II – Calling out

Albus Dumbledore had never, when he discovered that Harry had a blood connection with Voldemort linking him to a second life and a new chance for survival, anticipated that the Blood part of the Resurrection Ritual would give Harry even more – and at the same time less – chance of coming out the victor in this war.
To have mates as a Venquine will definitely bring out attributes to Harry's magic that, normally, he would never be able to reach, but the fact that these mates live this far away – in an entire different universe – also endangers the boy as the chance is there that the people living in that universe will not give up their lives there for a total stranger.
Hoping for the chance that these mates have the same selfless hearts as Harry himself Albus ponders on how to contact the secret member of the Board of Governors. Armando had not ever told him how to contact the member, but Albus knows that now, he has to convince the slightly wary man to finally let him know.

He turns to the portrait of the man with long white hair around his head, but a large bald spot on the top of his head, hidden from view by his wizarding hat. The man also has a white beard and mustache, the mustache flowing over into the beard and his small brown eyes are hidden by long, thin white eyebrows but stand out against his pale skin.
The man looks down at Albus and he says: "Armando, one of our students is a Venquine, but his mates are of another universe. You must tell me how to contact the secret member of the Board of Governors. Him living in the same universe as the mates is our only hope of ever waking the student in question."
The man nods and says: "In the same cabinet as in which you hide your stone Pensive, there is a small drawer that hides a special watch. This watch allows you to contact the member's teacher, Master Yen Sid. He will inform the member, who I've heard is also a king, that he is to come here. Contact Master Yen Sid and the member will come."

Relieved at having gained enough of the man's confidence in him that this secret is told, Albus quickly does as instructed, concerned for the boy he considers a grandson and for which he often grieves as he reminds himself of the fate the child's scar has set out for him. These thoughts Albus pushes back as he searches the cabinet.
About 7 inches above the ground, all the way to the right of the cabinet, does Albus indeed find an indention into the wooden frame, a straight line that goes sideways, before slightly going down and then going back to the other side and going back up; clearly the outer frame of a small drawer, roughly the size of Albus' own wrist.
Using his nails to cling to the sides of the drawer he slowly pulls it open and finds a simple watch, having a black leather band and a red wooden frame around the glass that actually shines down on the back of the wooden frame instead of showing arms, numbers or any other things you would usually find on a watch.
The only thing indicating that this is indeed a watch is the small button at the side, but even this is different as normal ones can be pulled away from the frame before turning to adjust the time on the watch, this button is clearly meant to be pressed. Albus grabs it and puts it on his wrist, watching its frame intrigued as Dippet says:
"Just press the button and say the upcoming." Albus nods and under the guidance of the man that gave him both the job of Transfigurations teacher and later Headmaster, he says: "I, the Headmaster of Hogwarts, wish an audience with the appointer of our Secret Member to the Board of Governors. Please hear my call."

The glass turns foggy as if mist or condense is collecting behind the screen and then the mist moves to the outer ring of the frame, showing a beautiful moon-shaped window and a man that shockingly enough looks older than both Dumbledore and Dippet. The man has a grey beard that parts down the middle and large white eyes with small black pupils.
He also has grey hair and with his small nose and bushy eyebrows he is obviously severe looking and not one to be messed with. Instantly feeling respect for the man, something Albus only experienced with Armando, Nicholas and Penerelle Flamel, Albus speaks with fervent respect and says: "Greetings, Master Yen Sid."

The man bows his head and says: "Greetings, I had not ever expected to be in need of communicating through this watch. What brings you to seek the help of one outside your own world?" And so Albus quickly explains: "A student of mine that I secretly have dubbed my favorite is of Venquine Nature, Master Yen Sid.
Thus he required Mates and has just gone into a sleep that will allow him to reach out to them and call them to him. But his mates are from another universe and if it is not the universe in which our Secret Member of the Board of Governors, your pupil, lives in, my student, who I have closed within my heart, will never wake again."
The man bows his head again and says: "Then I will call for my student and he will come. Wait for him as I can indeed sense a light and strong heart reaching out to many of the worlds over which I look out. I will also contact one of them as he resides in the same world as I, he will travel along with my student."

Relieved beyond words Albus thanks the man and he speaks: "May we meet again." Causing the mist to fog up the glass again before the red wood of the frame once again becomes visible. Albus quickly puts the watch back and taps the drawer with his wand, charming it to only open for him before he turns and thanks Armando.
The elder men, who only died three years ago, nods and says: "You call your favoritism a secret, Albus, but anyone with eyes can see the bond that has grown since you raised your glass to that boy at the Opening Feast of his First year." Albus smiles at this and leaves back for London, not noticing the weird behavior of his Phoenix.
