1st Gryffindor Note - [Text, then audio post]

[Have a really, REALLY shaky handwriting, as though whoever's writing this hurts quite a bit or is exceptionally scared... or hey, why not both. And there's an ink splotch on the top.]

.../looks like a diary. I can't tell.

[Another ink blot, but this one's apparently intentional.]

It's not like what Harry described Riddle's diary as being. I don't suppose it responds to voice commands. My hand hurts too much to write.

[Oh hey, it's swapped to voice here. Have a thumping sound and a soft 'oof.' She's fallen off the bed. And her voice next is really soft, as though she's not aware the thing is recording.]

My handbag. Bellatrix's wand. They're -

Gone.

That won't last. And it's not my fault I haven't had time to do as much research as I would like.

Why am I even talking to you after what you did.

Research all you'd like, you're still not going to know everything.

[Here he pauses though. She doesn't know that he disarmed Dumbledore, did she?] Which part?

[She grumbles something inaudible.]

Oh let me think, how about standing by and watching Bellatrix have her little fun!

[Hint #2 that something's wrong with Hermione.]

[Well it doesn't help that Draco already thinks there's something wrong with Hermione in general. But that...what the hell is she talking about?]

Perhaps you should stop wasting time making up stories and start coming up with answers.

I'm not making it up and you know it! Stop playing all innocent, Malfoy; it doesn't suit you!

[Wait... the wheels are starting to turn in her head. Didn't the guide mention something like this?]

Or are we on different times? I think I read something about time being different here.

Either that, or you've completely lost it. [Yeah, he's familiar with the concept too; he just didn't think he'd have to deal with it.]

Or this place really is one giant nightmare. Actually I'm sure of it; you're here now, after all.

[Have another growl.]

Shove off, Malfoy. You don't need to make it worse for the rest of us.

Do you even know what you're doing, Granger? Or are you just going to stand by and hope Saint Potter will come rescue you?

What I'm doing is learning as much as I can about this place. Other people are more informative than you are, Malfoy, so I'll thank you to not hold up my efforts.

And for the record, Harry, Ron, and I have always helped each other!

But how do you know that they're not giving you false information? Can you honestly say that you trust people you haven't even met face-to-face?

That's very touching, but in case you haven't noticed yet, they're not here. It's just you.

Better than the one person I have met. How do I know you aren't calling Bellatrix to come get me again?

Maybe I should stop talking to you and save myself the trouble.

What part of 'I have no idea what you're talking about' do you not understand? Really, it's not that difficult of a concept.

You could. But what then?

Fine, then. What do you know?

It'd save me a headache.

Dumbledore's dead. [Yep. That's it; maybe if he's blunt about it she won't ask more questions]

You shouldn't be so sensitive to things.

[Wait for it... yep, there's the shock]

That's it? That's all you remember?

Maybe you shouldn't be so cold.

That's all that's happened.

Wouldn't it be easier if you weren't easily offended?

It'd be easier if you weren't so quick to judge. And what are you talking about? It's been months since that happened, over half a year!

I'm not judging, I'm knowing the difference between what's good and what's not. [...hmm. Give him a second while he goes about thinking. The guide mentioned that people can be pulled from different points in time. Myuria and Estelle have both mentioned the same thing, and they were slightly more credible than some guide written by who the hell knows. If Granger was saying that Dumbledore's death was more than six months ago, that meant she was much further than he was. But that couldn't be right; he was running for his life after Snape killed Dumbledore and he was headed down toward that failure of a giant professor's home before he wound up here.

Why did it have to be Granger of all people?]

Get your facts straight, it just happened. Though it's probably been a little over a month by now.

And who are you to make such a judgment?

[You know, she's wondering the same thing.]

It did not just happen! You were watching what that demented woman did! Don't act like you didn't see it!

[No, you know what, screw this. He's just going to ignore the first part and in frustration he's just going to start yelling and throwing a Malfoy-tantrum.] I didn't see anything!

[If she hadn't just been tortured, she probably would have been a lot calmer about the whole thing. Here, have a deep breath so she doesn't scream at you.]

Okay, obviously we're dealing with the time thing unless you're attempting to mess with me as usual. For me, it's been over six months since Dumbledore's death. On the one hand, this presents a few problems. On the other...

...on the other?

[Her brisk nature returns momentarily.]

On the other, it means you don't remember what just happened to me and I'm fine with that.

...[Right about now, Draco's thinking she's just being insane.] Where are you right now?

[Oh that's pushing the envelope a bit, don't you think? Her voice returns to being slightly shaky.]

Why do you want to know?
