punkdraco: HP NOIR AU: The murder of Albus DumbledoreThere are three men in a room and two of them will die.This is not a philosophical debate, not the premise of a logic puzzle; there is no way out of this. One way or another, the three men always end up in the same room, and the consequence is inevitable. All one can do is decide who leaves.One man leaves the room and he is born in it; this is the second part, the part they always forget to tell, but it is important. You can’t get to the punchline without it.The punchline is, of course, that he can never leave. He, the last man standing, makes the room in his soul for the ghosts in the shape of the place he was born in, and he feeds them with his blood until they are hungry no more.But the ghosts are always hungry. See, this story is now filled with contradictions. No one can tell it right.It was never a good story, anyway; quite meaningless, in the grand scheme of things. -- source link
