The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Aberforth is about to enter the sixth grade. When he came back from the summer vacation, he found that the blond boy hadn't disappeared. He took Ariana for a walk for Albus, and sometimes stayed behind. When he came down to help them cook dinner, he felt like he was going to stop breathing.

"Is your friend so close that he clings to you almost every day? Dorje has never been so clingy to you!" Aberforth gritted his teeth after Grindelwald returned home.

His older brother didn't speak, but handed the younger sister a biscuit in the shape of a mermaid, beckoning her to pass it on to Aberforth.Aberforth felt his heart melt when he got the biscuits from his little sister.Anna looked very good during this period. Although she still felt trapped by the magic power and felt uncomfortable from time to time, she looked a little rosier.

After he ate the biscuits, Albus asked with a smile, "How's the taste?" Seeing Aberforth nodded, he continued, "Gellert baked them, and I think his skills have improved recently."

Aberforth felt the biscuit he had just eaten twisted into a ball in his stomach, and thinking of the arrogant kid baking biscuits for his brother and sister at home, he thought he saw a fire-breathing dragon babysitting the wizard.

Seeing his complexion changed several times, Albus actually asked: "Want another piece?"

Aberforth shook his head as if losing his voice, and choked out a sentence for a while: "You two have a great relationship!"

Dumbledore almost wanted to touch the chain hanging around his neck. Although his button was fastened to the top and the necklace could not be seen, he still thought that it would be better not to tell Aberforth just now, so that the two of them would not have to fight.

Although Gellert heard his worries, he said disdainfully: "I don't bully children. If he disagrees, I'll just turn around and leave, and come back when his anger subsides."

Thinking about his words, Dumbledore always felt like eating honey candy in his heart. He bit the cookie slowly, and a smile unconsciously curled up on his lips.

This made Aberforth look at him suspiciously: "Are you in a relationship? I heard from Anna that a new family has moved into the valley and has a daughter."

The sudden question made Dumbledore almost get stuck in the cookie. He coughed a few times, pulled out a handkerchief to cover his lips, and said after a while, "Why do you ask so suddenly?"

Aberforth shrugged: "My roommate has a girlfriend who smiles like you every day."

Dumbledore took a sip of tea, diverted his attention, and said with a tense expression, "I don't have a girlfriend." He thought for a while, and added, "The daughter of the new family has a fiancé."

"It's not that I don't want you to fall in love. You are old and young, and sooner or later you will find a suitable person." Aberforth pretended to be old-fashioned, "But you have to recognize the other person's true nature."

Dumbledore laughed, and couldn't help but want to tease his younger brother: "It seems that you are very experienced, do you have a girl you fancy too?"

Although it was strange to think of the appearance of Grindelwald baking biscuits, the taste of butter and honey made Aberforth reach for another one: "No, the girls in our school can't talk to me, they always feel that I Doing weird experiments with sheep. I just want the goat hair to grow more!"

Dumbledore thought of the letter of complaint sent by the school, and still didn't want to talk about this issue. Unexpectedly, Ariana, who had been silent all this time and was still playing crossword puzzles, looked up and asked softly, "Are you going to marry Gellert?"

Aberforth's second biscuit was twisted into his stomach again, and he almost growled: "What? You are going to marry a foreign boy? I can't agree! He doesn't look like a good person! No, how can you marry a foreigner?" A man married?"

Why is Ariana so sharp, is it because she has really grown up?Dumbledore almost wanted to touch his necklace again, so he restrained himself and wisely did not answer, but instead asked his sister, "Why do you have such an idea?"

"Because Aberforth put his arms around your waist while you were cooking in the kitchen the day before Aberforth came back." Arianna raised her head and said innocently and softly.

Merlin's hair!This is true!Dumbledore almost supported his forehead, not knowing whether he should explain to his sister first or comfort his brother first, or send a letter to Gellert first.

He looked up to see Aberforth startled, then almost shaking with rage.But miraculously, he suppressed his voice, for fear of being overheard: "No wonder when I went back to school last time, he said he would pick me up if something happened, so you two..., Albus, your brain Broken? How do you introduce him to others? You can't get married! The magic world can't approve this kind of marriage!"

Dumbledore looked at him in surprise. He thought that Aberforth would object directly, but he didn't expect that the other party would first consider him from his point of view.After a while he said softly: "Thank you, Aberforth, I think we can always remain single to the outside world. Although the magic world does not approve of this kind of marriage, there are many people who are single all their lives. We can remain good friends for a while. , maybe one day, the world will change."

"You always want to change the world! It's unrealistic!" Aberforth gasped with anger.

"Because I can't change myself." Dumbledore looked at his younger brother, remembering what Grindelwald once said to himself, he always felt that since Aberforth grew up, there was a lack of reciprocity between their brothers exchange.

He thought softly, "Aberforth, we have all grown up, there is a lot of helplessness in this world, but we have the right to choose our own path, at least for now, I don't want to reconcile with this world that has caused me many problems , I am still young, I have a lot of time. Even if it is only a little bit, I also hope that I will work hard to make this world a better place in my lifetime, instead of becoming helpless because of it and can only complain and sigh. I believe that I am not the only one in this world With the exception of Gellert, there will be other wizards like us who have to hide their love."

Dumbledore spoke faster and faster, almost choked up, and he had to pause for a moment to lose control of his emotions.All their lives, they have been hiding their identities, their love, everything, suppressing themselves, not knowing what to do.We hide our identities, we hide our love, we hide everything, we suppress ourselves.

After recovering slightly, he then said to his younger brother who was looking at him in shock: "We haven't hurt anyone, but we are constantly being hurt by others because of hiding. So I hope that in this world, things like Anna will never happen again. In my lifetime, don't The feelings that Gellert and I have to hide are reappearing."

Aberforth scratched at his shaggy hair, and although Albus was always right, he was rather annoyed by the incident.But his brother was sitting here, speaking to him with such a calm and powerful voice, but there was an unconcealable sadness in his eyes.There have been too many tragedies in their family, and finally his brother can be happy, but the person who brings him joy is not the person who is most in line with the worldly evaluation. If he must let his brother break up, maybe Albus will do it for the sake of the family. , for the sake of responsibility, he will really agree, but is he going to let his brother live in such sorrow for no reason?

Seeing his younger brother almost jumping up, but because he didn't want to irritate Arianna, he forced himself to sit on the sofa and writhed anxiously, Ah Bu thought for a while, and then said: "You really think that Gellert and I are not suitable, Still angry that I didn't tell you?"

Aberforth, who was half dead with anger, still thought about it along with his brother's train of thought. The former also made him angry, but the latter made him even more angry.After being led astray for a while, his train of thought came back straight again, and he couldn't help but said angrily: "You are always so reasonable! I can't say no to you, anyway, just don't cry in the future!"

"I can only say, trust Gellert more, maybe we will be a family in the future." Thinking of this, Dumbledore suddenly wanted to laugh.

Sure enough, Grindelwald, who thought of being with that arrogant one, who always pointed at him, looked down on him, and acted like I don't care about you for your brother and sister, may become a A member of his own family, Aberforth's mouth was almost crooked.

"You can fall in love with him! But he, can't, last name, Dumbledore!" Aberforth shouted resolutely!

Dumbledore, who was still a little sad at first, burst out laughing instantly, Merlin, thank you, my brother is really funny.

Arianna, who didn't know what the eldest brother was laughing at, or what the second brother was angry with, looked around, but still found it funny, and laughed softly.Her laughter made the two Dumbledore brothers look at each other, and a temporary peace agreement was reached.

Aberforth whispered: "It's because he still takes good care of Anna. Also, you have some ideas."

Thinking of the blood alliance necklace hanging around his neck, Dumbledore also chuckled softly: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."

How can you measure it!Aberforth said sullenly: "Do you know, you look like the kind of girl in our grade who falls in love with bad boys, and you can't listen to other people's advice at all! It's like being obsessed!"

Dumbledore smiled muffled, and whispered, "Okay, okay, I see."

Aberforth didn't want to talk to him anymore, he stood up and walked towards Arianna: "Anna, let's go back to the room and get ready to sleep, let this idiot brother please himself."

Dumbledore watched his sister come over, kissed his cheek, whispered goodnight, watched them go back to the room, touched their necks, all the way down, touched the small pendant on his chest through his clothes, and smiled Eyes, briskly went upstairs to his room, unfolded the parchment and wrote a letter to another swearer of the blood alliance.

The next afternoon, Grindelwald, who came prepared, looked at the very sad Aberforth, and said with a half-smile: "Good day, Aberforth."

Aberforth gritted his teeth and looked at him, not even wanting to say hello. Unexpectedly, Grindelwald went on to say, "I'm going to go fishing with your brother. Can you take care of Arianna for a while? Besides, if our fishing goes well , How about we have butter baked fish tonight?"

Although he is not particularly keen on housework, Grindelwald wanted to annoy him when he thought of Alber's expression when he wrote a letter yesterday when he ate the biscuits he baked. Sure enough, Aberforth had a toothache expression on his face , making his stomach twitch with laughter.

Dumbledore, who had heard the two of them talking in the room, stood by the door at this time, and was about to say hello to his boyfriend. Unexpectedly, Aberforth grabbed Grindelwald and dragged him to the side of the tree. Wo waved his hand at Dumbledore, who was anxious to start a fight, to indicate that it was okay, and heard the little Mr. Dumbledore lower his voice but gritted his teeth: "If you dare to bully my brother, I will break your bones!"

Oh, what a touching brotherhood, which has no other virtues but absolute loyalty to one's own family and absolute protection of justice.Grindelwald glanced at him expressionlessly, then snorted suddenly, slowly took his hand away from his arm, looked at him from top to bottom, and said coldly: "It seems that I have to work hard not to let You broke my bones."

Aberforth, who hated his tone, wanted to speak, but Grindelwald pushed him away and walked towards Dumbledore. When he passed by, he stood still, turned his head slightly and whispered: "To be honest , I hate you very much, and I believe you hate me too. However, we love the same person, although we love in different ways and reasons, but I hope we will try to maintain basic peace in the future. I don't want Alnan to be a man , I believe you too."

This is what I want to say!Aberforth was so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet. He showed an angry expression behind Grindelwald, but looked at his brother who was dazzled by love and looked at them worriedly, so he folded his arms and looked away, seeing Grindelwald I don't know what I whispered to his brother, so his brother laughed softly.

It is true that he has not seen Albus such a relaxed and happy smile for a long time. His smile is always thoughtful. It is not that there are no female students in school who like him, but they always feel that he is difficult to approach, and Albus also Always maintain a friendly but polite state with them.He was afraid that Anna's affairs would be discovered by them, that his family's past would always be brought up, and that it would bring new harm to them, so he always kept everything hidden.

But Grindelwald has a lot of bad things, he knows their family very well, and he is willing to accept it, and makes Albus look very happy.

Aberforth rolled his eyes at the sky, Merlin, come on, let's talk about your relationship!Is it amazing to fall in love!

Magic fishing does not require too much effort. The fishing rod was propped by the lake, and the two of them were lying side by side on the green grass. Dumbledore told him what happened at home yesterday. In the letter last night, he simply wrote that Abu Forth knew about their relationship, but he didn't elaborate on it. At this moment, he couldn't stop laughing when he talked about it again.

Finally he said: "I didn't expect Aberforth to be willing to accept it. I thought it would be a long process."

"He certainly doesn't want to accept me, but he is willing to accept you, just because of your attitude towards Anna now, and," Grindelwald said lazily, he paused, and finally continued, "You returned to his The appearance of my brother in memory, people are always more accepting of the person they imagined in their hearts, whether it is true or not."

Dumbledore watched the thin clouds drifting slowly, laying out sections of white bands in the sky, and then turned his head to look at the people around him: "Sometimes you are like another self living in my heart. I may not Knowing that they are important to me, I always feel that I can't wait to let the world see me, so that I can get out of the original shadow. You let me understand that family is not a shadow and should be cherished. But you also let me understand that just make that The appearance is not enough, and it is more difficult to maintain."

"I don't know if it's right." Grindelwald was silent for a while before answering.He didn't look at the people around him, but just looked at the sky.

"What?" Dumbledore looked at him not quite understanding.

After thinking about the sky for a while, Grindelwald turned his head to look at his lover: "I don't know if this is right. I know everything about you, but I just guided you on a path according to my thoughts. I think it's right. I don't know which path is more suitable for you..." He murmured.

At the beginning, he was ecstatic. He didn't expect that he could really change history. At least Ariana was still alive, and Aberforth was willing to reconcile with them. He not only regained Albus' love, but also saved him from being raped The temptation of his own thoughts, to do it all over again, to control the future, and to avoid risks finally made him look forward to this life.

The longer the time, the more he felt that he had lost his confidence. He didn't know if it was really beneficial to Dumbledore, if keeping him trapped in the circle, seeing the harmony of his family was the greatest compensation for him.And it's only been half a year, only a few months more than before, and there are many, many years to come, can he be so lucky again and again?

Dumbledore groped to hold his hand, and he immediately snapped it back, fingers locked together, Dumbledore turned over in this posture, lay down beside him, and said with great interest: "You always think so much. He said, tracing the center of his brow with his finger, "You've been worrying a lot lately. Gail, what are you worrying about?"

"I hope you have a good day every day, but I worry, am I the one who can keep it." Grindelwald looked deeply into his eyes.

Dumbledore stretched out his hand to brush his forehead hair, and said in a low voice: "You are by my side, watching so closely, what else can you be unhappy about? Besides, getting what you want doesn't depend on you alone, I have to work hard, too. Isn't it?" He said, but he got closer and closer, breathing in front of his eyes, which made people itch.

Grindelwald took out his wand and silently cast a protective spell around them, and Dumbledore's kiss with a smile fell gently.His little lover was getting more and more active, he thought, throwing away his wand, clasped his neck, and kissed deeper.Under the protection of the spell, they are intimate, as in no man's land.

In the evening, Aberforth looked at his brother and the blond foreign boy from the window, came back with a fish bucket and a fishing rod, talking and laughing, curled his lips, but as soon as his brother walked in, he almost wanted to Shout out, their clothes are not as neat as they were before they went out, and there are grass clippings on their backs that haven't been cleaned up.He gritted his teeth and watched his brother and Grindelwald happily enter the kitchen, and decided to ignore him and just look after his little sister.

When he turned his head, he found that Arianna was holding a toy wand, turning it towards the black tea in the teacup, and the tea floated in the air above the teacup, turning into small flowers.He took a step back in shock, almost calling out his brother's name, but retreated quietly into the kitchen.

As soon as he stepped in, he saw Grindelwald crossing his arms and smiling, watching Albus handle the fish with his wand, and they were chatting quietly, almost in another world.Seeing him coming in with a pale face, his brother asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Aberforth gasped for breath, suppressed his voice and quickly said angrily: "When did you start using the wand for Anna?"

Dumbledore poked his head quietly, watching his sister still playing with a toy wand, and said in a low voice: "After you left, Anna had seizures twice, and we started to think of a way. She has been able to realize that she has changed. existence, so we want her to control the magic and transfer the power out."

Aberforth gasped for breath, suppressed his voice and complained: "It's agreed, don't you just use her as an experiment?"

His brother looked at him in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain it.He can explain it to Aberforth in a straightforward manner, but they are brothers, and they are equally concerned about Anna's safety. If there is any problem with the life and death of this little sister, they don't know how to face the parents who gave their lives for her. .Aberforth also knew that he might not disagree, but fear and despair always made him wonder how to deal with everything that happened to his little sister's growth.

Grindelwald interjected at this point: "Anna's situation can no longer be delayed. If she can't control herself, she will have more and more frequent seizures and eventually lose her mind. If we guide her step by step, she has a chance to survive. "

"She's alive and well now!" Aberforth raised his voice, and when he yelled, tears were falling uncontrollably.

Grindelwald exhaled lightly, turned his head to look at the corner of the ceiling to suppress his impatience, and turned his head to him after a while and said: "If Anna can't learn to guide magic through the wand, we don't know Can she live past the age of 20? Let me say it again, it is already a miracle for Mo Moran like her to live past the age of ten, but this miracle cannot last forever."

They looked at Ariana in the living room at the same time, especially Grindelwald, with deep brows.He has only seen a Mo Ran who lived to be in his 20s. Credence's power is too powerful. He and Mo Ran have reached a symbiotic reconciliation, especially after he later realized what he was and accepted the wand to control him. magic.And Anna is too tightly protected, and I don't know if she has Credence's willpower. If she doesn't think about it, she can survive now, and she doesn't know how long she can live.

Aberforth seemed to have calmed down at last. He watched his little sister let the tea paint flowers in the air, and she was silent, staring at his magic.After a long while, he finally realized that after using the magic for so long, his sister did not have an attack due to stimulation.He sniffled and said hoarsely, "How did you do it?"

"Me and, Gellert, talked to her a few times." Dumbledore said lightly. "It was a bit difficult, but we made her realize that magic can never disappear, and if she continues like this, not only will she die, It may also implicate others. Although this is not her fault, it is her responsibility. It is important that Gellert ask her if she has grown up and doesn't want to protect her brothers."

Recalling this, Dumbledore turned his face away. This kind of conversation, he had to force his little sister to face the conversation of growing up, which made him heartbroken. He couldn't recall it anymore, and he didn't want others to see him in pain tears.

Aberforth sniffled and his voice became even hoarse. "If only I could, if this was six-year-old Ariana. If the Time-Turner would let me go back..."

"Even if you go back, if Anna's things change, more things may change. For example, because you stopped the Muggle boys, Anna is fine, and your father is also very good, and did not take revenge on those Muggle children In the end, if the Aurors didn't come to catch him, they would have missed a murder case in which a pure-blood wizard hated half-bloods because they came to catch your father, and because they didn't stop that pure-blood killing randomly, your brother might It's nearby, I can't avoid it..." Grindelwald said calmly, and at the end, this result seemed to hurt him, so he frowned and stopped talking.

Aberforth almost wanted to curse, it's not good to give any example, take his brother as an example.But before he could speak, Albus looked at Grindelwald with a pale face: "Why are you speaking so truthfully?"

This question made Aberforth calm down, and he realized that the example Grindelwald gave was too real and the regulations were clear.He turned his head and looked at the other person bowing his head. After a while, his brother asked softly but sternly, "Answer me!"

Grindelwald sighed, and took out a small purse from his pocket. This gadget that he had stretched seamlessly contained many things he had to use. He reached in and touched it, and took out a time-turner from inside. .Without looking, he held the little thing up to Dumbledore.

"You've been back! Do you know how dangerous this is? Merlin! Last year because of the trapping of wizards, the Time-Turner has been completely banned!" Dumbledore grabbed the Time-Turner and almost burst out angrily. screamed, but his voice trembled at the end.

Grindelwald didn't look at him, and didn't explain to him, just said: "I took this from a professor when I was still in school, and he doesn't know that I took this thing now."

Aberforth felt his face was numb, he didn't know whether to lament that this lunatic really had to go back to help his family change history, or to warn his brother that he shouldn't associate with this kind of person again.But seeing his brother was so angry that his lips were trembling, and the high pressure in the kitchen made this reckless young man couldn't help but say, "Talk slowly, I'll go and see Anna."

As he spoke, he exited the kitchen and even closed the door considerately.Standing at the door for a while, he felt that he should just graduate and drive these two people out of the house, otherwise he didn't know what trouble they would have.

The two people inside the door continued to confront each other. After a while, Dumbledore said in a hoarse voice: "How dare you do this? How could you do this when I didn't know! Do you know that if you change history, I may I will never meet you, I will forget you, and you may be trapped in time and space! How can you!"

Grindelwald turned his head and didn't look at him. He found this little gadget when he was packing up after establishing a blood alliance with Dumbledore. Although he often took some loot during various experiments in his previous life, he still had it. Never experimented with this little thing.Taking it out this time, he wondered if he could use this little thing to make the Dumbledore family run smoothly if he could be reborn, but he didn't expect the result that made him even more collapsed.

After he revised the result, the painful lesson made him understand that time is not allowed to be teased, and history is not allowed to be changed casually.

If so, what is the significance of his existence here?

"It was last month, wasn't it?" asked Dumbledore, though his voice was quiet, serious.

Grindelwald covered up his panic and confusion, and said impatiently: "I corrected it at the time! And I used it just once!"

Dumbledore didn't speak anymore, Grindelwald, who didn't get a response from him for a while, turned his head, waiting for the next wave of quarrel, only to find that Dumbledore was staring at him with his lips pursed, his eyes were full of water, but he held back Trying not to let them fall, seeing him looking over, he immediately lowered his head not to let him see, but his hands still trembled uncontrollably.

Sighing, Grindelwald smiled wryly in his heart, he is over 100 years old, why are he still arguing with young people about such things, he thought, stood up straight and leaned over, feeling that Dumbledore dodged slightly, but he still insisted firmly He hugged the other person into his arms, gently stroked Dumbledore's shoulders, and whispered in his ear: "Okay, I was wrong, and I will never take risks without discussing with you in the future."

Dumbledore leaned stiffly in his arms. After an unknown amount of time, he put his arms around his back and asked in a low voice, "You have been very worried since last month. I asked you today, and you also Don’t say it, but it’s actually because of this, isn’t it?”

Grindelwald just hugged him without answering, he couldn't tell all the contents inside.

Because the modification of Anna's time led to Dumbledore's sudden death, Grindelwald almost had the idea of ​​killing Ariana after returning from time travel.During the period, Ariana had an attack once, and he wanted to pretend to be an accident and kill her directly.Would this little girl be a threat to Dumbledore alive?In the last life, it was after she died that Dumbledore survived for nearly 100 years. In this life, if she is alive now, will he have to bear the consequences of revising history?

He thought it would be enough for Dumbledore to live in peace and happiness when he came back, but he didn't expect that his life was at risk!This even gave him an idea: Then I might as well let him give up part of it, at least he can save his life.

He felt that this idea was a bit silly. In theory, the unchangeable point in the past should be counted from the moment he came back, not that the events after his rebirth could not be changed, otherwise he would have violated the theorem if he stood here.He also discussed the issue of time travel with Dumbledore in his previous life. They believed that there are many contingencies in history, and even a little modification may change everything.So these accidents after his rebirth are uncontrollable, so naturally he shouldn't worry about it.But this still made him uncontrollably agitated, afraid that something he could not control would happen in a place he could not see.

Not wanting to answer this question, he just hugged Dumbledore a little tighter, thinking: It would be good to be honest about this, at least he would have a reason to look at his Al more closely in the future.

Dumbledore raised his head, and the water stains still fell on the corners of his eyes. Grindelwald raised his hand and rubbed it off gently, and said softly: "We will talk about this matter later, now, let's make dinner first, otherwise your younger brothers and sisters outside Hungry."

Unable to be amused by him, Dumbledore took a step back, turned his head and wiped his eyes, and looked at the fish behind him: "You said you wanted to make cream baked fish for Aberforth."
