Reply to comment by SomeWeirdoOnTheNet in [WP] Gandalf and Dumbledore switch places. Gandalf is now running Hogwarts, while Dumbledore is leading The Fellowship. by yax51

Dumbledore has not had good luck with magic rings, and he's not nearly so noble as Gandalf. I doubt being anywhere close to that ring would result in anything other than a new teleporting instant death cursing dark lord that rides a broom around at night.

Some rando: "It's the witch!"

Dumbledork: "Don't assume my gender!"

A now groaning rando: "No, he wields the corrupting power of the The One Joke!"

meh, he's pretty anti dark magic though, at least by the end of his life.

I just don't expect he'd be able to resist as well as a hobbit. That ring thing is tempting after all. Look at how shiny it is.

We have to consider whether or not we believe him when he says his vision in the mirror of erised is a warm pair of socks.

He will create the most comfortable socks known to mortals in Middle Earth and from his throne of comfy throw pillows he will cast it all into darkness... except for those who ally themselves with Gryffindor. They get 50 points.

It's important to remember he was Dark in his younger days, #2 to his generation's Voldemort. His sister getting killed by a killing curse he cast was what 'redeemed' him. And even then, he still wanted the Deathly Hollows until he met Harry and he raised Harry to be a magical suicide bomber.

He'd totally fall to the Ring's temptation.
