“But I haven’t got uncommon skill and power,” said Harry, before he could stop himself.

“Yes, you have,” said Dumbledore firmly.  “You have a power that Voldemort has never had.  “You can —”

“I know!” said Harry impatiently.  “I can love!”  It was only with difficulty that he stopped himself adding, “Big deal!”

“Yes, Harry, you can love,” said Dumbledore, who looked as though he knew perfectly well what Harry had just refrained from saying.  “Which, given everything that has happened to you, is a great and remarkable thing.  You are still too young to understand how unusual you are, Harry.”

“So, when the prophecy says that I’ll have ‘power the Dark Lord knows not,’ it just means — love?” asked harry, feeling a little let down.

“Yes — just love,” said Dumbledore.

“Ah, Harry, how often this happens, even between the best of friends!  Each of us believes that what he has to say is much more important than anything the other might have to contribute!”

“He accused me of being ‘Dumbledore’s man through and through.'”

“How very rude of him.”
“I told him I was.”

Dumbledore opened his mouth to speak and then closed it again.  Behind Harry, Fawkes the phoenix let out a low, soft, musical cry.  To Harry’s intense embarassment, he suddenly realized that Dumbledore’s bright blue eyes looked rather watery, and stared hastily at his own knees.  When Dumbledore spoke, however, his voice was quite steady.

“I am very touched, Harry.”

“Well, it is clear to me that he has done a very good job on you,” said Scrimgeour, his eyes cold and hard behind his wire-rimmed glasses.  “Dumbledore’s man through and through, aren’t you, Potter?”
“Yeah, I am,” said Harry.  “Glad we straightened that out.”

And turning his back on the Minister of Magic, he strode back toward the house.

Harry got to his feet. As he walked across the room, his eyes fell upon the little table on which Marvolo Gaunt’s ring had rested last time, but the ring was no longer there.
“Yes, Harry?” said Dumbledore, for Harry had come to a halt.
“The ring’s gone,” said Harry, looking around. “But I thought you might have the mouth organ or something.”
Dumbledore beamed at him, peering over the top of his half-moon spectacles.
“Very astute, Harry, but the mouth organ was only ever a mouth organ.”
And on that enigmatic note he waved to Harry, who understood himself to be dismissed.

“Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right,” said Hermione.  “I heard him telling your mum, Ron.”

“Sounds like the sort of mental thing Dumbledore would say,” said Ron.

“Very well, then,” said Dumbledore, pushing open the broom shed door and stepping out into the yard.  “I see a light in the kitchen.  Let us not deprive Molly any longer of the chance to deplore how thin you are.”

“I don’t mean to be rude –” he began, in a tone that threatened rudeness in every syllable.

“– yet, sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often,” Dumbledore finished the sentence gravely.  “Best to say nothing at all, my dear man.”

“Judging by your look of stunned disbelief, Harry did not warn you that I was coming,” said Dumbledore pleasantly.  “However, let us assume that you have invited me warmly into your house.”
