Disclaimer: Dumbledore's not mine.
A/N: Haha, I was bored.
It's becoming more evident
Much more obvious to me
I thought much more of you
Than you ever thought of me
Dumbledore smiled sadly. Today was the day. The anniversary of the day that he defeated Grindewald. The day he lost his love.
And while everyone else in the world was celebrating the defeat of the dictator, Dumbledore was mourning. Mourning his loss.
Dumbledore looked outside the window, seeing people make merry. His heart ached.
Was this my biggest mistake
Letting myself think you cared
Was I just your marionette
With heartstrings open and bared
Dumbledore walked toward his bed. He sat down slowly on the soft surface and reached for a drawer in his side table drawer. Dumbledore pulled out a picture.
A picture of his love. Gellert Grindewald.
Yes, Dumbledore loved his enemy. Though at first he wasn't an enemy. He was a friend. A best friend.
With me left here still thinking
What was false, what was true
So puzzling and so complex
I'm left to await another clue
Of course his love was unrequited. But love, it was.
Dumbledore couldn't help but notice the little things about him. The way his eyes held a playful glint as they bantered back and forth. How his hair shined in the sun. How his mouth had an ever present smirk on it.
Gellert made his heart swell and butterflies appear in his stomach.
On my heartstings you played
Each left with a loving memory
Yet I still have those questions
Do you ever think about me
And then, there was the betrayal. When Ariana died. When he just left. When he rose, as a tyrant. As a dark lord.
But yet, Dumbledore still loved him. He couldn't help but love him.
That's why Dumbledore didn't kill him. That's why Gellert did not get punished. Yes, he got imprisoned. But he didn't die.
Yes, Dumbledore had loved. He still loved. But his love was not returned.
I'm wondering why all the intrigue
Now why all of this mystery
Why am I left here hanging
Your the one that holds the key
So Dumbledore locked up his heart. And Gellert. Gellert was the only one holding the key.
Review?
