How could someone as wise as Albus Dumbledore resort to these underhanded means? Using his own students like pawns in a game of chess, placing them in harms way without a second thought? With all of Dumbledore’s intellect and foresight, how could he not see Grindelwald for what he was? How could he do something as irresponsible as entering into a blood pact with someone so deluded? Grindelwald was already known to have an inclination towards violence, towards bigotry against muggles, so how could Dumbledore allow himself to get close to a person like that? Moreover, why did he agree with Grindelwald’s delusions? It was, after all, none other than Dumbledore himself that came up with Grindelwald’s forever famous slogan of for the greater good. If that was his mind-set then, who is to say it’s not his mind-set now?
