Vol 2 Chapter 1804: Dumbledore's dark history

At this moment, Harry also felt a shudder. It wasn't just excitement, it was more like fear. He had dreamed of coming back here countless times, and now he is really so close to his parents' graves, he doesn't know if he wants to see it or not.
In the plan, the first stop of this trip to Godric's Hollow was to pay homage to Harry's parents, but when we got here, whether it was Sirius or Harry, they all hesitated.
Hermione looked at the two of them and could understand the feeling. Both anticipation and fear! If the front is Ai Wen's grave, she is the same.
No, he may not be as good as the two of them, and it is estimated that he will collapse.
Ron has been rescued, and Ivan will be fine. After all, there are more important things waiting for him to do. The four founders of Hogwarts chose him. Those ancient wizards are so powerful, they will definitely help Aiwen tide over the difficulties at the most critical moment.
Now, no news meant hope and possibility, Hermione had been comforting herself.
She sighed softly, knowing what she was going to do, and she took Sirius and Harry's hands, leading the way for the first time, pulling them forward. The two also cooperated very well, letting him pull, like a child.
At this time, everyone especially needed to keep each other warm and find comfort to tide over the difficulties together, but when they reached the middle of the square, Hermione suddenly stopped.
"Look!" she pointed to the monument.
It changed as they walked by.
It is no longer an obelisk full of names, but a statue of three people: a man with disheveled hair and glasses, a woman with long hair, beautiful and kind, and a woman sitting in her mother's arms baby boy.
The three statues are Harry's parents and Harry himself. Harry stepped closer and stared into his parents' faces.
He never thought there would be a sculpture…
How strange to see myself carved in stone, a happy baby with no scars on its head...
Sirius took a deep breath and stared at James blankly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. A group of people watched silently under the statue, full of thoughts.
Countless dust fluttered under the dim street lamps, and a touch of sadness permeated everywhere. Maybe only Dobby didn't feel sad.
"Let's go!" Harry whispered after a long time.
The group walked towards the church, and when they left, the statue turned into a war memorial.
The doors of the church were closed, and there was a path leading to the cemetery behind. Vaguely, you can see that there are many tombstones placed there.
Sirius waved his wand lightly, opened the door of the church, and they entered.
"They're somewhere here," whispered Sirius.
The tip of his wand glowed faintly, dispelling the darkness in the cemetery.
The four of them stood there for a while, looking at the tombstones, and then Harry suggested, "Let's find them separately, so it can be faster."
There are more than a thousand tombstones here. They spread out and walked to the depths of the cemetery. While bending over to read the inscriptions on the ancient tombstones, they sometimes looked into the surrounding darkness to make sure there was no one else.
The tombstones bear the surnames of many ancient wizarding families. Among them, many are famous wizard surnames that appeared in the history of magic. In addition, many are ordinary Muggles.
Hermione watched one by one until he saw a name that was all too familiar.
"Come and see."
"Yes or no…"
"No, but you will be interested in this," said Hermione.
She pointed to the black stele, the moss-dappled granite, inscribed with Candela Dumbledore, with her daughter Ariana and her date of birth and death. There is also a saying: where the treasure is, there is also the heart.
"It's Dumbledore's mother and sister." Harry's heart shrank suddenly, and he remembered not long ago that he was in Rita Skeeter's book "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore" see things too.
At least part of it is fact, such as the Dumbledore family did live here, and there are people who died here, but seeing the grave in person is more sad than hearing it.
Harry couldn't help feeling up and down, he and Dumbledore both had deep roots in this cemetery. Dumbledore should have told him this, but he never intended to break the relationship.
But that's of course, considering what Rita Skeeter described in that book, Dumbledore's family background, his murderous father, and his Squib sister who kept him locked up at home until she was humiliated. Death, how could he possibly mention this to Harry.
If the things about Dumbledore's mother and sister are true, what about the other things mentioned in the book? For example, Dumbledore wanted to rule Muggles by force. Rita called it "domination", which made Harry uncomfortable.
In that book, there is a letter from Dumbledore to Grindelwald, which Rita got from Bathilda Bagshot, in which Dumbledore had fantasized about overthrowing the Statute of Secrecy with Grindelwald. , establishing wizarding rule over Muggles. The crueler fact is that Grindelwald later became a Dark Lord like Voldemort.
He specially established a prison called Nurmengard to hold those who opposed him.
On the door of that prison, the words "For the Greater Good" are inscribed. It is said that this is the slogan proposed by Dumbledore.
If the thing about Dumbledore's Squib sister is true, then all of this is true too, Harry thought angrily, looking up some information since seeing the man in Voldemort's mind.
Although Skeeter's account is exaggerated, the content of the book seems to be true.
It was completely unacceptable to Harry, no wonder Dumbledore never told him that.
Look, their relatives are lying on the same graveyard, but to Dumbledore, it seems like an unimportant coincidence, he never mentions it, as if it had something to do with what he wanted Harry and Ivan to do irrelevant.
Perhaps, Dumbledore never believed him? Or maybe Dumbledore was hiding that he wasn't what Harry thought he was.
Looking at the dark tombstone in front of him, Harry couldn't help but think so.
"Dumbledore loved his sister very much," said Sirius. "Where the treasure is, there is also the heart. This is the inscription he chose, and it means that his heart is there."
It sounded more like a huge sarcasm, and Harry thought he had something to say about it.
But in the end, he just said, "Let's keep looking."
He didn't want to discuss Dumbledore here, and he didn't want his shudder to be tainted by resentment.
Harry stopped just a few steps away, his body stiff and unresponsive.
