Hey everyone!

I know I know... I missed the second update of the month and I'm sorry for that. march was such a rough month for me and it hit me harder than I thought it would. I've also hit a stumbling block with one of my fics... which hasn't been helping so I'm hoping that, by sadly dropping that, I will be able to get more updates out for the other stories that I do have plots for (my LOTR, Fantastic Beasts and Aurora one). Hope you all had a great Easter if you celebrate.

Lots of love,
LSH xx


Sisters Divided – Part 18:

Grindelwald had remained with Flora as she'd slept through the night without much pain. He hadn't wanted to leave her side nor did he want to leave her at all with her departure for her sister's wedding close at hand. He was still rather reluctant to allow her to go but Rosier had said that it wouldn't do anyone anything good would come of it if he stopped Flora from going to the wedding.

Now Credence had gone, Grindelwald was not hiding his attraction to Flora and wasn't over the top but little public displays of affection were now seen between the two. He found her relaxing more and that was something that he was relieved about.

Grindelwald had also begun to spend more time in Flora's company and enjoyed having her around more. There was the question of what would happen next but that was a question to be figured out after the wedding. He wouldn't admit that he was nervous about letting her go but Vinda would be with her but he wished he could have gone with her but that would have put Flora in danger and he did not want that at all.

"Promise me you'll look after her and watch her," Grindelwald said as he and Rosier were alone one afternoon trying to figure things out.

"Gellert she will not be out of my sight and I shall make sure she is safe when she is sleeping as well," the French witch replied, "I kidnapped her in the first place so I know how to keep her with us," she said and watched as the Dark Wizard looked out of the window in thought, "do you love her? You are free to love her now."

"I am attracted to her but I need to figure out how I feel about her and I will be able to do that when she is in New York. Only then will I be able to figure that out," Grindelwald said as he turned to look at Rosier, "I trust you."

"I know you do and that is why I had already said I'd go with her. I knew that you would want me to go with her," Rosier said with a smirk on her face that the wizard had seen so many times before.

"You're the only one I trust with her and you do know it," Grindelwald said, "now I believe you will be leaving soon," he said before sweeping out of the room, no doubt to go and see Flora.

The days passed by and soon it was time for Rosier and Flora to head to New York for the wedding and Grindelwald was in Flora's room as she finished packing some of her clothes away.

"I'll be able to bring back some of my own clothes as well," Flora said as she looked at Grindelwald before moving to kiss him softly, "then you can see what I normally wear then what I borrow from Vinda," she said as she felt his arms snaking around her and she smiled softly, "I am really going to miss this," she added before moving out of his arms and finished packing her case.

Vinda and Flora walked into the courtyard and Grindelwald watched as the two vanished from sight and he wondered if he would ever see Flora again in his arms.

New York:

Tina instantly had her wand raised as she heard feet landing before seeing her sister.

"Wand down sister," Flora said as if it was nothing, "it's just me and Vinda," she said before moving towards her bedroom and Vinda instantly followed so she could place her bag down on the floor.

"I trust you will be sleeping in here with Flora…" Tina asked.

"Yes I will be. I told Gellert that I would not let her out of my sight and I intend to stick to that," the French with replied, "do not worry Goldstein. I am not here to cause trouble, just to keep Flora safe and make sure nothing happens to her," she said.

"I am hungry though. I trust we shall be eating soon," Flora said as she looked at her oldest sister, "unless you don't wish me to eat with you."

"No. You are both welcome to eat with us," Queenie said suddenly, "that is both of you."

Flora sighed before she turned to look at her sister.

"Vinda isn't going to do anything. She's just here to make sure that nothing happens to me," she said before walking back out to the house before she looked and saw Jacob and Newt.

"Sorry about that," she said as she looked at the men, "it appears my travelling partner is causing some tensions in the ranks," she said before sitting down and seeing Teddy suddenly on her lap, "hello you. I trust you have been up to your usual self," she said and the Niffler just looked at her funny before she laughed softly, "Pickett just cannot keep you in line can he?" she asked before seeing the Bowtruckle poke his head out of Newt's pocket and she sat back.

"I shall have to bring you down into the case," Newt said as he looked at Flora before glancing at Vinda.

"Vinda knows nothing will happen to me in the case," she said as she looked at the witch, "she can remain here," she said and Vinda nodded slightly, "Newt just wants to show me things, nothing else. I also would love to see the creatures whilst I'm here."

"As long as you do not leave the case and let me know that you're still here then I will not set one foot in the case," Vinda said and Newt nodded in thanks.

"Seeing as the wedding isn't tomorrow, I'm going to show Vinda some of the sights of New York," Flora said, "the next day will be the wedding and then the day after we shall leave at some point so that has to be decided but that will be decided another day. Right now I just want to enjoy being back in New York so please allow me that," she said and that was the end of that discussion.
