Chapter 257: Talking about Experience

Jian Yu was dejected after being forced to withdraw a transfer plan and return to the UK.

Although Grindelwald set fire to her house when she left, and almost burned her to death -

But for some reason, she always felt that the other party's target was not her.

Although he kept calling her 'Miss Scamander', perhaps he already knew that it was just an alias?

He even went to so much trouble to teach her how to deal with Horcruxes... Maybe he just wanted to help her guardian and old lover deal with Voldemort?

For some reason, this somewhat strange guess suddenly popped up in her mind.

But even though she tried hard to fight for herself, she was still severely rejected by Ms. Maxim, who put safety first.

"He will definitely come looking for you. Everyone believes that you will be the key to coercing Dumbledore - you can't stay in Beauxbatons. It can't protect you."

Even her mentor Newt Scamander nodded silently and took the initiative to take on the task of sending her back to England.

But looking at the heaviness on Newt's face, Jian Yu suddenly became curious why Grindelwald shouted his last name when he woke up.

"Do you know Gellert Grindelwald?"

Newt hesitated, nodded, shook his head, and began to talk about their origins:

"I captured Grindelwald once - it was a long time ago, and I know who he is, but I don't think I really know him."

"In 1926, I took a box of magical creatures to America, but they escaped... He disguised himself as the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement..."

From his long recollections, Jian Yu finally understood why Tina had to give her mentor some refreshment from time to time.

Professor Scamander when he was young was really stubborn and brave!

Smuggling magical creatures, escaping prison, fighting Grindelwald, and commanding the Nifflers...

She couldn't help but give him a thumbs up to show her respect!

"Well, as I said, when it comes to animals... my judgment is very poor." Newt showed some shame and shyness. "I caused a lot of trouble at that time. If it weren't for the support and help of Headmaster Dumbledore and Tina, you might have met me in Azkaban or Woolworth Building... Of course, you might not have met me at all after being sent away by Grindelwald."

Hearing this, Jian Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and regret welled up in his heart.

Look at her calling herself Newtie Scamander, and then look at her method of piling Nifflers on Grindelwald to keep him warm...

He even poured him a potion made from Horcruxes, and nearly paralyzed him...

It can be said that he is dancing in a minefield and testing the brink of death!

She wished she could travel back in time and slap her past self!

With such a connection, Grindelwald actually just burned her house with dark magic flames instead of sending her Avatar away directly——

He is such a good man!

But Newt suddenly paused his narration, and he seemed a little confused about whether he should continue talking to her about this topic.

After a while, he seemed to be unable to suppress his desire to complain, so he lowered his voice and spoke softly:

"Do you know about... Headmaster Dumbledore and Grindelwald?"

For a moment, Jane Yu couldn't tell whether Newt was referring to the romantic history between her guardian and Grindelwald or the subsequent duel.

But she felt that it contained some gossip, so she nodded to indicate that she did know something.

"Although I'm just guessing, I think he will most likely come to you... after all, your identity is not a secret." Newt continued.

In fact, she had been meeting Grindelwald for a long time.

Thinking of this, Jian Yu couldn't help but reveal a sad expression.

Newt tilted his head and said in a low voice that you, I and everyone else understand:

"Listen, Jade, if you are unfortunate enough to meet Grindelwald, you must be careful... I suffered a lot of unnecessary pain because of this..."

"For your own safety, if you run into him, try to delay the conversation for as long as possible. When faced with his questions, never give a default answer like 'I don't know'. I think if you're willing to talk to him about what happened in Hogwarts...you know who I mean...he'll be happy to talk for longer."

Jian Yu felt that this sounded like some kind of weird rules. Grindelwald was the boss of the level, and Dumbledore was like the secret book to passing the level.

In her mentor's words, she always felt that there was a strange sense of incongruity between the Grindelwald he described and the Grindelwald she had seen.

Maybe time and age can change a person...right?

Newt took a deep breath, as if a secret he had been carrying for many years had finally been unloaded:

"To be honest, I was really confused back then... I was beaten and sentenced to death for no reason... I just wanted to get my animals back..."

"Sometimes I feel like I'm a communication owl... I come here and have to go there. Headmaster Dumbledore always makes riddles... When I saw the blood alliance between the two of them, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what it was..."

"It took me a long time to realize it. I'm not very sensitive to this kind of thing. When I told Tina about it, she couldn't believe that I hadn't noticed it before... That blood alliance, ah——"

He let out a long sigh, as if mourning his fate of being beaten.

Perhaps because he felt a little embarrassed to talk about this with a student who was much older than him, Newt scratched his hair again:

"Originally, I only dared to tell Tina about these things. Of course, these words are for your safety. Based on experience, I am telling you this."

"After all... ahem... you also know that Headmaster Dumbledore is far more than just a mentor to me... I can't just make random guesses or say this to outsiders... it would be a betrayal of Dumbledore's trust in me... maybe you can understand, Yu?"

Jian Yu looked at him with strange eyes.

Has her upright mentor not gained much emotional intelligence over the years?

She strongly suspected that if Grindelwald heard this, Newt would have to endure another beating from a 100,000-volt lightning whip.

And it was made into meat patties and stuffed into the oven along with the magical animals in his box.

To be honest, based on her years of experience reading novels and stories, she probably understood Newt.

He is probably just an unlucky man who only has magical creatures in his heart and is forced to be involved in the love-hate relationship between Grindelwald and Dumbledore - Dumbledore's favorite student, or perhaps the word "once" should be added.

He also succeeded in attracting the hatred of the enemy with his stubbornness and obstinacy, and was brutally beaten to the ground and threatened with death, all of which were full of personal grudges.

To be honest, Steve, who is a companion on the Internet today, does a better job than him, at least he won't be beaten up.

This story taught her that for the sake of life safety, irrelevant people should never interfere in the emotional disputes of couples.

"I completely understand the friendship between Headmaster Dumbledore and you." She nodded affirmatively to Newt and lit a candle for him, hoping that he would never meet Grindelwald again. "I also believe that if you meet Grindelwald again, he will definitely mourn for you."

Newt tilted his head, sensing again that something was wrong.

But he still showed a generous and warm badger smile.

After all, this is the understanding from the students——

Long live understanding!
