【GGAD ABO】Nirvana

The old clock had just struck five when Albus arrived home.Ariana was sitting cross-legged in front of the fireplace, covering her ears with her hands and muttering. She liked to sit in front of the fireplace so that she could hug her brother for the first time. "Albus!" The girl jumped up, opening her arms and giving the tired young man a firm hug. "Oh!" exclaimed Ariana, "what's that? Did you bring me vanilla ice cream?"

"Yes, the salary is paid today. I also bought some black tea." Albus kissed his sister's forehead, "You like vanilla; Aberforth likes chocolate - don't deny it, eating ice cream doesn't hurt your dignity. "

Aberforth stared at the ice cream and swallowed unnaturally, "Oh, okay." He looked at the label and grabbed the white ice cream box, "But I have to say, I don't like desserts that much."

"Go and wash your hands," said Albus cheerfully. "I brought Bagshot a copy too. We've always been under her care." He looked at his siblings, who washed their hands and sat at the table opening the ice cream carton, happily ate up.Then he went out, carrying the cardboard box that had been cast with a heat-retaining spell.There was a thin layer of water droplets on the outside of the carton, and he chose the less sweet milk flavor—Gellert Grindelwald was not fond of sweets, he received a Spartan education since he was a child, and abandoned everything " Detrimental to bravery", of course sweetness is one of them.

Bagshot was baking new butter biscuits, and the rich aroma filled the living room.She took the ice cream in surprise, "Oh, my boy, you are so sweet... milk? I love it."

"A Muggle opened a shop diagonally across from the Ministry of Magic," Albus said with a smile, "He said it was an ancestral craft." Looking around the hall, there was no golden shadow.He may be writing and drawing in the study on the second floor, or he may be hiding in the bedroom and tinkering with experiments.But the curtains of that room have never been opened, only a vague light is revealed at night after the lamp is lit.Sure enough, something went wrong, and Albus politely said goodbye and declined the old lady's invitation to dinner.In the garden, a few goblin-potato-like little heads huddled behind the holly bushes and peeped furtively.There were no goblins in the last Bagshot's garden, and no yellow roses.The last Grindelwald should be waiting for his dinner in the living room at this time. When he went to deliver the finger cookies he baked, they first shook hands and said hello in a fake way, and then the first conversation happened, about Arnie mags.

The summer sun had not yet set, half-hanging over the hill, emitting a soft orange light.Albus stepped cautiously across the path, opening his white fence.Beside the steps, a few daffodils were lying crookedly in the soil.He muttered an incantation under his breath, and the leaves of the daffodils trembled, still languid, with no sign of being refreshed.He cast a few more Muggle Confusion Charms over the fence and locked the door.Suddenly he felt itchy in his vest, and when he quickly turned around, on the roof of Bagshot's house across the street, several wild pigeons flapped their wings and fluttered up, and a dove squatted on the edge of the wide eaves, with its hair tilted. Make a weird cry.

"Merlin bless." Albus whispered a prayer.

According to the conditions of the Dumbledore family, it is impossible for every meal to have a deliciously grilled steak on the table.He would receive two manuscript payments in the next few days, Albus calculated, so that, together with the money he had saved, he could buy new dress robes for his siblings.He knew that Ariana was envious of the silk robes of his girlfriends, those close-fitting designs outlined the soft lines of girls.The skirts that are popular among Muggles these days are also very beautiful, with ruffles and lace. He wants to buy one for his sister to try.Aberforth didn't like going to dances, but he was in sixth grade and always had to think about his social future.However, in this way, he will continue to save money to afford the cost of moving.Hogsmeade, London, or The Fertile Fields?As he mused, he heard Aberforth say aloud, "Next market day, I'm going to sell two sheep."

"Sorry, what did you say?"

"I said, I'm going to sell those two sheep."

Aberforth is obsessed with goats, in fact, he is also a good breeder of goats.There were five or six sheep in the sheepfold in the back yard, and Aberforth had told him that two of the ewes were pregnant and might have new lambs in the next month.

"Why?" Albus sipped his black tea. The Muggle named Lipton was very business-minded. "Don't you like them?"

"Those two are grown up, Joseph and Ogg," said Aberforth, as he named each sheep, and talked to them, "it's no use keeping them for grass. I want to sell them, The Muggles in town need goat meat and skins. Of course, they pay me Muggle money. You go to Gringotts and exchange it for Sickles, and I'll figure it out, it's enough for textbooks."

Albus guessed what his brother meant, which made him feel sincerely relieved, "The family doesn't lack money for your textbooks, and besides, you don't need the money for two goats to buy textbooks."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, I don't know how much the book costs...I don't care about that." Aberforth's face was almost as red as his hair, "Anyway, you figure it out!" he roared, "You take Go! Buy some books, textbooks, your messy books, or parchment... Muggle candy! Joseph keeps biting my robes, Ogg is picky eater!" He jumped up, "I don't care! I want to sleep Already!"

"Good night, Aberforth," said Albus gently, "don't forget to brush your teeth and say your evening prayers."

Now, Ariana is left at the table.The girl recited the mantra as if asking for credit, and her eyes sparkled when she was praised.She kept humming while she washed, and when she lay down on the crib, Albus knocked on the door and came in. Ariana sat up immediately, knelt down and held hands. "I'm praying."

"We are together," said Albus, taking his sister's hand, and the two murmured together: "Lord Jesus Christ, when we seek you again in prayer, please blot out and cover all our transgressions." -"

Ariana stopped suddenly, "Albus, I'm sorry. I want to apologize to you... I lied, I couldn't," she looked down, "I couldn't ask God to anoint and cover up my sin."

"What have you done?" Albus stroked her long hair, which was so beautiful and golden in the candlelight, "the Lord will forgive you."

"I only care about your forgiveness." Ariana muttered, "I'm sorry, you told me not to talk to Mr. Bagshot's German, but I..." She noticed that Albus's expression had become serious, and she quickly closed her eyes. Eyes, "I'm sorry bro, I ate lunch and I'm bored. Aberforth went to take a nap, but I'm not sleepy at all. I looked out the window and Mr. German was catching goblins. He floated the goblins to mid-air, and whizzed over the beech treetops. I'd love to know how he did it, you know, we have goblins in our garden too, and they ate your flowers. You like those Flowers, begonias, purses, and daffodils. That's all that's left of the daffodils now. I'm sorry, Albus, please forgive me..."

"It's okay." Albus took his sister's hand again, "Actually, I guess it's a relatively powerful levitating spell. You don't have to worry about the garden, I will find a way." He hesitated for a few seconds, "Arianna , did he tell you the spell?"

"No," Arianna shook her head. "He's very fierce. He ignores me and just reads by himself. He talks like an old man, maybe German speakers are like that." She leaned on Albus's shoulder, "I don't Will talk to him again—I love you, brother."

"I love you too."
