Summary
Albus Dumbledore falls in love once, at age 17, and spends the rest of his life in self-denial and grief. Why?
Torn from Hogwarts a month before his graduation, he spends a summer lonely until he meets Gellert Grindelwald-- 15 years old, charming, with a wide mouth and an easy smile, and a mission to find the Deathly Hallows.
They are young, self-assured, brilliant, and ready to take on the world--together and in love, and finally in the presence of an equal.
In other words, this is why.
