"We can imagine that during those days, Dumbledore and Grindelwald studied magic together, talked about their ideals, and felt that the other was the one in their destiny. They even sneaked out to explore ancient magical ruins all over the world." Elwyn said, "When Sirius and I sent out the search for the giant and Ravenclaw's secret treasure key, Dumbledore mentioned to me that he once went to Sicily with Grindelwald. In that environment, this kind of risky behavior was very reckless for Dumbledore. Considering Arianna's physical condition, even if Dumbledore had not been away for a long time, it was still very inappropriate. But Dumbledore ignored Arianna because of Grindelwald, and Grindelwald probably thought that Arianna was a burden. We all know that Grindelwald was never a good person. He was a dark wizard through and through. When he was still a student, he carried out a lot of black magic research that ordinary people could not imagine. His attitude towards Arianna, who stood in the way of him and Dumbledore, can be imagined, or maybe he hoped that she would die sooner. And Arianna's condition at that time was inseparable from human care, and could not even withstand any stimulation. Under such circumstances, her physical condition would definitely get worse. "
"Didn't Dumbledore know what you said at that time?" Harry asked after thinking for a while.
"I think he didn't know, or he knew but ignored it. At that time, Dumbledore's mind was thinking about how to achieve his and Grindelwald's great ideals for the greater benefit, and ignored his sister. This was also the thing that he regretted the most in his life." Elwyn said, "In fact, I suspect that Dumbledore did not know Arianna's condition very well at that time. He probably did not know about the Silent One, and simply thought that Arianna's magic was out of control …"
"If you have read the personal biography of Mr. Newt Scamander, yes, Mr. Scamander, the author of 'Where Are the Magical Creatures', he helped Hagrid and us a lot in the Buckbeak matter. If you have read his personal biography, Harry, you will find a very interesting description." Elwyn continued, "As a magical zoologist, young Mr. Scamander once followed the ancient wizard tradition and carried out a global tour to study and rescue magical animals. His first stop was America, and at that time, it was when Dumbledore returned to the Hogwarts and Grindelwald rose rapidly. Mr. Scamander met Grindelwald while traveling in America. In fact, I think that Dumbledore played a big role in Scamander's choice to go to America. "
"What were they doing there?" Harry could not keep up with Elwyn's jumping train of thought. They were just talking about Arianna, and now they were discussing Newt Scamander's adventures in America. Even so, Harry had to admit that he was very interested in these shocking things.
"Grindelwald was expanding his forces at that time. He was already very powerful, but it was not enough to conquer the world. At the very least, he did not have full confidence in defeating his old friend Dumbledore, and he did not find all three Sacred Vessels of Death. So, Grindelwald began to hope for other powers." Elwyn said, "I think he must have witnessed the scene of Arianna's magic rioting, or even the situation when the Silent Awakening in her body left a deep impression. How could a wizard like Grindelwald ignore this unimaginably powerful force? He had conducted research on it and discovered the secret of the silent ones. When he went to America, he must have received the news and wanted to find a new Silent One. And Dumbledore appeared there to stop him. "
"Of course, with the help of Mr. Scamander, Dumbledore finally succeeded in stopping Grindelwald. They fought all the way from America to Europe, and finally fought that shocking duel in Newmengaard. You can ask Mr. Scamander yourself about these things. I think we can also pay him a visit. After all, Grindelwald played a very important role in Dumbledore's life. If you want to understand Dumbledore, you can't bypass this black wizard." Elwyn said, "If necessary, we can even go to Newmengaard to see Grindelwald himself. He has been imprisoned there ever since he lost the duel."
"That black wizard is still alive?" Harry said in surprise.
"Dumbledore only defeated him, not killed him. The two of them have a very good relationship, better than you can imagine. Rita Skeeter was right about this, but it doesn't mean that people who have a good relationship will not become enemies. Especially for wizards like Grindelwald and Dumbledore, ideas may be more important to them." Elwyn explained, "Well, Harry, let's continue the topic back to Arianna. We just said that Grindelwald went to America to find the Silent One because he witnessed the power of the Silent Awakening in Arianna's body. And the reason for Arianna's magic rioting was because when Dumbledore's brother Aberforth returned home from Hogwarts on holiday, he found that Dumbledore did not take good care of Arianna. He and Dumbledore had a fierce quarrel. Well, if I'm not mistaken, the quarrel that Aunt Muriel's family told us about yesterday was the aftermath of this quarrel. In short, they quarreled very fiercely, and Grindelwald also participated in it. In the end, they even fought. Arianna, who was next to them, was stimulated and the Silent Awakening in her body. In the chaos, Dumbledore, Grindelwald, or Aberforth's magic hit Arianna, or because the magic rioting was too strong and exceeded the endurance of Arianna's body. In short, she died. "
Harry did not speak, nor did he ask any questions. He seemed to have a hard time accepting what Elwyn said.
