Albus is sitting in his study, unable to focus on his work. He was hoping to catch a glimpse of the mysterious man in the graveyard, but the man hasn’t shown up that day and it is all Albus can think about when he hears a knock on his door.
He tries to ignore it, but the visitor knocks again, a bit more impatiently.
Annoyed and not wanting to be disturbed, Albus opens the door, but any word of refusal instantly dies on his tongue as he sees who the insistent visitor is.
Albus: *tries to compose himself*
Gellert: -Here I am.
Gellert: *eyes light up in recognition*
Gellert: Albus. May I call you Albus? I’ve recently read your latest article in Transfiguration Today-
Albus: *is surprised that anyone actually read his article*
Gellert: *launches into a one sided discussion of the article at hand*
Gellert: *realizes that Albus is still looking slightly confused and far from sharing his excitement*
Albus: I’m just surprised that someone found it interesting…
Gellert: The didn’t? Well…
Gellert: *fastens his eyes on Albus for a second too long*
Albus: *fidgets nervously under Gellert’s gaze*

“Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall bent forward over the bundle of
blankets. Inside, just visible, was a baby boy, fast asleep. Under a
tuft of jet-black hair over his forehead they could see a curiously
shaped cut, like a bolt of lightning.”
Happy birthday, Harry James Potter! (b. 31 July, 1980)
