dumbledore, [altered]
[Conversation between Dumbledore and a second party, presumably DMLE staff, Hogwarts Headmaster’s Office, July 1991; retrieved from 2020 PENSIEVE PAPERS leak. Memory was significantly altered; identity of second party visually and sonically obscured.]
Location: Hogwarts Headmaster’s Office. Present parties: A. Dumbledore, [ALTERED], phoenix (‘Fawkes’).
[PARTY 2]: Your man in Albania – they’re shifting the operation back domestic.
DUMBLEDORE: Back to England?
[PARTY 2]: To Scotland, more specifically.
DUMBLEDORE: Ah.
[PARTY 2]: It’s entrapment, as it’s always been. You know that. Bones wants a bigger arrest. Get it on home soil, you see.
DUMBLEDORE: And Scrimgeour’s approved it?
[PARTY 2]: Yes. Thought you ought to know.
DUMBLEDORE:To be clear – I find clarity in these situations to be of immense value, [ALTERED] – by Scotland, you mean –
[PARTY 2]: Hogwarts. Yes. Thought you might like to know. School year and all.
DUMBLEDORE: Thank you, [ALTERED]. Whether in heaven or on earth, your kindness will find its reward.
[PARTY 2]: Let it be on earth for the both of us, I hope.
