You have guessed,, I know, why the Cloak was in my possession on the night your parents diedJames had showed it to me just a few days previouslyIt explained much of his undetected wrongdoing at school! I could hardly believe what I was seeingI asked to borrow it, to examine itI had long since given up my dream of uniting the Hallows, but I could not resist, could not help taking a closer lookIt was a Cloak the likes of which I had never seen, immensely old, perfect in every respect and then your father died, and I had two Hallows at last, all to myself!"
His tone was unbearably bitter
"The Cloak wouldn't have helped them survive, though," Harry said quickly"Voldemort knew where my mum and dad wereThe Cloak couldn't have made them curse-proof
"true," sighed Dumbledore
Harry chanel metallic gilt leather bag waited, but Dumbledore did not speak, so he prompted him
"So you'd given up looking for the Hallows when you saw the Cloak?"
"Oh yes," said Dumbledore faintlyIt seemed that he forced himself to meet Harry's eyes"You know what happenedYou cannot despise me more than I despise myself
"But I don't despise you -"
"Then you should," said DumbledoreHe drew a deep breath"You know the secret of my sister's ill health, what those Muggles did, what she becameYou know how my poor father sought revenge, and paid the price, died In AzkabanYou know how my mother gave up her own life to care for Ariana
"I resented it, Harry
Dumbledore stated it baldly, coldlyHe was looking now over the top of Harry's head, into the distance
"I was gifted, I was brilliant
"Do not misunderstand me," he said, and pain women louis vuitton handbag crossed the face so that he looked ancient again"I loved them, I loved my parents, I loved my brother and my sister, but I was selfish, Harry, more selfish than you, who are a remarkably selfless person, could possibly imagine
"So that, when my mother died, and I was left the responsibility of a damaged sister and a wayward brother, I returned to my village in anger and bitternessTrapped and wasted, I thought! And then of course, he came
Dumbledore looked directly into Harry's eyes againYou cannot imagine how his ideas caught me, Harry, inflamed meMuggles forced into subservienceWe wizards triumphantGrindelwald and I, the glorious young leaders of the revolution
"Oh, I had a few scruplesI assuaged my conscience with empty wordsIt would all be for the greater good, and any harm done prada fairy bags would be repaid a hundredfold in benefits for wizardsDid I know, in my heart of hearts, what Gellert Grindelwald was? I think I did, but I closed my eyesIf the plans we were making came to fruition, all my dreams would come true
"And at the heart of our schemes, the Deathly Hallows! How they fascinated him, how they fascinated both of us! The unbeatable wand, the weapon that would lead us to power! The Resurrection Stone - to him, though I pretended not to know it, it meant an army of Inferi! To me, I confess, it meant the return of my parents, and the lifting of all responsibility from my shoulderssomehow, we never discussed the Cloak much, HarryBoth of us could conceal ourselves well enough without the Cloak, the true magic of which, of course, is that it can be used to protect and cartier watches for women shield others as well as its ownerI thought that, if we ever found it, it might be useful in hiding Ariana, but our interest in the Cloak was mainly that it completed the trio, for the legend said that the man who had united all three objects would then be truly master of death, which we took to mean 'invincible'
"Invincible masters of death, Grindelwald and Dumbledore! Two months of insanity, of cruel dreams, and neglect of the only two members of my family left to meyou know what happenedReality returned in the form of my rough, unlettered, and infinitely more admirable brotherI did not want to hear the truths he shouted at meI did not want to hear that I could not set forth and seek Hallows with a fragile and unstable sister in tow
