The Professors Final Mistake (A Gellert Grindelwald Story)

(10) Dinner And An Exam

Call me by your name by Lil Nas X

Shannon stayed in her bedroom until she heard everyone else in the Gryffindor common room leave until she left to go to Grindelwald's classroom. She waited around 10 minutes before leaving the common room and she prayed that everyone was in the Great Hall. She left the corridor that had all of the girls dorm rooms on it, went down some stairs, through the common room and out through the portrait hole, (even the fat lady was too busy eating dinner to notice Shannon leaving). She rushed through the enormous castle till she got to the 3rd floor where the DADA classrooms were.

Shannon walked up to Grindelwald's classroom door and waited for him to let her inside. She knocked and he answered. He shut the door behind her and locked it with a single metal key.

"How was the exam?" He asked as he sat at his desk and she pulled a seat up beside him.

"I told you this earlier, it was good."

"Really?"

"Yes, surprisingly."

"Good, John and Steven seem alright with it too..."

"Yeah... I might have helped them revise a little though."

He smiled. "I knew you'd help people, you're nice like that."

"Unlike you when you were in school."

"Hmm. Maybe if you went to Durmstrang while I was there I'd have behaved." He grinned.

"Hmm, I bet you wouldn't have. And guess what, I like a bad boy."

"Hmm, that's why you like me now."

"Obviously. You're my naughty b-boyfriend- I mean, just erm..."

"Boyfriend is fine..."

"Oh... thank you. I'm so glad I came here, Gellert."

"Because of Steven and John?"

"NO! Because of you, silly."

They smiled.

"I can't imagine life without you, Miss Osborn."

"Oh, I forgot to ask, did you write a letter to my parents recently?"

"Yeah, during your first exam."

"Why?"

"Because I wanted to tell them how smart their beautiful daughter is. Have I done something wrong? Did they mention that I wrote the letter in fluent German?"

"They didn't and no you didn't do anything wrong. I just didn't expect it. I even wrote back and told them I'd decided to become a DADA teacher like you. I actually received their letter just before you sent yours after you left the common room earlier."

Shannon's tummy started to rumble.

"I can tell you're hungry." Grindelwald said. "Not only am I a mind reader, but I can also hear your stomach. What do feel like eating?"

Can we have the thing that we sometimes have downstairs in the Great Hall?"

"Like what?"

"The sausage and mash potatoes thing."

"Bangers and mash?"

"Yes, that."

"Certainly." He flicked his wand and two plates of mash potatoes appeared with a few sausages ontop. "Guten appetit"   (bon appetit in German)

"Thank you."

The pair ate their food and chatted about Shannon's worried about her upcoming exams. After they finished eating Shannon asked for dessert.
