[ At first the feed is silent, just showing a small grassy plain. Then, suddenly, there's a quiet little yip and something pops into view -- a puppy, looking more than a little excited, with wings fluttering around it's little body as it moves, barking at the camera (or, rather, who is behind the camera). Eventually it moves, with a scuffling noise, and Hermione's face pops into view, at least until she is mauled by the dog licking at her and clambering to get into her lap. She accepts it with good grace, of course, just laughing and patting at the lovely thing's head. ]

I was given this lovely boy by the faeries today and I have no idea who it's from - it must be a gift because I didn't ask for him, at least not this time. I wanted to say thank you to whoever it was because he's adorable! He's the cutest thing I've ever seen - and I've decided to call him Padfoot.

[ She knows Harry and Ron will understand and she hopes neither of them will be put off by the nickname. She moves to shut off the feed even as the puppy goes to try and bite at the chain holding the locket in her fingertips. ]

Padfoot, no ---

[ and it goes. ]

( PRIVATE TO THE KREW + ANYONE WITH A COMPASS. )

I was given my boon by the faeries and - it's incredible. They've given me a book that'll teach me how to make my own network, like the lockets but only for us to use. I was wondering if you'd all tell me what kind of thing you'd want, if you want a personal network for anyone or just for you and some friends? And what you'd like it on - a watch or a necklace or something? Let me know, please?

Oh, yeah, they're totally worse then being made a charred snack.

[ It's not different. You just don't like them. He could say that but instead he's trying not to laugh. Properly laugh. He's not sure if she's being serious or not.
]
That's why you need to sort of your priorities.

We didn't get burned on the dragon's back, did we? There we go.

[ She bites her lip, trying not to burst into giggles. ]

Speak for yourself, Ronald Weasley.

Only 'cause it couldn't whip it's neck around and find us without burning itself. Not to mention it was glad to be shot of that place.

[ Just laugh. He snorts, raising a brow. ]

I am just fine. I'm not the one who's bent on becoming the next Hagrid.

Well, could you blame it? Being tortured like that on a daily basis, it was positively barbaric. The poor thing should've been freed ages ago.

[ She sniffs, looking away to hide her laugh. ]

I am not! I don't have a dragon egg, thank you very much.

I didn't say it wasn't. Only that there was loads of reasons it didn't decide to make us dinner when it could have.

[ A success! His own smile comes more naturally then before and he leans back. ]

It's only a matter of time. You're not as keen on rules as you say you are anymore. You'll be afraid someone won't hatch it properly and steal it out from right under their nose.

Maybe it liked me.

[ She shakes her head, lips curling into a bright smile. ]

That's not true! Mako had a dragon and I left him alone with it, actually.

Oh, yeah, it was right charmed by you. Strange people on its back is definitely what it wanted.

[He pauses briefly before giving a shake of his head and an amused smirk. Because he knows the answer to his next question before he even asks it. ]

And if Hagrid had one again, eh? Then what?

At least I wasn't torturing the poor thing, and I helped it escape.

[ She leans back, crossing her arms. ]

I'd call Charlie again, of course. Hagrid can't take care of a baby dragon, not at Hogwarts and not in his tiny little house.

No, but ever thought how it's gonna manage now?

[ Or if a poor muggle finds it. We never did stop to check that out. But we kind of didn't have time. ]

Dunno, he worked hard to figure out how to raise it before our help. If he had the right equipment I bet he'd manage fine.

[ not that it makes it better. but, well, at least it's not blast-ended screwts ]

It's a dragon, Ron. Dragon behaviour dictates that it goes to seek out it's pack, whatever's left of it. Don't you read?

[ Honestly. She sniffs, shaking her head. ]

I really don't think anyone will approve of a Hogwarts dragon, least of all the new headmaster.

What pack? You know there's not many left in Britain they'd be too noticed. There's a reason Charlies off in Romania.

I'm fairly certain our school motto is 'never wake a sleeping dragon' for a reason.

Well, that's what I mean. Dragons are clever, you know, they find their way back to their family. A little bit like you.

[ REMEMBER HOW CUTE U WERE what happened :T ]

That doesn't mean we need one. Right?

[ OMG. Do you have to bring that up because that just makes him feel guilty and sink back a little. Finding his way back has a totally different meaning to him. ]

...He might never find 'em you know.

[ RUDE. ]

Need and want are different things you know. Can you imagine the twins if we had one we were there?[ Not that the mention of the twins isn't painful at all because he pauses briefly when he starts saying the word before he continues. ]

I'd like to think he would. I'm sure they've missed him, a lot.

[ She coughs to hide the flush on her cheeks because, hey. She wasn't just talking about the dragon anymore, not really. Still a little flustered she shakes her head and leans back. ]

They'd have been even more terrible than they were. Honestly, you call me mental.

[ It's not hard to tell they're not talking about a dragon anymore because of the wording and he squirms just a tad before mumbling. ]

Doubt that. They'd get on fine and never notice eventually.

[ He clears his throat. ]

You are mental. Just as mental as the lot of us.

I don't think so.

[ And that's that. They were a mess without Ron, she and Harry both knew it. ]

Is that intended as a compliment?

I do. If we're so alike and all that.

[ He says it simply and with a shrug. That was that. Ron believed in his friends far more then he believed in himself. Hermione was going to be off trying to change laws and Harry was becoming an Auror. Ron didn't really want of that for himself. He just wanted a normal life. The other two were more reliable and knew exactly what they were going to do...

...He was the third wheel who just kind of stuck around and always came back. That was it. Even if he always came back, it's not like he contributed much at all. Not in his mind and not from the way he saw it. They would always be steps ahead of him and he would just do his best to be there when they needed it. ]

--If I told you a proper compliment you'd probably laugh it off. So, yeah.
