HP solves the mystery

There were suddenly a few people at the table where Sifu was sitting. Looking at the old man with gray hair and beard, he felt that the old man looked familiar.

When Tom saw Sif stop chatting, he followed his line of sight and thought it was quite a coincidence that as soon as Dumbledore left, another Dumbledore came.

Aberforth removed his eyes from Nagini, waved his wand under the gaze of the four people, and added five glasses of butterbeer to the table.

"You don't mind if I share a table, there are no other seats in the store." He said, but sat on the stool before a few people objected.

Nagini looked at the empty seat at the next table and poked Herbo's waist with a sullen expression. This old man had no good intentions.

"Gentlemen, I would like to ask, what is your relationship with this little girl?" Aberforth said directly without Dumbledore's mincing words, "She looks similar to an old friend of mine. Very similar."

Xifu's brows moved. It looked like? How similar is it? Nagini's little chubby girl's appearance is still recognizable at a glance?

Tom patted Silver's hand to calm him down, looked at the old man and asked, "Before asking other people questions, should you tell yourself where you are?"

The lights in the bar are bright, the wood burning in the fireplace makes a crackling sound, and the warm environment makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

Aberforth stroked his beard, looked at Nagini who had foam on her mouth from drinking butterbeer, and sighed deeply.

"My name is Aberforth, and I am the owner of this bar. I look strange to you. You don't come to Hogsmeade often, do you?" He tapped the cup with his fingers, not mentioning what he just said about the lack of space in the bar.

Only then did Sif match the identity of the old man with the one in the information. His blue eyes hidden behind the lenses were exactly the same as Dumbledore's, but the person in front of him didn't have so much calculation in his eyes.

Tom was not surprised at all. He had obviously recognized the old man for a long time. After all, he was the brother of his former rival. It would be unreasonable not to pay more attention to him.

"I know you." Tom nodded, "You are Dumbledore's brother."

Aberforth stared at Tom for a while before breaking the spell on his face, and his expression suddenly became subtle.

The atmosphere on the table was very quiet. Sif glanced at Nagini, who had nothing to do with him, with a smile on his face.

Aberforth's grip on the wand tightened and then relaxed again.

"After the white snake beside you disappeared, Nagini appeared. It was her, right?" He slowly gave a stiff smile and said firmly.

Seeing that Nagini had finished drinking the butterbeer, Tom pushed the wine glass in front of her towards her.

"What do you think?" Tom asked without answering.

Aberforth was silent. He witnessed his son's tragic death decades ago and Nagini turned into a snake and left. His future could be seen at a glance.

Now there is a little girl who looks very similar to Nagini. The type of snake is suitable, but the age is not suitable.

Was Nagini pregnant when she left? That’s why…

Thinking of this, Aberforth's thinking suddenly went off track.

"Where are her parents? Do you know your grandmother's last name?" He coughed and added, "I know the rumors from the outside are not credible, and you two can't give birth to such a big child."

The rumors Aberforth mentioned were gossip from entertainment news and tabloids. Those things sounded true, but when he saw the two people in front of him, he was sure that the rumors were false.

Rumor? Have a baby?

Sifu, who was eating bread, glanced at Tom sideways. He planned to go back and ask questions.

Tom's expression remained unchanged, but he made a mental note to Aberforth.

Aberforth knew the relationship between the two, and when they didn't answer immediately, he had to take a pocket watch from his neck and reveal the photo inside.

"This is a photo of my son, Credence, and his lover. This is one of the few photos left by them... They didn't even have time to leave their portraits..." Aberforth choked, his eyes brimming with tears. Also turned red.

During the old man's intermittent narration, Silver rewatched the speed version of the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and barely remembered some details.

Aberforth carefully touched the group photo on his pocket watch, and reluctantly showed it to everyone out of curiosity.

Nagini blinked her eyes, looking at the two people in the photo who couldn't hide their sadness even if they were smiling, and felt a little unhappy in her heart.

While looking at the photo, Haierbo compared it with Nagini and found that her eyebrows were 50 or 60% similar to the woman in the photo. No wonder the old man became obsessed after just one glance.

"That day, my child lay dying in my arms... She also had to leave because of the blood curse... I became a lonely old man again..." Aberforth wiped his face randomly with the back of his hand. She shed tears and didn't mind at all that her gaffe was seen by Nagini.

His external image is that of being withdrawn, irritable, and unreasonable, but he is not emotionless.

In short, when he saw the descendant of his son's lover, he really lost his guard.

Tom frowned as he looked at the tearful old man. He used a silent spell to cast an anti-eavesdropping spell around him, and then gave Nagini a separate earplug.

"I can tell you about Nagini, but what do I get?" he said coldly.

Aberforth wiped his nose with a handkerchief and nodded understandingly, "A bottle of blood blessed by a unicorn? A unicorn's horn? A centaur's crossbow..." He kept holding chips between his hands, But they were all rejected one by one.

Aberforth then thought about it, it was normal for people in high positions to look down on these things.

So he lowered his voice, approached Tom and said mysteriously, "I have a few books about immortality, do you want them?"

Tom's eyes flashed when he heard this, immortality? How long has it been since he heard this? He wanted to see what kind of book it was.

He nodded slightly, and then began to talk about Nagini.

Aberforth learned about Nagini's life after leaving alone from a brief speech. When he learned that Nagini turned into a snake, ate a blood orchid and turned into a human again, he looked at the little fat girl in surprise. Take a look.

"So...she really is..." Aberforth's throat was dry.

She had her own reasons for letting Nagini leave at the beginning, because no one could accept the change from a thinking person to a snake that couldn't think, so she left everything she was familiar with.

Tom nodded, he was also surprised when he saw Nagini for the first time.

"She broke through the limitations of her body and her wisdom grew after she turned back into a human being. Maybe one day she will remember what happened." He whispered.

Aberforth hesitated for a while. He looked at the bright smile on Nagini's face and felt that losing her memory would be a good thing for her.

"I'm old and don't know how long I can live. I feel relieved knowing that she is doing well." Aberforth rubbed his forehead tiredly, "If possible, I want to leave this bar to her... as long as she My portrait hangs with Ariana, just come and chat with us when you have time..."

Aberforth has no relatives in the world. His wife and son died young, and his son's lover is half a relative. Although he doesn't remember him now, he still misses him.

Besides, his brother, who was also alone, didn't leave any heirs, so there was no use leaving this bar to him.

"Oh, really?" Tom said, "Why don't you discuss it with Dumbledore? You know, this bar and Hogwarts are..."

Aberforth smiled unnaturally after hearing this, his eyes swept over Nagini who was unaware, and his lips wriggled a few times, as if he was enduring something.

"Discuss with him? Let him have a child first. There is no use keeping these things!" He snorted and said disdainfully.

"How are you sure he doesn't have children?"

"Of course I know. After he broke up with that boy Grindelwald...hum, I just know..."

"Okay, very good." Tom felt that Aberforth had forgotten something, so he reminded him, "Have you forgotten that Grindelwald has been in London from Germany for several months? And someone has photographed the two of them together. Diagon Alley in and out.”

"So what? Is it possible to give birth to a child immediately?" As long as he talked about those two people, Aberforth became gritted when he spoke, "If it weren't for the struggle between the two, Ariana would not have died, and neither would my child." will die……"

The old man was angry and painful, but he was afraid of scaring Nagini, so he turned his gaze to the portrait of the girl on the mantelpiece, his eyes flashing fiercely.

Tom was not interested in the lawsuit between the two. He wanted to see if the old man's book about immortality was what he had guessed.

Sif knew what Aberforth meant by the struggle, but the dead man was gone, and it would be useless to talk about it.

"I was very pleased when I found out that you had established a child protection agency and a wizarding orphanage and a primary school." Aberforth adjusted his mood, his eyes still red, he repeated, "I am really pleased. , you proceed from reality, not for any greater interests..."

"I also donated five thousand Galleons to the orphanage. If there had been an elementary school at that time, and Ariana had friends to play with, that tragedy would not have happened..."

Aberforth sat motionless in his chair, staring blankly at the students not far away who were wearing clothes with the words "Wizard Elementary School" printed on them, and let out a long, helpless sigh.

The old man's monologue touched Tom's heart. Sure enough, if he lived in a wizard's orphanage when he was a child, well... it's really hard to say...

"If you like children, I can make you the deputy principal, or go to Wizard Elementary School to teach children survival skills?" Tom pinched a mint and stuffed it into his mouth, and said casually.

"Me? Don't be ridiculous, Merlin, I don't like children." Aberforth quickly shook his head and refused, then seemed to think of something and said hesitantly, "Nagini is studying in primary school, right? Then she can teach one. Teaching, let’s agree first, there will be no more than three classes a week…”

Tom chuckled. He was happy that Wizard Primary School had an extra support.

"You should think about it again. I will have someone come to you to sign the contract in three days." Tom snapped his fingers, and the spell he had just arranged disappeared.

Nagini, who was eating cheese, moved her ears, and she could hear the people around her talking again.

"Helpo, sir, it's really troublesome." She complained to Haierbo who was eating a big piece of bread. As a snake, she could listen to anything, but as a human, she had many restrictions.

Haierbo shrugged. Anyway, the spell had no effect on him. He could listen to it however he wanted, just to pity the stupid Nagini.

"Stop talking, eat more to grow taller." He picked a small croissant and stuffed it into her mouth, not forgetting to laugh at it.

On the other side, Dumbledore accompanied Crouch, the Minister of Magic, and his party after dinner, and then went alone to the suburbs where Lupine lived.

Lupine's current identity is still a member of the Order of the Phoenix. He has not disclosed it to the public because his identity as a double agent was exposed. He had to hide it in order not to bear so much infamy.

When Dumbledore arrived, Lu and Ping had just experienced a full moon night, and their faces were full of exhaustion.

But Sirius was still very happy to see Dumbledore. He was able to come out of Azkaban so quickly, and this man had done a lot of hard work.

"Remus, Sirius, this is a palliative. Tomorrow is a class day, so don't be in a bad mood." Dumbledore said this and took out two bottles of potions.

"Thank you, Headmaster Dumbledore, for always being so considerate." Sirius grinned, took the potion and drank it.

Lupine did not drink it immediately. He placed the potion on the table and waved his wand to summon a tea set.

"Do you want black tea or green tea?" Lu Ping asked with a smile.

"Put more sugar in black tea. This is one of the few hobbies I have." Dumbledore blinked, looking friendly and easy-going.

"Okay, I'll prepare this tea according to the recipe given by Harry. You will definitely like it." Lupine explained.

When Dumbledore heard Harry's name, a trance flashed across his face. The two hadn't seen each other for nearly a year since he went to wizard primary school.

Lupine thought that Dumbledore was here to understand Harry's situation, and talked about the past year. Sirius would add something from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Dumbledore listened patiently, occasionally glancing at the familiar faces passing by on the TV. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little tired.

"Principal Dumbledore, Harry is doing very well. He has many friends in school, whether they are the little wizards in the orphanage or Malfoy and the guys, they all get along very well..." Lupine talked to Harry last time After that, I seriously thought about the current situation.

When the Potter's old house was breached, the life-saving invisibility cloak was not there, but was borrowed by Dumbledore. The original prophecy happened under Dumbledore's nose, which is all very suspicious.

Sirius still foolishly thought that Dumbledore was a good person. When he entered Azkaban, the old man didn't show much attention.

"Oh, that's good." Dumbledore noticed something was wrong with Lupine and replied with a smile on his face, "It's good to make more friends. We can get along peacefully when we get to school. If we are divided into different houses, It’s not good to be unfamiliar.”

Lupine couldn't answer this, so he could only smile and nod.

"Harry must be a Gryffindor, just like James and Lily!" Sirius said firmly.

"I hope so, Sirius. You have to know that the future is unpredictable." Dumbledore took a sip of the sweet black tea and squinted his eyes with satisfaction, "Do you know Voldemort's lover? She is the same as you. Graduate students..."
