Chapter 223 If We Can Meet Again, I Can Bear Any Price...

Snape's ideas were not naive.

The Potions teacher had no idea what he was facing. He just believed that it was impossible for him to get involved in the battle between Peter Pettigrew and Voldemort.

Snape felt that the only thing he could do was...

It was probably while the two Dark Lords were fighting that they instigated Dumbledore to stand behind them and reap the benefits.

Peter Pettigrew didn't seem to care what he thought. He walked slowly towards Snape and patted him gently on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go report to Principal Dumbledore. He and his sister should have already talked about it." Already…”

"besides."

Peter Pettigrew paused for a moment, then suddenly chuckled: "Snape, it's best not to do anything under my watch. It will only make you suffer even more pain..."

Peter Pettigrew stretched out his finger, pointed at his eyes, and then pointed at Snape: "When the New Year comes, Lily's ghost will appear in the school as a gift to you and Harry, that little guy New Year's gift, she will always look at you, I believe you must know that what she hates most is those duplicitous villains..."

"I have other people to meet. Happy Christmas Eve, Snape."

After finishing speaking, Peter Pettigrew smiled and waved his hand, layers of light appeared under his feet, and his figure turned into a ray of light and disappeared in front of Snape.

"..."

Snape watched him leave with gloomy eyes.

Hogwarts School has recorded the emergence of Dark wizards for more than a thousand years, and there has never been a Dark Lord as annoying as Peter Pettigrew, the bastard!

But Snape couldn't resist yet. .

Now he can only follow Peter Pettigrew's instructions to find Dumbledore and report to him the Christmas Eve transaction mentioned by Peter Pettigrew.

Inside the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

Except for the ghosts of Albus Dumbledore and his sister Ariana Dumbledore, all the students, professors and ghosts here have long since left, and everyone has left this place to the pair who met again after a hundred years. Brother and sister.

"Who are you?"

Ariana is just a timid girl who is not of sound mind.

Even if her soul has long been freed from the shackles of the brain, this only prevents her from being stimulated by the brain, but it still cannot add a complete experience to her.

The little girl looked timidly at the bearded Dumbledore, her eyes full of surprise and curiosity, and she subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide.

"Ariana..."

Dumbledore raised his head and stared at his somewhat embarrassed sister, with a hint of confusion gradually appearing in his eyes, as if he was seeing the family in the past through his sister's youthful appearance...

After a long time, the old man's eyes gradually deepened, his lips trembled a little, and he murmured: "I am... Albus... Albus Dumbledore."

no doubt.

This was the saddest time Dumbledore had ever introduced himself.

Things have changed, people have changed, the world has changed, and relatives have not met each other. These are undoubtedly the most painful and sad things in this world...

"Albus?"

Ariana tilted her head in confusion.

"yes…"

Dumbledore nodded heavily, stretched out his palm towards Ariana in the air, and the old voice echoed in the auditorium: "Your brother... Albus Dumbledore... I'm sorry... Ariana... put you It’s too late to get it back…”

"..."

A look of surprise appeared on Ariana's face.

Albus Dumbledore's appearance had changed so much that she couldn't recognize the young and handsome brother at all, and couldn't even find any resemblance to him.

The little girl stepped back, looked at the empty auditorium, and subconsciously asked: "Aberforth...where is Aberforth..."

Compared to the talented Albus Dumbledore, Ariana wanted to meet her other brother Aberforth Dumbledore who had been accompanying and taking care of her.

"I asked him to come see you..."

Dumbledore stretched out his palm towards his sister again and explained softly: "It's been too long, Ariana, we haven't seen each other in nearly a hundred years..."

Parting in life and death.

It is destined that relatives cannot meet each other.

Now it is rare for them to have a chance to meet each other. Although this is caused by Peter Pettigrew's conspiracy, it is really lucky...

"Albus?"

Ariana's voice was a little childish.

The little girl slowly sat down with some hesitation, staring blankly at her old brother, seeing how this brother who had been shining brightly since childhood was already aging...

"yes…"

Dumbledore stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying to stroke her hair, but he could only touch an empty space, because Ariana was just a ghost...

Dumbledore restrained his inner grief, looked at his sister and murmured softly: "Let's go, let's find a place to settle down first, and then write a letter inviting Aberforth to come to Hogwarts for Christmas tomorrow. This time A hundred years of history, I will tell you slowly..."

"..."

Ariana nodded hesitantly and looked at the auditorium curiously: "Is this Hogwarts? This is my first time here..."

Yes.

This was her first time at Hogwarts.

Although this little girl was born into the Dumbledore family and was born with magic in her body, it was a pity that she did not wait until she was eleven years old, because some Muggle boys had a mental breakdown and her magic went out of control, completely losing the ability to live alone. …

Since then.

Naturally, there is no way to come to Hogwarts.

Ariana's spirits never improved until the day she died in the conflict at Godric's Hollow.

Even though she is now in a ghost state, the psychological trauma seems to have not been healed. It is just because the ghost cannot feel the pain of losing control of her magic power, and has not received any great stimulation. She can still maintain her sanity now...

Just as Dumbledore and Ariana were about to leave the Great Hall, Snape returned in a hurry!

"..."

Ariana hid behind Dumbledore in panic.

Snape didn't pay attention, but walked over quickly and said in a deep voice: "Dumbledore, Peter Pettigrew has appeared... Ariana's ghost is a conspiracy he has arranged for you long ago... He dare not come to see you , let me tell you..."

"Severus!"

Dumbledore's face was solemn. He stopped Snape's movements with a cold voice. There was a hint of indifference in his eyes. He suppressed his emotions and said: "...If there is anything else... we can talk about it later... okay?" "

Now that Ariana's soul has just returned, he doesn't want his sister to become a victim again. This is something the old man absolutely cannot accept...

In fact, Dumbledore had already expected it.

The old man knew very well that the ghost of his sister was sent to Hogwarts by Peter Pettigrew. There must be a quite terrifying conspiracy that would even change the situation of the world.

A dark lord…

How could you be so kind!

However, when Ariana's soul really appeared, when his sister spoke cowardly like a hundred years ago, Dumbledore had to admit one thing...

There’s a price to pay…

It has to be paid.

No matter what conspiracy Peter Pettigrew had, or what deal he wanted to make using his sister's soul, Dumbledore was willing to pay the price...

no more…

Nothing makes him happier than being able to be with his family.

"Severus."

Dumbledore looked at the serious-looking Snape and raised his eyes: "Peter has the Resurrection Stone in his hand. He must have secretly used Lily's soul to blackmail you, right?"

"..."

Snape nodded silently.

This kind of thing...

It was certainly impossible to exceed Dumbledore's expectations.

After all, both Dumbledore and Peter Pettigrew are very aware of his obsession with Lily, and Peter Pettigrew will definitely not let him go as a pawn...

"Let's talk about it later..."

Dumbledore took a deep breath.

With the appearance of the Resurrection Stone, a lot of questions came to mind, which made Dumbledore feel a little breathless. At least Snape in front of him had many problems...

Dumbledore looked at Snape and asked softly: "Severus, please help me find Aberforth first and ask him to help take care of Ariana. Let's talk about Peter's trouble..."

to be honest.

Dumbledore was still a little uncomfortable taking care of his sister.

Now he really needed Aberforth to take care of his sister urgently so that he could concentrate on discussing Peter Pettigrew with Snape.

"good."

Snape nodded slowly.

However, what Dumbledore didn't expect was that Aberforth was also meeting a guest.

There is always a kind of person in this world who likes to maximize profits, and the third generation Dark Lord Peter Pettigrew is undoubtedly this kind of person...
