Work Text:
Once Albus has learnt that words were meaningless he can come to see them as a game. He can start his speeches at Hogwarts with any words he likes, he can lie to anyone and more fool them for not reading the true meaning behind his words. He can say:
death is but the next great adventure
and
I trust Severus with my own life
and it isn't even a lie, it's just meaningless noise, like Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!
There are so many words that don't have any meaning for him, not anymore.
The greater good.
I love you.
