I was expelled from Hogwarts?

After the whole picture disappeared, Dumbledore took Rove's arm and pulled it lightly, and the two returned to the principal's office.

Dumbledore sat down behind the table again, and the old man said hoarsely, Rove, do you understand?

The silent one. Rove said softly.

That's right! Dumbledore looked at the boy appreciatively, a little surprised at his erudition.

There hasn't been an obscurity in the magic world for many years, and he still knows the word.

My sister Ariana is indeed the Obscure. Dumbledore nodded and said:

After she was attacked by those boys, fear was like a seed that took root in her heart, and she began to reject magic, unwilling to use magic anymore.

But the more this happens, the more frequent the magic riots will be.

Moreover, the old man said with a serious tone, every time Arianna's magic riots, people around her will be injured... My mother, younger brother, including me have all been injured.

Ariana was a kind child. When she woke up, the memory was still lingering in her mind. She found that she hurt us and became more painful.

Because of the Secrecy Act, we have to restrict her freedom. Dumbledore sighed softly:

Otherwise, in her condition, once discovered by the Ministry of Magic, she will definitely be imprisoned in St. Mungo's Hospital for life.

These have deepened Ariana's unease, the seeds of fear began to take root in her, eroding her life...

Dumbledore's usually bright eyes dimmed.

I've always said that love is a powerful force for wizards, and it is not illusory... Similarly, the force of fear is extremely powerful.

It will hide in the wizard's heart, devour life, twist the mind, and finally give birth to another life form in the wizard's body... silently!

Dumbledore whispered: That is a powerful force that is extremely unstable and difficult to control!

So, that person is making silence? Rove's eyebrows curled up.

My guess is so, but my guess is generally not far off. Dumbledore raised the bottle on the table, he shook the black mist inside and said:

Torture Mrs. Filch and Pince, use an ancient magic, channel fear, collect.

Apart from creating obscurity, I can't think of that person's other purpose.

Who do you think would do it? Rove asked, he really didn't know who the diary would be on now.

But Dumbledore is different. His eyeliner is all over Hogwarts. Those old portraits are all his little birds, and they will report immediately if there is any trouble... Maybe he knows?

Rove, it is a fatal mistake to make blind guesses without complete evidence, and it is easy to cause misjudgment.

Dumbledore's gaze stayed on the boy, and said, But one thing, the attackers will definitely not end here.

Rove raised his eyebrows.

Obscurity is generally conceived in the body of a wizard. This is an extremely long process. Dumbledore said calmly:

That person wants to create silence by himself, he needs to collect a lot of fear...it will definitely continue to attack.

After getting the answer he wanted, Rove quickly got up to leave and left the principal's office, leaving Dumbledore alone.

The old man leaned back on the chair. He picked up the tea and took a sip, then continued to pound the Pensieve with the tip of his stick.

I saw memories passing by like running water, and the pictures were slowly changing, and finally they were fixed on a simple funeral.

Young Dumbledore stood in front of the grave, looking at the headstone with the names of his mother and Ariana.

After burying his sister, Aberforth rushed over, punched Dumbledore on the bridge of the nose, and shouted:

It's all your fault! You killed Arianna!!

At the funeral, many wizards also attended, and they all showed confusion and horror.

Dumbledore's nose was broken, but he didn't fight back, just sat in front of the tombstone, staring blankly at the small words on the monument:

Where the treasure is, so is the heart.

In an instant, Dumbledore, who had just grown up, felt empty in his heart.

I couldn't help but burst into tears.

...

...

After leaving the principal's office, Rove returned to the Hufflepuff lounge alone.

He was the only one in the whole lounge. He sat on the sofa and meditated for a long time.

Tom is gathering the power of fear, preparing to create silence... This thing is really beyond the boy's expectations.

But it's also understandable. The secret room was burned and the basilisk disappeared. What do you think little Tom should do? He can't just sit around, he has to do something new.

It's just that I didn't expect this trick to be so big.

Silence is of course a very powerful force, since Tom is making it secretly... then Rove is welcome, and he must steal it away!

The next morning, Rove went to Snape's office first and gave him the basilisk venom in exchange for twenty points.

In order to save materials, Rove deliberately mixed half of the bottle of water, anyway, it was just snake venom...isn't the diluted venom considered venom?

Snape may make money, but Rove will never lose money!

When going to the auditorium for breakfast, Rove also met Shirley, who had returned to Hogwarts from Professor McGonagall's house.

Why are you alone? Rove walked towards the Ravenclaw table and asked curiously, Where's Hermione?

She just returned to the Gryffindor lounge. The girl with ponytails ate the pastry and said a little embarrassedly: I caused you trouble yesterday.

You're just drunk and pulling my sleeve, what kind of trouble is that? Rove said with a smile.

Hearing that the boy was helping her recall yesterday's embarrassing scene, Xue Li blushed a little, her hand holding the pastry was slightly stiff.

Of course, compared with Hermione crying and dancing, Shirley's drunkenness can only be regarded as insignificant, not worth mentioning at all.

Rolf was just waiting to see Hermione, laughing at her.

You can't find her. Shirley said with a smile:

Professor McGonagall helped her remember it last night. She said that this Christmas holiday, she was hiding in the dormitory and couldn't come out.

...

Xueli saw the young man wearing a scarf and dressed as if he was about to go out, so she asked softly, Rove, are you going out soon?

That's right, I'm going to the Borgin-Bock shop in Knockturn Alley. Rove lifted the suitcase in his hand.

Continue to investigate the portraits of house elves left by Hufflepuff.

Shirley and Hermione searched the old newspapers and determined that the items in Smith's old house had been packaged and sold to Borgin-Bock's. He had to go and have a look.

Xue Li stared at the boy's smiling face, she blinked her eyes, and said, I'm free, I have nothing to do, shall I go with you?

Rove thought for a while, and it wasn't that dangerous to go to the Forbidden Forest, so he nodded and said, Yes.

Then let's go now. Shirley stood up happily and said happily, How should we get to Knockturn Alley?

Take the...Knight Bus!
