003 ➴ return [voice/action]

[voicesreason]

[Early on Thursday morning there’s a crash that finds a certain bushy haired young woman in the wood near house twenty-six. Although slightly dirtier than normal, nothing seems to be out of place with her, thankfully. Disorientated at the abrupt return as well as the first mallynapping she remembers, well, it takes Hermione several minutes to

[Oh, this can be taken, but as Hermione was trying to focus on the book she moves with a start. Snapping the book closed she shook her head.]

[Still trying to cover this up.]

Nothing. Just being silly is all.

[That earns a raised brow as she slips it back in its place. Oh, Lucy.]

Of course not. I just found it was a topic I wasn't particularly interested in at the moment.

[Lucy you're killing her. A look of surprise can't help but pass her features, but she catches herself. Might as well try--]

Plants, I had been reading them here before recently. I had thought they might be interesting to continue today, but I just couldn't concentrate on it.

Well, I don't like them nearly as much as a friend of mine but I've been studying them for years. [ An uneasy smile, just for you Lucy.] It sounds wonderful, perhaps just what the place needs.

You can learn plenty about them from books, you know, although what we studied was for class. Sorry, Narnia? I can't say I've heard of a place by that name.

[Lucy, how do you manage to make her give a soft smile.] It's a pleasure to meet you, Lucy. I'm Hermione.

It was technically a herbology class, but we did study plants as well.

[More than Susan at least!]

[Hermione will have to give a slightly surprised look at that. Well, it was Ron after all and the others were missing.]

Was he? He hadn't been awake this morning when I went to the house so I haven't had the chance.

[Hermione had to raise a brow at that.]

I did, actually. One of the others told you about Hogwarts, then?

[Well, that's when Susan strays away from Narnia and all that! She could have been a pleasant girl before, but never as sweet as Lucy.]

Really? Well, he was alone in the house, but that is a bit surprising.

You must talk to Ron often, then. [Which sort of amuses her since when did Ron talk to little girls...]

[Other things indeed, alas, we all grow up.]

Just a bit, I suppose. Ron's never been the sort to be so open with his worries.
