Authors Note: What you are about to read are thoughts I believe Albus Dumbledore must have had. These will jump large amounts of time, but will be in chronological order. These will be as accurate with books as I can get them, and are timed saying Harry is 16 as of July 31, 2003. This will not match all publishing dates, but he was 15 in the last book, which came out before his b-day. If you find errors, let me know, I really am researching it. I know he has a pensieve, work with me people.These will only deal with Harry related issues.
Selections from:
The Diary of
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.
May 6th, 1978: The fifth years were taking their O.W.L.s today, when a horrible event occurred. James and Severus were arguing again, but this time James lost. Remus had always stopped him before, and Sirius always pushed him. When they grow up and mature they will be wonderful, but they will never get over this. I had ignored their pranks, and rather enjoyed a few. Today however, James Potter lost his control and enjoyed the pain of another. Never should anyone want or love to see another in pain, no matter what they have done. That pleasure is the very making of a death eater. Pain leads to anger, and anger will always lead to more pain. Thus, creating a never-ending cycle of sadness.
