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.

So other people have these things, too?

New...? I've never heard of Luceti. Is that what this place is called?

[She pauses for a moment.] And thank you. I'll be sure to read it all.

Yeah, everyone in Luceti has both the journal and the wings. Speaking of which, they probably hurt a lot. I can come and give you hand if you'd like.

And yeah, Luceti is what it's called.

I'm Rinoa Heartilly by the way.

[Wings...? She hadn't even noticed those yet... ahaha no wonder she hurts all over still.]

All right. I'd appreciate that.

[Hesitation here.]

Hermione Granger.

It's nice to meet you despite the circumstances Hermione. Can you describe where you are right now?

It looks like an apartment. [Have a general description and a soft hiss as she gets up and moves to look around outside.]

Or should I try to find you?

No, that's okay, just stay where you are. You're probably in one of the community buildings. What's the number on your door?

Okay... Um [Have a location here]

Moving hurts, but I'll let you in if I can.

Okay, I'm on my way. Just hold tight for now.

[And off she goes.]

All right. I will.

[And give her about twenty minutes since she was already in the area, and she'll be knocking on the door before opening it a little to peak in.]

Hello. Sorry to barge in. I didn't think you'd want to move around much.

[That's all right; Hermione's still exhausted. She offers a smile when she recognises Rinoa.]

It's all right. I didn't really. This place - Luceti it's called? - is very different from what I'm used to.

It's different from what everyone's used to when they first arrive.

[She walks into the room and towards Hermione, and it's now that Hermione might notice that there's a dog walking behind Rinoa.]

Would you like me to cast Curaga on your wings? It won't take all the pain away, but it can make it better enough for you to move around.

I suppose it would be. It is a strange place.

[She does indeed and it reminds her a bit of Sirius, which is a sad point, but at least Harry's not here to see it. She's more of a cat person, herself, but she smiles at the dog all the same.]

I've never heard of Curaga, but judging by the name, it sounds like a healing spell. I don't know how much it'll help, but... anything to lessen the pain would be nice. I'd do it myself, but I don't have my wand with me.

[The moment she gets the okay, she begins casting. No wand needed here. Of course, when she's done only a few seconds later, she'll be giving her a curious look.]

You're wand?

[Well that feels better. Hermione tries out a few of her limbs, including the new pale green wings. She's still incredibly sore from Bellatrix's 'fun time' but at least she's sure she can walk around a bit better now.]

Thank you. That's much better. [Have a small smile.]

Yes, my wand. That's how I cast magic, but it's obviously not the same kind as yours. I doubt my wand would be here, but even Bellatrix's wand would be useful, much as I hate it.

Well, you'll have to try searching through the shops. I'm sure it's possible for you to find it. You'll probably have to go there anyway if you want your clothes returned, which I'm sure you do.

[Have a smile from Rin, and a dog sniffing you before deciding to give your hand a little lick. See, she's friendly.]

[Hermione smiles in return and scratches the dog's ears gently.]

That's the second mention of the shops. So that's the first place I'll go once I'm not quite as sore and then the library. I have a lot of research to do.

Well, research is fine, just make sure to get to know everyone around here too. It comes in handy.

[Hermione smiles at that, still looking down at the dog.]

People don't always like me because I'm such a bookworm, but I'll try.

[The dog likes that scratching, and is starting to lean into Hermione's hand.]

Oh, I'm sure you'll find a few other bookworms around here, just realize that in a place like this, it's best to have some ally's. And as far as I'm concerned, you've managed find your first already.

[oh hey... that whole friends and allies thing makes Hermione really smile. She treasures her friends.]

Friends and allies, then. I like that.

So have you been here for very long?

[As does Rin.]

I've been here for over a year now. It makes me feel like I've been here too long now actually.

[Her smile falters now as she thinks about Harry and Ron at home without her.]

I can't imagine being here for that long. There's so much I have to do at home.

Listen, I don't know all the details, but from what I can tell from my experience here, if you get sent home, you end up back in the exact same point time where you left. It's never happened to me specifically, but I know a couple people who it has happened to.

[And she looks up sharply at that. Such a relief to hear, really.]

Really? That's really comforting to hear since we've got so much to do and it's all really important.
