[Hermione was sitting on the bench of a piano in a strangely decoreted room. Most, if not all, of the walls seemed to have giant canvas paintings depicting tall cloaked individuals with elaborate gowns and robes- like something off a magical illustration. The carpet was deep red, the stone walls visible beyond the white and gold held a welcoming

[ Minako nods, somewhat of a grin on her face - she seems rather happy and excited. ]

That's right! It seems they really went all-out with this place, huh?

[knowledgephilia]

In my experience, this is never exactly a good thing. Hopefully their intentions are good.

Come on, it could just be that they decided to be nice to us for once after some other bad stuff-- like the dreams and all!

Doesn't that sound likely enough?

[ video ]

[knowledgephilia]

You're very optimistic. I should try that more often.

[ video ]

[reloved]

There isn't any reason to not be optimistic, right?

[ She smiles, shaking her head a little. ] What's the worst that could happen?

[ video ]

[knowledgephilia]

[Hermione thinks you're a little weird but she won't answer.]

I'm sure there's enough but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I don't think we've met.

[reloved]

Sure, they've done bad things before.. But this is different, totally different!

And I'm Minako! Nice to meet you! I'm also known as the goddess of love and beauty, ahaha!

[ video ]

[knowledgephilia]

The goddess of love and beauty? [She blinked. Physically speaking, she believed it. The girl was very pretty.] That's incredibly, you seem very human.

I'm Hermione, Hermione Granger. It's a pleasure to meet you, goddess.

[ Another person who actually believes her (well, it's not an outright lie, she's Venus, after all. And she even believes it herself.) ]

Ahaha, it's only a kind thing for a goddess to be like a human around their devotees, right? It's a matter of sympatizing!

And the same goes out to you! Don't worry, I'm not a scary goddess or anything of the like at all!

[ video ]

[knowledgephilia]

That's a relief. [And she giggled a bit.]

Goddess, may I ask you something? Have your powers been taken? Is that possible in this world?

[ video ]

[reloved]

Ah, that's-- [ She seems to be at a loss for words for a moment, but then quickly recovers. ]

That's right, that's right! They took all of my powers when I came here since I would be too powerful otherwise.. I can only help people out with advice in these dark times, I suppose.

[ Yes, that might be a melodramatic sigh just there. ]

[ video ]

[knowledgephilia]

[And Hermione is buying it.]

That must be difficult. I'm sorry to hear that, Goddess.

[ video ]

[reloved]

Oh, it's.. fine.. [ More melodramatics. She's going all-out now someone finally believes her, okay.. ]

It's tough to get through, but if everyone is working hard to live normally here, I will try my very best as well!

[ video ]

[knowledgephilia]

That's the best we can do in a situation like this. Perhaps there is a way to gain your abilities back.

[And she hesitates.]

Y-You see, I'm a witch. I can still do magic without a problem.

[ video ]

[reloved]

A witch..? [ She raises her eyebrows a little, almost curiously. She does seem to believe it though. ] What sort of magic can you use?

[ video ]

[knowledgephilia]

Umm... white magic I suppose?
