arcanetrivia: a light purple swirl on a darker purple background (general (hogwarts))
for [livejournal.com profile] lunylucy from this prompt, 4 Every Flavor Beans flavors that Dumbledore hates and 1 that he loves.

1. Lemon custard. Ariana always was very fond of the stuff.

2. Mown grass. Not only is he not a cow, but it is sometimes a bit difficult to convince people of the truth of one's vast stores of mysterious wisdom while sporting lips and a tongue that look like a ripe lime. A reputation for eccentric brilliance only goes so far.

3. Candied violet. Gellert had once presented him with a small box of the real sort, smartly done up in silver paper and tied with a thin purple ribbon. He'd mentioned idly with a subtle wink that a curious piece of Muggle folklore considered it an infallible love charm.

4. Salt and vinegar. "Hate" might be a strong word, though; more like "irritation". He can never manage to find the fish-and-chip-flavoured ones to go with.

5. Christmas pudding. He especially likes to top a real Christmas pudding with some of these and then smother it in brandy before setting the whole thing on brilliant pink fire. A thing worth doing is worth overdoing, after all, especially at Christmas.

Ahhh... I actually got a wee bit teary eyed over the candied violets. Poor Albus...
