Characters: Albus Dumbledore + Gellert Grindelwald
Theme: Blink

It's measured, a drop of both eyelids at once, and then your bright blue eyes look at me as if we might have some intrinsic connection.

But if you understood my dreams – wanted what I wanted and needed what I needed, then you wouldn't be you. You ought to want the opposite: I crave attention and I want eternity and I need you. I hope that you crave anonymity and want finality and (especially) need me.

Every time you blink, I'm terrified that when you open your eyes, you'll really see me – you'll see that I'm poised for destruction.
