[ 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.

I wish I could remember all the details you're asking for, but if you can find it, there's this great book I read - it's called, Hogwarts: A History - and I really think that'd help.

[...which is to say hi?]

[ Her mouth drops open and the paper flutters from her hand before she breaks out into a smile. ]

Harry! You're here - where are you? I'll come and find you. And don't worry, I have Hogwarts: A History with me so you can read it later.

[ His smile is bright and easy. Harry just knows that with Hermione here, they'll both be okay and figure out a way home all the faster. ]

I'm also in the library, but I don't think we're at the same one? Unless there's two libraries here?

[ Just in case Hermione has explored further than he has, Harry picks up his locket and turns it away from his face, scanning the room behind him. See? A different room. ]

What do you mean 'reread'? I don't think I've ever made it through the whole thing yet.

[ Lies. He has. ]

[ Her mouth drops open and for a moment she just stares at the background that he's showing her - because she has never seen anything like that and she knows, for a fact, that there's only one library here. She's explored it from back to front.

And that means only one thing. ]

Harry... Are - um, are you in the other Court - I mean, are you in Caer Scima?

[ Please let him say no. Please let her just be confused and misguided for once, rather than right. ]

I just got here, but I think so?

[ The way she says it leaves a weight in his stomach. Did he get 'sorted' wrong? ]

Are you okay?

You're in Caer Scima and I'm in Caer Glaem, Harry. [ She deflates a little, almost flopping in the chair. ] We're on opposite sides, about two months walk from each other.

Oh.

[ He's turned the locket back to himself and Hermione can probably see the way his shoulder slump just a little. ]

That's not great, but at least we're on the same planet and we can talk to each other. And we will see each other. Like a little distance can keep us apart.

[ He's determined. ]

I think we've had it worse than this before, haven't we?

[ She forces a smile; his determination has always bolstered her confidence. ]

At least we don't have to sleep in a tent this time around.

If you do find yourself missing my snoring, let me know and we can leave our lockets on overnight. Or you can just charm some rocks to rattle in a tin can, if you'd like?

[ Harry is always helpful. Always.

It's just that his opinion of helpful is a bit skewed. ]

That's so... Sweet of you, Harry.

[ By the wrinkle of her nose? It's obvious it isn't. ]

But - oh! I have my bag with me, with all your clothes and things from when we were travelling. I don't suppose I'd be able to send them to you... Maybe you could Summon them?

You're brilliant. All I came with was my wand, broom, and what I've got on.

[ A change of trousers is more than enough to put a smile on his face. ]

Let me just have a look -

[ And there's a rather large thump as her bag is placed on the table and she winces. The books, every time. She should really put them somewhere safe. ]

I have some jeans, some shirts, a couple of pairs of trainers - I think some are Ron's, but I don't think he'd mind too much.

He's not here, is he?

[ It would've really been alright if all three of them were there, but as it is, they'll do well enough. ]

I haven't seen anyone here that I recognize.

I saw an elf-lady cast a spell once. Or...I think she did.

...Do you know anything about Greco-Roman mythology?

[because that pretty much sums his whole world up pretty well.]

You think she did? What did she do, exactly?

I know a little, from some reading. Why?

No, no, he's not. Oh! But Ginny is - she's over here, with me. She's going to be thrilled that you're alright!

Because that's basically it, where I'm from. All those gods and monsters and all that are real. Not everyone can see all that -- normal humans can't see through the Mist and just go about their lives thinking that's all myth -- but it's pretty much the norm for people like me.

Oh. So - Zeus and everything, they're real in your world?

She crushed weeds and put them on someone's leg wound, and spoke words. It hurt him at first--I had to help hold him down. But she kept talking in Elvish, I suppose, and he calmed down and went to sleep.

Oh, good!

[ Harry doesn't realize that Hermione might not come from exactly the same point in the timeline as him. ]

Is there anyone else we know? And anything else you've found out that you think I should be aware of?

[She considers this for a moment for a multitude of reasons, still she wavers between doubting this could possibly be reality or not.]

Where I come from, such things are nothing more than fairy tales and ghost stories. If you claim to have any sort of magic or to be such a creature, they would deem you very mad.

[of all the examples you could have picked. it is the big one, but still.]

Yeah. He's, uh...my dad, actually.

[ That. Well. Wow. Give her a moment to process that. ]

The Father of all the Gods is your dad?
