When it comes to the ranking of Gellert Grindelwald's most hated characters in ancient and modern times, Newt Scamander must be in the top three.None of the tabloids had reported the list, though, or Mr. Scamander, Jr., would have lost his mind. There must have been an entire Atlantic Ocean.

"That's Scamander, an employee of our Zoological Institute," the Ministry of Magic official—someone from the Department of Magical Cooperation—smiled, and gestured to the Aurors.The tallest Auror put his arms around Newt's shoulders, and the young man struggled, "Oh, Merlin, this is murder—"

"I know him," Gellert glanced at the watch cover, and the little stars danced. "This gentleman assigned me a crazy house-elf who was disobedient and cooked inedible food. I remember complaining several times, but never getting a reply from the British Ministry of Magic."

"Get away—it's too late—" Newt was still yelling.

"Let him go!" The official blew his beard and stared.The tall Auror tried to drag Newt out of the stands, but Gellert got excited. "Who did he say to get away? We—"

Before the words were finished, a shrill scream suddenly came from the maze, and at the same time, a bright red spark rose into the sky with a "bang" - at this time the signal for help must have occurred, something terrible that the three warriors could not handle must have occurred. ACCIDENT.

"My God," Newt roared excitedly over the buzzing buzz in the stands, "something happened...he's here!"

The officials of the Ministry of Magic looked at each other, "He's talking nonsense," the official grinned at Gellert, his fat face turned red and white, "We've discussed many options, and they are all safe... no problem, it must be The Warriors are so nervous...it's easy to fix..."

"That's not a Sphinx!" Taking advantage of the Auror's vigilance, Newt once again shot Gellert a distressed look, "Mr. Grindelwald—"

Gellert pushed past the blocking arms of the British officials and made his way to the bottom of the stands.Five or six Aurors rushed into the maze through the alternate entrance, but immediately there were more screams. "What's going on?" Gellert waved his wand, and the tall Auror's fingers seemed to be scalded by sparks, and he immediately let go of Newt's robe, "What are you talking about, what Sphinx?"

"Sphinxes are a kind of magical creatures, you may have heard of, in Muggle mythology... Muggles have seen them too, sir" Newt panted, "they have human heads— "

"Get to the point." Gellert interrupted him impatiently, "I know what a sphinx is, and then?"

"Then, they caught the wrong magical creature!" Newt's nose was beaded with sweat, his pupils constricted in fear, "They—they caught the wrong creature! I told you, I'm not at ease with the Ministry of Magic, they I don’t know about magical creatures, and I don’t bother to know about them! Professor Dumbledore comforted me, saying that this is the first time the event has been resumed, and no level five monsters will be introduced. But I am still worried, and I asked an acquaintance to check the import records -"

"Get to the point!" Gellert took out his wand and raised it vigilantly.At this time, the ground trembled, and more Aurors surrounded the exit of the maze, moving forward tentatively.Newt glanced at the tall Auror, "No, Theseus! That's, that's a manticore! One of the most dangerous magical creatures, level five! With a human head and a lion's body And the tail of the poisonous scorpion! Don't be stung by the poisonous needle, it is very poisonous!"

Accompanied by Newt's rapid-fire explanation, a gap was opened in the maze surrounded by bushes.There was still a bloody shadow of the setting sun on the horizon, shining obliquely on the grass.All the people in the venue heard a strange singing, like a madman singing softly, or a waltz with a different key.

"...Merlin's beard," Newt murmured, subconsciously grabbing Gellert's sleeve with one hand and the tall Auror with the other, "the manticore is about to eat! "

A monster, like the wildest nightmare a child could ever try to conjure up—the head of a boy, the body of a lion, the tail of a huge, poisonous scorpion, the stinger glowing ominously purple.His stiff face seemed to be covered with human skin, and he could only keep smiling.There was blood dripping from the corner of the monster's smiling mouth, perhaps it came from the screaming warrior.He stared at a big Auror with interest, his smile deepened slowly, and the eerie singing became clearer... The monster suddenly attacked, pounced on the Auror, and bit his neck.

There was an uproar in the Quidditch stadium, the students screamed hysterically, and several junior children tripped over their robes and fell from the stands.Gellert shook off Newt, picked up the two crying students, and threw them to Slughorn. "Take them away," he said, jumping off the stands.The monster had the big Auror in its mouth, and the hapless wretch hung his head and twitched, obviously dying.

"Everyone, get out of here—" Gellert cast a voice amplification spell on himself, "Go away, I'll deal with it—"

"No," Newt actually jumped into the arena, following Gellert, still babbling, "No, Mr. Grindelwald, don't kill him! He's still a cub! He was forcibly taken from the mother beast. Taken away! His mother was killed! Please don't kill him, he's still young—”

"Shut up, Mr. Scamander!" Gellert snapped. "Get out, didn't you hear what I just said? Everyone, including you!"

Another Auror attacked from the side, and a little red star hit the manticore, and it bounced off. "Ordinary spells don't work!" Newt yelled. "No, this doesn't work! His skin can resist most spells!" The spells didn't work, but they enraged the dangerous monster.It let go, dropped the big Auror, and started attacking the nearest human.

"When I finish this thing, I'll cut off your tongue first." Gellert cast out a spell coldly, experimentally hit the manticore on the front leg, but it really didn't work, then Thing just reversed direction and let out a piercing laugh at him.

"Most spells don't work, huh?" Gellert whispered, "Come on, let's try something else, boy." With a touch of the wand, blue flames erupted flat, surrounding the manticore. In the meantime.The monster screamed and slapped the flames, but immediately retracted its claws in pain.Seemingly useful, Gellert turned his wand, causing the circle of fire to gradually shrink.The manticore wanted to break out, but every time it touched the flames, it was in unbearable pain.It whined and circled in vain in the circle of fire.Its mane was scorched, and a mist filled the monster's eyes...

"He's still a child!" Newt hadn't given up yet, "Mr. Grindelwald, please, don't kill him!"

"Child? It's just a monster, beast," Gellert snorted, watching the Aurors carrying their wounded comrades away before walking forward, "Animals that hurt people have no value in existence, Scarman Mr De."

"It's too narrow for you to say that!" Newt took a step forward and opened his arms crookedly towards the monster. "Oh, no, he's a very precious magical animal, and—"

"Idiot, stop!" Gellert yelled angrily.The manticore may not be incinerated by blue flames, but this stubborn troublemaker certainly will.He raised his wand flatly, intending to be the first to fully contract the circle of fire.At this moment, the monster decided to make a final fight, roaring, and stretched out its claws at Newt.

"Get out of the way!" Gellert pushed Newt aside with all his strength, and then he felt a gust of wind, and his sharp teeth tore his flesh.
