Enough Responsibility

Description

“I feel I owe you another explanation, Harry,” said Dumbledore hesitantly. “You may, perhaps, have wondered why I never chose you as a prefect? I must confess… that I rather thought… you had enough responsibility to be going on with.”

Harry looked up at him and saw a tear trickling down Dumbledore’s face into his long silver beard.


-page 844, Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix


this countdown... is so emotionally draining. i re-read chapter thirty-seven, The Lost Prophecy, from the fifth book to make sure i would get this scene right and mannnn, WHAT an amazing chapter... so. so. so. so heart wrenching.

I've been semi-randomly clicking around "More from DeviantArt," and the coloring on this really caught my eye. Beautiful use of contrast between the light and dark areas. The sunset colors through the windows are gorgeous.

ETA: Sunrise? Well, either way. {= )
