Hogsmeade was much more lively than before, and there was a lot of traffic on the originally sparse stone road.
It's just that the bustle is just an appearance, there are just too many people - this town is filled with a heavy atmosphere, people stand in twos and threes on the street corner, they are all wearing black formal clothes, talking in a low voice from time to time.
Hogsmeade could no longer find a vacant bed, and the owners of various shops contributed a lot of rooms they lived in. Even so, many people came here ahead of time, and they marked out a place in Hogwarts. Tents were set up in the area just to wait for today's funeral early.
Grindelwald's arrival made the funeral near the end a little earlier. People were talking on street corners about why the president of the International Federation of Wizards did this.
Dumbledore's sudden death cast a shadow over the entire wizarding world.
Sean came to Hogsmeade quickly, met many wizards he knew along the way, greeted him hastily, and went straight to his destination - the Pig's Head Tavern.
The tavern was still dirty and dilapidated standing on the trail at the end of the alley. When the door was opened, a large cloud of dust rushed in. However, the tavern was full of wizards, and there were many people who looked very old. The man shut down the wine glass by glass, his face flushed.
It's not Aberforth behind the bar, but Nagini, who is now under control of the blood curse and can basically live a normal life.
"Nagini, where are Aberforth and Orriel?" Sean asked hastily as he didn't have time to be polite.
Nagini also looked sad, and she shook her head after seeing Sean: "Just now Mr. Grindelwald suddenly showed up and told everyone to leave, Aberforth looked very unhappy—"
She lowered her voice a bit: "Aberforth even took out his wand... But Orri stopped him, and after returning to the tavern, the two argued for a while, I don't know what they said, but the two After the quarrel, it seems that there is no problem, and he also said to go to see Arianna."
Arianna? Sean's child hole suddenly shrank.
Dumbledore admitted to him personally that Ariana did not die in the original Godric's Hollow accident, and Dumbledore borrowed the resurrection stone from Nicole Flamel in order to save his sister, and tried the taboo of the human body.
Sean thought of another person, another person he always remembered, but never appeared and hardly mentioned, no, to be precise, "two" people...
Dumbledore's human body alchemy succeeded, and the human body was indeed refined.
However, Ariana's soul did not enter the body of the alchemy body, and Dumbledore's "transplant" of the soul failed. After that, Phoenix took the initiative to accommodate Ariana's soul in order to save Ariana's soul that was about to be completely torn apart. part soul.
And the alchemy human body began to slowly give birth to a new soul as recorded in the alchemist's death manual—the new soul was often distorted and incomplete, which would cause a terrifying new monster to appear in the world.
However, Ariana's remaining soul merged with the newly born soul, and the monster was not born.
Essentially, Arianna's body should be fused with the Phoenix, and the new alchemy body is a brand new existence with some of Ariana's soul characteristics.
It was this brand new child who had become separated from Dumbledore.
Dumbledore never mentioned that child again, and Sean thought that the child was later Credence, who is now Aurelius Dumbledore, but Orriel belonged to Aberforth Boy, it's proven.
So, what about the kid?
Ariana must be one with Fox right now. I don't know where it is. Aberforth should know this... Then who is the Arianna he went to visit?
Sean took a deep breath, and he moved closer: "Nagini, are they going to visit Arianna?!"
Nagini nodded. "That's what Aberforth said. Orri looked shocked, as if he didn't know such an aunt existed."
"Where did they go?"
"I didn't ask." Nagini shook his head.
Sean frowned, and then asked again: "Did Aberforth visit Ariana before this?"
The answer to this question is very important. If it was after Dumbledore's death that Aberforth behaved like this, then it would be too coincidental.
Nagini thought for a while, nodded and shook his head: "I'm not sure... because it would be nice if I could have a place to live, and I never asked about their family affairs... However, Aberforth rarely When I left the Pig's Head Tavern, I returned with purchased supplies, Arianna, and I didn't know her existence until they told me about it.”
"Oh, yes—" Nagini seemed to think of something again, "At the scene of the last match of the Goblet of Fire, after the attack, when we were discussing whether to enter the maze directly, Aberforth said a word .”
"He said that Dumbledore told him a few days ago that he was going to bring Ariana back..." Speaking of this, Nagini showed obvious doubts on his face, "I thought Ariana was caught, or What kind of serious illness, or the state of being invisible like me... because no one else seems to know that the Dumbledore family has a sister. However, after that, Aberforth never said that there was a sister. About Ariana."
Dumbledore wants to bring Ariana back?
Sean was lost in thought.
Arianna's main soul should still be in Phoenix's body, but Phoenix has been missing for a long time... I always thought that Phoenix might be controlled by the returnees, but now it doesn't seem to be the case...
The key is where did Aberforth go, and whether the Arianna he visited was his real sister...
Where are you going...
Saying goodbye to Nagini in a hurry, Sean thought for a while, then found an empty corner and flickered to the periphery of Hogwarts, and then directly Apparated to Godric's Hollow.
"It's all restored..." Sean sighed as he appeared in the dark alley of Godric's Hollow town.
This place had been completely destroyed, but now it has been restored. When Grindelwald fused here, he got the Muggles living here out ahead of time. Now, they have returned to their original home without noticing it at all.
Sean sighed again, then cast a disillusionment spell on himself, and headed towards Dumbledore's old house.
Coming to a familiar location, Sean didn't see any dilapidated old houses, only a piece of wasteland.
The entire Godric's Hollow has been restored, but the old house here still remains destroyed.
Sean went around in a circle, but found no hidden magic.
After thinking for a while, he walked towards the church in the small town of Godric's Hollow.
The small church here is often rumored to be haunted, but Sean knows that this is because many ancient wizard families are buried here.
There was a cemetery behind the church, and Sean easily saw through the magic. There was a narrow door at the entrance, and rows of tombstones stood on a light blue silver carpet.
Looking carefully in the past, Aberforth and Aurelius were not found, but Xiao En saw a tomb instead.
The epitaph above reads: Where the treasure is, so is the heart.
The name of the owner of the tomb is written above the curly characters.
Candra Dumbledore and Ariana Dumbledore.
Candela is the mother of the three siblings, who was killed out of control by Ariana, who became the Obscure, and the father of the three siblings entered Azkaban before that, because he punished the Muggles who raped his daughters, and finally Died of old age in prison.
This is the pain of the entire Dumbledore family's life, and it is also the most difficult thing for Dumbledore himself.
However, Arianna should not be dead...Why is there a grave here...
If it was someone else's tomb, Sean might say sorry, open it to check the situation and restore it, but Dumbledore's mother is lying here, Sean can't do this kind of thing.
He leaned over to look carefully for a while, and found something strange.
Although Arianna's name is full of traces of time like his own mother, under Sean's keen feeling, a wave of magic power that is about to dissipate is around.
The name was added after and made old on purpose? An idea came to Sean's mind.
He was almost sure now that Ariana had indeed returned!
However, something might be wrong with Ariana, and Alfred wants to hide it to protect his sister—just like he and his brother did when they were younger.
So, Arianna did reappear after Dumbledore's death...
Is it Phoenix, or the lost child?
Sean can't be sure, and he doesn't know where Aberforth has gone, but he can wait for Aberforth to come back and make inquiries... Given his relationship with the Dumbledore family, Aberforth should not hide the truth. look at yourself.
And, maybe it has something to do with the mystery left by Dumbledore...
Back at Hogwarts, Sean went to the headmaster's office non-stop. The purpose of Grindelwald's asking him to do this was obvious—to look at the paintings.
Now, the principal of Hogwarts has become Professor McGonagall. However, this stern lady did not move into the principal's office, but worked in her original office. Except for re-arranging a password for the office, she did nothing. did not do.
Of course Sean knew the password.
"Albus Dumbledore."
The gargoyle jumped aside silently, and after Sean walked into the entrance, he muttered to himself: "I still prefer to hear you guess the dessert for half an hour in front of me..."
Sean paused, then quickly walked up the spiral staircase.
Nothing here has changed, exactly as Sean has seen it before: the silver instruments whirling and puffing smoke on the thin-legged table, the Sorting Hat is still on the shelf behind the table, the phoenix's perch is still empty.
He immediately looked towards the wall.
A new portrait has joined the ranks of the late Headmasters of Hogwarts House...Dumbledore sleeps in a gold frame above the table, half-moon spectacles resting on his hooked nose, looking serene and peaceful peaceful.
Sean felt his heart ache again.
Still, there may be new hope...
He took a deep breath and came to Dumbledore's portrait to look carefully.
The old man closed his eyes in the painting, as if he was sleeping.
"Professor? Professor?" Sean tried to call twice, but got no response.
On the side, the other principals didn't speak, they just watched Xiao En's movements.
"Professor?" Sean was still shouting.
Phoenix seemed to be a little bit upset, he arched his body, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Stop shouting, kid, it sounds annoying."
Sean turned his head and looked over, and asked seriously: "Gentlemen and ladies, the principal's portrait is magical, and it also contains some memories of his life, so Professor Dumbledore should be able to communicate with me? Is that right? illustrate…"
Former, no, former former principal Armando Dippet pushed his glasses and said with a sigh: "It's a long way to go to the real other world... I can't start until four or five years after the portraits are brought in." **flow."
As he spoke, he sighed again: "However, there is no way to turn back on this road."
Sean's heart turned cold, but he still didn't give up: "But painting is just painting, right?"
Dai Lisi Devante, who has always been friendly to Sean, frowned and said: "Painting is just painting, but Dumbledore's death cannot be changed..."
"No, ma'am, I just want to ask if Professor Dumbledore has really joined your ranks. You are all painters, so you should have a feeling."
The headmasters looked at each other, and Phoenix blew on his beard: "We are part of Hogwarts, helping the current headmaster! But we have no soul, no consciousness, it's not something we can sense, and we don't know Hogwarts secrets—forget it, people are gone, there's nothing to hide... Dumbledore has already planned, he's going to sacrifice himself..."
Sean moved his throat with difficulty: "Then who can I ask to confirm this?"
"Find someone who can see everything in Hogwarts! But what else does your confirmation make you more sad, and then accept the fact that Dumbledore is dead?" Phoenix looked at Sean at this time. He looked very dissatisfied, with a kind of grief and indignation that Dumbledore died in vain.
But Sean directly ignored the second half of his sentence, and only heard the previous sentence "Find someone who can see everything in Hogwarts~www.mtlnovel.com~ Who can see Hogwarts clearly, know Hogwarts Secrets…
Professor McGonagall? No, she'll tell me when she senses something is wrong... house-elf? Not right... Peeves and the ghosts? But they also only have memories...
Am I going to take full control of Hogwarts? But I only found the ones of Ravenclaw and Slytherin, and the secret locations of the other two founders still need to be found...
Sean wandered aimlessly around the office, and then his eyes stopped on one thing.
The sorting hat.
If I remember correctly, in the first grade, the Sorting Hat reluctantly left him a promise to tell him a secret in the castle because of a leak.
However, Sean has been busy studying, fighting, and taking risks, so he never found the Sorting Hat.
Sean's eyes immediately brightened—this guy must have known something after staying in Hogwarts Castle for thousands of years, right?
He went at once and picked up the battered pointed hat.
