[ she turns on the feed, running a hand through her hair as she prepares what she wants to say. ]

It has come to my attention that there are quite a few different people here, more so, even, than when I was last here. I’m glad to see so many people can, and are, getting along in spite of it, or perhaps because of it. Really, we ought to be advocating equality, especially in a place like this, where we may only have each other to rely on when things are difficult.

In my homeworld, there are many different people as well, varying from humans to giants and even goblins and house-elves. There’s a stigma against all non- or part-humans, given by a lot of wizards who believe in blood purity. They believe that only wizards with pure blood are of any worth and treat the rest of us like we mean nothing to them. [ yes, she did just say “we.” go ahead. ask her about it. ] During my fourth year at wizarding school, I created a society called S.P.E.W., or the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, dedicated to promoting house-elves in the interest of freeing them and gaining them better rights in the Wizarding World. [ don’t even try to convince her that wasn’t a good idea. ]

Recently, I have heard a great deal about a group of people here in Luceti who have received as much ill-will as goblins, giants, and house-elves back at home. That is why I have decided to create a group much like S.P.E.W. called S.A.V.E., the Society Advocating Vampiric Education-

[ a shuffle and the sound of a door banging open interrupts her, followed by a male voice. ]

What the bloody hell are you trying to create now? S.P.E.W. didn't even work out! [ people who know the voice will recognize it as draco’s. ]

It worked out fine! [ there’s more shuffling as hermione stands up from the bed and basically kicks draco out of her room. ] Please, I’m trying to help! [ she huffs and sits back down. ]

As I was saying, I believe we can make a difference in the lives of those here in Luceti, both vampire and non. And honestly, we ought to be working together, not blaming one or two groups of people just so we can feel better about ourselves.

If anyone is interested in joining, all I ask is that you uphold the society’s desire for equality and kindness. I made badges- [ she holds one up. they’re pretty decently sized, round red buttons with gold lettering that says “S.A.V.E. for a brighter future for all.”

draco’s voice returns in the background, yelling through the door to be caught on the journal recording anyway. ]
WHY ARE THEY GRYFFINDOR COLORS?! [ which she is... ignoring. ]

If you’d like one, I’ll be by the fountain all day. Please, don’t let prejudices get in the way of true friendship and kindness. Not everyone falls under labels they’re placed under and not all of those under the negative labels really are as bad as they are made out to be.


[ after this, she can be found by the fountain, as she said. draco will likely be with her, so you may encounter them both. ]
loyalotter: (whoa.. that was unexpected)
[ down, down, they're hurtling down into gringotts. hermione tries not to show the fear she's feeling. she has to be strong; they have to make it into the vault before they're caught. the horcrux is there, everything they've worked on for months is resting on this one action-

-and then it's all over. water rushes over her, dousing the polyjuice potion, eliminating her disguise-

next thing hermione knows is that she's waking up in a very, very familiar place... or so it seems at first. she blinks and slowly sits up. well, honestly, it could be just about any forest, but she can hear and see things through the trees. no, it can't be...

but the open book next to her, the sundress she's wearing, and the black clothes folded next to her solidify her suspicions and so she cries out with the first thing to come to her mind: ]


You have got to be joking.

[ but, no... getting up, she grabs the clothes and her journal, making her way to the edge of the forest. the trees give way to that altogether too familiar village square and she shakes her head. opening up the journal again, she turns to it for clarification. ]

It would seem I've returned. Who else is still here? Harry, Ron? Draco? Are you all here? What month is it? I'm guessing I've arrived in winter or at the end of it, judging from the snow. And what year? How long have I missed?

[ with that, she begins to walk in the direction of house 26, not realizing that it's now empty. she's free to be intercepted at any point, either in the forest or somewhere in the village. ]
loyalotter: (... /eyebrow)
[Hermione is outside, with blankets to sit in and wrap up in, and has her trademark jar of fire in front of her making heat. It's a nice trick and, like everything else she knows, she's glad she learned it. After a few minutes of sitting, she opens up her journal.]

It's not that I don't like the holiday of Valentine's Day. I just don't see why we can't celebrate love every day if we so choose. [Oh, Merlin, Hermione, just stop now. The trolls are gonna come out of the woodwork.] I mean, if you're going to enjoy being around someone, you might as well enjoy it all the time.

[A little later:]


Ron... are you busy? [...Yeah, there's no filter.]

[ooc: first comment reserved! After that, have at :3 obligatory IC stalking of first comment encouraged]
loyalotter: (obligatory studying icon//brb I'm busy)
[ Hermione's been thinking about the DA and what Xion talked to her about a few days ago. As far as she's concerned, it's high time the DA's started to get actively involved in Luceti. It's high time they became protectors and not just a secret society. So, for all you DA members (check the OOC post), she's looking out for you all to talk to you.

After a few minutes, as she hangs out on the porch of House 26, she opens up her journal for a voice post. ]


If you all had the chance to protect someone or a group of people, would you do it?

[A few minutes later, she adjusts the question:]

Rather, if you had the chance to protect someone using magic that wasn't your own, something you would have to work on often with another group of like-minded people, would you do it?

[She can be found either on the porch or in the Welcome Center for actiony things.]
loyalotter: (Tell you my biggest secret)
[Hermione's outside today. Mostly. Kinda sitting out on the porch nervously holding onto her Notebook. Those who have seen her lately might have noticed that in the last few weeks, she's been noticeably happier, and today's no different. She might just also have a case of the nerves for some reason.

Eventually, she pulls out her journal.]


Is anyone celebrating New Years'? Is January when the official year changes here? [What... she hadn't really kept track last year for some stupid reason.]

I suppose it's still reason to celebrate. We're all in this together, after all.


[After a few hours, she's going to seek Harry out. Wherever he is, she's coming!]
loyalotter: (he's gonna be okay right?)
[There are people around. All over. Currently, Hermione is wandering around town, hanging near the fountains, and she's easy enough to spot. She might head for the library soon enough, though. This calls for some research. She can be found pretty much anywhere.]

Why does it feel like this has happened before?

[ooc: tags may come in the morning. jsyk]
loyalotter: (Event: the haircut of doom)
[Well, now that she's feeling much better, it's time for her to announce it to the world. Er by "world" she means "Luceti." Observant people may notice that the little picture of her in the corner of the journal looks as though... it's gotten a rather startling haircut. Feel free to comment.]

The next time someone attempts to keep me in bed for a whole month, I will hex them.

...Yes, I'm feeling much better now. Did I miss anything really important? ...I missed school, didn't I? [And she sounds horribly upset about this.]

I still can't believe I've been here for over a year. Christmas is coming up soon. Does anyone have any special plans for the holidays? What sorts of things would you do in December in your worlds? I'm curious.

[curious and very, very bored.]


Locked to the DA 99% )


[Later on, she can be found wandering the village, enjoying the outdoors after so long inside. Feel free to encounter her. And that haircut mentioned above? It exists. And seems to like drawing attention wherever she goes.]
loyalotter: (HARRY! :D)
[It's early afternoon at this point when Hermione sits down at the dining room table and opens her journal. It's started recording as soon as she tells it to, but the sound of something near the door distracts her.]

...Who left the door open?

[There's a little shuffling as she goes to shut the door and then sits back down in her chair. A little more as she takes a breath to speak and then

there's a sound that's very much a cat's meow. That's definitely not Hermione's voice. She looks down at the floor]

CROOKSHANKS?!

[Cue one delighted Hermione practically squealing as her lap is now the territory of a very familiar cat. The recording keeps going for a few minutes before she finally remembers to shut the journal. Housemates are welcome to come in to see what she yelled about. Seriously? Best birthday ever.]


(ooc: I'll have a permissions thing up for Crookshanks, since he's highly intelligent. Not a requirement to fill it out, but helpful for me.)
loyalotter: (/sigh - patiently raising my hand)
I'd like to apologise to anyone I spoke to last week. I seemed to have believed that magic didn't exist and probably confused and upset a great number of you. I feel normal again, and if anyone needs anything at all, particularly magic- [She says it with a hint of amusement in her voice.] -I'd be happy to do what I can. I hope none of you suffered any terribly ill effects from that.


Locked to Tsuzuki )

Locked to Hisoka )

Locked to Xion )


[Basically, she'll be around town today, trying to figure out how everyone's doing from the crazy event. Feel free to run into her wherever. And this time, she's got her handbag again.]
loyalotter: (/deadpan ...)
[Action-wise, Hermione's probably in the library as usual, reading books. But not the usual kinds of books. Nope, this week she's working through mundane things like earth science and math. And she seems to be enjoying them. Her handbag is nowhere to be seen and she's writing on a notebook in pen, not with a quill and ink. Eventually, she opens her journal - which she has come to accept is battery-operated and hooks into a computer network - to make a journal entry in pen.]

Honestly, I don't understand why no one likes math and science so much. It's fascinating to see how numbers rule our world and how evolution has taken us from one place to another. I'll be in the library all day. If anyone has any other books I can use, I'd love to look at them. None of that magic rubbish, though. Those are just fairytales that don't mean anything.

Ron, I think you still had dirt on your nose this morning when I left.

And don't touch anything in my room. It's perfect the way it is. Neville, did you ever find that cat of yours? I thought it ran away.

I'll be back before dinner, as always.
loyalotter: (HARRY GET OUT OF THERE)
[ooc: backdated to just before the earthquake hit because I am slow like that lmfao. She'll be talking to Hisoka when the earthquake hits, but time before that is fair game for voice responses or action posts. If you're in the DA, you've gotten a lovely little messenger Patronus after the earthquake hits saying to go help people not you, Hisoka, since she can totally see you still. BY THE WAY: anyone who wants to can totally hear THIS THREAD WITH HISOKA until the library dying pretty much auto-shuts it off. Go nuts :3]



[So, today is a normal day, just like any other. Hermione's at the library, just like any other day. She's got her nose buried in a book, just like any other day. And she's glaring across a few tables at Hisoka, just like any other day. After awhile, she pulls out her journal to make a post.]


I hope everyone's doing all right. I suppose nothing's out of the ordinary for the day- [Have another glare, Hisoka.] -but I have a question for, well, anyone. How many books have you found from your home, like spellbooks or school textbooks or that sort of thing? Informative books about other worlds seem to turn up every so often and I was wondering if a few of mine might. It's been almost a year and nothing's really come by, but you know you always miss a couple of them anyway.

I suppose I'll be at the library all day - [have another glare 8D Yes, Hisoka, she's challenging you to complain about it] -so if you particularly need me for anything, you know where to find me. I'll be here for tutoring as well.
loyalotter: (thoughtful // concerned)
[Hello Luceti, guess who got the Anonymous Voice post? Yep, one of the least anonymous people in the entire village. At least it won't be too hard to figure out who's talking... right? Hopefully? Well, since she doesn't realise what it's doing and so can't correct it, the voice doesn't sound as tired as she really is.]

To those who answered my question a few weeks ago, thank you. Everything seems to be back to normal and my friend is fine. He just took a little longer than we'd expected to recover.

Has anyone touched one of those blue discs yet? I haven't been able to figure out what they do and there aren't any books that mention anything like this. I suppose I'll just have to spend the day at the library. [Like this is unusual.]

I know I haven't been around for a few weeks. Have I missed anything?
loyalotter: (Things will never end well for us)
[Written]
[Early morning: Hermione's sitting at the dining room table with her journal and her notebook. There are a couple of ink blots where she's tried to write, but her hand is shaking too much. Eventually, she manages to get out what she needed.]

For those who have been here for a while. I know this is probably a silly question, but I admit I'm curious. After someone returns from the Malnosso, about how long do the effects take to wear off and how bad can those effects be? Call it a study, if you will.


[Action for housemates plus Draco later]
[It's been days since Harry got back from his mallynapping and he's steadily gotten worse. She's watched him flip out about Voldemort one too many times not to know that something is desperately wrong now. His scar's been hurting like it did all fifth year, and nothing anyone has said has done anything to help him. And now, when she just went in to check on him, she's noticed that he's asleep in his bed. But he looks sick. Something is so not right.

And what do you do when all else fails? Call on the DA. So, she's going to knock on each of your doors as soon as she can tell you're all awake. She looks about as worried as Hermione gets.]


"We need to talk. All of us. Something's wrong with Harry."

[And then it's down to the next person. She'll be waiting for you all at the dining room table, which is right under Harry's room so she can tell if something changes with him. Terri the otter will be waiting in the living room for you guys to lead you all to her when you get there, but the Patronus is flickering, like Hermione's having a tough time keeping her there. The witch has her notebook and journal open and she's scanning the pages of each, desperately searching for an answer. Feel free to threadjack into one action thread.]
loyalotter: (Heart Mind and Spirit // trio)
I'm going to be out for the day. Hopefully it won't be longer. If you really need me, send word to Neville or Luna. They'll be able to contact me. I hope everyone's doing well today. Obviously, I won't be able to be in class, the library, or the Welcome Center, so I apologise for that. I'll return as quickly as possible.

Hermione


[Action for Harry, Ron, and Terra]
[Well, the day has come and now she's waiting outside House 26 for everyone to convene. She's pretty sure Harry and Ron are at least awake by now, but if they don't show up by the time Terra gets there, she's going back in and waking them up again. Her handbag is ready on her arm, packed with clothes for the trio plus an extra set for Terra just in case they stay for longer than a day. She's got enough food packed for about a week, again just in case, and anything else they might need. Hermione is nothing if not overly prepared.

So, she's standing with her arms crossed over her chest, waiting for the first person to show up.]


((OOC: Hermione and company are taking a trip to the mountains and would prefer not to be interrupted, so she won't be answering replies ICly until the evening, either when they stop for the night or she gets home. If people reply, I'll be intentionally vague til I know for sure which one it'll be. Also, Tai, I will be so so so so amused if Luna decides to paint a mural of a Crumple-Horned Snorkak on the walls while Hermione's gone or something like that. The resulting explosion will be SO worth it XD))
loyalotter: (I know just the spell!//brb saving us)
[So it's been a month that Hermione hasn't really come out of her room aside from school and eating. But it's been obvious that she's been preoccupied with something this entire time. However, when asked she's simply brushed it off as nothing. Or she's working on a spell. Or something similar. But she wouldn't give a straight answer and waved off the questions every time, usually with a hurried, "I need to go to the library" or "I have work to do." Castmates, feel free to have commented on the normalcy of this, or anything else you might have wanted to say to or about her when she gets like this.

Housemates may also have noticed little explosions and sounds coming from her room and angry huffs of air followed by the sound of pages in a book flipping. Totally Hermione-like noises, right? Again, if asked about the sounds, she'll just reply with a snappy, "I'm busy." Or something similar. Hermione's up to something. But what?

Well, Luceti today's your lucky day! Sort of anyway. More likely that her housemates are the lucky ones. This morning, she comes barreling out of her room, yelling and looking for her two best friends.]


Harry! Ron! I've done it! Where are you? I have to show you this!

[She'll be looking around for you guys. Neville, Luna, Sirius (and Tonks and Draco if they want to say they're nearby for this) are welcome to ask her wtf she's yelling about.

A few hours later, Hermione will be outside trying to work with fire. Luceti, feel free to drop by and ask her wtf she's doing. You'll get an answer, but it might not be the real one.]





[OOC: And I'm still backdating like... two other journal posts I think? But I'll be getting to those shortly. Massive tags, yes, but feel free to comment here and wherever else, too :D]
loyalotter: (... /eyebrow)
[Hermione's day is just like any normal day, except for one major difference: When she gets back home, she notices there's something she hasn't seen in months wandering around the apartment. Electrical appliances. What on earth are they doing here? So of course she investigates. Housemates are welcome to stumble upon her or they can wait for the messenger Patronus: "I need to speak with you again, regarding the ... er... new additions to the house." Feel free to apprehend her at any point in the house. Harry's Patronus messenger will just be a sigh and "I hope no one does anything stupid with these."

[Later on, though, she'll open up her journal and make a voice post.]


Does every place have electrical appliances now or is it just ours? This will likely require an explanation. If you've never seen this sort of thing before, I'd be willing to explain it, but first: whatever you do, don't stick anything metal into one of the outlets.

[Aaand one thing she hasn't quite figured out is that when you tell someone not to do something and don't add the "why" they're less likely to do what you say.]
loyalotter: (caught by the bad guys)
((OOC: PLEASE READ. The first action part is for Draco, Raine, and Harry in that order. After she gets home and talks to Harry, housemates are free to reply and then anyone who's heard she's back and wants to come visit her is free to reply. But please wait for those three first. Thanks!  Have at now, but keep in mind that she is home so all action posts are at home!))

[It's midday in the woods. Calm, quiet. And then... CRUNCH SPLASH. Guess who just got literally dumped into the lake on this cold winter day? And hard enough to break what little ice is still left. Yep. Hermione's back. And she looks like she's been through hell. Coughing, sputtering. She's going to try to climb up onto the bank, because seriously Malnosso? A sprained ankle, a partially bleeding neck, and a bunch of scratches and bruises and you couldn't dump her somewhere dry?

So... the lake just seems to not like people lately.]



[Probably an hour later, writing will appear from her, but her hand is still shaky. If anyone remembers when she first arrived, this handwriting is comparable to that.]

I'd just like to inform everyone that I'm back. It's been long enough that I should have missed an experiment... I hope everyone else is well.

Hermione
loyalotter: (really don't like the sound of that)
...Well that was certainly interesting. I hope everyone made it out of the snow and back to their residences safely. I was caught at home, so I'm fine. If any of my housemates are coming home frozen, I'll have my bluebell flames in their jar in the middle of the common room.

I'd also like to hear from everyone I haven't spoken to yet since the blizzard ended. How are you all doing?


[Hermione is going to send a Messenger Patronus to her housemates, no matter where they are. It says, "Are you all right? Please see me. I need to teach you this." Except to Harry. His says, "I need to teach you this and for you to teach me something," but it comes back to her, whining...

[She'll be waiting on the bottom floor.]
