DDD: 19 - Ghosts [Locked to Dumbledore]

[quidditch_stag]

Excuse me, Professor.

[He's not sure how to put this.]

After I die...Why am I not a ghost?

Because you died bravely, facing death. You did not desperately cling to life, as those who turn to ghosts do.

[quidditch_stag]

Do you think that was the right thing to do?

[prof_bumblebee]

I think so. Staying as a ghost is not a selfless decision, it is the act of one who would cling to life above everything else. You died trying to protect your wife and son, instead.

Thank you Professor.

One more question, I hope you don't mind. But if we were to plan to stop my death, how much would that change the future? I don't want to make it worse out of a selfish decision.
