Grindelwald & The No-Maj

The Kiss

As they ate, they chatted even more.

"So what wizarding school did you go to?" Adonis asked after swallowing a forkful of pasta.

"Oh.... I was... home school actually."

"Really, are your parents wizards too?"

She nodded.

"Nice. My grandfather was a half blood and so was my father."

"Hmm. This spaghetti is really nice."

"Thank you, it was my mothers recipe." He said with a wink.

Harley was flattered by his wink yet again and melted a little inside.

"May I ask what took you away from your role?" Harley asked. "Professor McGonagall said you'd returned after a year away...

"Yeah, well... I had some business to attend to."

"Like what?"

He faked a laugh, "Haha... nothing."

"I won't tell."

"I know, but it's fine. I sorted it." He seemed unsure.

"Hmm... You must be hungry." She said glancing down at Adonis' plate. You've already finished.

"Oh yeah, sorry. I can't resist my mothers recipe."

"Let's share the rest of mine."

Adonis got off of the arm of the chair and sat beside Harley  on the sofa. They took a few bites off of the plate and started slurping their spaghetti into their mouths. They sucked and sucked and sucked the pasta up until- *Mwah* Their lips touched while sucking the two different ends of spaghetti. The kiss was quite awkward so it finished quickly.

"Oh..." Harley said. "I better erm... go." She passed Adonis the plate and stood up.

"It's fine, Alizon." He said. "I'm not angry at you." Harley slowly turned away from the door and looked at him in the eyes. His eyes pierced her heart. He stepped towards her, "I don't want you to feel bad."

Harley smiled a little. *Bong bong bong* The school's grandfather clock struck 1pm. It snapped the pair out of whatever they were feeling.

"I better go back to my classroom." Adonis said then took his glasses off and wiped the lenses with the sleeve of his cardigan. He put them back on and held the door open for Harley.

Harley walked back to the bedroom Mr Filch assigned to her and tried to move past the embarrassment she felt.

*Scrape scrape  scrape.* Harley just wanted to lay in bed, but a scraping noise kept disturbing her. She opened her curtains, but nothing was outside the window. She heard the noise again and opened her door. There was a white kitten sat there, licking it's paw.

Harley raised an eyebrow and invited the kitten in. "Come in?" She said. Part of her expected the cat to say thank you, but it just skipped inside and hoped onto her bed.

Harley closed the door and recognised that the cat sat on the end of the bed just like Grindelwald used to when she lived in his castle.

"Grindelwald?"

"Meowwww- Miss Birdcross." He transformed into a person. Harley was gobsmacked. "Shocked?"

She nodded. "W-why?"

"I needed to speak with you. Did you get my last letter?"

She nodded.

"Has he spoke to you about a book?"

"Nope. I ate lunch with him though and then we-"

"Shh, I don't care. I just need you to get that book."

"Yes, Sir. What's so special about the book anyway?"

"That isn't important- AHHH." He moaned.

"Sir? Are you alright? Should I get help?"

Grindelwald fell to the floor and looked like he was having a type of seizure. He laid there for a while after he stopped moving. Harley closed her bedroom curtains and got him a glass of water. She then laid next to him and put him in the recovery position. She rubbed his back and arms to try and calm him while he rested.

"T-Take the neck-" He whined.

"What?" She whispered.

"Take the pendent off my neck-"

She nodded and removed the necklace from his neck without moving his head too much. She put it on the end of her bed and Grindelwald quickly got better. He drank his water and sat on the floor quietly.

"Do you feel better now?"

He nodded and kept drinking.

"What happened?"

"It's my pendent, it's doing odd things these days."

"How?"

"It's magic, it can do anything. I'm being punished for leaving the tomb in Godric's Hollow. This is why I need that damn book."

"The book can help you?"

"Shh, I've already said too much. I just need you to get that book for me." He told her.

"I'll try my best."

"You're a good girl, Harley. I just need you to do this one job for me then I'll take you back to where I found you."

She smiled. "Thank you." Grindelwald stood up and transformed back into a white kitten. She smiled again. "You're a cute kitten. Mr Grindelwald." Although the cat looked like a plain cat, Harley could tell that Grindelwald was frowning at her. The cat then jumped up onto her bed and climbed up onto her headboard. He put his front paws onto the bedroom wall and carved some words into the wall using his claws. I am not a kitten and I'm definitely not cute.

She giggled. "Well, you are quite small for a cat."

The claw marks erased themselves and Grindelwald wrote something else. I'm not small, I'm just slender. The cat then hoped off of the bed, stuck it's tongue out at Harley and scratched at the door to be let out. Harley opened the door for him and he ran off down the corridor.

Harley knew she needed to get that book pronto. She noticed that Grindelwald left his pendent on her bed so she decided to put it around her own neck for safe keeping. 'It won't hurt me' she thought, 'I'm just a Muggle.'
