[As per usual, Draco was casually flipping through the journals to see who he could irritate today. He wasn't paying much mind, really, considering. It was that time for New Feathers, but he wasn't holding his breath. Knowing his luck, everyone would stay gone anyway.

However, he thinks he hears his name being spoken by a very familiar voice. It's a strange, almost foreign sound, and he has to stare at his journal for a few moments to make sure he wasn't just hallucinating.

The last time she had appeared, she hadn't remembered anything. He wasn't going to go racing into it this time, absolutely not.]

...Granger? [It's a test, if anything.]

[Voice] loyalotter November 8 2011, 04:51:50 UTC

[ and there's one of the few voices that could put her at ease, oddly enough. her voice softens when she responds. she's happy to hear from him. ]

I was wondering when I'd hear from you.

[Voice] hisdarkmark November 8 2011, 05:15:29 UTC

Looking for me, were you? [Sorry Hermione, he's still not exactly warming up to you yet. He's determined to be absolutely sure before he does something foolish.] Why?

[Voice] loyalotter November 8 2011, 05:18:50 UTC

Why wouldn't I? [ oh come on, is she going to have to prove herself?

she sighs heavily. ] Fine, if you don't believe me, ask me something.

[Voice] hisdarkmark November 8 2011, 05:27:08 UTC

...anything? [He ponders for a moment, trying to think of the one thing she would only know if she were his preferred version of Hermione Jean Granger.]

...my Patronus. What is it, and what is its name?

[Voice] loyalotter November 8 2011, 05:33:59 UTC

Of course.

[ she does smile on the other end. ] He's a lovely coyote named Padfoot. [ beat. better go all out. it'll make him feel better. ] And mine's an otter named Terri.

[Voice] hisdarkmark November 8 2011, 05:38:09 UTC

...[And that did it. There's suddenly a slight smile on his face and his tone is much lighter than it was.]

You're really back this time. You're...actually back.

[Voice] loyalotter November 8 2011, 06:20:34 UTC

[ that confirms it. ] So I was here another time...

[Voice] hisdarkmark November 8 2011, 06:22:49 UTC

Unfortunately, yes. [Yeah, someone's not too happy about that.]

Where are you?

[Voice] loyalotter November 8 2011, 06:46:05 UTC

[ she'll just... ignore that for now. ]

Close to the center of the village. And without my wand... again. [ she's so starting to hate this. ]

[Voice] hisdarkmark November 8 2011, 06:49:22 UTC

...I'm still at 25 whenever you make it out this far. We'll look for your wand later when you're resettled. [He's already still on the look-out for Caroline's ring. May as well add that on top of everything.]

[Voice] loyalotter November 8 2011, 06:51:06 UTC

I'll be there soon.

[ and she will be. running to that house is better than going to 26 and being alone. it's only a few minutes before she's knocking on the door. ]

[Voice -> Action] hisdarkmark November 8 2011, 07:00:09 UTC

You better.

[Woman, it's cold. It's so very cold, and the snow is stupid, and it's pretty evident just how Draco feels about all of it when he answers the door and glares at the weather. However when his gaze lands on the girl, he only steps aside and waits for her to come in, shutting the door behind them without saying a word.]

[Action] loyalotter November 8 2011, 07:05:20 UTC

[ by this point, she's darted into an empty building and gotten dressed. it's not... a very good outfit - in fact, she rather hates it and having to wear it - but it beats the new feather outfit in this weather. being hunched over it when she's standing outside at first probably helps shield the black dress from his scrutiny. ]

Don't ask about the outfit. [ she says that as soon as he opens the door. ] I'll explain later.

[ she'd rather not talk about gringotts and horcruxes in the open like this. but she steps inside and waits for him to lead her onward. ]

[Action] hisdarkmark November 8 2011, 07:11:30 UTC

...[He's just going to stare for a minute. There's something about that dress...

....give him a few more moments of just staring.]

...Hermione, is that--[But he stops himself. He actually respects her enough now to obey her wishes, shutting up and motioning for her to follow him into the kitchen.] Are you still a true Brit and prefer tea, or will you settle for coffee?

[Action] loyalotter November 8 2011, 07:21:29 UTC

[ she just gives him a look and follows carefully. she hates this dress so much. ]

I don't care as long as it's warm.

[ if she'd had her wand, she'd conjure up a jar of fire for warmth, but no, the malnosso had to cheat her of that again. the loss of harry, ron, and nine months is hitting her harder with each passing minute. ]

Are we alone?
