【GGAD ABO】Nirvana

The young parents rushed over after hearing the sound, and Albert took his daughter away and gave his wife a look.Ariana nodded, closed the door tightly, then sat down where Anne had just been sitting, and handed over a handkerchief.

"I might have a cold." Albus smiled with tears in his eyes, "Sorry, I woke you up at four o'clock..."

"Can't you not apologize?" Ariana said. "I've been meaning to say, Albus, stop saying 'I'm sorry.' You've been like this for as long as I can remember. We're family, I Not your co-workers, not your students, not your neighbors. You always act like..." She stammered, "'Mature and prudent', Mom is worried about that, that you won't make friends at school."

"I'm alright at school," said Albus, "I don't know about worrying Mum about that, eh—"

Arianna was half reproachful, half sad, "Albus, Mom won't want to hear you apologize to her, I'm sure."

Albus wiped his eyes, a large teardrop hung on the side of his nose, and Ariana gently squeezed it away with his fingers. "Aberforth is still sleeping, and he keeps interrupting me." She smiled, "I think... I want to talk to you, Albus, I have to talk, about Gellert Grindelwald You were very... good, you said, and he proposed to you. But why didn't you say yes? Excuse me, put yourself in his shoes, you don't want to hear his name right now, but I think you have to Find out... why did you refuse his marriage proposal? Did you quarrel?"

Albus was silent, another teardrop fell, "No." He sniffed, his voice hoarse, "We never... no, we hardly ever quarreled."

"That's great, to be honest, even Albert and I, even when we were passionately in love, sometimes argue." Arianna said, tucking her feet under the covers and taking Albus's hand, "You hardly ever Quarreling, kindred spirits - I heard your conversations, don't deny it, you have tons of things in common - although he's a foreigner and a bit grumpy, he's not bad looking and never gets mad at you. You're a perfect match ...In the end, why did you not agree to him? After you get married, you should live a very happy life, 'Like a rose blooming, the flowers will bloom and prosper, and the joy will be more joyful, and cheers.'”

"I can't help it," said Albus, tears faltering. "We have a lot in common, but it's just—"

"Never have ordinary friends been as close as the two of you, spending all your free time together. One summer, he pulled up a young poplar tree, and he rode a tree like a Russian wizard to fly you around in the valley. licking his waist... I've never seen you smile like that before. Last month, that loquacious woman, Annie Smick, came up to me and asked me why you haven't given Grindelwald a baby. She used to Just gossiping with Mrs. Potter behind her back, talking about not seeing your marriage announcement in the newspaper. Mrs. Potter said disdainfully that newspapers are not popular among young people nowadays—you see, in the eyes of everyone, you That's the relationship."

"I misunderstood everyone...including, including Gellert." Albus lowered his eyes, "As I said, it's my problem."

"You're not telling the truth," Arianna's tone became stern, her expression agitated, "Albus, you like him. You taught Aberforth and me not to lie, Aberforth stole dry bread, You hit him on the palm of his hand to teach him the lesson. We are wizards, but you follow your mother to worship God. Jesus said, 'He who truly worships the Father, worship him in spirit and truth, for the Father wants such people to worship him .'You like Gellert but you don't admit it, you go to church every Sunday, isn't it just a show in front of the cross? - It's not wrong to like someone, why can't you follow your heart?" Seeing Albus's pale face, she shrank her neck immediately, "I don't mean to criticize you, I also understand... falling in love is very troublesome and complicated...you can say that you don't like him, or even that you hate him He, but your eyes cannot deceive others, and your heart cannot deceive yourself."

Albus stared blankly at his sister - her blond hair was uncombed and fell in a mess on the back of her chest; her blue eyes were in the shape of Dumbledore, bright and piercing; her skin was fair, with a few freckles on the tip of her nose .She is not much different from when she was 14 years old, she is still beautiful and cute.He snapped back her hand, "Arianna, my sister."

Ariana smiled confusedly, "I'm here. I mean, if you—"

"I'm sorry, Arianna," Albus's tears suddenly flowed down his thin cheeks like a river of melting spring ice and snow, "I have to beg your forgiveness... Can you forgive me? Arianna, in After I have done so many wrong things, can you forgive me?..."

"What's wrong with you? Oh, Merlin, I've been infected by Aberforth's bad habit of talking." Ariana put her arms around her brother's shoulders, "I forgive you, of course."

"Can you really forgive me?" asked Albus, "I regret it so much... Arianna, I regret it... how many nights I can't sleep, it's a nightmare when I close my eyes..."

"I understand that this must have hit you hard," Arianna said eagerly. "I accept your apology, and I forgive you, everything. Stop blaming yourself, Albus, it's not you." wrong."

Albus lay on his sister's shoulder, crying uncontrollably, "...I feel ashamed, very ashamed, this is my shame..."

"I get it," Ariana said, running her fingers through the tangled red hair, "but there's no shame in loving someone, even if he hurts you."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself," Albus choked up, "I'm so scared. I'm afraid I'll lose my way…"

"...We can't control our emotions... I have experienced this." Ariana murmured, "Everyone is dizzy when they are in love.".In fact, she didn't fully understand the reason for Albus's apology, but just obeyed his words and comforted him softly.Her brother carried so much weight that it was rare for him to behave in a way that suited his age.Maybe it's a good idea to cry.Heavy footsteps appeared outside the door, Aberforth knocked hard a few times, yawned and squeezed in, holding a sweater in his hand, "—I heard Anne say——"

"Aberforth," Albus said, reaching out a hand and grabbing his brother's fingers, "please, please forgive me."

"Forgive you?" Aberforth was confused, "What are you doing? Oh," he received Ariana's gaze, and hurried forward to hold his brother's hand awkwardly, "Forgive you, I forgive you. Even if you knit me a sweater in a color...unique." He pulled the sweater over his pajamas, his hair bristling, "Don't cry, Albus, we should all have a merry Christmas. I Know you're not happy. How about a new year to start over? You said 'lost', I didn't mean to eavesdrop - lost be lost, you always come to yourself in the end. So many people fall in love, They were all dizzy at first like they had been bitten by a billywig bug, and then they all recovered...you're so smart, you can do it too."

Albus wiped his face, which was red and hot from crying, "Unfortunately, the people I love often end badly."

"Bullshit," Aberforth laughed, "don't you love me and Ariana? We're doing fine. Come on, cheer up, you'll have good luck next year...don't believe me later Break open a fortune cookie."

"You're right, I love you guys. I'll do my best to make your life better too," said Albus. "At least I got half of what I wanted the most..."

"What do you want?" Aberforth asked.

Albus pulled a pair of woolen socks from under the pillow and shook them.Aberforth smugly said, "I gave it to you. The wool socks with the quill pen pattern are one Sickle more expensive than other patterns." Ariana spread her hands regretfully, "If you didn't say it sooner—well, I'll give it to you again A pair of socks, to complete that half."

When the sun rose, the blinding sunlight filtered through the curtains and became blurred.Albus knelt by the window, praying silently.

"Who will stand up for me against the evildoer? Who will stand up for me against the evildoer? If the LORD had not helped me, I would have lived in silence. As I said I stumbled, O LORD, then you Your loving kindness sustains me. I am troubled and doubtful, but you comfort me and make me happy."
