She didn't bother to stop the tears, "I don't know if anyone will ever really understand how horrible Dumbledore was. He made an insecure little girl from the muggle world even more of an outcast. He twisted everything thing in my personality. All I wanted to do was study. I had a compulsion to dislike jewelry and fashion. He made me believe I was ugly. That my only worth was my brain, and even then only if I was helping Harry." She felt the tears falling onto their joined hands. Marcus's arms tightened around her.
