"Where the treasure is, the heart is also there."
This is the inscription engraved by Albus Dumbledore on the tombstone of his sister Ariana. It also contains the irreparable apology he gave to his sister after he woke up.
Albus didn't know that his brother albus wanted to embark on the road of reform with his good friend greenward because of his sister Ariana.
Because of Ariana's mental instability, the Ministry of magic will be afraid that she will be unconsciously exposed to Muggles.
At that time, many measures were not perfect. In order to prevent Ariana from violating the confidentiality law one cold day, they would send her to the special ward of St. Mungo under house arrest for life.
What a bu thought to do was to overthrow the high wall between Muggles and wizards, the secrecy law.
However, I don't know when, his ideas were gradually influenced by greenward. In some young and ambitious, their aspirations become more and more broad and extreme.
"We can build a new order led by wise and powerful wizards and wizards and rule the whole world in a benevolent way... Including Muggles."
I don't know who said this, but it has indeed become one of their highest goals - just overthrowing the law can't meet their gradually expanding ambitions.
However, if you want to achieve that brilliance, you must be based on the top of the world. This big step can't be taken by dreams alone.
They need someone to follow.
When these two wise young wizards realized this, a mantra was born:
"For the greater good."
Unfortunately, I don't know whether it is lucky or unfortunate.
When the two of them thought of this step only at the door of their home and were ready to do something, Ariana's accidental death penetrated albus's hot heart like a cold blade.
Greenward left. He took away the words that had become the mantra of the two people, and finally became his dark slogan of tyranny and making big mistakes.
Of course, these obviously have nothing to do with aberforth, who lost his sister.
In fact, his whole life was almost frozen at the moment when Ariana, who was like a rag doll, roared out the sentence "aren't you afraid of death".
He cried, he roared, and the blood on his fist mixed with the dust on the ground. He scolded his brother albus at his sister's funeral, and even broke his brother's nose with his bandaged hand
But he himself knew that the deepest thorn in his heart was his yelling at his sister at home.
Albus hates his brother albus, but I'm afraid he hates himself even more.
……
"Are you not afraid of death?"
Facing the blonde girl outside the bar, aberforth almost clenched his teeth and asked this question - a question he couldn't get a response when he held his sister Ariana.
Because abufu thought that when a girl left her castle alone for someone, what was in her mind?
"Of course I'm afraid! I don't want to die -" Luna blinked, and her pure eyes made aberforth's hands tremble. "I know it's dangerous outside... But there are some things that must be done."
After a little pause, the eyes suddenly became trance again.
"You know?" she said leisurely, "life itself is meaningless - I thought a lot after my mother died because she made a mistake in experimenting with a magic spell. But when Maka completed the spell and put it in my hand, I seemed to understand that my mother's life is meaningful at once."
"Because you see, when my mother is persistent in studying magic spells, my father always supports them silently; and until my mother died, my father didn't say that her research is worthless..."
Luna spoke slowly, and every word was printed in aberforth's heart.
Although with Luna's erratic thinking, he didn't understand it. But perhaps this is what his sister, who has never understood, once thought silently?
Finally, Luna finally said:
"So I'm going to find Maka. I can't let him disappear like this - I have to tell him that everything he has done must be meaningful and valuable, because even if everyone forgets, I will remember them well."
"... just like dad did."
This is probably the first time Luna has stated her hazy ideas very clearly.
At first, Hermione wanted to stop Maka so that he didn't have to work so hard, so she didn't hesitate to ask Luna to persuade Maka. But Luna resolutely refused her request on the spot.
Now it seems that her idea actually refers to her heart more directly than what she said to Hermione at that time.
"Oh, I think I have to go! See you later!"
Aberforth didn't notice Luna's turning away for the first time, because his thoughts had drifted to the moment frozen by himself with Luna's words.
Yeah! Even if Ariana is silent every day, she seems to live in her own world. But sometimes, doesn't she feed the sheep with herself and study with albus?
As their sister, she has always supported her two brothers - she hopes that they can live the life they want, rather than being confined to the Godric valley where there is nothing all their life.
Even if, she may be imprisoned in San Mungo for a lifetime, or even lose her life.
"Get out!"
"It's closed tonight. Let's go out!"
Aberforth came out from behind the bar, yelled loudly and rushed straight to the door of the bar. Just like her sister Ariana, who decisively rushed out of the false harbor called home.
He didn't notice that at the moment he rushed out of the door, in the half closed door in the bar, the girl in the magic portrait showed a warm smile rarely seen in decades.
……
A moment later, central London.
Luna walked with a brisk pace under street lights. Not far behind her, Albus followed slowly and quietly looking at the small back in front of her.
Ariana and Luna are undoubtedly two very different girls. But in aberforth's eyes, there is some unspeakable connection between them.
After a while, Albus hurried two steps and came to Luna's side.
"Be careful, the danger may be hidden in some shadow!"
If he had been the usual, he would never have said such words with concern. But in the end, he can't be a bodyguard with a little girl before tonight. What are you doing now?
However, it is worth mentioning that as far as a bodyguard is concerned, aberforth is actually quite appropriate.
As the brother of the great wizard, although he can't match his brother's talent and strength at all, his inexplicably strong physique combined with his good magic ability can be called an enhanced version of Hagrid.
Coupled with his aggressive temper since he was young, at least Luna has a strong guarantee along the way.
"Well... Hey, little girl!"
Aberforth called Luna, but only now did he realize that he didn't seem to know the little girl's name.
However, with his informal character, he soon ignored this little thing in the past.
"You've been walking for ten minutes, haven't you? So, do you have any way to find that boy McClane? Or are you just going to hang out like this?"
"Huh?" Luna said without thinking. "Oh, yes, yes! Just follow me!"
Upon hearing the speech, aberforth said without a word:
"Don't just answer 'yes', what can you say! To tell the truth, the boy has a good relationship with me. If you say it, I can help, can't I?"
"This..."
Hearing what he said, Luna could not help twisting her mouth in some embarrassment.
"I don't know what to say... Well, feel it. Can you see these small things around you? It's like dust. Each feeling is different..."
"Grains of dust? What?" aberforth stared around in doubt.
"As soon as they use the magic spell, they will move by themselves..." Luna said, gesticulating casually, but soon shook her head and said, "I can't say, in short, that's it - if there's anything strange, I'll find it."
"What?"
Of course aberforth didn't know, but he would be surprised if Marca was here.
Because what Luna saw was undoubtedly the magic of being free in the air. He suffered a lot in order to sense them.
However, I don't know what's going on with Luna, but I can suddenly feel it.
But in fact, the spiritual level is quite pure, but she is naturally more talented than other wizards.
What's more, when Hermione, Harry, Neville... And even Ron are struggling tirelessly, I'm afraid her low-key efforts will often pay attention to her, and Hermione will really notice it.
"'The purity of the soul adds to the purity of the spirit, and the root of the spell comes from it '," Luna whispered suddenly. "Not long ago, I saw it in a book in the school library. You can also try it."
Aberforth blinked twice. He didn't know what to say. He had to follow Luna while he was puzzled.
The big and small figures soon turned a corner and disappeared into the other side without street lights.
