~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Brother Of Alberforth
~By Pansy Parkinson~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


If you have read the Harry Potter books, you will surely know
who Albus Dumbledore is, but the thing is, nobody knew
him as a child, nobody knew what it was like for him around his home, nobody even asked....

"Yes, that's my boy, the one to the right of me in the photo"

"Who's that boy next to him?"

"Oh, that's my *other son*"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Albus, why must you consistantly ask me stupid questions?
Anyone would think you're adopted, you've got brains the size of a walnut compared to your brother, Alberforth"

"Yes dad, I'm sorry dad"

Said Albus.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"You've been accepted to Hogwarts! Alberforth, you are by far, the son of any mans dreams!"

"Thanks dad! But, Albus will probably get in too, just as soon as he's old enough to go to Hogwarts aswell"

"Well I hope so, then maybe he'll ammount to something more than a great big nuisence, as he's allready so willingly showed our family and friends over the years"

Albus watched from the corner, where he could hear his father saying all these things practically in front of him.
He was used to all this attention going completely to his brother,
and had after many years, given in and started to believe
everything his father said about him.
No matter how many times he heard the same thing
over and over, hearing this from his own parents was still to
much to bare for him. When he did start to give
in with all the insults, he started devoting most of his spare
time, trying to improve himself in various ways.
Some times it would be something as simple as doing his
homework, other times he would volunteer to
do difficult jobs around the house which were probably set for him anyway. All the same, things allways stayed, all the same.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Have you done your homework Alberforth?"

"Yes dad"

"Good, what about *you*"

His father said, glaring at Albus all the while.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Why can't you be like Alberforth?"

"When Alberforth was your age, he could turn a mouse into a brick, why can't you?"

"Do you honestly think that you deserve the same ammount of responsibility as your brother? You'd blow up the whole house if we didn't confiscate your wand every summer break!"

Hogwarts~During Harry's First Year
And The Mirror Of Erised
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What do you see when you look in the mirror?"

"I? I see myself holding a pair of thick, wollen socks"

Albus had not told the truth about what he saw, even Harry sensed it, the truth was, that when he looked into that mirror, he saw himself as a boy, with his mother, father and brother, all looking lovingly down at Albus...his one wish, to be loved.
