Hey everyone!

I think I'm just about getting these in for October. The last week is always chaotic so these are a little late but they're up. Work should start calming down now as well. I am going to be attempting NaNoWriMo this year to get some chapters written for all my fics as it worked rather well in July. Wish me luck!

Lots of love,

Sisters Divided – Part 13:

Grindelwald was the first to wake the next morning and, for a moment, he couldn't remember where he was until he felt a little movement in his arms. He looked down and then he saw Flora asleep still and the memories came flooding back. Flora… the connection and the kisses.

He heard the door open and had to remain still before seeing Rosier walking in.

"I felt it. The connection. Nobody knew what was happening but I did," she said as she sat in a chair by the bed.

"It was building and last night tipped us over the edge. All we did was kiss but the connection was overwhelming," Grindelwald said, "very different to when Albus and I were together."

"Will he know? About you and Flora?" Rosier asked as she looked at him and watched Flora asleep.

"That I have no idea about," Grindelwald spoke as he kissed Flora's head softly, thankful she was still asleep, "the blood troth may have betrayed me but I think he knows about the prophecy. It would be hard for him not to know."

"Could they try and take Flora from us in Bhutan?" Rosier asked.

"I don't think they would risk it in such a public setting but I want you on the alert for anything. Get her out of there if you sense any threat to her," Grindelwald spoke as he looked back at Rosier, "she has to still be in our hands at the end of the day," he said and Rosier nodded before looking as Flora began to wake up.

He instantly pulled her closer to him and kissed her softly before he felt her hand coming to rest on his cheek as she began to respond and he didn't care in the slightest that Rosier was there. She was the only person who knew what was going on between the two.

"Can I wake up like this everyday from now on?" Flora whispered as she opened her eyes and found Grindelwald staring down at her.

Rosier watched her and chuckled softly.

"Gellert will see if that will be possible after the election," she said and Flora didn't jump, clearly having sensed that someone was there with them, "you knew I was here?" she questioned.

"I sensed someone was and only you know what is happening so I figured it had to be you Vinda," Flora said as she turned her head to look at the French woman, "election day is here," she said.

"Yes it is. Now you are coming with us. I want you there Flora. You are the other half of me as I told you last night and that is something that I cannot and will not change. Vinda will get you to safety should that be needed," Grindelwald said before noticing Flora looking back at him, "are you agreeing with me this time?"

"I do want to see my sisters and Lally so they know that I am fine," Flora said, "right now? I just want to be with you," she said and Grindelwald asked Rosier to make sure everyone was ready to go at a certain time and asked her to be back at a certain time to help Flora get ready. The woman nodded before excusing herself.

Grindelwald waited until the door was closed before he kissed Flora again, softly at first and then deepening it when he felt her responding. His hands began to roam her body and she gasped out feeling the connection coming alive again.

A gasp left her lips as she felt him move so she was underneath him and she moved a hand to cup his cheek as she looked up at him. Her breath shook as she stroked his cheek gently and she knew that things would change between them now.

Grindelwald looked down at her and he bent down and kissed her deeply, not wanting to be apart from her at all. He didn't just have a connection to her. To him she was his… his sweet, addictive Flora who he was now drawn to in ways that he'd never been drawn to anyone before.

"I am so lucky to have you Flora," he spoke softly against her lips, "and I am glad you have agreed to be at my side today," he smiled, a genuine smile. Only she would see this side of him.

"Thank you… I still don't know why I am here but I want to be here with you and that's all I know right now," she said as she bit her lip before wrapping her arms around him and pulling him down so she could kiss him again.

Their lips tangled together as they got lost in each other again. Grindelwald knew after the election their world change and that is something that he was prepared for but he had no idea if Flora was.

A knock at the door interrupted them and Rosier walked in.

"You need to get ready and Flora needs her breakfast," she said and Grindelwald nodded and kissed Flora one last time as he retrieved his shirt and headed out of Flora's room, closing the door.

Flora instantly got up and ran a hand through her hair as she moved to have her breakfast. Of course Vinda had managed to get Flora's favourite breakfast together.

"You won't speak a word will you?" she asked and Vinda shook her head.

"Gellert will curse me if I speak anything of the connection," she replied as she drank a coffee and watched Flora.

"You knew didn't you? That's why you took me in Paris…"

"I knew yes. I am the only one who knows," Vinda said as she looked at Flora, "and that is the way Gellert wants it to stay, at least here in the Castle," she said.

Flora popped a strawberry in her mouth and nodded as she watched Rosier before she carried on eating. Vinda headed to the witch's wardrobe and began to look through for the dress that Flora was going to wear.

"Found it," she said as Flora finished her breakfast and walked over to see what the dress was like, "baby pink with an emerald green belt to represent Gellert," she said and Flora nodded.

"My favourite dress," she said with a small chuckle and the headed to get ready and freshen up as well before returning to Vinda.

"Hair… which I will leave to you," Vinda said, "and then I will do your make up and make sure the lipstick will not smudge."

Flora nodded before she went to figure out her hair and she smiled as she sorted it out checked herself over in the mirror before turning to Vinda as the witch started to do her make up for her. Flora could have done it herself but Vinda wanted the magical world to see Flora for who she really was.

Eventually there was a knock at the door and Grindelwald walked in and looked at Flora right as she was putting her shoes on.

"Wow…" he breathed and Flora looked up as she saw him and blushed slightly. He walked over to her and kissed her head softly.

"The lipstick won't come off," Vinda spoke before Grindelwald had to test that theory and Flora lapped up the kiss before she felt an emerald green sash being placed over her shoulders and she smiled before allowing him to lead her to where everyone was gathered,

Grindelwald did a small speech before everyone Apparated away. He waited until only himself, Vinda and Flora were left before he kissed Flora softly.

"Vinda will keep you safe," he said softly before pushing her back into Rosier's arms and Apparated away. Vinda took Flora's hand in her own before she Apparated them to Bhutan and the election.
