[HP+ Fantastic Beasts] Fallen

Anita babbled for a while, and then gave Abu a book of poems to pass the time.

The waiting time is always difficult. Abu looked at the poetry collection in a daze, and he didn't know how much he had read, and his anxiety accumulated bit by bit.

Until Dumbledore opened the door and came in, followed by Riddle.

"Little Mr. Malfoy," Dumbledore looked at him, "Aurors found Legris' hair in the cabin, and now the Ministry of Magic and our people are looking for Legris."

With the expected answer, Abu nodded to indicate that he understood, and his eyes met Riddle behind him.

In those black eyes, there was rarely anxiety and eagerness.

Noticing Abu's gaze, Dumbledore explained, "I checked a lot of documents last night, but I didn't find the answer... But one thing I can be sure of is that this is not the result that any white magic can bring about."

When he said this, he paused, "There is a person who knows much more about black magic than me."

"Ge..." Abu understood, and as soon as he uttered a word, Dumbledore put his finger on his lips, signaling him to keep silent.

"I happened to meet Tom on the way. It was much more convenient for him to go to that man's place than mine, so I asked him to help me."

Indeed, it must be much more convenient for Riddle to go to Gellert Grindelwald than anyone else, "I'll just change my clothes... My parents should be on the way here, the school should trouble the professor to deal with it gone."

After changing the hospital gown and putting on the clothes that Warren helped him put on the bedside, Abu walked up to Riddle and said, "Let's go."

"Come with me, I have a door key in my dormitory." Riddle touched his cold cheek, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Abu's mind was still a little confused, but he subconsciously chose to believe Riddle, and told him what he had told Dumbledore, and then handed him the note with doubts without saying anything.

Riddle is a smart man, he quickly guessed what was going on, and he also remembered Abu's unreasonable irritability in the empty classroom before, "No wonder you look so tired recently... If I found out earlier——"

"It's not your problem," Abu interrupted him stiffly, closing his eyes forcefully, "We can't do anything if we find out."

"There will be a way, the teacher will have a way." Riddle seemed to be persuading Abu, and he seemed to be persuading himself.

After speaking, they rushed to Riddle's dormitory. Riddle opened a drawer, and inside was a beautiful bronze key. He turned his head to look at Abu, and stretched out his hand, "Hold me tightly."

At such a time, Abu was not hypocritical and held the boy's hand tightly.

The other party's hands were slightly cold and wet with sweat, Abu's heart moved, and Riddle...was he so scared?

In the next second, Abu felt as if there was a hook behind the navel and slammed forward with irresistible momentum, and then he lifted his feet off the ground and flew up.It flew forward like a gust of wind, and I couldn't see anything clearly*.

When he landed on the ground, Abu found himself being held firmly in Riddle's arms.

He coughed lightly to signal Riddle to let go of his arm, and then withdrew from his arms.

"This is a manor of the teacher," Riddle explained. "The Portkey cannot go directly to Newgarmond Prison. I will take you to Apparate there later."

"Ah."

Riddle called a few saints out, gave them a few words, and then naturally hugged Abu into his arms, "Hold me tight."

Abu hesitated for a moment, and hugged the boy's thin and strong waist. He didn't want to lose an arm or a thigh because of apparition.

Riddle's apparition was very stable, but it was still unavoidable to feel a kind of motion sickness. Before Abu could recover, Riddle stuffed a mint into his mouth.

I don't know when he got the mints.

"...Thank you." The cool taste of mint made Abu feel better, and he thanked him in a low voice.

Nugarmond Prison was just a few hundred meters in front of him, and the tall tower looked even more desolate under the cold, white winter sun. Abren Riddle took his hand and walked forward, not wanting to worry about these details.

The process of entering Newgarmond Prison was much simpler than imagined. The guards turned a blind eye to them, and some even bowed to Riddle—Abu saw that he was wearing the symbol of the saint on his chest.

It seems that it's not that Grindelwald can't come out, but that he doesn't want to come out, otherwise, a Nugarmond will not be able to stop the Dark Lord's pace no matter what.

Grindelwald's cell was on the top floor, and the tower was equipped with an elevator-like device. Soon they stood in front of Grindelwald through the iron bars.

Grindelwald in the cell was much older than he remembered, and his spirited look was gone, even the radiant blond hair was as dim as withered grass.

"teacher."

"Mr Grindelwald."

Riddle pulled Abu and saluted respectfully.

"Don't be so respectful," said Grindelwald, who was sitting at the desk, "someone has already reported it to me, tell me, what's the matter."

As soon as Abu was about to speak, Riddle squeezed his hand and said in a low voice, "Let me come, see if there is anything wrong and add it."

Considering that his emotions were gradually wandering on the verge of losing control again, Abu nodded and agreed.

Grindelwald in the cell noticed their small movements and chuckled lightly.

Riddle repeated what Abu told him in full, and also read the doubtful points on the note to Grindelwald.

Grindelwald originally had a carefree expression, but after hearing this, his expression gradually became serious. He stood up from the desk and approached them.

"Little Malfoy," Grindelwald looked at Abu's face, "I ask you, have you ever had your blood taken by that girl?"

"...Blood?" Abu thought suspiciously. In his impression, Legris probably never got his blood. "Probably not."

"Think about it carefully," Grindelwald turned the ring on his hand while thinking, "even a little bit."

In the messy thoughts, Abu had a splitting headache to find the memories of unknown years and months.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the ring on Grindelwald's hand——

Ring... Ring... Legris... Ring...

Abu suddenly realized, "It's the ring——"

Legris's chrysoberyl opal ring that scratched the back of his hand.

He also felt strange at the time, because few people would grind the cat's eye gemstones into sharp edges and corners, and generally this type of gemstones are round in shape.

I thought it was just Legrich's perverse personality and unique hobbies, but now it seems that all of this was premeditated.

Seeing Abu's sudden realization, Grindelwald laughed and sat back on the chair, recovering a bit of vigor.

"That's right, you asked the right person."

The author has something to say:
