Summary: Well now, seeing as everyone has told you their tale of running away, I believe it is now my turn. I am known to be "off my rocker" quite a bit. But others also see me as a wise old man who knows everything going on inside Hogwarts castle. Both are true, I suppose, but the former is far more believable. One-shot. Very short. In Dumbledore's POV.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything from the Harry Potter series and I really wouldn't want to. It would be way too much responsibility for me.
This is my first fanfic. I'm on summer vacation and I just felt like writing something. Very short, but it has a point to it... sort of. Drop a review and tell me what you think!
Running Away- Dumbledore's Quirky Fear
Well now, seeing as everyone has told you their tale of running away, I believe it is now my turn. I am known to be "off my rocker" quite a bit. But others also see me as a wise old man who knows everything going on inside Hogwarts castle. Both are true, I suppose, but the former is far more believable. And the story I am about to tell you will easily prove my point. You see, my story is not about running away from home, civilization, feelings, or about an evil nitwit who thinks he can rule the world. My tale is about a type of candy- Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans to be exact.
Now I do have a rather big sweet tooth. I especially love muggle candies. I can trust that they won't taste like blood or burn a hole through my tongue. Anyway, I did tell Mr. Harry Potter this story a few years ago, but it was a bit modified. But, I'll just tell it again. I used to love Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans as a young lad. I thought they were fairly interesting because they actually did have EVERY flavor. I don't remember coming across any ill-flavored beans as a child. I believe my mother picked out all the suspicious looking ones. So, I usually had the fruit flavors or the regular ones that tend to be in a box of normal jelly beans.
Then, my mother stopped picking out the bad beans. I suppose she got tired of sorting through all the beans and throwing away over half the box at times. Candy didn't exactly come cheap when I was a youngster either. I somehow managed to resist all the foul-flavored beans for quite some time. But finally, on one horrible day, I encountered the worst flavored Bertie Bott bean ever made.
I had honestly thought it was a rainbow sherbet flavored bean. It was colorful and looked inviting. But, when I popped it into my mouth and began chewing it, I realized it wasn't a rainbow sherbet bean. It was a dreadful, terrible, disgusting vomit-flavored bean. From then on I detested Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. I utterly loathed them. I literally ran away each time anybody offered me anymore beans.
I finally tried facing my fear of the beans the day I had had a conversation with Harry in the hospital wing. An admirer of his had sent them to him. I picked up a bean that I thought was a nice toffee flavored bean. It turned out to be earwax instead. I didn't spit it out, I endured it. But I did go back to my office to enjoy a full bag of muggle lemon drops and a nice cup of tea. So now you know. Albus Dumbledore, fearless headmaster of Hogwarts School, cannot stand Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.

That's it! This is done! The series is done! I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed my story. Well, there's only one review to thank this time.
Jordan- Hi! Thanks for the review. Sorry about not having a Malfoy chapter. I got a request for a Snape chapter too, but I couldn't think of anything. Update YOUR story soon!
Anyways, I'm thinking about writing another story. I have part of it written, but I don't know if I should publish or not. It's going to be like a musical where the characters sing. And it's not musical type songs either, but more punk-rocker-ish. Most of the songs I'm thinking about are from Good Charlotte, mostly because they're one of my favorite bands. Other songs are from Avril Lavigne, Blink 182, and Hoobastank. It's going to be during the Marauder era. What do you think? Well, Reply back and tell me what you think! And in the words of Tino Tonitinni, Later days!
