HP in the name of Slytherin

It is no exaggeration to say that at that moment, Catherine's whole body tensed up when she saw Albus like a student being called upon.

He pursed his lips and said dryly: "Yes, Ariana."

His eyes were red just now, but now his voice seemed to have completely calmed down, and even the greeting seemed unfamiliar and awkward.

But Ariana seemed to be used to Albus like this. She stood closely with Aberforth, but fortunately, she did not ignore Albus and said in her sweet girlish voice: "Me too. I’m always by Al’s side, but it’s a pity that you can’t see or hear me.”

Albus took a deep breath suddenly, as if he had been hit hard suddenly, and his whole body stooped, "I'm sorry! Ariana! I'm really sorry!"

He lowered his head and supported the table, not daring to raise his eyes or move. Finally, his emotions could no longer be restrained. Catherine saw drops of water staining the book.

Aberforth pursed his lips tightly, clenched his hands into fists, looked at Albus with complicated eyes, and also looked at the black shadow that moved to Albus' side.

"It's okay, Al." Ariana came to Albus as if she wanted to hug him, but unfortunately she was too delicate from height to body shape.

Albus couldn't even tell where the black shadow was Ariana's hand and where it was her arm.

"I'm really sorry... really..." He shook his head desperately, and finally dared to look squarely at Ariana's dark shadow. However, it was still the same as before, and he didn't know where Ariana's head, face, eyes, and lips were.

Aberforth was right, he was an incompetent brother, he was not worthy of Ariana's liking at all, and he did not take good care of Ariana at all at that time.

He broke down and said: "The person I would rather die is me."

"But I hope you all live well," Ariana's shadow suddenly separated a little, covering Albus's pale hands, "I have always been in a haze, and it wasn't until you said 'death' that I regained consciousness."

"That's because you... were injured at the time," Albus said. "If I can take you to see a doctor in the Muggle community, or find a doctor to see you, you can recover."

Ariana is not a madman, she is just because of what happened to her when she was a child, her father was imprisoned because of her, and her mother was accidentally killed by her. The accumulation of such things led to serious psychological problems, which is what Muggles call mental illness.

But at that time, Albus was too young, too proud and too arrogant... too selfish. He did not think carefully about Ariana's problem and how to cure her.

He dared to swear to Merlin that when he was getting involved with Grindelwald, he did consider Ariana and hoped that she could live an upright life in this world, but... but he didn't consider at all what Ariana needed most at the time. .

She needs love, tolerance and companionship.

But at that time, Albus stubbornly believed that what he gave her was what she needed.

"Really sorry……"

Ariana gently approached Albus and said seriously and gently: "It's okay, Al, I'm not angry with you, and I won't be angry with you."

Halbo couldn't help crying while eating, and Aberforth's eyes were red again.

Their bodies all looked old, but a certain part of their souls was trapped in their youth, trapped...or rather, strangled at that time, only to be resurrected now.

Catherine gave them all handkerchiefs and reminded: "Don't get too emotional. We have to find a way to prevent Ariana from continuing to be weak."

Theoretically, if the wizard is left as a soul, its soul should be immortal - at least for a thousand years, and should not be so weak.

Ariana's mental illness was cured because of her soul state, but it made no sense that she was even weaker.

Catherine saw that Brother Albus's mood had become more stable, and then she expressed her guess: "I have heard about Arianna's situation in my world. She died in the state of the Obscurus. This world should also be the same." Same?"

The two brothers nodded sadly, and Albus asked: "Is there any more research on the Obscurial in your world?"

"That's what I want to say. The Obscurial Ones have also appeared in our world, and there were related studies in ancient times. However, those studies have been lost now."

Thousands of years before Catherine lived, the war between wizards and the Holy See was even more cruel. Under such circumstances, some wizards became Obscurials. At that time, there was no saying that Obscurials would not survive until the age of 10. They were all too strong. The stronger they were, the more repressed they were. The nourished Obscurus becomes stronger.

Both wizards and the Holy See have taken action against the Obscurials, hoping to use them as weapons of war.

Such wars are undoubtedly very cruel, which also drastically reduces the number of Obscurials, and eventually becomes a rumor.

"The book says that the Obscurus dies when it explodes, and its soul is in a torn state, unable to enter reincarnation. Ariana just said that you were with both Albus and Aberforth because... …How many souls do you have?”

Ariana was silent for a moment and said, "Yes."

Before Catherine could continue to ask, she said softly: "Part of my soul follows Al, part follows Aber...and part of it follows Grindelwald."

Aberforth looked at Ariana's shadow in disbelief.

Catherine nodded: "This makes sense. The soul following Grindelwald should be the relatively most powerful part?"

"Yes," Ariana admitted.

"Why?" Aberforth didn't understand.

He hated Grindelwald, not only because he seduced Albus, but also because he had bad intentions. In Aberforth's opinion, he was not sincere, reliable, and dangerous.

Even though he knew that Albus (probably) had younger siblings in his heart, he kept urging Albus to go with him. Later, Grindelwald attacked him, and Aberforth was not surprised. He wanted to kill the villain who seduced his brother.

As a result, after Ariana's accident, Grindelwald ran away, leaving Albus behind, and never appeared again, nor did he express any regret to Ariana.

He talked about building a new wizarding kingdom, but it turned out that all he did was the work of a warmonger. Facts have proved that Aberforth was not wrong about him at all! He is just that kind of war madman who is unqualified as a boyfriend and an unqualified partner!

Why did Ariana follow him, for revenge?

"Because..." Ariana seemed to sigh, "I thought Al was going to leave with him."

When her soul was scattered and she died, the two people she cared about the most were Aber, who had loved and taken care of her since childhood, and Al, whom she had looked up to and admired since childhood.

She wanted to stay with Aber forever, and she also hoped that Al could get everything he wanted.

It was nothing to leave her behind, she couldn't have helped in the first place, Ariana had always felt that way.

Grindelwald was Al's boyfriend. They were so good, and Ariana naively thought that they would be together forever.

So, she gathered the last part of her soul and gave it to him, hoping to see if he could take good care of Al.

She thought that if she died, she could protect Al. When Grindelwald was not good to him, maybe her soul could protect him like a patron saint.
