Grindelwald and Dumbledore
the nephew of
Bathilda Bagshot, the writer of A History of Magic and the oldest son of Kendra Dumbledore
Gallert was
the most powerful and dangerous wizard before the Dark Lord existence. He used
to befriend with Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore in his teenage. Their
relationship was built ever since an unintended meeting in his aunty’s house,
Bathilda Bagshot. Both young Albus and young Gallert were in equal intelligent
quality. They shared many ideas and knowledge. Gallert found that Albus is a
brilliant wizard. Gallert enjoyed discussing many great things with Albus.
Nonetheless, there was always a difference between two men who have their head
apart. Gallert believed that pure blood is the first in wizard world, and
wizard is the first in the world. This idea was not approved by Albus.
Regardless of his awful past about an incident with muggles, Albus saw that all
people should be treated equally. However, Albus still believed that Gallert
could be argued.
Albus
wondered how his friend became dangerously interested in collecting and
mastering the Deathly Hallows. His ambition of possessing three master of death
was not in Albus’s right opinion. Albus refused his idea to go wandering with
him to find Hallows as a companion. Albus was confronted by his younger
brother, Albeforth. An accident happened, and nobody knew who casted the curse
that kills Ariana, Albus’s younger sister.
The time
flies. Albus has been trying to forget his past ever since he decided to come
back to Hogwarts as a teacher. He enjoyed himself training young wizards and
gaining so many achievements greatly. On the other hand, Gallert built his
power to fulfill his ambition to reign the world. He became the most powerful
and dangerous wizard in that time.
Albus, was
known to be a friend of Gallert forced to face him. They both dueled although
Albus didn’t want to confront him because Albus was worried that Gallert would
reveal whose curse killed Arriana in that day. Albus won, Gallert was taken to
the prison.
Albus then possessed
The Elder Wand, one of the Hallows. He never used that wand in an ambition of
power. He kept training young wizards, till one day he met a boy, a special boy
with some special talents, a boy who would be the most dangerous wizard after
his best friend, Tom Riddle. He knew something dreadful inside that boy, but he
kept teaching him many good things. He kept his eyes on him for over 7 years
until his graduation.
Years after
his arrival in the school, he became as notorious as Gallert was. He became
even more powerful than Gallert, therefore Albus could not just confront him
straightly. He had to make a plan, a dangerous brilliant plan. But again,
confidence of intelligence licked him to put other people in his brilliant
plan. His plan of setting a Boy Who Lived to face The Dark Lord voluntarily has
taken almost 18 years, and dozen innocent people have died.
Intelligence
is oftentimes dangerous without a good heart to control.
I keep
blaming myself for letting him walking through that lonely path. I feel like I
can’t forgive myself for what he has done. I don’t even think to mark him as my
“past”. We have been together for many years, but I still have no idea how to
connect with him. I can’t find the best way to communicate with him. I’ve learned
many things from him, though I can’t even remember what I have given to him,
probably nothing, I still believe he is a best partner of mine. I need to talk
to him, not for any kind of apology, nor acceptance, but his heart. I never
want to put him in any statement of rivalry, he is better than me in some ways.
I don’t have ability to walk lonely through that path, but he does. I can’t say
anything to comfort him anytime he need, but he can. I can’t take too much
hatred to that people we’ve been discussing for years, but he can. He is always
better than me.
My regret is
growing worse, regret of allowing him living with those thoughts, of not trying
enough to remind him to be faithful in the right way. I was on my edge whenever
we had conversation about people and life. I was worried to be the one who will
be responsible of his bad temper. I tried to remind him to live socially, may be
it wasn’t enough for he kept adoring his brilliant intelligence. I believe that
I did believe that his ideas about intelligence amazed me.
He was a spectacular
man, and I was no one. I was jealous of his knowledge and his ideas. It
motivated me to study harder, harder than ever. I was lucky probably. I don’t
know his thoughts of me become that bad.. but I do care about him. I do want him
to live his life socially, and peacefully. I do need to talk to him that we
have to accept other persons to come into our life. We don’t need to change
ourselves into somebody else, we just need to accept them, and be fair for
there is always a chance for us to be “the wrong”, because we are human beings
whom God placed for some reasons. We can’t always be “the right”, even we have
to believe and learn that in a war we must consider that our enemy is not
always “wrong” and we are not always “right”.
It doesn’t
matter what you did in the past, it matters what you choose now, be that
brilliant spectacular Grindelwald, or that old wise Dumbledore.
