Chapter 607 Dumbledore's Past

Andy looked around.

This was a very ordinary room, but the furnishings inside were very neat and clean, which seemed 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 portrait was of a girl who looked 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 for a long time without saying a word.

The girl also looked at Dumbledore and smiled at him.

Andy didn't say anything, nor did he sit down.

At this time, Andy felt that it was really embarrassing to stay here. Facing an old man who had lost his relatives, Andy was unwilling to reveal his sad past again.

I didn't care much before, but this time, in front of the portrait of someone's dead sister, there are some questions, especially those related to Dumbledore's sister, that Andy really can't ask.

To be honest, Andy wanted to leave.

Andy really couldn't handle this kind of situation.

"She is my sister, Ariana... Ariana Dumbledore."

After a long silence, Dumbledore spoke first: "I'm glad you can still consider the feelings of an old man like me."

Andy: "..."

Dumbledore is a wise old man.

"I also have a sister, so I can understand your feelings."

Andy shrugged and said, "Professor, why don't we talk about it another day?"

Dumbledore turned his back to Andy, and his tone was a little sad, "You are a qualified brother, much more competent than me. If I could have paid attention to Ariana's feelings back then, maybe that wouldn't have happened."

Andy was silent after hearing this.

Dumbledore did not care about his family when he was young. Every time he had a holiday, he would lock himself in the attic, count his awards, and communicate with the most famous magic master in the world.

Andy lived another life, so he must have considered it more comprehensively than the high-spirited Dumbledore back then.

There is nothing to be proud of.

As for the words of comfort... I guess Dumbledore has heard a lot.

"I think she must like you very much and is proud to have such an excellent brother like you."

Out of courtesy, Andy still comforted, "No one wants such an accident to happen. I think she won't blame you."

"Thank you!" Dumbledore said.

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, and she lost control of magic from then on..."

"The magic was in her body, 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 Injuries and Maladies for life, he did not tell the reason."

"He was also imprisoned in Azkaban for this reason!"

Dumbledore calmly recounted the past events of the year. Although Andy had heard it once before, he still listened quietly and did not interrupt.

At the end of the story, Dumbledore met Grindelwald, and the two chatted very speculatively, and even ignored Ariana.

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, the three of them fought in the yard.

In the melee, no one knows whose magic suddenly hit Ariana...

This is such a sad story!

Looking at Dumbledore in front of him, Andy suddenly thought of a sentence-growth requires a price.

This price is very painful, so painful that Dumbledore still cannot forgive his stupidity to this day. But it is also this painful price that has shaped the current Dumbledore.

Andy suddenly felt fortunate that Dumbledore was not as temperamental as Obito (I want to create a world with Ariana), otherwise this world would not know what it would become.

After telling the story, Dumbledore turned slowly.

He looked at Andy with a slightly deep look in his eyes, "Collins...it looks like you have succeeded!"

"Yes!" Andy admitted frankly.

Andy was not surprised that Dumbledore knew his secret. After all, Andy had borrowed many related books in the forbidden book area in order to check the information.

These are all recorded.

As long as the librarian Madam Pince knew, Dumbledore would naturally know.

"But... the Obscurus does have hidden dangers after all..."

Since Dumbledore mentioned it first, Andy no longer worried about it and spoke out the problems he encountered and his guesses in one breath.

Andy only wanted to know two things.

First, the magic of love.

Andy believed that 'love' was the key factor in the fusion of mind and magic. In this case, Andy naturally wanted to figure out what kind of power 'love' was.

Second, it was about the Obscurus.

Can a body transformed by magic better carry the power of the Obscurus?

Credence lived to his twenties.

Ariana lived to the age of fourteen, and her cause of death was being hit by a curse, not the backlash of the Obscurus.

The Dumbledore family... is still somewhat capable.

Andy has always suspected that the ancestors of the Dumbledore family once used magic to transform and steal the magic of the phoenix.

In addition, strong willpower can avoid the hidden dangers of Obscurus?

After talking about his own problems, Andy spread his hands and said: "I don't feel any discomfort now, and I can only think of these two possibilities."

Willpower, and magic transformation!

"Love..."

Dumbledore looked at Andy under the lens, "Love is the purest emotion in human nature. When you understand love, you will give everything for the person you love without asking for anything in return."

"Even your life!"

"If from the perspective of magic, love is the purest magical power, it is purer than any power."

"Love is in the depths of your heart... Collins!"

Is that so...

Andy understood what Dumbledore meant.

Excluding those beautiful descriptions, love is a pure spiritual power... and the mind controls magic.

According to this logical relationship, love is indeed very strong!

The Killing Curse can only take your life.

But love can make you willingly give everything for the one you love, even your own life.

That's why Lily's protective magic can bounce back the Killing Curse!

But...

Andy frowned slightly.

This explanation has nothing to do with the magic of mind fusion!
