dragon and boy

At this time, Albus pressed his chest against Grindelwald's back. Grindelwald was a little uncomfortable, but still let Albus wrap his hands around himself.

Albus' body temperature was very high, and it made Grindelwald a little unbearable to stick to his body.

It was the first time for the two of them to get so close, and Albus' breath hit Grindelwald's ears. He took a deep breath and asked, "Are you all right? Are you up?"

"Turn your head away."

"How?" Albus asked with a smile, "Cut it off?"

Grindelwald didn't make a sound, and Albus saw his displeasure, so he let go of his hand.He remembered the way Grindelwald took the initiative to keep a distance from them on the road before. Maybe the other party didn't like such intimate contact with people, Grindelwald even frowned.

Albus is a considerate person, since the other party doesn't want to use this simple and rude method of getting on the wall, he can only settle for the next best method he can accept.

Grindelwald didn't want to bother, and wanted to be carried by the other party and fly over the high wall, but who knew that Albus walked back towards the path.

Beside the small road was a family, and there was a shed not far away for raising livestock. A cattle rope was placed on the fence beside the shed. Albus thanked him secretly again, and borrowed it in the dead of night. .

Hope it doesn't go missing this time.

Seeing that Albus brought a bundle of thick rope, Grindelwald didn't make a sound. He took the initiative to wrap the rope around his waist, tied a knot and then pulled it several times.

"Okay, you go up."

Albus smiled at Grindelwald, he looked beautiful with his bone wings spread in the moonlight.Grindelwald was slightly dumbfounded, but quickly retracted his eyes.He raised his head, looked at Albus who was firmly on the top of the wall, and grasped the rope with both hands.Under the control of the other party, he gradually shortened the length of the rope bit by bit. When he was only one step away, Albus suddenly stretched out his hand to him, and Grindelwald reached out to him without hesitation.

With Albus' support, Grindelwald stood firmly on the top of the wall.

"You go down first." Albus said suddenly, "It's the same as before, I'll pull you."

The process of overcoming the wall was smooth, but it took some time because of some small episodes.Albus dusted him off and was surprised to hear Grindelwald thank him.He was a little surprised. He didn't expect this Grindelwald to be quite polite. According to his impression, these little princes of the royal family should be arrogant, arrogant and domineering.

"You follow me." Grindelwald pulled Albus behind a giant tree trunk, when a group of soldiers who happened to be patrolling here passed by, with swords around their waists and armor on their bodies.

"Why are there so many soldiers in the castle?" Albus asked softly, "This number is too many night watchmen."

"Last night's watch." Grindelwald replied, "Wait until tomorrow, and everything will be over."

The soldiers walked quickly, and Grindelwald led Albus out of the shadows.This royal castle is a bit big. Albus just looked around when he was in the air, and it occupies an area no less than that of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The two quickly ran out of the bushes and stopped at the corner of the castle.Grindelwald crouched down halfway, and motioned for Albus to do the same, and they had to slip quietly into the castle, dodging the soldiers.

Walking all the way to the upper floors of the castle, the distance between Albus and Grindelwald was no more than two meters during the whole process.Several times, Grindelwald stretched out a hand towards Albus to draw him towards him, but each time he only moved his arm slightly, and he withdrew his whole hand.

They flashed into a room, and the moment they entered, Grindelwald lit a beeswax candle in the room.The candle produced a small amount of smoke as it burned, and Albus sniffed it close to him, finding it pleasant.

"It smells really special."

Grindelwald didn't even turn his head when he answered: "If you like, I will prepare more for you then."

"Thanks," Albus replied. "Where is this?"

Albus looked at the room, the simplicity reveals a low-key luxury, and its owner should be a person with great taste.

"My bedroom." As he said, Grindelwald quickly walked to the bookshelf by the window, and he carefully moved the books down, until the entire third floor was vacated, and Albus saw it A small depression in a plank.

Grindelwald took off the silver ring that had been on his thumb, and the ring could just fit in the depression, and the whole bookshelf began to shake in the next second.Grindelwald waved his hand, and slowly pushed the bookshelf after Albus came to him.

There is a secret passage connected to the back of the bookshelf. The passage is very long and can't be seen at the end. There is a chill that does not match the season, and Albus shivered instantly.

"Are you cold?"

"Dragon," Albus replied, "I don't like winter."

"There are my clothes in the closet over there, you go and take them and put them on."

It was the first time Albus saw Grindelwald's wardrobe. There were not many clothes in it, most of them were long gray and black.Albus picked up a cloak, which was just the right size, and before leaving, he blew out the candles as Grindelwald said.Albus followed Grindelwald, and found that the other party had taken a log from the stone wall beside him and lit it at some point.

The firelight swayed in the dark corridor, and the bookshelves behind them turned around, and they couldn't see anything different from the room.

Albus wrapped the clothes around his body tightly, and he stopped suddenly, attracting the attention of Grindelwald in front.

"What's wrong?" Grindelwald asked.

Albus put his finger in front of his lips, pointed to the entrance, and mouthed: "There are people outside."

Grindelwald was taken aback for a moment. He walked up to Albus and stood side by side. He didn't know if Albus understood what he meant. He pointed outside with his finger, and then pointed to his mouth and Albus respectively. ears.

Albus replied in a low voice, "They didn't speak, they seemed to be looking for something."

Grindelwald's hearing is not as sharp as Albus's, he can only faintly hear some movement, and he can't predict what the people outside are doing.

"They say it's important . . . the fate of Durmstrang," Albus repeated slowly. "It must be found . . . "

"Don't listen." Grindelwald said suddenly, "They can't find it."

"what?"

"It's in here." Saying that, Grindelwald patted Albus and continued walking into the passage.There are some small traps in the corridor, such as the flying arrows shot from the side wall from time to time and the hollow stone bricks between the feet. Albus moved forward slowly according to Grindelwald's pace.

Until the end, Grindelwald stood a meter away from him and stretched out his hand towards Albus: "Jump over here, don't step on it."

Albus didn't put his hand up, he took a half step back, and then lunged forward.Albus landed firmly beside Grindelwald, obviously not using Grindelwald's outstretched hand.

Going further inside, at the end of the corridor, there is a dilapidated wooden table with two extinguished candlesticks and a wooden box on the table.The wooden box looks very delicate, in stark contrast to the wooden table below it. The wooden lid is engraved with Durmstrang's emblem, and there is a lock on the opening.

There was a key hanging around Grindelwald's neck. After he took it off, he inserted the key into the keyhole, and the lock fell into his palm with a "click".

He opened the wooden box, and there were two rings quietly placed inside, one on the left and one on the right.

"These two rings are they looking for?"

Grindelwald nodded: "This is old Grindelwald's stuff, or it was handed down by the Grindelwald family, and only the kings of the past can have it. Of course, old Grindelwald was too romantic when he was young, and he not only had one son , so now the other few are trying to kill me, before I officially succeed to the throne."

"How many children does Old Grindelwald have?"

"About five or six?" Grindelwald thought for a while, "I don't remember, maybe there are more than one, the last one was born the year before last."

"...He has a lot of energy." Albus pressed. "Are you the eldest son?"

"That's it."

Is it?

Albus heard the ambiguity in Grindelwald's tone, and he frowned slightly, feeling that things were a little subtle.He watched Grindelwald take out the ring and transfer it to a piece of white cloth that he took out, and then he folded the white cloth and put it in his arms.

"It's not safe to hide things here," Grindelwald explained. "Are they still out there?"

"Not yet."

"Then wait here for a while."

The two leaned against a wall and fell silent. The candlelight stretched their shadows very long.There was a bit of embarrassment in the silence, and Albus took the initiative to ask, "Why are there two rings?"

"There's another one from old Grindelwald's wife."

"Queen? Your mother?"

"She died with old Grindelwald," Grindelwald continued.

Grindelwald's tone sounded neither sad nor happy, as if the two people he was talking about had nothing to do with him.He played with the key in his hand, and looked at Albus in front of him out of the corner of his eye.

Albus felt that he was not so cold, he took off Grindelwald's coat and held it in his hand.He breathed a sigh of boredom, and flicked the loose hair on both sides of his head. He turned his eyes to look around, and finally his eyes fell on Grindelwald.

At the same time, Grindelwald also raised his head abruptly, and the two met eyes. Grindelwald suddenly asked, "Are you not cold anymore?"

While speaking, Grindelwald wiped the sweat from his forehead.

An unpleasant smell gradually filled the air, and Albus suddenly tensed up. He walked forward a little distance, and smelled a burning smell.

The temperature in the corridor is still rising rapidly, and there are even wisps of gray smoke coming from the entrance bookshelf and the cracked rock wall.

"We've got to get out," said Albus gravely. "They set fire outside."
