Silver Eyes

Chapter 1- First Meeting

Aurelius Dumbledore was frowning out the window, looking out towards the mountainside that he had blasted a hole in just days earlier. He was thinking of his mother. Not Mary Lou Barebone; the woman who raised him, the woman who had hated him and beat him. No, he thought of his birth mother; the woman who had named him and he couldn't remember. Why had she sent him with his aunt to america? Who was she? Who was HE really? All Grindelwald had given him was a name; Aurelius Dumbledore. he was so lost in thought that he didn't register someone was calling his new name.

Aurelius.

Aurelius.

Aurelius?

Credence!

Aurelius' head snapped to the side.

"That's NOT my name." he snarled.

He could feel his Obscurus vibrating inside of him, begging to be let out. To lash out as this...

When he saw the girl he paused. The first thing he noticed about her was her eyes. Silver eyes, she had wide silver eyes.

"Sorry." She admonished.

"I've been calling you for some time now." She held his gaze. "I shouldn't have used that name."

Her silver eyes were filled with remorse. Them being silver wasn't the most striking thing about them. They seemed so... old. filled with ageless an ageless knowledge, though she couldn't have been any older than he. She had eyes that had seen countless wonders, and unspeakable horrors.

Aurelius felt both he and his Obscurus settle at her apology. He could tell she was truly sorry. He nodded and took in the rest of her. She was dressed form head to toe in stark white. She wore a high collard blouse that nearly reached her ears. Long billowing sleeves that ended past her wrists/ Her blouse was embroidered with silver birds not quite the same shade as her eyes that swirled from her wrists to her heart. She wore white gloves over her hands, which she clasped gently in front of herself. A billowing white skirt ran to her thighs with her legs  wrapped win white pantie-hoes. She wore simple white slippers that he thought she must had magicked so they wouldn't get dirty. The same silver birds were embroidered up her legs and onto her skirts. Looking closer Aurelius could see that the birds were actually moving, flying in their strange swirling pattern up her body. 

His eyes traveled past her clothes and up to her hair. as beautifully as she was dressed her hair was an absolute disaster. Bleached white and stringy, it stuck out every which way. It looked as though as though she'd had a fight with a very angry bird... and lost.

He couldn't stop staring.

"Ahem." She cleared her throat.

His eyes whipped back to her striking ones. Aurelius felt a blush creeping up his neck.

"Sorry." He said, looking down towards the floor.

"I'ta alright." She soothed. The she laughed, a soft floaty laugh like nothing Aurelius had ever heard before. It made him think of children in springtime.

"Now we've both had to apologize and we haven't even introduced ourselves."

At this Aurelius looked back at her and was caught once again by he gaze.

"My name is Siva Athame." She stated.

She didn't offer her hand, only tilted her head and smiled. It was like looking at the sun, she shone so brightly. It took Aurelius a moment to recover.

"I I'm Aurelius Dumbledore." He stammered quietly back.

"I know that alrady, you've caused quite the stir around here." Siva said with another of her blinding smiles.

"I have?" Asked Aurelius quietly. He didn't like the thought of people talking about him.

"Yes, your all Grindelwald would talk about when he left for Paris." bobbed Siva with excitement, making her hair sway. "though he was using your old name at the time." "He couldn't stop talking about how he had to get get "Credence to join our cause.""

"He really said that?" Aurelius asked incredulously.

Siva simply nodded. Aurelius couldn't hold her mesmerizing gaze any longer. He settled on focusing on her magical shoes.

"Did you do that?" She asked.

"Aurelius managed to flick his eyes up to hers for a moment, then went back to studying her shoes.

"Probably not..." He mumbled.

"I don't think you know what I mean, I meant THAT."

Aurelius looked up to where she was pointing. His eyes followed her long white clad arm to where her finger was gestured. She was pointing out the window. The very same window Aurelius had smashed a hole in days earlier the first time he had used his wand. Out the window flowed the cool breeze of the mountainscape, and in the midst of it was the scarred mountainside that Aurelius had blasted a hole in.

Aurelius nodded quietly and returned to staring at Siva's slippers.

"Amazing!" she said breathlessly. "That was your first time using magic?"

Aurelius nodded again. Looking up at Siva. She mouthed the word "amazing" to him.

He blushed again. How could she think that an act of pure destruction was amazing? Then Aurelius remembered the feeling of channeling his Obscurus through the wand, HIS wand. It had felt amazing, it had felt right and he knew; that it was only his beginning. 

Still breathless Siva looked up to Aurelius and caught his eye.

"I believe that's enough for today." "I simply wanted to introduce myself and welcome you myself into the fold." She nodded to him and turned.

Aurelius watched as Siva sashayed away as quietly as she had come.

It seemed that his choice to join Grindelwald seemed to be the right one.
