Yandere Headcanons ⚡️h.p edition⚡️

Yandere Albus Dumbledore (platonic)

-Albus is someone no one would ever imagine being obsessed with someone. It's just something no one could fathom and that's what works in his favor. He's a very behind the scenes type of yandere. No one would suspect a thing, let alone his obsession.

-He would definitely be drawn to anyone who reminded him of his dear sister, Ariana. Whether it be appearance or personality, Albus feels an intense protection towards his obsession. It's the overwhelming guilt of what happened to his sister, him blaming himself that really pushes his obsession. He's probably too far into his memories of Ariana, both before and after her death, to realize just how much he's loosing himself. It's much too late when he realizes the unhealthiness of the situation. He's already as invested as he is, he may as well see it to the end. Albus isn't going to fail you, not like he did Ariana.

-Albus is always very well aware of what's going on in regards to you, both inside and outside of Hogwarts. He's always watching over you, no matter where you are. It's unnerving but weirdly comforting. If it were anyone else it would be creepy but Albus only has the best intentions in mind. He only means to keep you safe.

-Given his connections and loyal supporters there will always be someone to watch over and care for you when he's gone. Harry being one of these people. There's no doubt Albus would entrust Harry with you. Minerva being another one high on the list of people he would entrust your protection to. No matter what, Albus would always ensure your safety and future would always be taken care of.

-Albus isn't necessarily delusional. He is very conscious of how unhealthy his attachment is. He knows none of what he's doing would be considered right but he can't help himself. He sees this as him doing what he should have as a brother, what he should have been doing for Ariana. He sees his obsession as a second chance. And he can't pass that up.

-The way Albus goes about things is very discreet. He handles people and situations very quietly and inconspicuously. No one ever really knows that they've just basically been threatened by Albus. Whether it's an adult or a student, Albus is always very calm and collected, never truly letting his emotions get the best of him. Even when it comes to you he doesn't let anything show. Now that doesn't mean anything concerning you doesn't get him worked up or upset, it does but he can't allow himself to react the same way he feels. Otherwise it would be messy.

-Really Albus can be quite terrifying in what he's capable of. He's powerful, wise, and he's extremely respected. Not to mention you can never truly tell what's going on in his head. He has a vast knowledge of an array of things, always having an answer for whatever. He speaks in riddles giving others the pieces they need, they just have to figure it out themselves. He does this with his threats too. Well, they're not really threats per se but they still carry the same weight. He doesn't have to get his hands dirty to still get the same result as other yanderes and that's unsettling enough.

-He wouldn't be very affectionate, it would be much too obvious and maybe even a little weird. But that doesn't mean he wouldn't still be comforting and attentive towards his obsession. He cares about you and when you're upset he'll do what he can to help and fix whatever it is affecting you.

-Albus often will send you little gifts, usually something sweet or something that he knows will make you feel better. If you're struggling with your studies he will either find someone to tutor you, whether it be the professor themself or another student (probably Hermione, let's be honest). Or he'll gift you with other books on the subject to aid you in your classes. It goes without saying but Albus is completely anonymous in everything he does for you, especially the gifts. He doesn't want you to have any inkling about anything he does for you.

-Once Albus knows that his time is coming to an end, he will write to you. He'll confess all of the things he's done for you, everything he's tried to do to ensure you a good life and future. Albus wants to give you some closure but really he's giving himself closure, if that makes sense. You probably won't even get these letters from him and there are a lot. He either hides these letters away or he gives them to someone he trusts to give to you when you're old enough and farther along in your life.
