Seventh Reading | Text/Video

[bibliophile_annex]

To those who wield fire:

I would like to know the extent of your control over fire as well as whether or not your abilities have increased significantly since you arrived in Asgard. And, if your abilities have increased, was it due to practice or did it happen naturally?

I suppose those inquiries could apply to any power, but I would like to compare notes with another fire user if at all possible.

Thank you.

[Filtered to Draco Malfoy.]

[Hermione switches to video, looking thoughtful.]

Have you made use of your power? How high can you fly?

[Other than that, because he's not horrible to talk to...]

Would you like to meet in person sometime? I don't know about you, but being around someone familiar might be a welcome change. [And she is going to leave it at that.]

The night sky sure is lovely. [She tilts her bracelet so that everyone can see the heavens.] Would it be silly to make a wish if I see a shooting star?

I'd love to see a shooting star! [ aaaah. her voice is wistful. ] But I didn't know if there were any here... if you see one, I think you should definitely, definitely make a wish.

I wonder if it's possible to take a picture of a shooting star.

Considering there is a sky and stars, I think it would be strange if none of them went out occasionally. It's a natural process. [Balls of gas shooting across the sky isn't as magical as "shooting star".]

They go out so fast...

I don't think so. You would have to be very quick to take the picture and the camera would have to operate faster than I think is possible.

But... I thought the Gods lived in the sky. Wouldn't they try to keep the stars lit? [ though she has a vague idea as to what the science is behind it, she's still very much full of idealism. ]

And that's too bad... I guess the only way to capture the image really is to draw it.

[bibliophile_annex]

There are plenty of stars to keep the sky lit. [That idealism is like a breath of fresh air.]

Unless you have a Pensieve, yes.

[reconciling]

Oh, that's true! Though I think that every star is unique in its own way. [ uuuu... ]

But... what's a Pensieve?

[bibliophile_annex]

Literally, yes, they would have to be. Different shapes, different sizes, different variations of brightness when they're born and when they die...

[She blinks. Oh. She had just thrown that term out there without realizing...]

It's...a bowl...that can hold memories. It's used most often for reviewing memories.

[reconciling]

-- and different people that are born under those stars! [ it's like they're on two different pages of the same book-- ]

And that's fascinating! So does that mean, if you have a bowl like that, you'll never forget anything?
