It was too hasty to judge a Magus based on whether he was a Magus or not.
Black magic was indeed made up of all sorts of negative emotions and magic, but it was not only used to harm others or do bad things.
Similarly, the so-called white magic and normal spells were not all used for good things. Magic itself was not good or bad, the key was the thoughts of the sorcerer who used the magic. The key to judge whether a sorcerer was a Dark Sorcerer was whether the sorcerer was evil, not what kind of magic he used.
Of course, because of their cruel and evil nature, Dark Sorcerers had no qualms about using black magic, and were much more skillful than normal sorcerers.
Even so, the fact that Dumbledore had dabbled in black magic was unusual, at least for Harry.
Looking at Dorjee, who was in pain and panic, Harry felt very sad.
He did not care if Dumbledore had dabbled in black magic or not, as he himself had used black magic to vent his hatred.
When a person was in extreme anger, doing so did not seem to be a big deal.
However, what he could not accept was the implication of this incident, which was that what Rita Skeeter had said in the newspaper might be true, that Dumbledore had studied black magic together with Dark Sorcerer Grindelwald, and that he had wanted to overthrow the Secrecy Act and establish a system where sorcerers ruled over the Muggle.
Then, it showed that Dumbledore's hatred of black magic and dedication to protecting the Muggle were all fake.
Fake, everything was fake!
Harry felt a chill run down his spine. His impression of Dumbledore, Dumbledore's philosophy, and what Dumbledore had said to him might not all be true. There might be something fake in all of them. Harry thought of such a possibility, and realized that he had never properly understood the principal.
Compared to the confused Harry, Elwyn knew more.
Dumbledore really couldn't explain this kind of thing to others, and he was determined to bear the pain alone and not say anything.
As far as Elwyn knew, there was a time when Dumbledore was really obsessed with black magic.
He and Grindelwald became close friends, and the two of them explored the mystery of magic together.
The young Dumbledore was very clear about Grindelwald's views, and knew what he would do with the magic they studied together, but he did not care at that time.
How to put it, Elwyn was not very sure, and he did not know if it was appropriate to judge Dumbledore in this way, but from the current situation, the young Dumbledore did not have a strong sense of justice and responsibility. He was upset because he was forced to stay at home to take care of his younger brother and sister. He was very outstanding, and he thought that he should not be tied down by his family, and he was not willing to waste his talent. The appearance of Grindelwald gave him hope in life, so the two equally talented wizards were inseparable in those two months.
Perhaps it was because they were attracted by each other's talents, or perhaps it was because they saw themselves in each other, or perhaps it was because of some other reasons, Dumbledore and Grindelwald, the two greatest wizards of the current era, met. In those two months, they greatly promoted the development of magic, and also influenced the pattern of the magic world for the next century.
If there were no accidents, Dumbledore and Grindelwald might become The Dark Lord together, and establish their ideal new order in this world.
However, an unexpected tragedy happened. When he accidentally killed his sister, Arianna, Dumbledore suddenly came to a realization.
Since then, the two great wizards walked on different sides, and then had that earth-shattering duel.
In the end, Dumbledore won the duel.
This did not necessarily mean that he was stronger than Grindelwald in magic and strength, but in some aspects, he was indeed stronger than Grindelwald. Using the principal's long-standing philosophy, it was love. In this aspect, Dumbledore knew more than all the other dark wizards.
The Lord Voldemort did not know what love was, and Grindelwald sacrificed love for a greater benefit, while Dumbledore used his heart to understand love.
Therefore, in that earth-shattering duel that was talked about by everyone, but there were no bystanders, he won the final victory.
The immortal thing about Dumbledore was that he made unforgivable mistakes when he was young, but in the end, he faced his dark side and became the greatest wizard.
"We don't know Dumbledore's past, Harry, but I think some things can't be seen and understood simply from the surface." Elwyn said, "If you ask me, everyone makes mistakes, and the young Dumbledore was no exception. The key is the courage to admit your mistakes and what you do after that. What Rita Skeeter wrote may be true, but it's as worthless as a fake. You know her, her goal is to attract the public's interest and sell her books, so the more shocking things are, the more to her liking. She will even deliberately hide some important facts or make up some ambiguous words to achieve the effect. Rita Skeeter … "
"Rita Skeeter?! You're talking about her? Oh, I like her, I always read what she wrote! " A shrill cackle interrupted Elwyn's words. Ron's Aunt Muriel was holding a glass of champagne, the feathers on her hat fluttering up and down. "Do you know, she wrote a book about Dumbledore!"
"Hello, Muriel!" Dorjee said. "Yes, we're talking about it …"
"Is that so? Give me your chair, I'm already 107 years old! " Another red-haired cousin of the Weasley family jumped out of the chair in a panic. Aunt Muriel spun the chair around with amazing strength and placed it between Dorjee, Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine, then plopped down.
"You guys, haven't we met before? The goblin-like Weasley family. You all look the same, who can tell you apart! " Aunt Muriel looked at Elwyn and the others for a while, as if trying to remember them, then gave up. She turned to Dorjee and said, "Alright, Efyas, let's talk. What were you saying about Rita Skeeter just now? Did you know that she wrote a biography of Dumbledore? I can't wait to read it. I have to remember to order a copy from Lihen Bookstore. "
Hearing this, Dorjee's face darkened and his expression stiffened.
However, Aunt Muriel drained her glass in one gulp and snapped her fingers at a waiter beside her with her bony hand, asking for a refill.
