I haven't the slightest clue why I was brought to...? [What does she even call this place? A forest? A paradise? She doesn't feel entirely settled with calling her new surroundings the latter. Something is definitely off. After all, hadn't she been in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts a moment ago?

Crossing her arms over her chest, she presses her lips together, a determined glint in her eyes.]

My name is Hermione Granger and I know for a fact that I did not choose to come here. Nor did I choose to have wings fastened onto my back.

[That part is quite curious. Bringing her somewhere against her will is one thing, but attaching wings to her back without her realizing it is another. She wonders if she had been rendered unconscious for awhile.]

Is there any way to rid myself of them? They are...cumbersome. [Not to mention they make her feel like a walking target.

She lowers her voice and adds in an undertone:] It's a shame Luna didn't come with me. This seems like something out of The Quibbler.

[Rolling her shoulders to relieve some tension, she exhales.]

I have a number of questions for anyone who has the time. I've tried to speak to the villagers, but they're not terribly... [animate] ...helpful. I wonder if they're under some spell?

[Hermione shakes her head and shifts from foot to foot.]

I would sincerely appreciate any aid. Thank you.

Very well. This place is Luceti, an enclosed area existing in a different world. You've been captured and brought here, along with many people from different worlds. There is more attached, but that is the basic rundown. The book you're holding in particular is a communication device.

The book actually reminds me of a Muggle computer. [She is turning said device around in her hands and examining it closely.] It's remarkable that so much technology could be put inside of such a small book.

[Point. Right.]

From what I understand, everyone is trapped except when you're removed for experiments? [She'd love to hear that's a lie.] What do you know about the beings who rule Luceti?

Muggle? [He has no idea what that means. But he'll put it aside if she mentions nothing of it.] Nevermind. Yes that is correct. The ones who are running Luceti are a group of scientists called The Malnosso. They seem to have some kind of agenda that involves experimenting on us, but that agenda is muddy and unclear. They don't make it a habit of speaking to us, even if you ask for them over this book. Unsurprising really.

Non-Magical person. [She has been around Wizards for too long.] I can't imagine what they are gaining out of these experiments. They seem like nothing more than a sick game to me.

[Hermione pauses and shifts. Her voice is softer and more fatigued when she speaks again.]

From what I've heard, they're no different from the corrupt government in my world.

I see. [Magic, huh? So even other worlds had people who could special abilities and people who couldn't.] A sick game indeed. But there is no way of escaping as of now and, even if we could get away, we're still stranded on another world.

["Corrupt government"? A thing wry smile finds its way onto his expression.]

All governments are corrupt in some way. This place is no different indeed.

Another world would be simple enough to understand, I would think. But this is another dimension, so even if we found our worlds, they might be completely different from what we know.

[Stranded covers it concisely.]

A corrupt government can be fixed. It just takes time and immense support.
