I brought my bag with me. {Her voice is shaking imperceptibly.} Harry and Ron will know what I mean, but I thought everyone else might find it useful too. I've put an Undetectable Extension Charm on it and, well, let's just say I put it to good

You put it to good use?

[ Luna's eyebrows go up. She's not sure, but she thinks she has the gist of it. With a good Extension charm, one could certainly... ]

You're brilliant, you know. I know we've had... disagreements, but - well - I thought I should tell you.

[ She smiles. It’s a little strained, though, considering the circumstances. Softly, she asks one thing. ]

Are you all right?

Meaning I filled it with books, potion's ingredients, potions, containers and a few left-over wands.

[Not to mention a certain sword at one point.]

Luna, you don't have to say that. [She blushes and looks down.] Thank you.

[Frowning, she glances down at one of her arms.]

For the moment. How about you?

I wish I could have a purse like that. I'm always losing my things, you know, it would be nice to have a few extras on hand.

[ Of course she knows it's for far more important things than mere ingredients, potions and such... but it's habit now, not to mention such things even on the Network. You never who was listening. ]

You're very welcome. [ She smiles. ] It's true, after all. Why shouldn't I say it?

[ Luna catches that small glance, but doesn't ask. ]

Fine. For the moment. These riots are quite intense. It almost makes me miss the mad rats and pigeons.

I wouldn't mind performing the Charm on your purse, Luna.

{Hermione is tentative of that as well, but sometimes there is no other way to contact everyone.}

It's still nice.

...mad rats and pigeons?

[purmoncul]

Not sure what you mean, but alright.

Some of us are holed up in a church at [location of Nill's church], so if you need a safe place, come here. There's no need for you to be out in all this.

It'll be alright, Hermione. People are frightened, but they're not targeting us specifically.

[andromynous]

As Sirius says. You be safe as well, Hermione.

[Her gaze flickers off the screen for a moment, back down to the pew in front of her.]

[femininehermes]

Thank you, Mrs. - [She really doesn't know what else to call her. But it probably evokes bad memories.] I'll do my best.

[femininehermes]

I can show you better in person.

[She closes her eyes.] I'm on my way there.

...you're right. [Her voice weakens.] Be careful, alright?

[fyeahcannons]

Chin up, darling. [ And, er. Small pause. ]

You're somewhere safe, yeah?

[femininehermes]

Relatively. What about you? {That "darling" isn't unnoticed. Her heart skipped a beat.}

[fyeahcannons]

I'm fine. Taking a breather before I head back out.

Crowd control, you know. Nothing serious.

[femininehermes]

You better not get yourself killed. I would never forgive you.
