Albus, I have been attempting to bite my tongue over this for the longest time, and while I thought I might make it through the bout of honesty without allowing it to spill, I find myself compelled to write this for reasons beyond my understanding.
For someone so exceptionally bright, you can be ridiculously naive at times. While it does bother me, I also don't mind because it provides me with the sort of opportunities that I have to attempt to push you to your full potential. Even if that means that I have to occasionally manipulate your feelings.
