From Azkaban To Hogwarts - Vol 7 Chapter 567
“Wizard over there, stop, yes, that’s you, as if your name was William?”
When William and the others were about to leave the Hog’s Head and go back to school, they were stopped by the tall, thin old man with a long pile of grey hair and a beard that looked a bit like Dumbledore.
“It’s me, I’m William.”
William was stunned for a moment, then stood in front of Lupin – he was a little confused, how did this guy come out?
“Can we talk alone?”
He said something like a negotiation, but he couldn’t refuse at all.
If it were another wizard, William would have to pull out his wand at this moment, but this one, he decided to sell some face.
“Okay, Professor Lupin, please go to the bar and drink something to pass the time.”
While speaking to Lupin, he used the cover of his body to covertly and quickly wrote a sentence in the air, “Be careful, this one is not easy to deal with.”
Lupin nodded calmly, while William followed Aberforth carefully to a rather remote corner.
Aberforth was the first to stop. William looked at the surrounding environment, and after confirming the hidden corners that could be used, he pulled out his wand before the other party opened his mouth to clean up the surrounding environment, so as to prevent any important information from being accidentally leaked.
Watching him check over there, Aberforth was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, “I have some idea why he chose you.”
“Who?”
“Who else could it be, my brother, Albus.”
? ? ?
William’s eyes widened – shouldn’t this be a secret? You fight two kings when you come up to fight the landlord?
But when the king exploded, he could only shout that he was not good enough, but he must still be so shocked as if he had just heard the news, “Albus? You mean the principal? You’s brother?”
“Of course, my brother, Albus.”
Aberforth didn’t seem to want to entangle with William on such a topic at all. “You are a self-defense professor, the person in charge of defense work in the castle?”
First of all, I am a professor, and my main task is to teach students. Although I am also responsible for protecting the safety of the castle, it is not so much. Secondly, I am more professional Professor Moody – but William just thought about it and didn’t plan to talk to Aberfolk. Thought explained.
Anyway, the other party seems to be relying on him, and he has made up his mind, not to mention the headmaster’s younger brother, even if the headmaster suddenly has an illegitimate child, he has to make Hogsmeade completely safe for the weekend .
“Yes, I am in charge.”
“very good.”
Aberforth nodded, and just when William thought he was going to find an excuse to break the weekend ban, the man who seemed to have a bad temper suddenly said something that frightened William.
“Then,” Aberforth looked at William with a look in Dumbledore’s eyes, “I’m going to tell you now, my brother, Albus, he’s crazy.”
? ? ?
William’s eyes widened – he had thought about the situation of Sapo rolling around, he had also thought about the situation of bullying others, and he had even made a plan to do it in case, but he just never thought about it, he could hear such a sentence!
Because he was so surprised, William didn’t even know how to respond to this Aberforth’s statement for a while.
If someone else said something like this, William would try to talk a few words to see if this person drank the wrong potion or deliberately provoked and then chose to do it, but now this statement deserves more patience from William.
“I don’t quite understand…”
William responded tentatively, looking at those eyes that looked like Dumbledore, “Can you repeat it again?”
“I said, my brother, Albus, he’s crazy.”
“Sir, this kind of joke is not easy to make,” William shook his head decisively. When he blew himself up, he scolded Dumbledore that your whole family was a big idiot and could suffocate the headmaster, so this kind of remark can’t be considered too offensive. ” You have to speak with evidence.”
“Of course there is. You are a professor of self-defense at Hogwarts, and you should know better than me how much Albus has neglected his career during this time…”
“…”
For the first time, William knew that he was so lacking in language – this gentleman named Aberforth, do you have any wrong understanding of Dumbledore’s main business?
Since William came to the school to take up his post, Dumbledore has not appeared in the school very much. The approval of funds and the arrangement of courses are all in charge of Professor McGonagall…
But how could he explain this? Said to the principal’s younger brother, oops, don’t worry, our principal has been fishing since my first day at work?
Seeing that William wasn’t nervous, Aberforth was directly angry – he was not very satisfied with Dumbledore, and even the professor of Hogwarts was naturally not fond of him, and it was extraordinary to be able to say that calmly. played.
“He’s tinkering with that mess again! And he’s babbling!”
…
When not, and Dumbledore has been busy with Horcrux-related issues these days.
William was less nervous—if that was Aberforth’s reason, it would have to be heard as a joke that couldn’t be told.
“He’s working on that! And he’s trying to use the power of the Philosopher’s Stone!”
Seeing the obvious disbelief on William’s face, Aberforth directly threw the real King Bang.
“Magic stone?”
He looked at Aberforth with surprise, he knew about the Philosopher’s Stone. Hagrid had mentioned it when he was just entering school. Later, he realized that the magical stone had been destroyed.
“Yes, the Philosopher’s Stone.”
Seeing that his words finally caught William’s attention, a smile finally appeared on Aberforth’s face.
‘How could it be a Philosopher’s Stone? That thing is ruined, is it Aberforth who doesn’t know? Or…’
There are several guesses in William’s mind – he can’t reveal the information about the destruction of the Philosopher’s Stone for the time being, because although the person in front of him is the principal’s younger brother, he probably doesn’t know the relevant information.
“I guess, you must be thinking that the Philosopher’s Stone has been destroyed, and this crazy guy probably doesn’t know this information…”
Aberforth looked at William, his eyes more and more like Dumbledore.
“That’s it…”
William nodded, he wasn’t going to reveal more, just see how much this guy was going to say.
“It’s really destroyed, it’s just that Albus is going to make a new one.”
? ? ?
William’s eyes widened, making a new one? So why destroy the original and why make a new one?
“I know what you’re thinking, I can tell you, the professor named William… In fact, the Philosopher’s Stone stayed in my hands for a long time, until it became useless for me, and it was Locked in Gringotts vault.”
“You’re very smart, but have you ever thought about why Nick Lemay is French and lives in France, but the Philosopher’s Stone he made is kept in England? Even sent to Hogwarts for preservation?”
…
William’s eyes widened – yes, he never thought about it!
Since he knew the Philosopher’s Stone was destroyed, he hadn’t tracked it down much, but now Aberforth told him about it…
“You mean, the Philosopher’s Stone was used by you before?”
“It’s not…” Aberforth was silent for a while, “it’s my son, Aurelius Dumbledore… I’m going to ask Albus for mercy, he’s a friend of Nick Lemay and borrowed it for me. the Philosopher’s Stone, and made enough elixir to keep him alive…”
…
So, that’s why the Philosopher’s Stone is kept in Gringotts? Because Dumbledore asks his friends for help, the Philosopher’s Stone keeps many people alive at the same time?
William didn’t ask. He didn’t want to know whether a sufficient amount of elixir was prepared in advance for the life of that Aurelius, or whether the medicine made by the Philosopher’s Stone was useless.
“But, it’s changed now,” Aberforth looked up from his memory and looked at William, “Albus, who destroyed the Philosopher’s Stone, has disappeared. Now he’s starting to study the elixir, and he’s chasing the Philosopher’s Stone. He’s gone mad.”
…
To be fair, Dumbledore suddenly became afraid of death, and began to think of ways to escape death. This kind of thing made William feel that the design was broken, but he was not too surprised – what if he really made an elixir of life?
There are many ways to maintain youth in black magic. The Philosopher’s Stone is the most upright existence. Even if it is publicly shouted in the magical world, this is a great achievement, and no one will say anything.
Nick Lemay got a chocolate frog because of the Philosopher’s Stone, it’s not a big deal.
Seeing William’s expression change from nervousness to nothing but this ease, Aberforth almost pointed at William’s nose and shouted, “You don’t understand, you don’t understand Albus at all!”
“My brother wanted a lot of things, but each of you thought he was born with light in every pore! We grew up together and I know him better than anyone! He was in my mother’s lap! Secrets and lies, that’s how we grew up, and Albus…he was born that way.”
Aberforth shouted hysterically, which made William look a little surprised – he had heard the name of this Aberforth, a big man in the smuggling world, who had always been known for his good memory, and he had no idea of him. It’s going to be the way it is now.
Especially unreasonable – according to him, Dumbledore borrowed the Philosopher’s Stone for him to keep his son alive, but in the end he hated Dumbledore?
Perhaps because he felt that what he had revealed was not ruthless enough, Aberforth gritted his teeth and threw the real Wang Bang directly.
“He’s working on the Philosopher’s Stone, maybe you don’t think so – Dumbledore’s immortality is a bit surprising, but it doesn’t seem to be, but what if I told you he picked up those Grindelwald things?”
“Grindelwald?”
The name gave William a bit of a toothache—not a good thing.
He taught self-defense, and naturally he knew the weight of this person who could leave his name in the entire history of the development of black magic.
Before Voldemort’s rise in England, the name of Grindelwald was really associated with the Dark Lord – even Dumbledore himself was hailed as the first white wizard after defeating Grindelwald.
“Yes, Grindelwald’s dangerous stuff – he’s rummaging for that, I know, he thinks he’s doing it very covertly, but I can’t say I know all about the grey business in the whole UK, but I can focus on more than 60% and It’s not a big problem.”
He pulled out his wand and drew a green symbol, “See? The saint’s sign—my brother, Albus, is working on this right now, and he’s even working on some of Grindelwald’s leftovers. ”
“this…”
William didn’t know how to explain it for a while – but what he guessed more was that Dumbledore should be looking for Grindelwald’s research on Horcruxes. any special cognition.
“Looks like you still don’t quite believe he’s crazy…”
Aberforth laughed angrily—he thought this sharp self-defense professor could be different from others, but unfortunately, he was also deceived by Albus.
“Then,” Aberforth looked at William, preparing to drop the most important bomb on top of all the information, “if I tell you, he and Grindelwald were best friends before, even the idea of a saint. They all created it together, what do you think is the reason for this?”
“You are joking…”
William shook his head again and again – he didn’t believe the information at all.
Are Dumbledore and Grindelwald friends? Why don’t you say that Dumbledore is the No. 1 Death Eater, that UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is ahead of Umbridge?
Who doesn’t know that Dumbledore shattered Grindelwald’s dream? Who doesn’t know that Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald head-on?
Laughing ridiculously, William couldn’t laugh anymore, Aberforth looked serious – if he wasn’t joking, the fun would be really big.
Pursuing longevity is nothing, and researching Grindelwald’s materials makes sense, but if you combine the two, it’s not an ordinary problem.
“This is not an ordinary joke, Mr. Aberforth. If you don’t have any evidence, don’t tell anyone about this kind of thing at will. Even me, I’ll be angry when I hear it.”
“This is a list of items that Albus has recently purchased. Some of them are still trying to purchase anonymously. He tries to cover up the past, but I know…”
Aberforth handed over a piece of paper, and the detailed information on it startled William.
If that’s true – then Dumbledore is really…
“Sorry, it’s a big deal, I need to investigate…”
He became serious, took the paper in Aberforth’s hand, checked that there was no magic such as curse and positioning on it, and carefully stuffed it into his pocket.
“I’ll give you an answer in two days at most, Mr. Aberforth.”
William nodded with a serious look on his face, “This is a very serious issue, please protect yourself…”
As soon as William said this, it felt weird – Dumbledore couldn’t kill his brother, could he?
However, a bit of relief appeared on Aberforth’s face, “I will.”
William nodded with a smile on his face. After eating two pieces of chocolate, the smile became normal. Then he went to the bar and called Lupin, “Let’s go, Professor Lupin, I finally persuaded him!”
