Dumbledore wanders through the grass under the sunny sky. The grasses are as tall as Dumbledore is here. A cloud hovering over Dumbledore looks a bit like a hand.
PRESENT DUMBLEDORE: As I moved on, I quickly became lost in the tall grasses.
PAST DUMBLEDORE: Point me. { The incantation of a spell that makes the caster's wand point North. }
PRESENT DUMBLEDORE: With a little surreptitious magic, I soon found Tom playing some Muggle version of Quidditch.

PRESENT GRANGER: Basketball.
PRESENT DUMBLEDORE: Hmm?
PRESENT GRANGER: He was playing basketball. I am a Muggle-born, you know.
PRESENT DUMBLEDORE: I took Tom aside. He was very curious, a quality I value in a student.

TOM: Who are you? How did you get here so quickly?
