Hello again. I've been giving a bit of advice out to people who need help with dealing with lost ones. I've never used it myself, actually, but it doesn't seem like a bad idea. When we got here, me and my friends, we were astonished we couldn't speak to anyone from back home. Back home, you just send an owl, you see, and you can usually find anyone you're looking for. Well, here, that isn't really possible, especially if someone's gone.

[Harry pauses to carefully consider his words. He doesn't want to sound like someone who's experienced a lot of loss, which makes this harder. His parents, Sirius, they'll wonder why he's so used to this, so he decides to leave that part out. If anyone wishes to know, he'll tell them somewhere else—or just hope that his parents aren't so involved that they'll listen to every conversation he has. They haven't given him that impression, anyway.]

My point is—I've recommended that people write letters. They might find their way to where they belong sooner or later. Luna liked the idea, and I've been considering taking it up myself. And that's just to tell people from home things.

So ... yeah. It might help. But sorry for all your losses.

[Harry feels like that's enough.]

There is one more thing. I contacted a number of people about training. Merlin, Lancer ... others. But then the battle happened and my parents showed up, and, er, most of the meetings were meant to take place during that battle, which obviously, they just couldn't. Since the bracelets have still been acting up, I've been holding off on contacting anyone again, but if you received a message from me, I'm still very much interested. I'd make it easier and contact you directly, but I'm not counting on the messages making it to you just yet.

Right, that's all.

Are there giant wizards, then? I know some giants can do magic but I didn't know they could be a wizard.

If they're half-wizard, they can be.

So are they?

Some. Hagrid was one.

Whoever is Hagrid?

He was the groundskeeper at Hogwarts. He also taught Care of Magical Creatures.

Oh! Care of Magical Creatures? That sounds splendid!

It was. He, er, he had some difficulty with it, but he did his best.

Hmm? Why would he have difficulty? A professor should be the best in his profession, right?

Well, he never finished school, and he had a rougher approach to things.

.... He's teaching a class and he never finished schooling?

It wasn't exactly his fault. He was an expert just the same. Professor Dumbledore believed in him.

And who is Professor Dumbledore?

He was the Headmaster of Hogwarts. He died, though.

[His voice sounds hesitant and somber when he speaks.]

Oh... Ah... I'm very sorry, Mr. Harry. But... maybe he might come here? Some who have passed are here after all. [She pulls at he fingers. It seems she's gone and unintentionally put her foot in her mouth.]

Anything is possible, after all.

It is possible, but he's also the type of person who was not too sad about death. It is life's never great adventure, after all.

Oh... I... I'm a bit scared about such things. [How did more than one conversation they always had end up on this subject? Even the first time they met?]

Yes, I think you may have said something like that before, right? It's all right still.

It still stands, but ah, perhaps we should discuss something nicer, if that's alright?

Yes, er, I think you would like Professor Dumbledore. He was very eccentric and he had a pet phoenix named Fawkes.

A PHOENIX! [Does she look excited because she is.] A phoenix really!

A real phoenix. He's very nice, and once, he even saved my life.

Oh wouldn't it be amazing if a phoenix came here to Asgard! Oh but... what happened that you needed your life saving?

I ... er, I was attacked by a very poisonous snake.

Oh dear! Mr. Potter I'm so glad the phoenix helped you then!
