[The PCD feed clicks on to reveal a teenage girl, her eyes wide with something between wonder and confusion as they catch sight of the ruined city before her. Long, bushy hair is tucked into a scarf that is wrapped tightly around her neck, and bundled up in winter clothes, she is clearly overdressed for a mildly cool fall day. Her head turns in

Hello?

[She's confused for a moment as to where the voice is coming from, but it doesn't take her long to figure out that that... thing... she's somehow obtained is a communications device. It's a last resort, but she figures she'll see if this person on the other end knows anything.]

I... think I'm lost.

You're in Adstringendum. You were brought here by some spirits named the Animus.

[Best to get it out now.]

My name's Rei. What's your name?

[Video]

[its_leviosa]

Spirits? How is that...?

[Definitely not logical.]

I'm Hermione. It's nice to meet you, Rei.

[Ping'd! Hogwarts, Portkeys, Apparition... and that scarf! She's from his world.]

You're one of the few and valiant who have read Hogwarts, a History.

[But more importantly:]

Harry who?

[its_leviosa]

[Hmpf.] Well, it's a very informative book. More people should read it.

[You couldn't be too sure with anyone these days, but this boy seems all right enough. So she'll answer.]

... Harry Potter. He's my friend.

[chaserprongs]

[He stares at her for a long moment before breaking into a grin. Hermione Granger, you've just made his day.]

Good. That's good.

I'm James. What's your name?

[Video // Private // Unhackable]

[its_leviosa]

I'm Hermione. Hermione Granger.

[Wait a second, James? He looks an awful lot like Harry. Could it be...? No, no way.]

Do you know Harry?

[siriuslymagical]

Wait...someone has actually read Hogwarts, A History?

[its_leviosa]

I don't see why that should be such a rare occurrence. I've read it multiple times, and it's quite fascinating.

[siriuslymagical]

Because it's so large and boring. The only person I can name who has read that book is Remus. He's probably read it loads of times too...can't see myself even getting past chapter one.

[its_leviosa]

It may be large, but it's most certainly not boring. It has very valuable information.

[She stops prattling on about her favorite book for a second, because something in what he said caused her to think. Remus?]

... Did you mean Remus Lupin?

[notamageiswear]

[... something about that seemed familiar, and checking what James and Sirius said pretty much cinched that one. Someone else from a world with magic. And someone else from England, too.]

Ah, hello. Is everything alright?

[Video]

[its_leviosa]

I believe so. Relatively speaking.

[Video]

[notamageiswear]

Yes, I suppose so... it's rather startling, the first time you find yourself here.

I assume you've been given an idea of what this place is and such?

[Video]

[its_leviosa]

[Nod] I was walking with my friends, and the next thing I knew....

So far I've been told that the place I'm in is called Adstringendum and that I was apparently brought here by spirits.

[its_leviosa]

[Have a small smile. Familiarity! Even if she doesn't know this witch exactly.]

It seems that way.

[its_leviosa]

I'm Hermione. It's nice to meet you, Lily.
