Word count: 100
Rating: If Albus had his way, it would be higher than a 'G'

***

Harry was uncertain what drew him to the Room of Requirement that afternoon, but the last thing he expected to find within was Professor Dumbledore, sitting cross-legged on the dusty floor, gazing into a very familiar mirror.

Why Harry didn't see the reflection of his own desire was a mystery, but the image in the glass was clear.

With one hand, Dumbledore - young, auburn-haired - held a pair of woolen socks. His other hand, white and unblemished, stroked the cheek of a handsome young man with golden-blond hair.

When the two men kissed, Harry departed, leaving Dumbledore to his heart's desire.

Aw, socks and Grindelwald.

bethbethbeth July 26 2009, 20:08:40 UTC

I almost left out the socks, but that would have been a crime. :)

Aw, this is lovely and bittersweet. I need to find some good quality young!Albus&Grindelwald fic.

bethbethbeth July 26 2009, 20:10:50 UTC

Thank you! And if you find any really good (non-PWP) fic, link me please!

I found that there's a bunch listed in daily_snitch's Dumbledore special edition.

Oh. Oh, that's so sweet. And heartbreaking. And gah. I think you just made me sniffle for Dumbledore, damn you, Beth. \0/

bethbethbeth July 26 2009, 20:11:59 UTC

thank you, my dear (... meanwhile, I've been sniffling for Dumbledore since we saw HBP)

la_dissonance July 26 2009, 05:10:07 UTC

Awww, this is so sad and sweet... and I love the fact that Dumbledore wasn't lying about the socks, except he sort of was, of course. I very much like this version. :D

bethbethbeth July 26 2009, 20:13:09 UTC

thanks so much! And yes, Albus doesn't lie, he just...leaves some things out.

gmth July 26 2009, 05:38:15 UTC

Lovely!

bethbethbeth July 26 2009, 20:13:29 UTC

Thank you!

bonfoi July 26 2009, 05:50:54 UTC

You worked wool socks in! Oh, my! *LOL*

bethbethbeth July 26 2009, 20:14:01 UTC

Hee. It wouldn't be a Dumbledore ficlet without socks. :)

lilacsigil July 26 2009, 07:29:45 UTC

This is so sweet - a spot of domestic bliss for Dumbledore. I like the hint that Harry, by seeing the image, also desires Dumbledore to be happy and feel loved.

bethbethbeth July 26 2009, 20:15:13 UTC

Thank you...and you know, I hadn't quite considered that for Harry, but now I'm stealing your observation and pretending I'd intended to write that, because...yes.
