Chapter 840 Ariana

At night in Godric's Hollow, Dumbledore and Grindelwald eloped... er, that is, they signed a blood pact in the barn privately and then ran away.

On the roof of the attic of Dumbledore's house, a teenage girl was struggling to climb out of the window and climbed to the roof with her hands and feet.

"What were you wearing just now?" She walked to Kyle and asked curiously again: "Why couldn't I see you just now."

"Invisibility cloak, also called invisible cloak." Kyle said, "A small prop that can make others unable to see you."

He took the invisibility cloak and draped it on Ariana's shoulders. The little girl immediately screamed in surprise.

"Ah, it's really gone."

Then she quickly covered her mouth and looked at a window next to her in panic. She was slightly relieved until she found that there was no movement there, and continued to look at her half body that disappeared curiously.

"What's wrong?" Kyle also turned his head. If he guessed correctly, that should be Aberforth's room...

"No, nothing." Ariana shook her head quickly and lowered her voice: "We'd better be quiet, otherwise we will wake up Brother Aberforth. He is scary when he is angry."

"It's okay." Kyle said with a smile, and he took out a screaming book from his pocket.

This is a product of Weasley's Magic Wheezes. It imitates the gadgets in the forbidden area of ​​the library. As soon as it was opened, a shrill scream came from it.

Ariana was frightened and turned around to run to the attic.

But soon she found that Aberforth, who would wake up immediately at the slightest movement, still had no intention of turning on the light in his room.

Ariana suddenly panicked.

"Don't worry, he's fine, he just can't hear the sound from our side." Kyle explained hurriedly.

"Can't hear?" Ariana turned her head in confusion, "Why can't I hear it? Brother Aberforth has very good ears."

"The ear plug listening spell." Kyle said softly, "It's a very practical and simple magic. You can do it too."

When saying this, Kyle has been observing Ariana.

After hearing the word "magic", a faint black mist inexplicably emerged from her shoulders, which was quite conspicuous even at night, but she herself did not seem to notice the changes in herself.

"Can I... too?" Ariana asked a little dazedly,

"Yes, you are a witch, of course you can." Kyle continued, as if there was some kind of bewitching in his voice.

This time, Ariana's eyes showed obvious resistance, her expression became trance, and the black mist on her shoulders became more obvious, even spreading to her arms.

The black mist drifted and fell on the tiles on the roof, and the tiles immediately turned into powder.

This is the Obscurus.

Kyle felt nervous.

Without exception, the Silents are very resistant to using magic and their identity as wizards, and will subconsciously reject all topics related to it.

At this time, Ariana has reached the critical point. Kyle believes that if he says anything more about magic, the black mist will instantly break the restraints of Ariana's body and rush over to tear him into pieces.

But this is intentional by Kyle, and he has already got the answer he wants.

Since he came here, he has thought about checking on Ariana.

She is Dumbledore's heart knot... Dumbledore doesn't even care about the magic world and Voldemort, but he has to come back, which is enough to explain the problem.

If I do nothing, I'm afraid Dumbledore will not leave with me easily, even if I am here to save him.

Although this meeting was unexpected and the location was a bit hasty, in a sense, it is just right.

There is no one else here. The most perceptive Dumbledore and Grindelwald have left, leaving only Aberforth, who has just entered the fifth grade.

As long as Kyle wanted, no matter what he did, Aberforth would not be able to find out.

If Grindelwald came back, it would not be so easy for him to contact Ariana again.

So after a brief thought, he said those words to Ariana.

Through simple probing, Kyle found that Ariana's situation was not that bad, or much better than he thought.

Before coming here, Kyle had deliberately looked up information about the Obscurus and wrote to Newt to ask.

There was an Obscurus in Newt's box, and he himself had studied this thing for a long time. According to him, when the Obscurus came into contact with anything related to magic, there was a possibility of a magical riot.

But Ariana was different. When Kyle mentioned magic for the first time, she only showed a slight resistance, and she was even sober. If she changed the topic at that time, nothing would happen.

Even if Kyle was a little bolder the second time and directly pointed out her identity as a witch, Ariana could actually control her emotions and force herself not to let the Obscurus run out.

If this situation goes further and she completely accepts her identity, then Ariana will be able to perfectly control the Obscurus and make it a helper instead of a threat.

However, this is difficult. There is only one person who can do this... Well, it can't be said that at present, that person has not been born yet.

To be precise, it should be decades later, but what's interesting is that the person who can control Obscurus is also named Dumbledore.

There are only a handful of Obscursians, but if there are two, they are all Dumbledore. Is it a coincidence?

There was more and more black mist on Ariana's body. Kyle shook his head and did not continue to think about it. He turned the wand slightly with the hand behind his back, and magic words began to flash around.

Then, Kyle took out a handful of candies with his other hand and handed them to Ariana.

"I just said nonsense. Do you want to eat some candy? It's very sweet."

There was no response. Ariana was already in an unconscious state. She was probably trying to suppress Obscurus and couldn't hear what he said.

But Kyle doesn't need to either.

He opened a box, and a yellow bee buzzed in the sky and suddenly got into Ariana's half-open mouth.

The unique sweetness of raspberries began to spread rapidly. Miraculously, the black mist on Ariana's body became lighter and lighter, and her dull, unfocused eyes became clear again.

This method of suppressing the outbreak of Obscurus was also provided by Newt and was written in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

According to his theory, most Obscurials' magical outbursts are due to out-of-control emotions, but sweet things can soothe this situation very well, especially since most Obscurials are children, using sugar to solve the problem is even more effective.

Of course, this method is limited to the fact that the other party has not completely exploded. If Mo Ran ran out, it would be useless even if the entire candy store was moved here.

Soon, the black fog disappeared.

"It's so delicious." Ariana squinted her eyes happily, as if she had completely forgotten what happened just now, "Brother Aberforth brings me these little bees every time he comes, they are so delicious.

"But it will take a long time for him to come back. I can't bear to eat it."

"It's okay, you can open it up and eat it this time." Kyle said with a smile, and took out more candies until the small roof was filled with various colorful packaging boxes.

Ariana's eyes widened. She had never seen so many candies. Even her brother Aberforth, who loved her the most, only brought her two or three boxes every time he came back from vacation. Even if he saved on eating, he would only bring her one. The moon is gone.

But what Kyle brought out, Ariana could eat for half a year.

"I, I can't have..."

Although she was shocked inside, Ariana's character still made her shake her head and reject Kyle's kindness.

"It doesn't matter, just treat it as a meeting gift." Kyle put all the candies into a bag with a traceless stretching spell, and threw it directly into the attic where she was located through the window.

He just discovered that Ariana was very responsive to magic, but she was not repelled by such simple magic items... When she saw the invisibility cloak, she had no reaction at all.

Maybe it's because of the difference in senses. After all, the appearance of magic items is no different from ordinary items... Or maybe it's because she has been locked up and has limited knowledge, so she doesn't know what it is.

As for the specific reason, Kyle couldn't tell. After all, he didn't know much about Obscurus. He could ask Newt when he got back.

"...Thank you." Ariana said.

This was the first time that someone other than Aberforth gave her a gift, and it was something as precious as candy.

For Ariana, who has been locked up at home, candy is the most precious thing.

"You're welcome." Kyle smiled. It's just a little candy, you just have to buy more.

"Do you know my brother?" Ariana asked suddenly.

"Which one do you mean?"

"Brother Albus." Ariana glanced at the barn, "Weren't you just looking at him?"

"You know where he is?"

"I can see him and another boy." Ariana said, "They have been in that barn recently. I can feel that Brother Albus was very happy at that time. Are you also their friend? ?”

"Well, we know each other." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "But the Albus I know may not be the same person you think."

Ariana tilted her head, obviously not understanding what Kyle meant.

It's obviously Albus Dumbledore, so how could it not be the same person?

Kyle didn't explain either. If he had to explain the principle of the time turner to a teenage witch, she probably wouldn't have been able to understand it even the previous day.

Fortunately, Ariana did not dwell on this issue. She was happy that someone could chat with her and give her precious candies, but at the same time, she felt a little uneasy.

Ariana looked at Kyle, as if she had made a lot of determination, and asked: "Aren't you... afraid of me?"

"Why should I be afraid of you?" Kyle was slightly stunned and asked.

Ariana blinked and shook her head again, her voice soft and soft, "I don't know, but many people are afraid of me. Brother Aberforth said that I can't leave the room, otherwise I will scare others and be imprisoned." A very scary place... No one else came to see me, you were the first one."

"Hmm... maybe I'm more courageous." Kyle said vaguely.

He knew Aberforth was right.

Once the Obscurial is discovered, he will be taken to St. Mungo's for close supervision and is not allowed to leave or visit. It can be said that except that there are no dementors, there is almost no difference from Azkaban.

But no one can say that this method is wrong. The Obscure is too unstable. Once it erupts, it will be a devastating disaster for the people around.

After a short silence, the dark window next to it suddenly lit up.

Ariana was startled.

"Brother Aberforth is awake. If he finds me leaving the attic, he will definitely scold me." She began to climb into the attic in a hurry.

After half of her body was in, she suddenly remembered something and reluctantly took off the invisible cloak hanging on her body and put it on the eaves.

Compared with candy, she liked this magical clothes that made others invisible to her more. With it, maybe she could leave the attic and go outside.

But this is someone else's thing after all, and she can't take it even if she likes it.

"Will you come again?" Ariana asked cautiously. She likes someone to chat with her, but her brothers are too busy. Kyle is the first stranger who is willing to chat with her in all these years.

Kyle was silent for a moment and nodded.

After getting the answer she wanted, Aberforth happily retracted her head.

Not long after Ariana returned to the pavilion, Aberforth's voice was heard.

"Who's there!" He stuck his head out, holding a wand in his hand, and looked out the window fiercely, but there was no one on the roof at this time.

"Damn it, it must be the catkins nearby. Why can't they go somewhere else to find food." Aberforth cursed and closed the window.

Kyle didn't come out from the corner until the lights went out again.

The reason why Aberforth could hear the movement was naturally because he secretly canceled the ear-blocking spell.

He didn't dare to say too much to Ariana. In the short time just now, he thought several times whether he could do something.

But the problem is that Ariana's death is a fact that has already happened. It was because of this incident that stimulated Dumbledore, making him finally wake up and know what he should do.

In other words, if Ariana didn't die, Dumbledore would most likely embark on the same path as Grindelwald.

Maybe he will wake up later, but when that happens, and what will happen in the middle, no one knows, and by that time, there will probably be no Headmaster Dumbledore.

So Kyle was very entangled. On the one hand, how to bring Headmaster Dumbledore back smoothly, and on the other hand, how to maintain the original history... These two completely opposite paths made his mind a mess.

Kyle didn't dare to continue the conversation, so he could only use this method to temporarily end the topic and prepare to talk about it after seeing Dumbledore.

If he guessed correctly, Dumbledore should be here soon after the blood covenant was completed.

As for why he agreed to come to Ariana again, Kyle didn't know, anyway, he agreed to it for some reason, and now he regrets it.

Forget it, go back and have a good sleep first.

Kyle rubbed his forehead, didn't look back, and returned to the Valley Bar as quickly as possible.

...

The next day, Kyle was awakened by a burst of angry curses downstairs. It was Aberforth, who was cursing Dumbledore and Grindelwald, who left without saying goodbye, with extremely vicious words.

The bar owner gave him a glass of honey wine for the first time, but it couldn't suppress his anger.

Kyle bypassed him and came to the outside of the bar.

He stayed in the barn during the day. Dumbledore and Grindelwald went to the highlands in the south, so naturally no one came here. He could wait here with peace of mind without worrying about being discovered.

Unfortunately, he waited until the evening that day, but there was no harvest. Dumbledore still didn't come.

The same was true for the next few days. Kyle would come to the barn during the day, and then go to the attic of Dumbledore's house as promised at night to chat with Ariana.

Most of the time, Ariana was talking. She would share with Kyle about her two brothers. Kyle listened quietly beside her until he felt that it was almost time, and then he would deliberately make some noise.

It was just a pity for Aberforth, who was woken up once every night. He even went to the nearby woods in a rage, ready to teach the catkins there a lesson... At least to let them know that running on other people's roofs every night is a very impolite behavior.

But the result... He seemed to have overestimated his ability and underestimated the catkins. He rushed into the woods aggressively and limped out of it. Obviously, he was taught a lesson by the catkins in return.

Fortunately, that night, the 'catkins' did not visit their roof again.
