I must have slept for a long time. I'm very hungry.

[Private to Doctor Hix]

Was your plan successful?

[Private to Merlin]

May we talk when you have some time? I know there is much going on... Maybe I can offer some assistance?

[Private to Severus Snape]

I know who you are now.

Why wouldn't you know who I am?

[Private][Voice]

[emptyyourself]

...I don't remember a conversation like that.

What young lady?

[Private][Voice]

[wandthief]

I don't think it wise to reveal her name to you at present.

Do you feel quite well? You sound a little... nervous.

[Private][Voice]

[emptyyourself]

I don't like these events. You all are acting so strangely.

[Private][Voice]

[wandthief]

Me?

Well, I recall the young lady said that you were a 'jerk' and that you were not to be trusted... and that I should avoid speaking with you.

[he laughs]

But I was never very good at following certain kinds of advice.

You don't think that sounds like you, from what she said of you?

[Private][Voice] - Nope. Not a jerk. Just a simpering coward.

[emptyyourself]

One of the wardens did say the...other me is rather brusque.

I don't think I'm a jerk. I-

I try not to be.

[Private][Voice]

[wandthief]

You don't sound like a jerk but then I don't know you very well. You or the other you.

[Private][Voice]

[emptyyourself]

Why would the other me keep his - my -

...

-our name from you?

[Private][Voice]

[wandthief]

I have no idea.

You said we've spoken before? That you've told me about Dumbledore? I don't recall that myself. You know my history, I take it.

[ooc: Feel free to have mirror!Gellert fit into whatever Snape's idea of him is. Real!Gellert hasn't bothered looking at his old entries for any 'changes' himself.]

[emptyyourself]

Well, yes, of course. You were the greatest advocate and champion of Muggle-Wizard integration of the 20th century. That's why Dumbledore had you locked away in that prison.

Of course, it isn't common knowledge. Hogwarts' board of directors have banned texts about you.

You don't...remember any of this?

[OOC: Lulz.]

[Private][Voice]

[wandthief]

That sounds... a little twisted around to me. You make it sound as if he locked me away for getting it right.

Banned texts I can believe.

No, I don't remember it quite that way...

[Private][Voice]

[emptyyourself]

Well, you know, he is a very vocal advocate of racial purity...

Warden Bl- That is, the warden I spoke with seemed surprised that Dumbledore agreed with Lord Voldemort and wanted to join him.

I don't understand. Is your Dumbledore different?

[Private][Voice]

[wandthief]

Dumbledore agree with that fool Voldemort? Impossible.

The Dumbledore I knew had much sympathy for Muggles. He would have been far more lenient in the way he went about teaching them what their true place in this world was.

I cannot believe that you are correct.

[Private][Voice]

[emptyyourself]

I'm correct. He wouldn't have had me killed if I was mistaken.

What sort of man are you, then? Everyone seems so different, but the Grindelwald I know would never be anything other than the champion of muggleborns.

[Private][Voice]

[wandthief]

I haven't know many Muggleborns personally but I don't see anything wrong with them. My goal was to bring all wizardkind out of hiding. You make it sound as if I had gotten further in my ultimate goal than I indeed did...

I had far too much resistance from the wizarding population at large.

[Private][Voice]

[emptyyourself]

Well, you didn't get very far at all. Dumbledore...always Dumbledore.
