Chew on this...

Credence Barebone was born in 1901.

Kendra Dumbledore died 1899.

Percival Dumbledore was in Azkaban from 1890.

Conclusion: there is no Aurelius Dumbledore.

Who is Credence Barebone really...

I’m sure if you have seen Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald you have some questions about THAT ending!!!

Once I had time to digest and pick my damn mouth up off the floor I came up with a theory. Spoilers under the cut etc 

The theory is that Credence Barebone/Aurelius Dumbledore is not actually related to Dumbledore but has instead the Obscurus belonging to Ariana Dumbledore as his ‘dark twin’. 

It’s a parasitical force that “dies when the wizard or witch dies” usually by the age of ten. Except we saw in the first movie that Newt managed to trap one within a magical bubble.

So it is, therefore, possible to keep one alive. Newt said in the first film that the Obscurus was harmless without its ‘host’.

It is not too much of a stretch that if Ariana’s Obscurus somehow survived that it could become attached to another host. In this case, Credence Barebone as it is a parasite. 

Where, when and how this happened I have no answers for but we know that Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald were close *wink wink* when they were younger and that its likely Ariana and Gellert would have met. 

Thus he would have known that she was an Obscurial and could have taken measure to trap her Obscurus somehow because he’s Gellert Grindelwald and why wouldn’t he?

“You have suffered the most heinous of betrayals, most purposely bestowed upon you by your own blood. Your own flesh and blood and just as he has celebrated your torment, your brother seeks to destroy you.”

Was Gellert talking to Credence/Aurelius or was he talking to the Obscurus? 

If you accept this theory it explains why a phoenix seems to recognize Credence as a Dumbledore. He has the magic of a Dumbledore within him. 

Also do not pass up the symbolism here. Pheonix’s are reborn from fire...so is it then hinting Credence is Ariana reborn? 

Ariana also lived a few years longer than usual (age 14) for an Obscurial because she had exceptionally powerful latent magic (she’s a Dumbledore after all). Which would explain the sheer strength of Credence’s Obscurus. 

With a wand in his hand, it seems like no-one could beat him. 

Things we know about Credence.

He is not Corvus Lestrange. 

He has an Obscurus that he can control. 

He has lived much longer than usual with an Obscurus.

He has been called a squib. 

Gellert Grindelwald has an interest in him and said he “did it all for you” at the end of the second movie. 

A phoenix chick came to him.

Why it’s always been about Credence.  

Albus and Gellert can’t go face to face in a duel due to their blood pact but Grindelwald does at least think there’s a good chance Dumbledore can beat him (from history we know he does in 1946). So he needs a weapon stronger than Albus and that weapon is Credence.

How it’s going to end. 

We are literally told in the movie by Dumbledore of a possible ‘cure’ that if Credence found the love of his parents so he was no longer isolated and alone (had he been a Lestrange) it could have brought his magic under control. 

“If Credence has a real brother or sister out there who can take its place, he might yet be saved.”

If the Obscurus is Ariana then the LOVE of Dumbledore her brother will bring her under control. 

Things I still do not know. 

Who the heck Credences parents actually were. 

If he’s got magical heritage or was a plain old muggle.

Well I was not wrong?

Wait woah what I want to hear about about this Jackson being bisexual when did this happen you got me excited

It’s just how I read his narrative but I don’t think it’s really any different to how people read Stiles as bisexual. There are things in text that can be interpreted that way if you so wish to do so erm subtext?? 

Yeah so two of the moments that are a big deal to me (there are more than two but I’m not going to go through them all) is the moment in the locker rooms in 2x11: Battlefield where Danny calling Jackson’s name brought him back to himself, so that he could actually warn Danny to stay away, this was BEFORE we were told about the power of a name and the power of human love. 

Peter: There is a myth that you can cure a werewolf simply by calling out it’s Christian name.Derek: It’s just a myth.Peter: Sometimes myths and legends bare a hint of truth. Our name is a symbol of who we are. 

Peter: Even someone as burned and dead on the inside as me knows better than to underestimate the simple, yet undeniable power, of human love.

As far as I am concerned (and I realize if you so wish to do so you can dismiss this completely) this shows that Jackson loves Danny and vice versa. Enough so that he can actually bring Jackson back from disappearing under that “reptilian skin” just like Lydia did in the end.

Peter might have claimed that there was only “one young lady” that could reach him but I disagree. They actually showed Danny bringing Jackson back to himself before the show explained the mythology. There was also a “young man” XDDD

Peter: You need to bring him back.Derek: How?Peter: Through his heart!!!

Jackson never says “I love you” to anyone but he wants to be loved by everyone. The fear of rejection keeps him from opening himself up, yeah, basically he’s a neurotic mess. But you cannot tell me he didn’t love Danny because he did!! :) Danny brought him back for a moment through his heart *slams fists on table*. For a guy that didn’t have “much of a heart to begin with” Danny was one of the only people Jackson truly cared about *gross sobbing*.

Also in addition to that moment  there was this conversation from 2x04: Abomination: 

Danny: You remember all the times I told you you’re not my type?  Jackson: Just do it. Oh, and FYI: I’m everyone’s type.

So, yes “all the times” … how many times has this come up in conversation exactly? How many times has Jackson maybe hit on Danny? In fact what kind of conversations even took place??
