Hey everyone!

I finally pushed through and got this out! I hope you're all doing well, and things are as well as they can be when your grandmother is having chemotherapy. I'm writing again though!

Lots of love,

Sisters Divided – Part 7:

Dumbledore's Hideout:

Dumbledore stood up as he heard the sounds of feet landing, wand raised, soon lowering it as he saw Lally, Tina and Jacob stood in front of him. Newt poked his head out of the case and Queenie appeared behind him before rushing to Jacob's side to check him over.

"Where's Theseus? "Newt asked as he couldn't see his brother at all.

"Newt you might want to come here," Lally said and the group split, "we aren't sure how but Grindelwald has control of the German Ministry of Magic. Theseus was arrested and taken away by some of Grindelwald's men."

"Flora?" Dumbledore asked as he looked at Lally, "unharmed to the most point. There was a bit of an accident when we were leaving. Nothing long lasting. There was clearly a lot of ignoring the fact that Flora is the missing Goldstein sister as well. I had to cause a distraction so I could get me, Tina and Jacob out and Flora got hurt… she'll be OK though."

"You spoke to her. I saw the two of you with your wands pointing at each other," Tina said as she and Queenie sat with Jacob.

"She said to tell you that she is safe and will not be harmed. I asked her how she knew and she just said she knew. She wanted me to tell you that," Jacob said, "that and she will find a way to contact you soon when she finds out a safe way to do that."

Tina sighed and Queenie looked at her.

"I almost grabbed her. I almost grabbed her and ran with her. Theseus stopped me and that led to him being taken away," she said, "Flora was scared in that moment. I do think she is trapped where she is but she is also there of her own free will. Karma is there now and that will help her as well as she has someone who knows her and she can talk to when she can."

"What happened?" Queenie asked, "Lally said she was hurt."

"In a distraction," Tina said, "Lally used Jacob as a distraction by causing a storm to come. There was a commotion and crockery went flying and something hit Flora and I saw Rosier Apparating her away unconscious. I don't think it was meant to happen and I hope that Flora will be OK. I get the feeling that she is needed for something. She said she's safe and I believe her. She looked fine but she should be here."

Nurmengard Castle:

Rosier landed in the small courtyard with Flora and rushed inside with her and hurried to Flora's room, laying her down on the bed and called for a medical kit to be brought to her.

"Oh Flora girl," Vinda whispered as she breathed the name that she had for Flora that she didn't use in front of anyone, "you got hit bad there. Gellert will kill me if something else happens to you," she said as she tended the cut on Flora's head. There were a couple of grazes and a deep cut on the side of her face and Vinda sighed as she kissed Flora's head gently. In a way the younger witch had become like a sister to Vinda and she'd taken a vow to protect Flora.

She bit her lip as she wondered how Grindelwald would react when he arrived back. She made sure that Flora was cleaned up and she moved herself to a chair by the fireplace, afraid to leave Flora in case something happened to her and she wasn't close by. That would certainly mark her card with Grindelwald.

It was nearly midnight when Grindelwald walked into Flora's room and sat down opposite Vinda.

"How is she?" he asked.

"She will have a sore head when she wakes up but, other than that, she will be fine," Vinda replied, "she's been asleep the whole time since she was knocked out so I will only have some idea when she wakes up and starts speaking. What took you so long?"

"I was speaking to Lui and Santos about the supposed prophecy and then if they had any idea as to who it could be about," Grindelwald replied, his eyes on Flora's sleeping figure. "My suspicions are getting more and more convinced that we have the witch here and that brings me comfort that Flora is here and can do good for us," he said softly as he looked back at Vinda, "it's Flora. I'm certain and I do not want her to know. The only ones I wish to know are you and I," he said.

"I understand. She cannot even know what she is doing either," Vinda said, "she must remain blind to the prophecy and she is the witch."

"You care about her," Grindelwald said with a light smile.

"So do you. I'd even go as far as to say she's captured your heart," Vinda said with a smirk.

"I do not know what you mean," Grindelwald spoke before his head turned to the bed. He rose and sat on the edge of the bed and watched Flora as her hand went to her head.

"My head hurts," she said and Vinda hurried to get a pain potion.

"You're back at Nurmengard Flora. You're safe," Grindelwald said as he looked at Flora, helping her to sit up, "you were knocked out by something as Vinda rushed to get you to safety," he said as he began to check her over and he stroked her cheek gently.

Grindelwald looked into her eyes and she couldn't help but look in his and then he carried on checking her over. Flora remained still, not even trying to move his hand away as he checked her over. Her breath caught in her throat as she felt him touching her face again.

What neither of them had realised as Grindelwald was checking her over that a mark had appeared on both of their hands before Flora brushed his hand away. She got up and grabbed a glass of water, wrapping her arms around herself and went to sit by the fire, remembering back to what had happened at the Ministry.
