Delighted to find that a number of volunteers from the student body was willing to take time off their busy schedules to help out, he immediately put them to work, tasking them with among other things the carving of jack-o'-lanterns from pumpkins from Hagrid's pumpkin patch and crafting hats for a troupe of skeletons that he revealed he would be bewitching to dance at the feast, going as far as saying he believed it was going to be "a treat" for both himself as well as the students, seeing as he had never made skeletons dance before.

When the pupil arrived, however, it quickly occurred to him that whilst it looked like they expected a lecture, there was nevertheless something they wanted to ask him; and hence, he decided to allow them to do so.

While this was partially due to the Blood Pact, which also kept Britain safe as Grindelwald couldn't attempt an attack as it would mean a duel with Albus, which would violate the Pact, Dumbledore showed he still had lingering affection for Grindelwald, as when he looked at the Mirror of Erised at this time in his life, he saw Grindelwald.

He presented Arabella Figg for Harry's defence and offered to call Dobby to testify that Harry had not used a Hover Charm in 1992, and reminded Fudge that he himself had pardoned Harry's accidental inflation of Marjorie Dursley.
