Oh this is awesome!! Of course Albus would never tell the whole truth "publicly" (even in a supposedly private letter). I love how you work the later-revealed canon in while still keeping my original framework (which was written pre-HBP!). Thank you so much!!!!

I'm so glad you liked it! When I read this story, it struck me as a really accurate portrayal of events we didn't find out much about until book seven. I thought I'd play a bit with the new knowledge of Dumbledore's connection to Grindelwald, making that the remix instead of a POV switch. (Alternate remix title: "The Retroactive Continuity Remix".) You're very welcome!

Albus dreamed that night of the face of a friend, frozen still, like a Muggle photograph.

I like that phrase a lot.

Thank you! I was rather proud of it myself.
