Chapter 196: My Ariana

"Professor, I..."

"Oh, you have to listen to me, don't go, it's dangerous, Snape has already gone to Dumbledore, and Professors McGonagall and Flitwick are too, you don't have to get involved." Professor Sprout looked at Brie and asked seriously, "If you go, I will not see you, after all, Professor McGonagall asked me to watch the young wizards here, hoping that they can safely go back to the dormitory to rest." ”

Professor Sprout's eyes were filled with helpless worry.

"Of course, of course, Professor." Brie looked back at the professor with a grateful gaze, and quickly bypassed the professor and hurried to the bathroom on the second floor.

At this time, Dumbledore hurriedly went downstairs with Snape, and Brie used snake language to open the mechanism in the bathroom, and had already followed the pipe into the sewer of the secret room.

"Oh, Dumbledore." Professors McGonagall and Flitwick had already arrived outside the back room, followed by Harry.

"Harry, come here, kid." Dumbledore smiled and waved his hand at a panicked Harry.

"Open the Chamber of Secrets, Harry."

Harry nodded, and quickly spoke snake language.

The chamber was opened again, and Snape was about to jump towards the hole, but Dumbledore stopped him.

"Severus, just leave this matter to me."

Dumbledore felt the heat flowing from the ring in his arms, and his gaze was extremely determined, which shocked Snape's heart, and Dumbledore rarely showed such an expression.

Complex and full of humanity, Snape couldn't help but be stunned. 、

Dumbledore smiled and said quickly, "Minerva, this is up to you, of course, Harry can go back first, and he can't be kept here." ”

With that, Dumbledore jumped into the hole.

This was Dumbledore's second trip to Slytherin's chambers, the last time was when he was younger, when he had only recently learned snake language, and the basilisk had not appeared because it had not been awakened by the blood of a Slytherin descendant.

……

Here, Brie stood outside the hall of the stone chamber in the secret room, and he felt the soul power contained in the stone chamber—mixed, scattered, and familiar.

"Master, master, ah!"

It was Peter's screams.

"Master, spare me, spare me, I'll find you a new body, ah!"

Peter and Voldemort would never have thought that Tom had already swapped his father's bones, and the bones that Peter got back were just the bones of a strange dark wizard who had been specially treated, and after adding such bones to resurrection, Voldemort's soul had just entered the cauldron when it exploded, shattering his soul into a thick black mist.

Now Voldemort can only forcibly occupy Peter's body and devour Peter's consciousness, otherwise it will soon dissipate completely, of course, the consequences are tragic, because Voldemort's soul will have to exist in Peter's body for at least ten years before it can be recovered.

"Ahh

Peter struggled on the ground filled with potion wastewater, but the constraints of the Death Eater Mark made it impossible for him to resist Voldemort's invasion.

"No, no, don't!"

Peter's eyes were full of pleading, and he quickly cast Animagus for the sake of that slim life, which was the only way he could think of to fight Voldemort's consciousness.

"Traitor, you traitor!"

Voldemort roared at this!

Brie listened to the voices inside and was about to go in and grab Peter and Voldemort to disrupt the prophecy, but then there was footsteps behind him.

Before Brie could turn around, he felt a large, old and powerful hand appear on his shoulder.

"Oude, this is not what you should have come."

Dumbledore's eyes were deep, and he looked at Brie carefully.

"Professor Dumbledore." Brie narrowed his eyes, he didn't expect Dumbledore to come so quickly, but fortunately Dumbledore didn't see his means of dealing with Voldemort, otherwise some things would not be clear, and the appearance of dark magic on him would definitely become Dumbledore's suspicion.

"I felt a wave of ......"

"Oh, naturally, I know about it." Dumbledore interrupted Brie's attempt to make up an excuse, and he said, "But you shouldn't come in, even if you know how to speak." ”

Dumbledore couldn't laugh and stared at Brie's neck, paused for a moment, and gently patted Brie on the shoulder.

The ring in his arms was already urging him, and now his attention was on the stone chamber ahead.

Dumbledore bypassed Brie and hurried to the stone chamber.

Inside the stone room, "Peter" suddenly opened his eyes and glared at the door of the stone room, and he smiled grimly.

"I'll bypass you this time, Peter Pediru."

After saying that, a thick black mist poured out of Peter's body, and those black mist spread in the air, and the entire stone chamber was shrouded in it.

When Dumbledore stepped into the stone chamber, he saw a large black mouse lying in the distance, and the black mist floating in the air.

"Voldemort, you've reappeared, why this time?"

Dumbledore strolled leisurely in the direction of Voldemort as if he were talking to an old friend, but he had already clenched the wand in his hand and the ring that surprised him with the other.

Shortly before Christmas, a late gift.

When Dumbledore opened it, the magic that swirled on this black gemstone ring shocked Dumbledore because it was the Resurrection Stone!

But a hundred years of wisdom and reason made him resist the temptation to wear a ring, but the guilt of family made him often wander back between Hogwarts and Hog's Head Bar during this time.

There was always a voice telling him.

"Wear this ring in front of Ariana, it will make up for the most painful mistake of your life."

"Brother Albus!"

Suddenly, Dumbledore, who was deep in thought, raised his head, and at this time, this was no longer a stone room, but a secluded valley plain, and behind them was a secluded ancient mansion.

In front of him was fourteen-year-old Ariana, and he had become younger.

"Brother Albus, what's wrong with you, aren't we going to take me to your friends, I can, I can travel with you, so you don't have to be embarrassed!"

Ariana was like a little fairy, with a smile on her face.

Because his brother was finally able to pursue his dreams and not have to be trapped in Godric's Hollow because of her.

"Ariana?"

Dumbledore's bright blue eyes glistened with tears, and he wanted to say something, but suddenly found that his memory of this day was cloudy, as if it was blocked by a membrane, of course, with his magic power, he could pierce it with a single force.

But he didn't, his heart was telling him that he was going to face this day, and he couldn't run away from it for the sake of Ariana.

"He'll be here soon, Ariana." Dumbledore smiled softly, and a gust of wind blew through the valley, his long red hair swaying slightly, as if greeting someone.

At this time, they saw in the distance, and following his words, a handsome young man in a black robe and a sunny hand came to them.

"This is—" Dumbledore was about to introduce, but he couldn't say anything in his mouth, and he suppressed a complex emotion in his heart, as if he didn't want to see him.

"I am, Gellert Grindelwald."

"Haha, you're Miss Ariana on Albus's lips, aren't you?" Grindelwald's laughter was hearty, and his words made Ariana blush.

Ariana nodded and said in a low voice, "I'm Ariana, are you just going to take me on a trip around the world to help my friend who is a wizard?" ”

"Oh, of course, and will take you, beautiful young lady, I think something extraordinary is not a fault, you can join us."

"If so, it couldn't be better!" Ariana gained some confidence because of Grindelwald's words, and slowly let go of her worries, she was also worried that her brother's friends would not like her.

"Brother, why don't you speak?"

Ariana looked at Dumbledore, and Grindelwald looked strangely at his best friend.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just thinking about getting out of here, and it's a feeling of nostalgia." Dumbledore didn't know how he said that, his body was too stiff to do it.

"You can't take Ariana with you!"

At this time, a red-haired boy rushed out from the side, he pointed his wand at Grindelwald, and said angrily: "You kidnapped my brother, and now you want to take my sister away, what the hell do you want to do!" ”

"I don't agree!"

"Brother Aberforth, it's not like that!" Ariana pursed her lips, her worst fears had happened, Aberforth had always disapproved of Albus's brother getting along with his friends.

"Aberforth, huh?" Grindelwald looked at the irascible boy who looked like Dumbledore, but he couldn't find the forgiveness he had when facing Dumbledore.

"Maybe we should talk about it alone, shouldn't we?"

Grindelwald glanced at Dumbledore, who was standing on the sidelines, and Ariana, who didn't know how to interject.

Aberforth nodded, glared at Grindelwald cautiously, and went with him to the side of the tree.

"Brother Albus, what now, we... Can't we bring Brother Aberforth with us? ”

Ariana looked at Dumbledore wistfully, hoping to get his consent.

"This—" Dumbledore's face turned pale, and he remembered what he had done with Grindelwald on the top of a distant hill that night, and what Aberforth had found difficult to accept when he was discovered.

"Aberforth won't agree." Dumbledore had his head down, his brain was in disarray, what was he supposed to do now, he forgot!

"Ah, Brother Albus, stop them, they're fighting!"

"Hit!" Dumbledore looked up in horror.

"Fighting?"

A spell rushed towards Dumbledore and Ariana, and landed not far in front of Dumbledore, the grass clippings flying, and the smell of grass evoked Dumbledore's memory.

In an instant, Dumbledore saw a spell hit Ariana!

"No!"

Dumbledore's eyes resisted, clenching his wand and rushing forward.

"Stop, don't hurt Ariana!"

Behind Dumbledore, Ariana, who was frightened by the spell just now, was squatting on the ground, with a strong and irritable magic gushing out of her body, she saw Dumbledore also rushing forward, attacking Aberforth and Grindelwald as if she had lost her mind, and said loudly: "Don't fight, brother!" ”

At this time, under a powerful spell from Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Aberforth retreated, but ......

"Brother?"

Ariana rushed up with an uncontrollable magic that belonged to Silent Ran at some point, and the aftermath of Dumbledore's magic struck her.

"Ariana!" Aberforth cried out in grief and rushed forward, helping Annena, who was spitting blood.

Grindelwald stared down at his wand tremblingly, not daring to look at Dumbledore as if he were running away, fleeing without any excuses.

"Ariana...... My sister ......"

Dumbledore stared in disbelief as he stared at the girl lying in a pool of blood.

His red hair faded, old wrinkles began to cover his face, his tall and straight body became slumped, and he stared at Ariana with the Elder Wand in one hand and the Resurrection Stone Ring in the other.

"You killed our Ariana, ah!" Aberforth shouted angrily at Dumbledore, and when he saw the resurrection stone ring on Dumbledore's hand, his eyes burst into surprise, and he shouted, "Put it on, Dumbledore!" ”

"Put it on!"

"Quick!"

"Save our Ariana!"

"I'm sorry... Albus, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to use my strength to make Aberforth understand...... You're right to be with me, we can accomplish that great dream together, and protect your sister......"

All kinds of voices appeared in Dumbledore's ears, like mountains, making Dumbledore's figure even more awkward.

"With the Resurrection Stone, I can save you, Ariana."

Dumbledore held up the resurrection stone ring as Aberforth watched.

Dumbledore, looking up, felt that the black gem on it was charming and dangerous in the sun, and he had remembered everything, everything that day, everyone, every word, every spell, and the last smile Ariana had when she left.

"That's the most beautiful smile." It's called forgiveness.

"Brother..."Ariana's breath was faint, staring at Dumbledore holding the Resurrection Stone, she smiled weakly, "Brother Albus, I don't blame... Well, don't blame, don't spoil your... Dream ......"

"Ariana......" Dumbledore lowered his head, the tears in his eyes no longer supported, and kept slipping, dripping on the grass, but there was a sound of hitting the stone slabs.

Dumbledore didn't pay attention to this unreasonable voice, he said slowly, "I don't remember your tolerance, Ariana, because it is an injustice to you, and I must not let you be treated unfairly by this world. ”

"So—" Dumbledore let go of his right hand, and the Elder Wand in his hand fell to the ground.

The sound of the slate came again, but Dumbledore was just taking care of himself, not even paying attention to Ariana and Aberforth who were lying on the ground in front of him.

"Even if it is a dangerous trap, as long as there is hope of resurrecting you, I am willing to set foot on it, my Arianna, you are the regret of my life."

As he spoke, a choked Dumbledore stretched out his left hand and slowly put the ring on himself with his right hand......

"The Resurrection Stone Flies !!"
