The Grindelwalds 2

Is Gellert Grindelwald The Real Deal? Part 32

It was still daylight when he arrived in the driveway where he was murdered. Grindelwald didn't quite know what to do, he didn't really know how he felt, but it felt weird being back after so long. He walked over to the front door and pushed the handle open, the door opened. The house looked quite.

He walked in and walked down the hallway, he left the door open. He saw the note that Sarah had left the girls on the kitchen counter. Gellert looked opposite the kitchen and saw a staircase. He decided to walk up it.

He came to Sarah's bedroom and pushed the door open. It was empty. Grindelwald walked over to his wardrobe and opened it. His wand was inside. He picked his wand up and played with it.

"Accio." He said as he pointed his wand at the lamp on Sarah's side of the bed.

The lamp lifted itself up and unplugged itself from the wall, it flew across the room and fell into his left hand. Gellert was glad that he remembered magic after all this time. He took the lamp back to where he found it and plugged it back in. Gellert then had the bright idea to find the children, he imagined that they would be in one of the bedrooms so he picked the middle room.

It was Benji's room, Gellert walked inside and automatically stopped dead in the doorway. Benji's body was laying on his bed. He still looked healthy, but dead. Gellert shut the door carefully and quietly and kneeled down beside Benji. Gellert touched his forehead and his chest, he definitely wasn't breathing. He was confused to how Benji had died, he wondered if it was something similar to what happened to his other son, Gellert Jr, but was unsure that Sarah would allow one of her sons to make the same mistake. He kissed Benji's forehead and left his room.

The room next door, had the door open. Gellert was worried so he made sure his wand was ready, just in case something dodgy was going on. He pushed the door open slowly and a girl was in there. She was sat on the floor playing with dolls in their dolls house.

"Mum?" She called, she heard the door open. Penelope didn't look back so she didn't know it was her father. "Can I have a new dolly please, all of these are boring."

"Yes, Penelope." Grindelwald said. "I'll have to ask your mother about it though."

Penelope had never heard someone speak like that, it definitely wasn't Mildred or Sarah or even Richard. She quickly turned round and looked up at the man. She quickly realised who it was.

"Daddy?"

Gellert kneeled down in front of her. "Yes."

Tears filled her eyes, "But daddy, you are dead which means you can't really be daddy."

"I am, I am Gellert Grindelwald-"

"No, no you are not. This is a dumb prank isn't it, well it isn't funny at all. I am telling mum!"

Penelope ran past him and ran downstairs shouting mum.

Gellert stood up and closed the bedroom door. He figured that he might as well check the other bedroom near the bathroom. This time he knocked on the door.

"Come in." He heard from inside.

Gellert did as the voice said and opened the door. Luzia was looking right at him as he opened the door. She jumped out of her chair a little when she realised who he was.

"Dad?"

"Yes, Luzia."

"How? What?"

Gellert walked inside and kneeled down beside her. They could both heard Penelope running around the house screaming, she clearly hadn't seen the note Sarah left them.
