【GGAD ABO】Nirvana

In May in Potsdam, after a light rain, the white clouds and blue sky were clear and clear.The hills are low and rolling, and the trees are towering and lush.On the sparkling Harwell River, a few white waterfowls flitted past, the steamboat emitted thick smoke, and its siren blared.

"...Wow." Newt Scamander opened his mouth in amazement.The spray of the fountain rose high, and he took a step back, hiding discreetly behind the manicured hedge.Compared with the magnificence of ordinary palaces, Sanssouci Palace is beautiful and elegant, and the dome is dazzling in the sun.Especially in the terraced garden in front of the palace, all kinds of flowers are blooming, and the shelves are covered with vines, which seem to be grapes.Although Newt is not good at architecture, this does not prevent him from loving the German emperor's summer palace. "It's beautiful," he said, clutching the suitcase. "Bring Tina over to see it later."

A gust of wind blew, and the branches and leaves of those vines swayed gently like rolling green waves.Newt decided to venture closer. He wanted to see the marble statues, but he had to avoid the Muggles. He had just been so excited that he was almost spotted by the patrolling guards.

He re-cast the spell on himself, and tiptoed forward.The marble statue was supposed to be a figure from Greek mythology, he guessed, intending to move a few feet closer.Just before the success, someone quietly appeared behind the British wizard. "Stay still," the man said in English, in a strange tone. "Turn around, Mr. Scamander—don't try to run away."

Newt was taken aback. He thought he was doing well.And the other party called out his name!He didn't think that anyone in the German court would come to the office and ask for an adjustment in the list so that the house-elves could be allocated earlier.Newt turned around obediently, hugged the suitcase tightly, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Grindelwald!"

Gellert Grindelwald stood there, dressed in elegant Muggle attire, wearing a top hat, and carrying a cane.In the clear sunlight, Newt could clearly see the subtle dark lines on the fabric.The official of the Prussian Magical Government was as handsome and sullen as ever, his strange eyes fixed on the intruder in front of him as if to poke a hole in Newt's face.

"Why are you here?" Grindelwald said coldly, "This is not a park."

"I'm coming... I heard that the Palace of Sanssouci is beautiful." Newt was at a loss, his ears burning, "I think—"

"Have you registered?" Grindelwald said, "Foreign wizards entering Prussia must register with the Federation."

"Of course, sir, I registered yesterday, and I was greeted by a beautiful lady." Newt lowered his eyes and explained, "I didn't mean to barge in here...It's really beautiful here, sir, like a fairy garden."

Grindelwald smiled grimly, with a hint of creepiness against the blue sky.Newt knew that Grindelwald hated him, though he couldn't find out why.He optimistically believes that as an alpha, Grindelwald just has such a personality, because he has heard many stories about the Prussian wizard who lost his temper. "It's beautiful," Grindelwald said flatly, "otherwise, why would Friedrich come here to escape the summer heat?" He waved his hand, motioning for Newt to follow.Newt clutched his suitcase, nervously refusing, "No, sir, we can't go out, we'll be found out, I—"

"Shut up." Grindelwald glared at him.A group of guards passed by, stopped when they saw him, and saluted him.Newt opened his mouth halfway, and when the guards disappeared at the end of the path, he asked in astonishment, "Do they know you?"

"nonsense."

"Isn't this really the Dementor Curse?"

Grindelwald's eyes were like sharp knives, Newt immediately chose to be quiet, and sat on the marble chair in the garden as instructed. "Tell me," Grindelwald looked at him domineeringly, "what are you doing in Prussia?"

"I'm here to look for magical animals," Newt said. "I heard that there are many... many kinds of magical animals living in the Black Forest, so I want to come and see."

"You don't go to work?"

"No, sir, I've been transferred. I'm out of the house-elf resettlement office, and transferred to the animal house. But the salary remains the same, two Sickles a week, sir."

Grindelwald snorted, and Newt noticed that he had a fine chain of solid gold pinned to his chest, and a string of Central European-style silver ornaments.These moguls love to dress up, and they have enough galleons, too. "Leave as soon as you've seen enough," Grindelwald said, "It's just a summer palace, nothing special."

"The Palace of Sanssouci is beautiful," Newt couldn't help retorting, "it's so beautiful, have you noticed, its semi-circular dome and the corridors on both sides have a unique style—"

"Isn't it Rococo style? If you walk around more, you will find it everywhere." Grindelwald said mockingly, "Go and study your animals, Scamander, don't be here like a country bumpkin." Staring at your straw hair."

"I'll be leaving," Newt stood up holding his suitcase, "but why are you here?"

"I'm here to visit relatives." Grindelwald fiddled with the gold chain on his chest, "...Wait, have you been to Hogwarts recently?"

"Before I left England, I went there." Mentioning his alma mater, Newt felt inexplicably relieved, "The architectural style of Hogwarts is different from that of Sanssouci Palace, I can tell," he said Said, finding that Grindelwald's face was getting more and more gloomy, he quickly added, "Of course, the buildings in both places are beautiful, although Hogwarts is the best place in my heart, Mr. Grindelwald, but worry-free The palace does have something unique..."

"Hurry up and get out." Grindelwald fiddled with his cane, his tone full of impatience.But Newt couldn't stop talking. When he mentioned Hogwarts, he couldn't help gushing, "...I met my former teacher, Professor Dumbledore. He was still so kind and invited me to have afternoon tea. My sniff Snuff took his teaspoon, damn it, I didn't notice until I got home... I asked the owl to return the teaspoon to Professor Dumbledore, but he said it was all right, he liked my Sniff."

"The thing that looks like a groundhog?" Grindelwald's face gradually brightened, "What else did you talk about?"

"We, we talked about the Trifinals, I think you probably heard, the competition held by the three magic schools. We agreed that although this competition was dangerous, it was meaningful." Newt tried his best to recall, "I once told the Ministry of Magic The Department of Education made a few suggestions, but I don't think they listened to them at all. I told Professor Dumbledore, and he reassured me that the Ministry of Magic would not import magical animals with a danger index above level four... This is an inter-school school after all. The participants are all students." He sighed, "I'm not that optimistic, sir, after all, as far as I know, most people don't know anything about Fantastic Beasts."

"They don't have the courage." Grindelwald said, "Is there any more? You just talked about the three-finals?"

"We," Newt twitched, his ears starting to burn again, "we also talked about my wedding... I invited Professor Dumbledore, and he happily agreed."

"You're getting married?" Grindelwald said dryly, "Congratulations."

Even with the dry congratulations, Newt still accepted, "Thank you, sir. I am very happy to have met Tina... We know each other like a half-body soul. Professor Dumbledore and I discussed some omega issues, He's very curious and sincere. He's an omega, I think you know...he's not married yet, but he might be planning to, so he asked me a few notes..."

"He intends to get married?" Grindelwald's voice suddenly became severe, "With whom?"

"Didn't he tell you?" Newt said blankly. "I thought he would—I don't really know, I just heard rumors, and he seemed calm and happy. He used to carry A little sad, I don't understand why. Fortunately, this time I saw him, his sadness disappeared...he looked very happy. That's about it," he looked at Grindelwald's face, and hugged the suitcase even tighter. Tight, "That's all, sir, no more."

"Okay." Grindelwald's handsome face seemed to be rolling with a layer of summer rain clouds, "You can get out, right now, right away."
