The Wizards & The Time Jump

Part 6

Sarah looked all over town for Gellert but he was nowhere to be seen. She checked the post office again before going back home but he hadn't returned. Sarah even checked her work to see if Gellert was there with Annie's son, Deacon, but he wasn't there.

Sarah slowly walked back home, checking all the little alley ways between the houses butt here were all deserted.

When Sarah got home, she put her hand on the front door handle, but it was unlocked. Sarah was sure that she locked it before leaving, but it was unlocked now. Sarah pulled her wand out of her trouser pocket and held it firmly in her left hand as she pulled the door open.

Unfortunately, Gellert wasn't inside, but Grindelwald and Felix were. Grindelwald was wearing a black suit, kind of like the one Sarah would have liked him to wear to their wedding if it had gone ahead.

This one below



Grindelwald looked as gorgeous as he did the day Sarah had met him. She knew that she couldn't fall for him charm again though, he must only be here for work, just like the last time he was here.

Sarah hadn't seen Felix in years. He looked a lot more aged than everyone else did. Yes, it had been 70 years, but Sarah, her son, and Grindelwald hadn't aged nearly as much as Felix had. The last time Sarah saw Felix, he was in his 50s. He now looked about 90 years old. He looked like Oris, the elf, but taller.

Felix quickly stood to attention when he noticed that Sarah had come home.

"Salut Sarah. Ca fait longtemps que...Hello Sarah. It has been a long time."

It sounded like Felix had lost his French accent. He sounded pretty normal now. He was still fluent in French, though.

"Hi Felix, what brings you here after so long."

Sarah tried her best to ignore Grindelwald.

"Well, I work for Mr Grindelwald at Durmstrang now..."

"Ah, I see. Clearly, Mr Grindelwald only cares to visit his ex fiancée on business trips nowadays." 

Felix looked slightly confused.

"Ignore her, Felix. She is just being moody. Please wait outside." felix pushed past Sarah and waiting outside on the path.

"Hello, Sir? What do I owe the visit?" Sarah said sarcastically.

"Your son sent me a letter today, asking to meet me on the 1st of May at 11:00am at a post office...I wanted to know if it was really him who sent it or you."

"Why would I send it? I don't care to see you, nor do I wish for my son to see you."

There was an awkward exchange of looked between the two of them.

"I am sorry for my behaviour in recent times. It's just difficult to recruit children to come to my school now I'm in charge."

Sarah knew not to have any pity for Grindelwald. She didn't want to be bamboozled by him again.

"No wonder... Your an ex murderer, a man who has killed kids in the past. If your own ex-girlfriend doesn't want to send your son there, then why would anyone else want to?"

"I know, but I've changed..."

"Have you? Cause a couple of months ago, you came here and threatened to kill me all cause I wouldn't  let Gellert join Durmstrang. If you had really changed, you'd have come home years ago and watched your little boy grow up. You'd have had me still being in a relationship with you. I'd have waited for you, but I had no idea if you were dead or alive. I don't even find you attractive anymore..."

Sarah lied about not finding Gellert attractive. She found him as attractive as she did the day they met as soon as she saw him today. Every time she saw him, all she wanted to do was to melt in his arms and cuddle him forever, but that's wasn't an option anymore.

Grindelwald swallowed and then spoke. "Is that so? You don't even think I'm slightly attractive anymore? I know it has been 70 years, but still." Gellert walked over to Sarah and put his nose up against Sarah's right cheek as if he was smelling her face.

He pushed his wand back into his pocket and put his left hand on the bottom of Sarah's back, just above her butt. He then moved it from over her clothes to under her clothes.

Gellert's hand was cold but also warm at the same time. The palms of his hands were soft and silky feeling. It was like his hands had the power to turn Sarah's brain off and just melt her. Before she knew it, She was lying on the floor in Gellert's arms.

Sarah felt like her heart rate must have gone down to zero. She felt like she could barely breathe in Gellert's grasp. Despite feeling calm and content with him, Sarah knew that this was probably an act to get Sarah on his side. Sarah made sure to stay aware no matter how she felt inside.

"Gellert?"

"Mhm."

"I should have mentioned this earlier, but I got distracted by you... Our son ran away earlier, and I can't find him anywhere in town."

"Mhm.. That's a problem."

"Yeah, we should find him. Shouldn't we? I've never let him out alone before."

"Yeah, but I'm quite content laying here with you."

"But what if something bad happens to him, and I'm not there to save him."

"I'll send Felix to go out looking for him."

Sarah found the energy to roll herself off of Grindelwald's body so he could get up and order Felix to find her son.

"Oi Felix." He said, standing up, adjusting his tie.

"Oui, Sir?"

"Find Gellert Mitchell for us, please."

"Oui."

Felix went running off into the night, and Gellert closed the door and turned back to Sarah.

Sarah was still laid on the floor, looking dazed and sleepy.

"Maybe we should rest in your bed." He chucked and then gave a little smirk.

Sarah giggled and agreed.

Grindelwald picked her up off the floor and carried her to her bedroom.

The bedroom hadn't really changed much over the years. It looked like Sarah had bought a few new wall decorations and changed a few of the rugs, but that was it.

Gellert laid her down. Before he could walk away, Sarah had already pulled him into bed with her.

The pair of them stayed intertwined all evening till 5pm.

"We shouldn't have done that." Sarah said.

Gellert just made an odd noise.

"Are you ok?"

"Mhm."

"Good boy."

Sarah ran her hands through Gellert's hair. He was laying on her chest with only his black shirt on. His hair felt different than it did years ago. His hair felt thinner.

"I should go and check to see if our son is in his room. If he is, he will need dinner. If not, then I need to get out and find him."

"Noooo. Stay, please." Gellert put both of his hands around Sarah's wrists.

"I need to find him, Mr Grindelwald."

"Grrr."

"Don't be jelly, Gelly."

This made Grindelwald giggle a little.

"FINE!" Gellert rolled over onto his side of the bed.

"Jeez, chill." Sarah rolled out of bed and pulled on some warmer clothes and left to see if she could find her son again.
