Grindeldore One-shots

A Touch Of Mine #7

     "Ah, it was amazing!" Albus said as he laid on the couch, answering Amanda's question.
     "What did you two do?" she asked.
     "We went to his restaurant, we ate, he told me about himself, then we appeared in his bedroom and we have sex like never before." Albus brought a pillow to his chest, squeezing it, trying to have half of his face behind it.
     "Aww! That's the sweetest thing ever!" Amanda exclaimed.
     They talked for hours, Albus still in his dress, with his shoes off, until they realized it became colder inside the house.
     "What the fuck?! I turned it to 20 (68 in Fahrenheit) degrees. When did it become so cold?" Amanda asked.
     "You should look outside." Albus said, trying to comprehend the event.
     Outside was a snow storm. The streets were already covered with a layer of 30 cm (one foot) snow, which was growing alarming. The houses were already covered with snow, windows frozen in place, cars stuck on the driveways.
     "When the fuck?! This is impossible! Enos never gets upset with people!" Amanda shouted as she turned the thermostat to 28 (82.4 in Fahrenheit) degrees.
     "Could there be something that happened to him? Someone else manipulate him?" Albus asked, thinking about his mom with all the informers she has to find things about him.
     "I have no idea. Maybe. But he's kinda strong. He had to be bewitched by something strong." Amanda said, starting to make hot chocolate.
     "I'm gonna go chance." Albus said and left upstairs.
     As he entered his bedroom, he sensed Gellert's magic, a touch of ash with whiskey. He closed the door and felt a touch on his shoulders.
     "Dear, please listen to me. I come from a meeting from Wales." Gellert said as he turned Albus around.
     "What happened?" Albus asked, puzzled.
     "Your mom called the big six and she made a fuss about us dating. Almeea made her choice not to let her control you until she doesn't listen to you and understand you. I left right before her. She remained with Enos and Dimena. I suspect her for manipulating Enos for creating this weather. I don't know yet. Everyone is working on it. But don't  exit the house unless it's extreme need. Until everything is done, I will manage to get you everything you need and make them appear in you hallway. Stay safe, love!" Gellert spoke so fast and kissed Albus on the forehead.
     He disappeared just like he appeared, all of a sudden. Albus repeated everything in his mind all over again and understood everything. He changed in a hurry and went downstairs.
     "Yes, Al?" Amanda asked as she came in the living room with the hot chocolate.
     "I need you to help me with waking my magic." Albus said, sure now was the moment he would need it the most.
     "You're ready?! Oh, dear! I waited for this day for, like, ever!" Amanda said, making her pointy ears appear, her eyes became golden, her features became sharper. "Now, listen. Let's drink half of this chocolate. You'll get why after."
     Albus sat down and drank the chocolate bit by bit and they talked about the different ways of awaking magic.
     "So, the easiest way I could say magic is awaken is by having a warmth feeling on the inside. This is your first lesson. That's why we drank half." Amanda explained and made the half full mug levitate.
     "So, you'll teach me how to make stuff levitate?" Albus said, happy.
     "Well, I guess we could start by moving the mug. You know, shake." Amanda nodded.
     "Alright. So, how do we start?"
     "Concentrate on the heat the chocolate gave you and think about something that heats you to feed it and maintain it and grow it, if you could. As you feel it grow, try to concentrate it in your hands, alright? Try to visualize yourself and visualize your hands holding a globe of power; then, visualize the mug. Half full, half empty, however you feel it is. Visualize it and try to concentrate the power there. Try to move the power towards it and activate it."
     As Amanda was talking, Albus closed his eyes and visualized a ball of energy in his hands, moving towards the mug, wrapping around it and making it glow. As he pushed the energy even more, the mug shook.
     "Ah, you made it! Amazing! Very good!" Amanda smiled as she got up and hugged Albus after the mug stopped moving.
     "I never thought I could make it from my first time." Albus said, smiling with relief.
     The mug shook again and the hot chocolate exploded everywhere. Amanda got burned but she made the chocolate float from where it landed and cleaned the surface.
     "Maybe a little less power next time, ok?" Amanda said. "But you're doing great, Al! I swear."
