Chapter 607 Dumbledore’s Past
Andy looked around.
This is a very ordinary room, but the interior is neatly arranged and looks very clean. It seems a bit out of place compared to the dirty environment downstairs.
Andy noticed that there was a portrait hanging on one wall of the room. The painting was of a girl who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.
After glancing at the portrait, Andy immediately understood.
The girl in the painting should be Dumbledore's sister, Ariana Dumbledore.
"Mr. Collins, please sit down!"
Dumbledore motioned Andy to sit down, and he walked to the portrait and looked at the girl in the painting without saying anything for a long time.
The girl also looked at Dumbledore and smiled slightly at him.
Andy didn't speak or sit down.
At this time, Andy felt a little embarrassed staying here. Faced with an old man who had lost a relative, Andy was unwilling to reveal his sad past again.
I didn't pay much attention to it before, but this time in front of the portrait of his dead sister, Andy really couldn't ask some questions, especially those involving Dumbledore's sister.
To be honest, Andy kind of wanted to leave.
Andy couldn't handle this situation.
"She is my sister, Ariana… Ariana Dumbledore."
After a long silence, Dumbledore spoke first: "I'm glad you can still consider the mood of this old man."
Andy: "..."
People become better with age, that's Dumbledore.
"I have a sister too, so I understand how you feel."
Andy shrugged and said, "Professor, why don't we talk some other time?"
Dumbledore turned his back to Andy and said in a sad tone, "You are a qualified brother, much more qualified than me. If I could have noticed Ariana's mood back then, maybe something like that wouldn't have happened."
Andy was silent after hearing this.
As a boy, Dumbledore really lacked care for his family. During every vacation, he would lock himself in the attic, count his awards, and correspond with the most famous magic masters in the world.
And Andy lived an extra life. In this regard, he must have considered it more comprehensively than the high-spirited Dumbledore.
This is nothing to be proud of.
As for words of comfort... Dumbledore must have heard a lot of them.
"I think she must like you very much and be proud of having such an outstanding brother like you."
Out of etiquette, Andy comforted her, "No one wants an accident like that to happen. I don't think she will blame you."
"Thank you!" said Dumbledore.
After a pause, Dumbledore slowly narrated: "When she was very young, she accidentally performed magic and was seen by three Muggle boys. They did terrible things to her. From then on, she lost all interest in magic. control……"
"The magic is inside her, almost driving her crazy."
"My father taught those Muggles a lesson, but in order to prevent Ariana from being imprisoned in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies for the rest of her life, he didn't say why."
"He was imprisoned in Azkaban for this!"
Dumbledore told the past events in a calm tone. Although Andy had already heard it once, he still listened quietly and did not interrupt.
At the end of the story, Dumbledore met Grindelwald, and the two had a very good chat, and even ignored Ariana because of it.
After his brother Aberforth came back from vacation, he blamed Dumbledore for not taking good care of Ariana and had a conflict with Grindelwald.
That night, three people fought in the yard.
During the melee, someone’s magic suddenly hit Ariana…
What a sad story!
Looking at Dumbledore in front of him, Andy suddenly thought of a sentence - growth requires paying a price.
This price was so painful that Dumbledore still cannot forgive himself for his original stupidity to this day. But it was this painful price that shaped Dumbledore today.
Andy suddenly felt a little lucky that Dumbledore wasn't like Obito (I want to create a world with Ariana), otherwise I don't know what the world would be like.
After telling the story, Dumbledore slowly turned around.
He looked at Andy with slightly deep eyes, "Collins...it seems like you have succeeded!"
"Yes!" Andy admitted frankly.
Andy was not surprised that Dumbledore would know his secret. After all, Andy had borrowed many related books from the restricted book area in order to look up information.
Records are kept of these.
As long as Mrs. Pince, the librarian, knew about it, Dumbledore would naturally know about it.
"But... there are hidden dangers in Obscurus after all..."
Since Dumbledore mentioned it first, Andy no longer worried about that, and spoke out the problems he encountered and his guesses in one breath.
There were only two things Andy wanted to know.
First, the magic of love.
Andy believes that 'love' is the key factor in the fusion of soul and magic. In this case, Andy naturally wants to find out what kind of power 'love' is.
The second is the issue related to the Obscurus.
Can a magically transformed body better carry the power of the Obscurus?
Credence lived into his twenties.
Ariana lived to be fourteen, and her death was caused by being struck by the spell, not silently backlashing.
The Dumbledore family... is still somewhat capable.
Andy has always suspected that the ancestors of the Dumbledore family had used magic transformation to steal the magic power of the Phoenix.
In addition, with strong willpower, can the hidden dangers of Obscurus be avoided?
After talking about his problem, Andy spread his hands and said: "I don't feel any discomfort now, and all I can think of are these two possibilities."
Will, and magical transformation!
"like……"
Dumbledore looked at Andy with his eyes under the lens, "Love is the purest emotion in human nature. When you understand love, you will give everything to the person you love without asking for anything in return."
"Even if it means your life!"
"If you look at it from a magical perspective, love is the purest magical force. It is purer than any other force."
"Love is deep in your heart...Collins!"
is that so……
Andy understood what Dumbledore meant.
Despite those beautiful descriptions, love is a pure power of the heart...and the heart controls the magic.
According to this logical relationship, love is indeed very strong!
The killing curse can only take your life.
But love can make you willing to give everything for the one you love, even your own life.
That's why Lily's protective magic can deflect the killing curse!
but……
Andy frowned slightly.
This explanation has nothing to do with the magic of soul fusion!
