Enjoy!Summary: The creation of the Sorcerer's Stone by Albus Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel was an enormous leap forward in magical technology. But all the pieces don't add up. Flamel was working on the stone for about 500 years before Dumbledore came along. Dumbledore only helped with the final tweaks a perfections. When the two announced their making to the world, it seemed as if both Flamel and Dumbledore had put in an equal amount of effort into the creation. What else did they do? I think Dumbledore was trying to bring his sister back to life. Here's why. Dumbledore had a stone that gave a person endless life. If his sister was dead, that might be something Dumbledore wanted to use the stone for. The only roadblock here, is the stone only extends a life and doesn't bring it back. What part of Ariana could still have been alive that day? Her obscuruse. Remember Newt Scamander? He had an obscuruse in a bubble. Newt says he got that obscuruse from a little girl around the time Ariana would have died. But we don't see Ariana at all. Where is she? Did it even work? I think it did, but not for the intended reason. An apple seed taken from a tree makes an apple tree, but not the same one. Can you think of another obscuruse creation in that same timeline? Credence. Dumbledore developed an obscuruse as a child. While Dumbledore's life went by, his obscuruse got stronger. When he finally started the process of bring Ariana back to life, some of his obscuruse affected the change. They created something new. And they didn't even know it.Gmail: [email protected]: @thepotterdiscussionWebsite: https://www.thepotterdiscussion.buzzsprout.comHaving anything you want to hear or say?
