AmanitaMuscaria now - nor is it in the UK edition. But there is a 
vary interesting line from DD a little before : 
..said Malfoy. 'But she said you were just going for a drink, you'd 
be back ...' 
'Well, I certainly did have a drink ... and I came back ... after a 
fashion,' mumbled Dumbledore

What are we to take from that? DD is very precise, usually, about 
what he says. So is he actually not alive at this point?

AmanitaMuscaria now: Where do we have evidence that the Unbreakable 
Vow kills?

AmanitaMuscaria again - Hey? Where's that? We know Fred and George 
turned Ron's teddy bear into a spider, but where does it say they 
were trying to get Ron to do an Unbreakable Vow?
