Dumbledore fell silent again. After a long time, he said,"I can't make a decision on this matter for the time being. Besides, I still have to see Lily.”
"Do you want to confirm if there are any flaws or loopholes in this resurrection?”Leon asked.
Dumbledore didn't say anything, but his eyes flickered. Leon knew that this was a sign of guilt.
Sure enough, it wasn't that the old bee didn't want to revive Ariana. He was just afraid of the hidden price of resurrection and the fact that Ariana would leave again, causing him to suffer again.
The older one lived, the more timid they became. The existence of this sentence meant that what it stated was the truth. The various experiences and horizons brought by the years had also brought about more steadiness. Of course, steadiness was just a nice way of putting it. In fact, in summary, the more one knew, the more worries one had, and the more cowardly one would be.
It was obvious that he had an obsession that was no less than Snape's, but Dumbledore had lived long enough and seen more. His strength and knowledge made him very fearful and wary of death and the Grim Reaper. He did not think that the Grim Reaper would obediently release the souls he had already obtained.
Just like the three brothers represented by the three Sacred Artifacts, only the third brother survived to the end, but in the end, he inevitably walked into the arms of Death. This was Death's plan, and the fairy tale must have been beautified. Although the third brother appeared very calm at the end of the story, Dumbledore knew that the outcome of playing with Death would not be good.
Leon shook his head at the thought. If he had known that this guy was so cowardly, he would have gone to the Hog's Head Bar to find Aberforth, the second son of the Dumbledore family and Ariana's favorite brother. If Aberforth knew about Ariana's resurrection, he would probably be as fanatical as Snape.
Although the more people who knew about it, the greater the threat of the news being exposed, considering that Dumbledore really intended to resurrect Ariana, as Ariana's only relative, Aberforth would probably know about it after Ariana was resurrected. Therefore, it was not a problem to expose it in advance.
"There's no need to go to Aberforth. All he has left is a bar and a goat. He can't pay the price.”Dumbledore seemed to have sensed Leon's thoughts.
"You used Soul Capture?" Upon hearing this, Leon didn't even bother with honorifics. He took out his wand and looked at Dumbledore.
"No, there's no need. I've lived for too long, so I'm quite familiar with observing people's expressions.”Dumbledore explained with a smile,"I noticed you looking out the window just now, in the direction of Hogsmeade."”
Leon felt a headache coming on. If he deliberately controlled his expression, his acting would be able to crush the acting skills of all kinds of young hunks. However, if he unconsciously let his imagination run wild, he seemed to lose the ability to control his expression. This was not the first time someone had guessed his thoughts while he was thinking.
"I don't understand why you're so interested in resurrection. Maybe it's because of your bet with Death, or maybe it's because you're profitable. I don't know, but as long as I'm sure that this resurrection is safe, I won't give up this opportunity.”
Considering that Leon had asked Aberforth for help, Dumbledore was still the one who had to step in. At the same time, Dumbledore was also looking forward to the resurrection of Ariana, so Dumbledore made a promise to Leon to prevent Leon from disturbing his poor brother.
"Of course it's profitable." Now that Dumbledore had made it clear, Leon naturally would not continue to hide it. He and Dumbledore were like the System and Leon. They were both monopolizing transactions. The item was right there, and it was up to you to buy it or not. There was no way you could buy it from anywhere else, no matter how unwilling you were. The one who set the rules for buying and selling was the monopolist. How could someone who was monopolized play with the monopolist?
"I understand." Dumbledore heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Since Leon was doing this for his own benefit, it meant that Leon was prepared to pay his own price. This way, he would feel less burdened.
The two did not continue to communicate. They were now waiting for Lily and Snape to arrive. One wanted to see if the so-called resurrection was a real resurrection, and the other wanted to show the user experience of the previous customer to the next customer.
After a long time, the door guarded by the stone beast opened. Snape and Lily, who had changed into a fitting robe, appeared in the principal's office. Lily's expression was much more cheerful than when she had just been resurrected. As for Snape, his smile had not stopped since Lily's resurrection.
"Have you seen Harry? Have you grown a lot?" When Dumbledore saw Lily, he didn't greet her immediately. Instead, he started to chat about family matters, which made Leon roll his eyes.
This was one of the high-end conversational skills between people. It was just like two friends who had not seen each other for a long time. The first greeting was just a normal greeting. Perhaps it would take a long time to make their relationship return to its previous intimacy, but as long as you changed the first sentence to care for the other party, then the first sentence would basically make their relationship return to its original state, or even go further.
"Well, he's grown up. It's nice to see you again, Professor Dumbledore. Thank you for your care and help for Harry.”Leon could clearly see the gratification and respect in Lily's eyes.
This was why Old Bee was a sly old man in private, but on the surface, he was respected by countless people. He was good at controlling people's emotions and feelings, pulling in the relationship between the two. Although he had no ill intentions, this was the truth.
"Nice to meet you too, Lily. How does it feel to be resurrected?”Dumbledore stood up, hugged Lily, and asked with concern.
He seemed to care about Lily, but he was actually testing her feelings about the resurrection and whether there were any flaws after the resurrection. It was killing two birds with one stone. Leon, who was beside her, was already complaining endlessly in his heart.
"It's a little unreal, but it's the truth. My memory only stays at the moment before death. I don't have any memory of anything after that, including the world after death.”Lily sighed.
