14th Gryffindor Note - [Action]

[loyalotter]

[So it's been a month that Hermione hasn't really come out of her room aside from school and eating. But it's been obvious that she's been preoccupied with something this entire time. However, when asked she's simply brushed it off as nothing. Or she's working on a spell. Or something similar. But she wouldn't give a straight answer and waved off

[Harry comes stumbling out of his room at the sound of her yelling. Something's obviously happened, and he's not sure what that means.]

What did you do, Hermione?

[loyalotter]

[She wheels around, feeling slightly guilty that she's making everyone antsy, but she's just so excited. This is probably on par with her excitement in second year when she woke up from being Petrified to find out her best friends had figured it all out. She'd been jumping up and down then, and she is practically doing so now.]

I figured out how to translate spells across different types of magic. I've managed to use wind magic as a primitive sort of Disarming Charm.

[cruxofapotter]

[Harry's just antsy by default. Whatever she's figured out, Harry knows he's about to be dragged into something he doesn't entirely understand. Right now, he's just blown away.]

Er... how did you do that?

[loyalotter]

[but she explains it every time! Or... er... tries to anyway... sometimes...]

That's what I've been doing all month up in my room. I just wondered if other magics could be changed, manipulated, using the laws of our own magic. So I've been working on how to change the casting of elemental magic so that it would resemble common spells, like the Disarming Charm or the Levitation Charm. I've got the first one figured out for wind and the second mostly works. Now I want to try it with other elements. It's just very different from our own style.

[She pauses for a breath and looks directly at him.] I think if we can really master this, it would be a good thing to teach other people. We could use it for protection, self-defense.

[But this leads to things like S.P.E.W. and sitting in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom for a month.]

So you're re-inventing spells in order to make other people able to do the stuff we can with magic? [Harry feels incredibly, incredibly dumb at this realization.]

Sort of like the DA back in school, you mean? [He could get behind that.]

[loyalotter]

[But those were good and useful!]

Exactly! [And she grins wider now that he's latched on.]

Come on, let me show you! [Brb dragging him into the kitchen where there's enough space.]

[cruxofapotter]

[True!]

Uh, sure. [Getting dragged into the kitchen!]

[loyalotter]

[She positions him somewhere in the middle of the room and then waves her wand around so nothing's near them.]

Hold my wand for a minute. [Hopefully he'll take it, and she can start concentrating on the wind magic.]
