The Grindelwalds 3

Cheater Or Not? Part 2

Later that evening, the children washed and went to bed and Gellert and Sarah were finally alone. Sarah was in the bathroom washing her face while Gellert was changing out of his clothes into a navy-blue t-shirt and shorts.

Gellert wanted to ask Sarah about Richard Villarreal being at their house, but he wanted to wait until Sarah was finished in the bathroom. After a couple of minutes she walked out and sat on her side of the bed.

"Sit down Gellert." She told him.

Gellert sat down on his side of the bed next to Sarah. "Sarah? You never gave me that big kiss you promised me before you went on your run. I was well behaved while you were gone."

Sarah smiled at him. "I though you forgot, ok then."

Sarah moved over onto Gellert's side of the bed and kissed him on the cheek.

He growled.

"What's wrong? I kissed you."

"I though you were going to kiss me on my lips." Gellert said while pretending to sound all moody.

"I never specified where, I just sad a very big kiss."

"But that kiss wasn't even very big, kiss me again please."

"Fine, Gellert." Sarah grabbed Gellert's chin and kissed him on the lips.  "There, are you satisfied now?"

Gellert nodded very enthusiastically.

"Good boy. Now sleepy time."

Sarah wiggled herself back onto her side of the bed, got under the covers and turned her lamp off.

"Sarah?" Gellert started

Gellert heard Sarah sigh.

"What?"

"The children told me something while you were gone today and I want to speak with you about it."

Sarah sighed again and turned her lamp back on.

"What was that then?"

She sat up in bed and turned to face Gellert who was still sat on top of the covers.

"They told me that last year, you invited a man here to live. Is it true?"

"Yes."

"Why on Earth would you invite another man to live here with you and the children?"

"It wasn't like that, Gellert. We never kissed or anything!"

Luzia and Penelope woke up and heard their parents shouting. They walked out of their bedrooms and stood on the landing area above the stairs.

"But you told him to move in and look after the children with you?"

"Yes, because I was frightened of Delphini. I needed help Gellert. I am not powerful on my own."

"But you killed Albus on your own."

"Only cause you made him weak first."

Luzia and Penelope were shocked. Their mother just admitted to killing Albus Dumbledore.

"I was trying to kill him myself, I was sick of him and his stupid attitude- acting like a nice man when I knew very well what kind of man he was. He deserved to die long before he did!" Gellert shouted.

"Yes and I helped you. The point is that I didn't do it all alone, I had help from you. The point still stands that I couldn't have looked after the children alone. I though I told you about Delphini coming to Hogwarts and how she hurt Benji and Luzia. I thought you understood I needed help from Richard."
