[Hermione is sitting outside doing a star chart. She seems to be very into her work when a cat waddles up to her. It has a present for her!]

Oh! Crookshanks! What's that in your mouth, hm? ... It's a S.P.E.W badge! Wherever did you get that?

[she laughs and cradles the badge in her hand. It's been a long time since she's seen it, and it brings ( Read more... )

This is going to sound a bit strange, but I found an old typewriter in one of the empty rooms and I'm wondering if it belonged to a resident. It doesn't have anyone's name on it but I wanted to make sure...

[ooc: the typewriter she's referring to is an artifact from Insolitus, previously owned by Claire Saunders]

[filtered from: First Gen, their allies/affiliates, any person who would use this information for ill, etc]While I was on the expedition, I learned a lot of things about this world. But there are still some unanswered questions. I've read through the journals but I would like to hear first-hand accounts on certain events ( Read more... )

I read back, and I saw that I arrived here in Paradisa nearly a year ago the last time. My stay wasn't very long but it does make me wonder... Why do people arrive in Paradisa when they do? I've seen times when many people show up around the same time, and sometimes they come in slowly over several months ( Read more... )

[Hermione is sitting by the window of her room, pondering] So that was a loss? It was certainly strange... I wonder why some losses only affect one person while others seem to affect a group of people?

In any case, I'm glad that it's over.

[Hermione has a tent set up; she's very grateful she still had her purse with her when she arrived in Paradisa. She steps outside to watch the leaves fall]

The leaves haven't stopped falling once. I've tried to clear a path but more leaves appear. Where are they coming from?

I suppose things such as birthdays have no real value here, do they? No matter how many you celebrate, you'll always return home at the exact time you left. I can't even imagine how many birthdays I might have celebrated here in the many times I've come and gone.

[Hermione is currently sitting on a cushion reading through a book. There are bookshelves lining the walls, and they are all stuffed with books as well. There are a few Dark Detectors on a shelf, and waving from picture frames are all of the members of Dumbledore's Army]This place is just like the Room of Requirements: it changes to suit your ( Read more... )

[although she didn't have them prepared in time, Hermione has still been studying and doing her best to train the owls and any other birds she can find. She's trying to take some books from her room to the library when a ghost intercepts her]

No, it's all right. I can manage. [the ghost lingers but since Hermione is insistent, it eventually floats ( Read more... )
