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.

[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?

[For Draco? No not really.]

So I know where to avoid, of course.

How do I know you won't just barge in?

I don't want to tell you anyway.

Because I'm too busy doing my own research to bother trying to find you.

[She's not really sure she believes that.]

...How long have you been here?

[There a thoughtful noise on his part. Why were they even having discussion anyway? Civil, almost.] Almost two months.

[She's wondering the same thing, especially after what she just went through.]

That's so strange to think about. I just saw you yesterday. Of course, if this time travel is true, then it wasn't you you, but still it was you.

[Probably because somewhere deep down they recognize it's slightly helpful to have somebody familiar around. Not that either of them would admit it, and they both have people they'd rather be around] Yes well. That me was probably a fake because I've been here since the middle of July.

[She starts a little at that.]

It was July for you?

No, it was July here. Back there it was the end of the school year.

So June, then.

[This next part is muttered, almost to herself rather than anyone else.] I really need to make a trip to the library...

[He still hears it though and this part is probably said a lot faster than it should be.] Not now you don't.

[Caught off-guard and a little unnerved, though trying not to show it.]

And why shouldn't I?

Because I'm busy. [He's pretty sure this isn't going to really work, but he's currently in the library and doesn't feel like facing her like this]

Busy? What could you possibly-

[Oh hey there connection.]

Oh come off it. A library has to be big enough for the both of us to walk in and avoid each other.
