Chapter 264
“When I think back to when I was about to return home, Ariana looked at me with such a strange look, and Aberforth mercilessly accused me of not taking good care of my sister. It turned out that he was right, but I didn’t think so at all at the time.”
“However, Gellert also said that I should not be dragged down by Ariana. I should leave this house and go out into the vast world to realize my ideals and ambitions. I will become the greatest white wizard in the world.”
“Facts have proved that he is right, and I have indeed become the greatest white wizard in the world.”Harry waved his wand coolly, summoned a cup, and then took out a bottle of vodka from the cloth bag, slowly poured half a cup and handed it to him.
At this time, Dumbledore had a story to tell, so Harry naturally had to take out good wine to entertain him.
Unfortunately, no peanuts and melon seeds were prepared.
Dumbledore took the wine glass and took a small sip:”Perhaps it was the resentment and conflict that had accumulated over a long period of time. One day, the three of us had a fierce argument in the room.���But no one expected that Ariana was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, and then she lost control!”
“The Obscurus suddenly erupted, but at this moment, a spell suddenly appeared and Ariana fell down. At that time, the three of us were using spells to eliminate the Obscurus, and no one knew who cast the spell.”
“You really don’t know?” Harry gently shook the glass in his hand, staring at the transparent liquid in the glass.
Dumbledore was startled at first, his expression dimmed instantly, and the whole person seemed to have lost his luster:”It’s all my fault, the spell was cast by me……”
“Until I watched Ariana fall, the regret that surged like a tide in my heart completely overwhelmed me in an instant. It was a regret that went deep into my bones and was difficult to describe in words. It was as if countless small insects were gnawing at my heart, making me feel so painful that I wanted to die.”
“At that moment, I stared blankly at her fallen figure, my mind was blank, only the endless self-blame and regret were churning wildly. I hated myself for not being able to stop all this from happening, why I let such a tragedy befall her. That deep regret followed me like a shadow, and every time I thought of it in the days that followed, I was so heartbroken that I could hardly breathe.”
“It was also on that day that I lost my family and my lover.”
Harry raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp:”So you were tempted by the resurrection stone just now, and you fell so deeply into it, because only when Ariana was resurrected could you reunite with your family, and then have the courage to reconcile with your lover.”
“Perhaps.” Dumbledore sighed deeply.
Harry continued to ask:”Is this the reason why you imprisoned yourself in the castle? It’s not just that.”
Dumbledore also drank the wine in one gulp, his face full of melancholy:”After that day, I didn’t have the face to see Aberforth, and I didn’t want to see Gellert again, so I returned to Hogwarts as a professor of Transfiguration.”
“And he still persists in pursuing his ideal, trying to make wizards the rulers of ordinary people.”
Harry couldn’t help but sigh:”The ambition is really great, but judging from the current situation, he has failed after all.”
“Almost succeeded!” Dumbledore’s eyes lit up again when he talked about Gellert.
“Compared to Tom, his influence is more extensive, and there are countless people supporting him. I have said before that he has great personal charm and will never rely on simple and crude means such as killing to achieve his goals.”
“However, the one who stopped him from achieving his dream was me!”
“Because of him, I failed to fulfill my brotherly duties and responsibilities, and thus hurt Ariana.”
“But after that, I hurt Gellert again because of the so-called order!”
“He and I once made a blood pact that we must not hurt each other.”
At this point, his eyes became particularly gentle, as if he had returned to the time when he was with Gellert.
“When we made the vow, we were just joking because we both firmly believed that opposing each other would never happen between us!”
“Our love is no less than anyone else’s!”
“But I failed to fulfill even this most basic oath. I dueled with him, and he was no weaker than me. However, because he loved me deeply, he admitted defeat and imprisoned himself in Nurmengard.”
“Now when I think back on my life, it is a complete failure. I have not been able to protect any of my loved ones.”
“Even though I am powerful, this seems to have become a factor that affects my life.”
This greatest white wizard has a failed life without any success………..(To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
So that’s how it is. Because of his own fault, he lost his relatives and loved ones one after another. The blows he suffered caused the old man to lose all his fighting spirit and will.
“Maybe you think you have done a lot of things wrong, but in the eyes of others, you have done a lot of things right.”Harry looked at him and said seriously.
Dumbledore was stunned at first, then smiled bitterly and said,”Really? What about the strongest wizard, the chief wizard status, etc.……”
“It’s not that.” Harry interrupted him,”You trained many outstanding wizards in Hogwarts, and when Tom launched a bloody battle, it was you who resisted Tom and saved the wizarding world.”
“I am the savior, but you are the one”[]
Dumbledore smiled bitterly and said,”Harry, thank you for comforting me. You see, according to our age, I should be the one to comfort you, but I failed miserably.”
“That’s because you are in the middle of the situation and can’t see it clearly.”Harry waved his hand and said
“You just looked like you were dying. You are already very old. If you are determined to die, no matter how powerful you are, you will still age and die quickly.”Harry was merciless.
Magic is essentially a product of the mind.
If the mind has the intention to die, then his magic will slowly change.
Strong magic will accelerate his death.
“Do you still want to use the Resurrection Stone to revive Ariana?”
Dumbledore didn’t say anything, but the flash in his eyes revealed his thoughts.
He wanted it very much.
As long as Ariana came back to life, he could get back the most important things in his life that he had lost, love and family affection.
“This is what Tom left behind. If the resurrection stone really has the power to resurrect, he wouldn’t be like this now, hiding from you everywhere.”
“It turns out that he has definitely tried it, but it’s no use, the Resurrection Stone doesn’t have the ability to resurrect a person!”
“He knows your weakness very well, Dumbledore, and he deliberately put the resurrection stone and the ring together as a deadly weapon for you.”
Dumbledore remained silent, but the hope in his eyes slowly returned to calm.
After telling the secret that had been hidden in his heart, the pain was still there, but Dumbledore felt that he was indeed much more comfortable.
