followed him intently.

After Richard's rally, Richard approached Albus and that was the start.

Throughout his two weeks of vacation in Barcelona, they spent time together, almost never apart, and slowly, Albus felt he was falling for the activist.

Then, one night, when they were returning from a club, making out quite heavily in an alley, Richard broke their kiss and told him to wait outside their hotel, that he had a surprise.

Albus smiled brightly and nodded his head as Richard kisses him one last time and went inside.

What Albus didn't notice, was that they were not alone, these two weeks.

That they had been watched over.

Albus became impatient as Richard didn't come back soon.

"It's quite easy, nowadays to keep a watch on you. Moreover, follow you, you're slipping away because of that muggle, meine Liebe." Said a deep rusty voice.

Albus startled and closed his eyes at the sound of his voice.

Albus turned around to face Gellert, his nemesis, opposition, but mostly his true love.

Seeing him there, returned that fast, uneasy feeling inside him.

That's when he realized that Richard was just a rebound.

As to that, and how, similar Gellert and Richard were.

Born leaders, determined to make a change.

"Where's Richard? What did you do to him?" Albus asked worriedly.

Gellert smirked and took a step towards him, hands behind his back.

"He isn't coming back."

"What did you do to him?!" Albus all but shouts

"Nothing, just took some memories."

Albus lunged at Gellert, grabbed his lapels.

Gellert just smirked, grabbed Albus' hands by his and stared into his blue orbs. He felt as if he was back in 1899, looking at them for the first time. So clear, so blue, that you could get lost in them.

"It was so so unbearable to watch you be with someone else, liebling."

Gellert brushed his hand on Albus' cheek.

Albus closed his eyes for a moment but then brushed him off and turned his back to him.

"You shouldn't be here, Grindelwald."

Gellerts expression changed to hurt as Albus called him by his last name but he quickly reverted.

"Coming here, was never intended. Advised dangerous to me."

"Then, why are you here?"

"Because, I had visions of you."

It was known that Gellert was a Seer. He could see the glimpses of the future, which could be true or just fiction.

"Doesn't seem a much of abig reason to."

"Visions of you and that muggle."

Albus laughed biterrly and turned around.

"That's why, you, the Dark Lord, the Great Grindelwald came here?!"

"No, I was concerned about what the muggle was doing to you."

"He was doing nothing! Can't you just let me be happy, for once in my life, I had found someone who cared about me! Looked at me the way I wanted..." Albus stopped himself mid way.

"The way you wanted? What did you wanted, Albus?"

"THE WAY I WANTED YOU!"

"I have always wanted you the same as you felt for me."

Albus took a heavy sigh and ignored that reply.

"How do you know this is not a trap, how do you know that this isn't orchestrated to just bring you here so that we can capture you and put you away."

"Because, you wouldn't do it. If you had, I would be instantly surrounded by Aurors and the Scamanders. Most of all, I saw the way you look at him. That's how you looked at me."

Albus stared at him, Gellert looked away.

"Were you jealous?"

Gellert scoffed.

"Oh, you were."

"I am not jealous of that imbecile squib muggle."

"Then why are you here?!"

"Because I missed you, du dummer Idiot! "

That's when Gellert grabbed Albus' neck and they dissaparated.


du dummer Idiot=you stupid idiot

Does Gellert seem out of character with the last line?
