[Private to Yurippe.]

I'd like to hear more about your plans concerning sending a message to the Malnosso? I've tested my powers extensively [Between naps.] and they are greatly reduced. Regardless, if I can help, I will. I just need to know what direction you're taking.

[Private to Pascal.]

It's amazing the difference a little rest makes. [She looks much better. There is more color on her cheeks, her wounds are either healed or healing and her hair has been Charmed so the frizziness is gone.]

Have you explored the village? If not, I think we should start there and then branch out into the less obvious attributes of Luceti.

[Private to Luke Skywalker.]

Thank you again for coming to get me. If I can ever return the favor, please let me know?

I wasn't sure about this place when I first arrived, but it is proving to be quite fascinating. I almost don't mind losing some of my abilities [Or, rather, the intensity of them.] in order to meet those I never thought I would [More like: "could meet".].

If Luceti really is located in another dimension, it makes me wonder how many other dimensions there might be. Of course visiting them and keeping a tally would probably be a nightmare, but it is interesting to think about.

[She is slowly braiding her hair, sitting cross-legged in a chair. Over-all, she looks much better than she had on her arrival.]

For those I haven't met, my name is Hermione Granger. [A faint smile crosses her lips.]

Yeah. All four seasons here. You might want to be careful when winter comes too, because we had a couple of nasty storms this year.

So you're a Witch, huh? [He grins--she was yet another that he had met.] The power dampening is a common complaint, but people manage to get around it. There are spirits here who can help with that if you ever want to learn from them...

There's also a little club starting up for people who use magic. It's the brainchild of a really tall wizard called Harry Dresden, if you want to look him up. The first meeting should be sometime in the next few weeks too, so you can drop on in. I don't think Dresden will mind party crashers.

I know the best way to deal with storms: don't enter them in the first place. [A storm was the perfect weather for holing up in a library with a pile of books.]

I am. [She nods to herself, humming.] I spoke to someone about that. She was trying to locate one spirit in particular.

[Hermione already has several ideas for that club, which she will gladly share with Harry - and anyone else.]

I was in charge of a similar club for several years. We used it to teach fellow Witches and Wizards how to best defend themselves in duels and dangerous situations. I'd like to speak to Harry about incorporating some of that into his club.

[voice]

[redjacketthief]

...I was thinking that he might do that anyway. He's pretty slick, for an odd duck. [He chuckled, remembering their first real meeting and their shared snark over lost belonging and makeup sales ladies. Her commentary on the storms was also cute--oh, if only she knew how easy it was to get stranded!]

I don't know much about the spirits personally, but they tend to frequent different kinds of areas more readily. Water near the beach, wind near the mountains...you get the drift.

[voice]

[bibliophile_annex]

All the more reason I should speak with him. [She nods, decided.]

So they are elemental in nature. [A short pause while she considers that.] Each person responds better to certain elements (or an element) by nature. Fire has always come to me readily. I wonder if I should seek out one of the fire spirits?

[voice]

[redjacketthief]

There's only one spirit per element, and I hear the fire one can be very temperamental. Still, if you all ready are good with fire magic, you shouldn't have too hard of a time with him.

[voice]

[bibliophile_annex]

I've known more than a few temperamental people. [She can handle that. Maybe.] Creating blue flames that were resistant to water and wind was one of my first spells.

[voice]

[redjacketthief]

Oh, really? [It's the fire that caught his interest.] Didn't know that was even possible...

But it sounds like you'll be a shoo-in for learning the fire magic around here.

[voice]

[bibliophile_annex]

Magic makes a lot of seemingly impossible things possible. [Which is why she loves it so much.]

I hope so. That would be helpful.
