[The weak light of dawn makes this feed barely visible. Hermione is standing outside, her arms crossed over her chest. Her sight is set on something before her, though what she's watching will have to remain a mystery to the viewer.

Off-screen, blue flames leap to life. The glow they give off is rather...eery. Hermione bottles them and sets them on the ground at her feet.]

This will probably do no good - [All the same, she's Hermione. She has to try. If she doesn't, she will always wonder.]

Bombarda Maxima! [A bright spell streaks through the early dawn air and hits the barrier surrounding all of Luceti. As she expected, nothing happens.]

Cave Inimicum. [Tiredly, the Witch drops to her knees and pulls her journal towards her. She begins to write.]

Consider explosive Potions. Be open to ingredients that could, in theory, be replaced.

[She rubs over her face and ties her hair back into a sloppy ponytail. After getting back onto her feet, she holds out her wand and hisses:]

Confringo! [Normal colored flames spark in the air near the barrier. Some of them even manage to bounce back and hit Hermione. She falls to the ground and quickly puts out her sleeve.]

I think I get the message. [Those words are said through gritted teeth. Oh but she's not done with you, barrier.]

I had a Kneazle named Crookshanks. I miss him. [That might be boring to her, but to Hermione, Crookshanks is/was/will always be a good friend/companion.]

[It's more that it's early. She yawns again (ugh, really, self, be more refined) and she waves a hand] Yeah, I can see where it'd be a pain to not have your pet here.

[Hermione's sleep schedule is all over the place. She is far too awake for the early hour.]

It would definitely brighten up my apartment if he was waiting for me. [BUT...] He's safer at home.

[voice]

[godbent]

Then find a new cat or a fish or something. I've got Sekai and Pogo.

[voice]

[bibliophile_annex]

I bonded with him. It might be difficult to bond with another animal.

[A sigh.]

But it's worth a try.

[voice]

[godbent]

Yeah, well it's obviously unreasonable to expect an instant bond but that doesn't me you shouldn't pursue something if you're that lonely or whatever. And if you're still lonely, go live with someone.

[voice]

[bibliophile_annex]

You're right. [She can't argue with that.] I have no idea who I would live with, so...

That leaves a pet.

[voice]

[godbent]

Good, so if you've come to a conclusion, get on that.

[voice]

[bibliophile_annex]

I will.
