((OOC: PLEASE READ. The first action part is for Draco, Raine, and Harry in that order. After she gets home and talks to Harry, housemates are free to reply and then anyone who's heard she's back and wants to come visit her is free to reply. But please wait for those three first. Thanks! Have at now, but keep in mind that she is home so all action posts are at home!))

[It's midday in the woods. Calm, quiet. And then... CRUNCH SPLASH. Guess who just got literally dumped into the lake on this cold winter day? And hard enough to break what little ice is still left. Yep. Hermione's back. And she looks like she's been through hell. Coughing, sputtering. She's going to try to climb up onto the bank, because seriously Malnosso? A sprained ankle, a partially bleeding neck, and a bunch of scratches and bruises and you couldn't dump her somewhere dry?

So... the lake just seems to not like people lately.]

[Probably an hour later, writing will appear from her, but her hand is still shaky. If anyone remembers when she first arrived, this handwriting is comparable to that.]

I'd just like to inform everyone that I'm back. It's been long enough that I should have missed an experiment... I hope everyone else is well.

[She smiles at the healing spell. She doesn't want to wear Raine out, but it's appreciated all the same.]

We have to. We've never had a choice. Ron and I made our decision to help Harry practically the moment we became friends with him in first year. And if we didn't fight, the whole world would be overrun with Death Eaters.

[It's not like she minds, you know. Her priority is getting Hermione home in one piece.]

Not everyone would make the same decision in that kind of situation. Even when the path you chose feels like the obvious right one. Though your world is very fortunate to have you.

[Yes but Hermione likes being able to do things herself.]

I suppose you have a point. [The compliment is met with a smile, though, before she turns forward. She's pretty sure the house is close by...]

Do you want to come inside or do you have things to get back to?

I'll help you get settled in, if you like. How does some tea sound?

Brilliant. [She looks relieved, too.] Thank you.

(ooc: want to end here and assume or get them inside and then end?)

You're certainly welcome. [She gives her a warm smile, and continues to help her toward the house, which is indeed nearby now.]

[ooc: We can end o/ I'm really sorry for such fail on my part.]

[Hermione will forever consider herself lucky because of her friends.]

((ffff I had just as much fail, especially recently. Call it even ♥ \o))
