Why this must be read:

This is a wonderful character study of Dumbledore, showing him during the pivotal scenes of his life and how he grew and changed. I love how human he is here, so arrogant and brilliant and flawed. I can't remember to have read a better portrayal of Dumbledore. Truly extraordinary.

"Forgive me." - "What for? You didn't kill her." The words might have been reassuring had Aberforth's tone not been quite so disgusted. "Wasn't that what you told the Aurors when they came around? What we all told them? What we agreed?" He almost spat the words at Albus now, bristling with a fury too great to be held in. "Accidental death. Self-defence. Magic gone wild and no way to calm her. Terrible tragedy, but what could anyone do?"
