Promise Keeper

Aurelius Dumbledore is dead, but not before he gets to spend some of his final days finally feeling love from his only parent. Before he died, he made Aberforth promise him one thing: recover the beloved little sister he left behind in New York and take care of her.Modesty Barebone can't remember a time when life was easy. Born to a poverty-stricken family, and then adopted by a cruel religious fanatic, the only solace she had during those days was her beloved and fragile older brother. Now he's gone too, and she is left wracked with guilt over their last encounter. So, when a man shows up to her orphanage claiming to be her missing brother's long-lost father, she is unsure but decides to trust him.Aberforth has no clue how to raise a child. His only child grew up away from him, and the sister whom he loved so much died right in front of his eyes. While he managed to make it up to Aurelius in his final days, he still can't help but be plagued with guilt over how his son lived. Thus, he is determined to keep his final promise to his son, even if it means raising a muggle in a wizard's world.Will update irregularly because I have no plans on how this series will go and will update whenever I feel like it.

Welcome to my new casual project! I'm a big fan of Fantastic Beasts (although I do have mixed feelings about some things in the movies) and Harry Potter, and I was really curious about what happened to Modesty after the first movie. I am a real sucker for family relationships, especially close bonds between siblings, so I really wish we saw more of those two in the film series. Then I had this idea to incorporate Aberforth into a story with her, and I was really into it. So I hope you all enjoy it!
