Warning spoilers from leaked images ahead!
Looks like an alliance is afoot in Westeros. New leaked images from the set of Game Of Thrones shows a pivotal meeting between major characters at an important and significant location.
The photos are from Northern Spain’s Basque Country at Itzurun Beach, which is standing in as the beaches of Dragonstone in the fantasy series. The images show Jon Snow landing on the beach, accompanied by a few soldiers and Ser Davos Seaworth. Other images show Jon and Ser Davos meeting Tyrion Lannister and Missandei at the same beach, surrounded by Dothraki guards.

From the images, one can discern what the new season may be up to. When Season 6 ended, Jon was acclaimed as the King of The North, while Daenerys is seen sailing for Westeros with her dragons, Dothraki army, Unsullied, and the might of the Iron Islands, Dorne and the Reach.
If one has read the book, it is quite clear why Daenerys would choose to land in Dragonstone. First of all, it is where she was born; it also her family’s ancestral seat, which has belonged to them long before they became the rulers of Westeros.
More importantly, though, it is where her ancestor, King Aegon planned and launched his invasion of the Seven Kingdoms. (Although he only succeeded in gaining six, Dorne was invaded later.) But Daenerys won’t have this problem since Dorne is already hers, and she has a far larger army than Aegon, who only had a thousand men in the beginning.
With this in mind, it is only natural for Jon to go and seek a dialogue with the Targaryen forces, as shown in the leaked images. Also, since we the audiences already know that Jon is, in fact, also a Targaryen, the proof of his heritage may be found among the dragons that Daenerys has brought. If Jon encounters a dragon and forms a bond with it, this may convince everyone else in the story of who he really is.
But that is still speculation for now! What we know, aside from the meeting on the beach, is that Jon Snow is finally meeting with Daenerys. Blurred images show Kit Harington filming a scene with Emilia Clarke on a wall!

And, from these leaked images, we can tell it is the same dark leather costume she wore while also filming a scene on the wall with Peter Dinklage!

Of course, we still don’t know what these meetings will lead to. They could still end up fighting each other, for all we know, but it does still ease the pain of waiting around for Season 7.
