I Was Spotted By Grindelwald and Went To Hogwarts

,!

Upon hearing Sean's words, Aberforth stood up immediately.

His eyes looked fierce due to the exertion, and his face had an expression of "Sure enough."

"Sean! You know what's right, don't you! I knew that my brother who wanted to take all the responsibility alone would leave some information..."

As he spoke, he wandered around again, his tone full of impatience and pain.

"He...he doesn't trust me enough! He is also too...too arrogant! In this regard, he is exactly the same as Grindelwald! He has not changed since his mother died, from when we were young, until he was lying there... .”

Sean was startled, but he didn't expect that the rift between the Dumbledore brothers had not eased to this day.

After thinking for a while, he said: "I do know some things, but I don't think the professor doesn't trust you enough, Aberforth."

Aberforth turned to look at him.

Sean continued: "Professor him... is more timid, because of Ariana's matter..."

"Do you know everything about Ariana?"

"I haven't heard it with my own ears, but the professor and Mr. Grindelwald have revealed something to me, so I can make a rough guess."

Aberforth sighed deeply, looking much older than before.

Sean continued: "That was the professor's nightmare. He always thought it was his own fault and kept trying to make up for it. He always felt that he had to do all this well before he could tell you everything. However, the professor is Man, not God, all he can do is try his best... Yes, I think it is not good for the professor to do this, as you said, he does not trust other people enough, but that is how he is, he is willing to do more - —And you are his family, and he cares more about your comments, thoughts, etc."

As he spoke, Sean also sighed: "Aberforth, you know, that's what he is like, but that's not distrust, it's fear..."

There was a long silence in the room.

After a while, Aberforth stood up and ruffled his hair angrily, muttering: "I was a bastard when I was young, and he has been a bastard all his life. It's almost the same..."

Orui curled his lips.

"Sean, let me take you to see Ariana. I hope you can help me find my real sister."

After hearing this, Sean immediately followed and asked doubtfully: "Really?"

Aberforth said categorically: "Only part of that belongs to my sister! Ariana will never be what she is now!"

After coming out of the Pig's Head Tavern, several people walked towards the outside of Hogsmeade.

Aberforth said as he walked: "My brother told me a few days before he died that he wanted to get Ariana back. I scoffed at the time - you know, right? Our sister is essentially fused with Fox's soul. Together, it is almost impossible to break away. Even after separation, my sister lacks a new body... Her original body was preserved by me, in the basement of the Pig's Head Tavern, but decades have passed... I thought my brother was just like he had been for the past few decades, always saying it but never being able to do it."

"But he died..." Aberforth showed a painful expression, "When he died, you had not returned to Hogwarts, but I sensed that the magic in the basement I left behind was touched. "

Hearing what Aberforth said, Sean vaguely remembered that Aberforth was indeed not present when he came back carrying Dumbledore's body.

"I hurried back and found that my sister's body was missing... Then I received your message. At that time, I was thinking, could it be that Albus used his own death in exchange for Ariana... I don't understand this Everything, but all I can do is keep looking for Ariana."

"Then, I found her by the Black Lake..."

Black lake? Sean frowned, suddenly thinking of something in the Black Lake.

As they spoke, several people had already reached the outer perimeter, but Aberforth did not signal Sean to apparate. Instead, he checked carefully and then walked into the bushes with no road next to them.

"This is not a secret passage. It is a small path. You can go around in a circle and enter the Forbidden Forest." Aurelius explained.

Following the foothills outside Hogwarts, passing through paths filled with thorns and shrubs, the tall dense forest belonging to the Forbidden Forest has appeared in front of us.

This is not the edge of the Forbidden Forest on the side of Hagrid's hut, but the opposite side.

Entering the Forbidden Forest, Aberforth blew a strange whistle, and after a while, a centaur ran out of it.

He has red hair and a beard, a shiny brown body below the waist, and a long red tail.

"Aberforth, you came back very quickly." The centaur's voice was slow and a little sad.

"Ronan, I brought someone to meet her - how is she?"

The centaur named Ronan shook his head: "The situation is still unstable. We have been treating her, but she still tries to attack us. If Dumbledore hadn't helped us many times, such an angry little pony would have been severely beaten. Teach him a lesson."

"Excuse me, by the way, this is Sean." Aberforth introduced.

Ronan looked over and his sad eyes suddenly lit up. Then he came over with small steps and bowed to Sean: "You have the stars that centaurs love most in your eyes. Welcome, friend."

Aberforth was stunned for a moment. He had never seen a centaur be so friendly to a wizard. No, even a little flattering - his brother had never enjoyed this kind of treatment during his lifetime.

Sean was used to it, and he shook hands with the other person from the past: "Thank you, friend - your mane is very beautiful, you must be soaked in the lake water often."

Aberforth suddenly became anxious. He knew that the centaurs did not like such greetings and might attack...

"Of course, you are very knowledgeable, my friend." Ronan's sad tone rose slightly, looking a little happy.

Sean also smiled. The centaurs are as intelligent as humans, but they don't want to be treated as humans, but as a brand new species, a beast that will never be enslaved. Therefore, praise them in a natural way. The animal side of the opponent will make the horse people feel happy.

Under Aberforth's incredulous gaze, Ronan led several people towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Soon, they came to a denser and denser forest, and a piece of grass appeared in front of them.

Many centaurs appeared from behind the trees, and they all showed friendly eyes after seeing Sean.

Ronan continued to lead the way, and they walked inside along the grass, and then entered a particularly huge cave.

The cave is dotted with various luminous plants. Although it is dim, it is not dim.

Coming to the innermost side, an open field appeared. There was a huge beast skull there, enough to accommodate one person. Two centaurs stood on one side and muttered words, with a faint light emitting from their hands.

The glimmer of light fell into the skull, but the response inside was a roar containing murderous intent.

A girl who looked younger than Sean was trapped in the skull, but her gentle features were full of violence at the moment, constantly hitting the skull.

"Ariana..." Aberforth couldn't help but shout softly.

Ariana turned her head and seemed to have regained some clarity: "Aberforth...Aberforth!"

She was only awake for a moment, and her magic power was activated. She wanted to attack Aberforth, but was stopped by the silver light flashing on his skull.

"She is like this now...without reason, only murderous and hateful...like a beast..." Aberforth said painfully.

This was not a soul separated from Fox... Sean judged immediately.

He moved closer and Ariana immediately roared and tried to attack Sean.

"This is not the separated one in Fox's soul..." Sean said with certainty, "There are things in her soul that I am familiar with. They are all negative emotions and very unstable."

Aberforth was shocked: "How is it possible? How could it be that it's not Ariana's soul and it can occupy Ariana's body?"

Apparently, Aberforth didn't know that Ariana's soul was fused with the body and soul of another naturally born alchemist... The one in front of him should have just been separated... But, how was this done...

Suddenly, a ring on Ariana's hand caught Sean's attention. It was a very ordinary silver ring. It didn't look like anything out of the ordinary, but it had a floral letter engraved on it. p".

Weird, this ring looks familiar... I seem to have seen this in someone's hand...

After thinking for a long time and not getting an answer, Sean could only look at the others.

"Aberforth, is that ring still on Ariana's body?"

Aberforth glanced at it after hearing this and said in surprise: "No, this is not Ariana's property. I am also very sure that when her body was placed in the basement, she did not have this ring on her body."

"That's what I got later..." Sean thought for a moment, "What was the specific situation when you found her by the Black Lake?"

"She was all wet, as if she had just come out of the black lake. When I followed the magic trail, she was already going crazy... However, when you asked me, I remembered what was wrong. , Although Ariana is manic, she seems to have a goal... When I was knocked down once, she tried to rush towards the castle."

castle? Is there something Ariana wants? Maybe that's the key...

But, how to solve Ariana's current state... It is possible that part of her soul was corroded by Haierbo, and the violent soul naturally born from the alchemy body has been fused together for many years, inevitably accumulating negative emotions, which is a bit Similar to the situation of blood-cursed orcs...

While he was thinking about it, Sean suddenly discovered that although Ariana had been trying to attack violently, it seemed that there was only one person she was targeting.

Sean.

After questioning, Aberforth told Sean that Ariana had never been in this situation before and that she wanted to attack everyone here indiscriminately.

Um? Why does Ariana have so much ill will toward me? If it is caused by negative emotions, then she should treat everyone like this... Is there something special about me that attracts her?

The special thing...that is [arrogance]...

Sean frowned.

Sean stood up after thinking of something. He said to Aberforth, who was in pain and full of expectations: "I have some direction, give me some time."

"Can Ariana be saved?"

Sean shook his head: "Her soul is currently incomplete. Even if her malice is eliminated, she is still not the complete Ariana - there is still a part of her soul that needs to be completely integrated with her."

"That……"

"Then it depends on the professor..." Sean said softly.

"Albus?!" Aberforth's eyes widened.

"If possible, I might be able to bring back your sister and brother. No, I should say, provide some help to your brother, and he will bring back Ariana himself."

Aberforth and Aurelius' breathing became rapid.

Sean turned and walked towards the cave entrance: "I want to go to the Black Lake to see it."

He has never forgotten that there is a strange area at the bottom of the Black Lake, and there seems to be a terrifying creature dormant in it, and that creature also showed some weird malice towards Sean at the beginning.

In addition, the monster has a female face, but has a body like a mythical creature, much like the product of alchemy or failed transformation.

Originally, Sean was planning to explore again when he had the opportunity in the future, but now, Ariana seems to have appeared from the black lake, and the monsters there have suddenly become mysterious.

Well worth exploring.

Sean didn't hesitate too much. He left the Forbidden Forest and came to the lake. He checked what he had brought. He took the underwater breathing potion and added waterproofing, thermal insulation and night vision spells to himself. After that, he dived directly into the Black Lake.

When he entered the dark lake, his ring opened a hole. In an instant, two extremely large and terrifying black shadows and a smaller black shadow also dived into the lake.

The Basilisk and two Thelma Lake Monsters, these three magical animals were guarding Sean. The smaller Thelma Lake Monster walked through the water plants, constantly provoking Grindelwald who was escaping back and forth.

Sean found a certain direction and swam. He remembered that it was the territory of the fishmen, and he was going to ask about the situation first.

When he got there, Sean was surprised to find that there was not a single fishman here. In fact, the things that fishmen liked were quietly entangled in the water plants and floating along the water waves.

Sean frowned. It looked like the fish people had made an emergency migration and suddenly disappeared...

He followed the nearby traces and searched around. He didn't find any living fish-men, but he found a lot of skeletons. Judging from their shapes, they seemed to belong to fish-men.

Something is attacking here...

Sean immediately thought of the terrifying monster, and the time coincided with Ariana's appearance.

It must be related...

Thinking of this, Sean swam in the direction of his memory.

Nothing could be seen in the dark lake water, but Sean, who had taken the potion and cast the spell, could clearly see everything around him.

Except for the occasional panicked fish swimming by, Sean found that the closer he went to the location in his memory, the fewer and fewer magical animals there were.

"Be careful..." Sean had just finished ordering his three magical animals when a strange fire suddenly lit up at the bottom of the lake in the distance!
