The
two
young
men
were
staying
at
the
Leaky
Cauldron
in
London
,
preparing
to
depart
for
Greece
the
following
morning
,
when
an
owl
arrived
bearing
news
of
Dumbledore
's
mother
's
death
.
"
Dogbreath
"
Doge
,
who
refused
to
be
interviewed
for
this
book
,
has
given
the
public
his
own
sentimental
version
of
what
happened
next
.
He
represents
Kendra
's
death
as
a
tragic
blow
,
and
Dumbledore
's
decision
to
give
up
his
expedition
as
an
act
of
noble
self-sacrifice
.
Certainly
Dumbledore
returned
to
Godric
's
Hollow
at
once
,
supposedly
to
"
care
"
for
his
younger
brother
and
sister
.
But
how
much
care
did
he
actually
give
them
?
"
He
were
a
head
case
,
that
Aberforth
,
"
says
Enid
Smeek
,
whose
family
lived
on
the
outskirts
of
Godric
's
Hollow
at
that
time
.
"
Ran
wild
.
'
Course
,
with
his
mum
and
dad
gone
you
'd
have
felt
sorry
for
him
,
only
he
kept
chucking
goat
dung
at
my
head
.
I
do
n't
think
Albus
was
fussed
about
him
,
I
never
saw
them
together
,
anyway
.
"
So
what
was
Albus
doing
,
if
not
comforting
his
wild
young
brother
?
The
answer
,
it
seems
,
is
ensuring
the
continued
imprisonment
of
his
sister
.
For
,
though
her
first
jailer
had
died
,
there
was
no
change
in
the
pitiful
condition
of
Ariana
Dumbledore
.
Her
very
existence
continued
to
be
known
only
to
those
few
outsiders
who
,
like
"
Dogbreath
"
Doge
,
could
be
counted
upon
to
believe
in
the
story
of
her
"
ill
health
.
"
Another
such
easily
satisfied
friend
of
the
family
was
Bathilda
Bagshot
,
the
celebrated
magical
historian
who
has
lived
in
Godric
's
Hollow
for
many
years
.
Kendra
,
of
course
,
had
rebuffed
Bathilda
when
she
first
attempted
to
welcome
the
family
to
the
village
.
Several
years
later
,
however
,
the
author
sent
an
owl
to
Albus
at
Hogwarts
,
having
been
favorably
impressed
by
his
paper
on
trans-species
transformation
in
Transfiguration
Today
.
This
initial
contact
led
to
acquaintance
with
the
entire
Dumbledore
family
.
At
the
time
of
Kendra
's
death
,
Bathilda
was
the
only
person
in
Godric
's
Hollow
who
was
on
speaking
terms
with
Dumbledore
's
mother
.
Unfortunately
,
the
brilliance
that
Bathilda
exhibited
earlier
in
her
life
has
now
dimmed
.
"
The
fire
's
lit
,
but
the
cauldron
's
empty
,
"
as
Ivor
Dillonsby
put
it
to
me
,
or
,
in
Enid
Smeek
's
slightly
earthier
phrase
,
"
She
's
nutty
as
squirrel
poo
.
"
Nevertheless
,
a
combination
of
tried-and-tested
reporting
techniques
enabled
me
to
extract
enough
nuggets
of
hard
fact
to
string
together
the
whole
scandalous
story
.
Like
the
rest
of
the
Wizarding
world
,
Bathilda
puts
Kendra
's
premature
death
down
to
a
backfiring
charm
,
a
story
repeated
by
Albus
and
Aberforth
in
later
years
.
Bathilda
also
parrots
the
family
line
on
Ariana
,
calling
her
"
frail
"
and
"
delicate
.
"
On
one
subject
,
however
,
Bathilda
is
well
worth
the
effort
I
put
into
procuring
Veritaserum
,
for
she
,
and
she
alone
,
knows
the
full
story
of
the
best-kept
secret
of
Albus
Dumbledore
's
life
.
Now
revealed
for
the
first
time
,
it
calls
into
question
everything
that
his
admirers
believed
of
Dumbledore
:
his
supposed
hatred
of
the
Dark
Arts
,
his
opposition
to
the
oppression
of
Muggles
,
even
his
devotion
to
his
own
family
.
The
very
same
summer
that
Dumbledore
went
home
to
Godric
's
Hollow
,
now
an
orphan
and
head
of
the
family
,
Bathilda
Bagshot
agreed
to
accept
into
her
home
her
great-nephew
,
Gellert
Grindelwald
.
