[ The locket opens on just Hermione's face; behind her there is nothing but a blank wall, at least until she turns. Then there's a small bookshelf, a series of vials and a cauldron before she sits down and refocuses the camera on her and nothing else. It takes her a moment to speak but she does - after taking a long, deep breath. ]

For anyone that doesn't know me, my name is Hermione Granger. We're about to enter a war and I don't think it's right that any of us enter entirely unprepared - there's only so much we can do, but I intend to do whatever I can to make sure that everyone is ready and as capable as they can be. 

[ Another deep breath and she turns, so that both her cauldrons are in sight. ]

I've been brewing potions for the last few days, as much as I can and as quickly as I can. I have things for cuts, scrapes, wounds, for loss of blood and for burns, anti-paralysis... I think you get the idea. I've got a lot of stock and I'm ready to give it to anyone who thinks they might need it before they go and fight. If you need it after then you know my name and how to contact me, right?

[ She looks troubled, still; war isn't something she is entirely comfortable with, even now, even with how familiar she is with it. ]

Just let me know if you want or need something and I can pop over and deliver it. And if you have, um, friends that might need it but can't read this? Let me know. I'm an equal opportunist potioneer, I promise. Thank you for your time.

[ And, added a little later, if the change in the shadows of the room are any indication -- ]

You don't have to pay me for them, but if you can find ingredients or donate something that would be nice. Just so I can keep this going.

[ Happy, Mako? ]

Dittany...

[she thinks for a second. a few types spring to mind...]

Do you know which species you need? Or at least, can you describe it?

[brainiest]

It's also known as the burning bush in my world and when it's used it lets off a bit of a green smoke? I need it so I can try and make some more Essence of Dittany... You might also know it as Origanum dictamnus?

[ She looks hopeful, though. Having more dittany for healing would be incredible. ]

It's green and looks almost a little weedlike?

[recognition hits after a second -- part of one of the restorative teas from home. she had asked after every ingredient, if she was going to be putting it into her body on a regular basis.]

That one. Unfortunately it's not also growing in my room, but I can look for it. There are a few friends of mine who just might be able to point in the right direction and also contribute to the search.

[why was she doing this? because she wanted to see the results, if she was completely honest.]

[brainiest]

[ She brightens considerably, perking up. ]

That sounds amazing! I ran out of it not too long ago and if I had some more I could make something that could heal in seconds.

[ Her excitement is almost brimming over. ]

[topmodel]

Can you show me? Once the dittany's found, of course. Magic's still a strange wonder to me.

[brainiest]

Of course. I'd love to!

[ Because if there's one thing Hermione loves it's educating and learning. ]

[topmodel]

Really? Oh, thank you!

[and it draws out one of her intentionally charming smiles. she got what she wanted.]

I realize I didn't even introduce myself yet -- my name is June May.

[brainiest]

It'll be no trouble at all.

[ And Hermione smiles back, entirely unaware. ]

It's really nice to meet you. My name is Hermione Granger.
