2nd New Gryffindor Note - voice / action

[ she turns on the feed, running a hand through her hair as she prepares what she wants to say. ]

It has come to my attention that there are quite a few different people here, more so, even, than when I was last here. I’m glad to see so many people can, and are, getting along in spite of it, or perhaps because of it. Really, we ought to be advocating equality, especially in a place like this, where we may only have each other to rely on when things are difficult.

In my homeworld, there are many different people as well, varying from humans to giants and even goblins and house-elves. There’s a stigma against all non- or part-humans, given by a lot of wizards who believe in blood purity. They believe that only wizards with pure blood are of any worth and treat the rest of us like we mean nothing to them. [ yes, she did just say “we.” go ahead. ask her about it. ] During my fourth year at wizarding school, I created a society called S.P.E.W., or the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, dedicated to promoting house-elves in the interest of freeing them and gaining them better rights in the Wizarding World. [ don’t even try to convince her that wasn’t a good idea. ]

Recently, I have heard a great deal about a group of people here in Luceti who have received as much ill-will as goblins, giants, and house-elves back at home. That is why I have decided to create a group much like S.P.E.W. called S.A.V.E., the Society Advocating Vampiric Education-

[ a shuffle and the sound of a door banging open interrupts her, followed by a male voice. ]

What the bloody hell are you trying to create now? S.P.E.W. didn't even work out! [ people who know the voice will recognize it as draco’s. ]

It worked out fine! [ there’s more shuffling as hermione stands up from the bed and basically kicks draco out of her room. ] Please, I’m trying to help! [ she huffs and sits back down. ]

As I was saying, I believe we can make a difference in the lives of those here in Luceti, both vampire and non. And honestly, we ought to be working together, not blaming one or two groups of people just so we can feel better about ourselves.

If anyone is interested in joining, all I ask is that you uphold the society’s desire for equality and kindness. I made badges- [ she holds one up. they’re pretty decently sized, round red buttons with gold lettering that says “S.A.V.E. for a brighter future for all.”

draco’s voice returns in the background, yelling through the door to be caught on the journal recording anyway. ]
WHY ARE THEY GRYFFINDOR COLORS?! [ which she is... ignoring. ]

If you’d like one, I’ll be by the fountain all day. Please, don’t let prejudices get in the way of true friendship and kindness. Not everyone falls under labels they’re placed under and not all of those under the negative labels really are as bad as they are made out to be.


[ after this, she can be found by the fountain, as she said. draco will likely be with her, so you may encounter them both. ]

I've heard of it, yes. I know it may seem a little strange, but once something like this starts, it won't stop until someone steps up.

I guess I've missed it. Mostly I just thought people were scared of vampires because, well, they drink blood.

Vampires seem to have a negative connotation from what I've observed. It's not fair to lump all of them into a group that should be hated and slandered just because they do drink blood. Some are actually rather kind.

Start off with that, then!

...Mm...How many vampires do we have here, anyway?

[identity profile] loyalotter.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
More than I know of, I'm sure. With the way people seem to be treating them, I don't think the kind ones are going to come out any time soon.

...Makes it hard both ways. It's not easy to just stop being scared. But there should be some how...

...Guess you'll see me by the fountain later. [ she smiles. well, she's not exactly sure about wearing a badge but pft. the point is to get people talking, isn't it? and wearing something unusual does that. ]

I know, but if people would just open their eyes on both sides, maybe Luceti could be less full of fear and more kindness and unity. We need more friends than enemies in a place like this.

Glad to hear it. I'll be here all day.
