Chapter 1013 Are You Not Afraid of Death?
"Huh? Do you know me?"
Luna looked surprised to find that Aberforth seemed to know her.
Of course, Aberforth's memory is beyond doubt. As long as a certain customer has visited his bar once, even after ten or twenty years, he can still remember it clearly.
I still remember that a group of little Hogwarts boys came to his pub to gather together, making some noisy promises made by the children.
That's right, it was the secret meeting of the big guys before the establishment.
And this little girl with long light golden hair, sometimes demure and sometimes very happy, was one of those little wizards at that time.
"What does it matter if I recognize you or not? Go back to Hogwarts and go to sleep. It's already past the time to turn off the lights, right?"
Although Dumbledore's younger brother is kind-hearted, his irritable personality and rough appearance probably don't please the children very much.
Ok! Although he actually doesn't like those children who are always noisy.
However, Luna was never influenced by others, even if Aberforth's tone was really not kind at all, she didn't seem to notice it.
"Oh, the lights are indeed turned off." After nodding, Luna gently grabbed the bar and whispered seriously, "I'll tell you secretly, I actually sneaked out!"
"Do you have to say it in secret?" Aberforth rolled his eyes, his messy white beard twitched, and said angrily, "So, go back to school immediately! Nocturnal excursions are not welcome here little girl"
But before he finished speaking, Luna immediately pursed her lips and shook her head.
"That can't be done!" She tilted her head and said to herself, "Hermione said that Maca is in trouble, and there is no news until now! If this continues, I may never see him again, so I have to Take the initiative to find him."
Also as an intelligence collector of the Order of the Phoenix, Aberforth naturally knew something about it. Now hearing Luna mentioning Maca, he immediately twitched the corner of his mouth.
"What did you bring to him?" Aberforth looked down at her and lowered his voice, "A group of Aurors have been wandering around London for two whole days and nights without seeing a single hair. Do you think you can do it?" What? If you want to care about others, you need to have the ability!"
was talking,
He suddenly turned around again:
"Let me guess that you are here because you want me to take you to London? Look, you can't even apparate yourself, and even if you get there, you just want to cause trouble for others, right?"
For a girl who is underage, Aberforth's words are already very serious. If it were a timid girl like Hannah Abbott, her eyes might be red on the spot.
Unfortunately, it was Luna standing in front of Aberforth at the moment.
"Oh, what you said seems to make sense, so I'll go by myself!"
"Hey! Stop!"
Seeing that she had just finished speaking, the blond girl just nodded, and immediately turned around to leave without hesitation.
While Aberforth felt it was unbelievable, an inexplicable sense of déjà vu suddenly came to his mind.
"Huh?" Luna paused lightly, then turned around in doubt, "Is there anything else?"
"What else?" Aberforth said angrily, "Did I not understand enough just now? You little girl, you can't do anything if you go, why do you still want to go?"
"Because if you don't go, you can't do anything?" Luna said with a natural expression, "Besides, I have worked hard, really!"
"Then you are not afraid of death?"
Aberforth remembered an argument similar to this one he had had with a girl in Godric's Hollow.
Yes, Aberforth's memory is really good, so good that even if he wanted to forget certain memories, he still couldn't really erase them from his mind. network
I still remember that early in the morning, Gellert Greenwald came to find his brother Albus as he did a few days ago.
Albus at that time was not the Albus Dumbledore who was later called "the greatest wizard of modern times". Although Albus was equally ambitious at the time, he was still influenced by his youthful vigor, and he just wanted to achieve something great.
Therefore, under the influence of Greenwald, who was also high-spirited back then, Albus intends to go far away and start a revolution against certain provisions of the International Secrecy Law.
But obviously, the younger sister Ariana, who has hidden dangers in her own magic power, cannot bear the pain of running around.
Due to the bullying she received as a child, Ariana has always been plagued by sporadic insanity and magical runaways. It was precisely because of Ariana's illness that mistakenly killed her mother that their family moved to live in Godric's Hollow.
Now, how could they leave again?
When Aberforth strongly objected and his brother Albus was in a dilemma, Greenwald walked out of the door of Dumbledore's house with a straight face and no words.
Seeing this, Albus immediately chased him out.
But at that moment, Arianna, who had been sitting in the backmost seat and hadn't spoken a word, suddenly spoke.
"If Brother Albus really wants to go, that's fine with me"
Albus is not here, and Greenwald no longer knows about Aberforth. Ariana's words are obviously meant for herself.
But how could he agree?
If Ariana had another magical runaway outside and attracted the attention of the Ministry of Magic, then she would definitely be taken to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and Magic for a lifetime!
"No, no! Absolutely not!"
Aberforth remembered how firmly he refused back then.
Elder brother Aberforth is fine, as long as his poor sister can live in peace and stability for the rest of Aberforth's life, nothing else matters.
It's a pity that he was not yet an adult back then, and he couldn't live with his sister alone. Otherwise, he might have kicked his brother Albus out of the house long ago.
And after that, Aberforth said a lot to his sister. And perhaps because of his concern, with his temper, many of his words at that time were quite direct.
But Arianna didn't seem to care at all, just like the little girl with long pale golden hair in front of her, she looked extremely calm.
No matter what he said, my sister just listened and shook her head gently.
In the end, Aberforth was even a little confused, and said the sentence he regretted most in his life:
"If you think you can go, then go and tell that bastard Albus yourself! But you know, you can't! You can't do anything"
The younger sister who has been bullied since she was a child has always been taciturn, and even rarely talks to his two brothers. So Aberforth took it for granted that it would be difficult for his younger sister, Ariana, to even get out of the house.
But who knew, Ariana stood up in the next second, walked to him and tugged his sleeve lightly, then went straight out of the house to chase her brother Albus.
After that, Aberforth quickly realized his mistake, and he chased after him like crazy.
It's just that maybe his sister took another path, and Aberforth never saw Arianna again along the way. It wasn't until he found Albus and Greenwald by the river that he saw Ariana who was slightly out of breath again.
Of course, it must be wrong to yell at her sister so loudly, but Aberforth never felt that Ariana should be allowed to leave Godric's Hollow.
Even if he was doing his best to take care of her by himself, as for his brother Albus, he didn't want to bother anymore.
Quickly rushing forward, Aberforth pulled Ariana behind him. Facing his elder brother who was a head taller than him, his eyes widened and he stared at him firmly.
"Listen, if you want to play some revolutionary games with this guy, then go alone! Let me tell you, I will never let Ariana go out with you," Aberforth said loudly. "What's more, with Arianna as a bond, do you think you can become a true hero leader?"
Aberforth's words really touched the heart of that Albus at that time.
Arianna is Aberforth's younger sister, but she is also Albus' younger sister. As an older brother, Albus is by no means the kind of person who can abandon family affection, which can be seen from his previous hesitation.
However, Greenwald, who possessed keen insight, immediately noticed Albus' wavering.
As soon as Aberforth finished speaking, and when Albus was still immersed in the wrestling of ambition and family affection, Greenwald, who had almost succeeded in persuading his friends to go out with him to achieve a great cause, became angry.
A Cruciatus Curse hit Aberforth in an instant, causing him to fall to the ground in great pain.
To be honest, Greenwald, who was still young at the time, was probably confused.
Just because of his shot, Albus's nerves were directly provoked, causing the latter to draw out his wand and fight him on the spot.
And Aberforth, who escaped from the Cruciatus Curse under the obstruction of his brother Albus, quickly got up from the ground angrily, turning this sudden duel into a three-person melee.
Yes, he who didn't know about Albus' inner changes, really gritted his teeth and didn't even let his brother off, the scene was a mess.
And at that moment, Arianna, who was stunned not far away, suddenly wanted to stop this unreasonable fight, but was suddenly hit by a spell cast by an unknown person.
The drastic change in the blink of an eye caused the three of them to hang down their wands in astonishment, and Aberforth rushed to his fallen sister with a howl, and hugged her up.
"Why did you rush over! Aren't you afraid of death!"
