Vendetta said:"OK," replies Basil, "but wouldn't he be smiling at you when he sees you then? I mean, since you'll probably be in Slytherin and all."
Vendetta said:"Oh! Is he like the principal? He sure looks like a friendly old bloke."
FoxWander said:"Yeah, that's Albus Dumbledore. I've got a Wizard Trading Card of him. He's almost 150 years old and he turned down becoming Minister of Magic so he could stay Headmaster of Hogwart's. Mum says he's a pretty good Headmaster, though she thinks 'e's a bit soft on the Gryffindors. Used to be one 'iself when 'e was at school."
