Summer of 1899(or how it should have gone)

Chapter 4

Gellert put his coat and shoes back on and waited for the redhead boy to do the same.

Albus turned to him with a concerned smile. "My brother isn't very friendly to new people I bring home, especially males, my sister is quite..... Abnormal, just a warning. Please do not raise your voice or say and/or do anything violent whilst around her alright?" Albus said quietly.

He then opened the door and led Gellert out into the pouring rain.

When they walked into the bland front garden he smelt something a bit nasty. "Oh, yeah, my brother has goats, though Batty did mention them earlier" Albus said unlocking the door.

A girl, was nowhere to he seen. The brother however, was sat on the couch, bottle feeding a kid. Gellert could see Albus' blood boiling. "ABERFORTH DUMBLEDORE!" Albus shouted angrily which made Gellert jump. The brother, named Aberforth, just looked at Albus and said, "thought you'd be out for a bit longer, also, it's just this baby Al, she needs to be nurtured not left out in the rain". Albus sighed and nodded, "Okay, but if that thing eats any furniture or MY CLOTHES again, I will make you sleep on the streets in the rain" Albus said then turned his attention to Gellert who stood awkwardly.

"Uhm, yes, Aberforth, this is Miss Bagshots nephew, Gellert" Albus said after clearing his throat.

"Batty has siblings?" The less attractive Dumbledore brother asked with an amused tone. "I'm surprised you got a girlfriend in Hogwarts" Albus then laughed, "Oh wait, didn't she leave you for Christopher Bakely?".

Gellert snickered, which made Albus look at him with a look in his eyes that Gellert had never seen anyone look at him with before. The look was gentle and full of an emotion Gellert couldn't place.

Gellert liked Albus more now, he was snarky and not so polite. Much ruder than he was when he was with his Aunt Bathilda.

"No.... I dumped her, obviously, I'm the man, I do the dumping" Aberforth said with a huff. A young girl Gellert assumed was Ariana walked into the room. "Yeah, and they smell Bubby" she said with a laugh, she then walked up to him and began petting the kid.

Albus let out a hearty laugh. Gellert felt his cheeks flush at the sound. Ariana froze when she saw Gellert. She raised her hand and pointed at him whilst looking at Albus with fear.

Albus nudged Gellert, "Talk to her, introduce yourself".

Gellert smiled at the girl and stayed put not to frighten her. "Hello, my name is Gellert, I live with the lady across the street" Gellert said, then he gasped causing the brothers to look at him with confusion, "Do you like flowers Miss Dumbledore?". Ariana nodded not sure where this discussion was going. "What are your favourite ones?" He asked her his palms itching to create something.

"Daisy, white rose, white lilies" She said quietly.

Gellerts palms started sprouting daisies, roses and lilies all linked into a crown.

Ariana gasped at the sight, Albus and Aberforth seemed intrigued as well. "These won't die until the person wearing them does, so you have some pretty indestructible flowers, Queen Ariana" Gellert said, walking over to her. "May I put it on your head?" He asked gently. She smiled and nodded. Gellert placed the flower crown gently upon her flaming red hair. Albus and Aberforth smiled, and simultaneously dropped to one knee.

"Our queen" Albus said. "We are but your humble servants" Aberforth added.

Gellert didn't understand what was going on, however he joined in the bow also. "Meine Königin" Gellert said which made Aberforth and Ariana look confused.

"Oh, right" Albus laughed, "Gellert is from Germany".

Ariana dropped to her knees which both her brothers became alert and waited for something to happen. She reached her hand out and touched Gellerts cheek, right next to his blue eye. "Are you blind in this eye?" She asked innocently. Gellert chuckled, "No dear, I have a condition, it makes my eyes two different colours" he answered, "Thank you for being so kind about it though". He lifted his hand and cupped her hand in his.

"Oh, uhm, right, food" Albus said rushing into the kitchen. "Gellert would you like something to drink?".

"Oh will you stay for supper? Bubba makes such fabulous food, of course so does Aberforth, but it's Albus' day to cook today" Ariana asked with such a childish happy smile on her face. Gellert couldn't help but think of his little sister Anastasia. "Of course, if I'm welcome too of course".

"Course you are, we have lots of food, Bubba always makes extra incase he needs some for work in the morning" Ariana said, "But he works in the pub, so he could just buy himself food there instead".

"I'm fine for a drink Albus, Auntie filled me up with her tea" Gellert chuckled seeing the eldest Dumbledore stood waiting for his answer. He then nodded and looked at his sister, "The problem with that little suggestion Ari, is that Bubba isn't made of money". Ariana flushed.

"You can sit on the couch, or the chair mind Gellert" Albus said smiling bringing his brother over a cup of tea and his sister a cup of milk from Aberforths goats.

Gellert sat on the singular chair by the wall. Ariana looked at him and started to sniffle. "Bubba and mummy's chair" she said cuddling into Aberforth who grunted.

"Bubba let him sit there Ari, be nice" Albus said sitting on the sofa next to Ariana.

Gellert spent the rest of the day with the Dumbledores. Albus was so kind, he made dinner for Gellert, made sure everyone was fed and had a drink. He even offered for Gellert to spend the night. However Aberforth didn't seem too fond of that idea so Gellert politely declined.

He was sat on his bed thinking of the boy with the flaming red hair and the sapphire blue eyes. He thought of the freckles that scattered across his face almost like the stars in the night sky. How his accent wasn't entirely English like his younger siblings. How soft his face looked. How he behaved with Ariana.

Ariana was right, his cooking was devine. His everything was devine.

"Oh merlin" Gellert muttered, "I've got a crush on the Dumbledore Boy"
