Times are changing, my dears. I see more signs of it every day, oh yes - we are moving. Pieces in a chess game, my dears, moving like us. One can only hope that they change for the better, I personally see it getting more dire day by day, for myself at least. The tower seems so unquestionably lonely at times, in the company of one's own thoughts.

There certainly is a lot of chess talk on these books lately. Has it been made part of the Hogwarts curriculum, then?

Those gifted with the Sight know that the most profitable knowledge comes from observing and reflecting upon one's surroundings, my dear.

I thought it came from observing and reflecting upon crystal balls or teacups? Though I suppose those do qualify as surroundings.

My surroundings are not particularly revealing--just noisy. All those motorbike demonstrations for potential but inevitably "just browsing, thanks" customers, you know.

How much sherry is that, Sibyll?

Just enough, my dear...just enough.

Items such as crystal balls and the shapes of tea leaves are only aids to help us see what is around us. To truly understand the future, we must understand the present, and of course - the past.
