12th Gryffindor Note (Action first / later written)

[loyalotter]

((OOC: PLEASE READ. The first action part is for Draco, Raine, and Harry in that order. After she gets home and talks to Harry, housemates are free to reply and then anyone who's heard she's back and wants to come visit her is free to reply. But please wait for those three first. Thanks!  Have at now, but keep in mind that she is home so all action

Hermione! I'm glad to hear from you. Do you need any help?

[Written]

[loyalotter]

Terra... I'm at home now. Thank you. I should be fine.

[Her handwriting still looks a little shaky, though.]

[Written]

[esper_flight]

Oh, good. But still, if you need anything, I really don't mind running it over to you.

[Written]

[loyalotter]

[There are a couple of ink blotches here, like she tried to write something and changed her mind.]

I don't think I can go out any time soon, but... I wouldn't mind someone to talk to. [If Terra isn't busy, of course.]

[Written]

[esper_flight]

Then I can be there shortly. It's no trouble.

[Written]

[loyalotter]

If you're sure... I'll be downstairs.

[Written/Action]

[esper_flight]

I am...and I'll be over, soon.

[There's a knock on the door a little while later.]

[Action]

[loyalotter]

[Hermione closes the journal and once she hears the knock, she walks over to open it.]

Hello, Terra. [She looks worn, but there's a smile on her face as she pulls the door open enough for Terra to come inside.] Would you like anything while you're here?

[Action]

[esper_flight]

[Terra instantly smiles back, though practically radiates worry. She remembers well how worn she was upon returning, and that seems to be a common thing. At the question, she pauses.]

Maybe some tea? Though I can get it, if you tell me where. I wouldn't want to strain you after you just returned.

[Action]

[loyalotter]

[Hermione understands that one, too. But she points to the kitchen and shuts the door behind Terra.]

Up in the cabinets in the kitchen. Bottom shelf. I should be able to make the bluebell flames in a jar again to heat the water for you. That's no trouble at all.

[Action]

[esper_flight]

Okay, then.

[Terra heads toward the kitchen, retrieving the tea and some cups. She glances back after pouring some water into a kettle.]

You haven't missed too much, school-wise. I can drop off the assignments after school tomorrow and pick them up whenever you wish.

[Action]

[loyalotter]

[Hermione looks relieved at that as she sits down.]

I would love that. Harry and Ron would always do that for me at home, but Ron's gone and I don't think Harry would want me to be doing homework while I'm resting now. I've just gotten so bored being cooped up again.

[Action]

[esper_flight]

[She nods, sympathetic.]

Oh, I understand. I couldn't do much when I was returned, but...I couldn't just sit there and rest all the time. I hope you won't have to be cooped up for too long. At least it's relatively quiet, now? You won't have to recuperate during experiment madness.

[Action]

[loyalotter]

And I can't abide getting behind in classes. [Just ask Harry.]

I'm so glad I missed the experiment. It sounded terrible, though the trade-off wasn't much better. But not having to deal with both was nice.

[Action]

[esper_flight]

[She pauses, thoughtful.]

Being manipulated like that was terrible, but...not quite the experiment itself. The fountain wine made for an odd day, though. I don't know if it makes any sense, but having feelings for someone was...nice, even though it wasn't real.

[Action]

[loyalotter]

I understand. [She smiles a little at that. It makes her miss Ron even more.] It is nice to know someone cares for you and you for them. [She looks a little wistful.]
