The arguments concerning the protection measures for the Philosopher's Stone were very enlightening. Apparently we have a very gray version of the leader of the light in this story. This Dumbledore would rather bite off his tongue before he tells Harry the truth about his life. Unfortunately, this is also very close to canon.
You should have named the chapter "Two Two Faced Men", lol.
Great Update. Thank you!
Author's Response: Precisely. I wanted to take the darkest interpretation of the canon Dumbledore I could, because frankly I couldn't see him as an entirely benevolent presence after finishing the series. One of the core, founding principles of this story was to paint the Dumbledore I see when I read the books.
Hahahah, yeah, putting Dumbledore's development into this chapter was for that very reason.
Thank you :)

I've never been partial to Dumbledore bashing, but I must admit that you've done it brilliantly. Your chapter title, seemingly a simple parallel of canon referring to Quirrell, has a brilliant double meaning with the two Dumbledore explanation scenes before and after the obliviation. The contrast is so stark, to take us from the high-conflict of a Harry and Ginny who have his manipulations all figured out to an almost word-for-word (or was it actually word-for-word?) retelling of the innocent scene from canon. I love the hints you gave that this more powerful Harry is already breaking through the memory charm (and, really, can Ginny be far behind?), and I'm looking forward to the drama that will certainly ensue once he succeeds. And, as always, I look forward to the continuation of this lovely version of the H/G romance!
Thanks for the story!
Author's Response: I won't say anything yet about his character development, but thanks :)
Ah, I was waiting for someone to pick up on that one :D And yeah, I'm sorry, I should've noted in the A/N that I copy/pasted quite a bit. I'll rectify that now.
No comment ;)
Thank you for reviewing!

Great chapter! Though I hope they are able to recover there memories at some point.
The fight scene was really great and I loved how strong you had Ginny and Harry in there, and included the others. I also liked how you had Ginny going off on Dumbledore and explaining everything to her dad.
I love how the twins were already back to their usual methods , planing on letting poor Wood sweat. It's great to see the different sides to them. They can be serious in a fight , smart when they explain how magic works with ruins and wards, and their regular fun loving selves.
Ginny clinging to Harry was probably the sweetest thing though. They are so cute together!
Hope you update soon!:)
Author's Response: Thanks! This chapter was a great one to write for all the reasons you're citing. The twins are definitely some of my favourite characters to explore now and then. And I do love a good fight scene :)
Thanks for the review!
