dragon and boy

Chapter 16

Ron and Hermione arrived two hours later, the blond boy was living in the same room as Harry, and when he had sunk himself deep into the six-foot bed, Ron stood up and stared at Harry. Said: "It's like a dream!"

Harry sat on the sofa, looked at the luxurious decoration in the room, and replied, "Me too."

"I didn't even know you knew people from the royal family! I never dreamed that we could go to the royal church school!" Ron jumped off the bed at once, and he walked in front of Harry and said in disbelief, "His Majesty sent someone My mother still refused to believe it when she came to pick me up, her jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock!"

"Actually, I didn't think of it either," Harry confessed.

The two boys piled their luggage in the house, and they stayed in the house chatting all afternoon, when there was a knock on the door in the evening, it was Hermione who came looking for it.

Hermione looked different without her civilian clothes.She is a smart girl, and she changed into an aristocratic long dress, which made her look more elegant.

"Why don't you leave?" Hermione asked with her hands on her hips, "The dinner party is about to begin, don't you want to be ashamed and conspicuous on the first day you come here?"

"What dinner?" Ron poked his head out. "Why don't we know?"

"Don't you know? Lord Gellert invited us to attend today's dinner." Hermione urged, "Clean up quickly, the dinner is about to start."

They followed Hermione all the way to the banquet hall, and gently pushed open the door of the hall. The scene inside made the three of them hiss in fright.

All eyes were cast on the three of them, except for the melodious music echoing in the banquet hall, the only sound was the door Harry was holding on to.

Standing by the long table, the closest to the three was a child who looked about their age.He had blond hair and the same blue eyes as Grindelwald. He put down the plate in his hand, took a step towards the door, and looked at the three of Harry with disdain.

"The dinner party started five minutes ago," Leonard said. "Didn't your parents teach you to be punctual?"

"We got lost," Harry explained.

"Getting lost can't be an excuse for being late."

Seeing the embarrassment on the faces of the three of them, Leonard became somewhat complacent.If Grindelwald hadn't stopped him, he might have continued to taunt Harry and the others.

"I think you're better than him." Albus who was standing beside Grindelwald suddenly said softly, "At least you don't deliberately trouble innocent people."

Grindelwald chuckled: "As I said, he is a problem boy."

As Grindelwald said, most of the people at the dinner were people around him.Albus had met several of them, such as Wenda and Queenie, who had known Albus at one time or another.

The banquet hall is very large, no less than the hall at the entrance of the royal castle.The entire hall is in a warm environment, surrounded by several beautifully carved wall lamps, and a long table is placed on the right side of the banquet hall, on which are placed all kinds of delicious food, most of which are only Only the nobles and the royal family can eat it.

A huge glass chandelier hangs on the ceiling, which seems to be studded with diamonds, and its flickering appearance is very dazzling.

Grindelwald handed Albus a goblet half full of the pale yellow liquid.

Albus held it up and clinked a glass with Grindelwald lightly. Before drinking, he asked, "What is this?"

"Limoncello," said Grindelwald, "I paid for the recipe for it from Frank."

"The second meeting gift?" Albus asked, and immediately added, "This is a big surprise."

Grindelwald stared at Albus, he shook the goblet in his hand, as if there was a stream of light in his eyes: "As long as you like it."

Although Albus had a smile on his face, he always felt that Grindelwald's attitude towards him was strange.He took a sip from the side of the glass, and at this moment, Queenie not far away raised the wine glass in her hand towards him.

"She is very optimistic about you," Grindelwald said. "Queenie said that you made a perfect choice for the person who was caught. Killing him or acquitting him is not what she approves of."

"So, someone still recognizes me as a half-dragon?" Albus spoke very briskly, "Thank her for me."

Albus wasn't very hungry, but he chose to eat out of respect.The food in this world is just like this, but fortunately, there is no booger-scented Bibi multi-flavored beans.

"By the way." Albus suddenly remembered something, "Why didn't Hogwarts attend your coronation ceremony?"

"Dippet said he could only leave for a few days, and he rushed back with the army immediately after the incident." Grindelwald replied, "He will send someone."

Albus looked at Grindelwald, he drank the limoncello in the glass, put the glass on the long table, and walked slowly in the direction where Harry and the others were.

Hermione recognized Albus the first time she saw him. She remembered the man who stopped Harry's impulsive behavior at that time, but she didn't expect that it was the admonisher today.

"Who is he?" Ron still had a chicken leg stuffed in his mouth, and he puffed up his cheeks and asked, "He looks familiar, have we met somewhere?"

Hermione pushed Ron with her elbow: "It was outside the castle, you forgot?"

The drumstick fell onto the plate suddenly, Ron opened his mouth wide and froze in place for a moment.

Albus stopped in front of the three of them, bent down, tried to look as calm as possible, and asked, "How was your first day here?"

Both Ron and Hermione were still in a daze without answering, Harry nodded his head and spoke very naturally: "That's great, thank you, Mr. Dumbledore."

The three of them didn't feel the eyes tightly locked on them behind them, but Albus who was facing Leonard could see it clearly.

Albus deliberately ignored Leonard. He knelt down and put his hands on Harry and Ron's shoulders, watching the three of them closely, and said, "But you have to learn to be careful in your words and deeds here, some people have brains ill."

While talking, Albus pointed to his head: "I didn't point to anyone in particular. Remember, come to me beforehand."

The original intention of these words was exactly the same as that when Albus and Andrea spoke. Albus secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that the three children could grow up smoothly under his protection this time.

Suddenly, the music in the banquet hall changed to a different style, and the melody became lighter. The gentlemen present looked at the ladies with eager eyes, and they wanted to dance.

Albus met Grindelwald's eyes when he turned his head, and he averted his eyes for a moment, but Grindelwald had the same reaction.He returned to the long table and went straight to the area where the desserts were placed.

He has always had a sweet tooth, just as Grindelwald loves any gadget that suits his taste.When Albus put the cake in his mouth with the fork, he felt as if he was outside the event, and a sudden strangeness swept over him.

He also attended the party before, the piano was paired with an electric guitar, champagne was accompanied by soda, and the atmosphere was much more lively than it is now.

After the dinner party, Albus left the castle alone, without greeting anyone, donning his black cloak and hastily blending into the night.

He came to a high slope outside Durmstrang alone. Albus took off his coat and hat, looked straight into the night, and looked down at everything sleeping at the foot of the mountain.

Andrea had failed to become an Advocate, so Durmstrang would not have allowed a non-National headstone to be erected in their graveyard.

He erected a wooden monument in a beautiful place on a high slope. The night view seen from here is the most beautiful. Albus hoped that this view would accompany his friend forever.

There is no name on this stele, only a sentence "Where the treasure is, so is the heart" is engraved.

Albus doesn't come here very often, and probably never will.He sat on the ground next to this stele, the mud on the ground stained his clothes, and he did the phrase "not a gentleman" that he often said in his mouth.

In the castle of the Durmstrang royal family, Grindelwald was sitting in front of the desk with the candlestick, and Venda Rossier stood on his left side with his head bowed, holding a letter in his hand.

"Where did he go?" Grindelwald asked.

"Going north out of the city." Wenda asked, "Do you need to find him? Don't you think you gave him too much freedom?"

"No." Grindelwald shook his head, "he won't leave here, and he has his own things to do. Albus Dumbledore...even if I don't give him freedom, he can't be imprisoned He, he has all the willful capital, no one knows him better than me."

Wenda didn't continue talking, she handed out the letter in her hand, and against the candlelight, Grindelwald saw clearly that the seal on the letter was engraved with the pattern of Hogwarts.

Wenda said: "Hogwarts sent people over, and they invited Durmstrang to their ball, but Beauxbatons was also invited."

"Understood." Grindelwald took the letter and threw it aside, "Go and tell them, I will arrive on time."

Wenda bowed: "I'll go and tell Duke Scamander right now, he's waiting in the council hall right now."

Just as Wenda turned around and was about to leave the room, Grindelwald suddenly called out to him: "Scamander? What's his full name?"

"Newt," Venda replied, "Lord Newt Scamander."

I don't know what kind of hatred Grindelwald has with the Duke of Hogwarts, but his voice came from in front of him coldly: "Send him back now and tell Dippet that everything will wait for him to change someone else." Come over and talk."
