Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 2007: It’s really easy to die

Aberforth has never liked places that are too bright.

So whether it was in the pig’s head bar before, or the house in this refuge community now, there are only one or two lights left in the house.

Plus the thick curtains block the light, even in the daytime when it’s dawn, his house is still very dim.

It is now in the afternoon, and Aberforth is counting the supplies in the home in the storage room next to the kitchen-since the most basic food and water are regularly delivered and supplied in secret by the Blois family, normal consumption is nothing for the time being. So worried. It's just that since he reopened the bar here, and provided everyone with a place to kill time and gather people to discuss matters, the wine is always prepared, right?

It's a pity that the stock he brought out of the wine cellar of the Pig's Head at the time is now running low.

"...the flame whiskey is gone? Huh, that **** bald dog sneaked up to me again to steal alcohol and drink...Let's come back and see if I have to beat him out!"

Seeing that the old man stretched out his hand and pushed the barrel, he heard the sloshing sound of liquid almost gone, he hummed and cursed, then frowned and picked up the empty barrel. Put it on the other side.

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded from the direction of the back door, and the familiar rhythm made Aberforth slightly raised his eyebrows.

"So early today?"

Unconsciously, Aberforth has gradually become accustomed to the existence of Charlotte-although the appearance of this little girl is not like his sister Ariana, who died in the early years, her personality is even more so. do not. But I have to say that the care and patience in some small places do have some similarities between the two.

Perhaps...this is the biggest reason why Aberforth, who doesn't like being too close to others, can gradually accept Charlotte's help by his side!

But it is worth mentioning that the most recent Charlotte is more and more similar to the once introverted and silent Ariana!

"Come in!" Aberforth heard a knock on the door, and answered loudly even without looking back, "People who come every day, it’s necessary to come here for the first time. Knock on the door?"

However, Charlotte did not give any answer. She just came in silently from the back door of the next kitchen, put on her apron and sleeves without saying a word, twisted the rag and wiped the table over the bar in the living room.

Aberforth paused for a while, stood there and listened for a few seconds, but in the end he could only shook his head slightly.

After the remaining wine in the storage room was counted, he also went to the outside living room again. Seeing that Charlotte was still cleaning the table and washing the wine glasses, he paused slightly before saying:

"When you are ready, take a break. There will be many people coming tonight. It is estimated that it will be late... I will go upstairs to catch up. Don't call me if it's okay."

After that, he turned and walked out of the bar, and walked straight to the side stairs. But before he stepped on the first step, he heard a soft "click" suddenly coming from the front door.

Because the front door hadn't opened yet, it was probably someone who came over and pushed the door down to make such a movement-in short, it seemed that a certain "guest" had also arrived early.

"Let me go."

Charlotte said softly, then put down the rag in his hand and walked to the door. And now, the one sentence outside began to knock on the door.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk--"

"Crack."

When Charlotte opened the door to take a look, he found Sirius standing outside. When he saw Charlotte, he also smiled at each other.

"Oh, are you here too? Good afternoon... I thought I had to go in through the back door again today, and Aberforth would take a nap in the afternoon almost every day."

As he said this, he walked in naturally. But soon, he saw that Aberforth was standing in front of the stairs, looking at himself unhappy.

"I don’t welcome anyone who steals alcohol here! Get out now, don’t let me throw you out by myself!"

"Hey, Aberforth, I just want to come for a drink today as normal."

Sirius had just returned from Boothbarton at this moment. If he changed someone else, he would definitely want to ask him about Mrs. Maxim's letter immediately. And this is undoubtedly what he is having a headache.

Fortunately, Aberforth is not curious about those things, he doesn't need to worry too much for the time being. And obviously, Aberforth has become much more tolerant than in the past.

"Thieves don’t distinguish between today and yesterday!"

Although he said so, Aberforth didn't really want to drive him away. Seeing Sirius walking towards the bar, he didn't rush upstairs at all, but turned around and walked back to the storage room.

"The same way!"

Sirius added, but Aberforth ignored it.

In a short time, he carried a wine bottle to the back of the bar, took a glass at random, and then put it heavily in front of Sirius.

"Fire whiskey has been drunk by a bald dog who is used to being a thief. Now there is only ordinary monk whiskey." Aberforth said impatiently, "I want to drink it myself."

"Of course, when did you not pour yourself here?"

Not caring about "balding dogs" or something, Sirius drew out his wand and tapped it on the rim of the glass. Accompanied by a few soft sounds of "clanging", several ice cubes jumped and fell into the cup.

After pouring himself a small cup, Sirius raised his neck and drank it, then slowly exhaled a suffocating breath.

Aberforth, who is accustomed to observing guests, has naturally seen that there are worries in his heart, but...now, who doesn't have enough worries to pile up! This situation is not surprising at all.

Otherwise, why would the wine in his storage room decrease so quickly?

"By the way, Aberforth, I want to ask you a little question." Sirius poured some amber liquor, took a sip, and then suddenly seemed to think of something. Without raising his head, he said, "When Albus left...what did you feel in your heart?"

"Are you sure you want to listen?"

Aberforth heard this~IndoMTL.com~ he couldn't help but glanced at him with a frown, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he curled his lips and said:

"It's very simple-it's so easy to die!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Sirius was choked.

Although he knew somehow, there seemed to be some contradictions between the Dumbledore brothers, but now hearing Aberforth's answer, he was still a little speechless.

Regardless of whether this is serious or not, at least...It is probably not something ordinary people can do to describe the death of one's own brother in this way.

"Forget it," Sirius waved his hand and shook his head. "Forget it, you can't use it as a reference."

After that, he immediately took another sip of the wine and swallowed all the helplessness in his heart.
