Summary: The truth of what Dumbledore sees.
Dumbledore looked into the Mirror, unsurprised to see himself surrounded by his family and happy. There was his mother - Kendra and his father - Percival, his sister - Ariana and his brother - Aberforth. They all looked so happy, waving and smiling at him.
He turned away, knowing if he looked any longer he'd be caught in the mirror's trap and go mad with it all.
He left the room at a fast clip, paying no attention to the tear that trailed down his weathered face to find a home within the white of his beard.
