"For the greater good!"

This sentence may seem very reasonable and profound, but what is the greater good?!

No one can answer that the greater good is different for different people and for different times. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

For Dumbledore in his early years, the greater interest was to prove his talents and promote the glory of the wizarding world;

For the present Dumbledore, it is in the greater interest to maintain the peace of the wizarding world, to repent of what he has done;

For Voldemort, the greater good is eternal life and conquest;

For Minister of Magic, Fudge, the greater interest is the power in the hands;

For Snape, the greater good was his love for Harry's mother, Lily;

For Barty Crouch Jr. and Bellatrix, the greater good is the trust of the master;

For a pure-blood wizard family like Malfoy, the greater interest is the supremacy of family power and purebloods;

For Aven, the greater interest is to protect the people he loves.

Different people have different goals and needs, and of course, when compared comprehensively, the latter can only be said to be selfish desires.

Let's not talk about whether these interests are really great, and then after setting the goal, what needs to be done next?

Needless to say, everything else can be sacrificed and given up for the sake of the greater good.

But is this too extreme? How many people can actually do it?

"For the greater good!" Dumbledore whispered, looking at the letters on the mottled stone wall.

He looked nostalgic, and the deep wrinkles on his face made him look older than usual.

Grindelwald engraved it here as the truth, and he made a beautiful excuse for what he had done and what he had done, hoping to prove to the world that his ideas and practices were correct. Dumbledore closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "But this statement is actually wrong, just the arrogant slogan of a young and vigorous fool to deceive and blind his conscience, so that he will go further and further down the path of depravity, and finally pay a terrible price for it......"

Evan wasn't sure what to answer, he knew that the phrase had originally been made by Dumbledore.

And the young and vigorous fool he just spoke of was himself.

Unlike the usual wise Headmaster, Dumbledore was too unusual.

Many things tonight touched the deepest secrets in his heart, touching those things that had been hidden for a long time.

At this moment, he looked extremely old and had great mood swings.

The resurrection stone, one of the Deathly Hallows, the summoned Ariana, the imprisoned Grimelwald Newmengard, and the slogans he put forward as a young man, representing his dreams and regrets, were all the weakest parts of Dumbledore's heart.

When they all came together, you can imagine Dumbledore's mood at this time......

In particular, the appearance of the Resurrection Stone, one of the Three Hallows, completely extinguished Dumbledore's dream for many years.

His wish to resurrect his sister was frustrated, and the summoned dead only made him grieved even more.

Not surprisingly, Dumbledore would be reluctant to use the Resurrection Stone again after he returned.

As long as you have experienced life and death, no one can resist that temptation, this is human nature.

In each cycle, he will become more sad, and eventually end himself and throw himself into the arms of death.

Looking at the old headmaster, Evan suddenly felt the need to remind Dumbledore to pay attention to this, and it was best to put the resurrection stone with him for safekeeping.

He has nothing to remember the dead, this stone is of no use to him......

Although Dumbledore did not tell his own story, Evan felt the need to talk about it.

"Shall we go in, Professor?" said Aven, looking at the closed door.

"No, Newmengard is a wizard's prison and we don't have permission to enter. Dumbledore explained, "Wait here, he'll come out in a moment." ”

"Professor, can you tell me what kind of person Grindelwald is?" Evan nodded, pinpointing the point of entry for the question.

"A radical revolutionary, but undeniably at the same time a notorious dark wizard, a dangerous element of extreme evil. ”

"But he doesn't look like Voldemort?" Evan continued, pointing to the words on the door, "for the greater good, Voldemort would never say such things, and even if it was an excuse, he wouldn't make excuses for what he did. ”

"Compared to Voldemort, he really did not lose his humanity, did not fall into a more pure evil. Dumbledore sighed and said, looking at the top of the tower, "I have heard that he expressed remorse in his later years when he was alone in his cell in Newmengard, and I hope this is true, and I hope he can feel how horrible and shameful what he has done, and I hope he can atone for his sins in repentance......"

"Professor, haven't you seen him?"

"No!" Dumbledore shook his head, "we haven't seen each other since he was locked up. I was scared, scared to meet him, and even in my duel with him, we didn't speak to each other. ”

"Are you afraid of Grindelwald?" Evan blinked, which was indeed unexpected.

"Yes, people say he's afraid of me, but I think I'm more afraid of him. Dumbledore replied, "That sounds unthinkable, doesn't it? I'm not afraid of death, or of the harm he used his magic to do to me, but of the truth." ”

"The truth?"

"It's about my past with him, and if you're willing to listen, we can say that there's nothing to hide, although I don't usually talk about it with anyone else. Dumbledore said, "You know, Aven, my sister Ariana was sickly, not by birth, but by an accident, when she was a child using magic, she was hit by three Muggle boys, and those three boys did terrible things to her, and since then, she has lost control of magic, and magic is in her body, driving her crazy. My father, Percival, was imprisoned in Azkaban for revenge, where he died tragically, and my mother gave up her life to care for Ariana......"

Although Dumbledore said it simply, the truth was much more cruel and dishonorable.

His father, in order to avenge Ariana, killed the three Muggle boys with his own hands.

Tortured and insane, Ariana becomes a silent being, unable to control the magical power within herself.

In the end, because of an accident, she killed her mother with her own hands.

At this point, both parents died, the family's reputation plummeted, and the task and responsibility of caring for Ariana fell to Dumbledore.
