"Are you absolutely, positively sure you know nothing about why I might be here? Not even a totally out-there, wild guess?" The freelancer never begs, for any reason, but her desperate pleas were coming close.
"Miss Karmah," Dumbledore said, the normal twinkle associated with him, diminishing from his eye as annoyance set in. "Not in my wildest dreams could I fathom why a character such as yourself could want with my school. Also I'm shocked you could even find the castle, as you appear to have no magical abilities." He paused to blow an enormous pink bubble, bursting it with a loud 'pop'. "However, if I was to hazard a guess, judging by your apparel and what you have said, you are 'hunting'something."
Karmah allowed herself the leisure of dropping her head onto the desk with a resounding thud. A wave of extreme weariness and surrealism consumed her and she found herself flirting with the idea of leaving the headmaster in the dark and going acapella on this. She quickly dismissed it though, as her logical side pointed out, this was too hard for one person to do unaided. Plus she had no backup if things went wrong. 'Besides' she mused, thinking of his mile long silver beard, 'He's been headmaster for decades, surely he know some tricks for containing teenage girls'
In a demonstration of extreme will, Karmah raised her head off the mahogany with a groan. She took a deep breath, trying to summon the energy and the willpower to explain just how bad the situation was. With that though Karmah got a light bulb on how to approach the situation
"Headmaster, sir" Karmah stuttered, trying to find the words, "Have you noticed anything particular...in how ...certain people...have been acting? Or similarly, a dramatic increase in "bad vibes' over the past few weeks? That doesn't include Voldie, these vibes are different, but comparable in that they are both evil vibes. Do you know what I mean?"Karmah prayed to God above that he did: she didn't know if she could rephrase what she was trying to say any other way.
Dumbledore furrowed his brow, and stared skeptically at the huntress, almost as if unsure if he could trust her. After a pregnant pause, he lent forward til he rested on his elbows, hands folded in front of his face.
"Unfortunately I do know what your talking about, as there has been a drastic increase in dark energy within these walls, of a signature that I have never known before."
Karmah gave an almost audible sigh of relief.
"Well that makes this a little easier," She breathed, "The change you felt were the Sue infiltrating your realm. Now you understand about the different realms of the universe, right?
"I have my theories, but if you will, please explain." Dumbledore requested with a wave of his hand, accidentally setting off one of his gold trinkets.
Karmah silenced the object with a glance and spotted his pensive. Her eyes lit up and she walked over to it.
"In the all encompassing space we reside in," She said, using hand gestures to emphasizes the enormity of her words, "There are multiple realms, or if you wish, parallel universes, all co-existing side by side."
She beckoned him over to the basin.
Karmah tapped her head with her staff and placed the silvery strand in the pewter bowl. She tapped the pool, calling forth the image just placed inside.
The room darkened, as seven diversely colored strands flashed across in front of the two, looking very much like a straight rainbow. Except the lines waved and bent. And each line waved a different amount. The red one, by far had the longest wavelength, taking sweeping waves, with vast distances between the tops of each wave. In contrast, the violet line made short and quick waves, looking for all its worth a broken neon light.
"As you can see, each universe has its own wavelength. The red being the lowest and the violet being the highest, just as with the rainbow."
She reached forward and touched the green strand, which separated into many strands of various green coloring.
"And again," She continued, "With accordance to the light spectrum, within each realm are various worlds. You experience this first hand with your correspondence with the muggle world"
She turned back to the diagram where two of the lines had been names; one 'muggle' and the other 'wizard'.
"You exist in the '
