[The feed turns on and shows Hermione sitting, cross-legged in the middle of the floor. Her eyes are closed and there are...strange markings...surrounding her. For anyone who might know what Ancient Runes look like (or might have taken the class at Hogwarts), the markings will be recognizable.]

. . .

[She opens her eyes and sighs. Picking up a piece of paper, she writes down her findings - or lack thereof.]

I would feel much safer if one of these protective charms worked... [But that would require Magic she doesn't have anymore.] I thought I could get around what I lack by writing the symbols upon a physical surface. There are tales of Muggles stumbling across powers they can't control.

[She purses her lips and wipes away the marks.]

Clearly, they are just stories. I thought as much.

Oh, yeah, I have Power Lending. I use it to help the healers at the hospital. So there are things I can do to help keep it safer here, I guess, but - nothing to get around the gods entirely.

That's to be expected, I suppose. Whenever an entity takes power, they usually don't like being challenged or questioned. These gods are no different, it seems.

I admire you for trying, though. What's the word for... loophole? Even powerful beings can leave loopholes. Dealing with all these worlds, there could be one thing they forgot.
