He’s is manipulative but not in a bad way. But he is most definitely a super badass wizard. I love Dumbledore.

lame ending for a story, but it was fun and direct

Really loved this one shot. Active!Dumbledore is one of my favorite concepts on Fanfiction. A rare treat. Too bad he's just too manipulative.
I read that quote in GoF too. I was surprised that he couldn't guess where he was hiding. He is quite intelligent, after all.

That was very interesting.

I liked it. This is what Dumbledore should have done and taken matters into his own hands while Voldemort was still weak. But I guess that would have been anticlimactic and ended the story quickly. The books are about Harry Potter not Dumbledore.
As for the layout, maybe the different sections could use a line break. I know ff removed them but it could help. And if you centred the newspaper headlines that would be nice too. Other than that, I saw no SPaG errors and it was good fix.

always wondered what might have happened if dumbles checked hangleton. this is probably what would happen
