24th Gryffindor Note [action/written]

[Hermione's outside today. Mostly. Kinda sitting out on the porch nervously holding onto her Notebook. Those who have seen her lately might have noticed that in the last few weeks, she's been noticeably happier, and today's no different. She might just also have a case of the nerves for some reason.

Eventually, she pulls out her journal.]


Is anyone celebrating New Years'? Is January when the official year changes here? [What... she hadn't really kept track last year for some stupid reason.]

I suppose it's still reason to celebrate. We're all in this together, after all.


[After a few hours, she's going to seek Harry out. Wherever he is, she's coming!]

We note the year change on the 26th of October, since that's when the first cycle began. Not that it's really something to celebrate...

I had somehow missed the date. [there's a sound of a scratching pen as she takes note of this.]

Another year older, I suppose. Another year with friends. That's why I'd celebrate it.

Another year older would be your birthday though, wouldn't it? ... Not that it's particularly easy to keep track of that here.

[Voice]

[identity profile] loyalotter.livejournal.com 2010-12-23 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
That depends on when you got here and how far away from your birthday you were then. It's complicated. I suppose it's all a matter of how much you want to keep track of.

Fair enough. A question of how much it matters, especially when you consider how everyone is from a different time and place anyway.

[Voice] Not the wrong journal this time!

New Years? That's when people make resolutions, isn't it?

[Voice] \o/!

[identity profile] loyalotter.livejournal.com 2010-12-23 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Normally, yes. I'm not sure what mine might be this year.

[Voice]

[identity profile] heavenslament.livejournal.com 2010-12-23 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Neither do I, other than renew the ones I made before. Well, at least the ones that still count.

[Voice]

[identity profile] loyalotter.livejournal.com 2010-12-27 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose we could try to think of things we might want to continue. Like being kinder to everyone and keeping watch over those who need it. Though I do that on my own time normally.

[Voice]

[identity profile] heavenslament.livejournal.com 2010-12-27 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
As do I.

Hm. Maybe inspiration will come on the actual day.

Even if Luceti's New Year is different, I'll still be celebrating on January 1st.

[identity profile] loyalotter.livejournal.com 2010-12-23 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems to be the easiest course to me. There's a little less to keep track of that way.

[Harry is in his room, trying to brainstorm. It's a lot harder to find Christmas presents in a place with no money. He's hunched forward on the bed, looking thoughtful while Hedwig is perched on his shoulder. Should she choose to knock, he'll holler that his door's open.]

[Action]

[identity profile] loyalotter.livejournal.com 2010-12-23 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Augh, nerves! She does knock, only entering when he calls out. Conspicuously, she makes sure the door's shut and no one's in the hall listening and that might be a Muffliato spell before she approaches.] Harry? Do you have a minute?

[Action]

[identity profile] cruxofapotter.livejournal.com 2010-12-23 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[At that, Harry will put his notes away. Secret Christmas present stuff, you see.] Of course. What's up, Hermione?

[Action]

[identity profile] loyalotter.livejournal.com 2010-12-23 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[If there's a spare chair, she's taking it.] I was just thinking about Christmas this year and how nice it is with so many friends here.

[pause.] I think Ron's calmed down since we all... rowed over Malfoy.

[Nice segue into the right topic, Hermione.]

[Action]

[identity profile] cruxofapotter.livejournal.com 2010-12-23 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[There is, by the desk he doesn't use very much.] A little quieter than last year, but it'll be nice all the same.

[He bites his lip at that.] A lot, yeah.

I'm not sure if my friends and I will. It's hard to tell what ought to be celebrated at all these days.

[written]

[identity profile] loyalotter.livejournal.com 2010-12-29 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Or what you have time for.

I suppose you're right.

I suppose I'll be another person celebrating New Years at the end of the month.

[ And by celebrating, he means sitting alone in his apartment. ]

[ written ]

[identity profile] loyalotter.livejournal.com 2010-12-27 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe we ought to make a village party of it.

Maybe so. Not sure if it could boost morale, but any excuse for a party.

[ written ]

[identity profile] loyalotter.livejournal.com 2010-12-29 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it would be a good thing to do. I might see what every else thinks later on. And if not for New Years', perhaps after, when things have calmed down a bit.
