asgardeventide | second spell ✰ video/text, action to odin house

( People have probably had enough of being woken up in the middle of the night, so if your bracelet is safely off, you won't notice a strange message coming through. It almost sounds like someone is rubbing a blanket up against their microphone; the video feed shows a pitch dark room, moving every now and then ... almost as if someone is thrashing around a bit in bed. Because that's exactly what is happening right now. Every now and then the strange static is punctuated by feverish murmuring.

Hermione Granger is having a nightmare. )

No.. Not Harry, I swear I'll be good, I promise..

( Her voice is low, begging, pleading, whispered. You wouldn't catch it unless you turned up your volume to try and discern what the strange muttering was. )

I did everything right, I swear; I just forgot .. please, don't .. it's not .. I won't --

( More thrashing. The video feed is obscured as the whispering reaches a crescendo and then --

A muffled scream. If you're in Odin house, you probably heard it, especially if you room nearby. If not, it's a little alarming as the video feed cuts out just as Hermione finds the lightswitch and floods her bedroom with light.

About twenty minutes later, there is a text post for the morning. )

Does anyone know if it's possible to brew sleeping potions here?

[Have a raised eyebrow and a skeptical look.] What kind of a test?

I don't think so. She's more reasonable than Draco.

[Who originally wanted to gorge everyone with outrageous prices.]

( Of course he did. He's a ~~pureblood~~ rich brat. )

Just an analysis that I used to run at home. I'll have to haggle with Euri then.

[Rich brat indeed!]

Going to try and replicate it for yourself?

Or adapt it. For personal use, not for sale; I'm not really interested in running a business.

Good to know somebody's not. [SNORT. DRACO, YOU BUTT.]

Are you familiar with making potions?

We use them frequently at home. I took years of it at home at school.

So you're a witch?

Yes.

( Though, after a moment. )

I'm not sure the term really applies here. I can't use my magic.

That's normal. But just cause you can't cast a spell here doesn't mean you're not a witch. It's still something that's a part of you.

Anyways, people can't normally do things that they usually could at home. That's why they gave us certain powers in exchange. As sort of a substitute.

( After a moment, she nods, smiling. Exactly. Being a witch is a part of her. )

That's the idea, at least. Though a lot of people have found their powers here a poor substitute.

[Unfortunately, he'd be one of those people.]

Yeah. Sometimes, it just really doesn't cut it, or its just not good enough.

Hopefully .. if we put our heads together, we can find a use for everything and everyone. In an ideal world, at least.

( Real war doesn't work that way. )

Definitely. There's always a reason and purpose for things.

[Even if it makes him feel useless as hell.]

And people. People are never useless.

[His smile is kind of helpless, like she's been reading his mind or something. He sighs.]

Agreed. Every little contribution, no matter how small and insignificant counts.

( Maybe he's just been reading hers. )

Exactly.
