what do you mean i have to choose a comfort character who isn’t dead?
Dumbledore’s death is still one of the hardest decisions I had to make. I just came across my notes for that decision and it’s so hard to realize how inevitable it really had to be. Here are my notes, detailing my thought process I try to break down the key components of the HBP finale to understand a) what to do without the locket being stuck in a cave and b) figure out how to save Dumbledore
--Harry and Dumbledore leave to hunt a Horcrux --Dumbledore is severly weakened/injured --Draco kills Dumbledore? but he doesn’t mean it so Dumbledore lives? --Snape kills Dumbledore? but this was their plan all along so D. lives?
If Reg. goes w/Dumbledore and prevents him from trying on the ring, Dumbledore has no inevitable death sentence, so he may make other arrangements to fake his death for Draco’s/Snape’s sake?
If Snape fake-kills Dumbledore, that’s in violation of his Unbreakable Vow and he would die. If Snape makes the Unbreakable vow, either he or D. have to die.
Does Dumbledore/The Order benefit from Dumbledore faking his death? --draw Voldemort out? --Dumbledore’s death allows Voldemort to take over the Ministry -- d. would never allow that if he had a choice --if Dumbledore is made weak, unable to fight, forced into Snape’s and Aberforth’s care that could work? --additional fear of horcrux hunting -----Reg was weak for 2 full yearas -----Dumbledore weakened as well -----what would happen to Harry & co
If Dumbledore did not know he was going to die, he would never teach Harry about Horcruxes.
It ultimately came down to Snape or Dumbledore had to die (because Dumbledore would not save Snape from the Vow unless his death was inevitable; he would expect Snape to die from his mission as double agent), and that Harry needed to learn about Horcruxes before he came of age, before Deathly Hallows began. So... that was that.
me: headcanons most characters I see as asexual unless the canon says otherwise
the majority of the fandom: but!!!! no!!!! my smutty fanfics!!!!!!!!!!!!
me, an asexual, thirsty for representation: I do not care.
