Chapter 412: Why Does Ariana Talk So Much Like Me?
Blake picked up his pocket watch and looked at it.
The pocket watch still looks new.
There are not many traces left by time.
It can be seen that it has been well maintained.
However, Blake checked it several times and could not find anything special about this pocket watch.
It seems that this is an ordinary pocket watch.
Blake touched the glass on his pocket watch.
Note down the time on the watch...ten past twelve.
Except for the ten minutes they just spent talking about old times.
In other words, when he opened the dimensional door and appeared next to Ariana.
It's exactly twelve o'clock noon!
Blake's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
However, he still didn't say anything, but closed the watch again and put it in his pocket.
Well, he knew he was overthinking it, because this was indeed just an ordinary pocket watch.
Since this is the case, then my time travel was definitely not caused by this pocket watch.
He guessed that his future self would travel back to that era and finish doing things.
He gave the pocket watch to Ariana and told her to hide.
She was not allowed to meet anyone from the Dumbledore family.
until today....….
On September 2, 1993, at 12 noon, I waited to be reunited with my family at the Dumbledore Family Cemetery.
Blake silently remembered the time.
He raised his head and looked at Ariana who was talking to the two Dumbledore brothers again.
Suddenly something occurred to me.
In his own style.
It is very possible that your future self is watching you from here!
Blake couldn't help but want to look around with the eyes of truth.
See if you can really see your other self.
But...when this thought came to his mind.
Suddenly there was a throbbing in my heart for no reason...
A feeling of extreme danger!
This is his intuition giving him a warning!
Blake put the thought away rationally.
In time travel, any overlooked detail may have a huge impact on the future!
Blake couldn't figure out whether it would have any big impact if he saw his future self.
So he gave up the idea.
Blake walked up behind Ariana and asked: "Aunt Ariana, can you tell me how I can time travel in the future?"
After hearing Blake's question, Aberforth, who had just learned the whole story from his brother, and Dumbledore himself "were very concerned about this issue.
Ariana felt the nervous looks in her two brothers' eyes and couldn't help but smile: "I can't tell you, Blake."
"If I tell you, maybe it will affect your time travel."
"However, you don't have to worry. In the future, you will tell me if you ask me this question.
"He asked me to tell you something, 'Let everything take its course.
Blake said: "You mean, don't do anything...just let nature take its course?"
Ariana nodded, "Yes. Don't go out of your way to do anything. Just let everything take its course.
Then, she said to her two brothers who looked concerned, "I know you are worried about Blake's safety."
"But please don't worry, he is fine, at least when I met him, he didn't encounter any trouble.
"You don't need to do too many other things, just follow... your original plan."
"Those who should go to school should go to school, those who should be principals should be principals, and those who should be bar owners should be bar owners.
The two breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since this is the case, then we can rest assured." Dumbledore said.
Aberforth wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "Ariana, I'm glad you're still alive. You don't know how many tears I've secretly shed for you over the years... Come on, come home with me. "
"...Aberforth, Ariana should return to Godric Valley, our ancestral home." Dumbledore objected.
"Albus! Are you going to fight with me?!" Aberforth looked at Dumbledore angrily.
At that time, it was this old guy and another old lunatic who almost caused Ariana to die.
So, he didn't want Ariana to spend more time with Dumbledore now!
"I'm not trying to argue with you, Aberforth..." Dumbledore took off his wizard hat and said sincerely: "I just want to say that Ariana should go home.
"Go back to the town we are familiar with...you can't let her live in the Pig's Head Bar with you.
Aberforth said angrily: "What's wrong with us...
But when he thought of the messy living area behind his bar, his voice weakened involuntarily.
My own doghouse... I'm really not confident...
"Aberforth... Now that Ariana is fine, I was wondering if the grudge between us could be resolved?" Dumbledore said seriously.
"Oh? Are you trying to ask for my forgiveness?" Aberforth said in a sinister tone.
"If you want to think so...sigh...I actually mean that.
"What happened in the past was indeed my fault... Aberforth, I was too young at that time... and almost made an irreparable mistake."
"You see, I have been suffering from this mistake for decades, and I have received the punishment I deserve."
"Now I am just a lonely old man."
.....So, can you...can you forgive me?"
Dumbledore apologized sincerely to his brother.
The loss and recovery of his sister completely touched the emotions in his heart that he had hidden for many years from his family.
In fact, he has always been afraid of loneliness and longed for family affection.
He once told Harry that when he looked into the Mirror of Erised, he would see himself holding thick wool socks.
But in fact, that is a lie!
Dumbledore saw different contents in the Mirror of Erised at two different time periods.
Decades ago, he would see Grindelwald in the Mirror of Erised.
And after Grindelwald was sent to Nurmengard Prison by his own hands.
What he saw in the magic mirror became his family that had long been buried deep in his memory.
Family has long become what he desires most, which is why he values Blake so much.
And now, Blake's journey through time has helped him gain an opportunity.
An opportunity for him to make up for his family again!
How could we not grasp it well?
Although Dumbledore's expression looked sincere, Aberforth still looked angry.
Yes, this is an old grudge that has been going on for decades. How could it be forgiven so easily?
"Aberforth...just forgive Albus..." Ariana gently took Aberforth's hand.
Aberforth glanced at Ariana, and the ice in his eyes slowly melted.
The root cause of his feud with his brother actually lies with Ariana.
Since Ariana is fine now... she is still begging herself like this...
"I've actually seen how miserable you, old bastard, have been in these decades, huh! I can only say that you deserve this!"
"But since Ariana has said so...then let's forget all these years of grievances..."
Aberforth said through gritted teeth.
"That's great," Ariana said happily.
"Thank you... Aberforth." Dumbledore was also very happy.
"By the way, now that the grudges have been resolved, why don't you go back to live in Godric Valley." Dumbledore suggested.
"Well... let's forget it!" Aberforth was actually a little bit confused about Dumbledore now. "Godric's Valley is too far away from my tavern!"
"I can request a floo line between my home and your tavern."
"You can use Floo powder every day to travel back and forth through the fireplace."
"You know my ability, I can indeed do this."
Dumbledore said quickly.
"You..." Aberforth was speechless.
He really didn't expect that Dumbledore, who had always been upright, would actually "use his power for personal gain" just to make it easier for him to commute to get off work.
Ariana pulled Aberforth's sleeve, "Brother, it would be a bit rude if you refuse again."
Blake paused slightly after listening to this sentence.
This sentence is very familiar, so familiar that it seems like something he would only say.
Blake secretly guessed that her future self must have spent a long time with this Aunt Ariana.
This makes what Ariana says sound very similar to her own style...
Blake is still wondering why he spent so long with Ariana.
Dumbledore over there had already given Aberforth a big hug.
Although Aberforth was not used to being hugged by a big man.
But it's just that my hands and feet are stiff.
He didn't push Dumbledore away after all.
When Blake returned to Hogwarts, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
However, before he could catch his breath, Professor McGonagall dragged him to the office.
Then, he realized that he had left too quickly in the morning and hadn't gotten the class schedule yet.
So...he "accidentally" missed two herbal medicine classes and two transfiguration classes...
But fortunately, Blake is sharp-tongued.
Move Dumbledore out before Professor McGonagall can use his ultimate move of deducting points and imposing confinement.
He bluntly said that he was going to assist Dumbledore on something.
He couldn't say what exactly he had done.
If Professor McGonagall wanted to know what was going on, he would have to ask Bullydo himself.
He was too lazy to make it up anyway.
Then, Professor McGonagall released Blake with hesitation.
After Blake came out, he quickly ran to Professor Sprout's calendar office.
I told this story to my dean as well.
However, Professor Sprout didn't say anything.
After all, in her eyes, Blake has always been a smart and capable good student!
Unless there are special circumstances, you will never be absent from class!
(Snape: He doesn’t miss school? You look me in the eyes and say it again?)
Professor Sprout just asked Blake to promise to find a way to tell him if this happens again.
She saw if she could help or something, and then asked Blake to go eat.
Blake walked out of the dean's office and sighed softly.
Or does my own dean care about people?
Blake touched his stomach and realized that he was indeed a little hungry.
It was a busy day today. In addition to being the door opener, he also cleaned an empty room for his Aunt Ariana and Uncle Aberforth...
Good guy, three adults are chatting in the living room, and he is left to do all the work!
This is still
Ariana mentioned it herself...
She and her two brothers had much to talk about.
Then the important task of cleaning the room was given to Blake...
With three votes in favor and one vote against.
Blake had to go and clean up Ariana and Aberforth's room.
Then she made a lot of requests for her room... and then asked Blake to go to 733 - Transformation according to the requirements.
In view of Blake's superb transfiguration, Dumbledore and the others neither objected nor felt anything wrong.
Blake has reasonable grounds to suspect that his future self must have done something to Aunt Ariana...
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to torment herself like this.
Where has poor Blake ever done anything like this?
In desperation, Blake had to urgently call two professionals, Dobby and Baker, the house elves, for help.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to come back now.
Now that I think about it, he hasn't had lunch yet...
That old man Dumbledore...forgot about his sister after he had one!
Blake muttered for a while and soon arrived at the auditorium.
At this time, many students were already dining.
Blake headed straight for Hufflepuff's long table.
He didn't even notice Hermione's confused eyes on the long table next to her.
He sat down and started ordering right away.
Blake now feels like he can eat a cow!
The Gryffindor long table and the Hufflepuff long table are actually right next to each other.
So Hermione, who had already eaten, quickly changed her position and sat behind Blake.
She put down her book, turned to Blake who was eating so much, and whispered:
"You missed all your classes today!"
"Professor McGonagall is almost furious!"
"No one has ever dared to skip her class!"
"What on earth did you do?"
Blake turned around, holding a chicken drumstick in each hand, stuffing it into his mouth and gnawing on it.
His cheekbones bulged and he said a little vaguely: "This is a secret. Hermione, I can't tell you."
Hermione was a little unhappy.
"Hmph...just don't tell me!"
"Anyway, it's your Hufflepuff points that will be deducted!"
Blake shook his head. There was still food in his mouth, and his words were still unclear.
"No points will be deducted. I have already explained it clearly to Professor McGonagall."
Hermione tapped Blake on the shoulder with her book.
"Can you stop just eating?"
Blake glanced at Hermione helplessly.
"Then can you let me eat before you ask me questions..."
"It's meal time now..."
"I haven't eaten all day today.
Hermione was a little angry at first, but she heard him say he hadn't eaten all day.
Her anger suddenly dissipated, and she even felt a little distressed.
"What's going on... actually makes you unable to even take care of food.
It would have been absolutely impossible for Blake to miss a meal before!
Seeing that Blake was about to speak again, Hermione quickly waved her hands and said: "Forget it, you can talk about it after eating.
She grabbed a glass of pumpkin juice and handed it to Blake [then turned back to her book.
