[It's a couple of minutes before she actually says anything, but there are a few doodles on the page. When she does speak, she's very subdued.]

I guess this is the next experiment. It seems to be... a strange one anyway. I wonder who has my body?

...This is Hermione, for those who don't recognise my voice or my face. I don't look like I normally do.

[So the basic turn of events for Hermione: She wakes up rather groggy, eyes not quite as red or scratchy as she thought they'd be. Hello, something's off. She doesn't really notice her body change just yet as she makes her way out of the random room she was in. And a little later notices the body of her best friend... whom she had just fought with not a few days ago and who has been resolutely refusing to speak with her. Can't deal with seeing him yet. Hermione flees the house.

Currently, she (in the body of Raine Sage) is sitting by the lake, with her knees curled up to her chin. Those who know her, even if they've only spoken to her for a minute or less, can EASILY tell that something is very, VERY wrong here. Feel free to talk to her.]

[She nods.] Especially after you've seen people die from that green light. [And nearly been killed by it yourself.]

Our magic is much the same with colour, though I've never known magic to be very wearing aside from the Patronus Charm or others that required intense mental focus.

I see... I'm sorry, I probably should have prepared you better.

Well, it's only wearing if you use too much at once. Which can occur during skirmishes, depending on how long it takes or how much the user can actually handle. The more powerful the spell used, the more draining the result will be.

You had no way of knowing.

[She listens carefully and nods.] That makes sense. I guess my magic doesn't really have limits like that. It sounds like yours might draw upon your own strength, whereas mine seems to draw upon a separate reservoir that's not connected to physical strength.

Something like that, yes. Mana is the very source of life itself; using too much of it in general is a drain if not monitored properly, whether it is used by spell casting or other means.

I'll keep that in mind, then. [She smiles, then.] This is all very fascinating. I've never really had a chance to get used to any of the other magic types available here, but to have a hands-on chance is amazing. [She sounds quite enthusiastic and looks it, too. This was definitely a good distraction.]

I suppose it is a bit of a unique learning experience. Perhaps we should compare notes on it, when it's over.

That would be very, very fun. [She sounds thrilled now.]

We should go back inside, though. [Where they could talk about who knew what else now that Hermione was feeling better.]

[Raine seems rather pleased at the thought herself. It's probably been a while since either of them smiled this much at once, really. Nerds ...]

Yes, that's a very good idea.

[Hermione will lead the way back inside, then. And she is very happy she's found someone to be a nerd with like this. Harry and Ron have never really been into it like this.]

[It is certainly quite refreshing to be nerdy and to have someone who appreciates it rather than be baffled or bored. They can probably reheat the tea and just talk for a while.]
