"... but Dumbledore is gone, Harry. He's gone."Not that I knew Dean Kessler well or anything, but it would be cool to start a "KA" and practice dueling charms.
"He will only be gone from the school when none here are loyal to him," said Harry, smiling in spite of himself.
(JK Rowling, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)
In ancient Greece, the asclepion was a healing temple dedicated to Asclepius, the God of Medicine. Asclepius learned the art of surgery from the centaur Chiron and had the ability to raise the dead. The Rod of Asclepius is a roughhewn branch entwined with a single serpent.

KA
There was a Chancellor's reception yesterday, but I decided not to go, partly because it was raining, and partly because I think how he handled the situation with Dean Kessler was unsatisfactory (I wrote a post about that several weeks ago). It then occurred to me that this situation finds an interesting parallel with Dumbledore's dismissal by Cornelius Fudge.
