dragon and boy

He has to go.

Albus is unwilling to believe the news of Andrea's death, he must find out the truth of the matter.Although very reluctant, Albus said goodbye to the Dumbledore family.

When he was leaving, he secretly stuffed the vial containing dragon's blood into Aberforth's hand, and Aberforth held it up to look at it under the moonlight, the red liquid in the vial was even shimmering.

"What's this?" Aberforth asked.

"The Luck Potion," said Albus, "but don't use it carelessly, it's precious."

Albus spent nearly ten years researching the efficacy of dragon blood in this world.Fortunately for him, dragon blood seems to have something in common in the two worlds, and his previous research on the twelve uses of dragon blood seems to be useful here as well.Of course, dragon's blood can heal wounds as well as phoenix's tears, so before leaving the Forbidden Forest, Albus took several tubes of dragon's blood from himself, just in case.

Albus left Godric at night, the moonlight flooding the valley, but he didn't have time to stop and admire.The valley was very cool in the summer evening. Albus passed by a wheat field and borrowed a piece of sackcloth from the scarecrow to wear on his body. When he took it away, Albus thanked it and vowed to return it when he had the chance.

Grindelwald's team was attacked at the border of Hogwarts, which was not far from Godric, and Albus could get there in one night without sleep.

Fortunately, the dinner at Dumbledore's house was very good, so Albus didn't go on the road hungry.Before going out, Kendela stuffed him with two loaves of bread. Seeing Albus's hurried appearance, she couldn't resist going back to the house to get some more loaves.

She was afraid that the child would be hungry on the way, probably because of his looks, Candela almost took Albus for her son.

The roads on the border of Hogwarts are rough, mostly mountain roads, Albus climbed over one mountain, but came to the second one.Until the eastern sky revealed its white belly, he finally saw a trace of cooking smoke rising from the distant horizon.

Where there are people, there must be some news.

Albus sped up his speed and ran towards the smoke, getting closer, he finally realized that it wasn't just a few families in twos and threes.Hundreds of people camped in a clearing, it was an army.

Why is there an army on the border at Hogwarts?

Going closer, the soldiers found Albus' traces, and they rushed towards Albus holding shields and swords, and the soldiers surrounded him.While the sharp sword was pointing at him, one of them asked viciously, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"I came looking for this cigarette..." said Albus, "I'm just hungry."

"Get out!" The leading soldier put down his sword first. He saw the sackcloth on Albus's body, but he didn't doubt his civilian status. He pushed Albus with his shield and tried to drive him away, but I didn't expect the other party to advance instead of retreating.

"I'm just hungry." Albus repeated with a little fear.

Seeing that Albus could only be sent away with food, the soldier walked back impatiently.He tore off a small piece of meat from the barbecue grill in the distance and threw it towards Albus, shouting: "Get out of here! You are lucky to be able to eat this meat, and don't be afraid to eat this meat." Appear before us!"

"This meat...?" Albus was a little puzzled, and felt uneasy when he picked up the meat from the ground.

"Durmstrang has killed a dragon! It's just ahead of the battlefield. How can we Beauxbatons let go of this advantage? Everyone is hungry, so I pulled it over and roasted it!" The soldier said without hesitation. He laughed, and even the people around him roared with laughter, "Okay, you can be regarded as someone who has eaten dragon meat, get out of here, kid!"

Albus shook the flesh in his hand without moving for a long time, he looked at the disgusted faces of the humans in front of him, and even felt murderous.At this moment, how much he wished that he was holding a magic wand in his hand. He could use those forbidden spells in this world without magic control. He clenched his fists tightly. If he was really just a 20-year-old kid , will definitely rush to fight them desperately.

But the years have worn down his mind, he must bear it, and Albus can only lie dormant until he finds the most suitable method.Maybe the few people in front of him are not enough to prove him, but if it is an army, or even a whole country, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to retreat completely.

Albus slowly disappeared amidst the jeers of the soldiers, he had to find Grindelwald quickly.Going around this flat land, Albus could still see the rising smoke from several miles away. He was walking in another wilderness, and the gravel all over the ground hurt his feet.

Finally, when the first bow and arrow appeared on the ground beneath his feet, Albus knew he had reached the battlefield.

The sun gradually rose, the sky was dyed red, and the sight became clear. At the same time, Albus finally saw the true face of this battlefield.

Flags with the Durmstrang insignia staggered across the dirt, trampled and covered with footprints and dust.

In front of him were countless corpses, most of them bearing Durmstrang's insignia.Their bodies were full of arrows, their necks were cut open by swords, and blood flowed all over the ground.Albus sniffed, feeling the smell of blood fill his nostrils.

The further he walked, the more shocking the scene in front of Albus.There was a detached corpse lying in front of him, the head was facing Albus, and the wide-eyed eyes seemed to be telling the horror of his death.

Albus prayed in his heart that Merlin would bless these dead people. He had to admit that no matter which world he was in, war was cruel.

At the end of the wasteland, there was a cliff. Albus looked down, and there was a river at the bottom of the cliff.This river leads to the lake where the Forbidden Forest joins Durmstrang, but the current is very fast.

There is no hiding place around, will Grindelwald choose to jump off this high cliff?

If it was the Grindelwald Albus knew, he would definitely make such a crazy move.Grindelwald is a proud person. If he was in this world without magic, he would rather jump to his death than be anyone's prisoner.

Thinking of this, Albus fastened the package on his body without hesitation, he took a few steps back, and suddenly ran forward and jumped down.He spread out the dragon wings on his back instantly in the air, fanned the wings and suspended in mid-air only a few meters above the ground.

He fell to the ground slowly, put away the dragon wings and began to look around.The bottom of the cliff is covered with weeds, mixed with pebbles.The fast-moving water wet the bank and Albus' trousers. He walked down the river and saw several corpses along the way.

They were not killed by the sword, but by falling from a height.There is no difference between humans and Muggles here. If they fall from such a high cliff, even if they don't die, most of them will die.

Albus inspected the corpses one by one. Although some of them were bloody and bloody and couldn't see their faces clearly, based on his years of understanding of Grindelwald, Grindelwald definitely did not become one of those corpses.

Albus bent down and took a sword from the corpse at his feet, saying "thank you".

There were too many pebbles on the river bank, which made the road very difficult, and Albus was careful about his steps, and kept an eye on his surroundings.Maybe Grindelwald is hiding in that corner, or maybe Beauxbaton's soldiers will suddenly appear from somewhere.

The only thing that echoed in Albus's ears was the rush of running water, and he could see a few crucian carp jumping out of the river from time to time.There was a stone cave in front of him, and it was pitch black inside. After looking at the door for a while, Albus decided to go in and have a look.

The stone cave gives people a very gloomy feeling, and no one knows what is hidden inside, maybe it is a big clumsy black bear.But Albus is not afraid of bears, he can fly, so bears can't help him.The stone cave looked very deep, and the echo of Albus' footsteps could be heard inside, and he clenched the saber at his waist.

Albus felt his foot step on something, and when he looked down, it was a dark skull.The skull was incomplete, and the mandible clearly showed traces of being stepped on. Immediately afterwards, there was another "squeak", and Albus found that there was also a crack in its cheekbone, which was the foot he stepped on just now.

What a sin.

Albus took a deep breath and continued walking.There was no valuable information in the cave, and Albus looked at his drenched trousers, disappointed.

He turned around, ready to leave here to go to the next place, and the next moment, Albus felt a cold sword against his neck.

"I lost the sword." Behind him, a woman said coldly.

Albus did as she was told, turning away slowly after dropping the sword.The woman in front of her had short black hair. She was very tall and had very distinct facial features. The moment Albus recognized her, his heart suddenly settled down.

He had met her before the great war in 1945, she was Grindelwald's subordinate, Venda Rossier.

Wenda firmly stuck the sword in Albus's throat, and Albus cast his gaze behind Wenda, and as expected, he saw a young man with blond hair in the shadow.

Grindelwald's eyes kept lingering on Albus, he slowly walked out of the shadows, and when he stood beside Wenda and in front of Albus, he raised Wenda's sword slowly Press.

Before Wenda could speak, Grindelwald said first, "He's not an enemy."

Then Grindelwald stared at Albus, and he was silent for a while, finally closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "...I'm sorry."
