Voice / Action

[This part is muttered, as though she didn't really want it to be broadcast.] So... who's still missing a wand? I don't recognise this one.

I'm going to be wandering around the park today. Does anyone want to join me? It sounds like just the relaxation we all could use.

[It's been about a day since she found it but she hasn't told anyone about it yet. Currently, she's wandering the park with it, though it's tucked away in her handbag, wrapped up of course. She's not going to risk breaking a magical item like that. Feel free to stop her outside a ride or something. You might be able to convince her to go inside. She does, however, look a bit preoccupied.]

But he knows other things. [He pauses there, looking at the wand again.]

...what are you going to do?

...[She really doesn't want to say what's on her mind right now regarding that because it sounds beyond ridiculous to her own ears.]

I'm going to put it back in its case and slide that back in my bag for safekeeping. That's all.

I'm not afraid to penetrate your mind, Hermione.

[That garners a wide-eyed look. Her hands are tight on her handbag, but she's ready to reach for her wand if she has to.] I'll fight you if you do. [She's serious about this, Draco.]

Why can't you just tell me what you're thinking of?

Because I was telling you the truth! That's all I'm going to do with it! [She's sincere and serious here and he can definitely tell. Her voice is shaking, but that's from worry and fear. This is bringing up really nasty memories after all.]

There's more to it than that! I know there is!

[She just stares at you worriedly for a moment.]

So what do you want me to say? That I have Voldemort's wand and I want to keep it from breaking? We don't know what a broken wand will do here?

[Her wand hand drops to her side. She's ready to grab her wand at any moment.]

Listen to me. Do you have any idea how stupid it would be to give him his wand?

Yes... yes I do. I...I don't want to... He's Tom Riddle here, not Lord Voldemort. [So. Many. Conflicting. Thoughts.]

Yeah, well Tom Riddle's a downright prick.

I can't deny that. [She doesn't want to admit what's on her mind, but there's fear on her face if he can see between her fingers.]

May I please replace the wand in its box now?

...I don't want you to have it.

[she was afraid of that.]

I told you. I'm not going to do anything with it but put it back in my bag.

And that's what I'm concerned about.

What's so concerning about that? I'm not going to snap it. [Click.] And neither are you!

...that's not what I was planning. [Except, of course, he was.]

You don't know what it would do! You don't know the damage it could cause to our world or this one! We have no idea how the destruction of magical items could damage this place! It's too risky. Give it here. [And she'll hold out the hand that's not by her side in case she needs to draw her own wand.]

I'm not going to snap it, so, no.

Please? [Think wisely, Draco. Last chance here before she pulls out her wand on you.]

Right, because I'm going to allow you to put yourself in danger. I'm your strategist, Granger. Trust me.

[Or not because that caught her off-guard. Why does he suddenly care about her putting herself in danger?]

"Strategist?" Oh come on. I'd just like to be able to hold onto it for safekeeping. That's why I have my bag, remember?

Yes, strategist. Don't mock me. If he knows you have it, he'll come after you and more than likely test it in front of, if not on you.

I can take care of myself. I'm not stupid enough to hold onto it unarmed and unprepared. [Not to mention he's younger than she is and has therefore not learned nearly what she has.]

...damn it, fine. Take the ruddy thing. [Hands it over, but you can bet he's completely pissed that he's being overruled.]
