3rd Gryffindor Note - [voice]

[She sounds tired, interested in what she's doing, but very weary. Every so often, there's the rustle of a page, as though she's reading something. Knowing Hermione, she's in the library.]

These books are fascinating. I almost feel as though I'm back in my first school, studying for a test or something. Sciences, math, literature. Makes me miss the library at Hogwarts, not counting the librarian.

I wonder how everyone's doing...

[She sighs heavily. There's the scraping of a chair and then a thump later on, as though she's just set another book on the table.]

At least I have time to read now. Are there any other bookworms out here?

It's hard to find anything humorous about her.

[Fair enough. She just shrugs.]

[Continues walking then until they get to the weapons shop] Have you bothered looking in the obvious place?

I did the first day I came here. It wasn't there, but I haven't been back. Do they periodically restock?

Usually, yes. [Already heading inside]

[Hello, that sounds promising. She follows.] I didn't know that.

See? There are some things that I know that you don't. [An actual attempt at a joke? From Draco? Major progress. Good job, Hermione.]

[She has to wrestle a bit with her normal 'have-to-be-right-at-everything' mode and the realisation that he IS joking with her.] And I'm sure there's more.

You'd be surprised. I have good looks and brains. I know, it's amazing, not something you see every day. [Still jokes, but they're also slight jabs at the Gryffindor boys. Oh well, it's a start.]

[She's smiling as she rolls her eyes here.] Since you've got the brains, you can show me where my wand should be.

[Shooting her that classic "charming" grin, Draco's going to stride over to a corner of the shop where the smaller weapons are and direct her to a box where there seem to be all kinds of objects] Should be around here.

[Have a confused look... and then a little dismay.] Right here? I don't see it.

...Or Bellatrix's. Maybe one will turn up later. [At least she knows exactly where to look now.]

...what? [Looks for himself and just stares] But one of them should be right there.

...They apparently don't want me to have one.

So they decided to give me one instead? Makes perfect sense.

[She sounds a bit disgruntled.] Don't ask me to explain how this world works.

I don't need you to explain anything, Granger. Besides, I'm pretty sure I'd just believe what I wanted to anyway.

Oh of course; I forgot. [She's obviously affected by this more than she wants you to think.]

Trying to outwit me isn't going to help you find your wand faster, you know. [He's just thinking she's irritated with his attitude more than anything.]

[She rubs a hand over her face so her voice is muffled.] Sorry, I wasn't trying to. [for once.]

[Raises an eyebrow at that statement.] Finally come to your senses and realize it's impossible?

[she is trying to be logical while he is joking-ish. This isn't going to be pretty.]

No, I just... I'd really hoped it would be here.

Hoping has never done anything for anybody.

[Her hand drops and she shoots him a bit of a glare.] Then what do you suggest?

Do something about it. Ask questions, check the other shops constantly, don't sit on your hands and hope the answer will come to you in the form of a book.
