[So, Adstring. Hermione's been having a rough time of things recently, and just when she'd gotten over it enough to think to be social, this happens.There's one less wizard in her house. And considering what this wizard had told her was waiting for him upon his return home... this isn't exactly a good thing.

She doesn't want to think of it as Harry ( Read more... )

adstring you suck, ron you'd better hug her, big girls don't cry, disinclined to acquiesce to your drop, emotional range of the grand canyon, she can be such a girl sometimes, my b.f.f. is m.i.a., i need a hole to crawl into, somebody really should hug her, hugs are needed

I have some, too. Would you mind the company?

[Text] bookish_lioness August 29 2011, 00:37:43 UTC

I don't know if I'd make very good company, given my behaviour on the video.

You must not have seen my video last week.

Please, take care of yourself. Losing someone you care about is always difficult.

I was a little preoccupied last week. I apologise. Are you new to Adstringendum as a whole, then?

[asfldaskdlfh. Girls. And crying. And not good. Kuwabara is disliking this place already!]

...miss? Are you alright?

[Dear Koenma how many times has he said that in the past hour?]

[If it makes him feel better, she doesn't do it often?]

I'll be fine. I just... I've lost someone important to me, and I wasn't expecting it.

[The typos actually make her smile a little; at least he actually tries, whereas Ron rarely ever makes the attempt.]

Does it? I suppose a few people have gone missing, recently. I just never thought it would happen to someone I'm so close with.

Hermione...

[ Tonks can tell something's wrong. It's the way she refers to Harry and the look on her face. This is not a reaction to something small or harmless. ]

Harry's no longer here, is he?

[video] bookish_lioness August 29 2011, 00:43:54 UTC

[The video comes back on, though she doesn't look at the screen. Seeming to focus on something on the floor, her face scrunches up as she resolves not to cry, and she gives her head a shake.]

[video] everwotching August 29 2011, 02:09:28 UTC

Would you like me to cover over?

[For once, the Doctor isn't simply rushing in on seeing a young girl crying on his PCD screen. Instead, he's taking the time to read and see and listen to all the responses available to him. Only then does he begin to type.]

Loss is always a hard thing to deal with, especially when the future you know the person will face isn't the most forgiving. When you fear for their life, their safety, when you simply aren't very sure whether or not you will ever see them again. I can't pretend to be an expert on dealing with it, but I am an expert on... feeling the pain that's brought on by someone's absence. I've lived a long time, I've lost people time and time again, be it to age or disease, betrayal or war, or simply the passage of time and the dissolving of a partnership.

You simply must remember to keep your chin up, and hope for the best. If you fall into the grips of pessimism, if you allow it to rule your heart and mind, you will find nothing but pain and despair, the cold, cold chill of hopelessness. And a life, an existence ( ... )

[Hermione's continually surprised by the amount of strangers who reach out to her here, but she was certainly not expecting a block of text from someone who seemed to know more about her fears and insecurities than even her closest friends. It takes her a while to respond, since she occasionally pauses to tear up or wipe at her eyes or some such thing.]

I'm not entirely sure how to respond to something like this other than to say thank you. I'm not usually the teary one - or, at least, I try not to be - but this had been unexpected and hit me rather hard. I suppose your calm comes with age; I'm still young, and though I've been hit with death on all sides in recent years, each one still hits me hard. Please don't take this as belittling your kind words; I'm only trying to explain why this is hitting me so hard.

'The Doctor,' is it? That's a peculiar sort of title. At any rate, I do appreciate your taking the time to give me such a lengthy and sympathetic response. I think I would enjoy tea with you, should your invitation indeed be

[He's doing nothing more than browsing the Network, speaking to a few people here and there in order to get to know the populace a bit better, so when Hermione's reply goes through, there's only a slight pause from his end as he works his fingers at a well-practiced speed to get a reply back to her.]

Even the strongest have their moments of weakness, you just wouldn't be human without them. And, really, they're what make you stronger than any other being in the entire universe. Faults and pains are the things you need to grow, to mature, to become stronger than ever before. Just think how much easier you'll be able to smile if you could only manage one now.

There is no getting used to death, no matter how much you see it. The more you feel, the more you care, and the more you grow numb to it, the more you're losing yourself to the world. And that should never happen. There's hardly a thing you can do to belittle my words or your own at the moment, I assure you.

I think you'll find I'm very rarely not sincere. I can bring ( ... )

[There's... a slight pause in her response, since she's not entirely sure what his first bit is supposed to mean.]

You're speaking of humans objectively. Pardon me for being so blunt, but does that mean that you're one of the angels?

I can send you my coordinates now. Perhaps another hour or so will be all right for me to regain face, if that's agreeable? If not, I'm otherwise fairly open.

Hermione...what's happened to Harry?

[Because it sounds like something happened to him or else she wouldn't be nearly crying like this.]

[Video] bookish_lioness August 29 2011, 01:12:16 UTC

[She stares at the screen, surprised. Looking away, her voice comes out in a low murmur.]

He's gone.

[Video] siriuslymagical August 29 2011, 01:23:18 UTC

G-gone? He can't be gone? Why do you just assume he's gone? Have you tried looking for him?

[Sorry about this, Hermione. But every time a friend has left, he's refused to believe it until he's gone out to look for them for hours.]

[Video] bookish_lioness August 29 2011, 01:31:20 UTC

[Hermione doesn't mind seeing someone else panic; it lets her be the calm one, the mature one, and she needed that right now.]

Most of his things are gone, Sirius. I've been trying to get in touch with him all thing this morning, and nothing."
