See you again
“It’s a pleasure to see you again, Newton,” Grindelwald murmurs before kissing the magizoologist’s hand.
Newt freezes, completely bewildered, cheeks turning bright red.
Vinda is trying to fight the need of pulling her own hair out.
“We’re in the middle of a fight, my Lord. And he’s on the opposite side!”
Gellert waved off his trusted acolytes warning. He knew his followers would properly distract Newton’s brother and his other friends. Especially that fucking auror that spent way too much time with his magizoologist for Gellert to be comfortable with.
If he knew it wouldn’t make Newton sad, he would have killed Graves by now. But no, he’d sworn he would never do anything that could upset the redhead- well, within reason.
He wouldn’t harm a creature, for example- but he’d still remove aurors from his way. They tended to not appreciate his darling, anyway.
“Did you enjoy my gift, liebling?”
The Dark Lord adored the blush on Newton’s pale face, going down to being hidden under that trademark blue coat.
“It was- um, interesting.” Most of the gifts Gellert gave Newton were for his creatures or sometimes creatures his followers rescued. Most of them.
But sometimes, he gave Newt toys. Special and expensive toys that he enjoyed imaging Newt using. The last one was a blue plug- blue like Newt’s coat, decorated with a diamond on the end.
“Soon enough, darling I promise you’ll get the real thing.”
Newt bit his lip, looking both excited and terrified at the prospect. Ah, his darling was so unused to these things- especially if the older Scamander’s reaction was anything to go by.
“Get away from my brother!” The less interesting Scamander yelled, cursing and throwing anyone who got in his way.
The dark Lord pressed a final kiss to Newt’s hand, his mix-matched eyes meeting Newt’s bright blues.
“Tschüss, mein Liebling. Until next time.”
