It's...my birthday today.

Strange.

{She doesn't sound very enthusiastic.}

I suppose I'm nineteen. I feel much older, though. {Releasing a soft sigh, she moves onto a new topic.} Is it possible to age here? I've...never noticed anyone celebrating birthdays. Then again, I haven't been here long.

{There is a long, thoughtful pause before she ( Read more... )

{Private to Sirius.}

Can we talk? Do you have time?

{/}

{Private to James and Lily Potter.}

I'm sorry. I haven't introduced myself. My name is Hermione Granger and Harry...is my best friend. {Her face falls a little when she talks about him, but she doesn't allow herself to get too down.} I need to talk to both of you - if you don't mind ( Read more... )

{Hermione is pacing back and forth in front of her communicator. As she turns, it's obvious that she is worrying her lower lip. Though, despite the expression of agitation, she does look better rested.}

DA members, {Yes, you remember who you are.} I know you might think I'm worrying too much, but so be it. Keep practicing. Don't let yourself ( Read more... )

{Private to Ron.}

I need to talk to you about something. It's important. Where can I meet you?

{/}

Being here isn't very different from being in the Muggle world. I know it must be hard for some of you to adapt. If you need help, I don't mind talking to you over the feed or meeting you in person. {Within reason, of course.}

Who else is ( Read more... )

{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 ( Read more... )

{The video turns on and shows...no one. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a hand appears and pulls the device closer. Hermione's face comes into view and she looks...uncomfortable.}

How did I end up on the ground? {She places the communicator in her lap and examines it at a better angle. (Anyone and everyone is welcome to notice what she is ( Read more... )

{Hermione turns on the video function, suppressing a cough against a handkerchief. There is a steaming cup of something sitting in front of her, but she looks flustered.}

I guess my parents had a point. I do need to take time to...slow down. {She rubs her brow.} I think I'm getting sick. Is there a physician anywhere in the city? If so, can ( Read more... )

The more I read about this place, the more questions I have. But there's no one to answer them. {And this frustrates her. But it's not a new feeling. She still has no clue where to look for the remaining Horcruxes - not that that matters at the moment.} Would anyone be willing to give me a tour of the city? I'm afraid I might get lost on my ( Read more... )

{The video turns on and shows Hermione sitting perfectly still on a bench. Outside. There is a book open in her lap and she seems to be leisurely reading. However, above, around, beneath her, pigeons and rats are fighting to get closer. They seem to be bouncing off of a barrier of some sort, though.}

He was right. {She makes a mark in her ( Read more... )

Does anyone possess a map of this city? Where is it in relation to England? {Hermione's voice is strict and matter-of-fact.} Surely there is some record of when it was established. I refuse to believe it just sprouted out of the ground!

{Logic is her best friend and it is keeping her, more or less, sane.}I need to find a Library. Once I've ( Read more... )
