I was confused and needed some company. I went to Grindelwald's quarters and sat down on the ground next to Owyn.

''Hey,'' I said softly. I gently scratched his head. This was the first time I saw him since Grindelwald had informed me that Owyn was the Libra.

He was watching me intently, his amber eyes staring right through mine. Hi, (Y/N), a voice in my head said. I spun around, searching the room quizzically, before looking back down at Owyn.

I sighed tiredly. ''Now I'm starting to hear things!''

Owyn was still watching me attentively. ''You'll never leave me, no matter what. Right?'' I said staring back into his amber eyes.

It might sound weird, but I had always felt like Owyn really understood what I said. Which was, of course, ridiculous.

He blinked sharply. ''Isn't my life pathetic?'' I asked leaning back against the bed. ''I mean, I have no friends, I talk to an owl, I destroy everything and I'm too gullible.''

I'm here for you, the voice in my head said. I spun around again, my eyes roving the room. I often had troubled thoughts, but this was different. It felt like someone else had entered my mind, I could sense the presence, much alike when Queenie tried to enter my mind and read my thoughts.

''What the hell is going on?'' I whispered. Don't worry everything's fine. It sounded amused, but I couldn't feel the amusement myself. I felt the presence slowly fade away and I turned back to the snowy owl, settled on his cushion, watching me calmly.

''You- you can talk?'' I asked flabbergasted. To my annoyance, I didn't receive any reply and the presence didn't return.

I heard the door creak and heavy footsteps entering the room. I didn't look around, but I could feel his gaze on me. ''Are you alright? You look like you've just seen a ghost,'' Grindelwald said approaching me.

''I'm fine,'' I said slowly, my voice faltering. I had several things on my mind that I was supposed to tell him, but right now I didn't feel capable of having a long conversation. I was scared to death when I started hearing voices in my head. It was really creepy.

When the silence grew awkward, I decided I didn't have much choice but to just talk to him. I turned around and faced him. ''Sir, I need to tell you something. Several things, actually,'' I muttered sitting down on the bed.

''Okay,'' he said sitting down next to me. We sat close to each other, not that I minded, but it did feel like I was interrupting his personal space.

''It's about Queenie's sister, Tina, sir,'' I started. ''Queenie received a quite alarming, new letter.''

I told him about Tina's threat, that they would take Queenie back if she wouldn't return freely.

We held silent for some time. ''When did you hear about this?'' he asked. ''A couple of hours ago,'' I replied trying to read his expression.

''Hm. I wonder why she hasn't come to me herself to tell me this,'' he said. ''Do you know anything about it?'' he asked turning to me and raising his eyebrows. I stared at him. I did. But I couldn't tell him? Or could I?

I slowly shook my head. ''I don't, sir.'' It felt terrible to lie to him, but I couldn't tell him more than this. It might completely ruin the friendship between Queenie and me. Not that it wasn't already.

''Maybe she's been too busy to come to you?'' I proposed.

''Sir,'' I added slowly.

I was staring into his eyes. They were so mesmerizing. So deep and mysterious. How could I be lying to him like this? Was this really the right choice?

Suddenly the memories of our kiss bubbled up into my mind. That had been the best moment of my life. Maybe I needed to do it again? No! I had to do it again. But I couldn't. He doesn't want me to. I can't just kiss him again, can I?

The presence of another mind entered mine again. Why are you doubting?

I wasn't sure how to reply, I wasn't even sure how he'd read my mind in the first place. He seemed to be able to get through my occlumency shields like they're nothing!

Don't worry. Just thinking will do the trick. Now, before you're going to bombard me with questions, I need you to get out of this situation without screwing up every chance you have with him. Right now is not the moment to drown in romantic feelings. It took me so long to create a connection between our minds so I could communicate with you, so I would like to communicate with you, he said quite annoyed.

Usually, if someone would've talked to me like that I would've punched them in the face, but the ability to communicate with Owyn was too overwhelming, plus I would never punch him in the face.

''Sir, how long will it take before we can move, Owyn?'' That doesn't matter. I can communicate with you over long distances, don't worry.

How do you know I was worried about that?

Mind reading, he replied flatly.

''In a few days time it will be fine,'' Grindelwald said. I nodded gratefully. ''Thank you for your kindness, sir. I have to go.'' I stood up and walked through the door. ''(Y/N),'' he called. I stuck my head back through the gap of the door.

''Is there something you'd like to tell me?'' he asked raising an eyebrow. I shook my head. ''No, sir. Nothing.''

I was pacing down the corridors while having a mental conversation with Owyn.

Are you really the Libra?

I am an ancient creature that has lived many centuries, and all those centuries I've waited for this moment. The moment where we become like one. You finally found out about me, you have no idea how long it took you to figure this out. If it wasn't for our Albert Einstein you would still be as ignorant as always.

I didn't know who Albert Einstein was, but Owyn was being a little arrogant.

You know I hear that, don't you?

My cheeks lit up and I quickly thought an apology. But, who's Albert Einstein?

He's a muggle scientist with hair that stands upright, like your boyfriend's.

He's not my boyfriend! I said my cheeks glowing again. A picture of a middle-aged man, with white hair that stood upright in all directions, popped into my mind.

''Wow, what just happened?'' I asked leaning against a wall, my normal vision slowly recovering. That was me, placing an image in your mind.

That's not possible. That can't be possible. I've studied Occlumency and Legilimency for many years, but this isn't possible.

I am not normal, now am I? Well, I have to go. Your boyfriend is coddling me.

''He's not my boyfriend!'' I yelled. I knew just thinking it would be enough, but it felt better to say it out loud than to think it; it felt weird to converse with someone without actually talking.

I saw Queenie at the end of the corridor, watching me perplexed. She turned around and stalked away with an angry expression.

I sighed audibly. My life's a mess.

Yeah, pretty much. I'm here to make your day! Don't worry, everything is going to be fine in the end. I promise, he reassured me.

Easier said than done; you can change into a dragon!

Who knows. Maybe I can, maybe I can't. But I cannot tell you more than I have already done. Now rest, I can sense your weariness.

No, wait. I have more questions!

But he had already left.

I sighed frustrated and entered my room.

(Y/N)?

(Y/N), are you there?

(Y/N)!

I woke up and looked around startled.

''What do you want?'' I said aloud when I realized it was Owyn talking to me through my mind.

I just thought it was proper to warn you that mister boyfriend is coming.

I rolled my eyes and decided to ignore his comment.

The sun was blocked by the closed curtains, which let only several rays of dim sunlight enter.

I stretched and got up. I tried to get dressed as fast as possible, but it wasn't fast enough because Grindelwald knocked on the door when I was half-done.

When I was finished I opened the door and found him leaning against the wall. ''Good morning, (Y/N),'' he said standing up and bowing his head slightly. I tried to hide my giggle.

''What are you doing here so early in the morning?'' I asked nonchalantly. ''I'm going to the amphitheater where the rally will take place tomorrow, to make sure everything is in order and ready. We're expecting a large audience,'' he explained.

He stepped closer and leaned against the doorpost. ''I thought maybe you'd like to join me?''

Though his face looked casual, I noticed a glimmer in his eyes that I had not yet seen before.

''I might,'' I said considerably. ''If my accompanier makes it worth it.''

He raised his eyebrows and grinned. ''Then I suppose we have to gamble on that one,'' he said holding out his arm to me.

I grinned back and took it.
