late at night

Outside the small yard,

The girl held a dim butter lamp, and by a faint light, crouched in the mud looking for something.

She pouted her ass and searched for a long time before she found the dirty prefect badge in the middle of the stone crevice.

She sighed and wiped it vigorously, but the scratches on it couldn't be wiped off, and it looked particularly dazzling.

She sat on the big bluestone, her arms propped up her little head, and sighed heavily.

A raven with two or three small ravens rose up at the same time, fell from the tree, and landed on the girl's shoulder, as if they were not alien to her.

When the girl was in a bad mood, she sat alone in the shade of the dense trees in the yard.

didn't talk much, just looked at the sky in a daze, and over time, somehow became familiar with the ravens of the big banyan tree.

Raven screamed, got up and flew up.

The girl turned her head suddenly, and saw a thin figure in the corner of the wall, and she lifted the oil lamp, and quickly saw the man's face, and could not help but panic.

Eldest brother!

Ariana was carrying an oil lamp, her face timid, and she stared blankly at Albus as she approached.

But the eldest brother, who has always been strict, did not reproach her, but after taking the oil lamp, he also sat on the big bluestone.

Ariana hesitated, returned the badge in her hand to Albus, and whispered, "Big brother, can you not be angry with the second brother?" ”

"How so?" Albus rubbed the girl's hair and said apologetically:

"Aberforth is right, I've been in the attic for the summer and haven't been able to take good care of you."

"I didn't have ...... My brother is busy, and Ariana knows. ”

The girl was silent for a moment and cautiously asked, "Big brother, can't I really go to Hogwarts to go to school?"

Ariana will be very obedient, very obedient......"

"But Ariana is gone, who will take care of Mom, right?" Albus looked into the distance and said, "We're all gone, and my mother is alone at home." ”

Ariana smiled reluctantly, "In this case, then I will stay at home and take care of my mother."

But...... I'd love to take a look at the Hogwarts acceptance letter.

You all have it, why not Ariana?

Have you forgotten Ariana? ”

"I must have forgotten!"

Albus looked at the girl's immature face full of sadness, held back tears, and said distressedly: "The principal is old, he must have forgotten." ”

"Can I send ravens to Hogwarts? One letter a week asking if I can enroll? ”

Ariana asked, looking up, a little expectant.

"Of course you can, even if it's seven times a week, there's no problem."

Ariana leaped for joy.

The two looked up together and looked at the starry sky.

The girl rested her head on Albus's lap and asked curiously, "Big brother, second brother said that when people die, they will become stars in the sky."

Mom said no, so will it be? ”

"Ariana hopes, will?"

"I hope so," said the girl...... cheerfully, "so that if Ariana dies, she will become a star and watch everyone all the time...... You don't have to stay in a small house all the time. ”

Albus touched his sister's head and burst into tears, "Ariana won't die, Nicol has already lent the Philosopher's Stone to his brother...... You will live to be five hundred years old, just like him. ”

"Brother, why are you crying?" Ariana asked, touching Albus's face.

Albus hurriedly wiped away his tears and said softly, "yes, don't tell anyone that I'm crying." ”

"Of course, this is our little secret, even the second brother I won't tell him." Ariana smiled warmly.

"Brother, are you ready for my birthday present?"

"I'm ready, but I want to re-prepare...... What does Ariana want? Albus asked.

"I want the stars." Ariana jumped to her feet, raised her hand and opened her arms to the sky.

"That way I don't have to sneak out at night to look at the stars."

"Ah, it's a bit difficult." Albus said.

"The Fairy Diamond can absorb Starlight, but unfortunately it's lost...... Why don't I make you a light extinguisher? ”

"Okay!"

Principal's Office,

Dumbledore was still staring at the elven diamond, as if he was remembering something.

William hesitated, not knowing whether to interrupt the headmaster.

Older people like to reminisce about the past, and William still knows this and understands it very well.

But well, the headmaster was in a daze for an hour.

If it weren't for the expression on his face, sometimes hideous, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, constantly changing, William would almost have thought he was asleep.

Of course, that's not the point, the point is: William, who drank a big cappuccino, really wants to go to the toilet right now.

Dumbledore finally came out of his memory, and he whispered, "I'm sorry William, I just wandered for a moment. ”

Is "......" just a short moment? This is the legendary theory of relativity?

"Professor, do I need to give the diamond to the Thunderbird?" William hurriedly asked, "Otherwise, it will stay in the Forbidden Forest all the time." ”

"Can't give!" Dumbledore stared at the diamond and said in a deep voice, "Just keep the diamond, it's very useful." ”

William breathed a sigh of relief, he was waiting for the headmaster's words. After all, who wants to give this kind of thing, of course, it's best to keep it for yourself.

"Fairy ......"

"Don't bother with it." Dumbledore said calmly, "Gringotts writes to me every year, asking for the Gryffindor sword, and asking for magical items made by goblins in Hogwarts Castle...... Just pretend you didn't see it. ”

Wonderful!

In this way, the diamond can also be taken out openly.

After chatting about the treasure diamond, William suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. He asked about Arya, Grindelwald's nominal adopted daughter.

"Arya, she...... Something special. Dumbledore hesitated for a long time, then turned on the memory mode again.

William had no choice but to cast a brain occlusion technique, putting himself in a state of empty head, to suppress the desire to move.

William figured it out, and when he came to the headmaster, he must not drink water, but eat enough...... Because it's a protracted battle and a physical war!

After half an hour, Professor Dumbledore suddenly said:

"Back then, Grindelwald and another equally ambitious young man mapped out a pilgrimage route."

"Pilgrimage Route...... Deathly Hallows? ”

"Yes, one of the holy places on this trip is Egypt." Dumbledore sighed.

"Egypt is important, I told you that the Big Four founded Hogwarts to study prehistoric mysteries.

They first learned about these powerful powers in the Egyptian Mystery School. ”

"Grindelwald and the young man want to learn about prehistory?"

"That's right. Deathly Hallows are the most powerful weapons, and prehistoric mysteries are the most powerful of magic. Dumbledore's voice trembled.

"Mastering these two is enough to conquer the whole world, conquer the Grim Reaper, and establish a new order."

But the inheritance of Egypt has long been broken, the occult academy has disappeared into history, and the Library of Alexandria, which has the largest collection of magic books, has long been burned down by Caesar's magic fire.

They had a crazy thought......" Dumbledore paused and said bitterly:

"Resurrect the dead pharaohs!"

Their chosen target was the last pharaoh, Cleopatra VII.

But to resurrect her, a sacrifice is needed. ”

"Arya Grindelwald is that sacrifice."
