Chapter 367 The Return of Parents and Sister! The sunny and cheerful Ariana!
The Dumbledore family cemetery.
The middle-aged versions of Old Deng and Aberforth, along with Dali and Nagini, stood side by side.
Looking at the graves of their loved ones, the two powerful wizards, who had transformed from centenarians back into middle-aged wizards, had tears in their eyes.
Nagini stared at Credence's tombstone, tears welling in her eyes.
Of course, Credence, the former name, does not appear on the Dumbledore family's tombstone; only the name Aurelius Dumbledore is inscribed on it.
"Dali, please begin!"
Old Deng, whose voice had become younger, said, "I feel younger too."
Upon hearing this, Dali nodded slightly and raised his hand to cast a spell.
Once you've done something like opening a grave or coffin, you get used to it after a couple of times.
After raising his hand, Keda Li thought of some details, and his magic remained hidden.
"What's wrong, Dali?" Old Deng asked, puzzled.
"I was thinking about the Obscurials and the Silent Ones."
Dudley didn't hide anything and explained directly, "Aurelius was already an adult before he died, and he had experienced the hardships of human relationships and deceit, which had given him a mature mind and understanding."
Although his body was eventually ravaged by the ever-growing Obscurus within him, weakening him to death, his will had triumphed over the Obscurus.
But your sister, Miss Ariana, was different. To be honest, the psychological trauma Miss Ariana suffered from being bullied by three Muggle boys was not fully healed until her accidental death.
This psychological trauma is the root of the silent events that occurred within Miss Ariana.
Without healing psychological trauma, one cannot truly overcome it.
Miss Ariana never completely overcame the Obscurus within her, although, like Aurelius, she barely survived the Obscurus's ten-year lifespan, but this was largely due to her exceptional magical talent.
So my question is... if we resurrect Miss Ariana, is it necessary to retain the memory that caused this psychological trauma?
"I can handle the influence and harm that the Obscurials caused to Miss Ariana, but my concern is that if I don't erase this memory from her, she might create new Obscurials after her resurrection."
"Eliminate it!" x2
As soon as Dali finished explaining, Old Deng and Aberforth spoke in unison without hesitation.
They reached a high degree of consensus on this issue.
“If Ariana hadn’t already developed Obscurus, erasing her memories would have been useless and might even have had the opposite effect, our parents would have used the Obscuration Charm on Ariana long ago.”
Aberforth's face showed a look of reminiscence, his expression filled with sadness. "Now that we can eliminate the Obscurus, there is naturally no need to retain that memory that was a nightmare for Ariana."
She was only fourteen when she died, which was too cruel for her.
As for Aurelius, as you said, Dudley, the hardships he endured have become his spiritual wealth, so there's no need to erase his repressive childhood memories.
Hearing Aberforth say this, Dali's impression of him became even more positive.
Dudley was able to think this way because he was an outsider, from the perspective of an observer.
Aberforth... could be described as a kind older brother and a strict father on this matter.
However, if Dudley were in Aberforth's shoes, he would make the same choice.
"Alright! I'll revive your parents first!"
Without further hesitation, Dudley waved his hand, and Percival and Candela's graves followed in the footsteps of the Potters' graves. The tombstones, the soil covering the graves, and the coffin lids automatically took off, revealing the rotten bones inside the coffins.
Subsequently, the conceptual restoration spell was activated, restoring the deceased's body. The Death Reception Curtain once again expelled two souls, merging the soul and body into one, thus completing the resurrection.
Furthermore, considering that Percival was tortured to death in Azkaban, Dudley also restored his physical and mental condition to its peak.
While he was at it, he also did the same repairs on Kandla, who had died from the effects of Ariana's Obscurial.
They brought Old Deng's parents back to life, and they were in their forties but in excellent health.
【Congratulations to the host! 】
[Successfully resolved a Class B tragic incident - the death of both parents!]
[The host resurrected Albus Dumbledore's parents, who had been dead for many years, giving Dumbledore's long-desired sense of family a real place to belong.]
This unfortunate incident has been resolved perfectly.
[Special offer, fixed reward: 1 B-level fusion opportunity.]
[Bonus Reward: 1 B-rank fusion opportunity.]
[Currently available magical item fusion opportunities: S-rank *4 time, A-rank *2 times, B-rank *6 times, C-rank *3 times.]
Two more Class B fusion opportunities have been secured.
Dali was slightly pleased, but remained calm. At this point, a mere B-level fusion opportunity was no longer enough to make him shout with excitement.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged Deng and Aberforth had already gone up to them, explaining their identities to their parents who were still in shock from their resurrection, and telling them the whole story.
Dudley and Nagini waited a while, until the four men calmed down and Percival and Candela understood the situation, before they stepped forward to exchange a few pleasantries.
Dudley then got straight to the point, shifting everyone's attention to Ariana's grave.
With another wave of his hand, he tore up Ariana's grave.
Old Deng quickly made some noise and, together with Abu Fusi, used his hands to block his parents' view of his sister's remains.
Dudley didn't let Old Man Deng and Aberforth do useless work, and quickly activated the Conceptual Restoration Charm.
"Restore! Body, soul, and attire, back to the moment before death."
Psychological trauma, physical injury, and related memories of the harm are not included in the recovery process!
Unpleasant memories encountered while wandering in the world of the dead are not eligible for restoration!
The occult hormones that developed in the body before death are not eligible for recovery!
Dudley did an even more meticulous job of resurrecting Ariana.
Soon, a healthy and quiet 14-year-old girl appeared before everyone.
It was Ariana after her resurrection.
Moreover, in terms of temperament, she was less gloomy and more sunny and cheerful than the Ariana in the memories of Old Deng, Aberforth, and their parents.
"Mom and Dad!" Ariana quickly recognized her parents and skipped over to them.
The two elderly people, their eyes brimming with tears and filled with excitement, embraced her.
Then, Ariana asked the two older men beside her, "Are you my uncles? You look a bit like my brothers, but they're not as old as you."
Ariana's innocent remark amused Aberforth, who was filled with tears.
He took his sister from his parents' arms, holding her in one arm and gently stroking Ariana's hair with the other, his voice soft but trembling as he spoke:
“Ariana, I am Aberforth! Your brother.”
