{ A Long Way Gone }
“Really.” The tone was dubious enough, even if Harry glanced at the sky unconsciously, wondering vaguely if one needed to reach a certain age to achieve such answers from an otherwise unfeeling atmosphere. “I suppose I’ll have to take your word for it then, professor. I find most of my answers tend to be a little closer to the ground.”

It took a phenomenal amount of willpower to abstain from making his true thoughts known in that moment and instead to focus so intently on innocuous recollections that even if the damnable man before him happened to be prying, the most he would manage to glean was that Severus was only just now realizing he’d forgotten to eat today and was vaguely irritated with himself for overlooking it.
It was, if nothing else, a good subterfuge for the fact he was all but mentally banging his head against a wall for agreeing to this walk around the grounds in the first place. If there was anything worse than Albus Dumbledore attempting to inflict a sense of optimism upon him, it was generally what the man had to ask of him in it’s wake.
Taking a moment to ensure no students were hiding beyond the rose bushes, as they so frequently tended to do this time of year, Severus managed a rather mild reply that he hoped illustrated his opinion of this tactic rather clearly. “I take it that today is about to become even less pleasant – perhaps you might enlighten me now Headmaster, so that I might have more time to swathe myself in hope for the remainder of it.”
“Something like that,” Gellert agreed, straightening a bit before flicking something toward the ocean using a motion not unlike that used for skipping rocks. “Mostly I’m just thinking,” He found it easier to think when he had something to do that kept his body in motion – some task so inane he could perform it on a sort of autopilot as he worked through whatever was bothering him.
He began heading toward Albus though – some part of him presuming that the other had need of him, or would not be here. He was still on autopilot though, so as he noted another one he stopped in what has otherwise been a fairly straightforward walk and went off to the left, picking something up off the sand and whipping it off toward the water – as it went, it canted just enough to reveal it’s distinctly star like shape before disappearing into the water with a splash that was inaudible over the crash of the ocean itself.

“Ya gotta be kiddin me Queenie!” Even though she wasn’t even in the office at the moment, there was no doubt in his mind who was responsible for this mess! There was only one dame in the office mad enough to set a monster like this loose at MACUSA – and it wasn’t even the first time this month!
“Alright rascal, you just stay right where ya are… “ Raising his wand, Elias held it steady, aimed dead center toward the furred breast of the tiny terrorist perched serenely atop of his desk. With a quick flick, he set a cage around it and took a slow, steadying breath.
It wasn’t so hard when they were sleeping.
Heading over, he circled his desk and its newly caged occupant warily, before checking out the door. Still no sign of Queenie. Thinning his lips, he gingerly reached his hand out – ever so lightly touching the animal’s fur – before losing his nerve and setting his hand atop the cage instead mere moments before the one responsible for it swanned into view.
“Queenie!” She didn’t seem to hear him, “’Ey! Queenie!” Once he had her attention, he made a vague shrugging motion, the cage in front of him pretty obvious. “You forget something in here? What I tell you about these cats in the office?”
This was a complex question, one that Gellert knew bore many implications beneath the seemingly innocent exterior. He considered matters a moment before lowering his hand and opting to illuminate something akin to the truth of matters – a piece of the whole answer, and enough to attest to the depth of his convictions.
“Preserving life means a very great deal to me Miss Goldstein – the only time I consider life invalid is when it has deliberately endangered the lives of literal thousands through reckless and arrogant action against the Statute such as displayed by those extremists which dare to call themselves my followers. Judging how I value life based on how quickly I will dismiss those who show no respect for human life is a fools standard. Magical or mundane, I cannot abide by reckless disregard.“
There was genuine disgust toward those who worked to expose magic in reckless and violent fashions, that not only put the Statute at risk but often cost lives in the process. If there was one thing Gellert despised, it was someone using the call for change as an excuse to be pigheaded and cruel in the hopes of starting a bloody war.
Leaning back, he folded his hands together idly and considered her thoughtfully, then, “I suppose then, you could say my ambitions are held to an impossible standard. I would find a means to protect everyone – and I believe that the abolishment of fear as a method of control is very much the key to that understanding.”
Now where is your keeper, I wonder? The unexpected sight of Newt Scamander dozing blissfully on a stoop with nary a care nor fear in the world ought to have stirred something more visceral than the idle curiosity that shifted lazily in his chest, but what bitterness that might have been borne had fallen away in the months following his liberation.
The man had done only what he had been indoctrinated to believe was right – and knowing now that he was not one of those contemptuous fools which dared use his name to spread their bile and violence certainly tempered any possibility of rage within him. Indeed – he suspected now that Newt had been sent to America – that perhaps Percival Graves had been a little too quick to rise through the ranks, a little too open in his casual displays of power. Enough so that rumors had reached the one man who could identify him, even after all these years.
Infuriatingly meddlesome bugger.
Striding over, Gellert slid off his coat and draped it with great care over the young man’s shoulders. He was a singularly rare kind of wizard – the sort who thought beyond the lines set out by the Ministry. His eyes falling to the case, Gellert recalled all too well the magnificent artistry beyond that innocuous exterior. Wizard space so vast and well crafted, it appeared for all within a series of worlds all in one space. Newt had dedicated himself to the defense of those who could not defend themselves – an interesting choice, if his suspicions on Albus were correct.
It did beg the question if perhaps they both were being manipulated somehow, though to what end Gellert found he could not fathom.
