Hermione Granger, Pensieve Memory, 7.3.1997

[lutra_teneans]

Name: Hermione Granger
Date: July 7, 1997
Format: Pensieve Memory
Relevence: Hermione stopped believing in 'worst' during her second year at Hogwarts. We may deduce, however, that this memory was subjectively pretty dire from it's excellent quality; she seems to have been determined to not only file it but get it out of her head as completely as

All work and no play...

[lutra_teneans]

(sticks out her tongue)
Too late. Was one already.

[the_pureblooded]

*returns the rude gesture*

You still are, Granger.

[lutra_teneans]

(was being good-humored before, but is irked now, since he wasn't)
That went without saying, Malfoy. As in, 'I implied it, so you didn't need to say it.' As in, 'saying it was entirely without class.'

[harriedpotter]

*sympathetically* I might be sorry.

[lutra_teneans]

(jaw sets)
You know exactly whose fault it is that we have to make choices like these.
...But thanks, Harry. And for letting me take care of it. Nothing happened while I was home, did it?

[harriedpotter]

*looks uncomfortable with the position he's put her in*

I do. I know.

It's hard not to feel like it's my fault sometimes, but I know it's not. I know you're here because you want to be.

*squeezes her shoulder*

Thanks for that.

*shakes his head*

No, nothing of serious note. I promised I'd keep a low profile while you were gone and I did. *smiles slightly* You have me well trained.

[lutra_teneans]

(smiles at him wryly, seeing him guilt)
Well, we already know you can manage hard please do not in any way reference Malfoy at this point. You know both those things, so just go on remembering them, all right?

(puts her hand over his and squeezes back)
I won't say it's my pleasure. But I wouldn't be anywhere else.

Do you want a biscuit?
(grins)
Really, do you? They're non-sugar; my mum made them; but they're not bad all the same.

[hexed_gideon]

*frowns a bit*
*friendly*
What exactly is going on here, if I may ask, that is?

[lutra_teneans]

(thinks about it seriously, and looks to make sure they're alone)
You may.
(smiles, not entirely happily)
Both my parents are muggles. I can't just go off and leave them unprotected. Even if I wasn't Harry's friend. It's starting again.

[hexed_gideon]

*nods*
No, of course not. But what is it you were painting on the walls?

[lutra_teneans]

It's called the Vivicus tincture--well, it's a version of it. It's supposed to be active in the presence of malice and harmful intentions, and fear from the people whose blood goes into it--and my cat did find himself seriously inconvenienced by the drapes when he went after a bird, so I think it'll work.

Background, this is one of those make-your-home-part-of-your-family magics that brings the furniture etc to some kind of life. Not at the Beauty and the Beast level. ;) Gideon would probably have seen it a much nastier, horror-flick version of it at work on unsuspecting families during the first war (Snape may post on it at some point, not sure), and Barty was saying something that sounded like a similar effect was protecting Hogwarts over in Hermione's file cabinet post, so a domestic version of it might even be common in wizarding homes despite how I'm completely making it up. ;)

*looks as if he's about to say something serious, then changes his mind*
I must say I applaud your original choice of sandwich.

[lutra_teneans]

Thanks. ♥ ^,^

(acknowledges what he didn't say with her eyes, then smiles)
I'll pass that on to my mother. You should see her cringe when anyone mentions sandwich spread.

[greddy_freddy]

*eyebrows raise* But you should tell her spreads are brilliant too. I once made a sandwich with chopped strawberries, corned beef, chocolate spread... and chips.

*grins* It was heaven.

[lutra_teneans]

(extremely dubious!!)
Er... that sounds... She thinks the only paste that should go in your mouth is toothpaste.

[grim_smile]

Oh, poor Hermione. Not the best time for her to be introduced to Sirius, but I had to stop by and at least make his presense known. :) I imagine Hermione and Fleur might have a few thing to say to each other at one point or another, too. ;) *loves* This was wonderful.
