"I can't give this up," Gellert admitted, sipping at a glass of elven wine. "I'm in too deep and I have too much power." He didn't turn to look at her, worried that he'd see the devastated and heartbroken look on her face that he'd imagined when preparing for this talk. "I want to keep you, though. But I want you to stay willingly. Stay willingly, with a monster. I've done too much to be anything but one."
He heard her sharp intake of breath and closed his eyes, ready to hear the door click shut behind her.
He wasn't prepared to feel her hands on him, or her breasts pushed against his back as she hugged him from behind.
"No matter what has happened. No matter what you've done. No matter what you will do. I will always love you. I swear it." Her words served their purpose, and comforted him to the point of relaxing.
"You shall be queen," he promised, turning around to face her and burying a hand in her curls. "Queen Hermione, ruler of the world."
"And you shall be my king," she replied, her lips brushing his. "King Gellert, ruler and conqueror of the world, unbeatable even with magic."
"The only one who would even think of stopping us is Albus."
"But he has been feeding the crows with his corpse for weeks now," she countered. "He is no threat. The world is yours."
"The world is ours," he corrected.
