The Greater Good
My greatest weakness is that I trust to easily. It was my downfall and continues to be my greatest tragedy. People look at the great Albus Dumbledore for wisdom and guidance but I truth be told, I am terrified of letting them down. They trust in me, believe in me and I don't want them to think I am not capable of being who they need. Harry looks to me for answers to questions I myself don't understand. With wisdom comes loneliness and I have discovered that in the hardest way possible.
Gellert Grindelwald was my first true love. He taught me things I'd have never known without him. Defeating him was the hardest thing I ever had to do. My love for him has taught me so much about life. I simply cannot be trusted with power. That is why I have consistently refused the post of Minister for Magic, even though I may have been able to change the way in which my death came about. Harry deserves better then to trust an old fool like me. Yet I know that he cannot make it on his own. I sit here in this portrait and toss the ring that killed me up and down.
I often dwell on my life like this. It is a bad habit that I can't seem to break. I think back to my beautiful sister Ariana and sigh heavily. I'm still not absolutely certain who threw the curse that killed her that day and it is driving me mad. I still can't help but wonder if it was I who fired that fatal curse. It kills me to know that her death may have been my fault. But there is no time to dwell on the past now, not under these circumstances. There is a war waging on and I cannot afford to miss a thing. This battle will define who wins, the dark side or the light side. For the good of mankind, I sincerely hope that Light wins.
