dragon and boy

Wenda remembered the man in front of her. She looked at Newt, and then took a peek at Zou Wu, and found that the eyes of this giant beast were fixed on the stick in his hand.

The stick was long and full of feathers, and it looked like it was used to tease cats.

"Grindelwald?" Wenda suddenly remembered Newt's words, and asked, "Your Majesty is also in the Forbidden Forest?"

After Newt nodded, he looked around for a long time: "Where is the other Lord Grindelwald?"

Wenda was taken aback for a while without reacting, and then she remembered the self-introductions of Albus and Grindelwald at Hogwarts, and then she understood.She picked up the saber on the ground and retracted the scabbard, and said, "Take me to see him."

Along the way, Wenda was a little taciturn, which saved Newt, who was not good at talking, a lot of unnecessary embarrassment and trouble.Newt stretched out his hand and pulled Vendara onto Zouwu's back, and the two of them rode one after the other on the back of this gigantic beast that could only travel thousands of miles a day, freely shuttling through the forbidden forest without hindrance.

"Why are you here?" Wen Da suddenly asked.

"Thanks to Mr. Grindelwald," Newt replied, "he let me go. After I left Hogwarts, I strayed into this Forbidden Forest. It's amazing inside, like the Zouwu, and Salamanders, these are creatures I've never seen before."

"You're amazing too."

Newt didn't know whether Wenda's words were complimenting him or hurting him. He froze for a while, but decided to respond with silence.

The speed of Zou Wu's running can be described as unmatched by anyone. Wenda's hair stuck to Newt's face. She leaned down and grabbed the fur on its back to stabilize her body. .

I don't know how many bends Zouwu made in this forbidden forest. When it finally stopped in a shadow, Wenda looked up, and in front of him was a towering tree with so luxuriant branches and leaves that he couldn't see the sky. Tree.

A wooden house was built on the branch at halfway up the tree. It didn't look solid, and there was something inside. It stood on the branch, looking precarious.

"Oh, my God." Newt fell off the Zouwu, and he hurried to the tree and complained, "I've told it a hundred times, this log cabin is not food!"

While speaking, Newt raised his sleeves, put his hands on the protrusions on the trunk, and prepared to climb up.Wen Da followed him and stood under the tree. The moment he looked up, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"There is a white bird on it, about the height of a person, and the hair on the top of its head looks like it has been sprayed with hairspray." Wenda turned around and saw Grindelwald coming out from behind another tree. "It likes to chew on wood."

Grindelwald obviously didn't have the vigor he had when he just set off. There were several places on his body and face. I don't know if it was because of the dragon's blood. The end of his brow bone was slightly red.

Wenda stepped forward respectfully, knelt down on one knee, and presented Grindelwald's saber with both hands.Grindelwald glanced at his bandaged hand, then at Wenda who lowered his head, and decided to take it with his intact hand.

Grindelwald's eyes fell on Wenda's neck, where there was a scabbed wound, he said softly "Thank you", and then locked his eyes on the pattern engraved on the scabbard.

"Dumbledore didn't follow," Wenda said.

Grindelwald replied: "I can feel him, he's alive and coming for us."

"They said he was shot by an arrow and fell off a cliff."

"He won't die so easily," Grindelwald said. "I tried to kill him countless times, but I didn't succeed."

After finishing speaking, there was a huge bang above their heads, and after a while, a big white bird followed Newt slowly out.

"The report from Durmstrang was false." Grindelwald pointed to Newt, "He happened to be nearby at the time, and I was able to settle here temporarily thanks to him. Newt Scar Mander is really good at Fantastic Beasts."

"But you drove him back at the beginning." Wen Da said. "If he can stay in Durmstrang..."

"It's impossible." Grindelwald said immediately, "I won't agree, and neither will Scamander. If he has the ability to escape Hogwarts, he has the ability to leave Durmstrang."

"He said that Lord Dumbledore helped him at the time."

"Albus would have helped him even in Durmstrang."

Newt climbed down from the tree and watched Grindelwald and Wenda come and go, not knowing what they were discussing.He wanted to ask a little bit, but when he caught a glimpse of Grindelwald's serious face, he immediately hissed again.He was obviously a little afraid of Grindelwald. Unlike the man who dared to face him and said "I'm not a Grindelwald believer", this Newt had more factors to consider.

For example, now, Newt doesn't know whether Grindelwald will be as moody as last time after he speaks, and in the past few days of getting along, he always avoids positive contact with Grindelwald.

"Please allow me to interject." At this moment Newt stepped forward and asked, "I want to know what we need to do next? Are we looking for Mr. Grindelwald? Or do something else? I want to say. ...I can help you guys, but can I not tell Hogwarts where I am going after that? I actually... don't want to go back."

"Can you find Albus?"

Newt was silent for a while, pointing to the white bird that jumped off the tree and landed firmly, "Maybe it can. Their sense of smell is very sensitive, just like a dog."

As he spoke, Newt turned around. He took off his coat and vest, turned his head and handed it to Wenda, and said, "Can you hold it for me? Thank you."

Before Wenda could answer, Newt ran straight over with his clothes on. He crouched down facing the white bird and lowered his posture. Newt suddenly bowed to it.

"It's very proud," Newt explained. "If you want to ask it to do something, you have to respect it. It's scary when it's angry."

"How did you know?"

"I have been in this Forbidden Forest since I escaped from Hogwarts, and I have been studying the habits of these creatures for more than half a year." Newt said while bending forward, "It's like this Birds, although they have a bad temper, once they treat you as their own, they will definitely become your most loyal companions."

"You call these animals companions?" Wenda asked incredulously.

Newt was stunned: "I'm just making an analogy. As long as you use the right method, they are actually very friendly to humans."

"Including eating your house?"

"..."

Newt no longer distracted his attention from other places. He fixed his eyes on the white bird in front of him until the other bird also lowered his head towards him. Then Newt took a step and began to approach it gradually.

Gently stroking its head with his hand, Newt smoothed out a few raised hairs on the top of the other's head.

"Good boy." As he spoke, Newt put his face against the side of the other's beak. "Can you do me a favor, Alex? I need you to help us find someone."

Seeing that the other party didn't show much resistance, but instead rubbed Newt's face more intimately with his beak, Newt turned around, looked at Grindelwald and asked, "Do you have another Mr. Grindelwald's?" Personal belongings? As long as it smells of him."

"Nothing." Grindelwald said, "Is his blood good?"

Newt stepped forward, took the small glass bottle that Grindelwald handed out, held it up in the sun and looked at it carefully for a long time, before saying, "There is nothing better than this."

Opening the bottle cap, Newt put the dragon's blood in front of Alex's nose, and gently stirred the bottle twice with his hand. Alex let out a long cry and flapped his wings twice.

Alex spread his wings and flew out of the forbidden forest in front of the three of them. When it left, it swept the fallen leaves around and brought a gust of wind.

"How long will it take?"

"It depends on where Mr. Grindelwald is." Newt said as he returned the bottle of dragon's blood. "It could be a day, two days, or even a month if it's slower. If it's faster..."

Before Newt could finish speaking, he heard a strong vibration from above his head. As soon as everyone looked up, they saw the sound of Alex falling to the ground slowly.

Newt said, "It's that fast."

Before Newt could ask Alex, the depths of the Forbidden Forest suddenly started to commotion, and they didn't know what the white bird had brought. It was obvious that the unknown creatures hadn't approached yet, and they obviously felt the whole thing. The ground began to shake.

The tremor was getting stronger and stronger, and it was coming from all directions. They knew that they were surrounded, and they looked around nervously as they kept approaching each other.

Leaves were shaken off, and some trees were even uprooted by something.Immediately after that, large expanses of black and gray appeared in their field of vision. When they raised their heads, their sight was blocked by the overly dense leaves. Those depressing colors surrounded them and kept approaching.

They thought they would continue to approach, but to their surprise, these creatures stopped after they surrounded them.

Raising the head, the leaves on the top of the head were pushed away by a claw, and these creatures revealed their truest appearance, they had gray-black scales and a pair of horns.

They are dragons.

"It's a dragon!" Newt exclaimed in disbelief. "I've been looking for them in this forbidden forest! It's a dragon!"

The dragon surrounded the way the three of them escaped. Wenda drew out his sword and wanted to block Grindelwald, but he didn't expect to be held down by the other party.

Following Grindelwald's line of sight, Wenda let go of the hand holding the sword hilt in an instant. There seemed to be something fluctuating in her eyes, and she opened her mouth unconsciously.

On top of the black dragon in front of them, Albus was sitting cross-legged in the middle, the cloth on his body was stained red with blood, leaning on the black dragon's horns, smiling a little weakly, but also full of publicity and enthusiasm elegant.
