"This is the first time I have seen my master so angry. Many people died that day."

"Thanks to my fast running, all the slow runners died that day, and that goblin was the first to die."

"What happened? Why is the master so angry?"

"I'm not sure. It seems that Potter and the others broke into Gringotts and stole something important to the owner."

"Fortunately, I wasn't there that day. I didn't want to see the owner angry."

"Okay, stop talking about this and come have a drink."

……

They talked together for a while, then started drinking and complaining about other things.

Seeing that there was no other useful news, Esther tiptoed back to the room, her mood becoming serious.

It seems that Harry and the others have won the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, so they are closer to the Battle of Hogwarts.

What is she going to do?

Esther tossed and turned that night, and the next morning, she went to find Aberforth with a pair of panda eyes.

"I want to enter Hogwarts. You contact Neville to open the secret passage from the Room of Requirement. I will go in today."

Aberforth didn't even raise his eyes and said immediately: "No, I can't do it."

Yesterday, he lost a lot of money to those Death Eaters for free. He was stopped by Esther again this morning. Aberforth, who was in a bad mood, decided to make the other party feel bad as well.

"Okay, then I'll go find Dumbledore."

Esther also figured out his temper during this period. This little old man had a tough mouth and a tough heart. He was really hard to talk to and had a very stubborn temper. She simply refused to argue with him and went directly to find Dumbledore. More convenient.

Aberforth gave a loud "hum" and said, "Why bother me if you know you can solve it by asking him?"

It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Esther for blocking him early in the morning.

"Everyone likes to disturb people's leisure early in the morning. Do you think everyone is like a certain person and wakes up so early?"

His voice was slightly louder, and Ariana on the wall gave him a disapproving look. She was reserved but kind-hearted. Esther would chat with her from time to time. In just a few days, they got along well. So Ariana didn't want Aberforth to say this about Esther.

What's more, the "someone" he mentioned was her dear eldest brother.

Aberforth noticed Ariana's expression and closed his mouth, but his expression was still not good.

"You've only known her for a few days and you're so partial to her?"

He muttered dissatisfiedly and then returned to the bar to clean up.

Esther knocked on Dumbledore's door again. At this time, he was already awake.

After stating his request to enter Hogwarts, Dumbledore agreed without thinking: "I will ask Ariana to inform Neville. You may need to wait a moment."

For Esther, he had an inexplicable trust, not only because of her hidden identity, but more importantly because of her composure beyond her age, which made people believe in her inexplicably.

Esther thanked her, and before leaving, she hesitated and said: "If... you are willing, you can go find an old friend. The mysterious person should be asking about the secret of the Elder Wand. In the past few days, , he...may die in the hands of a mysterious man."

She spoke cryptically, but she believed Dumbledore must know who she was talking about.

The reason why she was so hesitant was because she was not sure about Dumbledore's attitude towards Grindelwald at this time. This is not a fanfic. Judging from Dumbledore's usual attitude, he should be very concerned about the death of his sister Ariana. After he faked his death and escaped, he chose to accompany him. Being with his younger siblings instead of looking for Grindelwald shows that for Dumbledore at this age, his family is far more important than the obsession he had when he was young.

Dumbledore was obviously startled when he heard Esther's words, and then nodded slowly, his tone the same as usual: "I understand."

Esther couldn't understand his expression. Although she was curious about the story between him and Grindelwald, she didn't want to delve into it. After all, the most important thing in front of her was the Battle of Hogwarts.

She walked out of the room and returned to the living room to wait.

Aberforth was unforgiving, but he knew in his heart that his brother would definitely agree to Esther's request, so he should have opened the door for business at this time, but he did not open the door.

"Hmph, you have delayed a lot of my business hours, and you have to pay for it."

Aberforth said to Esther.

He said this because he was sure that Esther was rich and didn't care about it at all.

Sure enough, when Esther heard what he said, she nodded nonchalantly: "Whatever, there should be some money left that I gave you some time ago. I've given it to you and you don't have to look for it. It's just that I hid it in the Room of Requirement. If there is anything, You have to help me if necessary."

"Help is available, but you have to pay."

Aberforth refused to give an inch.

Esther couldn't help but complain silently in her heart: No, what's the use of liking money so much? If you are old and don’t have a partner or any offspring, who will you leave so much money to in the end? Can’t leave it to those goats in the backyard?

Of course, she could only complain about this in her heart. If she really said it, Aberforth would definitely fall out with her.

This little old man is quite young and has quite a temper.

"The money I gave you is definitely enough. I am rich, but I am not taken advantage of, and I am not a little fairy who can't eat the fireworks of the world. I can ignore it if you take advantage of me, but don't be too pushy, otherwise I will But I’m looking for your dear brother.”

Esther decided not to coddle him anymore.

Aberforth's expression twisted, as if he was disgusted by the words "dear brother", and he muttered a few words in a low voice. Esther did not understand what he muttered, and she had no time to care whether he scolded her again, because Ariana had returned and nodded at them.

Esther knew that this meant that Neville and the others had received the news from this side. All she needed to do now was wait for the secret passage to open.

Esther was excited and had some unspeakable emotions at the thought of being reunited with her classmates after a long absence.

No wonder people say that the feeling of being close to home is stronger. She was about to return to Hogwarts, and she suddenly became nervous.

She was not kept waiting for long. About half an hour later, the secret passage was slowly opened, and then Neville appeared in front of her.

"Ais!"

Neville was also very excited to see Esther. He couldn't help but give her a hug: "It's great that you didn't die!"

Esther:? ? ?

No, who is spreading the news about her death?

"What do you mean I'm not dead? Don't you all think something bad happened to me?"

Esther patted Neville on the shoulder and asked in a brisk tone.

Only then did Neville realize that he was too excited. He let go of Esther and replied sheepishly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to curse you. It's just that we can't control the news from the outside world in time at school. Between you and Lu Not long after Na disappeared, I don’t know where the news came from, saying that you were brought to Voldemort, and then...it seems to be a rumor now."

Esther "tsk", this is not a complete rumor, it can only be said that it is getting more and more outrageous.

"Then if I suddenly resurrect and appear in front of everyone, will it scare them?"

Esther said with a smile, her expression full of anticipation.
