Meeting

Dumbledore led the three Elflings, the young wizard and witch, the squib and Harry's cousin to the grand hall. Ai's smile broadened as he saw the place and nodded at this sister as he went over to a corner and his what he had been caring behind his back. He pulled out his sketch book and began to sketch out what he saw.

"Looks like he'll be occupied…" Ainel rolled his eyes.

"Let me introduce those who are here to you," Dumbledore commented. "This is Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Filtch, Hagrid, Professor Trelawney, Fudge, Umbridge, Mr. Malfoy, Tonks, Lupin, Oliver Wood, Mr. and Mrs. Weasly and their many children, Kingsley, Mrs. Malfoy and Draco Malfoy."

"How come Mrs. Malfoy isn't sitting with Mr. Malfoy," Irumi whispered into Harry and Hermione's ears.

"Ahh… if it isn't the deliteful Quiditch Seeker for the Anwe Quiditch team that's started up," Fudge commented.

"These are Irumi and Ai Hikari, and Ainel Lox… Elflings from Anwe," Dumbledore motioned his hand.

"A very old race…" Mr. Malfoy's tone was either very snide or he there was something more to it. "And a very interesting one at that."

"And this is Dudely Dursley… he is Harry's cousin and is a very understanding Muggle and because he is family, he is allowed to know about all of this,"

"You actually let a freaking Muggle in here," Draco snapped. Before Dudley could make a move to punch him, Mrs. Malfoy actually lectured her son, which caused a few eyebrows to rise. Irumi got a glint in her eye as if somethings clicked and a smile spread on her face too. Draco took one look at her and found himself shrinking back.

"Now, take a seat and we'll be onto business," Dumbledore commented. "The first question is, how to figure out who knows what and who remembers what."

"I haven't a clue how to go about this," Fudge commented. "I mean… how do we follow through to make it so that it goes out the multitudes."

"Put it in the news, a small thing that only those who would know would be able to respond to," Ainel suddenly spoke up. "I don't remember anything, but even I know that that is the modern day way of mass communication."

"But how do we reach those who aren't in the wizarding community?" Umbridge smiled at them as if she saw some flaw. "Those who are … Muggle born don't have asccess to our newspapers and the Muggle news network is vast…"

"The web," came five voices at once, belonging to Harry, Hermione, Irumi, Dudely and Ainel.

"Spider web…" Ronald Weasly muttered.

"No…" Irumi sighed. "The web is the most advanced form of communication one can think of… one has axcess to tons of information on the landslide, though not all of it be true. It is technologically based, so you would need someone who knows technology… and be careful what you decide to put so that those reading the books would not respond… you wouldn't want that would you."

"Second issue," hissed Lucius. "It that blasted book…"

"There is nothing you can do about it," Dudley commented. "Even I know that the Wizarding community would not be able to iradicate millions of peoples minds and get rid of millions of books in a matter of seconds… unless they had the power of M.I.B."

Irumi stifled a snort. "And those guys are supposedly fictional… of course… if the Edain's story of it is true… then there are worlds in the starts that one can't even think of."

"You are insane," Draco muttered. "There is only Earth… and there is no way that the Muggle population numbers in the millions.

"No… there aren't millions of Muggles," Draco gave Hermione a smug look, but her next statement washed it right away. "There are billions…"

"I don't see how that is possible," Fudge sighed. "I mean, the wizarding population numbers in the thousands…"

"What Space age are you living in…" Irumi muttered.

"We are not familiar with that term dear," Umbridge did not mean any indearment to the Elfling.

"Guys… the wizarding world is rather… behind what is going on in the Muggle world…" Harry commented.

"And the weapons of mass destruction…" Dudley snorted, thinking it was funny. "So… they don't know about gaming systems… that is such a shame."

"Onto the next subject…" Dumbledore quickly intervened. "… of one Sirius Black…"

"I would release him, but Dumbledore, I need proof for the community. We did give that dear mother whom we sent a finger to an award, and for her to find out… and everyone to find out with no proof would be devastating,"

"Well… Fudge is using his brain for once," George commented.

"I'm surprised that it was the second twin that spoke up…" Irumi suddenly caused all of the heads to turn to her.

"Crum… she's good," Fred muttered. "You do know George… typically I'm the one who's supposed to say things like that."

"Are those all the things that we need to speak about?" Lucius asked. "I wish to get back to the manor… and perhaps my wife and son would wish to accompany me."

"Yes… for now," Dumbledore sighed.

Author's note – Draco pops up onto the screne… well, someone managed to have no character pop up in the last chapter… oh my. I haven't a clue what is going on with those Muggles and overgrown House Elves, but I do know some hints about what is going on with my family were shown.
