[ The feed opens with Hermione in the library - where else would she be? - in the Seelie court, a pile of books and papers around her. It's obvious she's been reading and taking notes, going deeper and deeper into as many of the shelves as she can (and the only place she hasn't been allowed access is the Restricted Area, which she is going to get permission for soon). After a moment of brushing her hair out of her face and forcing a slightly brighter smile she leans forward, into the 'camera'. ]

Hello, everyone. My name is Hermione Granger, for anyone I haven't met yet, and I was just wondering if you'd mind answering a few questions I have?

[ She pauses for a moment, grabbing a piece of paper with a list on it and smoothing it out. ]

I was wondering if you'd all be able to tell me about magic, or powers, or anything that might not be considered 'normal' to the average human or otherwise that exist in your worlds? Maybe magical creatures, too, or beings that you think do not transcend to other places that you've heard of. In my world, if it's alright to call them that, we have magic, magical creatures and humans, giants, werewolves, vampires... But a lot of worlds - or universes, I suppose - don't.

[ She smiles, almost sheepish, shy. ]

I hope this isn't too intrusive, I'm just curious and I'd love to learn more, if I'm able.

Hmm, I think you're right about that part.

[Hm, that was an interesting question wasn't it?]

I don't believe it's so much as trial and error as being drawn to a particular branch instinctively over another. For me, I picked up healing magic out of desire to heal my friend's injuries after they returned home with one too many injuries. It just seemed natural to pick up a staff and train myself in its use.

It makes sense. Everyone has interests they're drawn towards, even if they're not magical. It's what you enjoy or find meaningful, so it's almost natural to continue learning about it. That's what I felt about learning Ancient Runes.

[devotedqueen]

Ancient Runes?

[brainiest]

Oh, um, it's the study of the language of magic, in a way, the ancient scriptures? It's a very old language and so we learn how to read and translate it.

[devotedqueen]

So much like the ancient Tellius tongue then.

[Those were what magic tomes used after all]</small.

[brainiest]

Yes, it must be! An old language that requires a lot of study just to understand it.

[devotedqueen]

I wonder if there are any other links between your world's magic system and my own.

[brainiest]

I imagine there must be. Worlds might be parallel but so many things are similar - like a domino effect, parts of each world touch and interlink.

[devotedqueen]

Yes, that does make sense. And if we were all drawn here because we have a shard, the similarities must be more than we ever realised.
