Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard Chapter 844

Chapter 844: Persuading Ariana

"boom!"

Kyle stood outside the door and watched as the door to Potter's Potion Shop was mercilessly closed.

But soon the door was opened again, Cord threw a large package out, and then closed the door forcefully again.

Dumbledore stood outside, watching all this with confusion.

"Nothing, I just bought something." Kyle explained.

He picked up the package, which contained about a dozen bottles of different potions. Some were broken by Cord's rough move just now, but most of them were still intact.

Kyle picked them out and put them into his box... Although they were all very common types, after all, they were bought with his own money and could not be wasted.

"You suddenly came here just to buy potions?" Dumbledore was even more confused.

In his impression, Cord was not a famous potion master. The things here could be found in any potion store, and even a fifth-year student with good potion scores could make it himself.

Is it necessary for Kyle to make a special trip at this time?

"Buying potions is not the purpose, I am here for this." Kyle took out the box and showed it.

Dumbledore was still wondering why Kyle came here, but when he saw the old box, he suddenly realized something.

"Invisibility cloak?"

"To be precise, it's the Invisibility Cloak, one of the Three Sacred Artifacts." Kyle said, "Perhaps this is the only thing that can give Ariana a glimmer of hope at this time."

Dumbledore was shaking.

Yes, how could he have forgotten this matter? He had obviously known for a long time that the Invisibility Cloak had been passed down from generation to generation in the Potter family. Why hadn't he thought of it before?

"He just lent it to you?" Dumbledore suddenly realized something, "I'm afraid no one understands how precious this thing is better than Cord, right?"

"It's really not easy, so I used some special methods..." Kyle briefly recounted what happened in the store before.

"Twenty galleons...and three bottles of wine?" Dumbledore sighed: "I didn't expect it to be so simple."

"This is not simple at all." Kyle glanced back, "His wife is here too."

"If he hadn't discovered that the disparity in strength was too great, even if I gave him a hundred bottles of wine, he wouldn't have been able to take out the invisibility cloak."

"Wait a minute." Dumbledore looked at Kyle nervously, "Did you..."

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't do anything, I just showed some magic." Kyle shook his head, "My intention was to let him believe that I wasn't trying to steal the invisibility cloak, but Cord didn't dare to bet. Just make the best choice at the moment.

"The following ones are just based on this, trying to get some benefits for myself as much as possible, but it is true that he likes those wines... After all, they are left by Hufflepuff and cannot be seen by ordinary people."

"Hufflepuff?" Dumbledore was confused. He had lost his memory and naturally couldn't remember the golden cup.

"That's not important." Kyle said.

After getting what they wanted, the two walked towards Dumbledore's house together.

During this period, Dumbledore couldn't help but look at the box in Kyle's hand and asked, "Do you want to use it to hide Ariana?"

"I have this idea." Kyle said, he opened the box and took in his hand the invisibility cloak inside that seemed to be woven with water.

The so-called Hallows, also known as the Deathly Hallows, are things that appear in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard". This is a fairy tale familiar to the wizarding world, a bit like "Andersen's Fairy Tales" in the Muggle world.

This story is a bit long. Legend has it that three brothers met the legendary God of Death and passed the test. Death decided to grant each of them a wish.

But Kyle was more willing to believe that this was a little game played by the God of Death because he was too bored.

The eldest of the three brothers was the most bellicose. He asked for the strongest wand. With this wand, he was invincible and defeated all his enemies, but in the end he was killed in a sneak attack while sleeping.

Then his soul was taken away by the God of Death, and he failed.

Then there is the most arrogant second son, Cadmus. He wanted to play with Death and made a wish to resurrect the dead. Death also fulfilled his wish and gave him a stone. As long as he turned it in his hand three times, it would bring happiness to his heart. Thinking of the resurrection of the dead.

After Cadmus returned home, he used the Resurrection Stone to resurrect the girl he once loved.

But the God of Death did not tell him that the Resurrection Stone could only recall the soul, and the recalled soul did not belong to the human world. Here, she was suffering all the time.

Cadmus was even more painful. In order to truly integrate into the girl's world, he chose to take the initiative to end his life and surrender to the God of death.

Finally, there is Ignotus, the third child. He is the smartest one and the only one who does not believe in Death. Out of caution, he made a wish to go to a place outside the jurisdiction of Death, and then got this invisibility cloak. .

According to legend, this invisibility cloak is Death's own cloak.

Then he succeeded. Death searched for him for many years, but could not find him. It was not until he was too old that he took off his invisibility cloak, left the clothes to his son, and greeted Death like an old friend. , and left with death happily.

This is the story of three brothers. Almost every child born in a wizarding family has read it. Most wizards believe that this story is meant to tell them to always be vigilant.

But what's interesting is that the legendary Three Holy Artifacts...the Invisibility Cloak, the Elder Wand, and the Resurrection Stone all exist, and Kyle has seen them all.

What he is holding now is one of the invisibility cloaks.

The reason why Kyle wanted to use this thing to save Ariana was not only because of its legend, but also because the invisibility cloak was also the key to this incident.

The young Grindelwald and Dumbledore left without saying goodbye because they were going to the southern highlands to find the Invisibility Cloak. This was also the reason why Aberforth was furious.

Then Grindelwald was depressed because he didn't find what he was looking for. He lost his former calmness and couldn't help but fight with Aberforth.

Ariana was accidentally killed while trying to stop them.

In a sense, the invisibility cloak was the trigger for all of this, if not the main reason.

Kyle had a hunch that this accident started with the invisibility cloak, and perhaps it would end with the invisibility cloak.

Kyle thought to himself and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Soon, the exquisite house was in sight.

At this point, Dumbledore suddenly hesitated and subconsciously slowed down.

"We can't go see Ariana, we can't..." he muttered.

But Kyle didn't stop at all. He took out his wand, and a small sapling next to him began to grow rapidly. Kyle stepped on a spreading branch and was led to the attic window.

"Close your ears and listen!" Kyle waved his wand again and reached out to push open the attic window.

Ariana was sitting on a small bed inside. After hearing the movement, she turned her head subconsciously, first glanced at Kyle who jumped in, and then looked at the bright sun outside.

"You... why are you here at this time?" Ariana was startled. "No, if Brother Aberforth sees him, he will be angry. You run away quickly."

As she said that, she stood up and nervously put her ear to the door, as if to confirm if there was any movement outside.

"It doesn't matter, he can't hear us." Kyle smiled and shook his head, "I came to you this time because I have something very important to ask for your help."

"Important...things?" Ariana blinked, showing unconcealable joy: "Can Ariana help?"

"Of course, no one can do this except you." Kyle said, "Do you want to save your brother?"

Ariana immediately became nervous, "What's wrong with brother Aberforth?"

With that said, she hurriedly grabbed the door handle and wanted to go out and take a look.

"It's not Aberforth..." Kyle said quickly: "It's another one."

He took Ariana, who had calmed down, to the window.

When Kyle broke in just now, Dumbledore wanted to hide, but for some unknown reason, his feet seemed to be welded to the ground and he couldn't move a step, just standing there.

So when Kyle took Ariana to the window, she saw Dumbledore outside at a glance.

"Albus...brother?" Ariana said softly.

She didn't know whether it was because of family ties or the Obscurus's extremely strong perception. Even though Dumbledore had a full head of white hair, she recognized the other person's identity with just one glance.

Dumbledore, on the other hand, had already burst into tears and his face was covered with tears.

"Do you want to hide anymore? Professor." Kyle said.

This time Dumbledore did not choose to escape. He just floated up out of thin air and flew to the attic.

Ariana's eyes widened at first, and then she burst into tears.

To be honest, even Kyle was shocked by this move. He could understand Dumbledore crying, but Ariana cried anyway...

He tried to ask why,

"Brother Albus...died...turned into a flying ghost..." Ali choked and continued to cry loudly.

In her understanding, ghosts are white, and Brother Albus has also turned white... Ghosts can fly, and Brother Albus can also fly... So Brother Albus is equal to a ghost.

Nothing wrong with it at all. Kyle twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

However, Dumbledore panicked. Looking at Ariana who was crying until her breathing was short of breath and her whole body was shrouded in a layer of black mist, he hurriedly got into the attic, pushed Kyle away who was blocking the way, and said softly:

"I'm fine, Ariana..."

"Touch, I'm still warm." He held Ariana's hand and tried to comfort her.

But he didn't know if he had no experience in this area. He kept saying the same two sentences over and over again, as if he was Neville who was taking potions class.

But luckily, after feeling the warmth from her palms, Ariana gradually calmed down.

"Brother Albus...isn't he really a ghost?"

"Of course I'm not." Dumbledore shook his head, looking at the girl from years ago with tearful eyes.

"I'm sorry...Ariana...I'm sorry."

The girl stretched out her little hand and tried to wipe away the tears on her face.

"You'd better use something else, such as a handkerchief or something." Kyle whispered beside him: "He may still have snot on his face."

The little girl's hand stopped immediately, and a flash of panic flashed in her eyes.

Dumbledore glared at Kyle angrily.

"Don't look at me like that, Professor." Kyle shrugged, "It's mainly because you guys were too involved just now, and now is really not the time to reminisce about the past."

Kyle walked over, opened the invisibility cloak in his hand, and put it on Ariana without any explanation.

"Wow, it's that magical invisibility cloak." The little girl immediately forgot what happened just now and began to look at her disappearing body excitedly.

"Arianna..." Kyle knelt down and looked at the happy little girl in front of him.

"What's wrong?"

"Your brother Albus is in danger now. He may really turn into a dead ghost at any time."

The next second, Ariana, who was still very happy, cried again.

"Stop talking..." Dumbledore's voice trembled, trying to stop Kyle from continuing, but Kyle ignored him at all and just asked calmly:

"Will you help him?"

"I do," Ariana said firmly.

"But what if the price is that you can never come back?" Kyle continued: "You have to leave here, leave this home, and leave your brother Aberforth."

"I..." Ariana hesitated, "If I miss them, can they come back?"

"No." Kyle tightened the invisibility cloak on Ariana and continued: "You can't come back, even if you miss them again, otherwise your brother Albus will really become a ghost... and maybe even Worse."

"Stop talking." Dumbledore said painfully again, trying to stop Kyle, but still received no response.

Although the words that followed might make Ariana sad, it was something she had to go through if she wanted to save her life.

"Then you'll be alone, living in a strange place."

"Then I will never see Brother Aberforth?" Ariana held her head in pain, and the black mist representing Obscurus began to surge over her body.

But the miraculous thing is that the invisibility cloak on Ariana's body blocked the black mist. They were tightly imprisoned and could not take shape.

"You can't say that." Kyle thought for a while, "Maybe you can see him again in a hundred years, but before that, you need to force yourself to forget everything here."

The black mist on Ariana's body became even thicker, and some of it had even emerged from the gaps, floating in the air and surging violently.

Kyle frowned. Ariana's reaction was even greater than he expected. If it weren't for the invisibility cloak, I'm afraid the words just now would have caused Obscurus to explode directly.

"Call the gods to protect you!"

A silver-white jellyfish emerged from Kyle's wand, and its long tentacles wrapped around the black mist, trying to disperse them.

The Patronus is the embodiment of hope and the nemesis of all dark matter, and Obscurus is no exception.

But the Obscurus was too strong. Even if it offset some of the black mist that escaped, the pressure on Kyle would be greater than when he faced hundreds of Dementors.

He could only try his best to maintain the patron saint, and at the same time hope that Ariana would wake up soon.

At this moment, a silver phoenix also joined in.

The phoenix flew over Ariana's head, and a warm force enveloped her, like a bonfire in the cold winter.

The black fog gradually disappeared, and Ariana opened her eyes again.

"So, Ariana, have you made a decision?" Kyle was heartbroken and continued to ask.

"I've said enough, shut up!" Dumbledore roared.

The majestic magic power spurted out from his body, causing large spiderweb-like cracks on the walls and ceiling.

"Professor, now is not the time to be soft-hearted, this is the only way to save her life." Kyle did not give in at all, "She must leave here, this is the only way!"

"I know I know…"

Dumbledore's voice suddenly softened, and even contained a hint of pleading.

"You have done a good enough job, can you leave the rest to me... please."

"Are you sure?" Kyle reminded: "This decision requires Ariana to voluntarily give up all her support. It may make her hate you for the rest of her life. I don't care, but you..."

"I have no problem." Dumbledore said calmly, "As long as I can save her."

"In that case... remember to pay attention to the time. It must not exceed ten o'clock."

Kyle took a deep breath, stood up, and decided to leave this time to the siblings.

But he did not choose to leave through the window, but directly opened the door and walked out.

"What happened... Ariana, how are you."

There was a rush of footsteps outside, it was Aberforth.

Dumbledore lost control just now and almost destroyed the whole house with the movement. In this case, even using ear plugs to listen to the curse was useless.

Aberforth, who heard the noise, immediately ran over to check on Ariana, and happened to bump into Kyle who was walking out of the door.

"Who are you!"

Seeing a stranger suddenly appear at home, and he came out of his sister's attic, Aberforth immediately became nervous, and then became furious.

He pulled out his wand without hesitation.

"What did you do to my sister..."

"Everything is forgotten!"

A white light hit Aberforth's forehead. It was obviously a forgetting curse, but its effect was like a repelling curse.

Aberforth didn't even say a word. He flew out with a splash and crawled to the ground motionless.

"Sorry, I can't let you disturb them now."

Kyle took a long breath and felt much better.

Just now he had a close encounter with the Obscurus, he was pretending to be a bad guy to scare Ariana, and he had to deal with Dumbledore's emotions, which made him even more stressed and his head was pounding.

Now there are sandbags brought to you on your own initiative, so if you don't use them, they will go to waste.

Kyle stretched, walked over, grabbed Aberforth's collar, and dragged him downstairs, repairing the walls that were cracked by Dumbledore's magic along the way.

Strictly speaking, Aberforth also had some responsibility for this matter. If his temper had not been so violent, he would not have fought with Grindelwald.

However, seeing that he had helped him many times in the future, Kyle relented and did not hold him back.
