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. ]

[Hermione, Hermione, Hermione. What the hell is Draco going to do with you, woman? But like a good pseudo-bff, he's chosen to follow her to the fountain even if his mind's rattled right now. He's waiting outside of her room until she appears, and once she does with the box of badges, he'll follow her out of house 25 to the fountain.]

Can't believe you're doing this. [He's going to just grumble as they walk along.] Do you have any idea what you're doing, 'Mione?

[ he loves her anyway. she opens her bedroom door, only slightly surprised that he's still there, but then she reaches into the bag and hands over a badge. it's in green and silver. he ought to thank her. ]

I know perfectly well what I'm doing. I'm making it a better place for people. [ you're dating a vampire, draco. you should be happy for her. ] And this badge is in the right colors. They're all in different colors. The one I showed just happened to be Gryffindor colors.

[Yeeeah he really does. He blinks in surprise at his special badge though...he won't put it on but he'll at least hold onto it.]

Listen to me. You ought to know as well as I do that people here aren't like people at home. Besides, what if you attract the wrong vampires? Or even worse, you attract annoying people against the whole idea. What then?

Lurks aren't people. Lurks don't need saving. Lurks just need to get dusted. To save other people. Real people.

[and you know what, she says this so resolutely she might as well be throwing sharp objects to go with her words. She doesn't care if some vampires are different here. Not right now, not in this moment. She doesn't care if Angel has a soul or some of them have weirdly different powers or any of that hokum nonsense.

sue her, she's a little homesick]

[ Well considering Helios is trying to do something like this back in his world? Count him interested, very interested. He'll be making his way towards the fountain with a book in hand as he was in the library when the transmission went out. ]

What do any of us care about bloody bleeding bloodsucking VAMPIRES?!!?!?! How about protection of pirates? "APOPASS." Association for the Protection of Pirates and Scurvy Seadogs. Much more better!

[And along comes wandering one Grune! She won't exactly understand, well, most of what Hermione is trying to accomplish (despite living on a world with millennia of inter-species hatred and violence), but keep using words like "true friendship" and "kindness" and you'll definitely have a convert.]

I didn't say all vampires are good, just that not all of them are evil, either. I'll deal with them. [ pointed look :| ]

Not all of them are bad people, you know. And just because someone's different doesn't mean they're less 'real' than anyone else!

[ this is a hot topic for her... ]

I'm starting an organization for those who are considered 'different.' Would you like a complimentary badge to go with it?

Not all of them are. Some of them are actually very kind.

I've heard many more cases of pirates being unjust, though I suppose there could be an organization for that, too.

Yes. It's a good start to gaining respect and equality for everyone.

I agree with the sentiment of the idea. It's never fair to judge someone because of their race, blood purity, skin color, whatever. One should always get to know the individual before making any judgements. Just... be careful about this one. It's a touchy subject.
