Chapter 569: Interlude 40: Kunou's Hogwarts Adventures Part 3
Dumbledore POV
I waited patiently as the Floo network connected all the way across the world.
It allowed me time to marvel at how our society had progressed in the years. Before the Second World War, we didn't have Floo networks that could reach this distance. Not that it wasn't possible, but many of our magical societies were a bit more insular.
And that was saying something considering how we are still rather conservative in nearly every aspect.
"Headmaster Dumbledore-san." The fiery image of Mahoutoko's Headmistress appeared in my fireplace.
"Headmistress Sumiko-san." I stood up and performed the proper bow of respect.
Sumiko chuckled from her side. "It's been far too long, Dumbledore-san. I appreciate the sentiment, but such things are unnecessary. I am adept enough at your western culture to navigate a conversation with an old friend."
"Ah, I thank you, Sumiko. I admit, my knowledge of proper Japanese etiquette has reached its limits." I shared a small laugh. "I apologize for the late call."
