[ 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.

The lines of light and dark are blurred, too. I know people have done terrible things with magic that was taught to them by a good person, and people whose magic seems to be terrible, like summoning and working with monsters, who have used it to do great things. But I don't believe I ever came into contact with someone who was entirely good or bad in Cefiro, either...

It's very easy to say things are one or the other, but things are far greyer than that. Magic isn't naturally dark or light, except in some very rare cases - it's the intention that makes the difference, I think.

[phoenix_temple]

Not intention alone, but the effect it has on others. Things done with the best of intentions can still hurt those around you. And since everything in Cefiro is determined by will, everyone is doing what they just think best and it can be troublesome, but it's been peaceful for some time...

[brainiest]

Which is good. I'm glad things are peaceful and not too... I don't know. I'm glad no one is fighting - that's a good thing. I've just come out of a war.

[phoenix_temple]

Wars are never easy. I'm sorry to hear it. But hopefully we'll be able to keep things peaceful. So long as we keep our heads, things will be fine.

[brainiest]

I hope so - I don't mind helping protect people from the creatures, but... The others? I don't want to be part of another war.

[phoenix_temple]

So long as people are peaceful and remember we're all just people, I'm sure it will be fine, won't it?

[brainiest]

I hope so! I don't think many of us really want to fight, so...
