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.

That's a relief, at least. [It's not like she has any money on her.] I've been camping for the most part of the year. I think living in a building would be a nice change.

[Though she used to enjoy it. For a vacation.]

Camping definitely isn't a permanent thing for most people. I don't blame you for wanting a roof over head and some time off from the bugs. Personally, considering how long it's been, I'll deal with it a while longer.

[And he chuckles.]

I used to camp with my parents and, generally, I love being outdoors, but - [It has lost its charm.]

I'd love a shower and a long nap.

[echotaker]

Then the village is likely your best bet! Seriously, just go check it out. And if you're ever up for a roasted fish, let me know.

[And he grins.]

Good luck!

[bibliophile_annex]

Thank you. [She smiles genuinely.] I appreciate all of the help and if I can return the favor, please let me know.
