Astonished
and
appalled
though
his
many
admirers
will
be
,
this
letter
constitutes
proof
that
Albus
Dumbledore
once
dreamed
of
overthrowing
the
Statute
of
Secrecy
and
establishing
Wizard
rule
over
Muggles
.
What
a
blow
for
those
who
have
always
portrayed
Dumbledore
as
the
Muggle-borns
'
greatest
champion
!
How
hollow
those
speeches
promoting
Muggle
rights
seem
in
the
light
of
this
damning
new
evidence
!
How
despicable
does
Albus
Dumbledore
appear
,
busy
plotting
his
rise
to
power
when
he
should
have
been
mourning
his
mother
and
caring
for
his
sister
!
No
doubt
those
determined
to
keep
Dumbledore
on
his
crumbling
pedestal
will
bleat
that
he
did
not
,
after
all
,
put
his
plans
into
action
,
that
he
must
have
suffered
a
change
of
heart
,
that
he
came
to
his
senses
.
However
,
the
truth
seems
altogether
more
shocking
.
Barely
two
months
into
their
great
new
friendship
,
Dumbledore
and
Grindelwald
parted
,
never
to
see
each
other
again
until
they
met
for
their
legendary
duel
(
for
more
,
see
chapter
22
)
.
What
caused
this
abrupt
rupture
?
Had
Dumbledore
come
to
his
senses
?
Had
he
told
Grindelwald
he
wanted
no
more
part
in
his
plans
?
Alas
,
no
.
"
It
was
poor
little
Ariana
dying
,
I
think
,
that
did
it
,
"
says
Bathilda
.
"
It
came
as
an
awful
shock
.
Gellert
was
there
in
the
house
when
it
happened
,
and
he
came
back
to
my
house
all
of
a
dither
,
told
me
he
wanted
to
go
home
the
next
day
.
Terribly
distressed
,
you
know
.
So
I
arranged
a
Portkey
and
that
was
the
last
I
saw
of
him
.
"
Albus
was
beside
himself
at
Ariana
's
death
.
It
was
so
dreadful
for
those
two
brothers
.
They
had
lost
everybody
except
each
other
.
No
wonder
tempers
ran
a
little
high
.
Aberforth
blamed
Albus
,
you
know
,
as
people
will
under
these
dreadful
circumstances
.
But
Aberforth
always
talked
a
little
madly
,
poor
boy
.
All
the
same
,
breaking
Albus
's
nose
at
the
funeral
was
not
decent
.
It
would
have
destroyed
Kendra
to
see
her
sons
fighting
like
that
,
across
her
daughter
's
body
.
A
shame
Gellert
could
not
have
stayed
for
the
funeral
...
He
would
have
been
a
comfort
to
Albus
,
at
least
...
"
This
dreadful
coffin-side
brawl
,
known
only
to
those
few
who
attended
Ariana
Dumbledore
's
funeral
,
raises
several
questions
.
Why
exactly
did
Aberforth
Dumbledore
blame
Albus
for
his
sister
's
death
?
Was
it
,
as
"
Batty
"
pretends
,
a
mere
effusion
of
grief
?
Or
could
there
have
been
some
more
concrete
reason
for
his
fury
?
Grindelwald
,
expelled
from
Durmstrang
for
near-fatal
attacks
upon
fellow
students
,
fled
the
country
hours
after
the
girl
's
death
,
and
Albus
(
out
of
shame
or
fear
?
)
never
saw
him
again
,
not
until
forced
to
do
so
by
the
pleas
of
the
Wizarding
world
.
Neither
Dumbledore
nor
Grindelwald
ever
seems
to
have
referred
to
this
brief
boyhood
friendship
in
later
life
.
However
,
there
can
be
no
doubt
that
Dumbledore
delayed
,
for
some
five
years
of
turmoil
,
fatalities
,
and
disappearances
,
his
attack
upon
Gellert
Grindelwald
.
Was
it
lingering
affection
for
the
man
or
fear
of
exposure
as
his
once
best
friend
that
caused
Dumbledore
to
hesitate
?
Was
it
only
reluctantly
that
Dumbledore
set
out
to
capture
the
man
he
was
once
so
delighted
he
had
met
?
