dragon and boy

Grindelwald took Albus and Wenda into the night. They took off their gorgeous decorations and returned to Durmstrang disguised as ordinary people.

The entire country is covered in darkness, and the occasional duck calls make it even more peaceful.The lights on the side of the road were not very bright, and they could barely illuminate the surrounding things. Fortunately, their eyes were already used to the darkness, which allowed them to move freely in the wide streets and narrow alleys.

They didn't choose to go back to the royal castle. They went around in a big circle, and Grindelwald finally stopped in front of a dilapidated wooden door.

He raised his hand and knocked lightly three times, seeing the sound of a broken glass bottle coming from inside, he knocked again twice.Then, the wooden door made a "creak" sound, and then it was slowly opened from the inside.

Grindelwald looked around and stepped into the house after finding nothing unusual.There was only one kerosene lamp lit in the room, and the overall appearance was very dim. The candlelight flickered a bit, but it did not affect the lighting.

The room is very old, and the furnishings inside are very simple, only a table, a few chairs and a single bed that looks rickety.Not only that, the tables and chairs were covered with dust, and it seemed that no one had come to take care of them for a while.

This should be just one of Grindelwald's secret footholds.

The moment Albus stepped into the room, he was provoked by an unpleasant smell that filled the room.His sense of smell is very sensitive, and he frowned for a moment.

"What smell?" Albus asked.

"Maybe..." Suddenly, a woman in the corner said, "Urine smell?"

Albus turned his head when he heard the sound, it was a beautiful woman with blond hair, she was tall, and dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth when she smiled.

She was very stylishly dressed and looked better than any woman Albus had ever seen.But it can be concluded that this is a lady who loves beauty, even the fabric of the clothes on her body is first-class.

Queenie Goldstein, Ah Bu thought, this is the sister-in-law of his favorite student.

She walked up to Albus, gave him a polite smile, and then she turned to Grindelwald and asked, "This is...?"

"You'll know then."

Grindelwald does not intend to announce the identity of Albus for the time being, even if it is his close person.Queenie was obviously not as interested in Albus either, and she walked past Albus to the other door in the house.

Pushing the door open gracefully, it was dark inside, but the unpleasant smell became stronger and stronger.

Grindelwald picked up the kerosene lamp on the table, and picked up a glass of water. He signaled Wenda and Queenie to wait at the door with his eyes, but before he could look at Albus, the other party seemed to understand him. With a normal mind, he followed directly.

He wanted Albus to follow him into this room.

Walking into the dark room, it really smelled like urine.Albus pinched his nose, only to see Grindelwald handing him a handkerchief before: "Take it and use it."

"Thank you."

There was nothing in the room, only a man who was tied up and fell to the ground.The man seemed to have passed out, unaware of their presence.

Without hesitation, Grindelwald splashed the contents of the water glass on the man's face.Not knowing if the water in the glass was white water, the man suddenly opened his eyes, and started coughing violently in the next second.

The man's consciousness began to wake up, and he opened his eyes with a deep sense of fear.The ground under him was full of water stains, and the unpleasant smell came from here.He seemed to pee his pants out of fear, his legs were still trembling, and he didn't know what terrible thing he had experienced before.

Albus bent down and helped Grindelwald lift the lamp. He squatted down with the other party, and saw Grindelwald suddenly grabbed the other party's neck.

Grindelwald's actions were rough, but his eyes were full of kindness.His tone is very peaceful, but it can make people feel a sense of shudder from the bottom of their hearts.

He is a manipulator of people's hearts by nature, knowing what the other party is afraid of.

"I don't blame you." Grindelwald looked at the man who fell on the ground and said suddenly, "Because you are not the instigator behind it."

His eyes seemed to come from a philanthropist, so kind that people couldn't move their eyes away.The man seemed to have lost his soul, he froze in place, and Grindelwald picked him up from the ground by choking his neck.

The man sat up straight, he met Grindelwald's dark blue eyes, and heard the other party speak slowly: "You can leave later, as long as you tell the truth. How long have you been here? One day Or a week? Your parents, brother and lover, they are all waiting for you to go back."

Albus held a lamp and watched with cold eyes. He knew Grindelwald's methods, starting with people's hearts to shake others, can subvert the whole world with just one mouth, but he didn't expect Grindelwald's way of doing things in the two worlds to be so similar .Albus stepped forward, lit the kerosene lamp on the man's face, and was surprised to find that the man was in tears.

Maybe it was Grindelwald who said it into his heart, the man's lips parted slightly, and before he could say a word, Grindelwald asked softly, "What's your name?"

"Maca..."

"So Marca, how did you sell information about our team?" Grindelwald asked.

"...I buried the note with the number of people, the route, and the time in the soil in the woods outside the city, and someone will come to take it away."

"who is it?"

"I have no idea......"

"Okay, so what do you know?"

"I do not know anything......"

As soon as the words were finished, Grindelwald suddenly let go of his palm, and Maca slid down the wall, and Albus walked out with the lamp.

The door was locked again, Albus put the kerosene lamp back on the wooden table, Queenie walked back and forth to add some kerosene to it, and the light in the room instantly brightened by a degree.

"Are you finished?" Queenie asked with her back against the wall.

"He doesn't know anything." Grindelwald paused, "But if something happens to me, who will benefit the most? I should be able to guess who is responsible. I am not the only one in the Grindelwald family."

The meaning of Grindelwald's words was concise. He glanced out the window and saw a black crow standing on the opposite eaves.The crow made a miserable cry, flapping its wings several times, Grindelwald winked, and Wenda went to open the window.

The crow slowly landed on Wenda's arm, and tied a piece of paper to its foot.Grindelwald took it from Wenda's hand, put it in the place with the most light and opened it.

"Someone will come tomorrow morning to deliver the news of my death." Grindelwald smiled, "He will run from the Hogwarts border, and then kneel and cry at the gate of Durmstrang, all It’s all going to happen.”

"Is it the traitor?" Albus asked.

"No, it's mine."

Grindelwald smiled when he spoke, as if everything was easy to do.He fixed his eyes on Albus, and immediately looked away before the other party looked over.

"What about the man in the room?" Albus asked suddenly, "Are you going to let him go?"

"I promised to let him go, but it doesn't mean they will let him go." Grindelwald pointed to Wenda and Queenie, "Will you?"

Queenie and Wenda didn't make a sound, Grindelwald then looked at Albus and added: "They don't seem to have an opinion, he is also one of the people who killed Andrea, so now the decision is up to you on the body."

Albus fell silent, he wasn't a saint, but he didn't like to kill casually either.Everyone in the room seemed to be waiting for a word from him, and his words could determine a person's life or death.

Unlike the wizarding world, there is no institution similar to the Wizengamot here to preside over a relative justice. Life and death often depend on the king's thoughts.

"Let me think about it," said Albus. "I need a moment."

Grindelwald was not surprised by what Albus said, he took down two black clothes hanging from behind the door, gave one to Albus, and put on the other himself.Instead of letting Queenie and Wenda follow, he took Albus out and blended into the night.

Walking on the empty street, Albus wrapped his black clothes tightly. He suddenly remembered that the linen cloth he borrowed from Godric had disappeared at some point, and his pace slowed down instantly. .

"What's wrong?" Grindelwald asked.

"How do you know that the team's information will be betrayed?"

"I don't know." Grindelwald said, "But before I set off, I asked Queenie to pay attention to the situation in this city. If something really happened, I would gather there just now. Although I don't know what will happen, I have a hunch that something will happen. About Andrea... I'm sorry."

Albus didn't reply.Soon, Grindelwald asked again: "What's your name?"

"Albus Dumbledore."

When Albus spoke, Grindelwald didn't seem to be listening, his loose blond hair fluttering in the wind by the brim of his hat, seemed to be the only bright spot in the darkness.Albus's gaze has been on Grindelwald without any deviation, and he doesn't know if it's because the royal family in this world is full of intrigue, Grindelwald in front of him seems to be too precocious.

"So where are we going now?"

"Castle, I still have some things to do when I go back." Saying this, Grindelwald stepped into a small path, which was so narrow that only one person could pass through it. Immediately after going out, there was a high wall, and Albus raised his head Looking at it, I estimated that the wall was about four or five meters high, and I couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

"Don't say you want me to take you up there." Albus guessed.

"Otherwise, why would I ask you?" Grindelwald asked back, "Do you think I can climb up?"
