"Hello, I'm glad I found you — I'm afraid we've got a situation on our hands. The Calamity has become more active, It seems to centre around Dumbledore... and maybe Voldemort.
Now, most of the new Foundables can be tied directly to Dumbledore, but... depending on how you look at them, they're connected to Voldemort, too. We need to be vigilant."
Fawkes was a highly faithful pet to his owner, Albus Dumbledore, providing aid to the headmaster and those loyal to him when they were in danger. One need look no further than Dumbledore's Patronus - a phoenix - to know the depth of their bond.
"Fawkes was a loyal companion to Dumbledore, everybody knows that. It's less commonly known that one of his feathers was used to make my wand... and also Voldemort's. "
Highly intelligent and well trained, Post Owls are entrusted with delivering wizarding correspondences, sometimes flying long distances to track down their parcel's recipient.
"You recover an owl, and I'm here wondering if there's a deeper meaning. It's just an owl... right?"
Although she was widely suspected to be a fraud by her Divination students, Professor Trelawney made at least two true prophesies: one concerning the birth of a boy who would have the power to defeat Lord Voldemort, and one about the Dark Lord's rebirth.
"Here's what we know so far the Calamity is producing Foundables related to Dumbledore. Or Voldemort. OR both of them. I don't quite know what to make of that."
"Hello again. We're seeing another surge in Calamity activity, and once again, we're finding Foundables that have ties to both Dumbledore and Voldemort. We need to figure out who the Calamity is actually focused on.
If the Calamity is manifesting things related to Voldemort, then we may not have a Threat level high enough to define what we're up against."
In his search for information about Voldemort's past and endeavors, Albus Dumbledore collected memories from witches and wizards who crossed the Dark Lord's path, and used the Pensieve to view them.
"This was Dumbledore's personal Pensieve. While I used it with him to experience memories of Tom Riddle's past, I think its safe to say that this Foundable is far more connected to Dumbledore than Voldemort."
In his quest to defeat Voldemort, Albus Dumbledore sifted through the memories of witches and wizards who knew the Dark Lord before his rise to power - including his own memories of meeting young Tom Riddle in a Muggle orphanage.
"Dumbledore once showed me his memory of meeting a young Tom Riddle, and he was wearing a purple suit. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but this Foundable feels more Dumbledore” than ”Voldemort” to me."
Albus Dumbledore used these glass vials to store extracted memories, which he could review at his leisure in the Pensieve. This process enabled him to make connections that he might otherwise have missed.
"These vials definitely belonged to Dumbledore. He stored memories related to Tom Riddle in them, but they were memories from the time before he became Voldemort, and were used to fight him."
Sherbet Lemons are hard, lemon-flavored sweets sold in Muggle shops. Albus Dumbledore, who was rather fond of them, kept a few in the pockets of his robes to enjoy himself or offer to his companions.
"That statue guards the entrance to the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts. I always found it a bit intimidating, but we never been happier to see it. This Foundable is one hundred percent Dumbledore-related."
A truly gifted and inventing wizard, Albus Dumbledore created the Deluminator, a device that allows its user to absorb and store light, then release it at will. He used the Deluminator to darken the street lamps of Privet Drive the night that he delivered the infant Harry Potter to his aunt and uncle.
"You know, when you put it all together, this surge in Calamity activity was tied to Dumbledore, and his fight against darkness. We won that fight, and we'll overcome this. Calamity, too.
The lesson I'm learning is to try to focus on what we're actually seeing from the Calamity, and not what we fear it could become."
