Chapter 8: 008: An Unquiet Night
In the alley next to the church of the Second Salem.
Credence leaned against the wall with a dejected expression, a lonely figure in the darkness.
Percival Graves apparitions in the alleys, he is the Minister of Security of the Magical Congress, the Director of the Law Enforcement Department of the Magical Congress, the Chief Auror of the Magical Congress, and his family has a lot of influence in the American magical political community.
Of course, this middle-aged, well-dressed, and suave high-ranking official of the Magic Congress has already been dropped.
His true identity is Gellert Grindelwald, who was the most dangerous wizard before Voldemort appeared.
"Mr. Grevis!"
Credence expressed surprise at Percival's arrival, and Percival walked over and asked gently, "You're so disappointed that someone has said something to you again, isn't it?" ”
"Do you think I'm a monster?" Credence asked.
Percival placed his hand on Credence's shoulder, and Credence was stunned and obsessed by the skin-to-skin contact with the others, and he closed his eyes, the restless power in his body seemed to subside.
"You're not a monster, Credence, you're a very special young man, in fact, I trust you very much, out of so many people, only you can have my trust."
Percival put his hands on Credence's shoulders and pretended to be warm, "If you want to integrate into the wizarding world, I will help you, as long as you find that child, you will be free." ”
Credence looked grateful, and said embarrassedly, "I can't find it, sir, I don't know if he's a man or a woman......"
"No, Credence, you can find him, he was wreaking havoc in the streets that day, I foresaw it, he was standing by you and your mother, and you could gain his trust. Credence, he's right next to you, no more than ten years old, be sure to find him. ”
Percival let go of his hand, and the apparition vanished. The darkness quickly engulfed Credens, and the violent, unstable force revived, and Credence succumbed to the image of Senator Shaw saying he was a trash and a monster.
……
Queenie's apartment.
Jacob lay on the bed, carrying a copy of Cassandra and her cat Gustavus, trying to make sense of it. On the cover, a yellow kitten jumps around, and the photos of the wizarding world are all moving, and Queenie says that she uses a development potion with a special effect.
Hu Qing turned sideways to read "The Magic of Chadwick", which was the textbook for Queenie's school, the Ilvermorny School of Magic and Witchcraft. There were many, many spells listed, but Hu Qing was disappointed. Because there is no mention of the mystery of magic at all, how magic is inherited, how it is cultivated, this part of the content is unknown.
Hu Qing has watched Harry Potter movies and novels, but it has been too long, and the plot has almost forgotten, and what impresses him more is the Harry Potter trio, Voldemort, Dumbledore and other main characters and some main plots, and the details can no longer be remembered.
He doesn't have a good memory, and it's hard to recognize who is who he has dated a year ago (too many, squint and laugh), whose name is what, not to mention movies and novels. Even the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", some plots can't be remembered.
Hu Qing is very envious of the protagonist in the novel, he never forgets it, and the millions of words of the novel in his previous life are copied as he says, word for word, cow criticism!
"May I come in?"
Tina knocked tentatively on the door, and when she was answered, she walked in, dressed in patterned blue pajamas, carrying three hot drinks on a tray that stirred automatically.
"I think you're going to want a hot drink."
"Thank you, you're so sweet." Jacob took the cup, took a deep breath of the aroma, and praised it obsessively.
Tina smiled happily, she is also a beautiful girl, but she is too dull like Newt, ambitious, not very popular with men, Hu Qing is not interested in her, she and Newt are quite compatible.
"Yours."
"Thanks, where's Queenie?"
"She's making hot cocoa," Tina said. ”
Hu Qing lifted the quilt and ran out of the room with a hot drink, Tina couldn't stop it, she looked depressed, but Newt didn't appreciate it, pretended to sleep sideways, ignored her enthusiasm, Tina put his cup heavily on the bedside table, and left angrily.
……
Hu Qing walked up to Queenie with a hot drink, and Queenie turned her head and said, "Hot cocoa will be ready soon, honey, wait a minute." ”
"But I can't wait." Hu Qing put down the cup and hugged Queenie from behind, he has always been an offensive hunter, Queenie was startled.
"Don't do that, dear ......"
"Ahem!"
Tina's cough sounded, and Hu Qing let go of Queenie and said to Tina, "The hot drink you made tastes good, Tina." ”
"Queenie, you have to think clearly." Tina glared at Hu Qing and turned to leave.
"She's worried about me." Queenie whispered, "She doesn't think you're reliable enough." ”
Hu Qing asked, "Then what about you, what are you afraid of?" ”
"You're going back to China, aren't you?" Queenie asked with concern.
"What's wrong with this, I'll take you with me when I go back to China, Tina can go to China with us if she wants, of course, you think it's good to live in the United States, you can stay in the United States, for wizards, it's only a small step."
A bright smile appeared on Queenie's face, Hu Qing didn't give her a chance to refuse, hugged her domineeringly, and kissed her fiercely, Queenie's struggle gradually weakened.
A roar rang out in the winter night, waking up the two of them who had forgotten to kiss, and Tina stepped out of her room, opening the living room window and peering into the darkness.
"What's wrong?" Hu Qing asked.
Tina ran into Newt and Jacob's room, rushed out to get dressed with a look of anger, and vanished without giving Hu Qing and Queenie time to react.
Queenie looked at the empty room with an uneasy expression, Hu Qing was not surprised, Newt would definitely go to find his animals.
"Don't worry, Tina and Newt are both wizards, they can handle it." Hu Qing said as he put his arm around Queenie's shoulder.
"I'm used to it, Tina is a professional woman, and I used to be an Auror and came back late, dear, it's late, let's rest early." Queenie said indifferently.
"It's not quiet tonight, you may need someone to accompany you." Hu Qing meant something.
Queenie blinked and nudged his chest with a finger, "It's too fast, go to sleep." ”
"Okay."
The boiled duck can't fly, and Hu Qing is not in a hurry, he has something more important than rolling the sheets with Queenie tonight, that is, opening the Taoist book in his dream.
Lying on the single bed, Hu Qing rested his head and hands in a daze, a thick tiredness hit, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he once again entered the dream of Taoism.
