Hey everyone!

I am so sorry that I wasn't updating in November. I was writing but the month got away from me. I have also started streaming on Twitch as well so am trying to find a balance. I cannot believe we are in December already! 2025 is loading. I also needed a break from all the annoying digital artist PMs that I get everytime I update. If you are someone who is going to follow me just to PM me to ask to collaberate then don't waste your time because I'm not interested. I have me visuals and that is enough for me.

Enjoy the update!

Lots of love,

Cissa aka LSH xx

Sisters Divided – Part 30:

It was a few days later and it was time for another rally. Flora would be going to this one as it would be at the German Ministry of Magic and that would be safe considering Vogul was on Grindelwald's side.

Flora was careful to pick out a more neutral coloured outfit as she wasn't truly on anyone's side… for the moment. She looked herself over in the mirror and wondered if she looked OK. She sighed as her hair was wild that day, for some reason, and she grabbed her brush and began to brush it again.

"Hair trouble?" Vinda asked as she walked into Flora's room.

"Yes. It won't stick and I wanted to style it as well," Flora said as she sighed. "That will not be happening at this rate," she said.

"Sit down and let me see what I can do," Vinda said as Flora sat down on her bed and Vinda summoned over Flora's hair box and began to work at Flora's hair. She worked fast but effortlessly and soon had Flora's hair styled.

"Thank you, Vinda. I have no idea why I couldn't get it to work for me today," Flora said with a sigh before they heard footsteps and realised that Grindelwald was stood there.

"I will leave you two alone," Vinda said before she excused herself and left the room.

"I see the hair is tamed," Grindelwald said, "I did notice it was out of control."

"Gellert don't…" Flora said as she began to put her stuff away. "Sorry. I didn't mean it like that," she said.

"You're nervous," Grindelwald said as he looked at her and watched her. "There's no need to be nervous in Germany. We will be safe there," he said as he pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her.

"Can you blame me, Gellert? They almost took you. They could try and take me back and then who's going to keep an eye on you. Vinda can't do it by herself," Flora said as she turned in his arms to look at him.

"You will find a way back to me. I know you will. You have turned my world upside down…"

"You have turned my world upside down and I believe that there is some goodness inside you and I will make people see you as the good person I know you are," Flora said. "I can see it in you and the world should know it too. I won't give up on that," she said.

Grindelwald looked at her before Vinda said they had to go. Flora watched him wondering what he was going to say, if anything to her, before he grabbed her arm and threw her towards Rosier and Apparated away. The notion hurt Flora slightly and she looked at Vinda before feeling the Appaaration pull on her.

They arrived outside the German Ministry of Magic and then Flora just stood at the back as Vinda remained by her side. She wasn't going to leave Flora alone but she needed to be at the front with Grindelwald.

"I will remain with her," Vogul said as he appeared. "You have my word that nothing will happen to her."

"Grindelwald will kill you if anything does happen to her," Rosier said before she looked at Flora before heading to join Grindelwald on the platform. He didn't ask about Flora but he could feel she was there.

"She should be up here as well," he said.

"You practically threw her at me and then left her without so much of a look to check she was fine. She's your soulmate and you go and do that to her," Rosier said, "for what? Because she believes there is some goodness in you because you have showed her that? Gellert she loves you in a way that nobody else can and you did that to her?"

Grindelwald's eyes scanned the crowd to see her. He needed to see that she was there. His eyes locked onto her and she looked up at him before looking away again and he knew he would have to explain himself to her eventually. He tried to get into her mind but she had shut him out, for now. He had a lot of making up to do to her and he knew she was going to make him earn her forgiveness.

He looked around as everyone gathered to hear what he was going to say, fully aware of what happened at the last rally. He was hopeful that Vogul was being true to his word as he was also the one with Flora. He wanted the witch up there with him, if not with him at the front of the crowd. He couldn't take the distance any longer and soon he had stepped off the stage and was making his way to Flora.

Flora didn't need to look up to know that he was stood in front of her. He reached out to touch her arm gently and she pushed him away. She wasn't in the mood for his games and she kept her head down, keeping her face away from his.

"Look at me," Grindelwald said as he knew that he'd upset her and that was something he'd never forgive himself for.

"Why should I? I spoke the truth and you didn't like it but that doesn't mean you have to treat me the way you did, Gellert," Flora said as she made sure not to look at him. "You don't get to treat your girlfriend like that…"

The word seemed to break something inside the Dark Wizard and he moved a hand to her chin and tipped her head up to look at him.

"I was shocked at your words because nobody believes there is any good in me," he said, "and, yet, here is my girlfriend believing that there is goodness and kindness in me. I didn't know how to respond to that and then Vinda came in and all I could think about was the rally and the stress that this one has to go right. I took it out on you when I shouldn't have. You're the only one I can truly trust and that is something I should remember."

"I am your girlfriend and we share a connection so you have to be honest with me," Flora said. "I will see through the lies in an instant… should you try, which I would advise against," she said as she looked at him.

Grindelwald looked at her and knew she was right as he couldn't lie to her in any way as she would have the power to bypass the barriers he put up to protect himself from anyone.

Flora felt his hand on her arm and she looked at him.

"I will always believe there is goodness inside you," she said. "There is goodness and kindness in everyone… sometimes you just need the right person to bring it out of you."

She watched to see how he would react and hoped that there wouldn't be another reaction like there had been back at the Castle. Her arm shook slightly as she waited to see how he would react before he wrapped an arm around her and she looked into his eyes.

"I do not believe there is goodness in me," he said. "I want to change the world…"

"There is a right way and a wrong way and I can show you the right way," she said before finding Grindelwald's lips on hers and she melted into his touch. He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up and wrapped her legs around him. She couldn't stay mad at him for long, her heart wouldn't let her.

The two were lost in each other for a while and Grindelwald could have taken her there and then if he'd really wanted to. He looked at her and kept her wrapped around him and sighed.

"Come with me…" he said and she nodded softly before feeling her feet back on the floor. She allowed him to lead her onto the stage and she sat down in a chair and kept her eyes on him.

"My brothers and sisters," Grindelwald said as he addressed the crowd. "Herr Vogel has kindly agreed to let us hold our rally here so here we are."

Flora's mind began to wander as Grindelwald's words faded into the background. She'd heard him practice the speech hundreds of times and knew it word for word. She sat there and somehow made it look like she was listening as everyone was now aware of who she was.

"What about the witch?" someone asked. "How does she fit in all of this?"

Flora came back to reality as she heard someone speaking about her. She rose from her seat and walked over to Grindelwald as he held out his hand to her. He saw her hand shaking and pulled her close.

"Flora is the witch who is going to help me achieve my aim in this world," he said, "many of you will know that already but, yes, she is going to guide me through the right way to achieve this and that will be the way you will as well."

Flora was relieved that he wrapped his arm around her and held her close because she was inwardly shaking, which he was aware of. He needed to calm her down so she could speak. He kissed her head softly and subtly touched her in a way that would calm her down.

"I am on no one's side, despite what it may look like," Flora spoke after she had managed to calm herself down. "The one thing I will say is if you want to be heard you have to do the right thing in the correct way. You act like a violent criminal and people will treat you like that," she said. "You act like someone who will do the wrong things to get what they want and they will try and put you in prison. You want what's best for the world, in your eyes, but that might be seen as the wrong way and land you in trouble and then you'll be no good to Grindelwald locked up," she said before falling silent and watched as everyone processed her words.

She sat back down and listened to the rest of the rally and watched as Herr Vogel and Grindelwald spoke with each other for a while after everyone had gone. Vinda had remained by her side and looked at her.

"You did well. Forgiving him and speaking for doing the right thing," she said as she watched Flora.

Flora just needed and watched before Grindelwald came over to her, pulling her onto her feet and kissed her softly.

"All I want to do is get lost with you," he said and ran a hand over her chest.

Flora's breath caught in her throat as she looked at him and could feel that familiar feeling beginning to rise up within her again.

Grindelwald pulled her against him and kissed her deeply before lifting her so she was wrapped around him. For the few that that remained behind discussing the rally, it was a shock to see how well Flora and Grindelwald connected and the wizard himself was unaware as his lips connected with Flora's neck and the witch's hips buckled.

"Gellert… please…" she whispered as her hands tangled in his hair and he didn't need telling twice.

Landing in his room, the Dark Wizard rested a hand over Flora's stomach and muttered a spell before setting her down on a chair in front of the fireplace. He watched her as he began to remove his clothes and, once he was down to his underwear, he connected his lips to hers again and moved her over to the sofa in front of the fire and laid her down.

"You are overdressed Miss Goldstein and I need to change that," he said as he found the zip of her dress and began to undo it, kissing down her body as he removed her dress. She shuddered at his touch before kissing him as his lips connected with hers again.

Flora was soon addicted to Grindelwald again and the morning's disagreement was forgotten as he began to focus on her and give her the attention she needed as his way of saying sorry and making things up to her.

Flora arched her hips into his and felt his hands roaming all over her body.

"Gellert…" Flora whispered as as he kissed her neck and she moved her hands to remove his underwear and he did the same.

"One day I'm going to ask you a question and I know your answer," he said before connecting them once more, pressing his lips to hers.
