11th Gryffindor Note - [text/Action]

...Well that was certainly interesting. I hope everyone made it out of the snow and back to their residences safely. I was caught at home, so I'm fine. If any of my housemates are coming home frozen, I'll have my bluebell flames in their jar in the middle of the common room.

I'd also like to hear from everyone I haven't spoken to yet since the blizzard ended. How are you all doing?

[Hermione is going to send a Messenger Patronus to her housemates, no matter where they are. It says, "Are you all right? Please see me. I need to teach you this." Except to Harry. His says, "I need to teach you this and for you to teach me something," but it comes back to her, whining...

[She'll be waiting on the bottom floor.]

[...Padfoot sees a chair. Padfoot's going to attempt jumping onto the chair to jump over to the table then!]

Of course not. [He's doing his best to avoid her looks] I know exactly what to expect on my end.

[...osnap. Terri backs up a bit. And she was getting so comfy, too! DX]

[And she has no idea how to respond to that... none at all.]

I almost wish I knew for myself. Harry's been just a little bit further, but even with what he told me, I still don't know how it'll all turn out.

[Padfoot is not easily discouraged. Still hopping on stuff to get to Terri]

...you're the sodding Golden Trio, you know how it'll turn out. Even when bad things happen, you three pull out as heroes and everything goes back to normal for a while.

[brb leaping off the table now.]

...But I don't know how many people are going to die first. Madam Bones, Emmiline Vance, Hannah Abbott's mother, Dumbledore... who else? Who will we lose before we win?

[And this is what really bothers her.]

[FOLLOWING.]

...war's always been about who stays alive. It's one of those things that we have to just wait for Potter to end it all. But at least we know it's going to happen at some point.

[Okay, fine, you want to play? We're climbing up on a chair to divebomb you from above.]

[She's none too happy about this.]

I don't like it. We shouldn't have to worry about who's going to betray us or how long Bellatrix is going to torture us or anything like that.

[Divebombing otter ahoy! Padfoot's just going to yip and roll when Terri lands on him]

...who're you worried about betraying you?

[She paws at Padfoot a little before tearing off again.]

...No one right now. I was thinking of Snape.

[Padfoot's a derp, so he follows! Bye guys.]

...mm. I suppose that's true enough. You should be wary of others as well.

[Terri streaks off around the house and tries to hop up on a cabinet.]

...I don't want to have to worry about anyone else. Riddle and Snape are enough.

[There's probably the sound of a chair being knocked over as Padfoot runs into it chasing after Terri, attempting to follow.]

You understand what I'm getting at, don't you?

[Terri comes bolting back in as Hermione waves her wand to set up whatever it was that got knocked down.]

...Yes, but that doesn't mean I like it.

[Padfoot's still following though.] I'm just saying...you never know how things will really turn out, no matter how much you'd like to believe things can change.

[Back up on the table!]

I know. Doesn't mean I can't try.

[Oh gdi, cannot hop on the table D:]

Do they teach optimism in Gryffindor house, or is it just you and Potter?

[VICTOLY]

I think it's a requirement of Gryffindor House. [She laughed gently.]

[Padfoot's just going to sit at the foot of the table and whine.]

And somehow, I'm not surprised. [There's a half-smile, at least.] Just keep in mind what I've been saying.

[brb Padfoot's getting divebombed again.]

I know. I will, even if I don't like it.

Have you heard from Snape or Riddle lately?

[There is suddenly a pile of Patronus rolling around on the ground!]

Lately...not incredibly recently, just bits and pieces of things. I need to start following both of them more closely now.

[Hermione can't help but giggle at them a little.]

I guess so. It's worrisome that Riddle hasn't made his presence known more.

[derp-tronusss. Draco watches them for a few moments before shrugging in response to Hermione's statement]

He might be planning something against us. I'll keep an eye out.

[She nods while watching the two silver things without really seeing them.]

...Thanks. I wish I could see what they're up to. It might make things a lot easier.

This is why you have me playing both sides. That's the whole point.

I just don't want you to get hurt doing it.

[Terri takes that moment to dart away.]

I think I'm capable of taking care of myself...you trust me, don't you? [Terri come back! Padfoot's just going to run off, too]
