Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 531 Abufoss has a child. Abufoss, what about your child?
Dumbledore was speechless; he just stood there, stunned.

Before the bright window, the quiet girl, just like in countless midnight dreams, sat there quietly, looking at him with heartbreaking eyes.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Two perfectly synchronized voices suddenly came from the doorway.

It turned out that Dumbledore and Aberforth had both slapped themselves at the same time.

"pain……"

"I'm not dreaming..."

The two brothers murmured to themselves.

Aurelius, who came in later, looked at his father and uncle in shock, not understanding why they had suddenly slapped themselves.

Could it be that Li Weide has come up with some strange curse that makes people slap themselves in the face again?
"Brother Abufusi, Brother Abufusi..."

The girl stood up lightly, like a bird returning to its nest, and rushed into Aberforth's arms, then hugged Dumbledore tightly beside her.

"Ariana! You...you're really alive! I'm not dreaming!" Dumbledore exclaimed, tears welling in his eyes.

Feeling the warmth of the girl in his arms, Dumbledore felt as if he were in a dream.

“But… how is this possible? You… how could you possibly be alive?” Aberforth beside him was already starting to stammer incoherently.

"Cough cough!"

Just as the two brothers were overjoyed, two coughs were suddenly heard.

"You two brats..."

The two brothers suddenly looked up at the source of the voice, and then they froze again.

The two brothers saw Ariana as soon as they entered the room, so much so that they didn't notice that there was someone else sitting on the sofa.

A familiar yet unfamiliar person...

“You…you are…” Aberforth rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"What's wrong? You don't even recognize your own father?" Percival asked sternly.

“Father? You…you’re still alive?” Abu Fusi was dumbfounded.

Percival felt a surge of displeasure upon hearing this. He said to his sister, "You're alive!" but when he saw himself, he said, "You're still alive?"

Those two bastards!
"What? You don't want me to still be alive?"

“This…” Aberforth looked at Dumbledore and asked instinctively, “This can’t be fake, can it?”

"I...let me take a good look," Dumbledore said, somewhat uncertainly.

Percival raised his eyebrows slightly... He had no doubts when he saw his sister was alive, but when he saw that he was alive, his first reaction was that it was fake?
"Tsk..." Percival finally couldn't hold back any longer, stood up and started pulling out his belt...

Upon hearing this familiar gesture, Dumbledore and Aberforth immediately felt a jolt.

The painful memories, which had been absent for half a century, surged up in my heart once again!

"It's definitely Dad!" Aberforth rushed over excitedly, hugging Percival tightly... and most importantly, controlling his father's hands to prevent him from hitting him...

Percival struggled for a moment before realizing he couldn't break free from Aberforth at all. The man was incredibly strong now; how could Percival, whose body had been hollowed out by Azkaban, possibly escape?

"Dad...you're really alive, that's wonderful!"

“Dad…it’s so good! I never thought I’d see you again in this lifetime…”

"You two brats...you've really made something of yourselves!" Percival lowered the belt he had raised with a complicated expression, letting the two brothers hug him tightly.

Although the two elderly men in front of me, now over fifty, are completely different from the little boy who was once shorter than my belt buckle.

But... at this moment, past memories are gradually merging together...

“Children…I’m back,” Percival said softly.

“Dad… welcome home. You’ve been away for so long…” Dumbledore’s voice trembled.

Ariana quietly approached, opened her arms, and gently hugged her two brothers from behind.

In a corner of the meeting room, Li Weide was setting up a camera, the latest product from Hydra, and excitedly recording this scene.

Tom, who was standing beside him watching, was already in tears, looking like an emotionally broken fool...

Li Weide glanced at him sideways and couldn't help but sigh.

Voldemort... what has he been turned into?
Ugh, that's so embarrassing...

Aurelius was completely dumbfounded.

In other words, this man who doesn't look as old as his father is his grandfather?

That little girl, who looked even younger than Li Weide and seemed very familiar, was his aunt…

There was a portrait of Ariana in the Pig's Head Bar, so Aurelius did recognize the little girl as his aunt.

But... that's where the problem lies!

So many years have passed! Even if my aunt isn't dead, she shouldn't be this young!

Aurelius turned his head and saw Livid hiding in the corner.

He couldn't help but walk over, asking, "What exactly happened?"

"Hide for a bit, you're blocking the camera..." Li Weide waved his hand to make Aurelius move aside.

"Uh..." Aurelius had no choice but to move aside, even if he had many questions, he could only hold back for now.

However, Aurelius's question reminded Aberforth.

He quickly waved to Aurelius and said, "Aurelius, come here. Let your grandfather and aunt take a good look at you!"

“Huh? Oh…” Aurelius had no choice but to walk over.

Percival looked at Aurelius with delight, “Oh my, wonderful! In the blink of an eye, I have a grandson... and he’s so big already, so handsome, he looks just like me when I was young!”

Ariana timidly sized up this younger woman who looked older than herself.

"Hehehe..." Abufoss laughed proudly.

"Aberforth, where is your wife?"

“Uh…she…she’s long gone,” Aberforth said somberly.

“I’m sorry, Aberforth…” Percival said somewhat sadly.

Strictly speaking, he had only recently experienced the pain of losing his wife... so he could understand Aberforth's feelings very well.

“That’s true… You’re both at this age, having children is perfectly normal… So…” Percival looked at Dumbledore, “Albus, what about you? Do you have children?”

Dumbledore's expression froze instantly. "I...I'm not married yet, so..."

“Heh heh… how could he possibly have a child? He’s a… um!” “Aberforth!” Dumbledore quickly covered Aberforth’s mouth.

"Albus, why did you cover Aberforth's mouth?" Percival looked at Dumbledore suspiciously.

Dumbledore had no choice but to let go.

"Father, what happened? How did you all come back to life?"

Dumbledore asked the question that concerned him most, while also managing to change the subject.

Sure enough, Percival's attention was immediately diverted.

Because Li Weide's kindness to him was so great, he couldn't wait to tell everyone about Li Weide's help to him.

“It was Wade who helped us,” Percival said to Wade, who was standing in the corner.

Dumbledore turned to look at the corner of the meeting room, and that's when he realized that Rivald and Tom had been hiding there... in everyone's blind spot.

Li Weide had no choice but to peek out from behind the enormous camera and wave.

“Wade… what is going on?” Dumbledore asked.

“Uh… Tom and I didn’t really go anywhere during the two weeks we were gone. We just went on a time-travel trip and… rescued your father and sister… Of course, don’t worry, I saved them at the very moment they were about to die. People in that era thought they were already dead, so it won’t affect the course of history,” Li Weide explained, rubbing his hands together.

"what!"

Dumbledore and Aberforth stared at Rivendare in shock once again.

Everyone knows how dangerous time travel is...

However, Li Weide actually completed the time travel in just half a month, and even brought back the people from the past, all without suffering any harm himself.

They accomplished a feat that no one had ever done before...

Dumbledore looked at Rivald, his eyes welling up with tears. He remembered his conversation with Rivald on Christmas Day.

At that time, he asked Li Weide with great hope whether his sister could be resurrected.

At the time, the answer he received was no...

Undoubtedly, this answer disappointed Dumbledore, but that was to be expected. He had only asked with a sliver of hope, so he didn't blame Rivald at all.

After all, how could humans possibly resurrect the dead? That's a power reserved for gods...

Therefore, after that day, Dumbledore had completely abandoned the idea of ​​forcing someone to do something against their will.

Unexpectedly... today, Li Weide actually brought his deceased sister and father back to him alive!

In other words, Li Weide did not give up after that conversation!
Driven by this unrealistic wish, the child actually risked traveling through time!
“Wade, you silly boy, how could you take such a risk… I… I really shouldn’t have gone to talk to you. If something had happened to you because of my unrealistic wish…” Dumbledore couldn’t finish his sentence.

At this moment, he felt only relief at Li Weide's successful return and joy at his father and sister's safe return.

Li Wade suddenly realized that Dumbledore thought he had remembered Dumbledore's wish after their conversation on Christmas Day, and then, for the sake of that wish, he had specifically researched the time machine, successfully traveled through time, and brought back Dumbledore's sister and father...

Well, I must say, it was a wonderful misunderstanding.

“It’s what I should do, Professor… No matter the outcome, I won’t regret it.” Li Weide immediately seized the opportunity…

Tom, standing nearby, remained silent in tacit agreement; such situations were already commonplace for him.

If Li Weide truly possesses such ability, then he deserves his success...

“However… those souls we saw at the Resurrection Stone…” Dumbledore said with a hint of doubt.

"Oh... the ghosts seen with the Resurrection Stone aren't real. They're just reflections of the holder's memories of the deceased, making those loved ones appear before you as ghosts. Otherwise, why wouldn't ghosts appear before me when I use the Resurrection Stone?" Li Weide calmly lied.

Death had said that what appeared before Dumbledore that day was the true ghost...

However, if we accept that they are real ghosts, then Livid's lie that he only went back in time to bring back Ariana and the others would be completely exposed.

However, given the story behind the Resurrection Stone, Dumbledore had no doubt about Rivid's account.

In fact, Li Weide wasn't entirely lying. If Death hadn't tampered with things, the ghosts that appeared using the Resurrection Stone weren't entirely real.

"So that's how it is... So you never really died." Dumbledore felt his heart, which had been empty for so many years, completely filled with happiness and joy.

“Thank you, Wade,” Dumbledore said, then looked at Tom beside him, “Thank you too, Tom.”

Tom shook his head and said, "No need to thank me, Professor. I just accidentally stepped into Wade's teleportation circle and ended up going with him. I didn't actually do anything..."

Tom cleverly shifted the blame for his two-week absence to this wonderful accident, so that no one could blame him for skipping school for two weeks.

“Then I must thank you, Tom, you’ve witnessed all of this. And… your presence by Wade’s side will certainly provide him with some strength and support. Sometimes, loneliness is humanity’s greatest enemy,” Dumbledore said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, it’s all thanks to Tom. Otherwise, I would have been terrified to travel through time all by myself,” Li Weide chimed in.

Tom glanced at him. If he didn't know the truth, he would have been fooled by the guy's convincing acting.

Luckily, this guy was clever enough to hide Caroline before Dumbledore and the others arrived, otherwise they would have been exposed immediately...

Saying that Caroline is Miravia's grandmother or something can only fool the emotionally charged Percival and his group.

If Dumbledore finds out... then he'll be exposed immediately.

Didn't you say you didn't change history? How could bringing someone from the past who's still alive back to the present not change history?
Dumbledore didn't ask any further questions about that, but instead turned to his father and asked how Rivendare had managed to rescue them.

Percival immediately began recounting how Livid had previously helped them. He particularly emphasized Livid's magical abilities.

During the rescue, Li Wade's actions were impeccable, leaving Dumbledore and Aberforth in awe.

Whether it's taking Percival away silently or rescuing Ariana in the nick of time while keeping everyone in the dark... those are not things that ordinary wizards can do.

“Without a doubt, Wade is now stronger than me. It’s fortunate that he graduated early, otherwise, I, as his professor, would be in a rather awkward position,” Dumbledore said cheerfully.

“I’m very pleased that the Dumbledore family is doing quite well now. Albus, you’ve become a professor and vice-principal, your future is bright. Aberforth isn’t doing badly either, he’s become a tavern owner. Even if we really die, seeing how well you’ve done for us now, we can rest in peace,” Percival said with emotion.

“Father, don’t say that. You’ve been away from home for too long… I suggest we have a meal together,” Dumbledore said.

“Very well! That’s exactly what I was thinking… It’s been a long time since our family has eaten together,” Percival said cheerfully. “Aurelius, he seems like a fine young man… By the way, Albus, why aren’t you married? If you had children, they would be this big by now. That would make our family even more complete…”

"Heh... He likes men, so where would he get a child from?" Aberforth added insult to injury.

The previously noisy conference room suddenly fell silent...

Percival and Ariana stared at Dumbledore in shock.

Even though this was very much in line with the British way of life, it still greatly shocked Percival and Ariana.

A wry smile appeared on Dumbledore's face; in the end, he couldn't escape it after all...

Suddenly, Ariana said weakly, "That man...could it be that boy named Gellert Grindelwald?"

At this, even Dumbledore's wry smile froze.

Percival silently picked up the belt he had just put down again.

"Where is that guy named Grindelwald now?"
