Chapter 1014 The Meaning of Life
"Where the treasure is, there is the heart."
This is the inscription carved by Albus Dumbledore on the tombstone of his sister Ariana himself. It also contained the irreparable apology he gave to his sister after he woke up.
Aberforth actually didn't know that the reason why his brother Albus wanted to embark on the road of reform with his friend Greenwald was rooted in his sister Arianna.
Due to Ariana's mentally unstable state, the Ministry of Magic feared that she would be unconsciously exposed to Muggle sightings.
At that time, many measures were not perfect. In order to prevent Ariana from violating the "Secrecy Act" suddenly one day, they would definitely send her to St. Mungo's special ward for lifelong house arrest.
And what Ah Busi wanted to do was to overthrow the "Secrecy Act", the high wall erected between Muggles and wizards.
However, I don't know when, his ideas were gradually influenced by Greenwald. Under certain youthful vigor and ambition, their ambitions become more and more broad and extreme.
"We can establish a new order led by wise, powerful wizards and wizards, and rule the world with mercy...including Muggles."
I don't know who said this sentence, but it has indeed become one of their highest goals-just overthrowing the law can no longer satisfy their gradually expanding ambitions.
However, if you want to achieve that level of brilliance, you must stand on top of the world. This big step is not something that can be taken by dreams alone.
They need someone to follow.
When these two wise young wizards realized this, a mantra was born:
"For the greater good."
Unfortunately, I don't know whether to say it is lucky or unlucky.
When the two of them thought of this step just at the door of the house, and were ready to do it with great ambition, Arianna's accidental death was like a cold sharp knife, piercing straight through Albus's hot heart. heart.
Greenwald was gone, and he took with him the phrase that became the mantra of both and eventually became the catchphrase for his tyrannical rampage and his blunders.
Of course, these obviously have nothing to do with Aberforth who lost his sister.
In fact,
The time of his life was almost completely frozen at the moment when he hugged Arianna, who was like a rag doll, and roared the phrase "Aren't you afraid of death?"
He cried, he roared, the blood on his fist mixed into the dust on the ground, he scolded his brother Albus at his sister's funeral, and even broke the bridge of his brother's nose with a punch with his still bandaged hand... …
But he himself understood that the deepest thorn in his heart was his yelling at his sister at home.
Aberforth hated his brother Albus, but I'm afraid he hated himself even more.
...
"Then you are not afraid of death?"
Facing the blond girl outside the bar, Aberforth almost gritted his teeth and asked this sentence - this question that he hugged his sister Ariana back then, but failed to get a response after all.
Because Abufu thought about it, when a girl left her castle alone for someone, what was going on in her mind?
"Of course I'm afraid! I don't want to die—" Luna blinked her eyes, and Aberforth's hands trembled with her pure gaze, "I know, it's dangerous outside...but there are some things that must be done of."
After a short pause, those eyes suddenly became dazed again.
"Do you know?" She said leisurely, "Life itself is meaningless - when my mother died because of a mistake in experimenting with a spell, I thought about it a lot. The moment I put a spell on it and put it in my hand, I seemed to understand that my mother's life was meaningful."
"Because you see, when my mother was persistently studying the spells, my father was always silently supporting her; and until my mother passed away, my father never said that her research was worthless..."
Luna spoke slowly, each word imprinted in Aberforth's heart.
Although with Luna's erratic thinking, he still half understood. But, maybe this is what the sister he never understood had silently thought about?
At the end, Luna finally said:
"So I'm going to find Maca, I can't let him disappear like this - I have to tell him that everything he does must be meaningful and valuable, because even if everyone forgets, I will definitely Remember them well."
"...just like Dad did."
This is probably the first time that Luna has stated her hazy thoughts very clearly.
Back then, Hermione wanted to stop Maca so that he didn't have to work so hard, so she begged Luna to persuade Maca. But Luna decisively rejected her request on the spot.
Now it seems that her thoughts are actually more direct than what she said to Hermione at the time.
"Oh, I think I have to go! See you later!"
Aberforth didn't notice Luna's turning and leaving at the first moment, because his thoughts had already drifted to the moment that he was frozen by himself in the past along with Luna's words.
Yes! Even if Arianna is silent every day, it seems that she only lives in her own world. But sometimes, wouldn't she also feed the sheep with herself and study with Albus?
As the younger sister of the two, she has always supported her two brothers - she hopes that the brothers can live the life they want, instead of being trapped in Godric's Hollow where there is nothing for the rest of their lives .
Even so, she might be imprisoned in St. Mungo's life for this reason, and even lose her life because of it.
"Everyone get out!"
"It's closed tonight, let me go out!"
Aberforth came out from behind the bar, roared loudly, and rushed straight out of the bar door. Just like the younger sister Arianna, who decisively rushed out of the false harbor called home.
He didn't notice that the moment he rushed out of the door, the girl in the magic portrait showed a warm smile that was rarely seen in decades through the half-closed door in the bar.
...
Moments later, central London.
Luna walked briskly, walking under the streetlights. And not far behind her, Aberforth followed unhurriedly, quietly watching the little figure in front of her.
Arianna and Luna are undoubtedly two very different girls. But in Aberforth's eyes, there was an indescribable connection between the two of them.
After being dazed for a while, Aberforth hurried two more steps and came to Luna's side.
"Be careful, the danger may be hidden in a certain shadow!"
If he was the usual one, he would never say such concerned words. But after all, it was impossible for him to be a bodyguard beside a little girl before tonight, so what is he still talking about now?
But it is worth mentioning that, as far as a bodyguard is concerned, Aberforth can actually be said to be quite suitable.
As the younger brother of that great wizard, although he was completely inferior to his older brother's talent and strength, his inexplicably strong physique combined with his impressive magical ability could be called a strengthened version of Hagrid.
Coupled with his aggressive and fiery temper since he was young, at least Luna obviously had another layer of strong protection along the way.
"Um... hey, little girl!"
Aberforth called Luna, but he didn't realize until now that he didn't seem to know the little girl's name.
However, with his informal character, he quickly ignored this trivial matter.
"You've been gone for ten minutes, right? So, do you have any way to find that boy McLean? Or are you going to wander around like this?"
"Huh?" Luna turned her face to the side, and said without thinking, "Oh, there are some! Just follow me!"
Aberforth was speechless when he heard the words:
"Don't just answer 'yes', what can you do? Tell me! To be honest, the relationship between that kid and me is not bad. If you tell me, I can help, right?"
"this……"
Hearing what he said, Luna couldn't help twisting her mouth in embarrassment.
"I don't know how to put it... Well, feel it, can you see these small things around you? It's like a grain of dust, each feeling is different..."
"A speck of dust? What?" Aberforth stared, looking around suspiciously.
"It's just that once you use the magic spell, they will move by themselves..." Luna said and gestured wildly, but shook her head after a while and said, "I can't say, anyway, it's like this—if there is something Strange places, I'll find out."
"what?"
Aberforth didn't know, of course, but he would be surprised if Maca was here.
Because what Luna saw was undoubtedly the free magic power in the air. And in order to sense them back then, he had suffered a lot.
However, I don't know what happened to Luna, but I can feel it all of a sudden.
But in fact, she was quite pure in spirit, but she was born with more talent in this area than other wizards.
What's more, when Hermione, Harry, Neville... and even Ron are working tirelessly, her low-key efforts may only be noticed by Hermione, who often pays attention to her.
"'The purity of the heart adds to the purity of the spirit, and the root of the curse comes from it'," Luna said softly, "Not long ago, I saw it on the school map, you can try it too."
Aberforth blinked his eyes twice in a daze, not knowing what to say at all, so he could only continue walking forward with Luna while secretly puzzled.
The two figures, one big and one small, turned around a street corner not long after, and sank into the other side without street lights.
