Harry Potter: The Legend of Demigods

At seven o'clock on Sunday morning, Anakin sat at the dining table with a tired look on his face, slowly savoring his breakfast. Anakin couldn't sleep all night because he and Quirrell practiced the Cruciatus Curse yesterday. Whenever he closed his eyes, the twisted body of the giant spider seemed to be shaking in front of Anakin's eyes, haunting him like a nightmare.

The cafeteria was bustling with students, and students were chatting and laughing, but Anakin was in an extremely heavy mood. He chewed his breakfast silently, and although the table was full of delicious food, he couldn't feel the taste of the food. His mind was occupied by last night's experiences, and he thought hard, trying to find a way out of his predicament.

Anakin tried his best to smile, "It's okay, Hayley. I'm just a little tired last night and didn't sleep well."

Hailey frowned slightly. She knew that Anakin had always been tight-lipped about his affairs, but this time the situation seemed a little different. She looked at Anakin's eyes, trying to find some clues, but found that the other man's eyes were full of deep exhaustion.

"If you need to talk, I'm always here." Hayley patted Anakin's shoulder gently and left.

......

Anakin came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest again, and Starwing slowly walked out of it. Probably because the Poseidon bloodline allowed Anakin to have a spiritual connection with all equine animals, Anakin seemed willing to tell Starwing all the secrets in his heart.

"Hey Starwing, you look good," Anakin said softly, reaching out to stroke Starwing's feathers. Starwing chirped in pleasure, as if in response to Anakin's concern.

"Something happened, Starwing. Last night I learned a very dark magic - the Cruciatus Curse." Anakin took a deep breath and told Starwing in detail what happened.

"I don't know what to do, Starwing. On the one hand, if I don't practice, Quirrell will definitely kill me, but the side effects and... harm of this magic... I'm afraid if I become addicted to it , I can no longer extricate myself." Anakin spoke in a deep voice, revealing his inner struggle without reservation.

Starwing let out a low chirp, as if to tell Anakin that he understood his predicament. "Anakin, what do you need me to do for you? Do you want us to help you kick Quirrell's head in as you say?"

"Thanks, brother, but forget it. The Dark Lord Voldemort is on him, at least...at least now I can hold on." Anakin smiled bitterly and shook his head. At this moment, Anakin seemed to hear the sound of human footsteps. He turned around alertly and saw Newt slowly walking towards him from Hogwarts.

"Hello, Newt," Anakin said politely.

"Anakin, hello. What happened recently? Why do you look so... tired?" Newt said with concern. Suddenly, he pointed at Anakin's robe, "Oh, this Bowtruckle is your friend, right?"

Anakin looked down and found that indeed a small, green head poked out of Anakin's robe pocket.

"Ah, yes, it seems a little... timid. Newt, is there anything I can do to help you?" Anakin asked.

Newt showed a smile and held a small box from behind and handed it to Anakin. "This is my gift to you, Mr. Anakin. Open it and take a look."

Anakin took the box and his eyes widened.

No, my box won't just come.

Anakin carefully opened the box sent by Newt and found that there was a deep, dark passage inside. Anakin pretended to be confused and asked: "Newt, please, is this..."

"A box that has been casted with a traceless expansion spell should be the same size as a nature reserve." Newt said with a smile, and Anakin was stunned.

No, the system said it was the same model as Newt, but Newt wouldn’t really have sent his own.

Although this is unlikely, after all, for Newt, grabbing his box is more serious than anything else.

"This... this gift is too expensive! I can't take away someone's love!" Anakin said nervously.

Newt smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome, Mr. Anakin. This box is specially prepared for you. The space inside is very safe and can be used as a safe place to protect some special creatures. Aren't you looking for a place to put Norbert? This is enough. Of course, according to my speculation, she will stay here with you for at least a month, otherwise she will easily hurt you."

Anakin was a little confused: "Newt, but don't you also have a box? Why don't you..."

"I haven't told you yet. I'm leaving soon. I can't stay at Hogwarts for a whole semester. Besides, it's almost my brother's birthday. He, Leta, and Tina Still waiting for me at home."

"Oh, really? Wish him a happy birthday for me," Anakin said.

? ! ! !

He just said his brother, Tina, who else?

Rita?

Leta Lestrange?

The witch who was burned to death by Grindelwald in order to delay Newt's escape?

Is she still alive?

"Wait a minute, the Leta you are talking about is... Leta Lestrange?" Anakin blinked and asked in disbelief.

"Yeah...how do you know about Lita?" Newt was a little confused.

"Oh, it's nothing. I seemed to have seen her before when I was reading the History of Magic." Anakin replied, a little embarrassed. He couldn't ask Newt why she didn't die, that would be rude.

"Newt, thank you for your gift. When you leave, I'll see if I can come and give it to you." Anakin finally said.

Newt smiled and shook his head: "No need, Anakin. I will leave later today. As for the gift, I hope you like it. She is a very special creature, and I trust you will take good care of her."

After saying goodbye to Newt, Anakin returned to the dormitory with the box. Seeing that no one was around, Anakin opened the box and slowly climbed in.

In front of his eyes was a small room made of light-colored wood. The decor in the room was quite plain, with nothing else except a small wooden table and a pair of simple chairs.

Anakin opened the door, but the view outside surprised Anakin.

With this room as the center, different views are displayed all around. In front of the house is a vast forest, with towering trees embracing the house and their shadows dancing. On the left side of the house is a vast ocean, and the sparkling sea surface glows with colorful lights under the sunlight. Anakin could even hear the sound of waves crashing on the rocks in the distance, as if he was in the boundless sea. The other side you turned around was a pure white snowfield. On the snow-covered ground, snowflakes were flying in the air, as pure as a fairyland. The sun shines through the clouds onto the snow, forming a dazzling silvery land.

"Oh my God!" Anakin sighed. The only pity was that the world in the box was a little lifeless.

Probably because there are no magical creatures. Anakin thought.
