you mabe in love w Aberforth but it clearl states on page 454 and i qoute

"My own brother Aberforth was prosecuted for practing anappropriate charms on a goat. It was all over the papers but did Aberforth hide?NO, he did not he held his hesd high and went about his business as uaual!
of corse I'm not entirely sure that he can read so that may not have been bravery.'
you know what that sounds like to me.
It sounds like he was making with a goat read it for your self Aberforth sounds like a bumpkin and those bumpkins do wierd things W/O magic think what they would do w magic
sorry to point out the wiredness of the book is that not what i was told to do
