Chapter 25 ➛I Always Will

A/N: Guys! I'm freaking out! I'm running out of Grindelwald pictures!!!!!

Another several days passed, and with the day I was able to do more and more without running out of energy again or dying in pain.

Right now I was in Grindelwald's quarters and he was able to stop by more and more often and 'distract' me from the boredom of not being able to do anything.

He had brought me some books from the library, which were enjoyable for the first few mornings. But after some hours of reading, that also grew boring.

Most of the time I just slept because all the lying around and lack of physical exercise made me feel drowsy.

Nevertheless, there was one thing I was looking forward to.

Grindelwald told me he was organizing a ball for a number of invited followers to announce our relationship.

I was nervous because I didn't know how people would react. What if they'd only think I was distracting him from the Greater Good? Or that this shouldn't be happening because he isn't supposed to feel things?

But those were all small fears because I was actually excited to announce we were together. I loved him, so why would it be a bad thing for people to know?

''We'll make sure they know you're mine,'' he had whispered through a passionate kiss.

Now I was sitting in bed, staring at a wall, boredom almost achieving what Jonathan couldn't, which was killing me.

Owyn was taking a nap, so I wasn't able to start a conversation with him, and I started to grow lonely again.

I desperately hoped it was almost lunchtime because that meant Gellert would come and it would be time for our daily stroll.

I was surprised I wasn't feeling afraid after I almost got killed. I expected to be at least a little cautious, but not even that. I had never felt safer than I was doing now.

I heard familiar footsteps in the corridor and a small smile formed on my lips as the door slowly creaked open.

''Ready for the daily torture?'' he asked, stepping inside, but stopping when he noticed my eyes were closed.

I acted as if I was asleep. Curious how he'd wake me, I snored softly.

He smiled and silently lay down beside me. He placed his hand on my cheek and gently kissed my lips.

I refused to open my eyes and faked another snore and tried not to react to his heavenly kiss.

He started placing soft kisses on my neck and up to my ear, then he whispered, ''I know you're awake, (Y/N).'' before he placed one last kiss on my cheek.

I smiled and opened my eyes as he leaned on his elbow and watched me amused.

''How did you know?'' I asked raising my eyebrows surprised.

He shrugged. ''Darling, you don't snore,'' he said grinning. ''Maybe next time you should not so desperately want to look like you're asleep.''

He kissed me one last time and got off the bed as he walked to my side and helped me get out. I needed to get dressed but I couldn't do it on my own so he used magic to change my clothes.

''Ready?'' he asked holding out his arm. I grinned and took it.

As we were walking, I enjoyed the cold air brush against my face and his fingers intertwined with mine.

I leaned against his shoulder and watched a deer jump away behind the trees.

It wouldn't take much longer before I was strong enough to get back to my everyday life. I just hoped I wouldn't have to wait any longer before I could get the Muggle Queenie's in love with because it felt like we were running out of time.

''What's on your mind?'' he asked softly, as the snow crunched under our feet.

I shrugged. ''Nothing.''

I wasn't sure if I wanted to discuss all of it right now, not while we were having a precious little moment together.

He decided to accept that I didn't want to talk about it so he kept silent.

The rest of our walk was quiet but comfortable. I enjoyed his presence while he enjoyed mine, like the perfect couple. But, unfortunately, all good things come to an end and we had to return to the castle, which meant, I had to return to bed.

I knew it was for my own good, but I wanted to do so many things I wasn't able to do. Then, Grindelwald would tell me to be patient and wait.

''(Y/N),'' he said softly, halting under a bare tree and looking into my eyes with a sympathetic look.

''I know you're struggling with everything that's going on right now, especially Tom Riddle.''

I flinched at the name. It reminded me of my nightmare I had one of the first nights in Nurmengard.

He seemed to notice and so he continued, ''This is what I mean. It's a sensitive topic.''

I was about to argue, but he quickly cut me off, ''Which isn't a bad thing, considering everything you've been through. But, I don't want you to go alone to that orphanage.''

''Then who's coming with me?'' I asked curiously. He watched me a little uncertain, though I also noticed the confidence in his eyes which already betrayed what he was about to say.

''I will go with you to the orphanage and wait for you to return from the future, with Tom. I do not trust anyone to go with you but myself. Also, we're going to keep this quiet, we will tell no one about when or why we're leaving or that we're leaving in the first place. I don't want to take any unnecessary risks.''

I looked at him perplexed.

''But sir, people will notice you're gone, won't they? You're too important to just leave.''

''They won't notice I will be gone, because no one will bother me. No one ever comes to me when they don't have a task or if there isn't some emergency that they can't solve on their own.''

He did have good arguments, but I was still a little unsure. What if people somehow recognized him on the streets? I couldn't lose him to those Ministry hypocrites.

''There is nothing you can do to change my mind. So you can either accept it or keep thinking it will go wrong. Your choice. But I recommend you to accept it because that'll be a whole lot easier.'' He smiled.

I sighed and glanced up at him as he took my hand. ''I promise, everything is going to be alright in the end.''

He embraced me carefully, to make sure it wouldn't hurt me.

''When will we be going?'' I asked a little nervously. If I had to choose, I would still rather not go, but I had to. What else would I be able to do for the Greater Good?

''As soon as you feel good enough to go out there.''

I sighed.

He smiled softly and gently caressed my cool and smooth cheek. ''Do you trust me?'' he asked, gazing into my eyes and locking our stares.

I nodded softly. ''Of course I do.''

''Then there is nothing to worry about, sweetheart,'' he said, leaning closer and softly pecking my lips.

I couldn't help but smile a little as he retreated and smiled himself. ''Let's get you back to bed.''

Once I had returned under the warm covers, I was getting ready for some dull hours of boredom and was surprised when Grindelwald didn't leave the room. Instead, he just closed the door and went to lie down next to me.

I was about to say something but he cut me off, ''Don't worry. The Greater Good won't crumble if I take off just half a day.''

It was nice that he would do that for me. The Greater Good was his life's work, so this really meant something.

He lay back down like before, with his head on my lap.

First, we just sat in comfortable silence, but I couldn't help but wonder if he had completely forgotten about Jonathan, or the exact opposite and was out for revenge.

''Sir,'' I started softly. He hummed and looked at me. ''Are you going to take revenge on Jonathan Brook?'' I blurted out.

For a few seconds, his gaze was fixed on me and he only blinked, his expression unreadable. And for a second I hated myself for asking about it.

Then he heaved a sigh and started playing with the hem of my dress. ''I don't think so. I mean, of course, I'll blast him to pieces whenever I'll run into him, but I will not go after him like some obsessed psychopath. Unless you want to, then I will hunt him down until I can hurt him. And I'll hurt him good when I do.''

I smiled and shook my head. ''I think I'm good.''

He slowly got up and sat beside me.

''I'm curious. Why'd you ask?''

I shrugged, not really knowing the answer. ''I suppose I was just wondering what kind of man you are.''

That sounded stupid, and I regretted saying it right when the words had left my mouth. But it had been the first thing that came to my mind

He smirked up at me and sniggered. ''And? Have I satisfied the requirements of the 'right kind'?''

I faked a thoughtful look and nodded. ''I think you did. Now, you can come and collect your prize,'' I said.

I grinned at his excited look.

''Oh, what did I win?'' he asked in wonder. ''You'll find out soon enough,'' I said sniggering.

He pulled a sad face. ''But what if I want to collect it now?'' he asked pouting. ''It depends on what prize our good sir will choose,'' I said looking at him with a broad smirk.

He tapped his chin thoughtfully, and said, ''I think I've got something in mind.'' And even before I could reply, his lips were on mine.

Our lips moved in sync and I couldn't help but smile at the way he was caressing my cheek and leaving a soft trail of kisses on my skin. ''And what exactly is the prize you have in mind?'' I asked trying to ignore him and his divine kisses on my neck and shoulder.

''I choose the most beautiful woman in this universe,'' he said glancing at me and capturing my lips, just to make sure I got all the attention I needed.
