[The audio to the journal turns on and, albeit a New Feather, the dictation that comes across is clear, if the voice accompanying shaken up. She tries to keep it under wraps, but the slight, shrill sound can be heard during the breaks of her speech.]

Did it actually just turn on--? Odd. [A brief pause to gather her wits before speaking.]

I can only ( Read more... )

[It's been far too long since he heard that voice. Okay, so maybe not that long, but it's still too long. He scrambles to get the journal open with excitement.]

Hermione! We're both still here!

[Voice] voicesreason May 5 2011, 02:45:08 UTC

Harry!

[She's relieved to hear his voice, but before she lets other questions flood she has to question the last sentence.]

Wait-- still here? What on Earth do you mean?

[Voice] cruxofapotter May 5 2011, 02:47:45 UTC

[Uh oh. This is going to get complicated.]

Hermione, do you remember anything about being in a place called Luceti?

[Voice] voicesreason May 5 2011, 03:01:13 UTC

[Very complicated.]

Luceti? [Hermione repeated it carefully, brows furrowing.] I can't say I've ever heard of a place by that name. Why?

[Voice] cruxofapotter May 5 2011, 03:06:06 UTC

You were here before, but you left. [An awkward pause. He's not sure how to go into detail about it.] Whether you remember or not, you're here again. It's a place that pulls all sort of people into it from any kind of place in time. Sometimes they manage to get out but... then they come back without remembering that they were here.

[Voice] voicesreason May 5 2011, 03:32:09 UTC

[You were here before, but you left. That part had to sink in and by the time it did she just barely had opened her mouth when he began again.]

[And now? She was floored speechless as she tried to wrap her head around the idea.]

That's impossible. If this place--Luceti-- can do such a thing like that than if I were here before why wouldn't I remember it? That doesn't make any sense.

[Voice] cruxofapotter May 5 2011, 03:35:10 UTC

We... well, no one's quite figured that out yet. [As usual, they were hoping she'd have the answers. Harry's accepted it, but he knows that won't be the same for the other two.] Ron's been here twice, and he doesn't remember the first time he was here either.

[Voice] voicesreason May 5 2011, 03:49:32 UTC

[Hermione's frowning, customary brow furrow in place. Somehow she didn't think this conversation would be any easier if she saw Harry face to face. It was concerning and, in natural Hermione fashion, first instinct was to try and figure out everything possible... Unfortunately, that would likely mean from ground zero.]

I suppose this would be my second time as well, then, and I don't remember either. [Skeptical. Pursing her lips.] You do realize how utterly absurd that sounds, Harry? Not that anything about this isn't.

[Wings, for example, were quite absurd.]

[Voice] cruxofapotter May 5 2011, 03:53:03 UTC

As far as I know, yeah. Even if you don't remember, it's still good to have you back. [He sighs.] I'm only getting started! I haven't gotten to the experiments and all that nonsense.

We should probably get you home first. Er, to the house, I mean.

[Voice] voicesreason May 5 2011, 04:03:34 UTC

[She'd comment on the good to be back, but she's unsure of how truly "good" it was. Albeit, she'd never want to abandon either of the boys.]

Wait a minute, experiments? Harry, you can't go around saying something like that and then try and change the topic. What sort of experiments?

[But she does pause. Catching up with rationality.]

How long has it been? I must have been here before for quite some time from the sounds, but how long have you been here?

[Voice] cruxofapotter May 5 2011, 04:09:38 UTC

[He knows she wouldn't. It was probably for the best that she went home, but he missed her all the same.]

Like I said, we should probably get you to the house. There's a lot to explain and Raine has a guide for that sort of thing. We're being kept in this place by the Malnosso, and every month or so they put us under some strange experiment or another. It's awful.

[He stops to think again.] It's been almost two months since you left. Before then, you were here for almost a year and a half. You were the second to arrive after D- [Wait, she doesn't remember that either.] Malfoy and you beat me by a few weeks.

[Voice] voicesreason May 5 2011, 04:33:58 UTC

[It feels strange hearing Harry talk about everything so normally and easily. She was sure just two months ago, apparently, she must have as well. For now she was swimming in the details he was giving her and feeling at a complete lose in the sense of it all.]

I don't suppose you can direct me to where the house is, then? I'm near a lake, but that's about as far as I can tell. [Even if he said they needed to, she considers.] Does the guide explain the types of experiments Luceti has done?

[She finds it important to know, but the time frame. It wasn't completely impossible, she knew about meddling with time. And even other planes, but this was all still completely left field.] That's-- That's quite the long time.

[There's nothing she feels adequate enough to say for the revelation. For once, speechless.]

[Voice] cruxofapotter May 5 2011, 11:52:58 UTC

[He's pretty used to it, and he forgets how hard it is to be new to the setting again. Part of him is hoping he might jog her memory even thought it's impossible.]

Head south, and you should be able to find house 26. It's pretty easy to spot, as it's the only one with devil's snare on the outside. [After a moment of fussing.] The guide is here for when you get a chance to look it over, and it does talk about the experiments a bit. It's the best for learning about our situation.

[He doesn't know how else to comfort her, really. The fact that she's back is a pretty good comfort for him.] I know.

[Voice] voicesreason May 6 2011, 01:31:58 UTC

How did you manage to get devil's snare here? It's not the sort of plant that would likely grow here. [Pausing a second.] Ron's sent a patronus so that should help some.

Thank you, Harry, I'll be sure to read it soon. When I get to the house, I suppose. [Thinking "the house" seems odd.] Not a great idea to read something in the middle of a forest.

[Dry humor, but she's biting the inside of her lip in thought.] And you've no chance of finding a way home.

[It wasn't a question, she was sure he tried-- they tried. A year and a half, that was a long time.]

[Voice] cruxofapotter May 6 2011, 02:05:57 UTC

They have certain kinds of things from our world. Neville had a lot of plants when he was here and I'm still trying to sort them all out. [... In other words, he was missing his bff that actually paid attention in Herbology. Harry sounds relieved though. He figured Ron would've wanted to find her himself.] So you're on your way now. Are you alright, aside from the whole showing up in a weird place bit?

[He sighs and pauses for a moment.] We were sort of hoping the reason you'd left before is because you'd found a way back.

[Voice] voicesreason May 6 2011, 02:26:41 UTC

[They had devil's snare, Hermione was curious to know what else they possible had.] Neville was here too? [She's frowning since she got the idea he wasn't there anymore. That was good, though] Aside from that part... It's easier to take knowing you and Ron are here as well.

[It's true, she would be far less calm about matters if she wasn't sure how her friends were. But his last comment makes her frown. Hoping she-- a sigh escapes.]

Oh, Harry, you should know I would never leave you or the others behind even if I had found a way. It just wouldn't be right.
