Grindelwald & The No-Maj

The Book

Harley bumped into Adonis later that day at dinner time. He sat one end of the staff table and she sat on the other end. Although they weren't so close, they kept staring at each other.

Professor McGonagall did a speech that updated the children on whatever todays news was and everyone groaned and moaned about it as all they really wanted to do was eat dinner.

After dinner was eaten, (Harley ate fish and chips with gravy), she waited behind so she talk with Adonis before bed. Adonis smiled at her from across the table as all the members of staff waited for the head boy and girl to lead out each house. Once it was time for the teachers to leave Harley waited behind her chair for Adonis to walk to her.

"Hey." He said.

"Hello, want to walk and talk before bed?"

"Sure."

The pair left the Great Hall and walked through the ground floor of the school. When they eventually reached the courtyard they noticed that it was heavily raining.

"Want to run though it?" Adonis asked.

"Shotgun not me!" Harley quickly said.

He rolled his eyes. "Fine!" He took his ugly looking cardigan off and rolled his shirt sleeves up to his elbows. He then magicked a hair bobble out of thin air and tied his shoulder length hair back into a bun. "Hold these." He took his glasses off and passed them to Harley. He then raced across the courtyard.

"Wow." Harley said.

As quick as a flash; Adonis ran back. His hair was all wet and so was his face. He actually looked really handsome with wet skin and hair and Harleys eyes met with his torso as his wet shirt had gone see through. She tried not to look, but couldn't help it. 'It's not like I'm a creepy stranger and we've kissed before anyway'. She thought.

"Hey, what's that?" He spotted Grindelwald's pendent around her neck. Under the necklace was a red rash like mark on her chest. "It's hurting you. Are you allergic to metal?"

"Oh, no. I'm fine." She took the pendent out of her hand and tucked it under her shirt. "Let's go for a more dry walk, yeah?"

"S-sure. Are you sure you're ok?"

"Yes, totally." Harley was worried about the red mark, but tried to ignore her worries and focus on Grindelwald's mission.

The pair walked back through the corridors until they reached office 111 (Adonis' room).

"Want to come in for a drink, before bed?"

"Sure."

Adonis held the door open for Harley and they both walked in. Harley sat on the sofa which had the yellow Hufflepuff pillows on it.

"What do you want to drink, coffee, tea or something stronger?"

"Strange request, but do you have any butterbeer wine?"

Butterbeer wine is like regular wine, but butterbeer flavoured.

"Of course." Adonis flicked his wand and a bottle of wine appeared. He got 2 wine glasses and poured about 3/4s of the wine into each glass. He passed Harley her glass and he sat next to her on the sofa with his own glass. "Cheers."

"Cheers." He repeated and they hit their glasses together and drank.

"Damn you have a lot of books." She said looking over at the book shelf in the corner of the room.

"Yeah. I am a little bit of an addict for books. I always get them sent to me for Christmas and Birthdays. I have all sorts of things."

"I love reading. Before I came here I actually read A Christmas Carol-" She forgot that it was a Muggle book. "I- I know it's a silly Muggle book, but-"

"It's fine. I read that when I was a boy. It was pretty good if I say so myself. Take a look at my shelf if you like." he drank more wine and Harley took this as a opportunity to look for the book Grindelwald needed.

There was many books on there, maybe about 100. Some were small books that maybe had 50 pages in them. Some were very large with 1000s of pages in them. Some had pictures on the front covers and others didn't and some seemed to be written in other languages other than English.

One of the books Harley spotted was a book that had a green old looking front cover. It was written in another language.

"Adonis, what does this say?"

Adonis stood up and checked. "Oh it's in Latin."

"What does it mean?"

"It says, Remedium vivere. Which means The Cure To Liv. It has many spells and potions in it. I haven't really read much of it as it holds very powerful incantations in it. "

"Hmm, who gave you it?"

"It was already here when I got the office."

"May I borrow it?"

"Whatever for?" Adonis asked. "Do you want to do dark magic or something?"

"Maybe- haha I'm just kidding. I just want to look at it. It has so many interesting spells and potions in it."

"I guess so, just please bring it back. It isn't really mine to allow people to borrow."

"Ok." She finished her drink and told him how tired she was (and a little tipsy).

"Goodnight then, Alizon." He kissed her cheek and she smiled.

"Goodnight, Adonis. See you at breakfast tomorrow."

The book was quite heavy, but Harley managed to carry it back to the ground floor as carefully as she could without anyone noticing her. As soon as she arrived back in her bedroom she locked the door and hid the book away under her bed. 'Now how do I tell Grindelwald I got it' She thought. She knew about sending letters via owls even though she had no access to one. She wrote a note to him anyway and left it on her bedside until the next morning.

6am the next day

Harley made sure she woke up bright and early to be able to send the letter via own without anyone noticing her. She left the school via one of the exits and walked around the grounds until she found The Owlery. 

The Owlery was luckily empty so she could easily go in and send her owl. Her letter said as follows:

Dear Grindelwald,

I have the book.

From Harley.

It was simple and quick. She sent the owl on it's way and made her way back inside of school. She walked back to her bedroom and checked that the green book was there, it was.
