"Amelia, the value of this open class..." Dumbledore said softly to Amelia Bones beside him, "may be far, far greater than I previously imagined."
"Oh?" Amelia Bones was applauding with all her might. "Albus, you seem to have... sensed something more?"
"Of course!" Dumbledore gave a slight nod, his eyes shining behind his half-moon spectacles.
"What Vizet is doing now is exactly what I have always wanted to try, but have kept putting off because of how many matters there have been lately."
"Oh?" Amelia Bones's applause slowed, and she asked tentatively, "So it still has to do with education?"

"I like this magazine very much," Amelia Bones said without hesitation, a faint, almost nostalgic smile rising at the corner of her mouth.
"To be honest, when I first came across this magazine, it even made me complain a little."
"Complain?" Dumbledore blinked. "Surely... not about me, I hope?"
"Of course it was about you!" Amelia Bones said with a smile and a nod. "Think about it. When I was studying magic at Hogwarts, you never suggested founding anything like Hogwarts Voice."
Dumbledore spread his hands. "Then I suppose I should first apologize, and then properly defend myself..."
"You must understand, when you were studying magic at Hogwarts, I had only just become headmaster myself. I truly had very little experience."
