8th Gryffindor note [voice] / [action]

[loyalotter]

It seems as though people come and go a lot here. I noticed it a while back, but you don't think the people doing the going will be those you're close to or know well until... they disappear, too. It's too much to hope that things will remain relatively constant, isn't it?

Ron's gone... isn't he?


[Hermione's going to be sitting out in the middle of the ground with a bunch of mats and blankets. She's got a small fire going on a pile of rocks in front of her. It looks like it shouldn't be possible, but there's definitely a fire there. And it makes the air around it warm. So she's pretty toasty now. If you want to say hello, you can be toasty warm, too, as long as you sit down.]




((OOC: replies will likely be slow still, but I'm definitely more here than I have been |D;))

[She looks up and offers a tired smile.]

That's what I'm hoping. I don't think the Malnosso took him or there would have been signs of a struggle. Ron's not the type to just willingly go with people, not in a situation like this.

[She scoots over a little in case Tonks wants to sit down with her.] How are you doing?

No, and I definitely don't think he'd leave you and Harry here if he could possibly help it.

[She takes Hermione up on that offer. It's chilly.]

I'm doing fine. Remus is a bit under the weather again, but that's to be expected. [The full moon is only a day and a half away, after all.] He's not overly fond of the cold and snow, not like I am.

[And now Tonks is being offered a blanket as it really is cold.]

I would hope not. [And a small sigh.] I just hope he's home and safe.

And I'm sorry I haven't been able to find anything to help him, but maybe bluebell flames like these might at least help the warmth. [She loves her flames and will probably cart them around all winter.]

[Tonks smiles a little.]

Wherever he is, I'm sure he's thinking about you.

Anyway, you've been busy with other things lately - we all have. It happens like that. Sneaks up on you sometimes. Even for Remus. He'll be all right. We've got bluebell flames going practically nonstop in the flat.

[She returns the smile.]

If I'm right in my theory, he's home with all of us now, so at least he's not alone.

It feels like I've been here for ages... and then one day passes and it's like I've only just arrived again. [She curls her legs under her and watches the pretty fire.] I'm glad he has you, Tonks. ['Cause she can totally remember the poor man when he was teaching at Hogwarts.]

We'll hope for the best, then. I always prefer that, anyway.

[And then she laughs a little.] I'm glad he has me, too... I wouldn't want him here without me to keep an eye on him.

[She smiles.] I hope so.

You two work really well together and I'm so glad things are going well for you, even with the moon cycles and our magic being dampened. Maybe it'll just keep getting better.
