When Ariana was a year old, Dumbledore persuaded them to move to Hogmound, and he even helped them find a house - which she suspected.

Dumbledore was very fond of Ariana, but never dared to appear in front of her when she opened her eyes. He gave her a lot of things, each with at least a dozen protective charms on them. Even when they lived in their former home, the neighbors around them were ordinary people, but they had never seen Ariana's magic.

Tom had examined the little gifts, and he said there were some spells on them that he had never seen before.

"Including the Confusion Charm and the Oblivion Charm." It seems that even if someone sees Ariana's magic, they will forget it completely.

On more than one occasion, Paise had tried to get Ariana to say hello to her when she was awake.

"You've given her so many gifts, at least let her say thank you to you! She would have called you by name a long time ago! Albus! No matter how loud she was, the old wizard vanished as quickly as a house-elf.

Ariana woke up just in time to open her eyes, ahhhh

"Why?" Paussie was puzzled.

Tom propped his chin and said, "When I was in school, my professor's hair wasn't white. ”

It took a second for Prith to understand what he meant, and she looked at Ariana's reddish-brown hair, "...... Could it be that she is actually similar to the other Ariana? ”

Tom said nonchalantly, "I can't answer that." Considering that the bridge of his nose was broken when I met the professor, I guess it was about the same. ”

Aside from her hair, Prith thought Ariana resembled her father. It's not that they look good, they don't have the slightest resemblance in their appearance. She felt sorry for her daughter, but she went to church and asked the priest to pray for her parents, no matter where they were, God bless them.

Ariana is as proud as Tom, and although she is young, even when she is asleep, the expression between her eyebrows and eyes is exactly the same as Tom's.

"Why is she so like you?" As if it were an irreparable tragedy, with a little jealousy, she gave birth to two children, both of whom looked like Tom.

Tom responds by giving Ariana his wand to play with all day.

They moved to Hogmound Village. I have to say that this is really a beautiful cottage, just like in a fairy tale. A red roof with a small chimney, round stones enclosing the garden, and a white fence outside.

When she saw it, she was skeptical that the hut would fit their entire family, but when she walked in, she realized that Dumbledore might have used all of his spells in the house.

"Everyone has a room, and if there are more people in the family, then the rooms will increase by themselves." Dumbledore happily introduced them, "Come, let me show you." ”

It's a real magic house.

They brought the dogs and there was a little dog house outside. After putting the cat down, there is a small exit left for it in all the doors. The owl pirate flew in with his whole family, and immediately a row of bird houses was ready for them.

Before he became Headmaster, he was a Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts, and he had heard that he had used a wand to do something no one else had ever done before in his fifth-year exams. Paules now thinks it's all true.

All the rooms will grow larger as the child grows older, all the furniture is kept for the enjoyment of the owner, even the crib will sing lullabies and even make milk.

Rose, dumbfounded, looked at the crib and saw that Ariana liked to float up, and immediately lost all four of her legs.

All furniture has anti-collision charms, and if Ariana were to fall out of mid-air on a whim, she would find that the floor had suddenly turned into jelly and wouldn't hurt her in the slightest.

Tom walked in from outside, and he told Paules that there were Muggle banishments and Muggle confusions in all corners of the house.

"Not even Hogwarts is safer than here." He said, "Don't say it's Muggles, I guess even Muggle rats get lost when they get here." ”

But despite all of this, Dumbledore still refused to appear in front of Ariana, not even her first birthday party.

"If you don't come, I won't give her your gift! I do what I say!! Pauche sent a shouting letter to Dumbledore, which, according to Tom at the time, "Very wonderful." ”

So at eight o'clock that night, Dumbledore still showed up on time.

"You're finally here, come in." Pauss opened the door almost as soon as he appeared, "She's waiting for you." She stepped out of the way, and Ariana sat down at the door facing the pile of gifts, and she smiled and beckoned to Dumbledore when she saw him.

"Ahh Yes! Come! "She doesn't talk much yet, but she loves to see guests.

The old wizard seemed to be at a loss for the first time, and Paose swore that he walked up to Ariana with a stiff expression, as if he had been hit by a petrification spell on his face.

He crouched in front of her and introduced himself to a one-year-old: "Hello, you can call me Albus." "It's as if she'd say 'lucky will' to him.

Pauche couldn't bear to look at it any longer, she had never seen Dumbledore like this, but it was a good start, wasn't it? She plans to go back to the kitchen, but Tom and Red are intrigued by the scene.

They don't plan to miss out.

"It's probably the only gaffe he's ever had in his life." Tom said this next to Dumbledore and Ariana.

"Was that the same when he first met me? "He was very curious.

Ariana spat and spat, the old wizard didn't seem to understand what she meant, but he seemed to enjoy seeing her spat at him like that, and kept smiling.

"I think she's calling you by name." Tom explained.

Dumbledore picked her up in surprise: "Really? "He looked like he had the whole world, and his hands seemed to tremble. Tom immediately walked over to prevent the professor from accidentally throwing his daughter down.

Ariana struggled to drag on word by word, and said, "Ahh——。h "Sprayed all over the sky with spittle.

Tom went on to explain: "She doesn't know how to pronounce that sound. ”

"Yes, yes." Dumbledore repeated, "I think that sound is too hard for her. ”

Then throughout the night, he held Ariana, and it seemed that it would not be difficult for him to take the first step. Even if she was held in the arms of others, he kept looking at her, and those wise blue eyes were shining.

Ross breathed a sigh of relief. She could probably guess why Dumbledore had been refusing to see Ariana, but running away wouldn't solve the problem. She could only push him from behind.

At eleven o'clock, Pusher went to great lengths to get Ariana to agree to go to bed before sending Dumbledore away, who was the only guest for the evening.

"I'll come, dear." Tom came over and said.

When Paucus entered, he said, "Professor, let's go for a walk." ”

"Of course." Dumbledore let out a sigh of relief as soon as he walked out of the hut, the whole night was too much for him, like a dozen glasses of mead, he almost forgot about reality.

He'd love to get back to reality.

The two of them walked slowly.

Tom had a lot to say, he knew why the professor was so fond of Ariana, and he could guess why he didn't even dare to look at her before. He wanted to spy on something, but now he didn't want to.

Dumbledore let out a long sigh.

"Tom, you're very lucky." The old wizard said, "Go home, they are all waiting for you." ”

Tom stopped: "Good night, then, Professor. He walked back.

Dumbledore watched as he walked into the still lit hut, how warm it was, and he had just come out of it. He stood still for a moment, then continued his way towards the castle.

He must admit that he was somewhat envious of Tom's luck, one might even say jealous. He had plenty of opportunities to make amends for his mistakes, and when he turned back, his family was still waiting for him.

And he doesn't have it anymore.

Before meeting Ariana, he had been reluctant to wake up from a sweet dream. But tonight he had to wake up.

He only wanted to make sure that no more young wizards would be as unfortunate as Ariana, and that Muggles would never again treat other young wizards the same way they did to Ariana. He hopes that he can do even a little bit, in the long river of history, even if he only takes half a step forward, he will never be prouder in his life.
