Hogwarts, was gnawed at the beginning

"Avada Kedavra?" Aberforth was really confused, but soon he realized, "I know where that place is."

Aberforth lowered his eyes dejectedly and smiled bitterly.

"About that place, it should be said that the world behind the curtain is the border between life and death."

"After crossing there, it is the world of the dead."

"No!" Aberforth raised his eyes and looked Sur up and down several times. "A normal wizard has almost no physical symptoms or accidents after enduring Avada's Kedavra Curse! As far as I know, there is only one person who Successfully survived Avada's Kedavra."

"I am also very confused about this, sir." Suer shook his head, "I should have died, but I came back to life."

"However, these are not important."

"The important thing is that I can let you see Arianna, but I need some time."

"What? Wait until you learn the Unforgivable Curse and then hit me with it?" Aberforth suddenly laughed.

"Don't be ridiculous, little wizard. According to what you said, that place can only be reached when you are dying. The Realm of Dying, this is its correct name."

"I'm not joking, sir." Soul pulled out his wand, tilted the tip of the wand to the right side of the wine cabinet, and recited the incantation, "Call the gods to protect you."

Not long after, a small bright white badger jumped out from the tip of Sur's staff. After circling a few times, he landed lightly on the bar and looked at Aberforth with his bright eyes without blinking.

"Patron Saint?" A question mark appeared on Aberforth's head, and he carefully observed the Patron Saint summoned by Sur.

"I admit that at your age, it is indeed very rare to be able to use a Patronus. You have outstanding talent. In particular, this Patronus has obviously reached the highest level of the Patronus Spell - the category of a physical Patronus. "

"But what does this have to do with what we are discussing? You don't mean to say that Ariana has become a patron saint, right? This is impossible, hahahaha... If this is the case, the wizarding world should be in chaos. ..”

Aberforth smiled, and his expression suddenly stiffened. He saw the half-smiling look on Soul's face. An absurd idea that went against the magic theory he had studied since childhood suddenly emerged from his mind. came out.

What if this is true?

"Should...should..." he suddenly asked stammering,

"It's just as you said." Suer said softly, "Arianna, she has indeed become my patron saint in a magical way."

"This badger?" Aberforth swallowed, "Are you kidding me? Ariana is a human being! Her soul is human!"

"Moreover, our Dumbledore family has been staunchly Gryffindor since a long time ago. If it is a lion, it is somewhat credible."

"If Arianna becomes a patron saint, if not a human body, then it must be a phoenix! There is an inevitable connection between the patron saint and the soul of a wizard. Although we don't know what this connection is, this point depends on us. The family’s collection of books contains facts that have been established.”

"I didn't say that Ariana was a badger, sir." Soul shook his head.

"In fact, Arianna has indeed become my patron saint as you said. This is why I said that it will take some time because I cannot embody Arianna into reality."

"No, it should be said that if I try to manifest Arianna into reality now, the only thing waiting for me is death."

"This..." Aberforth suddenly fell into silence, his eyes flashing wildly.

After a while, he said with a dry throat, "The Patron Saint, according to my family's records, was created because an ancient wizard lost his beloved, in order to trace his lover's traces or see his lover again. The magic is created from the side of..."

"That being said, it's very possible."

"But if Arianna is still alive and she is old enough to be your grandmother, you should know the consequences of playing an adult wizard, right? The little wizard..."

Aberforth said, his eyes narrowed.

Two flames suddenly lit up in the moving eyes of the guardian spirit on the bar. It jumped up slightly and kicked Aberforth behind the bar hard.

Aberforth was caught off guard and was kicked back a few steps. His strong body hit the wine rack. A bottle with only one-third left fell down and broke into pieces with a clang.

The strong aroma of wine immediately filled the air.

Obviously, what the little badger did just now was under Arianna's control, and this was not Sur's original intention.

Soul looked at the angry little badger on the bar and laughed. There was a very direct solution to the problem Aberforth mentioned.

"During your first year at Hogwarts, sir, you used magic to turn a bamboo stick into a bouquet of lilies and gave it to Ariana."

Aberforth's back was pressed against the wine rack. Before he could get angry, he was stunned by Soul's words.

The past incident that Su Er mentioned was a little secret between him and Arianna. Only he and Arianna knew about it, and he had never told this small story about the past.

He made sure that his memories had not been read by anyone.

But now that the little wizard in front of him has said this, it means that what this little wizard said is 90.00%, no, [-]% true.

Although it was beyond his imagination, as magic has developed so far, what it has revealed to wizards has never been more than the tip of the iceberg.

Aberforth suddenly stood up, lay down on the bar, looked at the Patronus who puffed up his cheeks slightly, and his voice trembled...

"Really...is it really you?"

"Ariana?"

"It's me, silly brother." A soft female voice sounded in Sur's mind, and the patron saint nodded gently in Aberforth's eyes.

In Sur's eyes, Aberforth's beard trembled, his clear blue eyes became misty, and soon, tears flashed in the corners of his eyes.

"sorry..."

"I'm sorry..." Aberforth's voice trembled and he said it several times, "If someday, if I didn't..."

On how it feels for the person involved to watch a man who is old enough to be his grandfather crying in front of him and holding his patronus.

Su Er felt extremely sad.

After a while, Aberforth stopped trembling when the little badger raised his hand to touch his head. He felt the cold paws stroking the top of his head. This familiar feeling made him almost fall again. Cry.

What a familiar action. Once, Aberforth was sad because of Arianna's situation. When he blamed himself, Arianna always comforted himself like this...

"I made you laugh." Aberforth finally raised his hand to wipe away his tears and carefully held the Patronus in his hand like a treasure.

"What should I do to make Arianna appear in front of me again..."

"No matter what the cost!"

Anyone could hear the firmness in Aberforth's words, but Soul shook his head.

"I don't know, sir, maybe my magic power is not enough, or maybe I don't understand the magic of the Patronus Charm enough."

"It will take some time."
