video ( open to seelie + unseelie )

[ 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.

[Where most Victorian aged people would be heading to the other direction? Not Alice.]

I have no complaints.

[brainiest]

Good! I'm glad things are at least a little comfortable for you here.

[digophelia]

May I ask why the inquiry...?

[brainiest]

I'm just curious, honestly. I like to learn.

[digophelia]

[And they say she's too inquisitive.]

Hmm, that's absolutely understandable. It's a good, especially in places that are unfamiliar and hostile.

[brainiest]

Exactly! It's best to know as much as you can about any given situation, isn't it?

[digophelia]

It is! Although there was more information to spare from this side of the court from the natives, sort of speak. They're not the most forthcoming type, I've found.

[brainiest]

Oh, are you in Caer Scima? [ Hermione tilts her head. ] That's where my best friend is.

[digophelia]

Yes. His name wouldn't happen to be Harry, would it? I haven't met that many of my countrymen so far.

[brainiest]

That's the one. He's not being a prat, is he? [ She's teasing, really she is... ]

[digophelia]

[ The joking goes right over her head; she looks thoroughly surprised at the idea. ]

Oh, goodness, no. He's been very friendly -- one of the friendlier ones I've met so far.

[brainiest]

Oh! No, I mean - I was just teasing. I know he's lovely, really.

[digophelia]

Oh!

[ What is humor? Alice doesn't know. ]

Well, yes, very much so. There have been very strange beings around here. And people for that matter and insofar, not so much him. I'm a bit grateful.

[brainiest]

I can tell you now that if you need anything I am sure Harry'll help you. He's incredible.

[digophelia]

The both of you needn't worry about that; I fend for myself fairly well. But I will say it is comforting to speak with others around my age. That within itself is a rarity.
