mind you, I am not advocating psycho!Sirius nor calling him borderline sociopathic. Just to be clear. XD
And wow, now I want a Grindelwald-in-Drumstrang ficlet. Was he like Tom Riddle, all impeccable manners and spotless Head Boy reputation (I doubt it), was he the brilliant, arrogant and-not-quite sane social outcast? a joker? Insanely popular on account of his charisma? Or did his arrogance separate him from the rest? Had he ever had a real friend before Dumbledore? And of course, the big question: just what happened to get him expelled? I can't help thinking he might have killed a student during a duel with a spell so nasty everybody at school freaked, or causing a lot of harm to a younger student during one of his "experiments" and, of course, feeling perfectly entitled to pursue these experiements, being the brightest mind at school and all that. Nasty piece of work, that boy.
