There -- there seems to be quite a lot of... kissing happening... Mistletoe seems to have taken over the entirety of the City, hasn't it?

Has it occurred to anyone to simply avoid walking under the plant at the same time? Pass through doorways one after the other, not in tandem. It's the logical solution.

[ O hai. Oh, and I aplogize for my

Hermione.

[So fond, so exasperated.]

The mistletoe's sort of got this nasty habit of growing where you least expect it. Must be Luna's nargles at work, right?

Ginny! I'm so sorry I've been so terribly difficult to reach.

[ Poor girl. She sounds so very not alright. ]

Erm -- You know, I've come to believe that wouldn't be entirely too farfetched here... And there's no way of avoiding it, I suppose.

[7thborn]

No, not really. I've snogged about a half dozen by now, it's a bit of a chore, but-oh, Merlin, It's fine, honestly. Things happen, we get caught up in...

[After all, Ginny had holed herself up in the cabin two years ago, hadn't she? When everyone left.]

I mean, I just thought you knew you could always talk to me. If you needed to, of course, that's all.

[knowledgeably]

Don't your lips get chapped? There has to be a spell or something that could protect you, or your lips at the very least!

[ Wait -- ... Wait. What would give her the idea that it wasn't the case still? ]

Of course I did, and still do, Ginny. What -- [ Oh. ] Is this -- do you mean, about Ron? Or when I -- Erm -- resembled Professor Lupin rather strikingly? I just -- I haven't -- We should, sometime. Get together and talk.

Not all of them have been the intensely passionate sort, thanks. I'm not Lavender.

[Honestly, Hermione.]

Anything, really. Those things, sure, but if there's anything else-I know the City's a lot to adjust to, is all.

[ Immediate snort of disgust. Except... Lavender's memory. Well. Still. Hnfh. ]

It is, quite... The thing of it is, some things I'm not -- I'm not sure I'm ready to talk about it. Fear of the name, all that -- but... Confirming it aloud to someone else. It's quite complicated. I would like to talk, though. Some proper girl time?

voice | private;

[7thborn]

You know making it sound that way just makes me worried, right?

voice | private;

[knowledgeably]

Even with the ability to cloak our conversation, I don't entirely trust the privacy of a conversation over the network in the first place. It's nothing dire. Just... complicated. Very, very complicated.

Still not making it any better, Hermione. As much as I hate to say it, I do take after Mum sometimes.

[She sighs, exasperated and fond and, yes, a little concerned. But she does a better job than Molly at keeping it out of her tone.]

Alright, then. Some "proper girl time" with a talk and tea and in person. You're a very demanding best friend, Granger, but I'll make an exception for you.
