     I don't know if I'm gonna be able to write over the summer or over the next year, cause it's a final year and I have to focus, but if I have time to write during the summer or in the next year, you'll see. So, for now, I only think I would be able to write this or a few more chapters, but not much. In the summer, we'll see. Next year, I'll tell you, but maybe the schedule of publishing will change. In the summer, maybe too. I took too long to explain this, but hope you get it.
Plus, the Akbus thing, that's the name of our community from now on. )))))))

     Albus didn't know what happened to Gellert, but the blond was rather avoiding him.
     "Gell, what's wrong?", Albus stopped him once on the hallways and pushed him against a wall.
     "Nothing, Al.", Gellert said, pushing the redhead away.
     "Please, tell me.", Albus begged.
     "I swear, it's nothing.", Gellert said and walked away.
     "What's wrong, Ally?", Aberforth said as he approached his brother.
     "It's Gellert. He's avoiding me lately. I don't know what's going on with him.", Albus said, turning to face his brother.
     "Come here.", Aberforth made his sign to approach him even more. "Don't tell anyone, but when Dimitrov called Gellert a week ago, he told Gellert to don't help you that much on tasks."
     "But he didn't help me cause I wasn't able to do something. He helped me cause I was unconscious."
     "I know. Dimitrov knows it too. But you know, each headmaster wants their student to win. He didn't say to don't help you at all, only to don't help you unless it's been too long. But Gellert took it personal, I guess. There's no other explanation.", Aberforth said.
     "Well, thank you, Ab. I guess I could just be more careful next time, not to make Gellert have to save me, again.", Albus said, smiling slightly at Aberforth and leaving him by the window.

     At dinner that night, Gellert sat two seats away from Albus, next to Jeremy.

     When Albus returned to their shared bedroom, he caught Gellert taking his stuff.
     "You really are going to avoid me all the way to the end of the year, when we won't see each other anymore?", Albus snapped, because he had had enough.
     "Al, don't be like that. Please, you don't understand.", Gellert started,but  he was cut off by Albus.
     "Oh, I understand very well! I know what happened between you and Dimitrov and you don't have to take such a small thing as an insult! It's nothing! What he told you, he was right!", Albus said.
     "So you listened?", Gellert started becoming a little frustrated.
     "No, but I found you somehow!", Albus almost shouted.
     On the other side of the door, Jeremy and Aberforth wanted to enter the room, but when they heard Albus shouting, they backed off, going back to the common room.
     "And why do you care what I think of what Dimitrov said?! He told me that, not you!", Gellert shouted.
     "Because I care for you and I don't want you to feel bad because of something that involves me! It's not the point if you want to be with me!", Albus shouted back.
     Gellert was caught off guard. He didn't realize he had been hurting Albus with his attitude. He was the jackass in the story and he had to shout at such a lovely person to realize it.
     "Oh, Albus! I'm sorry. I didn't realize it. I-"
     "Forget it! I don't even know why I had to know what happened between you and Dimitrov. I just wanted to help.", Albus said, going to the door.
     "Just listen to me.", Gellert said, grabbing Albus' left wrist gently.
     "What?"
     "I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was hurting you with my attitude. I don't think I have something to defend myself with, but I have to say, I never cared for someone like this to think of their feeling. I know it's not an argument. I know it's poorly put in words, but I need you to understand I would never hurt you on purpose. I love you, Al!"
     Albus was trapped between Gellert and the door and just looked Gellert in the eyes.
     "I love you too!", Albus said, pulling the blond in a kiss.
     They kissed for a while in which Gellert pressed Albus even more against the door. Albus was moaning and he started sweating.
     "I could kiss you all night, darling!", Gellert said.
     There were three knocks on the door.
     "Can we enter? Things got better since we came the first time and I guess either one is killed or you're kissing.", they heard Aberforth from the other side.
     "No, actually, you can't.", Gellert said, using his wand to lock the door and cast a silence spell over the room.
