Chapter 246 Harry's Choice

Grindelwald is equally talented as Albus. ♝ ♦ ♦♦

"The Muggles were ruled by some elite wizards. At that time, I was deeply attracted by his philosophy."

The corners of Dumbledore's mouth raised slightly, as if he was recalling that good time.

Tragedies like Ariana will never happen again, and wizards like Percival will never die in Azkaban again.

They had made all their plans during one vacation.

Albus decided to take Ariana with him and go with Grindelwald to achieve this.

But his wayward brother appears.

Aberforth accused him of ignoring Ariana's feelings and stubbornly believing that he was doing it for her own good.

"Our argument escalated,

Even the wand was drawn. "

Vincent knew that Dumbledore was right, and so was his brother Aberforth.

Were the three Muggle boys wrong?

No, what is wrong is the antagonism between wizards and Muggles caused by ignorance.

"Gellert cast the Cruciatus Curse on Aberforth, and I had my wand pointed at him."

Dumbledore leaned down and stretched out his hand tremblingly,

Placed on Ariana's gravestone.

"We have all overlooked one thing,

It wasn't until she fell that we stupidly stopped. "

But it was too late, Ariana had already left.

Grindelwald ran away.

And at her funeral, Aberforth broke Albus's nose.

"I don't know whose curse it is. I once asked Gellert specifically. He just smiled and shook his head and said he didn't know."

Albus and Grindelwald parted ways.

From then on, the guilt and regret about Ariana have been with him all the way until now.

Vincent understood.

Since that day, Dumbledore has been trapped in the past.

He resists any change, anything that disrupts the status quo.

"Professor, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

Dumbledore shook his head slightly, "What made me determined to fight against Gellert was actually not his philosophy.

As time goes by, ‘for the greater good’ has completely become an excuse. "

If you want to achieve a successful career, you cannot avoid some dilemmas.

Vincent looked at Aurelius Dumbledore's tombstone, "Professor, who is this?"

"The true master of Fawkes." Dumbledore stood up. "He is another tragedy for our family."

He seemed to have no intention of telling the story.

But just based on Ariana's story,

Vincent has solved the doubts that have troubled him for a long time.

Dumbledore would not initiate change, but he would not object to others doing so either.

He objected,

It's Grindelwald who deviated halfway, and Voldemort who was wrong from the beginning.

“Professor, I will not make a decision that I will regret for the rest of my life.

"very good!"

Three days later, the local court in Surrey accepted Harry's case.

Eric used a few connections to make the entire trial process go very quickly.

The night before the trial, Harry still didn't know what choice to make.

forgive?

Still don’t forgive?

He wanted to find someone to talk to, but whether it was the Wayne family or the Weasley family, all the answers were for him to follow his heart.

"Ron, I can't sleep."

"Please, you've woken me up for the seventh time."

Harry, who was sitting on the bed, nudged him, "I'm going to court tomorrow, and I haven't decided what to do yet."

"Do what you want -" Ron responded weakly.

"You might as well toss a coin before going in. After all, this is decided by fate."

Harry paused.

He didn't look like he was worried about what to choose, but rather like he was looking for an excuse to convince himself.

9 a.m., Surry County Court.

There were many people present at the hearing, and most of them were wizards.

Of course journalist Rita was there.

Vincent smiled at her.

She returned a brighter smile.

The judge in charge of the case didn't pay much attention to it at first, until he received a call from a captain.

Major cases such as child abuse,

It must be taken seriously!

From acceptance to court hearing,

It took less than a week in total.

The Weasleys and Waynes sat in the second row, followed by the Grangers and Diggorys.

Those in the front row are not members of the Dursley family.

But Dumbledore, Fudge and other big guys.

"Connelly, I think their laws have a lot to learn from."

"Is this why you brought the entire Wizengamot here?"

"This is about Harry's future."

Fudge took a deep look at Dumbledore and said, "Albus, you have to know how difficult it is to change the law."

"I know, but everything is constantly changing."

"Let's talk about it later." Fudge said nothing and turned his attention to the two defendants.

No matter what excuses were used, it could not change the fact that Petunia and Vernon were Harry's only relatives.

"Defendant, since you are unwilling to support the plaintiff, why do you keep him at home?"

Petunia did not answer the judge's question directly, but Vernon said that she had a difficulty that she could not tell.

"Family, you are family." The judge shook his head and looked at Harry who was restless.

“Plaintiff, do you agree with the defendant’s statements about ‘punishment’ and so on?”

"I-I-" Harry clenched his fists nervously.

If he approves, his uncle and aunt will be punished by law.

If you don't approve, it's equivalent to forgiving them.

"I don't agree!" Harry gradually unclenched his fists.

"But they are the only family I have and I don't want to see them go to jail for this."

Petunia and Vernon looked at him with horrified faces.

"Your honor, I believe they will make changes."

After everything that happened, Harry still considered them family.

Evelin shook her head slightly at her lawyer friend.

Now that you have made a choice, you should avoid the same thing happening again.

"Your Honor, I would like to petition the court for a supervision order against both defendants until my client reaches the age of majority."

"Is there anyone to supervise?"

"Yes, it's Mr. Eric Wayne."

After a supervision order is made, the supervisor has a duty to provide advice, assistance and support to the child.

During the implementation process, if an emergency situation is encountered, you can also apply to the court for a decree or take emergency protective measures.

With it, if Dursley wants to treat Harry like he did before, he must first get through Eric.

The judge granted the application for a supervision order.

"Defendant, are you willing to accept it?"

Petunia and Vernon looked at each other in silence, and finally nodded silently.

They may have expected this outcome, or they may have made all the mental preparations.

But agreeing to accept the supervision order actually means accepting Harry.
