Starting Over at Hogwarts

Snape's idea was nothing short of naive.

The potions teacher didn't know what he was facing at all. He just thought that it was impossible for him to get involved in the battle between Peter Pettigrew and Voldemort.

Snape felt the only thing he could do...

About when the two Dark Lords were fighting, he instigated Dumbledore to stand behind them and the fisherman profited.

Peter Pettigrew didn't seem to care about his thoughts either, walked slowly towards Snape, and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Okay, go and report to Headmaster Dumbledore, he and his sister should have been talking about the same thing. now..."

"and."

Peter Pettigrew paused for a while, then suddenly chuckled: "Snape, it's best not to do any tricks under my watch, it will only make you suffer more..."

Peter Pettigrew stretched out his finger, pointed to his eyes, and pointed to Snape: "When the new year comes, Lily's ghost will appear in the school as a gift for you and Harry that little one. New Year's gift, she will always look at you, I believe you must know that what she hates most is those two-faced villains..."

"I'm going to see other people. Happy Christmas Eve, Snape."

After finishing speaking, Peter Pettigrew smiled and waved his hand. Layers of halos appeared under his feet, and his figure disappeared in front of Snape as a ray of light.

"..."

Snape watched him leave with gloomy eyes.

There has never been a dark wizard who has been recorded by Hogwarts for more than a thousand years, but there has never been such a nasty Dark Lord as Peter Pettigrew!

Yet Snape could not resist. .

Now he can only follow Peter Pettigrew's instructions, go to find Dumbledore, and report to him the Christmas Eve deal mentioned by Peter Pettigrew.

Inside the Hogwarts Great Hall.

Except for the ghosts of Albus Dumbledore and his sister Ariana Dumbledore, all the students, professors and ghosts here have long since left, and everyone has handed over this place to the pair who met again after a hundred years. siblings.

"Who are you?"

Ariana is just a timid girl with a weak mind.

Even if her soul has long since been freed from the shackles of her brain, it only prevents her from being stimulated by some brain stimulation, but it still cannot add to her complete experience.

The little girl looked timidly at the bearded Dumbledore, her eyes were full of surprise and curiosity, and she subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide.

"Ariana..."

Dumbledore raised his head and looked at his little sister, who was a little embarrassed, and his eyes gradually became more confused, as if he saw the past family through his younger sister's youth...

After a long time, the old man's eyes gradually deepened, his lips quivered a little, and he murmured, "I am... Albus... Albus Dumbledore."

no doubt.

This is Dumbledore's saddest self-introduction.

Right and wrong, the vicissitudes of life, the ignorance of relatives, these are undoubtedly the most painful and sad things in this world...

"Albus?"

Ariana tilted her head in confusion.

"Yes…"

Dumbledore nodded heavily, stretched out his palm towards Ariana in the air, and an old voice echoed in the auditorium: "Your brother... Albus Dumbledore... sorry... Ariana... It's too late to find..."

"..."

A look of surprise appeared on Ariana's face.

Albus Dumbledore's appearance has become too much, so that she can't see the young and handsome brother, or even find the slightest resemblance.

The little girl stepped back, looked at the empty auditorium, and asked subconsciously, "Aberforth... Where is Aberforth..."

Compared with the talented Albus Dumbledore, what Ariana wants to see is another brother, Aberforth Dumbledore, who has been accompanying and caring for her.

"I asked him to come see you..."

Dumbledore stretched out his palm towards his sister again, and explained softly, "It's been too long, Ariana, we haven't seen each other in nearly a hundred years..."

Life and death.

It is destined that relatives will not be able to meet.

Now they have a rare chance to meet, although this is caused by Peter Pettigrew's conspiracy, but it is really lucky...

"Albus?"

Ariana's voice was a little childish.

The little girl slowly descended hesitantly, staring blankly at her old elder brother, looking at this elder brother, who had been shining brightly since childhood, who was already very old...

"Yes…"

Dumbledore reached out his hand tremblingly and wanted to touch her hair, but he could only touch the empty space, because Ariana was just a ghost...

Dumbledore restrained the grief in his heart, looked at his sister and whispered softly: "Let's go, let's find a place to settle down first, and then write a letter to invite Aberforth to come to Hogwarts for Christmas tomorrow. A hundred years, I will tell you slowly..."

"..."

Ariana nodded hesitantly, and looked at the great hall curiously: "Is this Hogwarts? This is my first time here..."

Yes.

This is her first time at Hogwarts.

Although this little girl was born in the Dumbledore family, she was born with magical powers, but unfortunately she did not wait until the age of eleven, because of the mental breakdown of several Muggle boys, the magical power was out of control, and she completely lost the ability to live alone. …

Since then.

Naturally, there is no way to study at Hogwarts.

Until the day she died in the conflict in Godric's Hollow, Ariana's spirit never improved.

Even if she is now in a ghost state, the psychological trauma seems to have not been healed, just because the ghost can't feel the pain of the magic power going out of control, and she has not been stimulated too much, and now she can maintain her sense...

Just as Dumbledore and Ariana were about to leave the Great Hall, Snape hurried back here!

"..."

Ariana panicked and hid behind Dumbledore.

Snape didn't care, he just walked over quickly and said solemnly: "Dumbledore, Peter Pettigrew has appeared... Ariana's ghost is a conspiracy he has planned for you... He dare not come to see you. , let me tell you..."

"Severus!"

Dumbledore's face turned solemn, he stopped Snape's movements in a cold voice, his eyes showed a touch of indifference, and he suppressed his emotions and said, "...If there is something...let's talk about it later...Can you? "

Now that Ariana's soul has just returned, he doesn't want his sister to become a victim again. This is absolutely unacceptable to this old man...

In fact, Dumbledore had already had expectations in his heart.

The old man knew very well that the ghost of his sister was sent to Hogwarts by Peter Pettigrew. There must be a rather terrifying conspiracy that would even change the situation in this world.

A Dark Lord...

How could he be so kind!

However, when Ariana's soul really appeared, when his sister spoke cowardly like a hundred years ago, Dumbledore had to admit one thing...

some price...

must be paid.

No matter what conspiracy Peter Pettigrew has or what deal he wants to use his sister's soul to make, Dumbledore is willing to pay the price...

no more…

He felt happier than his family being together~www.NovelMTL.com~Severus. "

Dumbledore looked at Snape with a serious expression and raised his eyes: "Peter has the Resurrection Stone in his hand, he must have secretly used Lily's soul to blackmail you?"

"..."

Snape nodded silently.

This kind of thing...

Certainly impossible to exceed Dumbledore's expectations.

After all, both Dumbledore and Peter Pettigrew are very aware of his infatuation with Lily, and Peter Pettigrew will definitely not let him go...

"We'll have a good talk in a while..."

Dumbledore took a deep breath.

With the appearance of the Resurrection Stone, a lot of problems also came, making Dumbledore feel a little breathless, at least there are many problems with Snape in front of him...

Dumbledore looked at Snape and asked softly, "Severus, please help me find Aberforth first and let him help take care of Ariana, and then we can talk about the troubles about Peter..."

to be frank.

Dumbledore was still a little uncomfortable taking care of his sister.

Now he really desperately needs Aberforth to take care of his sister, so that he can concentrate on discussing Peter Pettigrew with Snape.

"Okay."

Snape nodded slowly.

What Dumbledore did not expect, however, was that Aberforth was also meeting a guest.

There is always a kind of person in this world who likes to maximize profits. Peter Pettigrew, the third-generation Dark Lord, is undoubtedly such a person...
