Dumbledore talked to Harry a lot.
Including the name of that magic, "love".
"I don't know what this magic will do, but it's because of its existence that the Killing Curse bounces back."
He looked at Vincent, as if to confirm whether something had been said or not.
Vincent nodded, glanced at the twins, then shook his head again.
Of course, only those directly involved have the right to know about Snape's affairs.
Dumbledore nodded gently. "Harry, I shouldn't interfere with your decision, but I hope you won't do anything you'll regret for the rest of your life."
"I will, Professor." Harry's furrowed brow relaxed slightly.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Dursley will at most receive a lesson, but will not face imprisonment.
"Vincent, do you have time?"
"No."
Dumbledore walked towards the door. "I will satisfy your thirst for knowledge."
Vincent ultimately couldn't resist.
They left their the Burrow and came to the banks of the River Otter.
"Don't you find this strange?"
"Professor, I understand that you want to prioritize Tom's feelings."
Dumbledore lowered his eyes. "Arrogance, an emotion even I cannot avoid."
Vincent faced the river. "Professor, did you really not expect what Harry would encounter?"
"I expected it, but I couldn't influence them."
"Can't you alter their memories?"
"No." Dumbledore's eyes narrowed instantly. "That's a very dangerous idea, boy."
"Really?" Vincent looked up at the distant blue sky. "Professor, you know what I've always wanted to know."
"For the Greater Good?" Dumbledore chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Yes, Gellert Grindelwald and I used to be very close friends."
How intimate?
"Far beyond your imagination."
Vincent stiffly twisted his neck. "Professor, you two fell out later?"
"That's right." Dumbledore held out his hand. "This story is known to very few people."
"They all knew?"
"Yes."
"Them" refers to Nicolas Flamel and Newt Scamander.
"I won't tell anyone."
The moment Vincent placed his hand on them, they both vanished into flames.
Godric's Hollow is the birthplace of Godric Gryffindor, one of the founders of Hogwarts.
It was here that Bowman Wright, in the Middle Ages, created the first Golden Snitch.
Even so, this place is not particularly famous.
Of the many wizards who have lived here, the most famous is of course Harry Potter.
Right here, at the Potter family, he defeated Voldemort.
A monument was erected in the square in the center of the village to commemorate the family.
From a distance, it appears as an obelisk covered with names.
But upon closer inspection, it transforms into a statue of three people.
A man with disheveled hair and wearing glasses;
A woman with long hair and a beautiful face;
There was also a baby boy in her arms.
Instead of taking Vincent to the cottage where the Potter family had lived, Dumbledore took him to the churchyard.
The most prominent spot is James Potter and Lily's gravestone.
"Ignotus Peverell!?" Vincent stopped in his tracks.
"Professor, could he be—"
"The Potter Family are his descendants." Dumbledore walked deeper into the building.
He stopped at a position almost at the edge.
What came into Vincent's view were the tombstones of Percival and Kendra Dumbledore.
Next to it is Ariana Dumbledore's.
Then came Aurelius Dumbledore, two empty seats away.
"They are all my family." Dumbledore's eyes were filled with sorrow. "Here, I did something unforgivable..."
More than a hundred years ago, the Dumbledore family lived in a village called Worth Origins in England.
It is home not only to wizards in seclusion, but also to many Muggle.
A year before Albus Dumbledore went to Hogwarts, a tragedy occurred in this mixed village, which was similar to Ottley St. Catchpole.
Six-year-old Ariana unknowingly used magic, which was witnessed by three Muggle boys.
They pressured her, just so they could float the leaves too.
"She didn't say it." Dumbledore's eyes were already wet. "They—they did something bad to her."
Vincent hung his head, unable to imagine the scene.
Despite using rather mild language, he could still sense the old man's helplessness and frustration.
"She changed. She became unwilling to use magic anymore. All the magic that couldn't be released went into her heart and burst out all at once when she couldn't control it."
In this situation, Obscurus appeared.
Ariana became Obscurial.
"My father later attacked them." Dumbledore looked at Percival's tombstone.
"If the Ministry of Magic knew about her condition, she would spend the rest of her life in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries."
Percival was sent to Azkaban and became Muggle hater in the eyes of others.
A year later, their mother, Kendra, moved to Godric's Hollow with her three children to keep Ariana's existence a secret.
Vincent looked at the two empty seats.
"Our neighbor is Bathilda Bagshot." Dumbledore wiped away his tears.
"She is the author of The A History of Magic and Gellert Grindelwald Grindelwald's great-aunt."
From the moment he stepped into Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore displayed extraordinary magical talent.
He not only met Nicolas Flamel at school,
I also know Adebay Wolfling, the author of Magical Theory.
During NEWT's Charms and Transfiguration exams, she received extremely high praise from examiner Gersdale Marchbanks.
Prefect
Head Boy
Barnabus Finkley Award for Outstanding Spellcasting Technique
Wizengamot's Britain youth representative,
Gold Medal for Pioneering Contribution at the Cairo International Alchemy Conference.
Albus Dumbledore, who graduated with many honors, was originally going to follow tradition and go on training with his friends.
However, the night before he was to leave, he received devastating news from home.
Ariana lost control of the Obscurus and, in a fit of rage, killed their mother, Kendra.
Albus Dumbledore canceled all his plans and became the pillar of this broken family.
"After she passed away, I was responsible for taking care of a disabled younger sister and a willful younger brother—"
Dumbledore said calmly, "I returned to the village full of resentment and pain, thinking myself trapped and wasting my life forever."
Later, he came...
Grindelwald was already obsessed with the Deathly Hallows when he was in Durmstrang.
He conducted experiments on Dark Magic that even the extremely permissive school couldn't tolerate.
It's just being fired; they obviously won't care.
In order to find one of the holy relics, the Invisibility Cloak, he came to Godric's Hollow, where his aunt lived.
Here, this ambitious young man met another disheartened young man.
