Became good friends with the Boy Who Lived

Chapter 134 Aberforth Dumbledore

"Eris...Eris..." Ariana's crisp voice sounded, shaking Eris' arm like a spoiled child, "When I grow up, I can have the last name Malfoy, right? I want to live with Draco forever..."

Aes was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "What the hell?" Aes shouted, "Where is that guy now?"

Ariana was frightened by Aries, looked at him angrily, and then pointed in the direction of the garden.

Jim and Selina were both very open-minded parents. When their adopted son brought his classmates to their home, they were very enthusiastic and treated Draco as their third son after Harry.

Draco quickly integrated into this family and did everything by himself, not showing any of the arrogance he had at school.

Ariana also showed kindness to Draco, even more so than to Aries, which made Aries feel a little sour.

Until today, when Ariana, who was just nine years old, said such "tiger words", "Ariana wants to have the last name Malfoy?" Aries's defense was completely broken.

Draco was in the garden. He and Ariana were watering the lawn. It was unusually hot this summer.

Aeris rushed over, grabbed Draco by the collar, and began to shake him back and forth. Draco did not resist, as if he had turned into a Q version.

"What have you done?" Aeris said angrily, "What have you done to my sister? Beast! We are six years older than her...six years..."

"It doesn't matter," Draco said weakly, "I can wait until she grows up..."

"Are you talking like a human being?" Aerius gnashed his teeth and said, "I have never seen such a shameless person as you. Do you know what you are talking about?"

Draco broke away from Aeris and said seriously: "Of course I know what I am talking about. I want to live with Ariana. The first time I saw Ariana, I knew that I came to this world just to meet this girl."

Aeris was so angry that he laughed, "Are you sick?" Aeris rolled his eyes and said, "Your Chuunibyou has reached the advanced stage."

"What is Chuunibyou?" Draco asked in confusion, "Is there such a disease?"

"Does it matter?" Aeris said aloud. "Does it matter?"

Aeris calmed down and narrowed his eyes dangerously, which frightened Draco and made him take a step back. Aeris said calmly: "Ariana... what... what does she mean? I mean... she agreed?"

"I just asked her if she was willing to live with me when she grew up and share the same surname as me, Malfoy," a blush appeared on Draco's pale cheeks. "She seemed very happy, and even told me... not to go back on my word and that it was a deal. I even thought of the names of our children. The boy's name would be Scorpius and the girl's name would be Delphine..." Draco's voice became smaller and smaller.

Facing Aeris' murderous eyes, Draco said weakly: "Don't look at me like that, uncle, I'm scared..."

"Don't joke with me about ethics," Aeris said unhappily, "She is only nine years old this year... I never thought that you were such a jerk... She doesn't have the ability to fully judge herself yet. When Ariana regrets it, I won't allow you to use any magic to interfere with her thinking. You know what I mean."

"I won't," Draco said, "Whether her future lover is me or not, I will arrange a wedding for her like a priest."

Hearing this, Aris rolled his eyes. In the next few days, looking at Draco and Ariana snuggling together, Aris felt his teeth itching and wanted to tear a piece of flesh from Draco's arm.

Seeing the intimacy between Draco and Ariana, Jim and Selina did not show much resistance. Instead, they were pleased that their daughter had grown up. The look in their eyes when they looked at their son-in-law made Aris speechless.

It was another weekend, and usually, Professor Dumbledore would come over and have dinner with the Greene family.

When Draco heard that Professor Dumbledore would come, he suddenly felt nervous for no reason and diligently helped Selina with the preparations for dinner.

The doorbell rang, and Aries went to open the door. Ariana followed him skipping and holding Aries' hand.

Aeris snorted coldly and whispered to Ariana: "You are such a heartless person..."

Ariana smiled and stuck out her tongue at Aeris, but said nothing.

The door opened, and outside was not only Professor Dumbledore, but also another old man. This old man was wearing a grey cloth robe, and his face was about 70% similar to Professor Dumbledore, with the same deep blue eyes, the same high nose bridge, the same long hair and beard, but he was not wearing glasses, and his hair and beard were grey.

"My brother, Aberforth," Professor Dumbledore introduced, but Aberforth's full attention was on Ariana.

"Abu!" Ariana greeted Professor Dumbledore, then looked at Aberforth and greeted him naturally: "Afu..."

Aberforth was also very tall. He had to squat down to look Ariana in the eye. Their two pairs of blue eyes looked at each other, one pair was full of memories and pain, and the other pair was full of curiosity.

"Can you tell me your name, little girl?" Aberforth asked softly.

"My name is Ariana!" Ariana's voice was full of soothing charm.

Aberforth suddenly burst into tears and gently held Ariana in his arms. Ariana was not afraid or resisted. She just used her little hands to wipe the tears from Aberforth's face.

After Aberforth let go of Ariana, Aries quickly invited the two old people into the hall. Ariana seemed very happy. She grabbed an old man in each hand and walked towards the restaurant.

"Oh! You're here, Albus," Jim greeted, "Come and sit down!"

"Good evening, Jim," said Professor Dumbledore. "I hope you don't mind if I bring my brother Aberforth with me today."

"What are you talking about?" said Jim. "Welcome, Aberforth!"

Late-stage Social Bull Patient : Jim immediately strikes up a conversation with Aberforth, and soon the two are talking and laughing.

After Draco came over and greeted Professor Dumbledore, the small dinner began. The atmosphere at the table was very harmonious, except when Ariana was interacting with Aberforth, there was some jealousy in Draco's light gray eyes.

At dessert time, Aberforth took out a large bag of exotic candies and gave it to Ariana.

"Jim," Professor Dumbledore said after drinking another glass of fruit wine, "You must have noticed that I...we have some special feelings for your daughter. I hope this has not caused you to have any...unnecessary...misunderstandings about us two old guys."

"How could that be?" Jim said, "Our little angel has such magical power. She is the school's favorite. Wherever she appears, disputes cease. As long as you are around her, you can feel calm and peaceful. Animals will naturally get close to her."

Professor Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Ariana carefully with his deep blue eyes, and finally shook his head.

Aries understood what Professor Dumbledore meant. Ariana did not have any magical talent at all. Ariana might have some abilities that were beyond her understanding, but those were definitely not magical abilities.

"We had a sister," said Professor Dumbledore. "She..."

"Stop talking, Albus..." Aberforth said painfully, shaking his head.

"I want to hear it, Alfred," Ariana said. "Tell me about it!"

Aberforth picked up Ariana and let her sit on his lap. Draco smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, and his pale face showed: I'm jealous.

"Where the treasure is, there the heart is also!" Aberforth murmured to himself. "You should say it, Albus."

Professor Dumbledore began:

"We once had a younger sister. Her name was Ariana Dumbledore. When she was playing with some boys, they did something very excessive to her. Since then, Ariana has contracted a rare disease. In that era, that disease was almost incurable."

"Our father, in a rage, killed those who... caused my sister's illness, but my father was also arrested and imprisoned, and eventually my father died in prison."

"Our mother moved with us, but my sister couldn't control herself when she had an attack, and she... killed our mother."

"As the eldest brother, I should have taken good care of my sister, but I didn't. I did something that I will regret for the rest of my life. I ignored my loved ones for someone I thought shared the same ideals with."

"Aberforth criticized me, but my friend thought that my brother and sister were hindering my progress, and we had an argument."

"Our sister lost control again at that time. We just wanted to subdue her, but... I don't know which of us failed... Anyway, our sister... died in that quarrel. The year she died, she... Ariana... was only fourteen years old..."

"Your daughter, Ariana, looks so much like our sister," Aberforth said with a choked voice, "It's as if we saw our sister...reincarnated, although this is just wishful thinking..."

Ariana wiped the tears from Aberforth's face again and kissed his wrinkled old face. Aeris heard the sound of Draco gritting his teeth.

"Ariana definitely likes Alfred more!" Ariana said with a smile, pulling a strand of Aberforth's beard.

"Hahahaha..." Aberforth laughed heartily.

Jim also patted Professor Dumbledore on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "We can't always be immersed in the sadness of the past. This is what you said when you comforted me, Albus!"
