What a marvelous place this is! It is my understanding that some of you know me from the future. Or shall I say will know me in the future? In any event, I am much different then as I am now and would like to know all about me in the future. There is nothing too great or small that shall be hidden from me, for the future is what you make of it. I am merely curious as to what I made of it at least in one life.

In return, I would be more than happy to answer any questions anyone may have of my current self. I expect if some of you are young and knew me when I was old (or when I will be old) then you wouldn't have known me in my prime, as I am now. Please, come forth and share your questions with me.

For those I haven't yet met, I'm Jaime.

I had a talk with Hermione about how we need to have a campaign meeting. My impression from what I see in the journal is that this group is moving ahead, greeting those who arrive in a happenstance manner, and go on from there. Perhaps those of us who are better at verbal communication should make most of the explanations. Perhaps we need to sort through some basic concerns as a group.

Since no one else has suggested this, I'll say a two o'clock meeting the day following the party. Attend, even if you don't feel like you want to say anything or contribute actively. This concerns everyone so you should at least listen because all of our futures matter here.

Would you please list your name after this, whether you are a wizard/witch or not, any talents you have which might be helpful here.

Let me start.

Jaime Lannister
Not magical
Served as a knight and military commander where I came from, therefore can ride, wield swords and daggers, used to living rough and hard travel

I think you should all be aware that there is a werewolf in our midst, and his name is Remus Lupin. I consider it my public duty to give this warning. Beware when the moon is full.

Why, what a quaint little place I've found myself in. There's a happy little brook down by the wayside and... oh! How terribly rude of me.

Allow me to introduce myself. Albus Dumbledore. Not to be confused with Aberforth. He's quite the grouchy fellow, I'm afraid. Doesn't even like lemon sherberts. Can you even imagine such a thing? How could anyone in their right mind... well, I shouldn't say such things. I'm sure he has his reasons. Silly as they may be of course.

Speaking of... does anyone know where I can find myself a slice of lemon meringue pie? I've just been craving one for the longest.

Oh, I do hope Abby is looking after Ari. I don't believe I'll be coming back for a while.
