sometimes it’s like oh, huh, albus i guess isn’t all that old for a wizard?
........and then you realize he probably went to school around the same time as henry and then outlived herny’s son fleamont and henry’s grandson james, so. . .maybe he really is.

telling his friends that they could go on without him. fleamont marched through the soon empty classroom towards his teacher. “ hello proffesor, my name is fleamont potter. i wonder if you have time to answer some questions? ”
unlike what it seemed most teachers at the school his transfiguration was young, this was seemly the first year for both of them and that made fleamont extremely nervous. he wanted to become an auror, he couldn’t afford some clueless young man who had no prior experience and couldn’t teach a toad to swim.———-not that fleamont had seen it in class today. the opposite actually, the teacher had been quite competent but fleamont need more to be reassured. transfiguration was already hard enough for him. so he need to know from the start how much he would have to do on his own.
“- ——is it true that you have no previous experience teaching?”
albus swallows his amusement, adopting a similarly serious expression that the boy also wore. behind him, rarely far from him even now that they’ve settled into hogwarts, fawkes perches on the edge of the nearby chair, gazing at fleamont curiously, magnificent head tilting to one side.
at the question, albus clears his throat to keep from laughing, managing to keep his serious facade. “ that’s, in fact, not true, mr. potter. i taught for three years before going on a sabbatical, which i’ve only now just returned from. if you’re worried about my ability to teach this class, i’d be more than happy to point in the direction of the articles i’ve written for transfiguration today.”
@goldensaviour : appears.
me: welp, guess it's time to cry over harry & dumble.dore again.
reminder that albus dumble.dore is a mama's boy.
People: the duel takes place in riddle's last year, we might see him in FB movies!!
Me: but are we going to see a baby hagrid and how he is albus's Actual Son or. . . .??
‘my ! character would never put up with dumble.dore’s shit ! ’ ‘ my ! character would throw hands with dumble.dore ! ‘ ‘ my ! character would see through dumble.dore’s shit !’
#// 1) characters believing dumbledore / being on his side is LITERALLY USED IN TEXT to show a character being a Good Guy(tm)#so maybe think twice before being like ~yeah my character is in the order but is like LOL fuck dumbles though~#2) only HARRY and SNAPE are allowed to do any of the above#3) majority of the shit harry and co put up with through the course of the series is primarily either THE MINISTRY'S or VOLDEMORT'S fault#and albus is the one doing damage control so they maybe don't die. but i guess we just leave reading comprehension at the door#i. OOC / TBD.
Alchemy is best known for its belief that lead can be transmuted into gold. However, the transmutation of non-precious metals into gold is simply a metaphor for the soul being freed from a "dead, leaden state of mind," to that of realising its own light nature and that is derived from pure spirit. (x)
my hot take for the month: albus is a better alchemist than flamel because he understands this fundamental truth of alchemy, whereas flamel cares more about what he can get out of alchemy (such as immorality).

It is time to go back, my dudes.
PRIMARY: BURNED GRYFFINDOR
A burned Gryffindor still thinks it’s important to try to do the right thing. They just have some doubts, insecurities, or cynicism around the idea that anyone can know what “right” is. The world would be easier if they could trust their gut, but they know they can’t. They still strive to do what they can, and often build a constructed morality system (or adopt an external legal, philosophical, or religious code) in order to live as well as possible. But unlike a Ravenclaw Primary, who would be satisfied and righteous using this external system, a burned Gryffindor will always be disappointed and even guilty using this out-sourced moral system.
SECONDARY: GRYFFINDOR
Gryffindor Secondaries are more likely to change their volume than their content. They can hold their tongue. They can be polite, patient, proper people—but when the going gets rough or the rough get going you can find a Gryffindor Secondary by the way their problems are met head on rather than subverted, negotiated, or cajoled. They have an efficiency so direct it can be almost combative.
Gryffindor secondaries can be subtle, skilled, and even quiet, but they will cut to the core of things unflinchingly. They will sacrifice social harmony, reputation, and peace before they sacrifice their own outward integrity.
Gryffindor secondaries can be an interesting mix of stand-up integrity and mischievous rule-breaking and chaos. These potentially conflicting traits fall to this— Gryffindor Secondaries are self-defined. Their integrity and their honesty is a deal with themselves, not others.
It can be easy to overlook the efficacy of the Gryffindor secondary when distracted by their tactics. Friends (and opponents) will forget that simplicity and directness of method says nothing about the level of complexity and intelligence in their motivations. Honesty means neither shallowness nor immaturity. The drive and ability to cut to the heart of matters which backs up a Gryffindor’s directness makes them powerful in conflict and refreshing in friendship.
