Summary
There comes a point at which suffering ceases to be a trial and becomes a companion.
The world may call a man monster, villain, martyr, or fool. It may strip him of honour, purpose, and peace, yet the measure of a life is not found in what it endures, but in what it refuses to become.
For there is a rare and stubborn grace in continuing to choose the light when one has every reason not to.Bookmarked by Inessencedivided

Summary
Wasted potential is far more offensive to a teacher than outright mediocrity, and it is for that reason, chiefly, that she considers him to be one of the great disappointments of her career. If, then, she should keep seeing potential where everyone else has given up, and if they are to be forever discussing what he will make of himself, so be it.
Minerva wonders if he is as aware of the patterns as she is.
Six conversations between Minerva McGonagall and Sirius Black, 1976-1996.

Summary
Severus had always known that he would die in a painful, most horrifying way ever since back when he was almost beaten to death by his father, then mauled by a werewolf, then thrashed around by a maniac overlord. His miserable, luckless life only seemed to lead to that one day when he would be struck down by a bloody snake, of all things.
Bleeding out in front of Harry Potter was just the last humiliation Lady Destiny had in store for him.
Suddenly staring into Potter senior’s eyes again while being levicorpused was just the icing on the cake. -

Summary
Albus Dumbledore had met some strange and fascinating individuals in his long life, but he had never expected to discover that some of them would turn out to be the very same person. This entity appeared in his life over and over again: to help him out of scrapes, to give him strange but useful advice, to bring him on a new adventure. And sometimes, it seemed that he turned up purely for the purpose of making a nuisance of himself. Years passed before Albus finally learned his true name—a name that, like most magical children, he had heard many times before.
What happened afterwards, though, was not anything that Albus would ever have imagined.
(Companion to "A Brief Re-emergence from the Shadows," but can be read independently.)
