Chapter 285 Meeting Aurelius Again

On the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, in front of the principal's office.

"Pile of cockroaches?"

"Sizzling Bee Candy?"

"Toffee?"

"Grindelwald?"

"Gellert Grindelwald?"

"Dumbledore?"

"Uh... crushed almond ice cream?"

The gargoyle finally couldn't wait any longer. Its terrifying face twisted strangely and made a low muffled sound: "It's been ten minutes! Let me ask you, are you ready to name all the desserts and snacks? Mr. Principal, tell me everything that is relevant to you?"

Sean, who was leaning against the wall, licked the crushed almond ice cream in his hand: "Actually, there's not much left. British desserts are better than delicacies, but not much better."

Gargoyle: "But this is the password! No, no, no."

"Hmm...Kribiki wizard shortbread cookies?" Sean blinked.

The gargoyle didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Hey, man, I know. You can contact the principal. Why don't you inform Professor Dumbledore for me? You said that such a big principal's office doesn't even have a doorbell."

The gargoyle remained motionless, becoming like a stone statue again.

It looked like there was nothing he could do... Sean ate the last bit of the cone, spent some time with the gargoyle, and finally left in frustration.

Why is Dumbledore avoiding me...

Seeing that the two old men were acting, Sean wanted to talk to the principal, but he was nowhere to be seen in the castle, and he couldn't guess the password to the principal's office, which was always easy to guess.

A somewhat depressed Sean walked towards the end of the corridor. There was an open-air balcony, but few people usually came there.

Hermione and Daisy, who had been stuck with him, ran to the Room of Requirement. The two of them had almost completed the initial process of Animagus, but because of the holiday, the first step could not be started yet, but the two of them had already They began to think about their Animagus form - they recently found an ancient book in the Room of Requirement that introduced the Animagus form of the medieval wizard.

Walking to the balcony, there were a lot of little people flying around on the Quidditch pitch in the distance, and the students were enjoying the last entertainment time of the school.

The warm breeze blew on his face, and Sean stretched a lot.

The weather has been wonderful lately.

Looking across the Quidditch pitch, Sean could vaguely see the farthest building, which was Hogsmeade, the only village in the UK that was full of wizards.

This was created by Hangis of Woodcroft. Hogwarts students are allowed to travel here on weekends, but only third-year students and above with permission from their parents or other guardians.

Of course, Sean didn't have to worry about his parents not being able to sign, but he never quite understood why a guardian's signature was required before going to a wizarding village.

This is not a life and death agreement.

He pressed his hands on the railing and looked lazily into the distance, then narrowed his eyes.

Is there something dark emerging from the sky above Hogsmeade?

The black thing kept jumping up and flew to a position where even the students riding the broomsticks couldn't see it. It changed direction and flew towards Hogwarts.

The thing was extremely fast, and when Sean squinted his eyes to observe, it was already approaching the castle quickly.

And Sean finally saw what the thing looked like, a black, oily substance.

Obscurus... no, it should be Obscurus.

The Obscurus obviously came for the eighth floor, and he also saw Sean on the balcony.

"Hey Sean, long time no see." A familiar voice sounded.

Sean raised the corner of his mouth and waved his hand at the black oil.

Obscurus flew to the balcony and began to twist and deform as it fell. An old man with a beard appeared next to Sean.

Aurelius Dumbledore.

"Hello, Mr. Dumbledore, long time no see." Sean greeted.

Aurelius waved his hand: "Just call me Aurel. I hate talking about seniority the most, and you know, Dumbledore refers to my great uncle."

"Okay, Orrick...wait a minute," Sean was stunned for a moment, "Uncle, is Dumbledore your uncle?"

Aurelius looked at him doubtfully: "Do I look much older than him?"

"No, I mean, I..." Sean became a little incoherent.

He still remembered a letter Dumbledore sent him after his trip to Godric's Hollow, which mentioned Dumbledore's past.

Dumbledore's sister Ariana is an Obscurus. In the conflict between Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Aberforth, Ariana was unfortunately affected, and Dumbledore and Grindelwald also broke up for a long time.

In order to save his sister, Dumbledore tried the most taboo technique in the field of alchemy-human body refining.

As a result, Ariana's soul became entangled with the Phoenix, and a soul began to be naturally born in the new body created by alchemy. Dumbledore mentioned that he was separated from the new child, and Sean always believed that Aurelius was the new soul.

But now, uncle?

Aurelius suddenly showed a clear expression: "Oh, oh, I thought Albus told you. But it is understandable that he has always had a bad relationship with my bad-tempered father."

"……ha?"

Aurelius didn't seem to mind revealing the Dumbledore family's family affairs. He leaned casually on the railing and said with a smile: "Because of some past events, Albus never mentioned his family to the outside world. Also, because of that incident , my father’s relationship with him has always been very stiff. However, it’s been so long, family is the most important thing, isn’t it?”

"Uh, Orrick, you mean, you are Professor Dumbledore's nephew?" Sean's mouth opened wide.

Aurelius nodded: "My father's name is Aberforth Dumbledore, who is the younger brother of your principal. However, the relationship between the two brothers has never been good."

He spread his hands and said, "But my father is also a bastard. To be honest, time has driven away hatred. I only started talking to him in the past few years."

Sean opened his mouth, his brain almost shut down because of the complicated information.

Aurelius' left hand turned into black particles, and the particles lifted up Sean's chin like a hand.

"I thought you were very receptive," he said with a smile. "Is this news shocking?"

"It's so shocking..."

Aurelius's eyes flashed with vicissitudes of life, and he turned around and looked into the distance: "Time can really smooth out a lot of things."

Looking at the other party's appearance, Sean pursed his lips. The timeline of this world began to change from the time of the Grindelwald Paris Conference.

In other words, the old man in front of him named Aurelius, who used to be called Credence, still experienced a painful and tortured childhood.

Life is not easy...

Sean followed Aurelius's example and leaned against the railing and sighed.

The old man turned his head and smiled softly: "You shouldn't learn anything from me. How old are you?"

Sean chuckled. He didn't know if it was because Obscurus was living in the same body, but he always felt a sense of affinity towards Aurelius.

He simply let go: "Can you tell me about your past? Sir... Oh, Orui."

Aurelius laughed and said: "Actually, it's just such shabby things. My father was not willing to take responsibility when he was young. I drifted overseas when I was a baby, and then due to some unforeseen circumstances... Because of the wrong accident, I even became a different person - I lived under another name for the first half of my life."

"Then what?" Even though he knew the plot, Sean was still very curious.

Aurelius spread his hands with a calm expression on his face: "Then, I became an Obscurus after a unhappy childhood. At that time, I had nothing but unbridled power and wanted everything. I took the wrong path. , I have also lost a lot, but now, I am still living well.”

Sean held his head helplessly: "Isn't it the same as saying nothing?"

Aurelius smiled happily: "Don't you just want to get some news about Albus and Gellert from me? Again, Sean, they have to tell you in person."

"Why?" Sean was a little confused.

The old man imitated Dumbledore and blinked at him: "Without personal experience, you will never know how complicated the thoughts of those two people are. Maybe it's just an ordinary sentence that contains deep meaning, maybe it's just a common action. There are also follow-up intentions. Trying to see through them? Believe me, that is too difficult. In order to ensure that you will not misunderstand my message and cause accidents, it is better for me to say less - in fact, I can't figure it out myself. The intention of thinking.”

"So, Orui, the two of them?" Sean still didn't give up.

"Another break?" Aurelius pursed his lips, "I don't know, well, who knows?"

Sean sighed helplessly, Dumbledore's family all have the same virtues.

Aurelius looked into the distance and pointed at Hogsmeade: "You can go to Hogsmeade next year, right? There is a Pig's Head Bar there, and the owner is my father. Maybe you two can talk - He always had a bad relationship with Albus anyway."

"What about you, I mean, your father, um, was not very mature when he was young..."

"Well, yes, he is very irresponsible, but he should be considered a good person, right? At least I won't get angry when talking to him now, and I also live with him at his place. I always have to treat the landlord Be polite?"

Sean smiled: "Ms. Nagini?"

Aurelius smiled happily: "Yes, in the past year, her blood curse has been very stable. Maybe it won't be long before she can go out for a walk - Nagini often mentioned you, she Your help is greatly appreciated."

"Oh, it's all little things."

Aurelius turned around, his habitually stooped back slightly straightened, with a gentle smile on his face: "It is precisely because I have experienced so much suffering that I cherish the present more. I hope we all can That’s right, Sean.”

"Yes, Orui." Sean shook hands with the old man heavily.

Suddenly, he felt a strange wave coming from the vicissitudes of his hand.

It seemed to be a wonderful way of operating magic, like a notebook recording the veins of magic.

"Orrick?" Sean was stunned.

The old man smiled slightly: "Everyone is attracted by silence. Well, as a half-pioneer, these experiences may be useful to you."

Sean only felt it slightly, and he was surprised to find that just by understanding some experiences, the Obscurus in his body became more active.

Aurelius waved his hand at him: "See you next time with Nagini. Best wishes, my friend."

After saying that, he walked towards the castle, leaving only his back.

Sean gently clenched the palm of his left hand, and black particles belonging to the Obscurus emerged from the palm. It changed shape according to Sean's thoughts, and he could even adjust the magic output of the Obscurus.

This experience is truly a gift...

I ran to the eighth floor and didn't see Dumbledore, but saw Aurelius.

Not only did he learn that Orrick was Dumbledore's nephew, he also received a gift package for controlling Obscurus.

Sean raised his eyebrows and smiled, this time he really didn't run in vain.

After practicing controlling Silence for a while according to Aurelius' experience, Sean thought of another thing.

Aurelius is actually the son of Aberforth, so who is the alchemist created by Dumbledore?

Dumbledore said he was separated from the newborn. Does that mean he hasn't been found yet?

After thinking about it for a while, Sean finally gave up.

Let's wait for Dumbledore to figure out the truth himself...

Sean had a hunch that Dumbledore was planning something big, and what role did Grindelwald play in this?

The world of adults is too troublesome... The second-year student Sean, who has a guilt that can destroy the world and can transform into a fire dragon at will, has adopted a bunch of xxxx and xxxxx level magical animals, and is about to adopt a basilisk, is so... thought.

Hey, I'll be in third grade next year, but I'm still a kid... He walked away slowly.

…

In the evening, with expectant eyes, Sean waited for his package.

Dozens of owls were carrying a huge wooden box, and his coogu stood on top of the box, only flapping his wings symbolically when he was bored.

Who did you learn this lazy virtue from... Sean stroked Gugu's shiny feathers, and then took off the letter from its paw.

"Dear Sean:"

"Your mother and sister and I are looking forward to your return, but you have posed a problem for me this time."

"Of course, a father never lets his pride down. According to your request, I asked someone to make these glasses. I hope you can use them - but, what are such big glasses used for? There are people in the wizarding world A giant with a snake head? If so, then your communication skills amaze me."

"The drawings are still there, and workers can find them at any time. If improvements are needed, they will be done by you when you come back during the summer vacation. Your mother has cleaned your room herself, and your favorite food has been prepared - Ella asked me to add In a word, she also helped, haha, your sister is getting cuter and cuter."

"When you come back, I love your father, mother and Ella."

The corners of Sean's mouth raised unconsciously.
