[ is puttering about in the workshop portion of his room, putting the finishing touches on the Veritaserum and Felix Felicis that he's finally finallllly finished. the latter was extremely tricky, but he's sure he's got it. he's bottling them now. as he does, he spots a replica of a golden Snitch on the table; back fro when he was making Akito's Christmas present last year. the sight of it makes him pause, and smile briefly, if a bit sadly ]

[ rubs at his eyes a bit, and reaches down to pat Dro's massive head. fawkes the ugly baby turkey is wobbling about on his stand ]
You've been up in this room for far too long, Albus. Don't return to your old ways now. Don't.
