Gellert exited Albus's room and made his way to Krystal's room. Along the way, he couldn't help but wonder if Krystal liked him more than friends. At this point, he knew that he was falling in love with her. Heck, he already was in love with her. He finally found himself in front of Krystal's door. Before he could knock on the open door to make it known that he's there, he heard a beautiful voice coming from inside the room. He leaned against the door frame watching Krystal sing to herself. Her voice was heavenly. Krystal turned to find Gellert leaning there with a smile on his face.
Krystal: Gellert! Goodness! Please don't scare me like that.
Gellert: *laughs* You have a beautiful voice.
Krystal: And you have a beautiful laugh. So, we're even.
Gellert: Thank you. You should sing often.
Krystal: *blush* Thank you.
Gellert: Anyways, are you ready to go?
Krystal: Yes, I am.
Gellert apparates Krystal's bags straight to Nurmengard. The two of them walk down to the rest of the professors and his followers.
Gellert: Are we ready to go?
Severus: We are. Will we be apparating?
Gellert: No, we'll be going by the carriage. Since we always apparate, we thought we would go a different way.
All of them made their way outside to find carriages pulled by Thestrals waiting. Gellert, Albus, Krystal and Minerva would go in one. Gellert helped Krystal get on before taking a seat next to her. As they all made their way to Nurmengard castle, the sun had gone down. Krystal had been reading alongside Gellert but the light leaving made it tough and plus they were getting tired. Minerva and Albus had already fallen asleep. Krystal kept her book earlier than Gellert. As Gellert was finishing up his reading, he felt something drop on his shoulder. He turned to look at what it was and found Krystal sound asleep. He smiled a little before pushing a few stray hairs out of her face. He carefully took his coat that he took off long ago and placed it on Krystal's shoulder, keeping her warm. Eventually, he fell asleep too with his head laying on Krystal's head. Hours later, Albus and Minerva woke up to find Krystal and Gellert asleep. They couldn't help but smile at the sweet sight. When Gellert woke up and saw the two professors looking at him and Krystal, he told them not to talk about it whatsoever. Thankfully, they had reached Nurmengard. Krystal was still asleep as Minerva and Albus exited the carriage. Gellert gently rubbed Krystal's arm to wake her up. She woke up with a smile on her face which made Gellert smile. The two of them exit the carriage and Krystal's jaw drops at the sight of the Nurmengard castle. Gellert's smile widens at the sight of Krystal being in awe. He escorts everyone inside.
Gellert: Welcome to Nurmengard.
Severus: This is impressive, Grindelwald.
Gellert: I hope you enjoy your stay. Vinda, Abernathy, Credence, please escort our guests to their rooms so that they can get settled in. Queenie, could you prepare something to eat?
Queenie: Of course, sir.
Gellert: Good. Krystal, please come with me. I'll show you to your room.
Krystal: Of course.
As all of them split up, Vinda, Credence, Queenie and Abernathy are pretty surprised that Gellert wanted to show Krystal her room on his own. It was also surprising that Krystal's room was really near to Gellert's room. His room is always furthest away from everyone's rooms. Krystal links arms with Gellert as they walk up the stairs and down a few halls.
Gellert: Excited?
Krystal: Very. This place is phenomenal! And I haven't seen much of it yet.
Gellert: Would you like to look at your room first or around the place first?
Krystal: Could you maybe show me around?
Gellert: As you wish.
Gellert brings her to see a library that made her incredibly shocked. She stood in the middle, looking around in awe. Next he brings her to the music room where a grand piano stood in the middle with other instruments around as well. There was also enough place to even dance there. Gellert enjoyed watching Krystal who gently ran her fingers against the piano keys. She spun in the middle of the room before looking at Gellert with a massive smile on his face. After, he brought Krystal to his office which made her smile. It was interesting to watch Krystal look around in curiosity. When she sat in his chair with a smirk, he almost choked on his breath. Krystal sitting with authority was a massive turn on to anyone but thankfully for him, he could control himself. Finally, he showed Krystal to her room. Opening the door, Krystal's jaw drops. It was a stunning bedroom with dark blue bedsheets. The room was a dark colour but Krystal absolutely loved it. Her hands run against the material before laying down on it. Gellert let out an amusing smile before making his way towards Krystal. He sat beside her and moves a few strands away from her face with an unreadable but soft expression. Krystal couldn't help but admire how Gellert looks. His mismatched eyes show so much emotion yet you can never read it unless he wants you to. He had a toned body and was well proportioned. Before anything could happen, Vinda knocked on the door.
Vinda: I'm sorry to disturb but Queenie has called for you to join for lunch.
With a blush, Krystal got up and followed Vinda, leaving Gellert still sitting there. He wanted to know what Krystal felt when it came to him but there is no way would he try asking. He made his way down to the dining room where all of them were sitting at the table. He sat at the head of the table, ready for dinner.
The food Queenie made was great. Everyone really enjoyed the food. Minerva then decided to talk about baking.
Minerva: Queenie, will you be baking cookies and cakes for Christmas?
Queenie: I will be. Why?
Minerva: Oh, just because if you ever need help then you can ask Krystal for help. She's great at cooking and baking.
Krystal: Minerva...
Minerva: What? I'm just saying...
Queenie: Well, if you'd like to join in on cooking, you're most welcome.
Krystal: Well, okay. I don't see why not.
