Notice he has a rather dark side, or ignore it. Consequence of choosing "easy": dead sister, guilt that lasts the rest of your very long life.

Alla:

Okay, this is certainly not my definition of easy you are working with. I always thought that right v easy refers to what will be **morally** right v **morally** easy. I do not see how having fun with your friend and implementing the plans of world domination over those silly muggles is not easy in comparison to sacrificing your life to care about your sister. I remember Albus whining about taking care about Ariana, I do not remember him thinking how very hard it will be to go travel with Gellert, even if it included intellectual challenges. 

When I read your previous post to me about Ron, I thought I understood that your definition of easy is just very narrow (to me), but at least I understood that right v easiER is not working for you and working perfectly well for me.

But now I am even more confused. I just do not see how Albus' desire to go around the Globe with Gellert is hard for him LOL.
