I think Dumbledore was a tad of a loner. Relying only on himself, so he didn't trust others with what he thought was important information, you know that phrase "If you want it done right do it yourself." ? I think he was a little too fond of that phrease and thought that if he gave away information and delegated duties things wouldn't come out just as he wanted.

That's where i thought my story might be different, my Dumbledore still spent the majority of his life being a loner and because of that still holds to some bad habits, but at the same time he is not alone anymore and his new "family" manages to break through those habits. So he has help.

Thanks!

Ootp happens supposedly in 1995 and she says she had been teaching for 39 and that means she was teaching from the late 50' (1956). But even so I still don't understand where my mistake is since at no point did I say McGonnagall had been Vodemort's teacher. Which means that how long she has been teaching is irrelevant here. Could you please clarify the error because I have been really looking and haven't found it.

if you mean because of this part:

"Sirius sighed and ran a hand through his face, “You know about the legend?” Harry nodded. “About fifty years ago it was rumored that the Chamber had been opened. There were attacks on Muggle-borns and one died. The school almost closed. But then someone was caught and expelled after that girl’s death and no one else was attacked. I personally don’t think they caught the right person. Nor does Dumbledore. I think the real culprit just stopped because it got too risky.” "

“Who was expelled?”

The fifty years come straight from book 2 and I never meant to allude that Dumbledore was Headmaster then, just that he didn't believe Hagrid was responsible and helped him. They said the same in the book.

Please  I would like  to see if it's viable for me to correct the error you found.

Thanks.

Poor Severus. poor your dad!

I loved writing that scene.

Thanks!
