Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 845 The plan begins

 The Forgetting Curse is not a coma spell after all. After Kyle brought Aberforth downstairs, he woke up quickly.

But Aberforth, who woke up, had obviously forgotten what had just happened. He rubbed his forehead and didn't understand why he was on the floor of the living room, and his legs still hurt so much, as if someone had dragged him down the stairs. Same.

But how is this possible? Apart from him, the only other person in this house is Ariana, who is no different from an ordinary girl. It is impossible for Ariana to drag her down.

Aberforth shook his head, thinking that he had fallen asleep on the sofa and accidentally fell off, hitting the wound he had left in the woods before.

Due to the movement at night these days, he has not slept well. He has been in a daze all day, and it is not surprising that he suddenly fell asleep on the sofa.

Aberforth stood up and staggered towards the room upstairs. At the same time, he cursed his irresponsible brother in a low voice. If Dumbledore was here, he wouldn't have to work so hard...at least not Like now, he would have to take care of Ariana by himself day and night.

Thinking of this, Aberforth cursed even louder.

 During this process, his voice was recorded by a small ear-shaped object in the corner.

Kyle sat in a secluded place outside, holding the other half of the telescopic ear in his hand, and heard the entire process of him scolding Dumbledore.

I have to say, this resentment is really great. If the same surname hadn't limited Aberforth's output, he might have cursed even more.

　　It wasn’t until he saw Aberforth walking into his room through the window and starting to write his homework with a quill that Kyle put away his telescopic ears.

 Fortunately, he didn't plan to go to the attic again, otherwise, he might have to make another trip.

Afterwards, Kyle released the Billywig and let it go to the southern entrance of the valley. He went to the barn and waited patiently inside.

I don’t know how long it took, but the Billywig came back first. It flew to Kyle’s side and kept gesticulating up and down while making a subtle buzzing sound.

"You saw two wizards, didn't you?" Kyle asked.

The Billywig started flying up and down again, seemingly nodding.

 In fact, it is nodding, but its wings are on top of its head, and its movements are slightly larger.

 It goes without saying that the two wizards coming from the south at this time are probably Grindelwald and Dumbledore.

Kyle stood up, ready to remind Dumbledore, but as soon as he left the barn, he saw Dumbledore standing outside.

“Professor, I was just going to find you.” Kyle said, “They are almost back. Do you have any results there?”

As he spoke, Kyle subconsciously looked to the left of Dumbledore.

Although it looked like Dumbledore was alone outside, he could feel that Ariana was there too, right next to him.

Sure enough, the next second, the air around Dumbledore suddenly fluctuated, and Ariana's face was revealed from under the invisibility cloak.

 Her eyes were red, she must have cried just now.

"Now that you've made your decision." Kyle then took out a small bottle filled with magic potion, stepped forward and gently pulled out a hair from Ariana's head and put it inside.

 “Then according to the plan, it’s the fake Ariana’s turn to appear next.”

 The potion in the bottle began to tumble, gradually turning from tan to a very clean sky blue.

 “Hmm…it shouldn’t taste too bad.” Kyle muttered softly.

 But just when he was about to drink it, the potion in his hand was suddenly snatched away.

"Professor?" Kyle looked at Dumbledore doubtfully, "You regretted it?"

"No." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "The plan must continue, but the division of labor needs to be changed. Next, I have to stay here and you will take care of Ariana."

 “I don’t agree.” Kyle frowned.

It is not easy to deceive the young you and Grindelwald. It will definitely not work in a trivial manner, and it will not work if it is not true.

In other words, the person who plays Ariana must actually receive a spell, and it is the kind of spell that is fatal to ordinary people.

With the help of the special iron armor spell, Kyle was confident that he could get through without revealing any flaws, but Dumbledore...in his current state, it was difficult for him to block a spell.

"I know what you mean." Dumbledore explained softly: "Ariana is my sister, and this decision was made by me, so no matter what the risk is, it should be borne by me, not by you. I take risks."

"But…"

"Also." Dumbledore interrupted Kyle, "You are not familiar with the next person who will appear, but I know them, especially Aberforth. Any slight mistake may arouse his suspicion. Do you Less than perfect.

“But the scene that happened next is imprinted in my memory like a knife. Every detail has been repeated for decades. Only my disguise as Ariana will not reveal any flaws.”

"this…"

Kyle was silent.

Dumbledore is right. The most important step is not to let Ariana die, but to deceive everyone present. At this point, Dumbledore is indeed more suitable than him.

 Just a little bit…

“Professor, are you sure you are pretending to be Ariana and not dying in her place?”

"Don't worry, I understand your concerns." Dumbledore said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Grindelwald and I are only teenagers at this time. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is just trouble. I want to meet again. To Ariana."

As he spoke, he looked back at his sister again.

"All right."

Calculating the time, Grindelwald and Dumbledore should be arriving soon, so Kyle said nothing more.

 He walked over to Ariana and led her out of the barn.

Dumbledore watched from behind and drank the potion from the bottle.

At the same time, young Grindelwald and Dumbledore also returned to the valley.

 Grindelwald has always had a sullen face and does not seem to be in a very good mood.

"It's okay, Gellert." Dumbledore said from the side: "The sacred artifact has been missing for hundreds of years, so it is normal that it is not so easy to find."

"But I also prepared for a long time." Grindelwald crushed the flowers on the roadside with his foot. "I prepared for half a year, even at the risk of being expelled from the school, just to rush over as soon as possible, but in the end I got such an answer. …The family moved away?”

 “We can keep looking.”

"There's no need to comfort me, it's useless." Grindelwald said angrily: "As you can see, there are only a few old wizards left there who are not much better than Squibs. They don't even remember that others have moved there. Where, even using Legilimency is useless."

 “Did you use Legilimency on them?” Dumbledore frowned.

He remembered that those people were already very old, and their fragile bodies made it difficult for them to withstand the impact of magic. Especially magic like Legilimency, which targeted memory, was likely to make their minds less bright. It gets even more confusing.

More importantly, judging from the clues found, the family suddenly moved away decades ago and even left many things behind. How could they have time to tell their neighbors about their whereabouts?

 There is little point in using Legilimency.

And importantly, Grindelwald also clearly promised him not to use violent means to force him.

"I must find the whereabouts of the sacred artifact, no matter how small the clue is, I must not miss it." Grindelwald said to himself, not noticing the change in Dumbledore at this time.

 The two of them walked all the way to the door of their home.

"I need to go back and take a rest." Dumbledore said directly, without staying with Grindelwald until the evening as usual. "Ah, okay." Grindelwald said absently, "I also want to go back and ask my aunt for clues about the sacred artifact. Then we will see you tomorrow."

 “Albus, why do you have the nerve to come back!”

 At this time, an angry shout suddenly came.

Aberforth opened the door angrily, "You left suddenly without saying a word. Don't you know that Ariana needs someone to take care of her right now?"

“Or do you wish she would die soon, so that no one can hold you back and stop you from traveling around the world with this bastard!”

"No, Aberforth, it's not what you think. I can explain it," said Dumbledore.

"Explanation?" Aberforth sneered, "Is it true that you just ran away? Fortunately, it is the holiday now. If Hogwarts starts school, will you, bastard, leave Ariana alone at home and let her Live and die!"

"Absolutely not!" Dumbledore said firmly, "I absolutely will not!"

"That's nice to say." Aberforth gasped and looked at the two people in front of him angrily, "You have changed since you met this bastard. I can see that you don't want to stay here. You think you It’s an owl trapped in a cage, and Ariana is that cage.”

Dumbledore stood there silently.

 In a sense, Aberforth was right; he did think so.

“You want to use your talents, that’s okay, I’ll make it happen. I’ll drop out of school tomorrow. Get out of here and never come back!”

"That's enough, you idiot!" Grindelwald stepped forward quickly, pulled out his wand, and looked at Aberforth fiercely.

"Don't blame your incompetence on Albus. He has the ability to change the entire magical world. Such a person should not be guarding a squib. This is a blasphemy against his talent!"

"Squib?" Aberforth's eyes instantly became bloodshot, and he also pulled out his wand. "Bastard, you will pay for your actions!"

 “You actually dare to scold me!” Grindelwald also raised his head and pointed hard with his right hand:

 “Go out and dig out the bones!”

 …

Hearing screams instantly echoed through the entire valley, followed by noisy screams and shouts, so loud that even Kyle could hear them as he was about to walk out of the valley.

 He waved his wand, and the voice suddenly stopped.

Feeling the sudden trembling in the palm of his hand, Kyle said softly: "It should be the evil bird. The cry is really unpleasant, isn't it?"

"Evil bird...what is that?" Because the sound lasted for a moment and then disappeared, Ariana in the invisibility cloak did not hear it clearly.

She subconsciously looked back, but her sight was completely blocked by the lush woods behind her, and she couldn't see anything.

"A kind of magical animal." Kyle said, "Their piercing calls will cause those who hear it to hallucinate and see the things they fear most. If it were you, you would probably see Aberforth being hanged. Get up and beat him up."

Kyle said it so seriously that Ariana quickly covered her ears in fright.

Kyle smiled and also looked back.

 He actually knew very well that the conflict had already begun, and it was the fake Ariana's turn to appear next.

He didn't know if Dumbledore could perform this play well, and whether he would fake it and involve himself in it, but it was useless to think about it now.

Judging from the sound just now, the conflict has already broken out. Even if he regrets it, he can't go back at all. He can only keep moving forward, properly arrange Ariana, and completely complete the plan.

Kyle quickened his pace and took Ariana to a path outside. Once here, what happened in Godric's Hollow had nothing to do with them.

"How about I take you outside to have a look." He suddenly said: "Don't you always want to go to a place other than the attic? Now you have this opportunity."

"Really?"

 Such as is the nature of a child, Ariana immediately forgot what had just happened.

 Her long-standing wish was to leave the dark and damp basement and go outside.

　　Although she was later taken into the attic by her brother Aberforth, it was still at home after all. What she wanted to do was go further outside, leave the house like everyone else and go to the sun.

 It’s just that she didn’t want to embarrass her brothers, so she never said anything.

"Of course it's true." Kyle said with a smile, and he thought for a while, "Let's go first...how about Hogwarts, that's where your two brothers go to school, and you were originally going there."

Kyle's voice became smaller and smaller.

 “It’s okay, I want to take a look.” Ariana said timely.

"Okay, let's go to Hogwarts." Kyle opened his suitcase, "But before that, you have to go in and play for a while. I will go see you when we get there."

Because of Ariana's special nature, Kyle didn't dare to use apparation with her, and there were too many uncertainties in the Knight Bus. What if a wizard suddenly recited a spell on the way? If Ariana saw her, That would be great fun.

Even if she is wearing the legendary invisibility cloak, Kyle does not dare to take risks. He is about to succeed now, and he does not want to fall short.

For safety reasons, it is best to let her hide for the time being.

But Ariana didn’t care about Kyle’s decision, or she liked Kyle’s box very much.

Ariana has never seen such a magical place. The box is huge, much larger than the basement and attic combined.

 There is the sun, grass, and forests inside. It is just like another Godric's Hollow... So is the place where they live also put in a box by another person?

 The world outside is so magical!

Ariana thought in surprise.

  She also saw a group of cute creatures with long necks and big eyes that she had never seen before.

 They are so beautiful...all covered in snow-white.

 “Come here and help me take care of her.”

While Ariana's attention was focused on the Moon Crazy Beast, Kyle was not far away and solemnly told the gold coin keeper in the box, "Don't let her get close to the basilisk and those dangerous monsters." Plant, if she gets even a little frightened, I will exchange all the gold coins in your pocket for stones!”

Xiu Xiu looked at Kyle in horror, and quickly covered his breast pocket tightly with his short hands.

 Snatch it’s ‘bling’?

Xiu Xiu knew that Kyle could do such an evil thing more than once, but he always left some for himself before and would make up for it later, so he could barely accept it.

 But taking them all away...it's too scary.

 Then it looked at Ariana again and nodded solemnly.

"Then it's up to you." Kyle smiled kindly again, "I knew you could do it. This is a reward. If everything goes well, there will be more."

Kyle took out five gold coins, Xiu Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded harder.

 “Then I’ll leave it to you.”

 After that, Kyle found Ariana again and told her a few places that she must not go near before leaving the box.

Ariana is very sensible. She will definitely not go there out of curiosity to see where Kyle does not let her go.

 At this point, she is much more worry-free than a certain **** with a scar on her forehead.

As for letting Xiu Xiu help take care of it, it is just in case. Anyway, it is idle when it is idle. Find something to do for it, and it will save it from worrying about the gold coins in Noberon's nest every day.
