The Wizards & The Time Jump

Part 4

After Sarah dragged Grindelwald indoors she locked all the doors and windows and put up borders that covered each window so no one could look in and see Gellert there. Grindelwald looked very confused by all of this, the only time he bordered up widows was when himself and Sarah were hiding in France from the Ministry. But Sarah didn't really have a reason to hide now, although she was probably still wanted by the Ministry, they knew she was guilty of murder, but Gellert understood way Sarah maybe worried. After Sarah finished bordering up all the windows she then used the Muffliato Charm on little Gellert's bedroom so he wouldn't be able to hear what was being said outside of his room. 

Sarah then pushed Gellert into a seat in the living room and joined him. 

"Please whisper when you talk to me Mr Grindelwald."

Grindelwald nodded in agreement.

"I have so many questions but I can't ask them until I know it's really you."

"Alright, ask me something only I'd know."

"How did you propose to me?"

Gellert frequently thought back to their engagement day. It was a picnic is their back garden in Saint-Tropez.

"It was during our picnic in the old house in Saint-Tropez, I remember that I started talking about how much I loved you and you said that you never wanted to spend a waking moment away from me, I gave you a red ring that was one of my mothers old ones..."

As Grindelwald continued to recount their engagement, tears came flooding out of Sarah's eyes.

Gellert noticed and asked Sarah what was wrong.

"It's nothing, I just can't believe it's really you..."

Grindelwald could tell that Sarah wanted to hug and kiss him but he kept a stiff upper lip, and continued to look like nothing emotional was going on.

"Anyway..." He changed the subject, stood up and started to pace around the room. "I invited your son to join us at Durmstrang and I..."

"What? What did you just say? Join you?"

"I am the new head master at Durmstrang... Didn't you know our website is on Google?"

Sarah looked annoyed.

"I am here to make sure you allow him to come to school in September, you didn't take him to the open day on the 2nd of February... why?

"Cause I won't be sending him to a school like yours, you hated it there so why teach there?"

"I loved it there..."

"Don't be a hypocrite, just answer my questions, ok? Before asking me all about my sons education."

Gellert looked annoyed that Sarah interrupted him.

"Tell me, why did you never come home and why are you now some how a teacher after being a criminal for so many years?"

"I left because I had no choice, I made a deal with the Ministry that if I told them who killed Dumbledore they would get me a proper job at the Ministry, but I didn't want the job so Durmstrang was the next best thing..."

"And you haven't committed a crime since?"

"No, I'm a good boy now." He smerked.

Sarah tried to look at Gellert in the eyes but she couldn't bare to. She hated everything he was saying to her. Tears were rolling down her face again but this time they weren't from happiness, now they were sadness and anger.

"All I want is for Gellert Mitchell to come to my school, that's it."

"Is this really all you wanted from me? For me to allow our son to be just like you."

"Indeed..."

"And if I don't give you my blessing?" Sarah stood up and walked over to Gellert.

"Then I'll make you, just like how I made you kill The Traitor." Gellert's face turned very serious and angry, his cheeks were red and his eyes were bulging out of his head.

"Nothing you could ever do would make me send our son there."

"I don't believe that for one second."

Grindelwald came close to her and pointed his wand at her heart.

"I'll kill you." He said quietly and slowly.

"Do it, I dare you."

Suddenly they both heard little Gellert shouting his mums name from his room, Grindelwald quickly apparated away and Sarah was now left alone in her living room.

"Mum!"

"Yes Gellert?"

"Mum!"

"Yes, what is it?"

"Mum!"

"Yes?" Sarah opened Gellert's bedroom door and saw multiple that things had appeared there that were not there last night.

There was a trunk full of Durmstrang school uniform, a small box and a cag with an owl in it.

"What are these things, mummy?"

"It doesn't matter, just go and have a shower before your lessons start."

Gellert ran out of his bedroom and Sarah was left, surrounded by Durmstrang things.

While little Gellert was in the shower, Sarah removed all of the school things from Gellert's room and took them to the patio which was behind their house, Sarah piled the stuff up against the wall and set up the fire pit in the back garden. She then emptied out the trunk and started to set fire to the school uniform, she set the owl free and turned it's cage. 

After a while little Gellert came outside to see what was going on.

"Are you burning my things, mummy?"

"Yes!"

"Who do you think brought them here?"

"I'm not sure, maybe some random man with spiky blonde hair."

"I saw a man with spiky blonde hair the other day, he said he wanted to see you but you were busy."

Sarah stopped burning  the school supplies and turned to her son.

"What man?"

"A scary man, he was tall and thin, he had spiky blonde hair and a blonde moustache. He said that he wanted to speak with you but you were in the bathroom when he called, this was yesterday. he told me not to tell you."

Sarah took a deep breath and then swallowed.

"It's ok, just make sure to never speak to that man again, his very bad and mean."

"Don't you think he looks like me?"

"No, nothing like you." Sarah started burning the school things again.

"But you said that my dad looked like me and..."

"And nothing, go wait in the living room Gellert, watch TV until i've made you breakfast."

"Fine!" Gellert marched off into the house while Sarah stayed by the fire pit.

After all the school supplies had been burned Sarah walked back into the house and gave Gellert breakfast. She noticed that there was another black letter on the floor. While Gellert was eating his food Sarah picked up the letter and it was in fact addressed to her.

She slipped into her bedroom and opened the letter. It was indeed a Durmstrang letter. It was telling Sarah that if she was to stop Gellert from attending school in September that there would be very bad consequences.  Sarah saw all of this as an empty threat and decided to write a letter back which outlined the fact that she would never send Gellert to Durmstrang under any circumstances, no matter how many times they threatened her...
