I have found myself in the most curious sort of predicament. One moment, I was dead and the next, I am standing in the middle of what I can only describe as a room with a remarkable view. To further complicate matters, I have located this device which is all too foreign to me. Thankfully, I am in full possession of my wits - which are substantial - and I was able to turn it on.

[He pauses to let his words sink in before continuing, his tone as light and unassuming as ever:]

My name is Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, though that is rather much to remember. There was a time that I simply responded to Albus, so I think that shall do for the present time.

What I seek are answers and I will patiently await them until either they drift my way or I discover them on my own.

Yes, I've noticed the differences. But I like James in his way, and.... we've been through a lot. [not mentioning Arthur because that's just really hard to explain]

dictated

[aphoenixsong]

He is quite charming if memory serves me correctly. His only failing was in accepting others who vastly differed from himself.

dictated

[courageous_wit]

You'll have to ask him how he's handling all this.

dictated

[aphoenixsong]

I am curious, but I don't wish to pry into his affairs overly much. If he is like Mister Lupin, he is nearly grown.

dictated

[courageous_wit]

Oh, you spoke to Remus already. Then that just leaves Sirius, wherever he is.

dictated

[aphoenixsong]

It doesn't surprise me that they would all be here together.

dictated

[courageous_wit]

But it's just you and me from later in time. [meaning no Ron or Harry]

dictated

[aphoenixsong]

I have a feeling that won't last.

dictated

[courageous_wit]

Hmm. I haven't seen them in two years. [not sure if she wants them trapped here, though]

dictated

[aphoenixsong]

Then you are long overdue for a reunion.

dictated

[courageous_wit]

They've been here before. There's always the chance... [she just doesn't know what to hope for: for them to come or for them to stay at Hogwarts]

I see that you are a kind-hearted person, Miss Granger. Of course, I was already aware of that trait in reference to you, but it is refreshing to see it nonetheless. I do hope it is rewarded instead of condemned.

dictated

[courageous_wit]

We'll see, once the war is won.

dictated

[aphoenixsong]

I have full confidence that you will live through it and see brighter days.
