Chapter 285： Meet Aurelius again

On the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, in front of the headmaster's office.

"A pile of cockroaches?"

"Zizi Bee Candy?"

"Taffy?"

"Grindelwald?"

"Gellert Grindelwald?"

"Dumbledore?"

"Uh... crushed almond ice cream?"

The drip-mouth stone beast finally couldn't wait, its terrifying face twisted strangely, and made a low muffled sound: "It's been ten minutes! Did you tell me everything that Mr. Principal is related to?"

Sean, who was leaning against the wall, licked the crushed almond ice cream in his hand: "Not much, British desserts are better than gourmet food, but not by much."

Dripping Mouth Stone Beast: "But this is the password! No, no, no."

"Hmmm... Cribbage Wizard's Shortbread?" Sean blinked.

The Dripping Mouth Stone Beast didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Hey, buddy, I know. You can contact the principal, or you can help me notify Professor Dumbledore. You said, there is no doorbell in such a big principal's office."

The Dripping Mouth Stone Beast did not move, and became like a stone statue again.

It seems that there is no way to do it... Sean ate the last egg cone, dawdled with the drip-mouth stone beast for a while, and finally left angrily.

Why is Dumbledore avoiding me...

Seeing that the two old men were acting, Sean wanted to talk to Mr. Principal, but there was no sign of each other in the castle, nor could he guess the password of the Principal's office, which was always easy to guess.

A somewhat depressed Sean walked towards the end of the corridor. There was an open-air balcony, but few people usually came.

Hermione Daisy, who has been with him all the time, ran to the room of responsiveness. The initial progress of their Animagus was almost the same, but because of the holiday, the first step could not start, but the two had already Started to figure out their Animagos form - they recently found an ancient book in the Room of Requirement that introduced the medieval wizard Animagos form.

Going to the balcony, there are a lot of little people flying around on the Quidditch pitch in the distance, and the students are enjoying the last hours of school entertainment.

The warm breeze blew on his face, and Sean stretched a lot.

The weather has been great recently.

Looking over the Quidditch pitch, Sean could vaguely see the farthest building, the village of Hogsmeade, the only village in the UK full of wizards.

Created here by Hengis of Woodcroft. Hogwarts students can travel here on weekends, but only students from Year 3 and up with permission from their parents or other guardians.

Sean naturally doesn't have to worry that his parents won't sign it, but he has never quite understood why it is only necessary to sign the guardian's signature when going to a wizard village?

This is not a life and death agreement.

He put his hands on the railing and looked lazily into the distance, then narrowed his eyes.

Was there something black coming out of the sky over Hogsmeade?

The black thing kept jumping up, flying to a position where even the students on broomsticks couldn't see it, and it changed direction and flew towards Hogwarts.

The speed of that thing was extremely fast, and when Sean squinted to observe, it was already approaching the castle rapidly.

And Sean finally saw what that thing looked like, a black mass of oily substance.

Silently... No, it should be silent.

The silent one was obviously coming towards the eighth floor, and he also saw Sean on the balcony.

"Hey Sean, long time no see." A familiar voice sounded.

The corners of Sean's mouth raised an arc, and he waved at the black oil.

Silently flew to the balcony, began to twist and deform in the process of falling, and an old man with a long beard appeared beside Sean.

Aurelius Dumbledore.

"Hello, Mr. Dumbledore, long time no see." Sean greeted.

Aurelius waved his hand: "Just call me Aurelius, I hate seniority the most, and you know, Dumbledore refers to my great uncle."

"Okay, Ori... Wait," Sean froze for a moment, "Uncle, is Dumbledore your uncle?"

Aurelius glanced at him suspiciously: "Do I look much older than him?"

"No, I mean, I..." Sean became incoherent.

He still remembers a letter Dumbledore sent him after his trip to Godric's Hollow, referring to Dumbledore's past.

Dumbledore's younger sister, Ariana, was a silent person. In the conflict between Dumbledore and Grindelwald and Aberforth, Ariana was unfortunately affected, and Dumbledore and Grindelwald broke up for a long time.

In order to save his sister, Dumbledore tried the most taboo technique in the field of alchemy - human body forging.

As a result, Ariana's soul became entangled with the phoenix, and souls began to be born naturally in the new body created by alchemy. Dumbledore mentioned that he was separated from the newborn child, and Sean always believed that Aurelius was the newborn soul.

But now, uncle?

Aurelius suddenly showed a clear expression: "Oh, oh, I thought Albus told you. But it is understandable that he has always had a bad relationship with my stinky father."

"……what?"

Aurelius didn't seem to mind revealing the Dumbledore family's family affairs, he casually leaned on the railing and smiled and said: "Because of some past events, Albus never mentions his family in the outside world, and also because of that event. , my father's relationship with him has always been rocky. But, after all this time, the family is the most important thing, isn't it?"

"Uh, Ori, you mean, you are Professor Dumbledore's nephew?" Sean opened his mouth.

Aurelius nodded: "My father's name is Aberforth Dumbledore, which is your headmaster's younger brother, but the relationship between the two brothers has always been bad."

He spread his hands: "But my father is also a jerk. To be honest, time has killed the hatred, and I have only started talking to him in recent years."

Sean opened his mouth, his brain almost shut down because of this complicated information.

Aurelius' left hand turned into black particles, and the particles rested on Sean's chin like a hand.

"I thought you were very receptive," he said with a smile. "Is this news shocking?"

"It was so shocking..."

The vicissitudes flashed in Aurelius' eyes, he turned and looked into the distance: "Time can really smooth out a lot of things."

Looking at the other party's appearance, Sean pursed his lips. The timeline of this world has changed since the Grindelwald Paris meeting.

In other words, the old man named Aurelius, who used to be called Credence, still experienced a painful childhood.

Life is not easy...

Sean leaned against the railing and sighed, imitating Aurelius.

The old man turned his head and smiled softly: "You shouldn't learn anything from my old-fashioned way, how old are you."

Sean chuckled. I don't know if it was because of the parasitic silence in the same body, he always had an affinity for Aurelius.

He simply let go: "Can you tell me about your past? Sir...Oh, Ori."

Aurelius laughed and said, "Actually, it's just such **** things. My father was unwilling to take responsibility when I was young. I drifted overseas when I was a baby. Wrong accident, I even became another person - I lived under another name for the first half of my life."

"And then?" Even though he knew the plot, Sean was still very curious.

Aurelius spread his hands, his face light and calm: "Then, I became a silent person who was not very happy in childhood. At that time, I had nothing but unscrupulous power, and wanted everything. I went the wrong way. , and lost a lot, but now, it is still a good life."

Sean held his head helplessly: "Isn't this the same as not saying it?"

Aurelius smiled happily: "Don't you just want to inquire about Albus and Gellert from me? Or that sentence, Sean, they have to tell you in person."

"Why?" Sean was a little puzzled.

The old man blinked at him following Dumbledore's appearance: "If you haven't experienced it yourself, you will never know how complicated the minds of those two people are. Maybe it's just an ordinary sentence that contains deep meaning, maybe it's just a common action. There are also follow-up intentions. Trying to see through them? Trust me, that's too difficult, to ensure that you don't misunderstand my news and cause accidents, I'd better say less - in fact, I can't figure it out myself. intention of thinking."

"Then, Ori, the two of them?" Sean still didn't give up.

"A break again?" Aurelius Nunu said, "I don't know, um, who knows?"

Sean sighed helplessly, Dumbledore's family is all the same virtue.

Aurelius looked into the distance, he pointed to Hogsmeade: "You can go to Hogsmeade next year, right? There is a pig's head bar there, the owner is my father, maybe you two can talk-- He has always had a bad relationship with Albus anyway."

"What about you, I mean, your father, uh, wasn't very mature when he was young..."

"Well, yes, he's very irresponsible, but he's supposed to be a good guy, right? At least I don't get mad when I talk to him now, and I'm still living with him, and I've always had to deal with the landlord. Be polite?"

Sean smiled: "Ms Nagini?"

Aurelius smiled happily: "Yes, in the last year, her blood curse has been controlled very steadily, and it may not be long before she can go out for a walk - Nagini often mentions you, she Thank you very much for your help."

"Oh, it's all little things."

Aurelius turned around, his habitually hunched back was slightly straight, with a gentle smile on his face: "It is precisely because I have experienced so much suffering that I cherish the sight more and more, I hope we all Yes, Sean."

"Yes, Ori." Sean and the old man shook hands.

Suddenly, he felt a wonderful wave coming from the palm of that vicissitudes of life.

It seems to be a wonderful way of magic, like a notebook that records the veins of magic.

"Ori?" Sean was stunned.

The old man smiled slightly: "Silence is all attractive. Well, as a half pioneer, these experiences may be useful to you."

Sean only felt it slightly, and he was surprised to find that just by learning some experiences, the silence in his body became more active.

Aurelius waved at him: "See you next time with Nagini. Good luck, my friend."

After speaking, he walked towards the castle, leaving only his back.

Sean gently held the palm of his left hand, and the black particles belonging to Silent ooze out from the palm. It changes shape according to Sean's thoughts, and he can even adjust Silent's magic output.

This experience is truly a gift...

After running to the eighth floor, Dumbledore did not see him, but instead saw Aurelius.

Not only did he learn that Ori was Dumbledore's nephew, but he also received a splendid gift for manipulating silently.

Sean raised his eyebrows and smiled, this time it really didn't go in vain.

According to Aurelius's experience, he practiced the manipulation for a while and then, Sean thought of another thing.

Aurelius is actually the son of Aberforth, so who is the alchemist that Dumbledore made?

Dumbledore said that he was separated from the newborn, is it still not found?

After thinking about it for a while, Sean finally gave up.

Let's wait until Dumbledore finds out the truth...

Sean had a hunch that Dumbledore was planning a big event, and in this, what role did Grindelwald play?

The world of adults is too troublesome... The guilt that can destroy the world lives in the body, can transform into a fire dragon at will, has adopted a bunch of xxxx and xxxxx magical animals, and is about to adopt a basilisk. thought.

Hey, it's 3rd grade next year, but I'm still a kid...he walked away slowly.

...

In the evening, in the eyes of anticipation, Sean waited for his package.

Dozens of owls carry a huge wooden box His coo stands on top of the box, and only symbolically **** his wings when he is bored.

Who did this lazy virtue learn from... Sean stroked Gugu's shiny feathers, and then took the letter from its paw.

"Dear Sean:"

"I, your mother and sister are all looking forward to your return, but you gave me a problem this time."

"Of course, a father will never let his pride down, and at your request, I found someone to make these glasses, I hope you can use them - but what are such big glasses for? There are some in the wizarding world. A giant with a snake head? If so, I am amazed at your ability to communicate."

"The drawings are still preserved, and the workers can find them at any time. If you need to improve, you can do it yourself when you come back from summer vacation. Your mother has cleaned your room and your favorite food has been prepared - Ella asked me to add In a word, she also helped, haha, your sister is getting more and more cute."

"When you come back, love your dad, mom and Ella."

Sean's mouth twitched involuntarily.
