Aurelius Dumbledore

In the first book JK rowling discribes an intense world full of hate and complexities. She discribes very breifly how enter this realm. After many years of expimenting and reaseach I still cant figure out how is she documenting and Harry entering this relam. How do I get there. How dose she know how to. Dose anyone know more information on how to enter this real or experiment with these types of vortexes', maybe shifting?

Who would you have wanted to play Andromeda if she had been in the films it has to be an actress who wasn't in any of the Harry Potter movie franchise, would've casted Naomi Watts since she auditioned for Andromeda's sister Narssica There are plenty of actors who would've been great in the Harry Potter series.

Why exactly is Sectumsempra treated as something horrible and Dark? It's practically just a combat version of Diffindo. In comparison to, say, an exploding spell, you'd think it'd be no big deal. There are plenty of spells that are worse than Sectumsempra yet they're treated as no big deal.

What's the most powerful spells casted by wandless magic & how efficient was it?

I know in canon, wandless magic is a norm in some magical societies but I was wondering how powerful they have been shown to be before I made a Harry Potter OC

I just finished watching Fantastic Beasts: The crimes of Grindelwald for the first time... Oh my gosh. Why did it leave me on a cliffhanger? So Aurelius Dumbledore/Credence is Aberforth's secret son?? Or is he someone else?

Did Credence ever find out that Graves was actually Grindelwald?

Chapter 1 can be found here (I've never posted a multichapter fanfiction on a wiki before; I'm just going to link the previous posts with the chapters in the new chapters.) Also on AO3.

Grindelwald spoke to two of his devoted acolytes, Carrow and MacDuff, just outside the borders of Nurmengard. A good man and woman, a witch and wizard who could be counted on to do whatever he asked without questioning or flinching, who devoutly believed in the greater good.

"Carrow, MacDuff," Grindelwald spoke, his voice deceptively mild yet firm. "You know what is expected of you. Go to New York and find Modesty Barebone, the younger sister of our dear Obscurial. I want her brought to me unharmed." They all knew that the Obscurial had been raised by Muggles - how else would one become an Obscurial, they reasoned - but only Grindelwald, his Legilimens, and now these two knew of the Muggle girl who was so dear to him that he had thought of her as a sister.

His gaze lingered on Carrow, their unspoken understanding echoing between them. While her ruthlessness often served him well, having the girl dead or severely injured would be counterintuitive to his plans. At this point, at least.

"Frightened nearly out of her wits, though," he added, "I would not object."

Carrow smiled wickedly, and he nodded in approval.

MacDuff stood at attention, strong and steadfast. Yet a sense of uncertainty momentarily crossed his face, and he asked, "Two of us for one little Muggle girl? Surely one of us would be enough for a child under ten?"

"Indeed," Grindelwald agreed, "but remember that I ran into some....difficulties the last time I was in New York. Their Magical Congress may hinder your objective."

MacDuff nodded in understanding. If MACUSA had spies on the girl, or even had her under their protection; if their Aurors had laid enchantments to detect any ally of Grindelwald's, if they were caught - this was why two were needed. One of them had to get the girl to Nurmengard. And if the other was caught? No doubt attempts would be made to free them, but sacrifices were often necessary in times such as these. If they were careful, though, they would not need to worry.

Grindelwald had already informed them both of their mission, in a private conversation away from prying eyes - especially the Legilimens and the Obscurial. Now, his final instructions clarified the gravity of their errand. They were both well aware of the task that awaited them, their purpose firmly etched in their minds. If they did not always seek to fulfill his wishes as though they were their own, well, then they would not be his acolytes, would they?

With a subtle nod, Grindelwald dismissed them. Carrow and MacDuff bowed respectfully and Apparated away, leaving behind only the lingering echo of their presence.

It mattered not to him how they got to New York - by ship or Floo or Apparating across islands - or how they would disguise themselves, if at all; how they would ensure that they were not taken into custody, as warrants were out for all his acolytes; or for how they would even find the girl in the first place and get her back here. He trusted his acolytes to do what needed to be done.

As soon as they returned, his grip on the Obscurial's wavering loyalty would be tightened, and the boy would do whatever he said. He only had to wait.

(Did I just look up Grindelwald's acolytes on the wiki page and pick a couple at random? Why, yes, I did.)

These are some headcanons I have about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in no particular order:

• Mary Lou knew that Credence was magic, but only because she thought his mother was Irma Dugard - a half-elf, half-witch would certainly be "wicked" and "unnatural" in her book.

• Leta used to hold her breath under water for as long as she could.

• The only people Credence ever truly cared for were Modesty, Nagini, and Aberforth.

• In present-day, Credence isn't very well-known, because most people don't know that Credence Barebone and Aurelius Dumbledore are one and the same.

• Credence, due to being the one to most often care for Modesty, is surprisingly good with children.

• Credence's aunt on the ship who drowned trying to save Corvus was actually his mother; she only said she was his aunt because she wasn't about to announce that she was the unwed mother of the child she had with her.

• Chastity was a Squib whose magical parents abandoned her in a No-Maj orphanage after they realized she didn’t have magic, only for her to be adopted shortly afterwards by Mary Lou Barebone.

• Aberforth holds a grudge against Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and against the entire Magical Congress of the United States, because Ilvermorny never detected Credence, and because of how badly MACUSA handled Credence’s case, even in present-day, nearly a hundred years later.

• Leta's father purposely sent his son to Mary Lou, figuring that Yusuf Kama would never suspect that young Corvus was in the care of a magic-hater, and that he would come retrieve him once it was save. Only, when he came to get his son back, Credence was there instead.

It had just been a toy. She'd just wanted to look at it. Then she would give it back and Ma would never know and everything would go on as normal.

Now Ma was dead, and Chastity too, flung against the wall with bone-shattering force, limbs askew on the ground. The building was destroyed, the roof falling in, the walls crumbling. Modesty alone had survived, and Credence-

Modesty ran through the night, feet pounding against the pavement, running down streets and alleys with no other thought than to get away, to find the only place she'd ever been safe.

Credence was evil magic, just like Ma had always said. The terrifying dark cloud of destruction had come from him.

It had just been a toy.

She'd seen one of the children who came to get food playing with it, a girl around Modesty's age. Ma made sure to check all the children who came for witch's marks or other signs of witchcraft, so the girl hadn't been playing with it in the hall; she'd been outside in a nearby alley.

Modesty both liked and disliked when the other children came. She liked it, because it was the only time she got to see other children her own age. And she didn't like it, because as Ma's ward, she was different from them, more fortunate than they were, having to rely on others for food. She wasn't one of them. They envied her.

So Modesty rarely, if ever, got to speak with them. But she'd stood and watched this girl play with the wand. She'd been muttering nonsense words and waving the stick around.

And nothing happened.

It didn't look evil or wicked. It just looked like a toy. Like Modesty's dolls.

So she'd asked if she could borrow it, and the girl had agreed, but only if she gave it back the next day. So Modesty took the wand and brought it home and, once in her bedroom, waved it around and made up her own nonsense words. It hadn't felt wicked. It just looked like a stick.

She'd hidden it under her bed, to discreetly return it to the girl she'd borrowed it from the next day. But then Credence had found it.

She'd been terrified he would tell Ma. She'd begged him to put it back, saying that it was just a toy. If it was just a toy she wouldn't be punished too much for it, would she?

Credence always looked out for Modesty, and listened to her. The two of them were much closer than they were to Chastity. But that meant nothing when it came to Ma. They were always supposed to listen to her first.

Then Ma had seen, and Credence had lied to her. They were forbidden to lie, but he'd said the wand was his, to protect Modesty, even though it wasn't. Ma had taken his belt. Then Modesty had said that it was really hers, because she didn't want Credence to get punished, even though she really didn't want to be punished instead. Credence always got beaten. He shouldn't have to be beaten for something he hadn't done.

Then everything had exploded.

Ma was dead. Chastity was dead. Their home was in ruins. Credence was dark evil magic. And it was all Modesty's fault.

If she hadn't brought home the wand in the first place, none of this would have happened.

Modesty sobbed as she ran, more terrified than she'd ever been. She had to get as far away as possible, before the dark Credence magic found her.

It had just been a toy.

In-universe, how is it that no one in the 1990s seems to know of Credence/Aurelius? Surely he would have come up at some point in Magical History? Obscurials are rare, yet alone one that survived to adulthood. The incident in New York alone should have put him in Wizarding history forever, let alone his role in the war with Grindelwald and the events of Bhutan. Not to mention he turns out to be Dumbledore’s nephew - Dumbledore becomes famous after defeating Grindelwald, Credence should have been mentioned at some point at least in passing.

Consider, though, that he is well-known, and people have heard of him.

Only they’ve only heard the name of Credence Barebone, and nobody’s heard of Aurelius Dumbledore.

Or vice versa - people have heard of Aurelius Dumbledore; his identity as Credence Barebone is unknown.

Or maybe people have heard of Aurelius Dumbledore (an illegitimate son of Aberforth Dumbledore who died young. Aberforth doesn’t like to talk about him. Aberforth doesn’t like to talk about most things, really.) and also Credence Barebone (the American Obscurial who joined Grindelwald but defected) but they haven’t connected the two. They don’t know that they’re one and the same.

Or maybe Credence did come up in Magical History but Binns’ class is mind-numbingly boring so nobody remembered him.

How did Dumbledore know who Credence/Aurelius really was, that he really was a Dumbledore? I haven't watched the movie, only read the screenplay. Was it when the phoenix showed up, and he realized that since the bird was here for Credence and not him he must really be a Dumbledore? Was it when Credence told him his real name, and Dumbledore remembered the allegedly dead baby Aurlius? Albus and Credence had not met beforehand, correct?
