Hiding in Hogwarts as a professor

“Ariana…”

Hearing this voice, Dumbledore’s eyes went blank for a second, but soon became filled with excitement.

He looked around and finally saw the figure he had been waiting for.

Dumbledore immediately confirmed that Ariana’s current state was neither a ghost nor a living person of flesh and blood.

She is more like Malvolio’s state after gaining vitality. Even though his body appears to be flawless on the outside, it is so empty on the inside as if there is only this perfect shell.

But this was Ariana, the biological sister he longed to meet…

She was still wearing the clothes she had worn when she died, and her figure and appearance were fixed at that moment, but the timid smile on her face was no longer, but a cute smile as if she was relieved.

But seeing the Resurrection Stone in Dumbledore’s hand, she seemed to understand everything.

“You shouldn’t be like this.” She said angrily.

“The Resurrection Stone is a useless thing. You should look forward, brother. Being immersed in the past will only waste your talents and abilities.”

“No, I would rather give up all my talents and abilities, and even my life, in exchange for your resurrection…” Dumbledore shook his head bitterly, not daring to look directly into his sister’s bright eyes.

“I won’t allow it!”

Ariana puffed out her face and pretended to be majestic.

“There is no means of resurrection at all. You know this better than me. Even if there is, I will not allow you to desecrate my life!”

“And my life has ended long ago. You should accept this, brother!”

At the end of the sentence, her tone became really stern, which was something Dumbledore had never seen before.

In other words, since her magic power went out of control, she has never looked innocent, lively, and vivid again…

When he thought of this, Dumbledore’s sadness was like a wave, welling up in his heart and reaching his brain.

“You’re right, it’s my fault. I didn’t protect you and take good care of you…”

“?”

Looking at Dumbledore who was in a state of self-blame, Ariana blinked blankly. Where did she say anything about blaming her brother?

“No one in this world cares about me more than you, and you did nothing wrong!”

“Where’s Aberforth?”

“Well……”

Looking at her brother who seemed jealous, Ariana choked for a moment, but then her hesitation disappeared.

“You are the people who care about me the most in the world, and I couldn’t be more certain of that.”

“But it was because I brought Grindelwald home that there was a dispute…”

“No buts.”

Even with her firm tone, there was still a trace of sadness in Ariana’s eyes.

“We all know that from the moment my magic power went out of control and I became the Obscurial, the countdown to death was already ticking.”

“If it wasn’t that day, it would be the next foreseeable time. If it wasn’t you, it would be the Obscurus in my body…”

Resentment?

Of course she had complaints. She just wanted to show her magical abilities to her Muggle friends, but what she got was incomprehensible bullying.

But is it over?

Of course it is in the past…

It’s normal to experience an outburst of fear when you see something that is difficult to understand, or even beyond common sense.

She couldn’t punish others because she did something she shouldn’t have done, not to mention that her father had already been punished for being impulsive.

This kind of serial hatred is what she least wants to see.

As if sensing Ariana’s relief, Dumbledore’s mood gradually stabilized.

“The past is the past after all. Brother, would you mind chatting with Ariana about the future? I’m looking forward to knowing how you are doing!”

Ariana said excitedly, then trotted to sit on the chair opposite Dumbledore, resting her chin on the desk with her hand, looking cute as if she was ready to listen to a story.

Dumbledore chuckled.

Ariana had never shown such movements and expressions to Aberforth, which gave him a strange feeling of winning back a victory.

“I may disappoint you. My life is far from exciting…”

“How is that possible!” Ariana pouted displeasedly.

“But the genius in the wizarding world must have experienced a lot in these years. At least, the story with Grindelwald will definitely be exciting!”

Finally, she raised her eyebrows teasingly.

Seeing his sister’s expectant look, Dumbledore smiled helplessly.

I don’t know if I don’t want to disappoint her, or if I simply want to find someone to talk to, just like the sunshine, after passing Ariana away,

Every bit of what happened was slowly told.

Ariana also acted as a very qualified listener, exclaiming from time to time and giving her own comments of blame or joy.

Sometimes Dumbledore felt like he couldn’t continue talking, so Ariana would quickly ask questions about topics that interested her.

“You really didn’t care that you got into trouble with Grindelwald… okay,” Ariana stuck out her tongue when her brother rarely showed a harsh side to her, “I just feel a little pity.”

“Grindelwald’s concept of the world is generally wrong. It is my responsibility to protect…” Dumbledore paused, “To protect children like you, and more innocent people…”

“Even though, I always can’t do it well…”

“You’ve done a great job!” Ariana said encouragingly.

“As long as she stays with her brother, Ariana can always feel a sense of security, because I know that the most powerful wizard in the world is by my side!”

“But, I’m still a little dissatisfied, very dissatisfied!” She put her hands on her hips in anger.

“After listening to your long story, what I saw was a self-proclaimed number one wizard!”

“Where were your original ambitions? You obviously have so many great ideals, but I don’t see any aggressiveness in you now!”

“What I want to see and make me feel safe is a proud and confident Albus Dumbledore, not a brother who deeply blames himself and gives up on himself because of unwarranted mistakes!”

Hearing his sister’s reproach, Dumbledore opened his lips that were dry from talking for a long time in panic.

“I…I just…just want…”

I just want to save you…

As if she felt Dumbledore’s heart, Ariana had a relieved but sad smile on her face.

“You are the best brother in the world, and Ariana is reluctant to say goodbye to you, but, brother…”

Ariana held Dumbledore’s tearful face, her eyes were smiling, and she said in a coquettish tone: “Actually, the world needs you far more than Ariana, so I can only let such a good brother go. .”

“Ariana hopes that when we meet next time, she will see a brother with a smile on his face. He is proud to tell Ariana -”

“This world has become a better place because of my brother’s existence…”

“yes……”

With Ariana disappearing, there was only a sobbing Dumbledore in the principal’s office.
