I quite enjoyed visiting Tokyo. I cannot say that I traveled so far during my lifetime. I do regret not making the journey.

[Albus sounds as calm as always. It will take more than a world shift to worry him.]

Aside from the peculiarities associated with entering another world, I have been wondering if the castle possesses other oddities? Magical creatures can be a great delight to those who know how to handle them. I myself once befriended a Phoenix. I do not think I could ever replace him, but he would not deny me potential companionship.

[There is sadness in his voice when he speaks of Fawkes. Regardless of being given a chance to say farewell to the bird, Albus misses him - and he expects he always will.]

As it should be, truly. How is Crookshanks faring?

[courageous_wit]

He's doing all right. He's always been very independant.

[aphoenixsong]

Then this castle must be entertaining to him.

[courageous_wit]

Oh, yes. He loves it.

[aphoenixsong]

Have you encountered any other Magical creatures, Miss Granger?

[courageous_wit]

I've seen many creatures in my two years, but not all of them are magical in the way we're familiar. I'd like to introduce you to my Pokemon, though. He's quite clever.

[aphoenixsong]

Pokemon? What sort of creatures are they?

[courageous_wit]

They're sort of like monsters bred for fighting. Mine looks like an otter, which is the same animal as my Patronus.

[aphoenixsong]

Fighting? That doesn't seem humane. [At all.] I did not know that. Quite fitting, Miss Granger.

[courageous_wit]

I didn't like the idea, either, but some of the Pokemon actually seem to like it. It's how they're able to grow.

[aphoenixsong]

That does seem rather contrary. I do not think I could watch them fight without interfering.

[courageous_wit]

Luckily my Oshawott evolved into a Dewott without us going into many battles. He only stepped in to defend me against wild Pokemon.
