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.

[And that earns a smile.] Back home, my two best friends and I were trying to defeat the master of the Dark Arts, the most evil wizard ever to exist. We were... captured by his followers and I was tortured for information. Even with that, even knowing we could die ourselves, it's still worth it to try to save even one more life.

Wow, that's awfully hardcore of you. [Definitely impressed.]

[If only Buffy knew exactly what magical torture entails.]

I didn't have a choice. But that's what I have to do when I return home. I have to help finish our mission.

That reminds me how I don't really have a mission to go back home to--the last one had that last-big-fight feel too it.

That's good, though, isn't it? When you do return home, you can make sure no one else is threatened.

That's the plan. [She smiles, quietly.]

[Hermione returns the smile.] Sounds like you've got an important job as well. I'm sure it'll turn out all right.

That seems to be a trend, around here. Important jobs. Everyone here seems to be important in some way, back where they're from. Champions and heroes and starship captains.

It sounds like we all have a reason to find our way back home. And if we're important at home, then we should all be able to stop these Malnosso and ensure our return.

...In a way, our mission here has become what our missions at home were.

Makes a girl wonder: why us?

I don't know, but I intend to find out.
