Omg it would be so on brand but so funny if Dumbledore poisoned Alphard because he thought Tom was going to kill Alphard for his money and so Dumbledore was "saving" everyone by getting there first. Alphard: I can't believe you poisoned me. Dumbledore: I had no choice. Lord Voldemort only ever had one interest in your - your gold - and as soon as he had that, as he was clearly about to, he would have- Alphard: Tom wanted to take money from me? Dumbldore: I am sorry to say that he did. And- Alphard: FINALLY!!! Do you know how many years I've been trying to get him to do that?! What makes you so sure by the way? What did he say? Dumbledore: He didn't need to say anything. It was obvious. What other motivation could he possibly- Alphard: ... Oh. :( I forgot who I was talking to.
