Gellert was okay with loving Albus, if it didn't mean giving up on his cause.

Albus was okay with giving up on his cause, if it didn't mean loving Gellert.

Albus actually never loved lemon cake or lemon candies that much. He liked the taste. They were fine. But he was never that obsessed over them as Gellert thought he was.

But he always got so happy when Gellert brought him some. Not because it was lemon candy, but because Gellert brought it. He felt like the candies tasted better when Gellert was the one that got it for him.

So in time, he had grown to like lemon sweets more. He loved how something sour can be yet so sweet. He also loved how Gellert always had some for him. Just because he thought Albus loved them so much.

After that summer, lemon candies never tasted that good. But Albus started to like them more. Because then, he realised what he loved about the candies.

They tasted like loving Gellert.

Sour, yet sweet.

And eating them was just like remembering all the things they did together that summer. All his memories with Gellert.

Sweet,

And yet sour.

Gellert always bought some lemon candy or lemon cake for Albus. Because he loved seeing how happy and excited Albus got with such a small thing.

But actually, Gellert hated lemon candies. Or pretty much any sweet that had lemons in it. For him, something should either be sweet or sour. Never both.

Albus loved lemon candies, and Gellert loved everything that made Albus happy.

He also loved tasting them from Albus' lips

So, even though I don't agree with Albus' ideas and decisions most of the time.

I don't think I have ever agreed with anyone about anything more...

I mean-

Like WHY?!?

So like this scene is absolutely amazing since it tells about their past. The vision Albus is talking, Gellert probably had it in the summer of 1899. And shared it with Albus imidiatly. He must have got really worried about losing Albus since it also could have been Ariana. And after all those years when another obscurial came out. He must have got worried again. And like, what if Gellert didn't want to kill Credence but instead he took him to his side to take an eye on him. So that he could prevent an obscurial killing Albus.

AND even more importantly no matter after all those years Albus still didn't hesitate to think that Gellert would go after something that might kill or harm Albus in any way.

Like. The scene is so fucking perfect.

WHY DID YOU CUT IT?

After Gellert and Albus broke up, Gellert knew he had to move on, because Albus was the only person he had, and after losing him, all he had left was the greater good, so he knew he had to focus on that.

But Gellert also knew that he was never gonna be able to forget Albus, forget that summer, he knew it was impossible for him to stop loving Albus.

He also knew that he had to. He had to if he wanted to focus on the greater good. So he had to bury his feelings, deep down to his heart.

But he never actually moved on, he never left Albus behind, he knew that he needed Albus. So when he created a symbol. He wanted it to have Albus in it too.

And he wanted it to be something that Albus would understand. Since Albus used the deathly hallows symbol as his names initial, Gellert decided to use it that way, so he added the symbol right in the middle of his name.

Gellert never moved on, he never stopped loving Albus. And he never stopped hoping that one day, Albus will return to his side.

So he buried Albus' name into his symbol just like he buried his feelings deep down into his heart

Albus was always a part of Gellert's plans. He was always right in the middle of it.

And Gellert always carried Albus in the middle of his symbol, in the middle of his plans,

And right in the middle of his heart...
