Chapter 602 Dumbledore’S Past

"Oh, you Gryffindors..."

Levin shook his head slightly, with a playful smile on his lips, and then quickly cast an apologetic look at Hermione beside him.

"Sorry, Hermione, I didn't include you," he clarified, then turned his gaze to Harry. "In my opinion, part of what Rita disclosed is true, and part of it is her speculation and imagination, but no matter which part it is, it is worthless in my opinion——Of course, these of yours Worry is actually worthless.”

Seeing Harry's shocked expression, Levin smiled slightly,

"Rita Skeeter, she is a smart reporter. She knows how to cater to Fudge's wishes and how to capture the public's interest." Speaking of this, he sneered, "She cleverly concealed some truths and used false speculations. and inductive words, leading you into the thinking trap she wants you to fall into."

Levin's eyes became distant and deep, "Yes, Harry Potter, Dumbledore did have a deep friendship with Grindelwald. He was once addicted to the temptation of black magic, and even had the ambition to rule the wizarding and Muggle world. That 'for the greater good' thing did come from his mouth. But remember, people's minds change."

Speaking of this, Levin couldn't help but shook his head, "Regardless of whether Dumbledore's theory was right or wrong, he did have that thought. However, later, Dumbledore completely denied his previous beliefs. He realized that he He made mistakes, and was determined to correct and make up for the harm caused by him. In that duel, he defeated the person he once loved deeply, which was a complete break with his past. In the years that followed, he could no longer He has never been exposed to black magic, and he has proven his transformation and determination with his actions."

After saying that, Levin sighed deeply, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes, "To be honest, being able to recognize his own mistakes and correct them in time is really what I admire about Dumbledore."

Then, he turned to Harry and shook his head gently, "And you, as a supporter of Dumbledore, established the Dumbledore Army, but you were confused by his early mistakes, but ignored his final choice."

Harry was touched by Levin's words. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes shining with determination.

"Yes! Those things Dumbledore did were all mistakes he made when he was young! Rita's current malicious speculations are all based on his behavior when he was young. If Dumbledore really wanted to rule the wizarding world, he would have done it long ago. Even now The position of Minister of Magic was given to Fudge because he was unwilling to take it."

Harry seemed to be waking up from a dream. He broke away from the tangled thinking circle and found himself again.

He straightened his back and asked Levin excitedly: "Levin, since you said that, is Rita just making things up about sister Dumbledore?"

Levin shook his head slightly, "Dumbledore and his mother Kendra Dumbledore did imprison his sister Ariana Dumbledore."

When Harry again looked disappointed, Levin added: "What Rita said was true, but what she told you about the reason why Ariana Dumbledore was imprisoned was a malicious fiction. "

He explained: "Ariana is not a squib who cannot use magic. In fact, she is an Obscurial. "There is a powerful force living in her body - the Silence is the real reason why she is imprisoned."

"Obscura!" Hermione's voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of shock.

She looked at Harry and saw confusion written all over his face.

Hermione knew in her heart that Harry was indeed ignorant and knew nothing about this word. She shook her head slightly and began to explain the concept to Harry.

"Oscurus is a dark parasitic magical force." Hermione's tone was low and serious. "When a young wizard is forced to suppress his magic due to physical or psychological abuse, they will suffer extremely emotionally. Pain, thus giving birth to this kind of power. This kind of pain and helplessness is like being trapped in a dark abyss, unable to escape."

She paused to give Harry time to digest the information.

“When an Obscurial reaches an emotional and mental breaking point, they may lose control of their body and release the Obscurus within them.

Hermione continued, "The Obscurus is like an invisible, extremely destructive black mist that can sweep away everything in an instant. In extreme cases, the body of the Obscurus will even completely transform into the Obscurus and become an Pure destructive force.

Harry was dumbfounded, this information was too shocking for him.

"Then...what will happen when the Obscurus releases the Obscurus?" He couldn't help but ask.

"Their eyes will turn pure white and their body shape will become distorted." Hermione replied, "Although the Obscurus itself is invisible, it allows the Obscurial to interact with the world without physical contact. This kind of The power is completely out of the host's control, and any strong emotion may trigger its release, causing huge damage to the surroundings."

She sighed and added: "Normally, the Obscurial rarely live beyond ten years old. Their life is like a time bomb, which may end at any time due to uncontrollable Silence."

Harry felt palpitations in his heart, the existence of this force zone frightened him.

"But...but is there a way to control it? Or...or cure the Obscurial?" he asked eagerly.

Hermione thought for a while and said: "Newt Scamman, the author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", has encountered many Obscurials. He successfully separated the Obscurial from a Sudanese girl, and also came into contact with another person who was older than The twenty-year-old Obscurus. This shows that although it is very difficult, it is not completely impossible to control or cure the Obscurus."

Harry was still a little confused. He didn't know the danger of this evil parasite that he didn't know where it came from: "So this is a disease? Why didn't they send her to the hospital?"

"Why doesn't Remus John Lupin register with the Ministry of Magic?" Levin asked with a slightly raised eyebrow. He noticed a confused look on Harry's face and continued

"The reason for this, Harry, may not be clear to you yet. Obscurus is regarded as an extremely ominous existence in the wizarding society, and the difficulties suffered due to being a werewolf are simply insignificant compared to it."

...Please give me flowers...

Levin paused and seemed to be recalling something, "Going back a hundred years ago, we can't expect the Ministry of Magic to have a more enlightened attitude than it does now. In fact, their approach is more cruel than you think. They even have conflicts with St. Mungo's Magic Hospital has reached a secret agreement: whenever an Obscurial person is admitted to the hospital, St. Mungo's needs to end their lives as soon as possible to prevent them from causing greater disasters or being possessed by some dark wizards. use."

Speaking of this, Levin's tone became low and sad, "I learned a tragic truth from the internal information of the Ministry of Magic. When Ariana Dumbledore was young, she inadvertently performed magic, just like Like all other little wizards. But unfortunately, this scene was caught by three Muggle boys. They did unspeakable evil to her, causing her control over magic to completely collapse. Magic was raging crazily in her body. , ultimately driving her to the edge of madness."

Harry listened to Levin's narration, feeling an inexplicable fear and sympathy in his heart. He imagined the young girl struggling in endless pain, and the evil deeds of those Muggle boys made him feel even more angry and sad.

"Ariana's father, Percival Dumbledore, was a father who loved his daughter deeply." Levin continued, "When he heard that three nasty Muggles had hurt his daughter, he was extremely angry. In order to save his daughter, In revenge, he killed those three people with his own hands. However, this also led to him being sent to Azkaban, and finally ended his life in a cold prison."

Levin's voice is low and full of emotion, as if he is reliving that tragic history before his eyes.

"In order to protect Ariana from being sent to St. Mungo's, her mother Kendra Dumbledore made a difficult decision. She took Ariana and Albus with her

Leaving the fertile soil where they once lived, they came to Godric Valley. They claimed that Ariana was too weak to go to school, so they could keep her at home and take care of her in their own way. "

"However, fate did not favor this unfortunate family. A silent riot ruthlessly took the life of Ariana's mother. Since then, Dumbledore, a young man with amazing magical talents, had to give up his ideals , began to take on the responsibility of taking care of his little sister Ariana."

He took a deep breath and continued: "Until Dumbledore met that man - Gellert Grindelwald. The two of them hit it off, attracted each other, and soon established a deep friendship... Wrong, it's the kind of relationship you think of. They ignored Ariana because of their attraction to each other, which left her feeling alone and helpless."

When Levin said this, he glanced at Hermione, who was looking at him tenderly, and then at the girls in the distance who were looking in this direction with concern. A warm current surged in his heart, and his voice became firmer: "Although I have no blood relatives in this world, I have many people who are like relatives. They are very important to me, and I will not be like Dumbledore and Grindelwald ignored them."
