Grindelwald's Marauders

Friend Or Foe

Olive and Lucius went on to make more small talk about her job and Lucius' love life. Some would say they were becoming friends, but really they were only speaking to one another because of the circumstance they both found themselves in. Neither of them really wanted to be locked in a room with each other, but they didn't have a choice until Grindelwald arrived back.

The two were stood by the window when they heard, "Welcome Gellert Grindelwald." Be said by a female robotic voice. Grindelwald then opened the door and instantly pointed his wand at Olive and Lucius. He shut the door behind him and locked it using his wand.

Olive instantly put her hands up as soon as she realised that Grindelwald was armed. Lucius remained still and calm.

"Names." Grindelwald growled.

"Professor Olive Collins, Teacher at Hogwarts."

"Lucius Malfoy." Lucius said.

"Sit down."

Lucius and Olive slowly sat down on the floor next to each other. Grindelwald walked closer to them and focused on each of them multiple times before speaking again.

"Hmm, I think I'll take Olive first."

Lucius and Olive looked at each other.

"Why?" She asked.

Grindelwald quickly swooped down and put his wand to her throat. "Don't say anything." He told her.

Olive only nodded. Lucius stayed quiet to ensure Olive's safety, he didn't want her getting hurt.

Grindelwald then grabbed the collar of her jacket and yanked her to her feet. He then grabbed her out of the room and somehow locked the door behind him while keeping Olive secure in his grasp.

Grindelwald then pushed Olive into the elevator and followed her inside. The doors closed and Grindelwald inputted where he wanted the elevator to take them. The elevator jolted around until it stopped. The doors opened again which revealed a new corridor.

The corridor looked like the one from earlier, wooden and navy blue coloured. Grindelwald then dragged Olive down the corridor and then into a new room, his office bedroom. He brought her into the office part and placed her into a little metal chair He then used some invisible rope to tie her wrists, ankles and torso to the chair to restrain her. Olive didn't resist. Grindelwald then stood opposite her.

"Olive Collins."

"Yes."

"You work at Hogwarts, do you?" He said slowly.

Olive nodded.

"For how long?"

"Only this month."

"Ok." Grindelwald said with a slight sigh, it was as if he wished for a different answer. "How did you get here?"

"I accidentally touched a portkey that brought me here."

"Which portkey?"

"It was in Professor Lupin's classroom."

"Ah, that failure."

"Excuse me sir, but Remus Lupin isn't a failure. I find him very interesting and intelligent."

Gellert laughed as if what Olive was saying was a joke. he then quickly changed his mood, bend down and grabbed Olive's chair by the arms of it, it made Olive jump.

"Have you met his precious little friend, Sirius?"

"Yes, he was nice too although I don't know him well."

Gellert smiled, but stopped quickly. His mood changed again and seemed playful now. "You have nice hair." He randomly said.

"Oh..." Olive didn't know what to say. "Thank you." She blushed although she wasn't sure if this was sincere.
"Have you always wanted to be a teacher?"
"Yes sir."
What do you teach exactly?"
"Transfiguration."
"Ah, I was never very good at that, maybe you could teach me."
"Maybe one day, sir." Olive joked.
"You could be so much more than a teacher, Olive." Grindelwald said.

'He must be drunk' Olive thought while staring at him. 'There is no way he speaks like this to everyone.'

"How so?"
"I think you could be a model."
"A model? What do you know about modelling?"
"All I know is that you need to be attractive to do it, and you Olive are very attractive." Grindelwald explained.
"I'm not very attractive sir. I'm just a average looking individual."
"Yeah, but a pretty individual."

Olive blushed again.

"Thank you sir."
"No problem."
"May I ask you something?" Olive asked.
"Yes, if you must, would you like a drink in the mean time?"
"A drink? Of what?"
"Anything; wine, shandy, rum, vodka..."
"Can't I have water?"
"No, I'll get you a wine. Wine is similar to water." Grindelwald stood up and walked into the bedroom half of the room.

Olive heard some crashes of glasses coming together, but she thought nothing of it. She didn't really understand how wine and water were considered similar, but she went with it anyway.

As Grindelwald walked back with two drinks in his hands Olive asked him a question.

"Why did you trap me and Lucius here?"
"Because I don't enjoy it when peasants are wondering around my castle uninvited." Grindelwald said while using his wand and untie Olives right hand so she could hold her drink.

Olive took the drink and drank half of it. She then looked around the room.

"Is this your office or something?"
"Yes." Grindelwald said while looking around too.
"And is that your bedroom?" She gestured into the direction of where Grindelwald went when he got the drinks.
"Yes."
"And you own this castle?"
"Yes."
"Wow, owning castles isn't very common."
"Oh it is." Grindelwald assured her.
"How so? I've never met anyone who owns a castle."
"You'd be surprised how common it can be."
"Hmm."

Olive stayed silent for a while after this. Grindelwald spoke next. "Are you feeling cold?"
Olive nodded slightly. She did feel cold even though Austria wasn't a super cold country.
"Castles do get quite drafty at this time of year, let me make us a fire."

Grindelwald put his drink down on the floor and walked into his bedroom to start a new fire in the fireplace. All he had to do was put a few coals onto the fire and used his wand to set it on fire. He then returned to Olive.

"You'll start warming up soon." He told her.
"Good."
"Does Hogwarts get cold this time of year?"
"Yes. Did you go there?"
"What do you mean, Olive?" Grindelwald seemed very calm by now.
"Did you go to school there?"
"No, I went to a school in Bulgaria."
"Oh, I didn't know there was one there."
"It's called Durmstrang Institute. I'm surprised you never heard of it. I thought Hogwarts did the TriWizard Tournament."
"They stopped it years ago." Olive informed him. "A boy called Cedric died during one of the challenges and the head teacher at the time stopped it and banned it from being a tournament in England permanently."
"Oh dear me, that must have been really unfortunate." Grindelwald was being sarcastic. "What killed him?"
"I'm not sure, we never got told."
"Oh dear, poor boy....That must have been devastating."
"Uh-huh."
"Anyway, maybe it's good that the TriWizard tournament is over, is was a hard tournament to do."
"Yes, did you do it at your school?"
"I didn't personally, but our school took part in it and basically won every year." Grindelwald explained.
"Why didn't you do it?"
"By the time I was old enough to take part I was expelled from school."
"Why?"

Olive took a sip from her glass.

"Let's just say I was a little bit too naughty sometimes." Grindelwald said with a smirk.
