Albus Percival Wulfrick Brian Dumbledore was born in the summer of 1881 to Kendra and Percival Dumbledore in the village of Mould-on-the-Wold. He has two younger sibilings, Aberforth and Ariana. His life was never easy, when he was young he lives the tragedy of her sister Ariana, attacked by three muggles, who seeing her pratcising magic and not understanding, got scared. This destroied Ariana, leaving her deeply signed, this will bring her to suppress her powers, and exploding in random events, mostly brutals.
Percival was led to madness by this, in fact he attacked the three muggles, and was after brought to Azkaban prison, where’ll die years later. Kendra and the three children, were forced to leave the village to escape the accusing eyes of the magical community, they’ll end up in Godric’s Hollow where’ll now Bathilda Bagshot. Albus from now on will become a very reserved person, not only for his father story, but also for the pitful conditions of Ariana.
He’ll attend Hogwarts in the autumn of 1892, and he’ll be sorted in Gryffindor, and he’ll develop the patronus of a phoenix. He’ll at first be target of some prejudices for what his father have done, in fact many fellows classmates will believe that Dumbledore hated muggles just like his father. Instead he’ll from the first moment demonstrate his unsual kindness, getting closer to a young Elphias Doge, who was at the time bearing the aftermaths of Greenish skin and Pockmarks, for this reason no one would want to get close to him. But Dumbledore seemed to see like always, the good in people beyond their past or appereance.
He’ll have a normal school decourse, nor exceptional in fact on his fourth year he’ll accidentally set his four-poster bed on fire, even if his magical skills were clear from the beginning, at some point a professor will declare that
“By the end of his first year, he would never again be known as the son of a Muggle-hater, but as nothing more or less than the most brilliant student ever seen at the school.”
He’ll make such noble friends like: Nicholas Flamel, Bathilda Bagshot, Griselda Marchbanks. He’ll achieve Barnabus Finkley Price for Exceptional Spell-Casting, became the British Youth Representative to the Wizengamot and recieve the Gold Medal for Ground-Breaking Contribution to the international Alchemical Conference. He was even made Prefect, and subsequently Head Boy.
Graduated at Hogwarts, he and Doge will plan a world tour, which will go to dust, because the day before leaving Kendra will be killed by Ariana who had one of her magical outburst accidents. Dumbledore full of bitterness and sadness, left with two brother to raise came back in Godric’s Hollow, where he’ll finally face a bit of luck in Gellert Grindelwald. Just as talented as Dumbledore, he was there looking for the Deathly Hallows; Dumbledore becomes immediately affascinated with the idea of “wizarding domination”, and becomes obsessed with the Deathly Hallows himself. Their relationship grewfaster and they soon became unseparable, Dumbledore started to have feeling for him, they even stipulated a blood path where they swore not to fight each other, never.
But the true nature of Grindelwald fastly come to light, one day Dumbledore was having a go on his younger brother Aberforth, because he was telling him that he shouldn’t spent so much time with Grindelwald, he was negletting Ariana, and she needed him. Even if Dumbledore doesn’t want to hear the truth a part of him knows he’s right, so they start arguing, Grindelwald cast the Cruciatus curse on Aberforth, Ariana will try to stop them, causing a dreadful event: her dead. Strucked by one of the casting spells.
Dumbledore will died in pain and regret, but Aberforth will never know how much he was suffering, and he’ll continue to blame him for her death for years, he’ll even punch Dumbledore breaking his nose, at Ariana’s funeral. After this dreadful ending, Dumbledore will come back to Hogwarts to teach Defense Against The Dark Arts, under the presidency of Phineas Nigellus Black, in the 1910’s he will teach Newt Scamander and Leta Lestrange’s classrom, and when Newt will be expelled years later because he took the blame for Leta when one of her experiments with Javery went wrong putting in danger another student’s life, he will oppose strongly, but there’ll nothing he’ll can do. Newt will be expelled.
In 1938 he’ll rescue from Wool’s Orphanage: Tom Riddle. In 1943 when he became Transfiguration teacher, several muggle-born students were petrified, one of whom killed: Myrtle Warren. Even if Dumbledore suspected from the first moment that Riddle was behind the attacks, another young Gryffindor boy was accused: Rubeus Hagrid. In the meanwhile Grindelwald still at large was bulding up an army, to find THE deathly Hallow: the elder wand. Made of Elder and Thestral Hair, 15′ inches, was consider the most potent wand in the world. He later used it to terrorized the European continent. Dumbledore was asked to fight Grindelwald but not only he couldn’t because of the blood path, but he was even scared that he might know the truth about the spell that killed Ariana, and who had cast it. In 1945 this blood path was abolished and he finally managed to fight and defeat Grindelwald, who was imprisoned for life in Numengard prison. This put an end at the Global-Wizarding War, and guaranteed Dumbledore as award the Order Of Merlin (First Class).
Back to Hogwarts as teacher, he was made Headmaster between 1965 and 1971, succeding Armando Dippet. As one of his first tasks he was approached by Tom Riddle, known only as Lord Voldemort, who asked Dumbledore to be admitted at Hogwarts as teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts. Even though Dumbledore was not aware of the actions of Tom after the graduation, he still denied his application. This was what brought Tom to hate the charge of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, cursing it, and preventing anyone to keep that place for more than one year. If he couldn’t have that position, nobody could.
Even as headmaster Dumbledore showed his greatness, he immediately accepted any kind of student with distinctions: mud-blood, pure-blood, and werewolf as Remus Lupin. The latter was in fact afraid of not can be admitted in Hogwarts because of his nature, he was previously infected by Fenrir Greyback ,another werewolf death eater, when he was only a child, he find instead a home at Hogwarts. He allowed Remus to use the Shrieking Shack as safe place for his monthly transformations.
He founded later the Order of Phoenix to fight Lord Voldemort in the First Wizarding War. He’ll be witness of the prediction of Sybill Trelawney, in fact he was testing her as teacher of Divination when she went in trans revealing the prophecy about Harry Potter:
“The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches… born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies… and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not… and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives… the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies….“
Severus Snape who in that moment was present heard part of the profecy and ws ejected from the tavern by Aberforth, this was the reason why Dumbledore decided to assume her, to protect her from the Death Eaters. Snape told immediately the prophecy he had heard to Lord Voldermort, who will understand the boy the prophecy is talking about is Harry Potter, the son of Lily and James Potter. Snape will subsequently regret his choice, because he’s in love with Harry’s mother, and he’ll become a spy for Dumbledore in exchange of his protection, he’ll also ask him to protect Lily Potter. He will suggest the Potter to use the Fidelius Charm, but they’ll replace their trust in the wrong person Peter Pettigrew who will betray them.
At the death of the Potter’s, Dumbledore discovered that James was possessing the Cloak of Invisibility, already possessing the other two Deathly Hallows this made him a Master of Death. He will take care of bringing Harry to the Dursley, even if they were the worst muggle race in the world, Voldemort could do no harm to Harry as long as he staied with blood-relativies, because of the the spell he placed. That night Voldemort lost his powers, nd the First-Wizarding War endend, but many members of the Order of Phoenix remained killed or worse, as Alice and Frank Longbottom, Neville’s parents. They were driven crazy by Cruciatus Curse they’ve been inflicted by Belatrix Lestrange and Barty Crouch Jr.
In the years after when Harry will join Hogwarts, Dumbledore get closer and closer to the boy, and protect him everyway he can. He cannot find the strenght in fact, to tell him about the prophecy. There will be many times in which Dumbledore gets close to Harry, they becomes more than friend, and Dumbledore becomes a sort of father for Harry. Even if he loves him, he’s still a reserved man, and many times he lies to Harry, he tells him in the Mirror of Erised sees himself holding socks but instead he sees himself with his family. In the year the plan of Voldemort becomes clearer, the next year he introduces Harry to Fawkes, his phoenix, which will help Harry in the destruction of Tom Riddle’s diary, here Dumbledore start to understand the Horcruxes, which become his aim. He will always be on Harry’s side, in the third year, Harry understand that Sirius Black is innocent and so is Buckbeack, and Dumbledore tells him and Hermione how to reach them and save them with a Timeturner. When during the Triward-Tournament Harry’s name appear in the Goblet Of Fire, Dumbledore will be very concerned about Harry but still he’ll let him take part, to understand the events. Here once again we see the dark side of Dumbledore, a man who was only intersted in his aims, offering Harry as bait. The cup turn out to be a port key which’ll lead Harry to Voldemort, who will use him to resuscitate, with the help of Peter Pettingrew. When Harry starts telling anyone Voldemort is back only a few will support him, and Dumbledore will be accused by the Ministry of conspiracy.
This will alarm Dumbledore, aware of the connection between Harry and Voldemort, he will try to detach himself from Harry, believing that this will lead Voldemort not to be tempt to read and upset Harry’s mind. That summer Harry and his cousin are attacked by two dementors, Harry cast Patronus Charm to defeat himself, but still being underage he’ll be expelled. Dumbledore managed to suspend the case, and goes to Wiengamot to defend Harry at his trial, the ministry re-admitted Harry at school but convinced that Albus wants his place, he placed Dolores Umbridge, undesecretary as high-inquisitor of Hogwarts and Defence Against the Dark Arts Teacher. She’ll prevent her students to learn any defense charm, because the Ministry thinks Dumbledore made up Voldemort return only to steal his charge. This will bring the student to form an illegal organization: Dumbledore’s Army; where they could exercise and learn defensive charms. This organization is caught by Umbridge, and her and the Ministry think it’s just the final proof Dumbledore wants his job, so they try to arrest him, but he manged to flee through Fawkes. Umbridge is made headmaster, in the meantime Dumbledore turned out to be wrong, Voldemort make Harry sees his Godfather being tortured in the Department of Misteries, he and some members of Dumbledore’s Army promptly leave to save him. But unfortunately, it turned out to be only a trap, in order to catch the prophecy Sybill had made years before. The duell between Dumbledore’s Army and the Death Eaters ends tragically, Harry looses his Godfather. The Minister is able to see Voldemort, and cannot dent further his return. Dumbledore come back at Hogwarts as Headmaster, and can no long precluding Harry from knowing the truth so he tells him everything about the prophecy.
The following year Dumbledore finally leaves the idea of staying away from Harry, and involving him in his search for horcruxes. He find out he already got two: Tom Riddle’s Diary, and Tom Riddle’s Mom Ring from which he’ll get the curse at his hand. He shows him the memory of Horace Slughorn, telling Voldemort about Horcrux and persuade him to ask Professor Slughorn the true memory. Understood what they’re facing, they leave for a cave in which should be one, the Gaunt’s Locket. They find it at a bottom of an enchanted basin, fill with water which must be drunk. Dumbledore offers himself to drink it, and become extremly weak, he still managed after to defeat the Inferis, dead bodies that have been bewitched from the Dark Lord. They later re-apparate in the astronomy tower, where Dumbledore tells Harry to go to wake up Smape, but as soon as Harry leave Dumbledore finds himself facing Draco Malfoy, who have been charged by the Dark Lord to kill Dumbledore. Draco won’t be able to do it, and Snape will kill Dumbledore instead.
After his death Dumbledore had a huge funeral, with all the kind of people and creatures, even merepeople came to great an immense wizard. He was burried in a white marm tomb, with his Elder wand. Fawkes after his death, will leave Hogwarts forever. Is portrait was being placed in the headmaster’s studio as all the predecessors. He will be substituted by Snape.
Albus Dumbledore’s Portrait
