Phineas was rushing. He couldn't help it; he had somewhere to go. And he wasn't looking where he was going and then he crashed into the exact person he didn't want to see - Albus Dumbledore.
It's not that Albus Dumbledore was a bad person; Albus Dumbledore was a great person! He was just fantastic! Which is why Phineas didn't want to see him.
Lately, Albus had been giving speeches around Hogwarts. It was probably the most controversial thing he'd ever done in his whole career as a Hogwarts student -
He was trying to convince people that Muggles should have rights.
Phineas was part of the powerful pureblood house of Black. He didn't give Muggle rights; they were below him, they were the scum of the earth.
And yet...
Albus' speeches - he couldn't help but hear some of them. There was no way to get away from hearing people talk about them and he eventually just went to one himself, even though his father, the freaking headmaster of Hogwarts, would kill him if he found out he was listening to a Muggle-lover.
And Albus was convincing. That was the truth. Albus was convincing and Phineas was questioning his beliefs.
He could tell that Albus didn't know who he was, though, so he just apologized and left, wanting to push Albus out of his thoughts.
