[ 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, no, it's just Hermione, really. I'm not a lady.

[ Another thing she is getting used to. ]

Not at all! I love talking about my magic, explaining things - it's one of my favourite things.

[A nod to acknowledge her correcting him.]

In that case, I'll admit that you're the first witch I've ever met, though I have encountered wizards. Neither of them could fly.

I've heard a few tales about that -- I suppose humans don't tend to have magic where you're from?

[ She tilts her head before she shakes it. ]

We can only fly using brooms, not just on our own, at least not without using a lot of magic.

Tales of our world? [That gets a questioning look.]

They don't. [A shake of his head, his expression one of mildly astonished interest. She really is a human girl?] But then, even Elves cannot fly, with or without brooms.

Oh, um, yes! I spend a lot of time with Legolas? So I've heard a few stories.

[ She's getting a little too used to this familiar disbelief - not that it's a bad thing, of course. ]

It's a kind of enchantment. I just never really took to it - they could always tell that I was afraid.
