Rebirth: I am the strongest second generation of Harry Potter

Hector tried to ask Aberforth what happened, but Aberforth said he didn't know either. Albus Dumbledore just asked Fawkes to tell him to come to Hogwarts to watch over Hector for one night. Upon hearing the news, Aberforth hurried to Hogwarts from the Hog's Head Inn.

Hector felt that the behavior of his grandfather Albus, the Riddler, was unreasonable, and his mood became even more irritable because of his irritability and confusion. Hector became more and more certain that something important must have happened tonight, and he was going to go to the headmaster's office again. Before he could take a step, Aberforth stretched out his arm in time to stop him.

"Albus specifically told me to stop you."

Aberforth's arms were strong, and his words were as strong as his arms.

"Hogwarts is not peaceful tonight."

Hector had almost guessed what happened, and his mood was complicated - Hector was very happy to see Dumbledore no longer obsessed with his own plan and made changes. Dumbledore seemed to have listened to his words, which made Hector very relieved, but he was still very dissatisfied with Grandpa Albus's concealment of him.

Hector made Dumbledore learn to trust others, and of course this other person must include Hector. What's the reason for excluding him now?

"I want to ask Grandpa Albus something," Hector wanted to persuade the old man in front of him.

"He didn't tell you anything, Grandpa, can you stand being kept in the dark by Grandpa Albus?"

Aberforth just twitched his nose a few times and ignored Hector's clumsy and easy-to-see-through provocation.

"I am really angry that Albus didn't tell me anything," Aberforth looked at Hector's eyebrows and raised them unconsciously. He swallowed and added,

"But this is Albus, I'm used to it. But he said something to me, I think what he did today makes sense." Aberforth looked at Hector very seriously,

"What did he say? asked Hector.

"Don't involve Hector in this, Albus said, and that's why I'm here."Aberforth stared at Hector. Hector opened his mouth, wanting to say something to refute Aberforth, but he found that he couldn't say anything. Hector knew that he couldn't convince Aberforth, and the only thing he could do now was to stay quietly with this old man whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Of course, Hector didn't consider using the Disillusionment Charm. Aberforth's strength should not be underestimated, and he knew this deeply.

Since there was nothing he could do, Hector sat down next to Aberforth.

He did miss this man a little.

An old man whom he had not seen for a long time.

Aberforth used the arm that had just stopped Hector to gently hold Hector in his arms.

Aberforth only used one arm throughout the whole process, and Hector easily found that Aberforth's other arm was close to his body, and his hand was always tightly holding the wand.

Aberforth was carrying out the task of protecting Hector from beginning to end.

He was vigilantly watching everything around him that might threaten Hector's safety, and at the same time gave the warmest embrace to this worried-looking child.

"Hector, relax, I'll take care of everything."

Aberforth could feel that the child in his arms didn't seem so happy, and worries lingered between Hector's frowning brows, which made Aberforth very distressed. He didn't know how to comfort Hector, so he could only subconsciously hug Hector a little tighter.

Hector nodded. He couldn't remember the last time he leaned on his grandfather's arms like this. Aberforth had the greasy smell of fireworks on him, which made Hector feel very familiar. He wanted to go back to the place with the pig head sign, at least there, Hector would not have so many troubles now.

Besides, the food at home is quite delicious, not much worse than that at Hogwarts.

Aberforth's embrace is so warm that Hector does not want to think about anything now. The uneasiness from the bottom of his heart just now completely disappears at this moment. Sleepiness comes like a tide, and Hector closes his eyes soon and unconsciously. His body slides down slowly without control until Hector finds a comfortable position on Aberforth's thigh.

Aberforth is so quiet. Hector sat there with his head resting on his legs. Not long after, Hector fell asleep. The early spring night was still a little cold. Aberforth was worried that Hector would get sick without a quilt. He quickly took off his coat and carefully covered Hector with it.

The night didn't seem so long, and dawn came a little faster than usual. Aberforth just sat there. He had never hoped for the light of dawn so much. It would be better if the night was longer. At least Hector could rest more.

On the first When a ray of dawn fell on Hector's face, Fawkes came to the Gryffindor common room. She stood on Aberforth's shoulder. Aberforth nodded, gently lifted Hector's head from his legs, and then carefully placed it on the sofa. Aberforth did all this without making a sound. Fawkes also jumped to the armchair beside and waited quietly. Aberforth simply moved his numb limbs, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief and put the wand back into his trouser pocket.

"Albus is looking for me?" Aberforth rubbed his wrist, lowered his voice, and asked Fawkes, who nodded without making a sound.

""Okay." Aberforth muttered. He glanced at Hector curled up on the sofa, squatted down, stretched out his hand, and gently touched Hector's head.

"What a good kid." He stood up and looked at Fox.

"Don't use your trick here, I can just walk over there myself."

Aberforth walked towards the portrait of the Fat Lady, with Fawkes standing on his shoulder, and they left the Gryffindor Common Room quietly, as if nothing had happened.

"Wake up, Hector."After an unknown amount of time, a familiar voice woke Hector up. Hector opened his eyes dazedly - it was Hermione. He subconsciously looked up and around. Except for his coat, there was no trace of Aberforth.

"Why are you sleeping here?" Hermione's face was full of concern, and then she seemed to remember something and lowered her head again.

"You weren't caught by Professor McGonagall, were you?"

Hector sat up and stretched his sore limbs. He shook his head at Hermione.

"It's not that bad, I was just caught by Professor Dumbledore."Hector yawned, and he continued,

"No points deducted, but she will be put in detention - of course, at his place."

Hermione was relieved, but Hector could still see that the little witch's face was filled with self-blame.

"I understand, Hermione. Don't worry, it's just a deduction of 200 points, there's always a way to earn it back."

Hector's consolation obviously didn't work, Hermione just nodded, and then they met Harry and his friends who had gotten up early on purpose, or hadn't slept all night. The Gryffindor common room was filled with awkwardness. After a night that could be described as a nightmare, they didn't know how to start the conversation properly. Harry and his friends, Hermione and Hector just said good morning, and then they didn't know what to say.

They walked to the hall together, thinking that a hearty breakfast might solve the lingering guilt in their hearts, but unfortunately, when Harry and his friends saw that the Gryffindor points hourglass suddenly became empty, their depression and regret became even stronger.

Everyone lowered their heads at the same time, quietly or even silently stuffing breakfast into their mouths mechanically.

It seemed that in a short period of time, no one could completely get out of the shadow of last night.

Harry thought that being deducted 200 points was bad enough, but soon he heard another heart-wrenching news.

Professor Quirrell was gone.
