dragon and boy

Obviously two people who have nothing to do with each other, why does Grindelwald feel so hostile towards Newt?

This can't help but remind Albus of the student he likes, who was sentenced to death by the other party when he met Grindelwald for the first time.

More and more evidence points to the conjecture deep in Albus's heart. Albus's expression is a little dignified, and he stands where he is, without replying to Newt.

"...sir?" Newt asked tentatively. "May I leave?"

"Well, I didn't see you." Albus came back to his senses and said, "Your cat friend has run away."

Looking at the back of Newt leaving in a hurry, Albus was a little dumbfounded. If his guess was correct, he thought he could probably understand why Grindelwald held so much hostility towards Newt.

He thought of every word Grindelwald said to him on the way, and it was undeniable that he was really moved, after all, this was the face that had haunted his dreams for more than a hundred years.

After wandering around the Hogwarts castle for a while, Albus never thought he would meet Theseus again, who looked flustered until the two met eyes, Theseus Only then did he stop.

"What happened?" Albus asked.

Theseus pursed his lips and struggled for a while, and finally said with gestures: "The Scamander family lost a black cat, which is about this long and a little fat."

"Sorry I didn't see it." Albus said, and then pointed to a place opposite to the direction Newt left. "Maybe you can go there to look for it. I just heard the cat meowing there."

"Thank you."

The voice of Theseus leaving was as hurried as Newt's, but the other party probably couldn't find his brother.As long as there is no deviation, under normal circumstances, Newt will often make some jaw-dropping moves. Although these actions seem unusual, they are reasonable after careful consideration.

Since Theseus left, Albus hadn't seen a single person in the castle. Although the building was the same, it was always a little less angry.

Without those students who came and went, Hogwarts would no longer be Hogwarts. Thinking of this, Albus couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic for the past.

He knocked on the door of Grindelwald's room on time before the meal, and Grindelwald changed into a standard royal dress, looking like a groom-to-be who was about to attend a wedding.

This attire made Albus a little dazzled. He hadn't thought about his future with Grindelwald before. In one scene, Grindelwald in a tuxedo stretched out a hand to him, and then in Merlin's Under the witness, he would recite the proverbs about love in the Bible.

"Do I need to change?" Albus asked.

"No, you're fine like this."

Their dinner hall is located in the former auditorium, but the long tables belonging to the four branches disappeared. In the center of the hall is a long dining table that can only seat more than a dozen people, which makes the whole hall look a bit awkward. empty.

There are four candles burning in the four corners of the dinner hall. Judging from their length and brightness, they should have just been lit.

"Take a seat." Dippet smiled and beckoned the other three to sit down. "Enjoy this dinner."

Dippet took the main seat, Albus and Grindelwald sat on one side, and Olim sat on the other.Although Albus did not receive an orthodox royal education, he was the last one to pick up a knife and fork among the four present, and his behavior was generous and decent, not at all like a "wild man" who had never been out of the Forbidden Forest.

At Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, there are legends of Albus being a "wild man".According to these legends, although he has a human appearance, he cannot speak human words. When he eats, he will squat on the table and eat with his hands. When he sleeps, he will wrap his body with dragon wings and curl up in the Inside the woods.

"I still can't believe it." Dippet looked at Albus and said, "It's incredible that you are a half-dragon."

Albus swallowed the food in his mouth, put the knife and fork behind the plate, and replied jokingly: "Actually, I am also surprised by this matter."

"Surprised you're a half-dragon?" Dippet pressed. "Or is it that Gellert chose you?"

"All."

Grindelwald slowly sent the food to his mouth. He did not join their conversation, but he always existed in their topic.

"Regarding what happened in Hogwarts in the past few months, Guy..."

At this time, Olim wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin and opened her mouth, but before she could finish speaking, Dippet suddenly interrupted: "Queen Olim, we will not talk about business today."

Sure enough, Olim didn't continue talking, she picked up the knife and fork again, and praised before eating: "The steak tastes great."

While speaking, Olim lowered her eyes, and the earrings hanging on her earlobes collided with each other because of her lowered head, making a crisp sound.Albus looked up at the sound and saw the necklace Orim was wearing around his neck.

"Beauxbaton has always only had the queen, and the necklace has almost the same meaning as Durmstrang's ring." Olim looked up and said, "The necklace has almost the same meaning as Durmstrang's ring."

Albus didn't answer, he glanced at Grindelwald's right hand out of the corner of his eye, and the ring was quietly wrapped around his index finger.

In the middle of the dinner, Dippet suddenly called the attendant and said a few words in a low voice.I thought the other party was going to do something wrong, until three or four soldiers came in together carrying a huge object that was covered by a curtain at the same time, and Albus guessed that Doddie Pater probably wanted to show them something.

"What is this?" Olim asked, putting down his knife and fork.

"Treasures of Hogwarts." Dippet stood up, walked to the thing, and covered the gray-black curtain with his hands.As the curtain was slowly pulled down, the objects inside revealed their original appearance.

It was a round mirror, inlaid with gold all around, and with a beautifully carved border.It was taller than anyone here, almost touching the ceiling.Two bird-claw-like brackets firmly support the mirror. As a conspicuous part of the mirror, it successfully attracts everyone's attention.

"Mirror?" Olim asked.

"Yes, but it is a special mirror." Dippet turned to face the three, "Through it, you can see your future."

Compared with Olim's eyes flashing a strange color, Albus and Grindelwald seemed a little calm.

This is the Mirror of Erised, Albus assured.

"Is it really so miraculous?" Olim stood up suddenly, and she walked slowly towards the mirror, stopping three feet away from it.

Dippet reached out his hand to signal Olim to step forward, and when the other party looked into the mirror, he stepped back gracefully.

Olim didn't believe it at first, but after she saw the picture gradually becoming clearer in the mirror, a look of surprise appeared on her face instantly.

"This is simply amazing." Olim sighed, and couldn't help smiling, "It can really see its own future."

Dippet laughed. He looked at Grindelwald and Albus and asked, "Are you going to try it too?"

There are too many similarities between these two worlds, and Albus was a little out of the situation. He pushed his chair and stood up slowly. Before he walked into the magic mirror, he could guess what kind of picture he was about to see. .

It was the same as any time he saw it. In the mirror, he was wearing the long-lost gray suit and white shirt. He was a little ragged. The person standing in front of him had the same complex expression as him.

Albus sneaked a glance at Grindelwald, who was standing next to him, who happened to be looking at him too.

He turned his gaze back to the Mirror of Erised, and as the blood oath slowly rose in the air, Albus seemed to see the tear dripping from Grindelwald's eye, which he had never noticed before.

Perhaps from that day on, Grindelwald predicted their ending?

Then Albus in the mirror disappeared. He watched Grindelwald from young to middle-aged, and then turned into the old man squatting in the dark cell of Nurmengard. Albus finally turned his head away, lowered his eyes and walked away returned to his place."It's called the Mirror of Erised," said Dippet.

"It's amazing." Grindelwald answered.

Compared with Olim's surprised reaction, the expression on Grindelwald's face was still a little flat, and Albus was a little curious, but he still sat quietly and didn't move.

The Mirror of Erised was an incident at the dinner party, apparently to the delight of Dippet himself and Queen Olim.Although Albus and Grindelwald didn't have much emotional fluctuations, they still gave Dippet some face and said a few compliments.

Dippet set his birthday party for next Wednesday night, and after the dinner, he secretly found Grindelwald and mentioned the alliance to him in a roundabout way.

Grindelwald pretended to be confused, and after assuring Dippet that he would keep his promise, he dragged Albus away with a few perfunctory words.

He took Albus into his bedroom, which had a very different layout than the headmaster's office.Grindelwald's clothes still smelled of incense, he pushed Albus to the edge of the bed and sat down, took off his coat and threw it on the bed in front of the other party.

He stopped in front of Albus and asked, "What did you see in the mirror?"

"My future," Albus lied. "The future me has a pair of woolen socks that my brother and sister wove and gave me. They stood in front of me with the socks and said to me, Ah? Si, you should have changed your torn socks."

Albus was telling the truth, it was like something he had personally experienced.He raised his head slightly, narrowed his eyes and stared at Grindelwald: "What about you? What did you see?"

"It's my future, too," Grindelwald said. "In the mirror we kiss under the night sky, make/love on the lawn, and it's just you the whole time."
