a/n; Yes, I've decided that uploading a bunch of chapters at once will make up for the long wait. This chapter was excedingly difficult.
It's Dumbledore, simplified. Let's put it that way.
Six- Those Voices
Back then, I wasn't wise enough to understand much of anything.
Oh, yes, I was intelligent. Gifted, even. But not wise to the workings of the mind and heart.
I had to go through much to understand what love was.
I'm not sure it helped me much along the way.
After he left - and took with him my pride, my heart, my trust - I began hearing whispers. Whispers that my mind tried to deny hearing.
Is it true?
Was Albus really in love?
But with who?
Surely only a goddess could capture his affections!
Dess.
Goddess.
How wrong those whispers were.
And were they in my mind, or in reality? And what's so dissimilar about the two?
As I grew older, the voices got louder. No longer whispers. Instead, shouts.
He's trying to take over the wizarding world!
You've got to stop him!
You've got to fight him!
Why are you so bloody weak?!
How right those calls were.
I finally mustered the strength to face him. I shut down my mind, I took my wand, and I hurried to meet him as soon as possible.
The sooner I defeated him, the better my sanity would be.
Time flew by from then - acceptance, preparation, pep talks - and came to a screeching halt when I laid eyes on him.
Blonde curls-
-brown eyes-
-lopsided grin-
It all hit me so hard, all at once.
The voices were deafening.
Say it!
Tell him!
You know it's true!
Say it, godamnit!
But I couldn't.
It was so simple.
Three short words that held so much meaning.
And he would never know the truth.
I love you.
a/n; Playing on the Dumblewald relationship there...yeah. I'm well aware of how much it sucked. Moving on...
