interesting story. Although i wounder if Voldemort would have won if Albus didn't have the Elder-wand acting as a amplifier? Also without Horcruxes I would think Tom would look into other methods to not be dead or make his own method.

Hello there :)
I don't read about Grindelwald or Dumbledore very often, but this story is absolutely lovely. The flow of your prose
was smooth, well edited and you showed me a deep understanding of all the main characters: Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Tom. The contrasts you made against them of being 'three forms of evil' struck me as very true: each of these three
powerful wizards had ambition that drove them to do some form of evil at one point (or several points) in their lives.
[Dumbledore was a man of many qualities...there was a constant game of chess moving inside of his head but instead of chess pieces he saw human beings] I think this speaks very truly of Dumbledore, and touches a bit on his manipulative side...
spag: [Grindewald] should be [Grindelwald]; [lord Voldemort] should be capitalized [Lord Voldemort]
[There was a layer of insanity amongst the anger] Yes, Tom/Voldemort had a slight streak of madness in him.
[You really have no clue..You oblivious old man. You and I are the same.] I liked this line! I do think Voldemort and Dumbledore shared similar pasts of ambition, although obviously Dumbledore decided to change his ways while Voldemort got progressively darker with his horcruxes and everything
[Three things evil had in common was their belief they were fighting for the greater good, they believed to a certain extent that human sacrifice was needed to win, and their principles were correct. Voldemort had portrayed one form of evil, Grindelwald the second and Dumbledore the third.]
Absolutely excellent and thoughtful story. Keep writing! :)

An interesting take on the idea. I'm not sure he would have asked Dumbledore about horcruxes (the boy was smarter than that) but an interesting take on the idea. Keep writing

Really interesting and believable perspective. "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions", or so the saying goes. Beautiful story!
