"This memory is very different."

Dumbledore said, his brows furrowed as if he was thinking about something.

Of course it is different, Hector thought to himself. The dream fragments provided in the previous few times were basically what really appeared in Hector's dreams, and the memory in the Pensieve now was just Hector's own combination based on the original book and the movie clips. The difference between the two in details is not a little bit, it is no wonder that Dumbledore, who is used to fine products, feels unusually uncomfortable with this shoddy fake product.

"The fragments are too fragmented, and a lot of important information is missing - but it is still very warning. Such a terrible creature still lives in Hogwarts, and it must be dealt with as quickly as possible."Wasn't

Quirrell a dangerous creature last semester? Is Voldemort not impressive enough? Hector secretly complained to himself, but his face still had an expression that Grandpa Albus was right.

Dumbledore didn't care about the change in Hector's expression. He waved his hand, and suddenly a ball of sparks appeared in the air - it was Fawkes, she looked much older, and her figure was not as light as usual, but Fawkes still landed on Dumbledore's shoulder very quickly.

"Fawkes, please go find Minerva and Severus. I'm sorry to disturb their holiday. I hope to see them as soon as possible - tonight is a good night.

Fawkes nodded, she left Dumbledore's shoulder and quickly disappeared into the air.

"Grandpa Albus, Fawkes?"

"It's just as you think, Hector. Fawkes's spirit is getting worse day by day - but she doesn't need to worry, Fawkes will be fine. This is the case with magical creatures like phoenixes. Their lives end in ashes, and they are reborn from ashes."

Dumbledore looked at Fawkes' disappearing figure with some emotion, and he continued,

"This is also the fate of mankind. Death is just another form of rebirth."

After saying this, Dumbledore smiled and shook his head.

"You are still a child, you will understand this truth one day. Let's not talk about this anymore - by the way, how is Aurora doing recently?"

Hector was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand the purpose of Dumbledore's question. Did Dumbledore discover something? Hector was very confused, but he still answered calmly,

"Aurora is fine, not like Fawkes. She has been delivering a lot of letters for me recently. Harry, Hermione and the others are having a bad time with me recently."

"The phoenix is a noble creature, Hector. Aurora can't always be used as a messenger. This is not her job. If you need an owl, you can tell me."

""I need an owl,"

Hector quickly took up the conversation before Dumbledore finished speaking.

He cleverly turned the question about Aurora into asking Dumbledore to agree to buy an owl for Hector.

Hector did have one owl before, but that owl was basically used by Aberforth.

Aberforth said it was a takeaway, but Hector saw several times that Aberforth tied letters to the owl's legs instead of lunch boxes, and the envelopes tied from time to time were pink.

Hector was very curious about this, but he didn't even have the courage to ask questions.

Borrowing The other brothers who use owls are Fred and George. The reason they use owls is to facilitate off-campus customers and to maintain product confidentiality, since the shipping address is the Hog's Head Inn. This shows that the Weasley twins' magic joke products are endorsed by Aberforth Dumbledore. It has to be admitted that the name Aberforth is more convincing than the name of Hogwarts students.

So apart from seeing his owl when he receives a greeting letter from Aberforth every two weeks, Hector rarely sees it. So much so that when Aurora is not around, Hector even has to ask Harry to borrow Hedwig to send a letter.

"It would be even better if it was a snowy owl."

Harry's Hedwig is a snowy owl, and an owl like Hedwig, who is white all over and exudes an elegant temperament, is in line with Hector's aesthetic point - Hector certainly didn't say Aurora was bad, it was a phoenix! He just liked the snowy owl more among many types of owls.

This idea became more firm after he got along with the Weasley family's Great Grey Owl and his own eagle owl, whose name he didn't know until now, but he heard Aberforth mention the species, and whose temper was always bad. If possible, a snowy owl would be the best.

"I remember Aberforth bought you one, Hector."

"I am currently using the owl."

Aberforth, who was eager to witness Hector's prophetic power, had just returned to reality from the scene in the Pensieve and happened to hear what Dumbledore and Hector were saying about the owl. He interrupted Albus Dumbledore very directly.

"And that one is an eagle owl, which is not suitable to be brought to school. You are right, Hector can't always let the phoenix deliver letters, he really needs his own owl."

Aberforth looked at his brother, and his brother scratched his head with embarrassment.

"So, like you said, Héctor's owl is now in your hands?"

"You know, Aberforth, I've never been very well off - it's not easy keeping the Order of the Phoenix going, and there are expenses for going out."

"So what?"

Aberforth always had the upper hand in the conversation with Dumbledore. This simple question made all of Dumbledore's previous explanations go to waste. Aberforth had no intention of letting Dumbledore go. He continued to ask,

"I remember that the little Potter seemed to have a brand new Nimbus 2000, and I remember Hector said that the broom seemed to be a gift, and he didn't even charge a penny - this is a lot of money, Albus, will you really let Minerva pay for it all?"

"That's different"

"How is it different, Albus? That's 1,500 Galleons! How much is a good snowy owl worth?

Dumbledore just opened his mouth, but nothing came out. All he could do was compromise.

"Well, Aberforth, you make sense, a snowy owl, right? No problem.

Dumbledore's voice was not loud, like he was mumbling. At this moment, hurried footsteps came from the spiral staircase of the headmaster's office. It was Professor McGonagall, who lived in Hogwarts Castle.

"Albus, Severus will be here soon, something very importantOh, hello, Aberforth, and of course you, long time no see, Hector"

"Long time no see, Professor McGonagall.

Dumbledore stood up quickly and walked towards Professor McGonagall. He pulled Professor McGonagall aside. Seeing this, Aberforth also stood up from his chair and said to Hector,

"Come with me, Hector."

Hector nodded and followed Aberforth to a corner of the office. Aberforth looked in the direction of Dumbledore and whispered to Hector,

"Although I just said that, don't blame Albus for this. He is indeed not as rich as you think - most of Albus's money is used to help those Muggle wizards with ordinary family conditions. He also has to spend some on the pensions for the fallen in the Order of the Phoenix."

Hector nodded, he understood the origin of the Nimbus 2000.

"Many people died in the Order of the Phoenix when fighting Voldemort, such as the Potters and the Longbottoms. Many wives lost their husbands and many children lost their mothers. Albus couldn't give them a complete family, he could only do what he could - I have to say, Albus did a pretty good job in this regard."Aberforth patted Hector on the shoulder, his eyes fixed on the backs of Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall.

"So please don't blame him, Albus has tried his best to be a better grandfather."

"I know, Grandpa."

"That's good,"

Aberforth took a deep breath, and looked at Dumbledore with a complaint in his tone.

"To be precise, Albus is not poor. After all, he is an alchemist like Nicolas Flamel. It's just that, like him, Albus spends his money on other things."

Albus paused for a moment, then turned to look at Hector with a smile,

"If you really need it, I can buy you a snowy owl—your grandfather has some spare money."
