I am looking for an available space to host a series of instructional classes. The main focus would concentrate on practical spell work as well as discussions on the nature of magic during specific moments in history. I am also available for private tutoring. Feel free to inquire within for any necessary credentials.

Dumbledore?

As in Professor Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts?

[dumbles]

Professor Dumbledore, yes. Headmaster... no. I am, or was, the Transfiguration professor.

Fawkes. That is an interesting name you have chosen.

[escare]

Oh, sorry Professor. My mistake.

[ This might be Dumbledore, but it certainly isn't his Dumbledore.

What is this crazy messed up world?

His one sliver of hope, dashed.

Harry feels a sinking feeling in his stomach that doesn't fade even while he thinks of something else to say. ]

I liked the sound of it.

[dumbles]

It's a very good name. I have a very good friend who would think so, as well.

And no apologies necessary. I understand that sometime in this time and beyond I am the Headmaster of Hogwarts. I must confess I am looking forward to that day. I only hope I do the position justice.

So, you must know me from my future.

[Don't be too sad, Harry. He might not be your Dumbledore, but he still has a few tricks up his sleeve that could come in handy.]

[escare]

[ pls help them, Professor. You're their only hope. ]

I might know your friend.

[ They really went through some Things together, way back in Harry's second year. ]

And yes, that's right. Back in my time, you're Headmaster and one of the most brilliant wizards.

[dumbles]

Do you? He can be rather selective in his choice of company. If you're acquainted that speaks volumes of your character.

[Harry can't see it but Dumbledore chuckles at being called a brilliant wizard. His talent and knowledge have always been mistaken for brilliance. He believed it as well, for a time. But brilliance can be found in people's actions, not in talent alone.]

Glad to hear I haven't become a dottering old fool in my advanced age. Of course, that all depends on your definition of 'dottering.'

[escare]

Your definition of 'dottering''s probably the same as mine.

And trust me Professor, you're not dottering at all.
