AN: Last round! Round 5 was great! Writing Dumbledore's 'interview' was fun! No idea how it came out...but I think it's done decently.

Do let me know your thoughts on this!

Also, how would YOU have replied? Which characters would you have chosen? Which FANDOM would you have chosen?

Leave me a review!


Round 5


Character: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore (Headmaster of Hogwarts. Supreme Mugwump. Grand sorcerer. Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. Brilliant. Genius. Crazy.)


Miss Sarah L.'s last resort is to approach kind and welcoming Albus Dumbledore – Harry Potter's mentor and headmaster – in the hope that her last three questions shall be answered.

Though, perhaps, expecting decent responses from any of the people young Harry has recommended seems like an unwise thought. Nevertheless, Miss Sarah had been a Gryffindor while at Hogwarts, and pushes through her remaining questions courageously.

Sarah: Do you find that you nearly lose contact with your friends when you fall in love with someone new? How do they feel about your new partners?

Albus: Ah...what an interesting question. It reminds of one of my greatest failure in life...and an adventurous journey with an old friend. I once made the mistake of getting too absorbed and deeply involved with our goals and plans, thus neglecting my family. It is a regret that shall never leave me. Gellert was a wonderful and charming young man, but that...friendship ended for the Greater Good. *smiles and offers lemon drop*

Sarah smiles politely and refuses, inwardly thankful that the old wizard has at least answered her question thoughtfully, if cryptically.

S: Have you ever pretended to care for someone more than you really did? If so, why?

A: Life is a stage, young miss! And we are all actors playing a part. Some things do need to be done, whether the end result is positive or not. Only if young Tom had not strayed from the path of good… perhaps my pretence might have turned into truth.

Tom? Perhaps she should question no further if that is who she thinks it is…

S: If your partner completely lost their temper and starting smashing things in your home, what would you do? What if this began happening every six months or so?

A: Oh dear, a physical lash out? Well… Our first and last argument led to a tragic end... Dear Ariana forever paid the consequences of my actions.

The venerable headmaster seems to have become sad and refuses to elaborate. But, with her questions now answered, there is little point in staying for longer. It is best she left now.

With that, Miss Sarah takes her leave, cursing Harry Potter for leading her around on this wild goose chase – she received no useful replies to her questions and it is quite sure that her article shan't be posted.

Ah well, at least the Boss will be satisfied that the "Valentine" theme was completed – even if it was not done by the Boy Who Lived.

Miss Sarah wonders, though, that just whom Harry would have directed a more vapid reporter like Rita Skeeter to?

…Bellatrix Lestrange?

Miss Sarah shudders and thanks her lucky stars, pushing the day's events into the corner of her mind.
