Chapter 287 Mr. Will of Diagon Alley

After dinner, the task of washing dishes was given to the puppet. Everyone sat together and listened to Lupin telling the story he summarized from reading old newspapers-

"I don't know much about that person, because their story happened in the United States and France in the 1930s, and there were not many reports in the UK."

This was Lupin's opening remarks.

"No wonder I haven't heard of it..." Sirius muttered: "We weren't born at that time!"

He calculated the time and found that his parents were just born at that time. But Sirius hated his parents and didn't want to mention them.

"Credence Barebone was raised by a Muggle who was against the Wizarding Association. Because he was abused since childhood, he became an Obscurial and was lucky to live to adulthood."

Lupin said: "The reason why I want to know his story is because I saw a sentence in an old notebook-Credence Barebone is the only one who can defeat Albus Dumbledore..."

Lupin told the part of the story he knew.

Wade had seen the memories of the series of movies in the Pensieve before, but at this moment, he still listened carefully.

The same story, from different people's perspectives, will also be particularly interesting.

Lupin... or the British journalist who wrote the report at the time did not know that Credence was actually a Dumbledore.

He was Aurelius Dumbledore, the son of Aberforth Dumbledore. He was separated from his father since childhood and his mother died early. His life was a capital tragedy.

In his tortured childhood, although Credence had great magical potential, he did not become a wizard. Instead, he became an Obscure with dark power, and was manipulated by Gellert Grindelwald, and finally died tragically.

The uninformed British media exaggerated the destruction caused by the man in New York and exaggerated the atmosphere of terror in Europe during Grindelwald's reign. Their original intention was just to set off the power and greatness of Dumbledore who ended it all.

For people at that time, the savior of the wizarding world had nothing to do with a little boy with a scar on his forehead. It was Albus Dumbledore who brought peace to the wizarding world, so they did not hesitate to use the most exaggerated words to praise Dumbledore.

But I think Dumbledore himself did not like to see such reports.

Those achievements praised by outsiders were built on the bones of his blood relatives.

Therefore, at least in the UK, there are not many reports about those deeds, and they are not very detailed. Even if Lupin deliberately searched, he could only understand some of the fur.

But even so, Harry was already very fascinated.

He had never thought about what Dumbledore would look like when he was young, but after listening to Lupin's story, he had only one thought in his mind--

This is Dumbledore!

In the dangerous war years, he fearlessly defeated one powerful enemy after another. No matter how the enemy threatened, tempted, and intimidated, he always adhered to his principles and protected countless weak and innocent people.

He had a secret desire in his heart, a desire to become a wizard like Dumbledore. But it seemed that it took courage to just say such an idea.

When preparing to go to Diagon Alley, Harry said to Wade:

"Gellert Grindelwald, Credence, Voldemort... It's hard to imagine how many evil wizards Dumbledore has fought against in his life."

"I've heard a saying before-" Wade said: "If the heroes of an era are very dazzling, it means that this era is also very dark."

"Huh?" Harry was stunned for a moment. This was another angle he had never thought of.

Wade continued: "Peace should be fought for by all those who yearn for peace... If the peace of the whole world is on one person's shoulders, it is hard to imagine how hard it will be for him."

Harry was silent.

For a long time, he didn't say a word except when he entered the fireplace.

In the flickering green flames, everyone arrived at Diagon Alley again.

It was still the same process as before-withdrawing money, buying necessities, and then going shopping to buy something you like, or having a drink or something.

In the past two years, Aslan Magic Workshop has always been the busiest shop in Diagon Alley. Many foreign wizards traveled thousands of miles to the UK just to buy goods from Aslan Magic Workshop.

So after buying potion materials from the pharmacy, everyone walked to the magic workshop.

From a distance, a group of people were seen gathered there.

"Come with me." Lupin said, "I know there is a side door used by employees to enter."

He often had to represent Wade to connect with people in the magic workshop, so he was also familiar with this place.

Several people followed Lupin, walked around, and entered from a place that looked like the back door of a house, and saw several people moving boxes.

"Hey, private residence, please don't... Remus?!"

A staff member was about to drive them away, but when he saw Lupin, he immediately showed a surprised smile.

He walked over quickly, not shaking hands, but hugging hard.

"Long time no see! I've been wondering when we can meet again!"

Wade and others looked at this person curiously. He was wearing the workshop's blue and yellow work clothes. He was tall and thin, with sparse hair. He looked malnourished, but his smile was exaggeratedly warm.

"Hello, Will, how are you doing recently?" Lupine also smiled and hugged the other person.

"Great! I've never felt so good! Half a year ago, I couldn't imagine that I could still live such a good life!"

Will said happily, while also noticing a few people around Lupine: "These are..."

"Oh, let me introduce..."

"Wait, wait! Don't tell me yet, let me guess!"

Before Lupine finished speaking, he was interrupted by Will. He looked at everyone with his slightly protruding eyes, the first of which was Sirius.

Will took a serious look and stretched out his hand: "You must be Mr. Sirius Black! I have always admired you! Your experience has given me a lot of strength and courage!"

"Uh...thank you?" Sirius shook his hand with some embarrassment and some joy.

Then Will looked down and saw a pair of emerald green eyes and a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.

He immediately showed a surprised expression, like a surprised frog.

"Needless to say! Needless to say—Harry Potter! Our savior!"

He bent deeply and shook Harry's hand vigorously.

Harry's scalp was numb and he was about to jump up. He said hurriedly: "Hello, Mr. Will."

"It's such an honor to meet you! Can you sign your autograph for me?" Will continued to hold Harry's hand.

"Okay, Will, you're going to scare him."

Lupine's words rescued Harry from his embarrassing situation, and Will's eyes turned to the last person.

Wade narrowed his eyes slightly and said proactively: "No need to guess, my name is Wade Gray. Nice to meet you, Mr. Will."

Will looked at his hand, slowly held it, and bent even lower.

"I'm grateful to you, Mr. Grey."

"You may not know me...but you gave me a second life."
