Grindelwald approached from a narrow tunnel that was built within the seating area of the Lestrange Mausoleum. You watched on as the many crowd members 'oohed' and 'ahhed' as he approached the centre of the round stage.

"GGRRIINNDDEELLWWAALLLDD!" People yelled at him, all Grindelwald did was grin and bat his eyelids at his many adoring fans. "WE LOVE YOU!"

"My children!" He started. He stood with his arms out as if they were wings. "You all know why I am here!"

"We certainly do." She mocked. She only spoke in a near whisper while Grindelwald's voice boomed around the room so everyone could hear him. Despite this, he heard her. 

Grindelwald stopped for a second then spun around a few times, (trying to work out where the woman who spoke was). At first he couldn't work it out until the lady that accompanied him whispered something into his ear. The lady was tall, slim and very smartly dressed. If she was an older lady she'd look exactly like a headteacher at a school, no, her name was Vinda Rosier and she was one of Grindelwald's longest and most respected followers. She whispered into his right ear and nodded her head into a direction to the right of her to signal where the woman's voice came from. Grindelwald turned and saw her, he could tell it was her by the look of disgust on her face to have one of the most powerful men in the world staring at her.

Grindelwald made sure his wand was tucked safely away in his jacket sleeve and stepped down from the stage and into the crowd where the woman was.

"Darling, do you have anything you'd like to share?"

"Maybe I do."

Grindelwald was taken aback by her cockiness. "What's your name, woman?"

"Ziggy Astoni."

"Miss Astoni, what brings you here?"

"To tell you how despicable you are."

"I am no more despicable than you, my love."

"Are you sure about that, Mr Grindelwald? Hasn't it taken you over 20 years to gain your very few supporters, Isn't it true that you're yet to gain access to all 3 of the Deathly Hallows? Is it not true that the love of your life didn't even believe in you?"

"Keep Albus Dumbledore's name out of your *freaking* mouth."

The crowd around them had slowly disappeared or stepped away from the arguing pair.

"Why, what are you going to do? Banish me from your silly little party that you have going on right now?"

"I'll do something, all right."

"What?"

"I'll curse you..."

"Do it, I dare you. Or maybe just prove to me how great you are? How many have you killed? How many laws have you broken? How many countries in the world are you a wanted man in? How many cities have  wanted posters with your name and face on them?"

"I don't answer to Aurors like you, Miss Astoni."

"Why not. Prove all of these grand things to me, Grindelwald. Tell the world how epic you really are..."

"I don't need to."

"Why? Shouldn't all of the people who are still at this god forsaken rally know what they are signing themselves up for?"

"Shut up, Miss Astoni before you succeed in making Mr Grindelwald horribly upset." Vinda butted in.

"With much respect, madam, but I am not talking to you. Answer me, Grindelwald."

"I am a successful wizard. I have forget men after men and wizard after wizard to get to where I am today and if you think your silly distractions will change things then think again."

"Is that a threat? Are you threatening me, an Auror."

"Indeed I am. So leave or get removed-"

"By who?"

"By myself and Miss Rosia."

Vinda was shocked that Grindelwald was involving her further. She positioned herself to the right of him and drawn her wand towards Ziggy. Grindelwald did the same.

"Don't go against me, Miss Astoni. Everyone knows you'll all be rooting for me soon enough."

*Zoom* She was teleported from the Rally.

THE END

A/N: Ziggy Astoni is actually the name of a character from an Australian TV show called Home and Away. I really like that show and I am basing this character on her so Google her so you know what she looks like.
