There are always fics of Harry going back but ngl would love if a teen Albus shows up in HBP lmao

WAIT SAY MORE because I am super intrigued by this idea

(and for Albus to come back during HBP SPECIFICALLY when Harry has already gone through having Albus fall (somewhat) off his pedestal??? when they are for the first time starting to talk to each other as though they are Equals, because Dumbledore is dying and he has to make sure Harry is ready for what will come??? delicious. delicious.)

There's also so much funny stuff like:

[Dumbledore-the-elder is teaching Harry about young-Tom's early crimes and cult-fashioning... Harry is like "this guy fucking sucks bro why would he do this"]

[...meanwhile here comes sixteen-year-old Albus, hasn't met Grindelwald yet but is still cooking all those rule-over-the-benighted Muggles ideas in his head, because of what happened to his father and Ariana. And then he meets Harry. Who will not stand for that kind of nonsense but is also ?!?!?!? at the nonsense coming from Albus Dumbledore.]

You are cooking.

“Maybe a man in a million could unite the Hallows, Harry. I was fit only to possess the meanest of them, the least extraordinary. I was fit to own the Elder Wand, and not to boast of it, and not to kill with it. I was permitted to tame and to use it, because I took it, not for gain, but to save others from it.”
