HP in the name of Slytherin

There was light in Gellert's eyes when he looked at Albus. He saw Albus as a muse and an angel.

That's not the case with Albus.

Even though he realized that Gellert was not as perfect as he thought, when he heard him scolding Aberforth for being mediocre, all Albus thought was: everyone, calm down and talk.

He is also angry, but he knows that arguing and taking action cannot solve the problem.

But when he tried to stop him, Aberforth thought he was going towards Gellert, and Gellert thought he was going towards Aberforth.

When Albus was young, he was also a young lion with a youthful spirit. Of course, he was also angry when he was resentfully squeezed out by his lover and relatives.

The three of them got into a fight and unexpectedly disturbed Ariana who was resting upstairs.

Ariana started to fear outsiders and magic because she was bullied by a few damn Muggles when she was a child. Her father was imprisoned in Azkaban and died, which made her condition even worse.

She was mentally fragile and couldn't stand the stimulation, especially in this scene where magic was flying everywhere, so she immediately screamed.

A terrifying and surging force burst out from her body, attacking everyone present indiscriminately, except Ariana herself.

The Dumbledore brothers had always known that their sister was weak and might become a squib. At that time, there was little research on the Obscurus and the Obscurus, and their brothers never expected that such a rare thing would appear in Ariana.

Albus, who is knowledgeable, knows that none of them can control the Obscurus. If it escapes, it will not only cause disaster to others, but also Ariana will be forcibly taken away after the situation subsides." treat".

Ariana had to calm down.

"Stop it! Get out of the way!" Albus was already planning to forcefully suppress the two people.

But Aberforth and Gellert had already gotten angry, and they didn't know it was Obscurus. Aberforth even thought it was Gellert who wanted to attack Ariana.

No one knew whose magic hit Ariana.

Gellert couldn't remember clearly, but he remembered that he used... other dark magic besides the death curse.

In comparison, Aberforth, who has not yet graduated from Hogwarts, should not have mastered such powerful magic, right?

But Ariana's body is very weak, and a powerful Expelliarmus or a fainting weapon might kill her.

All we know is that after the chaotic and dazzling light of magic dissipated, Ariana stopped breathing. Gellert still had his own great ideal to realize, and he did not want to bear the resentment and blame of his lover, so he chose to... run away.

The Dumbledore brothers were left stunned in place.

The flame of the magic candle jumped, making a very realistic sound of tiny sparks popping.

This is unusual. If there is no magic shock, the light of the magic candle will not waver.

Whose magic power is shaken...

When Gellert said this belated apology, he did not have any scheming or tricks. He was truly repenting to his boy.

Albus is getting old, and he is not as innocent and cheerful as he was when he was young. The last time they met... it was when Newt, that bastard, went crazy and ruined his good deeds. Gellert discovered that Albus often made him incomprehensible. .

What he experienced and how he grew into the Professor Albus Dumbledore he was at that time, Gellert did not pursue.

To this day, he admits that it was because he was timid and selfish.

Albus gently closed the note in his hand, placed it on the table, and pushed it back between him and Gellert.

"Why do you want to accept Severus as your apprentice?" He seemed to be unable to find the words to bring up the old matter.

But Garrett knew that this answer was crucial.

He no longer joked or evaded the important points, and said seriously: "First of all, Severus is a genius."

His answer made Albus's breath hitch.

This answer is very Gellert. He has always been an extremely idealistic and perfectionist person. He does not rub sand in his eyes. In his eyes, talented people who are slightly inferior are just ants.

Mediocrity is Gellert's general term for the vast majority of people.

But the vast majority of people in the world can only become excellent despite their best efforts.

Don’t they deserve attention, respect, and protection?

If Albus could hide his emotions at first, the more he thought about it now, the more he recalled everything he had with Gellert before.

Apart from those who are happy, there is also extreme pain.

The two levels are so similar to Gellert himself that he only sees the best and the rest are trash.

Gellert knew this, but he still said: "I can use other reasons, but Al, you have to admit that some magic can be learned without hard work. It just requires talent to be able to touch it, right?"

Yes, Albus had to admit.

But this answer…

"You are always like this. Even if you are angry, you will still think rationally," Gellert continued. "He is a genius, and I am indeed old. Before I die, I also want to create the magic that I was once proud of." Passed down, this is the truth.”

Professor Dumbledore has been teaching and educating people for decades, and has countless students. His favorite students range from Newt to McGonagall to Catherine, who is now both a teacher and a friend.

What does Gellert have?

In the first half of his life, he was admired by all the stars, and now there are indeed some subordinates who are loyal to him, but those people... well, they are not that smart or outstanding.

As Gellert said, some magic is useless through diligence alone. It requires talent to understand.

And it happened that he discovered Severus at this time. He was smart, spiritual, and interesting. He was very much like him when he was young... except that he was not as handsome, not as humorous, and not as cheerful as him.

Most importantly, he turned out to be kind... and brave.

Gellert sighed and said completely calmly: "I don't know if you feel this way. When teaching students, you can correct the detours you have taken. It seems that you can see brand new things in them. possible."

That was not only a magical inheritance, but this young man who was similar to him but a little different would have his own life in the future, making his own choices with Gellert's shadow.

When his life becomes more perfect and smooth due to his influence, Gellert will feel that his own life is complete.

Albus chuckled, not audibly happy or angry, as if it was just to show that he was listening.

But Gellert has really told the truth, that is to say, he is indeed older now, his body has just recovered, his spirit is still exhausted, and he just happened to meet Severus, a good young man. Otherwise, he may not be so good. His temper...and courage to talk to Albus like this.

"When I teach, I feel like I am teaching the students magically," Albus said quietly, "but from the perspective of life, they are also teaching me."

Gellert's eyes slowly lit up, and he said tentatively: "I think Severus is pretty good, although in your classification Slytherin seems to be very cunning, scheming, etc., which are not good words. , Miss Slytherin is one of the representatives... Ahem, but that kid is pretty good, he has a different kind of integrity and bravery, I like him very much."

Albus said that he learned something from his students.

Gellert quickly followed up and praised Severus's merits and expressed his liking.

Tell him that he will learn these virtues from Severus as well.

The two of them always understood each other.

"The school has not found a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for next year. If you are interested..."

"No problem! No one is more suitable to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor than me. I hate those evil magics the most! I am incompatible with those evil magics!"
