This is just a quick idea I had a few day ago, I thought it would make a cute little one shot. Just a little peak into Albus Dumbledore's mind, and the reason, perhaps, he is so candy obsessed.
££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££I'm just an old man. Not sneaky at all. No I leave that to the Slytherins.
I'm just an old eccentric man, with a love for candies of all types.
Yes, yes, It perfectly innocent, my offering you a piece of candy.
I'm not known as the most powerful wizard in the world because of my candy, but every little thing helps.
Ah, Minister Fudge, what a pleasant surprise, you say it's important, Can I interest you in a lemon drop?
You must have a lemon drop, I say as always, just before an interview starts.
Only to lighten the mood before we talk about Death Eaters and mass murders.
Mmmmmmm. It's so scrumptious. Look at my eyes twinkling in overdrive.
Are you sure you don't want a piece of candy?
Don't break eye contact...because it's not...ah ... polite.
I am glad you are enjoying your candy.
That is a most interesting memory I just saw, I will have to ask you about that a little later.
Oh, don't be silly! I would never use my precious candy to distract your mind, so that I may sneak in for a quick peak, I am prepared to say, just in case he decides to accuse me.
Really, I never use Legilimency for any reason especially that, I add mentally, because it never hurts to be ready.
You need my advice? Ah, I see you do. Now, were I you, I would assign Aurors to key magical sites, such as Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade etcetera, etcetera, we babble on for quite a while.
Now is when I am glad I offered him the Lemon Drop, I think mischievously. For then I ask him if I can offer him a small bit of personal advice.
He nods, looking almost eager.
I then say to him that he really shouldn't cheat on his wife.
Oh, no! He fainted!
Thank the gods for lemon drops!!
The End
