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.

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.

I have lived a long life and seen two wars. I cannot say all of my actions give me pride.

Then you would be in good enough company. I have lived a long life too, and seen only one war with all my years, but in war, I think, we rarely come away proud of all our actions.

I was in a position of leadership for both wars. Regret is to be expected, though I admit I would not undo my actions.

No... nor I. I came to early to leadership in my war, but I did my best. That is all I can ask of myself, and when I return... well, the play has been made and now for the final move.
