"I hate to break it to you but you were not left on Dumbledore's doorstep. And you were not brought to Aberforth, either."
"Look, Cocky, I know how I grew up-"

Jerry just stared, thinking.
"This is my castle, and you will leave now. And never come back."
"I will do no such thing!" Jerry cried out! "Your father sent me away!"
"Then you are a better person for it!" Morphena yelled at him. "But this did not happen."
"Then let's settle this," said Jerry, drawing out his wand.
"No," said Morphena. "You will know the truth before this is out. If you were truly given to my father he would never have given you away to his brother! It would not be his responsibility. I know Aberforth. My father would never give that incompetent fool a child. My father was..." he forced the words out, "wise. As far as it went. If you were placed on Albus Dumbledore's doorstep he would have used every available resource to put you back with your family."
"I know who I spent years of my life with!"
"If this man you lived with was as bad as you say he was, how can you truly know that he was not simply telling a lie. How do you know that the man you grew up with was not your real father, trying to dodge responsibilty!"
