The Seventh Page: [V i d e o]

I haven't celebrated Halloween since I was a little girl. [She frowns faintly.] That isn't entirely correct. Hogwarts did hold a Halloween feast, but no one dressed up like they do in the Muggle world.

[As she speaks, she rifles through a box. Someone has been "shopping".]

All things considered I would like to celebrate it properly again. [Smiling, Hermione shifts the camera and reveals a Medieval dress.] This is only the dress, of course. I've bought accessories to accompany it and I will be using some Magic to complete the effect.

[Opps. She's babbling. Again.]

If you're wondering... I've decided to dress like Shakespeare's Hermione from A Winter's Tale.

What do you think?

"Since what I am to say must be but that
Which contradicts my accusation, and
The testimony on my part no other
But what comes from myself, it shall scarce boot me
To say, "Not guilty." Mine integrity,
Being counted falsehood, shall, as I express it,
Be so received. But thus: if powers divine
Behold our human actions, as they do,
I doubt not then but innocence shall make
False accusation blush and tyranny
Tremble at patience."


It is a rather fascinating play and I rather appreciate the characterization of Hermione.
I do not believe we have met, I am Spock of Vulcan.

[bibliophile_annex]

Did you recite that from memory? [She is impressed!] It's a pleasure, Spock of Vulcan. Feel free to call me Hermione or Mione. I don't mind either.

[spohkh]

Very well... Hermione. You may refer to me as Spock.

My mother was rather fond of play-writes.... she read them aloud to me often. I find your choice of garment most intriguing, are you from that era?

[bibliophile_annex]

Nice to meet you, Spock.

No, I'm not. I only know what I've read about said era, but I believe it's accurate.

[spohkh]

It is well to make your acquaintance.

And indeed it is accurate. However, may I inquire as to where you are from? I am attempting to collect specific data.

[bibliophile_annex]

I am from...England. The year was 1998 for me.

[spohkh]

My mother was always partial to England. She managed to convince my father to take them on an anniversary trip there.

[bibliophile_annex]

Are either of your parents Magically inclined?

[spohkh]

Negative. My mother was a human from Earth, and my father is a full blooded Vulcan...

There is no 'magic' in my Universe in the context of which you are familiar.
