But they did not see Kyle as they wished.

"What, he's out?"

"Yeah, just ten minutes ago." Chris said, "Mr. Scamander thought it was time for Kyle to go out and broaden his horizons, so he took him out during this holiday."

He opened the door and let the two in, "I guess you haven't had breakfast yet."

"No need, we ..."

Before Fred could even ask, he smelled a very special aroma, which seemed to be grilled steak, but also had an indescribable fragrance, like morning dew or freshly picked fruit.

The two men's noses seemed to be grasped by something, and they walked into the house unconsciously.

Chris smiled and waved his wand, and two steaming, fragrant steaks floated out of the kitchen and landed on an empty plate on the dining table.

"The hind legs of the giant horned beast are also the favorite food of the black dragons of the Hexagonal Islands."

Chris smiled and said, "This kind of creature is not found in the UK. Mr. Scamander brought it here specially. Come and try it and see how it tastes."

"Then we won't be polite." Fred and George sat down at the table and couldn't help cutting a piece of steak and putting it in their mouths.

It is indeed delicious. Not only does the Hexagonal Black Dragon like it, they like it too.

In almost the blink of an eye, half the steak disappeared.

"What are we doing here..." Fred always felt that he should ask something, but he swallowed the words back along with the steak as soon as they reached his lips.

Never mind, let’s eat first…

…

At the same time, Kyle had followed Newt to a remote place surrounded by mountains, and they were now on the top of one of the mountains.

"South of Romania..." Newt pointed in the direction opposite them, "Go straight ahead from here and you'll reach Bulgaria. I've walked this road many times and I remember it very clearly."

Kyle glanced at him and said slowly, "So this must not be an official road, right?"

"At least the Portkeys we used were obtained through legitimate means."

Newt put a brooch into his pocket and said with some admiration, "This is really good. I spent a lot of effort to get certain specific door keys. I even received fake ones. I spent a lot of Galleons, but the destination was actually somewhere else."

Kyle knew he was talking about his experience of sending magical animals around the world decades ago, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What happened to the man who sold you the fakes? Didn't you go look for him?"

"Of course they looked, but they couldn't find it," Newt said, "That's normal, after all, reselling portkeys is illegal, and they never stay in the same place for too long.

"But I heard that person seemed to have done something, and suddenly one day he became a hero in his country."

Kyle tried to keep a straight face... Selling counterfeit goods and becoming a national hero is rare even in the wizarding world... But if it was a portkey, and it happened to Newt, it didn't seem so puzzling.

After all, he saved his country from a disaster... It's just the title of a hero, which is not excessive.

"Then how did you know?" Kyle continued to ask: "Did he write to you?"

"No, I heard it from someone else who was reselling the portkeys, and it seems that he even returned the Galleons to me... I dare say that the owl that sent the Galleons flew for at least a month. When it found me, it was already skinny and boneless. What a poor little thing."

Newt didn't seem to want to discuss his experiences when he was young. He looked around, as if looking for someone...

"Strange, Dumbledore said that the person who is responsible for picking us up is nearby, and he also said that we can recognize her at a glance... Where is she?"

"It seems that you are the ones I've been waiting for." At this time, a low voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Newt turned around first, then looked up to see the other person's full appearance.

Madam Maxime of Beauxbatons... Her nearly ten-foot height is so recognizable.

"Oh, what a wonderful Disillusionment Charm."

"Although I would like to accept your compliment, I actually used an illusion spell, and the real me is actually somewhere else."

Ms. Maxime smiled and said, "I'm afraid there is no one in the entire wizarding world who is better at the Disillusionment Charm than you. If I use this magic, I will definitely be discovered."

Newt smiled but said nothing.

At this time, Kyle also noticed that there was something like a mirror hidden under Ms. Maxime's feet, but because it was hidden in the pile of leaves, they didn't notice it just now.

A moment later, with a slight explosion, the real Ms. Maxim also came, she stretched out her hand and said:

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Scamander. Your work has always been the most important textbook in Beauxbatons."

“It’s my pleasure.” Newt also extended his hand.

"And you Kyle, it's nice we meet again."

"Me too, Ms. Maxime," Kyle said with a smile.

"I heard that you have done a lot of great things this year, and were even hired as an exception by the British Ministry of Magic?"

"It's just a minor incident, nothing serious," Kyle said.

"You are too modest..." Madam Maxime shook her head. "Under normal circumstances, the French Ministry of Magic would not employ a sixth-year student. I believe it is the same in your country."

"I really regret not knocking you out and taking you away." She said half-jokingly, "But your status is different now. If you do this again, it will become an international dispute."

Kyle pulled the corner of his mouth and quickly changed the subject: "What are we here for?"

"Oh, you didn't know?" Ms. Maxime looked at Newt with interest, "Didn't you tell him?"

"I forgot." Newt patted his head. "Well, it's not too late to tell you now. The main reason we came out this time is because of the giants."

"Giant?" Kyle suddenly realized. No wonder the person responsible for picking them up was Ms. Maxime. He just didn't know why Hagrid didn't come.

"Tell me about the situation now," Newt said.

"It's a bit tricky." Ms. Maxime's voice became much deeper. "I have been keeping an eye on their movements recently. Their Gogogogo has completely sided with the Death Eaters. He is currently leading the tribe to migrate. Judging from the direction, the destination is Britain."

"Already taking action?" Newt frowned. "Why so fast?"

"Because of the Death Eaters." Madam Maxime said, "A black-robed wizard went to the cave of Gogoma yesterday, and they began to migrate at night."

"We must stop them." Newt said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, the Muggle villages along the way will be in trouble."

"One has already been destroyed." Madam Maxime shook her head and sighed, "Hagrid and I had just moved those Muggles away when dozens of giants flattened the village."

Hearing this, Newt didn't waste any more time and prepared to rush over immediately.

But Ms. Maxime signaled him not to be too anxious.

"We've checked. There's no other village on their path in the short term. Hagrid is also watching. If anything happens, he will contact me as soon as possible."

"No, you're wrong." Newt said seriously, "Giants are brutal by nature. They will actively seek out and approach places with life rather than taking the shortest route."

Ms. Maxim did not doubt the truthfulness of Newt's words. If there was anyone who knew giants better than her, it must be the person in front of her, so she immediately quickened her pace.

"Come with me, they are not far away..."

On the way, Newt looked at Kyle who was still confused and asked, "Are you confused about why I asked you to come here?"

Logically speaking, if Newt wanted to find help, his father Chris would definitely be the first choice, and that's what they did before.

"That's because Chris is too conspicuous," Newt said. "If he suddenly disappears from the Ministry of Magic, the Death Eaters will probably guess that we are going to attack the giants, and they may send more people, including other members of the Order of the Phoenix.

"But you are different. You are relatively not that big of a target. Even if you leave for a while, you won't attract the attention of the Death Eaters."

...Is it because I am insignificant? Kyle curled his lips. Although what he said was true, he still felt a little unhappy.

Who do you look down upon?

But Kyle quickly thought of something else and asked, "But yesterday at the station, a lot of people must have seen you, right? Is that okay?"

"Of course not." Newt said with a smile, "In fact, at this time, the British "me" has already gone in the direction of the Black Forest."

"Black Forest?"

“That’s where the werewolves were last seen,” Newt said. “Although their problems are equally troublesome, the giants are more troublesome.”

"And the reason I asked you to come here this time is not just to help. In fact, with Madam Maxime and Hagrid here, it's enough."

"Why is that?" Kyle asked puzzled.

"The main purpose is to get you used to the war in advance," Newt said. "We actually discussed it together and agreed that it is necessary to adapt in advance before the real war comes, and Chris also agreed."

"Did my mother agree too?" Kyle asked subconsciously.

For some reason, Newt did not answer the question, but changed the subject abruptly: "In fact, what you are doing now is what Chris and Diana did...

"They fought against giants, trolls, werewolves... They kept most of the dark creatures out of the battlefield. Otherwise, the outcome of the last war would have been much more tragic than it was now."

"That's right." Ms. Maxime, who was at the front, said seriously, "In war, dark creatures can play a much greater role than usual... Oh, we're here."

As he was speaking, another huge figure suddenly jumped out from the side, holding a huge crossbow with a fully drawn string in his hand.

"It's us, Hagrid, don't be nervous..."

Hagrid let go of the bowstring only after he saw who was coming.

"I'm sorry, Olymp," said Hagrid, and then he asked, "Has the person Professor Dumbledore was talking about arrived?"

"We're here." Ms. Maxime turned sideways, revealing the two people behind her.

"Mr. Scamander, I knew it was you, and Kyle...

"Hmm? Wait..."

Hagrid was stunned at first, then suddenly realized something, "Kyle, why are you here? Did you follow me secretly? Go back!"

"No, Hagrid," said Newt. "I brought Kyle here, and Dumbledore agreed."

"What?" Hagrid said in disbelief, "But he's still a student... Are all the members of the Order of the Phoenix dead? They let a student who hasn't even graduated come to such a dangerous place. Giants are not trolls. They are much more dangerous than most Death Eaters."

"Of course I know that," Newt said, "but our goal this time is not to kill all the giants, and with us here, Kyle won't be in any danger."

When saying this, Newt appeared calm and confident.

Hagrid hesitated for a while, but finally said nothing. He just looked at Kyle and reminded him, "Okay, but you must follow me closely and don't run around."

Kyle naturally agreed.

"Hagrid, where are they?" Maxim asked.

"It's over there." Hagrid pointed to a valley not far away. "Because there were Death Eaters following me, I didn't dare get too close, but it's the same here."

The three of them looked in the direction of his finger.

Just like Hagrid said, you don't need to be close to observe the movements of the giants... because they are too conspicuous.

Dozens of giants moving together can be seen clearly even from miles away.

In the valley far away, a group of giants are advancing at an incredible speed. They seem to be moving slowly, but each of their steps is huge, so the actual situation is much faster.

"What should we do?" Hagrid asked. "The last time I came with Olim, the talks broke down. The giant Goog doesn't trust us. If we meet again, we will definitely fight. We are no match for so many giants."

"We don't need to deal with all the giants." Newt stood on the top of the hill and observed for a while, and said with a serious expression: "It seems that some of those giants are unwilling."

"That's right." Hagrid nodded. "About half of the giants are dissatisfied with the rule of the Tall Horses and don't want to go against the wizards, but they are small and can't resist at all."

"That's much easier." Newt thought for a moment, "As long as we can find a way to get rid of the giant Gugo, they will have to return to the tribe and choose a new Gugo.

"As long as Shin Gogo refuses to cooperate with the Death Eaters, this giant crisis will be resolved."

"It's not easy. He's at least twenty feet tall." Maxim said worriedly, "And the giants are all acting together. We can't separate them. If we want to kill him, we have to deal with all the giants."

“We have to try it,” Newt said, then he looked at Kyle, “Do you have a box with you?”

"Of course," Kyle said.

Since he was going on a long journey, how could he not bring his own suitcase?

"Okay then." Newt also took out a box and said meaningfully, "Giants and dragons are naturally hostile to each other, and the fire that dragons spew out is what they hate the most. This is the best way to cause chaos among the giants."

"I see." Kyle nodded and took out a box as well.

Then, in Ms. Maxime's incredulous eyes, two huge adult fire dragons appeared in front of her out of thin air.

"Oh, Merlin..." She stared at the two huge monsters in front of her in amazement and subconsciously took two steps back.

Hagrid, on the contrary, had his eyes full of fascination, and even wanted to go forward and touch the scales that were glittering in the sun.

"Hungarian Horntail, and Norwegian Thornback... Nor, Norbert?"

Hagrid was suddenly stunned. He always felt that the Norwegian Spinosaurus in front of him looked very familiar.

And what responded to him was a breath filled with joy.

Apparently, Norbert also recognized Hagrid and greeted him out of habit.

But it seemed to have forgotten that its body shape was no longer the same as before.

Before, when it greeted Hagrid, it could only spit out a small flame, but now...

Two pillars of scorching fire fell from the sky. Fortunately, Maxim was quick-witted and stretched out his leg in time to kick Hagrid to the side.

"You're crazy, Hagrid," she shouted, frowning. "It's a dragon!"

"Oh, it's okay, Olympe." Hagrid dusted himself off and got up from the ground. "This is the dragon I hatched. I don't think it means any harm. It was just so excited to see me again that it didn't pay attention for a moment."

"Oh...it still remembers me, little Norbert." Hagrid said happily.
