"Whew..."

In the dark Forbidden Forest, a big black mouse is running in a panic.

"Squeak!"

A huge wolf claw grabbed the rat's tail, and said with a little strangeness in his eyes: "It's the smell of magic, and Voldemort!" ”

Some of the surrounding werewolves came up, most of them were the ones who had been imprisoned in the depths of the Forbidden Forest after chasing the unicorns, but had already escaped from that place and joined the new wolf king.

"Lord Doyle, we ......"

The person who grabbed the rat was none other than Yana's father, Doyle Vader.

"This mouse is not ordinary, bring it back, the smell on his body is quite strong."

"Yes!"

……

The new weekend, with the pace of June, the pressure of the final exam has gradually condensed into a thick dark cloud, floating in the hearts of every little wizard, but this has nothing to do with Draco, who has been sent out by Brie to France.

In Hogsmeade Village, at the pig's head bar, Aberforth, who had just finished a day's work, was in the lounge, facing Ariana, writing something, but Aberforth didn't want Ariana to be involved, and kept covering his handwriting with his huge body, as if he was doing something unseemly.

"Dongdong, Dongdong!"

There was a knock on the door outside, and Aberforth frowned slightly, no one should have come back to the bar at this time, let alone anyone who came to him.

Aberforth put his quill aside, covered the parchment on the table with his book, and got up to open the door.

But before he could touch the gate, he was set on the spot.

"Bang..." The door opened, and Brie, dressed in a hooded robe, walked straight into the room.

"Who are you and what have you done to my brother!"

In the room, Ariana, who had been asleep in the portrait, suddenly opened her eyes and shouted to confront Brie.

In Brie's hand, he was holding the resurrection stone ring, and Aberforth was standing in the room like a statue.

"It's just a dream, beautiful young lady."

With a wave of his hand, Brie used his magic to lift Aberforth to a chair beside him, allowing him to feel at ease in the illusion of the resurrection stone ring, even if Aberforth didn't want to experience it.

】

"What do you want to do, the money is under my brother's bed, you take it quickly, don't hurt my brother!"

Ariana's eyes widened and she pleaded to Brie, "We have nothing more to ask you for. ”

Without saying a word, Brie walked over to the table and moved the book away, slowly revealing the handwriting underneath.

"Is your brother anyone's secret agent, there are so many power-related things." The letter has already mentioned the recent arrival of wizards from other wizarding circles in Hogsmeade Village, and there are traces of werewolves, and some pure-blood families have secretly bought shops in Hogsmeade... And, of course, the information of the Oude family.

And as the recipient of this letter, it turned out to be Albus Dumbledore.

Brie didn't stop Ariana from seeing the letter, Ariana's face changed dramatically, she couldn't have imagined that Aberforth, who had been slandering Albus's brother, would spy on Albus's brother and gather information for him.

Clearly......

"Brother......" Ariana covered her mouth, and then she looked at Brie with a smile.

"What kind of force are you, are you here to stop my brother from delivering the news!"

Ariana felt that she was about to finish, and there was nothing she could do to stop Brie, only to see that Brie pulled her portrait down and took the letter with her.

Outside the store, Brie quickly cast the Ignorance Charm and the Illusion Charm, and Ariana whispered, "You, you don't kill my brother?" ”

"Why kill him, I'm a student at Hogwarts and from Slytherin House."

Brie smiled and silently shuttled through Hogsmeade Village, and soon Brie found the passage between Hogsmeade Village and Hogwarts Castle, Duke Honey's Shop, where Tom was standing.

"I've used magic to control the owner of the shop, we'd better hurry, there are too many outside wizards in Hogsmeade right now."

Tom also had to be cautious.

Brie nodded, and quickly found the entrance to the passage, but before entering, Brie said, "Don't let it exist just yet." ”

After saying that, Brie entered the passage, and Tom, who was behind Brie, also nodded, and soon began to use magic to block this passage, according to his fineness, there are no ten days and half a month, don't think about cracking the secret of this passage.

Upon stepping into the passage, the wand on Brie's wrist sprang out on its own accord and cast a lighting spell.

"What the hell are you going to do?" Ariana was a little suspicious of Brie's actions, and she tentatively asked, "Did Brother Albus ask you to come?" ”

Ariana's voice was full of anticipation, she had never left her brother, she had not yet determined whether Brie was good or evil, she knew very well that Slytherin was not a good house, and his brother Aberforth had always looked down on Slytherins.

Brie paused, thinking, "I'm going to take you to Dumbledore." ”

"Of course, it's a deal."

There's nothing that can't be said about this, and it's good for Ariana, and Brie will try to accommodate everyone's needs.

Although this is also a kind of use, it is different from Hazard's mother.

"I won't hurt you, I won't hurt Dumbledore, that's my promise to you."

If Tom had agreed to Tom's proposal to use Hazard's mother last night, then Hazard's mother would have been hated by the Ministry of Magic and targeted by the Quidditch Company, and it would not be difficult to kill a diplomat, and maybe Tom's plan would have succeeded, but he could not guarantee the safety of Hazard's mother.

Or maybe Tom will directly sacrifice Hazard's mother at a critical moment in exchange for benefits, Brie knows Tom's character very well.

Tom just didn't want to be too cruel with Brie, but Brie knew very well the truth in it, who would keep the murder weapon after it was used as a eucalyptus.

Brie, who had turned around in the bottom of his heart, quickly said: "Miss Ariana, I know that you seem to be a soul portrait, but I know that you are a relatively complete soul. ”

"Ah, you, how do you know......" Ariana covered her lips, her memory was incomplete, she had forgotten the day she died, but she knew that she was a soul that lived on the portrait, and every once in a while, Brother Albus would come to mend her soul, but Brother Aberforth would never let them meet.

"I can make you a ghost... Of course, maybe you don't know about ghosts..."

"No, I do." Ariana interrupted Brie, and she said, "Ghosts are freer than portraits, but they are not free, because ghosts must be attached to one thing in order to exist, and this thing is their obsession. ”

Ariana was a little sentimental, and she whispered, "My soul is too weak, and my brothers can't make me a ghost, so I can only hide in the portrait." ”

In the portrait, Ariana wept aloud, and she looked at the landscape in the portrait, although it was very similar to the Godricic Valley she remembered, but there was no breeze, no flowers, no warm sun, only the illusion of coldness.

"Do I have to give anything?" Ariana didn't doubt Brie, and she didn't believe anyone could pretend to be a ghost in front of the great white wizard.

"Or what do you need my brother to give, no, I won't agree!"

Ariana said firmly: "Ariana's obsession is my brothers, I won't let you hurt my brother!" ”

Brie smiled and said, "Let's not talk about what to give, I just want to know from you, if you can become a ghost, what will you choose to pin on, as a ghost, you can't get too far away from this thing, and if its magic dissipates, you will also dissipate." ”

Ariana bowed her head in silence and did not immediately respond to Brie, who did not force it, and Ariana had a choice of time before closing the deal with Dumbledore.

As for whether Dumbledore and Ariana would agree, Brie had already left a secret hand.

Soon, with the sound of the statue moving, Brie stepped into the hallways of Hogwarts Castle.

"Oh, lo and behold, what we found, a serpent prince who came home late."

"Good evening, Brie."

It was the Wesley twins, but Fred looked at George dissatisfied.

"Hey, George, how are you different from me?" I won't be able to tease Brie together, it's so boring.

Fred's eyes were full of complaints, and he didn't know how to proceed without George's accompaniment.

"Oh, don't do that, Fred, Brie is our best friend, or the financier."

Hearing the word gold lord, Fred's eyes immediately became respectful.

"Oh, our king, welcome your return."

Looking at the two mischievous guys, Brie quickly pulled out a bag of gold coins and handed them to George.

"Didn't see me tonight."

With that, Brie walked upstairs, and Fred and George behind him had already opened their belts, their faces full of gold and smiles.

"Hey, George, we've got the money to keep experimenting, that's cool!"

"Well, are we going to gamble tonight?"

Gambling cards, this is a way to get cards between young wizards recently, and the professors haven't discovered it yet, but the two Wesley, who are the pioneers of mischief, are not the initiators, and they are also the first guys to participate.

"Don't be, this matter will be suppressed soon, let's get out of it quickly, but, maybe we can go see that Hazard tonight, this guy has been running to the forbidden book area for a while, it feels weird, maybe we can cheat him, Hazard is not short of pocket money, not our little Ronnie who can only borrow money from Potter to buy a high-end slug card."

George winked at Fred, and the two of them instantly understood and headed to the library together.

Here, Brie had led Ariana to the door of Dumbledore's office.

"Please come in, little sir."

The stone statue at Dumbledore's door saw that it was Brie, and quickly spoke respectfully, and then opened the door.

As he stepped into the office, Brie felt a gaze, and then Brie saw Dumbledore flicker in front of him and snatch the portrait of Ariana.

"Brother Albus!" In the portrait, Ariana saw Dumbledore, who had not seen him for decades and had become old, and said with tears in her eyes, "Are you doing well, brother?" ”

"Ariana, I ......" Dumbledore choked up and couldn't say anything, just staring at Ariana vigorously.

"If you're doing well, I'm doing well, Ariana, and it's a pleasure to see you again." Dumbledore's tone was soft, this was the smell of humanity that he had never gone out of, but soon, his tone changed sharply, and he looked at Brie sharply: "Of course, this is thanks to Mr. Ode. ”

Dumbledore's eyes were sharp, cold as ice, and he also exposed a strong killing intent to kill.

"Professor Dumbledore." Brie didn't shy away from Dumbledore's gaze, but he waited until Dumbledore's eyes gradually covered a layer of desert before he continued, "Professor, I think there can be a deal between you and me. ”

"Deal?" Dumbledore was surprised, squinting his eyes and saying, "What kind of deal, Mr. Ode." ”

Dumbledore placed the portrait of Ariana in front of him and looked at it carefully, and the eyes of Ariana in the portrait flashed with hesitation, because she didn't know how to tell her brother about it, the possibility of turning herself into a ghost was too self-serving, and she was afraid that she would influence her brother's judgment.

"Professor, you should have checked my Patronus, right?"

A two-horned green serpent gradually condensed from Brie's shoulder, and the snake child stood upright, looking at Dumbledore with the same gentle eyes as Brie.

"Yes, Ode, please go on." Dumbledore thought of something, and his breath froze for a moment, but was quickly disappointed.

He once showed Ariana's situation to Nicol Lemay, hoping to make a body for Ariana, but unfortunately Nicol Lemay couldn't do it.

Ariana is so special, she is a silent ran, and that death, silent ran also erupted at the same time, polluting her soul, causing her soul to continue to break, which can only be preserved every once in a while by using powerful magic to repair it.

As for crafting the body, it is difficult to complete, there are very few items that can withstand the magic of Murmur, and what can withstand it will lead to Murmur's stronger power, causing Ariana's soul to be polluted and turned into a killing monster that no one can suppress.

The soul is Ariana's safest state, that's for sure.

As for the ghosts, Dumbledore had also studied, but Ariana's soul was constantly broken, and she couldn't get in touch with things at all.

The rupture caused by the power of Silence was a mystery that Dumbledore had yet to solve, and according to some of his friends, it was impossible to repair Ariana's soul unless he had the approval of death and the hand of a soul master.

Dumbledore, the head of the Grim Reaper, is unknown, and the soul master Dumbledore has gone through decades of research, but he has not yet reached it.

He was a genius, but not talented in everything, and Transfiguration was his path.

"I may be able to find the Grim Reaper's approval, and I may have some research on the soul."

The green snake on Brie's shoulder slowly crawled down and came to Dumbledore's hand.

Dumbledore was stunned, and countless magical patterns flashed in his eyes.

"Maybe the path you're on isn't safe, Ode." Dumbledore's slightly warning voice rang in Brie's ears.

The Patronus who was still in the form of an egg before was just a growing illusory spirit in Dumbledore's eyes, but Dumbledore didn't know that Brie created souls from nothing, which was not a wizard's thing, it was the realm of gods.

"You see through the nature of the soul?" Dumbledore couldn't help but wonder.

Brie shook her head.

"I saw some things that ordinary people can't see, but I can't say that I see through the whole of the soul, but I still have some methods for nurturing the soul."

"It's to nurture the soul, not to create, Professor, it's different, I'm just guiding the appearance of the soul, a seed grows into a towering tree, which is in line with the laws of this world."

Dumbledore pursed his lips and looked at the young man who was neither humble nor arrogant in the room, and couldn't help but see the scene of the person who had just stepped into Hogwarts, isolated, and sat at the Slytherin table with a cautious face two years ago.

"Well, I haven't been exposed to such magic, and I can't question your words." Dumbledore said slowly, "So what is your deal, I'm just an old man who lacks the company of my family, maybe I only have some candy for you." ”

Brie ignored Dumbledore's trick and said unhurriedly, "Make Ariana a ghost, and you will teach me the Loyalty Charm." ”
