This is so well written. I am enjoying every word.

The writing is exceptional, however, I'm not entirely sure that the age difference can be accepted. I myself am 18, and I just can't see it. Also, ALbus Dumbledore seems to have a certain--purity, that makes this plot a little hard to believe.

Author's Response: An age difference like this certainly isn't for everyone. I guess I'm of the persuasion that years are not the only measure of time, and so age is not often an issue in the equation. I would be quite comfortable with it myself, but of course not everyone would. I think of Dumbledore as invariably kind. I'm not sure about purity...I have a hard time using that term for anyone beyond childhood, but I think Albus does his best his whole life to live up to his responsibility that comes with his power. Often at personal cost, I would think. I'm glad you like the writing, thanks for reviewing!
