Aberforth: Of the Three of Us Siblings, I'll Die First?

Dumbledore overlooked the fact that his sister was already an adult.

He was unaware that Basil was already an adult and of legal harvesting age.

He wanted to rush over and confront his younger brother, but his brother twisted his arm and shook his head.

This moment is just like that moment back then.

Dumbledore couldn't help but recall the scene at the gates of Hogwarts Castle, where Aberforth, unable to contain his urge to teach Basil a lesson, had his arm twisted and was being shaken at him. Was this retribution?

After being brought back to her senses by Basil's stunning good looks, Phoebe, awakened by reason, forced herself to temporarily ignore Basil.

She rubbed her eyes. "Dumbledore didn't come? Professor Flamel said he would."

Before her stood two young men, a middle-aged man, and a girl who was so incredibly lucky that she seemed to have saved the world in her past life to have such a handsome boyfriend.

Aberforth without a facelift:?? I'm middle-aged now?

Phoebe continued to look them over, then said to Aberforth and Dumbledore, "You two are father and son, aren't you? Dumbledore's son and grandson."

"However," she looked at Dumbledore, "You look just like your grandfather. You have the exact same curved nose. I used to think it was because someone had broken it!"

Ariana waved her hand, "That's what happened when it was interrupted!"

She pointed at Aberforth: "Interrupted by Aberforth!"

"Dumbledore?" Phoebe hesitated.

Ariana, who hadn't paid attention to what Phoebe had said, exclaimed, "Aberforth interrupted me!"

Phoebe's eyes widened in shock. How unlucky Dumbledore have been to have such a son? He'd broken both his father's and son's noses! Could he have a weird fetish for breaking noses?! Thinking about it, the legendary Voldemort had no nose—could he also have one?!

No wonder Dumbledore never publicly revealed his family. There's been a long-standing rumor that Voldemort's greatest fear was Dumbledore. Could this be referring to Albus Dumbledore's son, Aberforth the Broken- Dumbledore?

She quickly covered her nose. "Mr. Aberforth, your son, daughter, and son-in-law still need—"

Four exclamations rang out simultaneously.

Aberforth: "I am Dumbledore's brother!"

Dumbledore: "I am Albus Dumbledore!"

Ariana: "I am their sister!"

Basil: "I am not a son-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, Phoebe slightly revealed the bridge of her nose. "Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot that you Mr. Dumbledore, are Professor Flamel's friend."

Then she changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Aberforth, may I ask you one more question?"

Aberforth: "Speak!"

Phoebe: "Was Voldemort's nose your doing?"

Before Aberforth could answer, Dumbledore interjected, "If Tom, or Voldemort as you say, is a goat, then that's possible."

"You bastard!" Aberforth completely broke down. Ariana didn't know about his affair with the goat!

Dumbledore gloated, "Who told you to say that Basil was your sister's boyfriend?"

Ariana covered her mouth to stifle a laugh. "I knew it all along! Aberforth's quirks."

It's often said that Welshmen are all goat-men, but the Fertile Grounds and Godric's Hollow in England, the ancestral home of the Dumbledore family, are no less impressive.

She had also read the original books and heard Harry Potter expert Madison introduce her two brothers.

Aberforth was petrified.

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and sized up Basil.

In his view, the source of this information must be Basil. However, it's perfectly normal for a nightmare capable of infiltrating into dreams to have a wide range of sources.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

Is it possible that Basil also knows the whereabouts of Voldemort's Horcrux?

This farce didn't last long.

Nick Flume's voice, now complete with the glasses, came from the UFO: "How much longer are you going to make me wait? Albus, you can certainly stage your family drama at my house again. Perenelle loves a good show."

Phoebe quickly apologized, "It's all my fault—I mistook you for someone else."

Although Half-Veela are not discriminated against in France, French wizards care more about their physical appearance than their knowledge and abilities.

She cherished this hard-won opportunity.

Nicolas Flamel replied nonchalantly, "Your problem is minor. Albus's transformation into a younger man startled me as well."

"Hello, Ariana, are you satisfied with your brother's gift?"

Ariana nodded. "Satisfied."

Nick Flume's voice became slightly more serious, "You must be Basil Granger. The heir of Merlin and King Arthur, the wielder of the Sword of Kings, the wizard who can traverse dreams. The future master of the British Wizarding World."

Basil shrugged. "King Arthur? Pretty much. But Merlin, aside from the fact that I can enter dreams, I have nothing in common with him. As for the future master of the British Wizarding World, where does that idea come from?"

Phoebe's eyes lit up. "The Tales of King Arthur isn't fiction? This handsome young man is amazing! He's definitely mine! As for this Ariana... she's Dumbledore's sister, she's probably an old lady by now! Trying to act young and cute, ugh! I'll save Basil's happiness!"

Nick Flume asked in surprise, "Didn't Albus tell you about his plans?"

Dumbledore quickly interrupted, "Alright. We should go now. Please, Miss Delacour."

After a moment of surprise, Phoebe nodded repeatedly and said, "Come with me."

Soon, everyone boarded the flying saucer.

Its interior is very spacious, clearly indicating the use of Undetectable Extension Charm.

More than a means of transportation, it's like a moving palace.

The interior is very luxurious. Upon entering, you are greeted by a gleaming silver floor and lighting fixtures and chairs in the same color tone, only varying in shades.

The cockpit is completely invisible.

Apart from Dumbledore, who was also an alchemist, no one else paid attention to the interior decoration.

Aberforth's mind was filled with duels, goats, hotels, and his sister.

After taking the photos, Basil pondered whether to make the card. The price of 25,000 gems deterred Grandet Basil. He decided to wait until he actually needed it before crafting it, even though he already had nearly 280,000 gems. But his hoarding habit resurfaced. He also wanted to see what new functions would be activated when his gem count surpassed 300,000 or 500,000.

Like the 200,000-gem [Expansion Module]. Without it, Basil could only kill Michael, let alone become his friend, let alone take him under his wing—no, knight. The inexhaustible source of high-quality emotional energy in Murder House would also be gone.

Ariana, on the other hand, had been curious about one thing. "That, Phoebe?"

Phoebe, who was stealing glances at Basil when interrupted, was a little impatient, but still maintained her perfect smile that showed eight teeth. "What?"

Ariana: "I heard from Nick Flume that we should go to his house."

"Is his home in Beauxbatons? And how is this UFO controlled?"

"How did you see us just now? There was this strange silver metal all around us."

Phoebe coughed at Basil, then drew her wand. Although she was answering Ariana's question, she was looking directly at Basil. "That's it. All your questions will be answered soon."

A golden beam of light shone from the silver disc-shaped lamp at the top of the circular room, connecting with Phoebe's wand.

"The Magic Field created by the combination of me and my wand can be recognized by the aircraft's database."

"Now, I can control this flying machine simply by holding the wand."

"For example, like this."

After she finished speaking, the silver ceiling, walls, and even the floor became transparent.

Everything that Ariana and Basil had just seen while flying was now reappearing before everyone's eyes.

Ariana also noticed where they were flying towards. "The sun! Nick Flume lives in the sun!"

Phoebe nodded. "You should know that Professor Flamel has given up taking the Elixir of Life and is preparing to die with his lover."

"More than six hundred years have passed, and apart from his lover, the person he values most is Beauxbatons, the academy that nurtured and made him who he is."

"Thus, after 300 years, Beauxbatons Castle, which was originally nestled among the mountains, was hidden inside the mountains."

"The purple sun— Professor Flamel's room is high up, from which he can see everything he loves."

"It was also the last escape route for Beauxbatons when it was in crisis."

"It serves as a transit point, connecting Professor Flamel's homes around the world. At that time, surviving students can use it to escape thousands of miles away, even to the other side of the earth. Alright, we've arrived."

The silver frisbee disappeared into the purple sun.

"Is this Nick Flume's house?" Ariana jumped down the silver stairs.

What appeared before them was an ordinary little wooden house.

It doesn't feel like an alchemist's home at all.

Silver is the most suitable metal for alchemy. Albus's office was filled with all sorts of exquisite silverware that produced various sounds and released smoke.

The home of Nick Flume looks more like the home of Rubeus Hagrid, that big, goofy guy.

"Yes!" Dumbledore replied affectionately, looking at his sister. "In recent years, he has preferred the style of Scandinavian log cabins and being close to nature."

"That's why he chose Devonshire for nearly a hundred years."

"Yes." A tall, silver-haired young man appeared at the top of the stairs on the second floor and slowly descended.

"It's a beautiful place. It has a pleasant climate and stunning scenery. It boasts England's highest mountain lake, the most expansive plains, highly rated and charming beaches, and a network of winding country lanes."

"The Jurassic Coast, Britain's only natural heritage site, is also located in Devon. It is composed of cliffs from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods! Spanning the Mesozoic era, it records 180 million years of geographical history! You can also find fossils of extinct creatures, including dinosaur footprints!"

The young man's eyes gleamed with memories.

It was obvious that he was Nick Flume, the over 600-year-old man whom Phoebe had mentioned who had stopped taking the Elixir of Life.

He led everyone into a cozy little house and sat down on a soft sofa.

Seven cups of hot flower tea and pastries were laid out on the table.

"And Perenelle?" Dumbledore asked, sipping his herbal tea.

Nick ruffled his hair. "She's trying on new glasses. Oh, and she also has a gift for your sister."

"Also?" Dumbledore frowned. "You mean that castle is already a gift from you. You don't need to spend any more money?"

Nick laughed heartily; his mouth was small, but his laugh conveyed a sense of nonchalance. "I have a lot of things. In existing real history, no wizard has lived longer than me. Even if I gave your sister a gift every day, it would take a century to exhaust them all."

"This is even without me manufacturing new products."

"But you know me, what I love most is inventing and creating."

"I often watch Muggle shows to get inspiration."

"The flying saucer you arrived in is the same. It's a pity that I'm too old."

"If I were still young, still 300 years old, I would definitely take Perenelle to leave Earth and head to the vast universe."

"My temper is getting better and better. If I were 400 years old, I might have killed Voldemort on the spot if he had tried to provoke me."

"My emotions began to go numb, except for my love for Perenelle."

At this point, a black-haired woman with glasses, dressed in a black trench coat-like robe, took Nick's hand.

She blinked her pale purple eyes at Basil, "You're Basil Granger. The kid who makes Nick feel threatened?"

She ignored Flume's childish complaints, "No way! I'm not that childish!"

Instead, she continued, "I must say, even with these glasses on, you are still very charming. In my long life, I have never met a man as charming as you."

"This is none of your business!" Ariana grabbed Basil's arm. Basil is part of our organization! What does it have to do with you, old woman!

This woman, who was undoubtedly Perenelle, simply smiled kindly in response to Ariana's provocation.

She turned to Dumbledore. "Long time no see. The last time we met was last year, wasn't it?"

"I never expected you to start taking the Elixir of Life too. Is it for your sister?"

Dumbledore nodded. "I hope to stay with her for another hundred years."

"Unfortunately, the Philosopher's Stone is lost. I can only use the remaining potions as a base for cultivation."

"We can barely train about a hundred units."

Aberforth:??? So, of the three of us siblings, I was the first to die?

When the topic turned to her profession, Flume immediately forgot her jealousy. "Is it the blood of a phoenix? Or perhaps its feathers?"

Dumbledore: "It's a feather. This made him very angry. He hasn't left his office for almost a week. He's been turning his back to me all day."

"If blood is used, the drug will be too potent. If I take it, I'm afraid I'll become a child again."

Flume: "You should try it. It's very interesting. That's how I spent my 245 to 327 years. I was sometimes the son and sometimes the father. Perenelle enjoyed it too."

Perenelle shook his head. "No, I still don't feel comfortable calling you Daddy outside of bed."

Phoebe, covered in sweat: Is this something I can hear?
