Chapter 856: haven't seen you for a long time
Chapter 856 Long time no see
Twelve Grimmauld Place.
Because everyone had gone to Lupin's wedding, there was currently no one here, but Kyle knew that it would not be long before Mrs. Weasley and Sirius would come back, so he did not go in rashly, but helped him Dumbledore came to a nearby alley.
Dumbledore was in a very bad state at this time, he had no strength at all, and it was only thanks to Kyle's support that he didn't fall. However, his expression was very indifferent, as if he didn't care at all.
"How are you, Professor." Kyle took out a bottle of vitality tonic potion, and Dumbledore finally regained some strength after drinking it.
"I originally wanted to try to see if I could kill Tom directly, but I still thought too highly of myself."
Dumbledore stood up unsteadily, "The potion Nico gave me only temporarily suppressed the effect of time repulsion. In my current state, it is difficult to release the magic that can kill Tom."
"It doesn't matter, this is good." Kyle said, "And you can't kill the mysterious man. I have seen him before."
"That's why I feel sorry." Dumbledore said, looking at his surroundings.
"Grimmauld Place, why did you bring me here? You can't appear in front of them now. It's better to go somewhere else.
"I suggest going to Nico's Manor, or the Pig's Head Bar."
"Fox is thinking the same thing as you." Kyle said with a smile: "After it saved people, it threw them into the Hog's Head Bar. At that time, Boss Aberforth thought you were dead."
"He must be very happy." Dumbledore's eyes darkened.
"No, on the contrary, he cares about you." Kyle said, "Not only did he provide a safe place for everyone, but he also personally sent you here to find out more about you."
"Oh, look, he's here."
Following the direction of Kyle's finger, Dumbledore saw Aberforth apparating over. He was also carrying two people, Mrs. Weasley and Sirius.
It's just that the two of them were really not in a good condition. Their faces were pale, and they lay on the ground as soon as they landed, looking like they would vomit until the end of time.
"What happened to them?" Dumbledore asked confused.
"Professor, have you forgotten what I just said?" Kyle whispered: "They were rescued by Fox."
"oh!"
Dumbledore reacted instantly. It was no wonder that he was apparated by the phoenix.
I remember when he first tried this way of traveling, he didn't eat anything for the whole day.
That was a really bad memory.
But it was different when this happened to others. Looking at Sirius and Mrs. Weasley... Dumbledore tried hard to suppress the raised corners of his mouth.
No, you can't laugh, it's too rude.
But Kyle didn't have so many scruples, and shrugged his shoulders.
Although I have seen it once before, this time from the perspective of a bystander, the feeling is completely different... Maybe it has something to do with knowing in advance that they are all safe.
Kyle took out his camera and clicked the shutter button under Dumbledore's disbelieving eyes.
"Just recording it." Kyle smiled and said: "Such a scene is rarely seen, isn't it?"
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and his eyes subconsciously fell on the camera.
His intuition told him that there was definitely something terrible in it, so it was best to destroy it directly and use magic to blow up all the negatives.
And this idea is very strong.
Dumbledore didn't know the reason for this, but it was Kyle's thing after all. He had saved himself and Ariana before. It would be too much if he destroyed his things indiscriminately.
Dumbledore could only suppress this impulse and look elsewhere.
"Hide it quickly and don't look around," he reminded.
Because at this time, another Kyle also arrived, and the three of them walked into No. 12 Grimmauld Place together.
"We'd better get out of here as soon as possible." Dumbledore said. "If Alastor comes, his magic eye will probably find us."
"Don't worry, he has other things to do and won't come." Kyle said, in his memory, Alastor Moody did not appear.
"And there's another reason why I'm here."
"what reason."
"It's hard to say now." Kyle shook his head, "Be patient, Professor, you will know soon."
Although Dumbledore was very curious, when Kyle said this, he stopped asking and An Xin waited nearby.
After a while, someone came out of the house.
"I'm going to pick up the others now, and they're all at the Hog's Head," Kyle explained.
"It is indeed a very safe place there." Dumbledore nodded silently.
Although Aberforth had never given Dumbledore a good look for so many years, in his heart he was the most trustworthy person, just like Fox would subconsciously send people there.
The two continued to wait.
"Oh, right." Kyle suddenly thought of something and said, "Professor, when I was rescuing people, I also bought some drinks and spirits to help them adapt to the discomfort caused by Fox faster."
"You are right," Dumbledore said. "Strong liquor is indeed a good choice."
"But Aberforth wouldn't sell it to me." Kyle continued: "I got some after I reported your name."
"My name?" Dumbledore looked at Kyle in confusion.
Logically speaking, if his name was Aberforth, he would not sell it... Could it be that his brother has forgiven him?
"Well...that's it..." Kyle said hesitantly, "To be precise, the money for the wine was debited to your account, and it's a little bit more than the market price."
"That's okay." Dumbledore probably understood, but he didn't care.
It was just a few bottles of strong liquor, which he could still afford, and this incident was somewhat related to his willfulness. Due to emotions and reasons, he should pay the money.
"I will make up the money later, you don't have to worry." Dumbledore said calmly.
"That's good." Kyle said, but he was already thinking about finding a place to hide for a while.
He had doubled the price of the wine at that time. Who knows how high the price of each bottle of wine was set by that black-hearted guy Aberforth. The only thing that is certain is that Dumbledore is probably going to get ripped off this time. .
Of course, this will all happen later.
After a while, he and everyone had not returned yet, but Kingsley arrived. He must have just received the news and hurried over from the Ministry of Magic.
Then there was his father, Chris, and a silent man shrouded in a black hood. Kyle remembered that Chris said at the time that the man was entrusted by Diana to see if he was okay.
After seeing this silent man, Dumbledore's whole body froze suddenly. There was no one else in his eyes, he just stared at him blankly.
Seeing this, Kyle also confirmed his guess.
Yes, the silent person at that time must have been Ariana, and the person he met at the door of the Department of Mysteries was also her.
No wonder he always felt that the other party knew him. Kyle thought it was because of Diana, but he didn't expect that they had actually met.
It's just that I didn't know her at that time.
"Professor, please don't be impulsive." Kyle patted Dumbledore's shoulder next to him. "There are many people there now, please be patient and wait." "Don't worry." Dumbledore came back to his senses and said softly. : "I have been waiting for a hundred years, and this is the time."
Even though he said this, Kyle could still hear the desire and anxiety in his trembling voice.
Yes, although they had just met not long ago, when Dumbledore's memory came back, his longing and regret for his sister also came back together. The emotional gap of nearly a hundred years cannot be filled by a brief reunion. of.
Dumbledore must have wanted to see Ariana at all costs, to talk to her, and to apologize to her...
"Wait a minute, Professor..." Kyle said again.
Because others finally arrived, a large group of people holding a door key together appeared out of thin air next to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.
Kyle saw Chris walking over and talking to himself...
Dumbledore became more and more eager, and Kyle could even feel the arm he was holding begin to struggle with increasing strength.
At this time, the silent man wearing a hood seemed to sense something and turned his head suddenly this way.
Almost subconsciously, Dumbledore shrank and hid himself behind the wall.
"Professor, what are you doing..." Kyle was speechless, "You were so anxious just now, why did you give up at the critical moment?"
"I, I don't know either." Dumbledore pursed his lips, so nervous that he couldn't even speak coherently. "I...I'm just scared..."
"afraid of what?"
"The fear is the same as when I looked at the Mirror of Erised before...it was so close before my eyes...and then disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"Is that so? I thought you didn't want to see me." A slightly happy voice came from the side.
Only then did Dumbledore realize that the person who had just spoken was not Kyle. He opened his eyes and saw a very strange, yet extremely familiar face.
"Long time no see, brother Albus."
Tears welled up in his eyes. Dumbledore was crying and laughing, and he really looked like a madman.
"The same goes for you." Ariana turned her head and looked to the other side, "..."
"Shut up, don't say it." The moment she opened her mouth, Kyle was shocked and hurriedly stopped her next words.
"Just call me Kyle, don't add any suffixes."
Although it is unknown what magic the Department of Mysteries used to make Ariana look much younger than Dumbledore and Aberforth, she is already over a hundred years old in terms of age.
If she blurted out "brother" like before, Kyle would feel awkward just thinking about it.
"Suffix...ha, you have a beautiful idea." Ariana chuckled, "You have lied to me for a long time. Do you know how surprised I was when I first saw you? I was even two years old. I just learned your name years ago.”
"Why, the people from the Department of Mysteries didn't tell you the truth?" Kyle asked confused.
As for the name issue, he has been deliberately hiding it since he returned to the past, for fear of what impact it would have on the future.
It can be said that even Coldport, who often drank with him, didn't know Kyle's name. He did ask, more than once, but every time Kyle would fool him with other topics, or casually. Think of a more general title, such as friend, traveler, etc.
"The truth? Do you think they will tell me?" Ariana said: "For an Obscurial, any stimulus may cause the Obscurus in his body to explode.
Let's put it this way, after I came to the Department of Mysteries, they chose to hide the memories of my youth. Even I must admit that this is the best way, otherwise I will definitely miss him too much and cause Obscurus to explode. "
"But you know it now." Kyle looked at her and asked curiously: "Does this mean that you can already perfectly control Obscurus...
“Can you tell me what it’s like to use the Obscurus to release magic?
"Do you need to recite a spell? Do you need a wand? Or should you just throw the Obscurus in your opponent's face?"
The more Ariana listened, the more ugly her face became. What did it mean to throw Mogu Ran in the face of her opponent? Inexplicably, the gentle figure deep in her memory gradually faded away.
But she didn't think it was that strange, or she had already had such a premonition.
Think about it, what kind of person could be a person who took her into someone else's school and washed her face in the magic fountain that the other person valued so much.
It's just that that memory was so beautiful that she never wanted to think about it too much, but now, the memory and reality overlap, and the filter from her childhood is shattered on the ground.
But this is the real Kyle.
Just like what Diana said about Kyle... Kyle may have done all the things those people in Azkaban have done, but you'll never see him there.
Is this a good evaluation? In a sense, it is good, but it also shows that he cannot be the Kyle in Ariana's memory.
"What do you think?" Ariana said angrily, "How about you guess how the Obscurial uses magic, or... you can also experience it for yourself. I am very willing to satisfy your curiosity."
Kyle pouted.
He didn't want to guess, let alone get beaten.
Well, as the child grows older, not only does it become harder to use formulaic words, but she also seems to have a little more violent tendencies... Ariana is still as cute as she was when she was a child, answering all questions.
Tsk, something is wrong, this sentence also feels weird.
"Um…"
"you…"
"Then what..."
While Kyle and Ariana were talking, Dumbledore kept winking and making unnecessary noises from time to time. He looked like a peacock trying to attract others' attention.
Kyle's hand itched again, so he quickly took out his camera and clicked a picture at him.
"Okay then, you can chat for as long as you want, but I suggest you move to another place. Muggles will still pass by here occasionally."
Kyle put away the camera calmly, "There will be nothing to do next. I am going to go to Diagon Alley for a walk. I will also stay in the Leaky Cauldron for a while... I may also go to Newt's place, if there is anything important. If so, just ask Fox to find me.”
The brother and sister met again after a hundred years, and Kyle wisely did not disturb them again.
And he has a lot to do now.
First of all, he was short of money. He spent more than half of the money he had saved before, and threw the rest to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary. Now he only had a pitiful few hundred Galleons on him.
Almost worse than Ron... Well, okay, he is still slightly richer than Ron, but a few hundred galleons are not enough for what, he can't even buy a broom.
Kyle was panicking. He had to find a way to make his wallet bulge again...at least he had to dye Norbert's lair gold again. The gray color now was too ugly.
In addition, the two dragon eggs also need to be dealt with as soon as possible. I don’t know if it was because of the time turner, but there was sudden movement in the two dragon eggs, which made Norbert, who was responsible for taking care of them, confused. force.
Yes, Norbert is a female dragon, but according to the age of the fire dragon, she can only be regarded as an underage female dragon and has no experience in hatching dragon eggs.
The main reason why I gave the dragon eggs to it was because I had no other choice. I couldn't give it to Lu Wei. That idiot's brain was not much bigger than a walnut. Stop giving the dragon eggs as a snack.
There is also the Poison Leopard... The Peruvian Poison Tooth Dragon can be brought to it, but the problem is that Kyle does not have this species. Besides, the Poison Leopard and the Cat Leopard are viviparous, and it is impossible to take care of the dragon eggs.
After all this calculation, only Norbert, who is also a fire dragon, is the most suitable. Although he was reluctant, he reluctantly took over the job with Kyle's kind words and gave the egg a hot bath with dragon flames on time. .
