Vol 2 Chapter 1094: Dumbledore's past

"For the greater good!"
This sentence seems to be very reasonable and esoteric, but what is the greater interest? !
No one can answer that the greater interests are different for different people and different periods.
For the early years of Dumbledore, the greater interest was to prove his talents and to carry forward the glory of the magic world;
For the present Dumbledore, greater interests protect the peace of the magic world and repent of what he once did;
For Voldemort, the greater good is eternal life and conquest;
For the Minister of Magic, Fudge, the greater interest is the right in the hands;
For Snape, the greater interest is his love for Harry's mother, Lily;
For the little Batty Crouch and Bellatrix, the greater interest is the trust of the owner;
For the pure blood wizard family like Malfoy, the greater interest is that family power and pure blood are supreme;
For Avon, the greater benefit is to protect the people you love.
Different people have different purposes and needs. Of course, when compared comprehensively, the latter can only be said to be selfish desires.
Let’s not say whether these benefits are really great. After you have determined your goals, what do you need to do next?
Undoubtedly, for the sake of greater interests, everything else can be sacrificed and can be given up.
Is it too radical to do this? How many people can really do it?
"For the greater good!" Dumbledore whispered, looking at the letters on the mottled stone wall.
His expression of nostalgia, the deep wrinkles on his face made him look older than usual.
"Grindevo engraved it here and regarded it as truth. He found a beautiful excuse for his actions and inferior acts, hoping to prove to the world that his ideas and practices are correct." Dumbledore Closed his eyes and sighed deeply. "But this sentence is actually wrong. It is just a mad slogan of a young, stupid fool, used to deceive and blind his conscience, so that he can be on the fallen road. The farther I went, the more I paid for it.
Ai Wen was not sure how to answer, he knew that this sentence was originally proposed by Dumbledore.
The young, foolish fool he just said is referring to himself.
Difficult principals in peacetime are different, and Dumbledore is too abnormal now.
A lot of things tonight touched the deepest hidden secrets in his heart and touched the past that had been dusty for a long time.
At this moment, he looks very old and has a lot of mood swings.
The resurrection stone of one of the Deathly Hallows, the summoned Arianna, the Newmontard of Grindelwald, and the slogan of her youth, represent his dreams and remorse, all of which are Deng The weakest place in the mind of Blydo.
When they all come together, imagine Dumbledore’s mood at this time.
In particular, the appearance of the resurrection stone, one of the three saints, completely extinguished Dumbledore’s dream for many years.
His desire to resurrect his sister was lost, and the deceased who was summoned only made him more sad.
Not surprisingly, Dumbledore would never again be able to use the Resurrection Stone after he returned.
As long as you have experienced life and death, no one can resist the temptation. This is human nature.
In a cycle, he will become even more sad, and eventually he will end himself and devote himself to the embrace of death.
Looking at the old principal, Ai Wen suddenly felt the need to remind Dumbledore to pay attention to this, it is best to put the resurrection stone in his custody.
He has no need to miss the dead, this stone is useless to him.
Although Dumbledore did not explain his own story, Aiwen felt it necessary to talk about it.
"Do we go in, professor?" Avon said, looking at the closed door.
"No, Newmontard is a witch prison, we didn't get permission to enter," Dumbledore explained. "When you wait here, he will come out later."
"Professor, can you tell me what kind of person is Grindelwald?" Ai Wen nodded and pinpointed the entry point for the problem.
"A radical revolutionary, but it is undeniable that he is also a notorious black wizard, a dangerous evil."
"But he looks different from Voldemort?" Avon continued, pointing to the words on the door. "For greater benefit, Voldemort never said this, even if it was an excuse, but he would not be himself. Find an excuse for what you are doing."
"Compared with Voldemort, he did not lose humanity and did not break into more pure evil." Dumbledore sighed and looked at the highest tower. "I heard that he was alone in New York in his later years." There was remorse in Gad’s cell. I hope this is true. I hope he can feel how terrible and shameful he has been. He hopes that he can atone for sin in repentance."
"Professor, haven't you seen him?"
"No!" Dumbledore shook his head. "Since he was locked up, we never met again. I was afraid, afraid to meet him, even if I had a duel with him, there was no between us. Speaked."
"Are you afraid of Grindelwald?" Ai Wen blinked, which is really beyond his expectations.
"Yes, people say that he is afraid of me, but I think I am more afraid of him." Dumbledore replied, "It sounds very unbelievable, isn't it? I am not afraid of death, nor is he using magic to me." Hurt, but fear the truth."
"the truth?"
"This involves me and his past. If you are willing to listen, we can say that there is nothing to hide, although I rarely talk to other people about this past." Dumbledore Say, "You know, Ai Wen, my sister, Alina, is sick and sick, not born, but because of an accident. When she was a child, she was hit by three Muggle boys when she was using magic. The three boys did it to her. A terrible thing, from then on, she lost control of the magic, magic in her body, driving her crazy. My father Percival was taken to Azkaban for revenge, and eventually died there, my mother Also to take care of Arianna to give up her life"
Although Dumbledore said it was simple, the truth was cruel and extremely disgraceful.
His father killed the three Muggle boys in order to avenge Arianna.
The maddened Arianna became a murderer, and she could not control the magical power in her body.
Eventually she killed her mother by accident.
At this point, the parents died, the family reputation plummeted, and the task and responsibility of taking care of Arianna fell to Dumbledore. (.)
