Stripetail enterd the flagon and made his way among the gatherd throngs of witches and wizards ' excuse me, madam?' he asked a waitress witch who was passing by with a tray of food " I'm looking for Profesor dumbledore . " Oh, the headmaster? he;s i n the back, near the holiday decorations. Table 63.' the waitress said as she adjusted her tray. " thank you madam.'" Stripetail said handing her some Galleons before heading to the back of the pub. soon, he came upon a table with a older looking wizard wearing half moon glases, exactly matching a picture Nick Wilde had sent in with his intel report. ' Excuse me/ Professor Dumbledore, I presume?' Stripetail asked and the wizard lookded up from a cup of hot tea. " Yes, I am he. and you are, sir?' Lord Stripetail. Professor of magical studies at Sowarkard Academy. I'm in charge of a group of exchange students.' oh, yes, i received notes from the headmasters of the schools quite recently. Do sit down." dumbledore motioned for stripetail to sit. ' " I must admit that normally we require at least 3 months notice for this sort of program, but the letters mentioned that you had originally planned to visit another school and were looking for a last minute substitute?' Yes, unfortunately that fell through. please forgive the lateness of our request. Crestwood is very new at magical teaching and is hoping to learn from your example. and in candor professor, the Minister and his authorities have been- how do i put this delicately?.. ' Unwelcoming? Dumbledore sighed. he's making the Pinkstone situation worse, by making her a martyr. I've been trying to reason with Cornelius to no effect. but enough about my problems. Tell me about your group, my Lord. Well, its a combination of dragons, magical creatures digimon and assorted staff and chaperones. we have a few that serve as teachers for ...whats the term for nonmagics here>' Muggles' Dumbledore made a face. ' so muggle studies? ' Where I've from, Dumbledore, theres no hostility to non magics. Clearly, thats not the case here. I've already been threatened with a charming stay in Azkaban if i perform any more magic publicly. ' ' you reversed a Obliviation" dumbledore said and Stripetail's eyes widened then narrowed. . ' before you ask how I know that, my Lord, lets just say I have my sources. you are obviously a VERY powerful wizard, Obliviations are almost always permanent.' well, I was trying to help my staff during a.. misunderstanding. ' Then it is clear to me why you chose Hogwarts. you want a safe haven during these troubled times, for you , your staff and students. In addition to improving their magical educations and honing their abilities. of course. ' Succinctly put, headmaster . In candor, I am trying to catch an old enemy, who has recently landed on this planet. His name is Chong. " Stripetail said as Dumbledore drank his tea. " just what we need, more trouble.' the headmaster sighed. ' I'll have my sources look out for him. any word, I'll pass it on. " Thank you professor. I'm meeting with the minister tomorrow evening for tea. I hope to smooth things out with him.' A word of advice, my lord. call it a friendly caution. Cornelius may seem jovial on the outside, but he is fanatically dedicated to a vision of a magical world where witches and wizards are kept completely apart from Muggles. Its a delusion, magickind is far better off accepting of differences, and being inclusive, not exclusive. He will try to get you on his side. he respects great wizards, but he also fears them. for instance, he thinks I'm trying to get his job." Why would the headmaster of one of this world;s most prestigious schools, want the headaches of a politicians job?' Stripetail chuckled as Dumbledore laughed. ' Indeed! i have no interest in being Minister. Yet Fudge is laboring under some delusion that i want the ministry and has been trying every trick in the book to isolate me. ' Dumbledore held up a magical paper ' Showing images of some of Stripetails group standing outside the gates of Hogwarts " Magical creatures escape from Hogwarts! Has Dumbledore Lost it?' Shouted a headline." i wouldn't use that paper to start a fire' Stripetail snorted. " yet there are those who read this paper and others like it , who believe it. ' you should see some of the letters by Owl i've gotten from parents.' Dumbledore said. " the universe does not lack for gullible fools unfortunately. for now though i will need accommodations for myself, my staff and my students at Hogwarts. ' yes, I've prepared staff rooms for all your staff, they are all in the main part of the castle ' Yours is on the 3rd floor. ' it actually was the classroom for Headmaster Mordicus Egg, well before he became Headmaster. His portrait is the wall. if you have any questions, feel free to ask him. As for the students they will be sorted into one of Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Gryfinndor . Professor Snape suggested that we exclude Slytherin, for the safety of both your students and ours. the last thing we need is fights between students. and Slytherin Houses tends to have.. strong, negative opinions on outsiders.' Thank you professor ,' Stripetail said. " Dumdledore nodded then looked at the clock. ' well, look at the time., I need to head to the castle to prepare my welcome message for the students tonight. You wil be introduced to the students and staff , as will your staff. i will ask the students to be respectful at all times. Hospitality and courtesy are important. " Dumbledore got up from his seat and nodded to Stripetail ' Welcome to Hogwarts, my lord.' He nodded before vanishing in a flash. triptail got up from his his seat and heasded out of the bar.

She is at peace, in the Internal meadow of paradise that I create for all who serve me, well among this religious faction at any rate. the tower paradise is quite different. . its an eternal endless library.
