Disclaimer: If you recognize it, I do not own it and never will.

The next great adventure didn't seem like much an adventure, Albus Dumbledore thought to himself as he walked down the sparsely lit hallway towards a strangely familiar looking door at the end. It seems more like a memory. And with that thought he twisted the oh so familiar doorknob and opened the door. Albus gasps, shocked at the sight that awaits him on the other side of the door.

"Gellert!"

His once-upon-a-time love stood in front of the same bed and surrounded by the same candles smiling that same smile. 'Oh how I've missed that smile,' he thought dazedly to himself with tears in his eyes. Gellert's smile softens seeing his tears and opens his arms.

"Welcome home, Albus."

And It's been awhile
since I could look at myself straight
and it's been awhile
since I said I'm sorry
and it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
