"Just like what Aunt Muriel said, Dumbledore's mother imprisoned Arianna because she was a Squib." Harry asked. His mood seemed to have worsened because of the contents of the newspaper. He looked at the photo of the Dumbledore family in the newspaper, unable to believe that it was true.
"There's nothing to deny. Kandra did do that, but she didn't imprison Arianna. She did it to protect her," Elwyn said.
"Protect?" Harry looked at Elwyn in disbelief and said loudly, "She imprisoned a seven-year-old girl to protect her?!"
"Yes, because Arianna wasn't a Squib who couldn't use magic. She was a Silent One."
"What's the difference?! Also, what's a Silent One? "Harry asked.
"Like Wizard, Muggle, and Squib, Silent One is a name that distinguishes people by magic." Elwyn explained patiently, "When a young wizard's heart is greatly injured, he will lose control of his own magic. At this time, a dark magic power will take advantage of the weakness and enter the young wizard's heart to reside. This dark force is very powerful and very evil. The wizards who know of it call it the Silence. You can think of it as a parasite with the power of darkness, Harry. "
"Silent Ones!" Harry repeated in a low voice, as if trying hard to convince himself to accept this concept.
"According to my guess, Silent Ones are related to Evil Gods. They are a kind of Evil God's creation, just like the Dementors." Elwyn said, "Of course, no wizard knows this. The magic world has yet to research the source of Silent Ones. Most people see Silent Ones as a kind of dark energy creature that drifts in space."
"You mean, a Silent One is residing in Arianna's body, making her a Silent One, and not a Squib?" Harry said very slowly, "Arianna is controlled by Evil Gods?! This sounds too incredible! "
"It's incredible, but it's the truth. Rita Skeeter's article didn't mention why Dumbledore's father, Percy Val, wanted to kill the three Muggle boys. Or maybe it was mentioned, but it was just a passing reference," Elwyn said. "You can investigate it, Harry. This part is very important. As far as I know, when Arianna was using magic as a child, she was accidentally seen by the three Muggle boys. They did terrible things to her, causing her soul to be greatly stimulated. From then on, she lost control of her magic, and the magic in her body drove her crazy. In fact, she became a Silent One. "
"Even so, why would Dumbledore's family lock her up? They should take Arianna to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Patients. "
"There's no way to treat her. Until now, wizards believed that Silent Ones were ominous and would bring disaster and misfortune. After discovering and confirming a Silent One, the Ministry of Magic's usual practice is to kill them. This way, it can prevent Dark Wizards with ulterior motives from using the Silent Ones to do bad things." Elwyn said, "Silent Ones are very rare. They are very powerful, stronger than most wizards. Once the emotions of the possessed wizard fluctuate sharply again, the Silent Ones residing in the body will awaken. We can call it awakening. In the awakening state, the Silent Ones will turn into a black, incorporeal cloud of black fog. They are extremely destructive. If they don't use magic for a long time, the Silent Ones will devour the host and eventually take over the host's body out of control, bringing disaster … "
"The ultimate goal of the Silent Ones is to control the Silent Ones to summon the Evil Gods and let them descend into this world. But so far, no Silent Ones have succeeded because their power is too dark and powerful, far exceeding the limits that the human body can bear. Every magic explosion is extremely harmful to the Silent Ones." Elwyn continued, "This is also the main reason why most Silent Ones are children and don't live long. In fact, most Silent Ones can't live past the age of ten."
"But Arianna lived past the age of ten!" Harry immediately caught on to Elwyn's faulty wording, "I remember she was killed after Dumbledore graduated …"
"Yes, this is the best proof that Dumbledore's family took good care of Arianna, and not imprisoned and abused her as people believe. They carefully protected her emotions and magic, not letting the Silent Ones in her body have a chance to awaken. This is the best way to protect the Silent Ones. Although to outsiders, Arianna is like a squib, locked in the house and never allowed to see outsiders, this is better than being stimulated and the Silent Ones do a lot of terrible things after awakening, right? " Elwyn said, "Because of Dumbledore's mother's careful protection, she could live past the age of ten. If it weren't for that accident, she could have continued to live."
"About that accident, it's probably another gimmick in Rita Skeeter's book!" Without waiting for Harry to ask, Elwyn took the initiative to continue, "Although the Silent Ones living in Arianna's body have never awakened, they still affect Arianna all the time. As long as her emotions fluctuate slightly, it will cause a magic riot. When Dumbledore was about to graduate from Hogwarts, because of a magic riot, Arianna accidentally killed her mother! Oh, yes, Kandra died because of this reason. About this, you can investigate, or ask Bashida Barthart, she should know something about it. "
"After Kandra died, Dumbledore, who had already graduated from school, began to take care of Arianna." Elwyn said, "But he was very unwilling to waste his time and life on this kind of thing. Although Dumbledore loved his sister very much, he was also a talented wizard. Like every young wizard, he had his own ideals and revenge, wanting to do his own big things, but he had no choice but to stay at home. This state continued until he met Gellert Grindelwald."
"Gellert Grindelwald?! You mean the dark wizard who was defeated by Dumbledore? " Harry asked. "At the wedding yesterday, Krum also mentioned him to me. He said that many of his relatives and friends were killed by Grindelwald. He also said that the strange triangular emblem on Luna's father, Mr. Lofgood, was Grindelwald's symbol. The two of them quarreled because of this …"
