Making Peace

Pairing: Gellert Grindelwald/Albus Dumbledore

Summary: Albus Dumbledore was given a chance of reincarnation by God. He accepted and was reborn as Albus Engel. After having repented and reflected in Nurmengard, Gellert Grindelwald was allowed to be reincarnated as Gellert Klug. What would happen if these two reincarnated soul mates met each other in Hogwarts when they turn 11?

-PROLOGUE-

Albus heaved a sigh as he lowered himself on his red armchair, contented to be sitting in his cozy home in Heaven. When he had died, the first person that he went to see was Ariana, to see her face, her sweet, angelic smile once more. He was happy beyond words that not only did she not blame him for her death but had enlightened him with how she had really died-from a depletion of her magical core during one of her particularly bad attacks. She had not been killed by Aberforth, Gellert or himself like they had always thought.

Gellert. Albus sighed with regret every time he thought about him. He regretted being the catalyst that had spurred Gellert even more on his conquest to rid the world of muggles. He regretted his actions that had engendered this turn of events. But most of all, he regretted having left the man.

Albus missed being in his arms as they slowly went to sleep every night. When he had felt down, he could always count on Gellert being there to comfort him. But in the end, in return to Gellert's loving actions towards him, Albus had sentenced him to a lifetime of Nurmengard.

Hearing his name, Albus snapped out of his thoughts and looked towards the messanger, an angel from the court of God. The angel held out a scroll with God's crest on it and as Albus opened the scroll, his eyes widened at its contents:

'Albus Dumbledore,

For having accomplished so many great and worthy deeds in your past life, I grant you a chance of reincarnation. To live life without the death of your sister hanging over you and a chance to reach your full potential without anyone judging you. To activate it, just say "I, Albus Dumbledore, accept the chance of reincarnation." You will be allowed to keep the memories of your past life should you choose to be reincarnated.'

Even without a signature at the end, Albus knew the message was from God. He thought about his life in Heaven. He had a peace of mind now that he wasn't so preoccupied with the issue of who had killed Ariana. He had only wished for Gellert or a relationship as fiery as it had been with him.

Making up his mind, Albus closed the scroll, smiled in thanks at the messenger, and said, "I, Albus Dumbledore, accept the chance of reincarnation."

With those words said, he vanished with a pop and Albus Dumbledore was no more.
