Liked the honesty of the goblins, "What's in it for us". Can see Dumbles going very dark, specially if he is going to work with Narcissa. Hope Harry, Hogwarts & the Hat keep him under control, hopefully with much pain. Cheers.

Heya Z!
Yeah, I really wish I could have come up with something better than I did to sweeten the deal for the gobs, but every idea I tried, came across the same block. Even with Amelia in the drivers seat, the WW is still in the hands of the Purebloods. It’s gonna take some time before anything real comes about. Still, they managed to hammer out something.
Dumbledore is my definition of evil. Like politicians, he completely ignores that he is supposed to represent the people and not just a select few. In this case, he’s grasping to keep his power.
Narcissa: It’s interesting to note that until Book Sux: Episode 1, Narcissa was a blank canvas. Many fanauthors had her as an unwilling accomplice, or even under some sort of compulsion/curse, enforced by her marriage to Lucy. Then that book came out and Rowling’s ghostwriter had to keep with her whole ‘All Slytherins are evil’ theme, and so made the flower out to be as bigoted as Lucy and Lucy-junior.
Le Sigh!
Never fear, with the curse he’s contracted and with Snape’s impending removal from the castle, Dumbo’s gonna be in considerable pain.
Ta.
