Chapter 840: Ariana
At night in Godric’s Hollow, Dumbledore and Grindelwald had eloped... well, more precisely, they’d made a secret Blood Pact in the barn and dashed off together—but "eloped" was the simpler way to put it.
Meanwhile, on the roof of the Dumbledore family home, a teenage girl was clambering out of the attic window, using both hands and feet to reach the rooftop.
"What was that thing you were wearing earlier?" she asked curiously as she walked up beside Kyle. "I couldn’t see you at all."
"It’s a Cloak of Invisibility," Kyle replied. "Also called an Invisibility Cloak. A little magical item that makes others unable to see you."
He took the cloak and draped it over Ariana’s shoulders. The girl gasped in amazement.
"Ah! I really disappeared!"
She quickly covered her mouth, glancing nervously toward a nearby window. Only when she confirmed there was no movement did she exhale in relief, her eyes returning to the half of her body that had vanished.
"What’s wrong?" Kyle turned his head slightly as well. If he was right, that window belonged to Aberforth’s room...
"It’s nothing," Ariana said quickly, shaking her head. In a hushed voice, she added, "We should keep our voices down. Otherwise we’ll wake my brother Aberforth—and he’s scary when he’s angry."
"It’s fine," Kyle said with a smile, pulling a Screaming Book from his pocket.
It was a product from Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, modeled after the gimmicks found in the Restricted Section of the library. The moment he opened it, a piercing shriek burst out from the pages.
Ariana jumped in fright and turned to rush back into the attic.
