After long time of searching, Grindelwald finds Annie, who is the cousin of Credence. She was living a normal life until she met Grindelwald, she finds out how powerful she is. She is part of the Dumbledore family, and she joins Grindelwald's army...
Annie enjoyed her days in the castle. She liked it's old feeling. Queenie helped her with everything. And the other inhabitants were really kind to her. She started to feel like she's home.
Grindelwald and Queenie teaches her. She's studying more than she did in school.

Annie finished her studies for today, and she gets her books and goes out to the garden. It's a sunny day. She walks and admires the beauty of the nature.

It's a beautiful white and red, it walks to Annie. She's surprised but she picks up the cat. She pets it and the cat starts to purr. She walks into the castle with the cat in her hands. She stops for a second to look around, maybe Queenie is there and she wouldn't let the cat in. But Queenie isn't there. The cat starts to move in her hands so she puts it down. The cat starts to run towards the south wing, the one that nobody uses. This part of the castle isn't renovated or heated.
She, unsurely but, runs after the cat. The animal leads her into a big, unrenovated ball room.

Annie's surprised how big the room is. She imagined how it might have looked, she imagined the big crowd dancing in the room. She walked around the big room, looking up at the ceiling. Then she heard some noise so she picked up the cat and quickly left the room.

The next day she visited the ball room again, where the cat was waiting for her. She is dressed in her ballet dress. Abernathy is playing the piano downstairs.
She started slowly dancing, as the music got louder and faster she started to make bigger movements. As she danced, she forgot everything for a moment. She gets really lost in the music and the dance, she doesn't even notices when Grindelwald enters the room. He's just standing there and watching as Annie dances. As Abernathy finishes playing the piano, Annie stops dancing, she stands there with her back to Grindelwald. He takes a step and the cat notices. Annie looks at the animal and then turns to see what is the cat looking at. She's surprised and scared as she sees Grindelwald.
,,That was a beautiful dance."-he says and starts to walk toward Annie, with his hand behind his back.
She doesn't respond, she's still scared. Grindelwald sees that.
,,This room was one of the most beautiful ball rooms I've ever seen."-he says loudly.
,,What happed?"-Annie asks shyly.
,,Well, the owner of this mansion at that time, he neglected the castle."-he answers.
,,Why did he?"-Annie asks curiously.
,,The tragedy of his wife death was too shocking for him. A lot of people think he got mad."-he answers and looks deeply into Annie's eyes.
,,What happened to the man's wife?"-she asks sadly.
,,Nobody knows. Some say that she got murdered by a poor man who wanted to have their mansion. Others say that her husband killed her because he was crazy. We will never know."-he says mysteriously.
Annie looks despairingly at Grindelwald. He looks down at her, then he starts to walk to a picture on the wall. Annie follows him.
,,This is the lady we are talking about."-he says and stares at the panting.

,,She looks pretty."-Annie says.
They stare at the painting for some seconds.
,,Why did you came to this wing of the castle?"-Grindelwald asks coldly.
,,Ohm...I was just-I followed the cat..."-she says scaredy.
Grindelwald looks at the cat.
,,I'm sorry...I- won't came here again."-she adds.
,,It's okay, you can came here whenever you want, it's a good place to practice ballet."-he says.
,,Thank you."-Annie says.
They are silent for some moments.
,,I can imagine how could this place look like when it was in a good condition."-Annie says.
,,Yes, it looked much better."-Grindelwald responds sadly.
