The Ministry of Magic caught on, too.
So the Obscurial they had spent so long hunting all over the world was actually Dumbledore's nephew?
No wonder. No wonder Dumbledore had been secretly obstructing their attempts to approach Credence.
Hermione spoke slowly and distinctly. "You nearly killed Ariana back then, and that was enough to make him break with you. If you kill his only nephew today, I doubt even the deepest bond between you could survive you squandering it like that."
