When Albus returned to Hogwarts, he ran into Old Grindelwald and his party by chance outside the school gate.

Old Grindelwald had a calm demeanor and a straight robe. There should be no "burning accident" again.He waved his hand, and the young Grindelwalds boarded the Thestral carriage. "An hour," he said softly, walking slowly towards the red-haired young wizard, "without you, Gellert is a little...well, anxious."

Albus smiled.Old Grindelwald looked at him, then looked at the cat in his arms, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "People say that Gellert's cat is as perverse as himself, I didn't expect you to be able to tame this thing. "

"Antonio is just a little shy, I think. If you've read Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, you'll understand." The cat burying his head in Albus's arms, wagging his tail irritably.Old Grindelwald hesitated for a moment, as if he had something to say, but in the end he just shook his head, "See you in Berlin." After speaking, he turned around and walked slowly towards the carriage.

"You're 37 minutes late," Gellert complained loudly. "You promised me you'd be back in half an hour."

Antonio trembled with excitement at the sight of his master.Albus let go of his arm, and it hopped lightly onto the bed, whining and rubbing its head against Gellert's hand. "It's really sticky." Gellert kept his face stern, but kept scratching Maolizi's furry chin with his hands. "It's helpless," Albus said, sitting in the armchair. "Antonio was rubbing around your coat when I came out of your fireplace - you shouldn't have thrown it on the sofa."

"I came to the UK on a business trip ... it was a last minute decision, so I was in a hurry. I usually clean up very well. If you go to my bedroom, you will see how smooth I make the sheets." Gellert said .Antonio found Fox and curiously stretched out his claws to touch the phoenix's abundant tail feathers.Immediately, the phoenix let out a dissatisfied cry, and flapped its wings and flew to Albus' knee.Antonio followed suit and wanted to jump over, but was held down by Gellert, "Be obedient—"

"Abernathy says Antonio hasn't eaten or drank for days." Albus picked up a cranberry biscuit, "Cats are loyal animals..."

"It will be loyal to you." Gellert laughed, lowering his head and tapping the moving cat's head, "Isn't it, Antonio?"

Maolizi barked a few times, obviously very interested in Fenghuang.Albus hugged the phoenix, and after a while, he told the story of meeting old Grindelwald at the school gate.A sneer immediately came to Gellert's mouth, "See you in Berlin? Nice idea, I already told him that I want to make my own family tree. What do you think of dark blue velvet?" Without waiting for Albus's opinion, he He rejected the idea, "It's still crimson! With gold thread, your favorite Gryffindor-style color scheme." He glanced at Albus's robe and hesitated, "Or... purple? Stars You don't have to, okay, dear—"

"Gellert," Albus said quickly, "well, I want to say... I want to ask..."

"Why did I burn the tapestry?" Gellert raised his face. "The reason couldn't be simpler. The old man—although he's not as old as me—woke up, and his most useless son and my fiancée— - pure verbal agreement, believe me - eloped suddenly. He was furious, you should have seen him at the time... ridiculous. I told him not to look, I will not swear to that princess lady .He threatened me with the family tree. I hate being threatened, so I preempted—”

"Eloped?" Albus was surprised. "Your cousin and your fiancée?"

"It's just a verbal agreement, she is not my fiancée. I only have you in my heart, Albus." Gellert confessed abruptly, "I don't want anyone but you. Either I don't marry, or I marry you. To be honest, Albus, my dear, I admit that I have problems before... I have admitted many times. Since Merlin didn't take my life back, and you didn't sentence me to death, then I won't let you go , unless I die."

Fox called a few times. "Don't say that word, thank you," said Albus, twisting his shoulders unnaturally. "Where is that princess now?"

"It's a long story. My cousin wasn't even a wizard at all, he was a half-squib. My uncle gave him up as a disgrace. Those fine castles and fertile estates Not his part. But the cousin is very strong, he barely survived a few years in Durmstrang, and then went to university for Muggles, philosophy, I remember, or literature. Coincidentally, Miss Princess My favorite thing to read is Muggle novels. They fell in love at first sight, and I was having a headache how to divorce gracefully. I was so desperate before Christmas, Albus, that I agreed to the marriage contract in a flash... Are you angry? "

"No." Albus ate the biscuit, his tone somewhat insincere, "I understand your thoughts."

"You British people are angry when you say that." Gellert patted Maolizi's belly, and Antonio slumped on his lap, snoring comfortably, "Fortunately, that princess is not interested in me either— — not everyone in the world loves me as much as you do, Albus."

Albus muttered, sounding like he was in denial, "Then...they eloped?"

"I sponsored a small sum of money." Gellert shrugged, but accidentally touched the wound, and grinned.Albus hurriedly stepped forward to check the bandages, but his feet tilted and he almost fell on Gellert.

"Think of your bones," he frowned, "Gellert—"

"I just want to remind you, don't forget the middle." The patient didn't care, "Kiss me."

The kiss was coming sooner or later - Albus studied Gellert's face so close, he could clearly distinguish every stubble on the blond youth's chin.his eyebrows.His eyes, the bridge of his nose, his lips... "Middle." He lowered his eyes, "Okay, middle."

The lips touched and parted immediately.Geller's strange eyes were as bright as May sunshine, and he was looking forward to the next kiss.

"That's it for today." Albus broke free from the arms around his waist, "Well, I think, I can't remember the steps..."

"You need more practice, and so do I," Gellert said disappointedly. "Can't you do it again? For my shoulder's sake."

Albus hesitated, put his hands on Gellert's shoulders to prevent him from hurting himself again, and then made up his mind, "Let's do it again, the last time today."
