{Private to Mrs. Tonks, Professor Snape, Mr. and Mrs. Potter, Tonks, Sirius, Harry, Ron and Luna.}

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

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.

[fyeahcannons]

[ Here's a pause that's basically: aaaarslkdf why are you eighteen and so adorable, Hermione? Careful tone in the voice that answers. ]

I'm sure you would eventually.

But I'm being careful. I promise.

[femininehermes]

{Because she's trying to trap you, Ron. In the holy bonds of matrimony! ...okay no. At least not yet. She would love to date you, though.}

Never.

You better. As much as I care about the people in this city, I...care about you more.

[fyeahcannons]

[ But Hermione he's old. :| AND ANYWAY HE'S OH-SO WARY OF THIS SITUATION girl you don't even know. ]

Ah, well... Thanks. I appreciate it.

Not the bit about never forgiving me, that's a bit upsetting, but the caring bit.

I'll be fine.

[femininehermes]

{He's still Ron. HE NEEDS GUIDANCE.}

I don't even want to think about you dying. {Her voice is tight with tension.} I hope you're better off than I was. Avoid the explosions.

[fyeahcannons]

Yeah, yeah. No worries, Hermione. I'm definitely not going to die.

Just... Stay put, yeah? You're sure you're safe where you are?

[femininehermes]

I am. Mrs. Tonks took care of me.

If things get out of control, come to the church. It's...a safe house of sorts.

[fyeahcannons]

Will do.

I'll see you later.

[femininehermes]

I'll look for you.

[fyeahcannons]

What? Not out in that mess, I hope.

[femininehermes]

Not right away.

[fyeahcannons]

Not at all! You just mentioned you hadn't fared all that well!

If it's that bloody important, I'll just come meet you. You shouldn't do anything silly trying to look out for me, you know.

[femininehermes]

But it was easily fixed! I'm not going to just sit around while you're risking your life, Ronald.

{A long sigh.}

It's not important. {It just feels awkward for her to sit around while he's fighting. They're supposed to fight together.}
