Grindelwald is just as talented as Albus.
"I was fascinated by the idea of some elite wizards ruling Muggles at that time."
The corners of Dumbledore's mouth raised slightly, as if recalling that good time.
There will be no more tragedies like Ariana, no more wizards who died in Azkaban like Percival.
They have already made all the plans during a vacation.
Albus decided to take Ariana with him to accomplish this with Grindelwald.
But his wayward brother shows up.
Aberforth accused him of ignoring Ariana's feelings and only stubbornly thinking it was doing her best.
"Our argument escalated to the point where we both drew our wands."
Vincent knew Dumbledore was right, and so was his brother Aberforth.
The three Muggle boys who were wrong?
No, what was wrong was the antagonism between wizards and Muggles, born of ignorance.
"Gellert cast the Cruciatus Curse on Aberforth, and my wand was pointed at him."
Dumbledore bent down, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and placed it on Ariana's tombstone.
"We all overlooked one thing until she fell down and we stupidly stopped."
But it was too late, Arianna had already left.
Grindelwald ran away.
And at her funeral, Aberforth broke Albus' nose.
"I don't know whose spell it is. I once looked for it—asked Gellert, and he just smiled and shook his head and said he didn't know."
Albus and Grindelwald parted ways.
From then on, Arianna's guilt and regret have accompanied him all the way until now.
Vincent understood.
Since that day, Dumbledore has been stuck in the past.
He rejects any change, anything that disrupts the status quo.
"Professor, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."
Dumbledore shook his head lightly, "It wasn't his ideas that made me decide to fight against Gellert.
Over time, 'for the greater good' has completely become an excuse. "
If you want to achieve a career, you cannot avoid some dilemmas.
Vincent looked at the tombstone of Aurelius Dumbledore, "Professor, who is this?"
"The real master of Fawkes." Dumbledore stood up, "He is another tragedy of our family."
He seemed to have no intention of telling the story.
But based on Ariana's story alone, Vincent has solved the doubts that have plagued him for a long time.
Dumbledore would not initiate change, but he would not object to others doing so.
What he opposed was Grindelwald, who deviated midway, and Voldemort, who was wrong at the beginning.
"Professor, I will not make a decision that I regret for the rest of my life."
"very good!"
……
……
Three days later, the Surrey County Court accepted Harry's case.
Eric used a little relationship to make the whole trial process go very fast.
The night before the trial, Harry still didn't know what choice to make.
forgive?
Still don't forgive?
He wanted to find someone to talk to, but whether it was the Wayne family or the Weasley family, all the answers were to let him follow his heart.
"Ron, I can't sleep."
"Come on, you've woken me up for the seventh time."
Harry, who was sitting on the bed, nudged him, "I'm going to court tomorrow, and I haven't decided what to do yet."
"Do what you want -" Ron replied feebly.
"You might as well toss a coin before you go in, after all, it's decided by fate."
Harry stopped.
He didn't look like he was bothered about what to choose, but he seemed to be looking for an excuse to convince himself.
9am, Surrey County Court.
There were many people present at the hearing, and most of them were wizards.
The well-known reporter Rita was of course present.
Vincent smiled at her.
She returned a wider smile.
The judge in charge of the case didn't pay much attention at first, until he answered a call from a captain.
Serious cases like child abuse must be taken seriously!
It took a total of less than a week from acceptance to trial.
The Weasleys and the Waynes sat in the second row, followed by the Grangers and the Diggorys.
The people in the front row were not the relatives of the Dursley family, but Dumbledore, Fudge and other bigwigs.
"Connelly, I think there's a lot we can learn from their laws."
"That's why you brought the whole Wizengamot here?"
"It's about Harry's future."
Fudge took a deep look at Dumbledore, "Albus, you have to know how difficult it is to amend the law."
"I know, but everything is constantly changing."
"Let's talk about it later." Fudge stopped talking and turned his attention to the two defendants.
No amount of excuses could change the fact that Petunia and Vernon were Harry's only family.
"Defendant, since you are unwilling to support the plaintiff, why do you keep him at home?"
Petunia didn't answer the judge's question directly, but Vernon said that there was a difficulty that he couldn't tell.
"Family, you are family." The judge shook his head and looked at the restless Harry.
"Plaintiff, do you agree with the defendant's statement about 'punishment'?"
"I—I—" Harry clenched his fists nervously.
If he approves, uncle and aunt will be punished by law.
If you don't agree, it is equivalent to forgiving them.
"I don't agree!" Harry gradually let go of his fist.
"But they are the only family I have and I don't want to see them go to jail for that."
Petunia and Vernon looked at him in horror.
"Your Honor, I believe they will make a change."
After all that had happened, Harry still considered them family.
Evelyn shook her head slightly at her lawyer friend.
Now that a choice has been made, the same thing should be avoided from happening again.
"Your Honor, I am filing a supervisory order against the two defendants in court until my client comes of age."
"Is there anyone to supervise?"
"Yes, Mr. Eric Wayne."
After a supervision order is issued, the supervisor has a duty to advise, help and support the child.
In the process of implementation, if there is an emergency, you can also apply to the court for a decree, or take emergency protective measures.
With it, if Dursley wanted to treat Harry like before, he had to get past Eric first.
The judge granted the application for a supervision order.
"Defendant, are you willing to accept?"
Petunia and Vernon looked at each other silently, and finally nodded silently.
They may have expected this ending a long time ago, and may have made all the psychological preparations.
But agreeing to accept the supervision order actually means accepting Harry.
