Chapter Eighty-Six: Magic and Ruthlessness

Rolf and Dumbledore delved into Death and the three brothers, but at the end of the conversation, something else suddenly came to mind.

"Professor Dumbledore, that night in the bathroom, I found out that Lady Pince had been attacked, and I saw the black-robed wizard collecting this."

Rove took out a bottle from his bosom, which contained a black substance, he shook the bottle lightly and said:

The man was in a hurry to run away, and the bottle fell...... What is this? ”

After Dumbledore took the bottle, he just glanced at it and said softly, "Fear." ”

"Fear?"

"Fear is not an ethereal concept, but a real and powerful force, as if ...... Love. Dumbledore sighed softly.

"Why did that man collect this kind of thing?"

"Probably making a non-existent ......" Dumbledore was about to explain in detail when there was a sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs, and he whispered:

"Rov, come to my office tonight."

Rove snorted, and when he looked up, he saw Aberforth striding over, and he shouted in a rough voice:

"I'm sorry to interrupt the secret conversation between the two of you saving the world...... It's time to eat, everyone has been waiting for a long time! ”

"Sorry, let's eat first." Dumbledore stood up, smiling, and headed downstairs.

Aberforth snorted coldly and dragged a large table to the center of the living room, shouting, "You two little ones, hurry up and bring the meal!" ”

Soon, Shirley and Hermione trotted down the stairs with their plates, but the little girls didn't immediately put the dishes on the table.

"This table is dirty too." Hermione frowned slightly, "How long has it been since you wiped it?" ”

Aberforth coughed his throat: "It's not last Christmas, or the Christmas of the year before...... I don't remember exactly, anyway. ”

“……”

"It's okay, I've got a cloth." Shirley had long expected this situation, after all, the kitchen on the first floor was dirty, and it couldn't mean that the living room was much cleaner.

"Help me hold it." The ponytail girl turned around and put the dishes in Rove's hand, then took out the towel that had been washed a dozen times and wiped the table again.

"If you don't do it, you won't get sick if you eat it!" Aberforth muttered.

"It's the disease that comes from the mouth." Shirley corrected carefully and wiped the table again and again.

"Rubbing it once isn't enough?!" Aberforth saw that the little girl loved cleanliness so much, and that she was quite neat in her work, so she said casually:

"Why don't you come to work at my bar, wipe the table and sweep the floor every day...... I'll pay you. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dumbledore." Shirley glanced at Rove quietly, pursed her lips and smiled, "I already have a job!" ”

"That's right." Rove held the saucer and deliberately straightened his face and said:

"Mr. Dumbledore, it's not a good habit to poach my assistant in front of my boss."

"How old are you to have an assistant?" Aberforth scoffed:

"But your grandfather had an assistant Bundy, and you really did that."

"It's just a family tradition." Rov said suddenly.

Aberforth glanced downstairs, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "By the way, little one, what was my brother talking to you about just now?" ”

"We talked about some academics." Rove said nonsense, "You can ask Professor Dumbledore for the specific content." ”

"I don't care what you're talking about!" Aberforth said coldly:

"But I know my brother, who will use his words to deceive others into doing things for him willingly, especially those close to him!"

The old man's eyes glanced at the portrait of a young girl on the mantelpiece, and he said with a complicated look in his eyes:

"Your grandfather Newt was like this, he was tricked by my brother when he was young, went to New York, went to Bhutan, and did many dangerous things."

Aberforth sneered, "My brother is now getting close to you, you'd better stay away from him, don't be sold by him, and help him count Galleons!" ”

Hermione was a little unconvinced by Aberforth's slander, and she retorted:

"Professor Dumbledore is the greatest Headmaster of Hogwarts, and what he has to do is certainly glorious and great, not as dirty as you say."

"Great fart, glorious six! Don't be stupid, kid. Aberforth said with a straight face:

"What do you know? My brother learned to keep secrets and lie on my mother's lap, not to believe anything he says, not to do anything to him, only to stay away from him as much as possible, it is safer......"

The old man tried to continue, but there was a sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs, and Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall walked together, and he hurriedly shut up.

After wiping the table, all the meals were served on the table, and the four people sat down separately.

Aberforth's cooking was strange, it looked dark, much like the dark food of India, but it didn't taste good.

"This fried fish, you have to mix it with vinegar to be delicious." Aberforth brought a large bottle of vinegar from the table.

Seeing that Shirley and Hermione both wanted to pour into the bowl, Rove quickly gave the two of them a look.

"What's wrong? The boy of the Scamanders? Think my cooking is not delicious? Aberforth glared.

"No, I'm just worried about this vinegar ......" Rove said softly, "Is there any special additive?" ”

"What additives?" Aberforth said with a straight face: "I bought this sauce flavor vinegar at a high price!" ”

"Really?" Rove raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Then I heard the prefect say that the vinegar in your shop is the vinegar from those wooden barrels in our academy lounge."

Students collect it and sell it to you at a low price. ”

"Vinegar can be drunk indiscriminately, but words can't be indiscriminate!" Aberforth hurriedly said, "Don't slander me! ”

But the whole table didn't dare to be jealous, for fear that it would be magic and ruthlessness!

"Come, have some drink." Aberforth digressed as he picked up a large jug of mead and poured Rove, Shirley, and Hermione glasses.

Professor McGonagall objected, "Children can't drink!" ”

"Today is the Christmas holiday!" Aberforth said disdainfully: "Besides, I stole wine and drank it when I was in the second grade, and I'm fine now!" ”

"That's you, so you didn't end up graduating from Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall had a stern look in her eyes, and she pursed her lips, "But don't spoil my three best students." ”

"Then do you know which academy comes to me to buy the most spirits?" Aberforth smiled and said:

"It's you Gryffindors, the Wesley twins, who came to buy hot whiskey last time......"

“……”

Professor McGonagall glared at Aberforth viciously, and she said how she had won the Slytherin Quidditch team last time, when the lounge was celebrating...... And wine!

Professor McGonagall was arguing with Aberforth, and Dumbledore was arguing with him, but he was not pleasing to both ends, like an angry little daughter-in-law.

The three little ones ignored them.

Rove raised his glass, Shirley and Hermione also raised their glasses, and the three of them lightly touched each other's glasses, and smiled happily:

"Cheers!"
