Chapter 653
The Hog's Head Pub.
Aberforth was standing behind the counter, holding a clean towel and carefully wiping the cup in his hand.
He didn't stop until the cup was polished to a bright shine.
When Aberforth picked up another cup...
"Ding-ling-ling!"
The door of the bar suddenly opened.
"It's closed. Come back tomorrow if you want to drink..."
Aberforth said without raising his head.
"But... I feel very thirsty now." The man said regretfully.
Aberforth raised his head suddenly, not even noticing that the glass in his hand fell to the ground.
"Pah!" The glass did not fall to the ground, but was firmly caught by a hand.
"Dunk!" The cup was put back on the table.
"A cup of butterbeer, thank you..."
"Ah! You little brat! Are you finally willing to come back?!" Aberforth threw down his towel, ran out from the counter, and hugged Black tightly.
"Uh... Uncle Aberforth, if possible, I actually hope that the first hug after returning is with a good girl..."
"Haha! You little brat! Still the same as before!" Aberforth rubbed Black's head until his light golden hair was rubbed into a chicken coop, and then let go of Black.
"You suddenly disappeared for two and a half years, and I don't know how many girls are heartbroken for you!"
While Aberforth was talking, he took a clean cup from the counter and poured a full cup of butterbeer for Black.
Black took the beer and took a sip, then looked at Aberforth in surprise.
"Something is wrong... I felt something was wrong when I first came here."
"What's wrong?"
"Why is the Hog's Head so clean now, and... your butterbeer is so fresh!"
Black said in surprise.
"What are you talking about? My beer is always fresh!" Aberforth said with a guilty look.
In Black's impression, the Hog's Head was dirty everywhere.
Not to mention the dirty floor, which seemed to be covered with several layers of dirt, even the cups used by the guests looked unclean.
And the drinks provided by Aberforth were even more outrageous. Others might not notice it, but Black, who had a keen sense of smell, always felt that his drinks exuded a strange smell that was about to expire.
But now... the floor was wiped clean and the table seemed to have been painted a new coat of paint.
The room looked like it had been renovated.
The drinks were fresh, and even the cups looked like new. 820
Blake began to wonder if he had gone wrong in his timeline again, which led to a deviation, causing the unkempt Aberforth to change his temperament and become a mysophobia...
"Ahaha... ever sinceLast time, I came here to drink the wine, and then ... After drinking a cockroach in my drink, my pig head bar had to become like this. It was before ... And, the glass of wine was originally intended to wait for Albus, and then sold it as a cockroach pile of wine. I did not expect that Ariana took the bottle of wine ... "| = | Black is speechless for a while, cockroaches pile the wine? | "Oh ... that's really a meal ... I found out at that time that Alianna's skills were not good. Even without the wand, you beat me so hard that I couldn't fight back..."
Of course Ariana is good at fighting. After all, she followed Black as a pirate for two years.
At that time, she didn't use wands to fight with pirates...
Thinking back to that time, Black subconsciously picked up the cup and wanted to take a sip, but paused for a moment and put it down silently.
"Have you completed your... mission?" Aberforth asked meaningfully.
"Almost..." Black shrugged, "Anyway, the finishing work doesn't need to leave this era..."
"That's great! Black!" Aberforth said happily.
He knew the inside story. Since Black said so, there would be no need to embark on dangerous time travel again.
"Did you just come back?"
"Yes, I just came back tonight."
"So you came to me as your first stop? "Aberforth asked curiously.
"No, I went home directly at first, but... there was no one at home. Then I planned to go to Hogwarts to find the old man. I happened to see that the lights were still on in the Hog's Head Bar..."
Aberforth smiled and said, "Just let the old man come by himself."
As he said, he threw a Patronus Charm in the direction of Hogwarts.
"When you are not at home, no one wants to stay at home... even if it is summer vacation now. Because everyone is worried about you..."
Aberforth sighed and said, "After all, everyone knows that time travel is full of dangers... and it is always easy to miss someone at home. ”
“Then, Dumbledore continued to stay in Hogwarts, and he rarely went home even during the summer vacation…”
Aberforth then told Black where everyone in the family had gone.
Ariana was still elusive as usual, and seemed to be even busier than Dumbledore.
Rebecca Black moved back to Sirius’s house.
And this little girl was very hardworking. Even during the vacation, she still followed her cousin Regulus to learn magic skills.
Nagini took advantage of the vacation to embark on a trip around the worldJourney.
This is what she has always wanted to do but has not had time to do, and now she has finally put it into action.
"Ding-ling-ling!"
The door of the bar was opened again.
A tall and thin figure strode in from the outside.
"Professor..." Black stood up.
Dumbledore put his hands on Black's shoulders, and his blue eyes carefully looked at Black's face.
"You are thinner... and darker. But now you look like a good guy."
Dumbledore let go of his hand and breathed a sigh of relief, "Welcome back, Black..."
Since Black was seen in this place, it proved that Black's journey should be considered complete.
He knew that Black must have suffered a lot over the years...
This can be seen in Black's eyes.
Just now, he saw some vicissitudes in Black's eyes that should not belong to this age.
Perhaps, in his eyes, Black has only been away for two and a half years, but for Black, he may have been away for many years...
Thinking of this, Dumbledore couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Next, Black told the Dumbledore brothers about his experience of traveling through time over the years.
Dumbledore and the others were people he trusted, so Black didn't hide anything.
Black started from being caught off guard by Delphi and being dragged into the time tunnel. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
When he heard that the first thing Black did when he returned to that era was to change his appearance, Dumbledore nodded in agreement.
"It's always good to be cautious when you come to an unknown era." Dumbledore said.
Then, Black talked about hitting an old man, who turned out to be Merlin...
Then, Black talked about Merlin's ideals, and being dragged to the tower by Merlin...
"I didn't expect that the tower was founded with such a great ideal at the beginning. Moreover, its founder was Merlin..."
Dumbledore sighed, thinking that such an organization that should have been extremely great later became a terrorist organization, and Dumbledore felt very sorry.
"Albus, can you stop interrupting! Black, please continue." Aberforth was very dissatisfied with Dumbledore's frequent interruptions.
Dumbledore smiled helplessly and picked up a bottle of wine from the side.
After a careful look, he found no small creatures like cockroaches in the bottle, so he poured himself a glass of wine with confidence...
Then, Blake told about how he was Delphi's teacher during Merlin's time and helped Merlin build the tower...
Dumbledore and Aberforth were silent for a while.
Unexpectedly, this tower that was so difficult before was not only built by Blake himself, but also Delphi... This towerThe masters of the tower were all brought up by Black.
Even the means she used to control the tower came from Black...
"I'm sorry... I know it's wrong, but... if I don't do this, history will change. I can only..." Black said guiltily.
"How can you be blamed for this? We all know the struggle and entanglement in your heart. Believe me, no one can do better than you."
"Besides, after this incident, you also got a good example, didn't you?"
"You can clearly see from this incident how much harm can be done when the use of strength and power goes astray."
Dumbledore did not blame Black for what he did, but used this incident to warn Black again.
Black sighed, "Because of me, the development of the wizarding world has stagnated, and a terrorist organization has been born that has left its legacy for hundreds of years. I... I feel sad every time I think about it."
"At least you are still here, and your knowledge is still in your mind. Sometimes, paying some price to save yourself is also a sacrifice. Especially when your existence is particularly important." Dumbledore continued.
"Let the development of the wizarding world start again. Isn't it too late to start now? Black, you are not an ordinary wizard."
"And... now, in this era, you are no longer fighting alone. All of us, all wizards, will stand by you."
Now, after going through so much, Black has enough ability and knowledge to do something for the wizarding world.
And, with Black's exaggerated ability, this era is destined to be Black's era.
Dumbledore was very glad that Black had indeed withstood the erosion of power and authority.
If it were Tom...even if he only had half of Black's knowledge, the whole world would be at his feet now.
After chatting for a while about what happened in the Merlin era, Black drank the butter beer in the cup in one gulp.
"Finally...in the Merlin era, I...I made a mistake, Professor...a big mistake..." Black suddenly became uneasy.
"What mistake?" Dumbledore and Aberforth looked at Black again.
Black's lips moved, and then he subconsciously picked up the cup, but found that he had just finished the wine in the cup...
"If...it's too difficult to say, there's actually no need to tell us." Dumbledore said very considerately.
Aberforth also agreed with Dumbledore this time. Black had experienced so much and was already very strong.
No one else could do better than him, or have the same bottom line as him.
After all, in Merlin's time, even those killed by Blake were all unforgivable villains...
So,Even if Black did make a big mistake, Aberforth felt that no one should blame him.
The environment of that era was too special... Moreover, it was such a precarious time travel. There is no doubt that Black must have done a lot of things he didn't want to do.
"No... I have to say it sooner or later..." Black put down the cup and looked at Dumbledore and Aberforth next to him.
"That... I... I and Delphi... I mean, the Delphi from Merlin's time..." Black took another deep breath, "We have a child."
"Uh..."
Dumbledore and Aberforth were petrified instantly.
"That... I also know that what I did was wrong, but... but it was really strange at that time. If I... if I refused, the timeline would change strangely, so I... I..."
"Ah... I know it's ridiculous, but this prop of mine can indeed predict the changes in the future timeline..."
"This is true, please believe me..."
Black was still explaining in a hurry, but his shoulders were held down by the brothers Dumbledore and Aberforth on the left and right.
"Black, is this true?" Aberforth asked seriously. []
"Uh... of course..." Black replied in a low voice.
Dumbledore said with some sadness: "You said that the child was born in Merlin's time, does that mean that now... it is already..."
"Oh... no, later I met myself from the future, and then the child was taken away by my future self, which means..."
"Aha!" Dumbledore suddenly patted Black's shoulder happily, "So, I really have a grandson!"
"Haha, I knew that this kid is so romantic, he will definitely make our Dumbledore family prosperous again." Aberforth was also very happy.
"Ah?" Black was confused, he thought Dumbledore would be angry, but now it seems that he is not?
Black suspected that they didn't hear him clearly, so he emphasized again: "No...wait...I mean, did you get the point wrong?"
"I just said that I, Delphi Riddle...that is, Voldemort's daughter..."
Dumbledore waved his hand, "That's not important, kid. The things of the previous generation have nothing to do with this generation."
Aberforth also said: "Yes, we think the point should be...you have a child, and our Dumbledore family has one more member. The most important thing is that you will bring him back to this era!"
Black looked dazed, "Then Delphi..."
"I know you can definitely take good care of her, right?" Dumbledore said with a smile.
Aberforth also smiled and said: "Yes...then we won'tWe are concerned, but what we are concerned about is... when are you going to take the child back?"
Dumbledore nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Black was confused when he saw the two old men in front of him...
It turned out that they only wanted to have grandchildren, and as for how their son should place the child's mother and how to explain to his girlfriends, they did not help him find a solution at all!
