"My brother has something to tell you, right here, just wait!"
After saying that, Aberforth stood up and left the room, closing the door.
Hmm... In this room, if I hadn't known that the environment of the Pig's Head Bar was like this, I would have really felt that Aberforth was making things difficult for me.
There were greasy stains on the floor.
The walls were also covered in dust and cobweb remnants.
The kerosene lamp above his head was also extremely dim because of the dirty lamp wall.
It's just a portrait, illuminated by two candles, spotless and unusual.
Are portraits so precious?
Let Aberforth, a man who would rather die than clean, take care of it.
Xifa was a little stunned in her heart, but soon, a piece of news about Dumbledore came to her mind.
Dumbledore's sister died young, leaving only a portrait for her two brothers to confess.
Could it be...
Yes, this is a portrait of Albus Dumbledore and Aberforth Dumbledore's sister, Ariana Dumbledore.
Why Xifa was suddenly sure was because a girl was walking slowly from the end of the path in the portrait.
It seemed that she knew that the person in front of her was the little wizard that her brother asked her to deliver the words to.
She smiled at Xifa, took out a piece of paper and pasted it on the signboard at the end of the path.
Nodding towards Xifa, she turned around and walked back along the path without looking back...
Is this the end?
After a lot of trouble, he slipped out of Hogwarts and came to the bar where the professor and his biological brother lived. Did they have an interview that they had agreed to do?
Xifa waited for a while, but did not see an additional passage appear on the portrait, nor did he see the portrait turn into a door and open.
Okay, it seems like I just gave myself a message.
Also, Ariana Dumbledore has been dead for decades. Now Albus Dumbledore is letting her run for him.
No wonder Aberforth Dumbledore treated him badly.
Forget it, this is the professor's family matter, and now the child himself is getting involved, and his efforts are thankless.
Ariana Dumbledore did not leave, and it was not appropriate for Sypha to step forward and examine the note carefully.
After all, they are portraits, and if you approach them in front of them, it would be a bit of a hooliganism.
But now the girl has been gone for a long time and has not appeared until now
"Confront, take the initiative, secret room."
Good guy...
Xifa was stunned on the spot.
Yes, Professor Dumbledore promised himself and swore an oath.
He doesn't design to test himself, nor does he tactfully involve himself in his plan.
But now he showed his cards directly and told himself what to do. .
But I have to admit that what the professor tells me will always bring me unexpected gains.
By the way, is this a prophecy again?
That's what prophecy is, it's never made clear.
However, there are always some things that I have experienced recently that can be applied to it.
For example, I accidentally overheard the transaction between Tom and Professor Crouch.
Kassandra ran to Slytherin with the blood of the demon snake.
I originally wanted to take care of Cassandra's self-esteem and let her quietly obtain the Slytherin inheritance, and then congratulate her.
But with Professor Dumbledore's little note, everything was disrupted.
But is it really just about Cassandra?
When faced with the accident that happened in the outer courtyard, he chose to escape, although it was also due to his own inability to do so.
————————
"Good news! Good news!"
That night, as soon as Xifa arrived at the Room of Requirement, Cassandra jumped in front of him and shouted to him.
"What's the good news? Have you completed your training in the Thought Palace?"
"Yeah!" Cass
Della nodded heavily.
"It's pretty fast. I thought you could practice well before Christmas."
Xifa looked surprised and walked towards the round table in the center of the field with Cassandra.
"What! Don't underestimate me!" A dissatisfied voice came from behind him.
"We invented this magic during the winter vacation last year, and the Christmas vacation is less than a month away. You learn this magic! By the way, how do you understand potions?" Seeing that Cassandra was a little frivolous, Xifa decided to suppress it. Suppress her arrogance.
"I didn't watch much..." Kassandra's voice became much softer.
"It doesn't matter. With the Palace of Thought, you can study much more easily than before." Seeing that Cassandra was a little frustrated, Xifa couldn't bear it, so he comforted her.
Thinking of something, Sifa, who was sitting down, turned to Cassandra.
"By the way, are you sure you don't need Animagus potion?"
"Of course, I have magic that suits me better. My magic power just isn't strong enough right now, otherwise I could directly show the form of the devil snake."
"OK."
After talking about this unexpected blessing, it’s time to talk about the original purpose.
Xifa knocked on the table.
Elise and Luna, who were immersed in reading, put down their books one after another and cast their reluctant eyes on themselves.
"Tonight I went to the Pig's Head Bar and met Professor Dumbledore's brother and sister."
"Huh? Professor Dumbledore still has a sister?"
Elise and Luna knew that the professor's brother was the manager of the Pig's Head Bar, but they had never seen the professor's sister.
"It died many years ago, and now it's a portrait."
"Oh..." The two of them became a little sad.
"Okay, let's talk about our new plan!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xifa quickly changed the subject.
Hearing Xifa's new plan, the three women swept away their sadness and looked at him with all their attention.
"Originally, I don't want to cause any trouble. I just want to live a stable life in this last year."
Xifa said in a deep voice, holding his forehead with one hand.
"Are you saying that the war will affect us next year?"
The clever Luna left to grasp the point and asked.
"Yes! But don't interrupt!" The atmosphere was completely gone! Xifa put down his hand and replied angrily.
"Hehe!" Luna, who guessed the answer, couldn't help laughing when she saw Xifa pretending to be angry.
"I'm sorry, Cassandra, but I have to tell you what you're hiding."
Xifa's eyes were full of apology, but also full of determination. After a long silence, Cassandra sighed.
"Okay, I originally wanted to tell you in the past few days, but how could I be persuaded by my mother at that time?"
"But do you really know why I want to go to Slytherin?"
Cassandra didn't believe that Xifa knew why she came to Slytherin. She only said that she had a reason to come to Slytherin.
"Is it for Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?"
"Huh? How do you know the secret room!" Cassandra looked a little silly.
"That's right, Xifa, we have never heard of it!"
Elise's eyes looked a little bad. Could it be Senior Sister Miranda? I knew that after that day, the relationship between the two was a little subtle. When Miranda asked herself questions, she always criticized Xifa's things.
Xifa: "Professor Dumbledore told me, and the professor asked me to take the initiative to help you find the secret room!"
Cassandra: "But, I don't know where the secret room is! Do you know?"
Xifa: "I'm not sure whether it is there during this time period, but someone will definitely find it!"
Elise: "Who?"
Cifer: "Casper Crouch and Tom Riddle!"
Elise: "They are discussing the secret room?!"
Xifa: "What else?"
Elise: "I thought they were going to talk about the matter in the outer courtyard again, so I planned to go investigate tonight."
"Although it's a bit chauvinistic to say this, but, Elise, that includes you! No one is allowed to investigate that matter privately! I don't want you to be harmed!"
Xifa patted the table and said in a stern tone.
