(DUMBLEDORE) For the legend said that the man who had united all three objects would then be truly master of death, which we took to mean 'invincible.'

Harry dropped his eyes to the caption. Albus Dumbledore, shortly after his mother's death, with his friend Gellert Grindelwald.

From their bloody palms rise two glowing drops of blood, which mingle and merge to create one. A metal shape begins to form around the droplet, becoming more defined and intricate.

Almost as ONE, spells fly toward Grindelwald, when, with one final glance at Dumbledore . . . he falls backward and Apparates.

(GELLERT) That's not why you went along. It was you who said we could reshape the world. That it was our birthright.

(ABERFORTH) Didn’t I understand, my poor sister wouldn’t have to be hidden once they’d changed the world, and led the wizards out of hiding, and taught the Muggles their place?

(HARRY) He thought he was back there with you and Grindelwald, I know he did. He thought he was watching Grindelwald hurting you and Ariana. . . . It was torture to him, if you’d seen him then, you wouldn’t say he was free.

(DUMBLEDORE) It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

(DUMBLEDORE) And at the heart of our schemes, the Deathly Hallows! How they fascinated him, how they fascinated both of us!

TRAVERS casts a spell to show moving pictures of TEENAGE DUMBLEDORE and TEENAGE GRINDELWALD. The AURORS are shocked. The TEENAGE DUMBLEDORE and TEENAGE GRINDELWALD stare intently into each other’s eyes.

(VINDA) And you're sure that he can kill Dumbledore? (GRINDELWALD) His pain is his power.

(TRAVERS) But, you are the only wizard who is his equal. I need you to fight him. (DUMBLEDORE) I can't.

This was your mistake at Durmstrang. But I do not complain because if you had not been expelled, we would never have met. Albus.

(GELLERT) Would this be one of your regular haunts? (ALBUS) I don't have any regular haunts.

(DUMBLEDORE) Gellert and I had made plans to go away together. My brother didn't approve. One night, he confronted us. Voices were raised. Threats made. Aberforth drew his wand, which was foolish. I drew my wand, which was even more foolish.

(BATHILDA BAGSHOT) It was poor little Ariana dying, I think, that did it, it came as an awful shock. Gellert was there in the house when it happened, and he came back to my house all of a dither, told me he wanted to go home the next day.

(RITA SKEETER) What caused this abrupt rupture? Had Dumbledore come to his senses? Had he told Grindelwald he wanted no more part in his plans? Alas, no.

(TRAVERS) You and Grindelwald were as close as brothers. (DUMBLEDORE) We were closer than brothers.

(HARRY) He thought he was back there with you and Grindelwald, I know he did. He thought he was watching Grindelwald hurting you and Ariana. . . . It was torture to him, if you’d seen him then, you wouldn’t say he was free.

As Grindelwald's power grew, he began to make plans for the confrontation he knew would happen one day. A confrontation with his old friend and the only wizard believed to be powerful enough to defeat him. Albus Dumbledore.
