Hermione is working on letters again. She hasn't received any back yet, but she knows Harry can be a little lax on correspondence if it isn't pressing. There's no need to worry about breaking the time-space continuum with letters. Yet.
Crookshanks is somewhere. She's left the door open just enough that she could see if he left, but for the moment he's hiding.
Dear Ginny,
It has been an interesting week. The important news is that
Willow and I did get into
Special Collections in the library. It's a bit odd. For instance, the walls closed in, the floor fell out and a genie gave us manicures. Do not tell Ron that, I will never hear the end of it.
I don't know if Harry told you, but Cedric Diggory is going to school here, with no idea of what happened. Apprently this happens every now and then in Fandom. I stopped in to check on him and he offered to
take off his shirt. Don't tell Ron that, either. Also the radio says he went on a date with someone named Jack. A boy. Did you know anything about this???
I've met a lot of interesting people here. A
talking cat, for instance. He and Crookshanks seem to like each other enough.
Bridge seems very nice, and
Zack wanted to knoe the science behind the kind of magic we do, though I don't know how to answer that. One
Peter is also from England and is
very cute, and
another was kind enough to warn me about some horrible things that happened in the pool.
I am also feeling extremely inadequate as I have not souled a vampire,
do not speak more than a couple languages,
never done plant or metal magic and can't
do any magic with fire, not that I need to do any of this, but the problem is I can't and it is frustrating.
Apparently there is also a
iant squid in the lake. I keep telling people it's not much different from Hogwarts...
I hope to hear from you soon. I know of everyone, you'll actually write me back.
Love from,
Hermione
Hermione is sealing the letter when she notices the owl pecking at the window, a scroll loosely tied around its neck. She opens the window and lets it hop onto the windowsill, taking the scroll and unrolling it.
She reads it quickly, not even suppressing the squeal. The first thing she does is remove her wand from its place in her desk drawer. Then she gives Ginny's letter to the owl, feeds it a piece of a cracker, and lets it on its way.
She can do magic again, though she does have restrictions. However, she
has something that needs to be done. She thinks they'll understand.
