Removed confusing clause. In the fic, we have

Dumbledore’s mother had died mysteriously, shortly before his younger sister died in what the Aurors had ruled to be murder.

This is a change from canon. Presumably it points to a secret about Dumbledore.

Here's a real change from canon:

His eyes were as cold as anything Minerva had seen from him since the day his brother died.

chapter 18

No clue what it implies, though.

Implies Aberforth Dumbledore was killed by the Death Eaters.

If Albus Dumbledore killed Narcissa himself, this was probably the trigger.

Ah, no it's not?

Yes it is.

I don't see anything in the link that contradicts that. Unless you're just saying that it isn't made explicit that the Aurors ruled it to be murder?

I think we're talking about different things. The original post made it look like he was calling Aberforth's death a change from canon, whereas I guess he was talking about Kendra.
