"Ohmigosh, you are Albus Dumbledore, right?!"

"Yes, Ms. Loughty, you have seen me enough when you were a student, have you not?"

The middle-aged woman just chuckled and said, "It's Mrs. Brandishwack now, Professor, and you are right but how many times can you fangirl around the Defeater of Grindelwald. Anyway, why are you here at St. Mungo's, Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries?"

Albus grimaced as Mrs. Brandishwack said Grindelwald though he showed nothing on his face, it was all in his heart. Albus looked around at the ever-changing scene in the place and spotted that there was a portrait of a blonde man now. The man did seem dashing but he looked like he was just out of Hogwarts, though Albus can hardly recognize him.

Albus' attention turned back to the receptionist and said, "Ah, my dear, I have come to meet the Longbottoms and Perseus Potter."

"You mean the baby and that couple who were attacked by Crouch Jr.?"

"Yes, my dear, alas we cannot change that."

"As you say, Professor. Anyway, the baby is on level four, Janus Thickey ward, and the Long bottoms are still being treated, therefore you cannot meet them. Maybe tomorrow?" Mrs. Brandishwack said in a strict and boring voice though it was happy.

Albus, not seeing any other business there, went to Janus Thickey Ward to see Perseus Potter. He had assured Mr. Eugene Longbottom and Augusta Longbottom that he would visit the patients though there was a little chance for their children, Potter would survive, Dumbledore could prove that as he saw the almost-two-year-old.

The baby was wearing a patient's robe and was sitting nervously on his bed, hugging his knees. Dumbledore smiled at the boy and took a piece of communication mirror out of his robes.

Communication mirrors, though expensive and rare, were worth it. They were the easiest way to communicate if the two people were away by a long distance. Though, if anyone could afford it, it was the Longbottoms. Augusta had wanted to talk to young Perseus, but she couldn't come as Harry Potter and her grandson needed care, and anyway, why would she leave if she can defend her house with talking and seeing the boy's face.

Perseus had a scar running down his eye which looked odd for a two-year-old, his sea-green eyes showed nervousness and that he was wary about other people, his robes were loose on him and his jet black hair, messy as ever.

Albus walked towards Perseus and introduced himself, "Hello, Perseus, I am here to meet you."

"Who awe you? An' it Pewcy, no Pewseus." Albus smiled as he noticed the lisp in 'Pewcy's' voice. Though, Albus could tell that Percy was scared of him. Albus told him in a calming voice, "Percy, there is no problem, you would meet your brother in a couple of days. Now, don't be so nervous around me, I have met you many times."

Percy looked confused at that but relieved that someone who knew him had come here, but there was everyone like that. Everyone knew him and wanted to shake his hand, whatever that meant. But no, Percy stayed away from those strange people. He does not want to do anything with them.

Percy said, "If you no me, my fawowite colow is?"

Albus chuckled at the boy and said, "Don't worry my boy, I know it's blue." Percy's face lightened up as Albus continued, "You know your mum's favorite was the same color. One time James dared her to make blue food, you know, and she made it quite happily."

"You, me, no? Good."

"Yes, Percy, all is good now, all is good."
