Wonderful, just wonderful.
I love how you make it seem so natural and understandable the way Albus gets caught up in Gellert and the way he talks (love the detail about how he pronounces the words and how he's calling the European cities by their own names instead of the English ones) and what he's taking about.
This is such an interesting look into these characters and what may have happened between them. Looking forward to the next one (although I suspect it's all going downhill from here, heh).
