Summer, 1899 – Godric’s Hollow. In a Muggle village where gossip twists truth, whispers now center on a pure-blood witch’s arrival. Gellert Grindelwald despises the adoration. Expelled from Durmstrang for his brilliance, he finds her reputation insufferable. Over tea, his aunt Bathilda announces, “She’ll be joining us this evening.” Gellert nearly chokes, his heterochromatic eyes snapping to her in disbelief. “You invited her? Here? Tonight?” His tone is flat, irritation simmering. Bathilda smiles, “Naturally, dear. I expect you to be on your best behavior.” Gellert feels a headache coming.
