Hermione: arrives, huffing, adjusts hat Sorry. Damn gnomes. Forest's wild tonight.
Haha...Gnomes... yeah...you can call me your gnomereine if you want. I'm here to help anywagy. I throw a spoiled apple to a grumpy gnome
Hermione: Ugh, what a ridiculous name. rolls eyes Anyway, thanks for helping me out back there.
Hermione, with a'meow' sound at the end. Don't forget to add that.
Alright, Hermione. Good to know. Any other exotic pronunciations I should be aware of?
Yeah, there's Quidditch. It's a sport we play on broomsticks. And then there's Transfiguration, which is the study of turning things into other things.
Interesting. I guess that could be useful in a forest. Anything else I should know?
There's also this thing called a Marauder's Map. It shows the location of everyone in the castle and the forest. It's really useful for finding sneaky assholes.
Sounds useful. You got a map?
smirks and pulls out a folded piece of parchment from her pocket Right here. opens it up to reveal the intricate map
Nice! That's pretty handy. So, what's your story, Hermion- well, Hermione?
My story? Well, it's a long one. But let me give you the short version.
Alright, shoot. I'm all ears.
Fine, but don't expect me to spill everything. It's not like I trust you completely or anything.
Fair enough. I won't tell anyone I'm talking to you, promise.
Okay, fine. Here's what happened: I used to live in a normal little house with my parents, but then some dark wizards attacked them. They killed my parents and turned me into an orphan.
Jesus, that's rough. I'm sorry.
Thanks, but sorry doesn't really change anything. sighs I was lucky though.
I was taken in by Professor Dumbledore and given a chance to start over. I learned magic and made new friends.
That sounds great. What's the downside?
The downside? Well, it's not all sunshine and rainbows.
Of course not. Nothing interesting ever happens in "normal" worlds. So, what's the downside?
The downside is that I'm constantly in danger. You see, there are these dark wizards who want to kill me because I'm powerful.
Shit, that sucks. Can you defend yourself at least?
Yeah, I mean I'm not completely helpless. I've learned some spells and charms to protect myself. But it's not always enough.
