17.
Albus Dumbledore/Gellert Grindewald

It wasn't merely as much as a quest as it was a friend.
It wasn't merely as much as a companion as it was a first.

"If not love Gellert, what is left?" I whispered that night.
That first.

"The Greater good" he whispered back.
"Then I have to ask you to go" I said sadly.
"Why, don't you see it?" He asked.
"Yes, I see it perfectly clear. So go." I said
"Why?" he asked fiercely.
"For the Greater Good of us." I whispered knowing that my heart cracked.

It not for love, what is left to fight for?
