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;))

I'm sure they would. Those whose opinions truly matter are the ones who don't care about purity of blood or anything other than the deeds you perform and the goodness inside you.

What about the rest of your world-- do they feel the same way too?

[She hesitates.] The Ministry's policy has always been tolerance, but no government is completely safe. However, most witches and wizards co-exist happily with people who are different. Only the pureblood elitists really care, but those numbers are becoming increasingly small. [Especially when one converts them to the other side.]

... then maybe there is hope for my world too. But... I have to find a way to get back home first.

[Voice]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

We're working on that. I believe... I believe there's always hope. [Silly Dumbledore and silly war and silly luceti affecting her.]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah...

[He used to believe that too, but then... well.]

...You don't sound convinced.

[You're talking to the girl who was tortured simply because she's Muggle-born. She understands.]

I've been here for almost a year and a half now.

We'll keep trying. I haven't given up on something yet.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Not ever?

[Voice]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

Never and it usually pays off. There's always something to be done, some new angle to use to find the answer.

[He's quiet for a moment as he considers this. There are some people who have been here even longer than he has...]

[Voice]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

[She'll wait a little bit before replying.] I'd love to know the answer, and until we discover it, we have to keep vigilant. But that's no reason to give up.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah...

[He really wishes he could believe that.]
