The fascination, the 'step apart'ness of Albus's experiences here, is palpable. He can't quite decipher what's happening to him at the same time that his mind is always prodding at it, even as Gellert takes him apart. And the Unforgiveable theme is all too poignant, given where these two end up.
You can see how Albus would be taken by Gellert, and how much a confident young man like Gellert would enjoy the power over such a powerful young wizard. It all makes sense, and is beautifully described.
