Chapter 2007 Die Really Fast

Aberforth had never liked places that were too bright.

So whether it was in the Pig's Head Bar before or in the house in this refugee community, there are only one or two lights left in the house.

Coupled with the fact that the thick curtains blocked the light, even in the daylight, his home was still very dark.

It is now afternoon, and Aberforth is checking the supplies at home in the storage room next to the kitchen. Since the most basic food and water are regularly secretly delivered by the Blois family, normal consumption is nothing to worry about for the time being. . It's just that since he reopened the bar here and provided everyone with a place to spend time and gather for discussions, then the wine must always be prepared, right?

It's a pity that the stock he brought out from the wine cellar of the Pig's Head Bar at that time is not much left now.

"...The flame whiskey is gone? Huh, that damned bald dog, sneaked to my place to steal a drink again... He will come back later, I must beat him out!"

Seeing the old man stretch out his hand to push the wine barrel, he heard the sound of liquid sloshing almost out of it, he immediately cursed a few words angrily, then picked up the empty wine barrel and put it in another place with a frown. side.

And it was at this moment that a knock on the door suddenly sounded from the direction of the back door, and the familiar rhythm made Abufusi raise his eyebrows slightly.

"So early today?"

Unknowingly, Aberforth has gradually gotten used to Charlotte's existence—although this little girl's appearance is not the same as his sister Ariana who passed away in the early years, and her personality is even more different. But I have to say that the care and patience in some small places do have some similarities between the two.

Perhaps... this is the biggest reason why Aberforth, who doesn't like to get too close to others, can gradually accept Charlotte's help by his side!

But it is worth mentioning that the recent Charlotte is more and more similar to the introverted and silent Arianna!

"Come in!" Aberforth heard the knock on the door, and Dang replied loudly without turning his head, "Is it necessary for someone who comes every day to knock on the door every time as if it is the first time?" ?”

However, Charlotte did not give any answer. She just came in silently through the back door of the kitchen next door, put on her apron and sleeves without saying a word, wrung out a rag and went to the bar in the living room to wipe the table.

Aberforth paused for a while, and stood there listening for a few seconds, but in the end he could only shake his head slightly.

After counting all the remaining wine in the storage room, he went to the living room outside again. Seeing that Charlotte was still wiping the table and washing the wine glasses, he paused slightly, before saying:

"Take a rest when you're ready. There will definitely be a lot of people coming tonight, and it's probably going to be very late...I'll go upstairs to catch up on sleep. Don't call me if it's okay."

After that, he turned around and walked out of the bar, heading straight for the side stairs. But before he stepped on the first step, he heard a soft "click" from the front door.

Because the front door hadn't opened yet, it was probably because someone came and pushed the door, that made such a noise—in short, it seemed that a certain "guest" had also arrived earlier.

"I'll go."

Charlotte said softly, then put down the rag in her hand, and walked towards the gate. But now, the one outside began to knock on the door.

"Tuk-tuk--"

"Crack."

When Charlotte opened the door to have a look, she found Sirius standing outside. When he saw Charlotte, he smiled at her.

"Oh, you're here? Good afternoon... I thought I had to enter through the back door again today, Aberforth takes a nap in the afternoon almost every day."

As he said this, he walked in very naturally. But soon, he saw Aberforth standing in front of the stairs, looking at him with displeasure.

"I don't welcome guys who steal wine here! Get out quickly, don't let me throw you out myself!"

"Hey, Aberforth, I just wanted to have a normal drink today."

Sirius actually just came back from Beauxbaton at this moment, if it were someone else, he would definitely want to ask him about Madame Maxime's letter right away. And this is undoubtedly what he is having a headache.

Fortunately, Aberforth is not curious about those things, so he doesn't need to worry too much for the time being. And obviously, Aberforth is much more tolerant now than in the past.

"A thief doesn't distinguish between today and yesterday!"

Although he said so, Aberforth didn't really want to drive him away. Seeing Sirius walking towards the bar, he was not in a hurry to go upstairs at all, but turned around and walked back to the storage room.

"same as usual!"

Sirius added, but Aberforth ignored it.

Not long after, he took a wine bottle to the back of the bar, took a glass at random, and then threw both of them heavily in front of Sirius.

"The flame whiskey has been drunk by a bald dog who is used to being a thief, and now there is only ordinary monk whiskey." Aberforth said impatiently, "If you want to drink it, pour it yourself."

"Of course, of course, which time you didn't pour it yourself?"

Not paying attention to the words "bald dog", Sirius pulled out his wand and nibbled lightly on the rim of the glass. Accompanied by a few soft "clang clang clang" sounds, several ice cubes jumped and fell into the cup.

After pouring himself a small half cup, Sirius raised his neck and drank it down in one gulp, followed by Ci ah and slowly exhaled a mouthful of stale air.

Aberforth, who is used to observing customers, has naturally seen that there are troubles in his heart, but... nowadays, who doesn't have a lot of troubles that can be piled up in piles! This situation is not surprising.

Otherwise, why did the wine in his storage room run out so quickly?

"By the way, Aberforth, I want to ask you a little question." Sirius poured some amber wine again, took a sip, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, and shook his head. He raised his voice, "When Albus left...what kind of feeling did you have in your heart?"

"Are you sure you want to listen?"

Hearing this, Aberforth couldn't help frowning and glanced at him. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he curled his lips and said:

"It's very simple - die really fast!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Sirius choked.

Although he more or less knew that there seemed to be some conflicts between the Dumbledore brothers, but he was still a little speechless when he heard Aberforth's answer.

Regardless of whether this is serious or not, at least... To be able to describe the death of one's own brother in this way is probably not something that ordinary people can do.

"Forget it," Sirius waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can't use it as a reference."

After finishing speaking, he immediately took another sip of wine, and swallowed it all with the helplessness in his heart.
