Dumbledore'd Office [open to Padma]
Albus was just finishing the letter to the Minister of Magic when the clock struck the hour, and he looked up, dabbing the ink dry. Fawkes gave a low, mournful hoot from his perch. "I am certain she will be here soon enough," he assured the bird, folding the parchment and reaching for his candle to seal the letter.
"Would you take this to Millicent Bagnold, please?" he asked the phoenix, holding up the newly sealed letter. "And wait for a reply." Fawkes swooped down from his perch to land lightly on the desk, and clamped his beak around the parchment before he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Coughing slightly, Albus fanned the smoke away from his face. "I really must say something to him about that," he muttered, smiling and shaking his head.
He had shown the gargoyle outside his office a picture of Miss Patil, knowing it would open for her as soon as she approached. At some point, he would have to explain his password system to her, but this temporary measure would work well enough for today.
