Sorry to say that this will be going on the backburner for a bit while I figure out where it is supposed to go. I have several notebooks full of possibilities that sadly do not fit with the over all story.
Chapter 13: Strange Magic
Daily Prophet Special Edition
Dumbledore is he Daft or is he Dangerous. Me, Myself, and I want to know.
Hello my darling readers. We have breaking news this evening. Seems a beloved headmaster and champion of the light against both Grindelwald, and You Know Who, had some sort of mental breakdown earlier today. Witnesses have informed me that he was casting spells not only at the staff, but also had targeted several students. Please remember that this is the man who believes that love is the strongest power of light. What dark magics have taken hold in his soul?
See page 3 for discussions on Dumbledore's long-term affairs with several dark wizards.
Dumbledore was seen at Saint Mungo's earlier today getting checked in to the Janus Thicky ward. Whatever has happened seems to have caused enough trauma, to require long term services of mind healers, and curse removal medics. One healer leaving the ward could be overheard complaining of the damage that his practicing of the Dark Arts has caused. "His aura reeks with it," they went on to say. "Never in the two decades of working here have I ever seen someone that had been around the Dark Arts that much."
Yes, you heard it here first, Dumbledore has become a practitioner of the Darkest of Arts. The staff of Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry have refused to comment on this matter. What pray tell are they hiding from us? Is this something that we need to worry about? Is there a new class devoted to the practice of these forbidden magics? Parents, please for the good of our world please check over your children when they come home for the Christmas holiday. They may be hiding dangerous texts that have been assigned. They may be under similar curses. Or worse yet, have lost themselves to this diabolical practice.

Is this why the innkeeper doesn't speak with him anymore? Was this heinous sororicide the reason the headmaster turned to the dark arts?
See back for more details.
