    Summary

    In the summer of 1899, Albus Dumbledore returns to Godric’s Hollow burdened by grief, responsibility, and the certainty that his brilliance is being wasted in the town.

    Bound to his siblings and haunted by loss, he believes his future has narrowed to endurance rather than greatness. Then Bathilda Bagshot introduces him to her great-nephew, a boy newly expelled from Durmstrang and wholly uninterested in restraint.

    What begins as a friendship turns to more, and what feels like understanding becomes influence.
