A/n: yes the title is a Panic! At The Disco reference.
*Credence*
Credence sat on his four poster in Nurmengard, leaning over with his elbows on his knees.
His room in the castle was the third biggest. The biggest went to Grindelwald himself and second to Vinda.
He didn't even notice tears trickling down his face until Grindelwald called for him.
"Aurelius, could you come here please?"
He wiped away the tears quickly and straightened himself up. Taking a deep breath, he walked out of his room.
"Y-yes sir?" He said, accidentally stuttering. Grindelwald smiled at the boy, handing him a letter.
"Don't ask any questions." He said, all of a sudden serious. "Just take the letter, go into your room and read it." He said, lightly pushing the boy in the direction towards his room.
He sat on his bed and stared at it. The only thing written on the front was
Credence Barebone
Unknown location
Private and confidential
He recognised that hand writing anywhere. He excitedly ripped the letter open and laid down on his bed.
Credence,
Hi. How are you doing? I hope you're well.
Have you found out your identity yet? If so, I'd love to know.
Where I am is very boring without you, but I've made friends with some of the people here. I can't reveal too much about our location, I'm sorry. It's purely for safety reasons, as I'm sure you can't reveal yours.
I miss you alot. I don't think a day has gone by I haven't thought about you. Thought about the times you were there for me at the circus, or our time in the streets of Paris. Or the day you left...
I don't blame you. I understand why you did it. In fact, I admire you for it. You felt so passionately about finding your identity and I love that for you, I just wish you were here with me.
Please respond when you can, I'd love to hear from you.
Find enclosed the address to send it to.
Love,
Nagini xx
His face lit up. He sprung out of his bed and grabbed a quill and parchment.
All his memories of them both came flooding back.
Nagini,
It's amazing to hear from you. I miss you endlessly.
My identity is Aurelius Dumbledore, Albus Dumbledore's youngest sibling. I know.
How's Tina? And Newt? Oh, and say hi to Jacob for Queenie, she's missing him, I can tell.
There are a lot of people here, but most of them don't actually live here, just us who have no where else.
I think Grindelwald can tell I miss you. I look back on our memories fondly. I have a house for them in my head and I go in there whenever I'm missing you.
I hope you can write back soon,
Credence xx
And with that he wrote the given address on an envelope, sealed it with wax, gave it to an owl and sent it away.
*Nagini*
"I hope you can write back soon,
Credence. Kiss kiss." Tina read aloud to Nagini. Those two had become close during their time living at Hogwarts and Nagini learned to trust her.
She noticed Tina wipe a tear away and did the same. They both missed him so much.
Tina sniffed and handed her back the letter.
"Well, that was emotional." The auror chuckled, earning a smile from the malidictus.
"I miss him." Nagini admitted and Tina nodded.
"Me too."
