dragon and boy

Grindelwald's opening was an apology, his tone was very sincere, his eyes were lowered and his posture was lowered.

Albus carefully looked at Grindelwald, and found that the other person's body was covered with large and small wounds, the cuffs of the white suit had been stained black, and the trousers were like him, and water would leak out when twisted.

He raised his eyes to meet Grindelwald, and he thought he probably understood the reason for the other party's apology.

"Did you see me that day?" Albus asked.

"I see." Grindelwald said, "Hiding under that tree."

Albus was silent for a while, and continued to ask: "How did Andrea die?"

Grindelwald didn't know the dragon's name until Albus explained it.

"There is a traitor in our team." Grindelwald replied, "Andrea has taken poison."

Just when Albus almost blurted out "Impossible", Wenda put away her saber and said first, "That's not an ordinary poison. The person who made it is too mysterious, but the reputation is very famous. A mystery, no one can find him."

"He infiltrated your team?" Albus asked back.

"No," Grindelwald said, "he's just getting paid to make medicine."

Grindelwald is now in a dangerous situation. A king who has just ascended the throne goes to the Forbidden Forest to pick up his admonisher, but what if he comes back empty-handed?

The road behind has been completely blocked by Beauxbaton's army, and it is impossible for his news to be sent back to the Forbidden Forest.

Both Grindelwald and Wenda knew what it meant to not be able to go back.An incumbent unaided by an adjudicator would not agree with the people, and neither would Durmstrang.

Albus looked at his furrowed brows, and suddenly asked, "What did you think of? How many people are left in Durmstrang?"

"The team got separated, and now it's just me and Wenda." Grindelwald said frankly, "We are in a very bad situation now. Beauxbaton's people have cut off my retreat. It's going to end well."

Albus is very smart, he instantly heard the meaning behind Grindelwald's words, he didn't want to be involved in this vortex, but now he couldn't help himself and took the initiative to step into it.

He stared straight at Grindelwald with his eyes, and asked word by word: "Are you missing an admonisher?"

Under the double gaze of Grindelwald and Wenda, the dragon wings behind Albus slowly unfolded. He took a step forward, took off the package on his body and held it in his hand. The appearance in front of all the students of Hogwarts.

"Although I'm not a pure blood, you can only choose me now." Albus looked directly at Grindelwald, "The decision is in your own hands."

Wen Da was a little unexpected about the development of the matter. He thought they would risk their lives to cross the multiple lines of defense of the Beauxbaton army and return to the Forbidden Forest, but he didn't expect that a dragon would be automatically sent in front of him.

Although they are of mixed race, it is already a great gift to them.

"Do you have the conditions?" Wenda asked.

"Only one," Albus replied, "to investigate Andrea thoroughly, and to defeat the Beauxbatons."

Albus's answer seemed to be within Grindelwald's expectation. He didn't seem too surprised, and his mood and state were flat: "I promise you, pack up, we'll return now."

"There is one more thing to do." Albus said suddenly, "Let's let the injury on your body heal first."

"No problem."

Ignoring Grindelwald, Albus unwrapped his package. He wanted to find a vial containing his blood to treat Grindelwald's wounds, but he couldn't find the glass vial after rummaging around for a while.Albus thought he was unlucky, maybe the vial accidentally fell out when he jumped off the cliff.

In desperation, without Wenda's consent, he pulled out the sword from her waist.Albus cut the palm of his hand with the blade of the sword, blood overflowed from his palm, and slid down drop by drop, splashing blood spots on the ground.

Albus took a few elderflowers with him when he went out. He soaked the grass with his own blood, and when the young leaves were dyed from green to blood red, he picked up Grindelwald's clothes and spread the young grass on it. on the opponent's wound.

"It will hurt a little." Albus said lightly, "Be patient."

The degree of pain in the healing process is not "some", Grindelwald bit his lip, and he tore off a long strip of fabric from his clothes, half of which was used to bind the elderberry firmly to himself, and the other half he gave Albus.

Albus was also polite, he took it and let it take its course and tied his palms.This place is not like the magic world where there is a healing spell. The healing of all wounds depends on the proliferation of tissues and the formation of scars.

And his blood should be saved.

Albus didn't know the way back to Durmstrang, so he could only follow Grindelwald and Wenda silently.During the whole process, Grindelwald didn't groan because of the pain, and he even walked in the front to explore the way himself.

They did not choose the prescribed route again, where Beauxbaton's soldiers must have ambushed in order to find Grindelwald.It's just that although few people will come to the road chosen now, the terrain is too steep.

Taking Albus back has another advantage. Compared with Andrea's huge body, Albus looks like an ordinary human being. No one knows that he has dragon blood flowing in his body, and no one will You can find it by following the trail of the dragon.

Throughout the journey, silence spread wantonly among the three of them.Grindelwald seemed to be trying to keep a distance from Albus, and he walked very fast, which puzzled Albus very much.

Albus only sees Grindelwald as a brand new partner, and doesn't try to look in him for his old lover.Although his Gellert Grindelwald has let him down, no one can replace him, even a person who looks exactly the same and has the same blood.

They passed a waterfall, and Grindelwald stopped for a while to refresh.Wenda was a little thirsty, so she went to the lake to drink a few sips of clear water, while Grindelwald sat on a rock not far away.

Albus walked up to him, wanting to check how well his wound was healing, and as soon as he reached out his hand, Grindelwald looked up at him.

"Need not."

Grindelwald didn't give Albus a chance to get close, he got up and walked a little farther away, and then sat down on another more damp stone slab.

Albus looked puzzled, and sat down in the area where Grindelwald had just been.He was a little hungry, so he took out the bread that Kendela had prepared for him, but before he could eat it, he thought it would be too boring to swallow it all by himself, so he found Wenda and forced to stuff the remaining two.

Grindelwald intends to alienate him, but he will not refuse Wenda's kindness.Albus guessed that Wenda would give the food to Grindelwald, so he made this decision.

He began to miss Candela and Dumbledore's family, and thought he would find an opportunity to go back and thank them later, but according to the current situation, Albus felt that it was better for him to stay away from them.

Staying away from the Dumbledores and letting them live a peaceful and peaceful life is also a kind of protection.

Albus was sitting cross-legged, the first time he'd been outside the Forbidden Forest in a long time since he'd been here, and the dragons were family to him here.Now he is in an unfamiliar place, facing the end of the journey that is about to arrive, he feels at a loss in his heart.

He had to admit that he hadn't felt this sense of confusion for a long time.The last time was at the end of the summer of 1899, when he watched Grindelwald leave, deep helplessness and confusion swept his heart.

Now Albus is still in front of the same person, Grindelwald still has his back to him, things have changed a lot, but this time he is smart and can't guess how things will go.

The summer evening wind gently caressed Albus' cheeks, and the sound of running water hit Albus' eardrums.Albus looked up at the waterfall in front of him, disappointed that the rainbow hadn't been reflected.So the sun gradually set, and when the last twilight disappeared, darkness enveloped the whole world.

They had to start again for the night.

They walked into a dense forest, which was full of all kinds of strange plants.Albus knew several of them, because he had seen them in the Forbidden Forest, such as the green shoot with a swaying stem not far away, although it looked innocent on the surface, it was actually extremely ferocious.

Fortunately, Grindelwald and Wenda were not people who would cause trouble. They pushed aside the thorns and accelerated their speed through the dense forest.

As expected, this road was very hidden, and I didn't meet any Beauxbaton's soldiers along the way.Apart from the embarrassment of the inactive atmosphere between them, the journey was smooth sailing.

"We'll be there soon." Suddenly, Grindelwald said, "Cross the mountain ahead, and Durmstrang is behind."

"I don't think it could be called right away," Albus retorted.

Wenda looked at Grindelwald, then stared at Albus and asked, "Do you need a rest?"

"I'm free."

Albus didn't give a clear answer, Grindelwald said directly: "Then keep going."

The last mountain is a bit difficult to climb. The mountain is mostly mud and gravel, and there are few flat grounds for people to settle on.The slope is a bit steep, and there will be stones rolling down from time to time. In addition, it seems to have rained this morning, and the mud is wet and slippery, making people's bodies full of mud.

After traveling through the night and climbing up the ridge, after more than five hours, when Albus finally stood on the highest point of the mountain, he couldn't help being shocked by the scene before him.

His impression of Durmstrang was a dangerous school that allowed the teaching of black arts, but the scene in front of him greatly subverted his imagination.

Spreading from the foot of the mountain to the other side of the horizon, the whole country is asleep in the peaceful night.Albus could see the dots of lights, and with their embellishments, it made Durmstrang even more mysterious.

This is the starting point of his new journey. He cast his deep eyes into the distance, and Albus's eyes seemed to have stars, and the twinkling appearance almost passed through the millennium.
