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.

[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.

I wouldn't be so certain about that. Besides, I'm researching something that's supposedly from our world and I have no idea where they would hold information. It's not as if the library is separated into sections for each planet, so I have to thoroughly look.

[There's another pause there and then-] ...I can't believe I just sounded like you. That's it, I have to leave as soon as possible.

[Have an incredulous snort.]

Maybe it'll do you some good. The library's a wonderful place to be, you know.

What are you researching? I might be able to answer your question.

[...Did she really just offer him help?]

[More to himself than her] Yeah, you would think so, insufferable know-it-all.

[...well wait hold on. You're offering to share information, Granger? Why would you do that.]

It's something I've never heard of. Why would you know?

[She heard that, but she's not answering it right now.]

Because I know a lot of things people from our world don't.

[Abrupt subject change get.] You can walk, can't you?

[ahahahahahaha about that.]

W-well I'll be able to shortly.

Figure out how to and then come here. I'd rather not speak about it over the network.

Oh and Granger? Don't make me wait, I don't have time. [In which case if you wouldn't mind continuing, we can switch this thread to an action instead of voice and assume it's after she's met with Rinoa and Estelle?]

[Damnit, Malfoy; you arse.]

It's not a matter of figuring out how or I'd have been there by now.

Fine; if you're so impatient, I'll be there in a few minutes.

Fair enough. [And this is Draco slamming his journal shut in Hermione's face. Haha Granger. Haha.

But no in all seriousness, whenever Hermione finds the library, Draco will be sitting outside of it leaning against the building. He's dressed in his usual white shirt and dark pants, Slytherin-tie loosely around his neck and what's this? His left arm's in a sling. Look familiar? He's not exactly looking too pleased with the prospect of seeing her, if the occasional irritated flap of his crimson wings says as much, but if it will get him answers...temporarily he'll swallow his pride and just hex her later to feel better.]

[Repeat: ARSE.

Good luck on the hexing h- oh right, she's wandless. What was she thinking going to meet him? But there's no time for this now and if she can find her wand soon, or even Bellatrix's, she'll be happy. Maybe he'll have a few answers for her. So, with a lot of care, and still looking as though she's seen better days - stupid curse of torture! - Hermione makes her way down to the library. She's dressed in Muggle clothes, the ones she's been wearing while they traveled, and her pale green wings twitch slightly as she moves. It's not hard to find Malfoy and she stops a good distance away, sizing him up.]

Do you want to look for whatever it is together inside or will discussing out here work?
