[The presence of so many people was more than disconcerting, and Draco's just kind of glad to be rid of everyone. Being away from the distractions of various people (including his family at different ages, Merlin's beard), meant he could finally focus on what he was working on prior to their arrival.

It's pretty early in the morning today but Draco has his camera feed turned on his bracelet. He's in his shop working with some materials that are bubbling in the pot in front of him.]

Never again, gods. Never. Again. I can't believe you let such a mistake occur in the first place…not to mention apparently you forgot some of them. [Here's looking at you, Potter. Get out of Asgard. Now.

Oh well. Adding here, mixing there, and there's a loud pop suddenly. Grinning, he takes a small vial and fills it with his latest potion, using an eyedropper to grab some and squeeze a few drops onto a nearby table.

Bam. Victory! The latest explosion potion works! He''ll just turn his attention back to the video feed, not quite noticing that the rest of the pot's bubbling a little too violently.]

In other news, once again I'm completely brilliant in ways most of you aren't. Excellent. Euri, we've another potion to add to our stock. I finally perfected the formula. So, Asgard. We now offer a small line of offensive potions including explosives. Considering that I've figured out this formula we can work further to create stronger, more powerful potions for the next--

[The problem with brewing potions when you're not entirely stable and happy is that they're sure to backfire on you. It's a precise art with very little room for error. This is the case for Draco Malfoy. He's in the middle of his sentence when there's a series of volatile pops, followed by a loud explosion. The only thing visible on screen is a surprised yell and a cloud of smoke, a wave of acidic yellow liquid bursting from the confines of the pot.

When it clears, the camera feed is static and shows a view of the floor. It's assumed that Draco's lifeless body's laying there despite it not being on screen. The feed shuts off five minutes later and he disappears completely. Oops.]

[ooc: not responding to any tags, but feel free to tag amongst yourselves or whatever if you'd like. Draco's dead for a day and upon returning will have lost his bracelet so ICly he's out of touch for a week or two. Also posting a day early because internet outage at my house.]

Yeah.

Though I have to admit, it's weird to thing we have time to have a job at all.

It's hard to explain ... I suppose it must have been how the war was for everyone else, while we were finding horcruxes. Life sort of went on, even though those horrible things were happening.

You're right. Though not everyone found it very easy to work under those conditions. Also, it wasn't as if the entire community was at war ... but just the same. I suppose I understand it in context. We're supposed to know one another.

[ Hermione nodded. ]

The more we work together, it seems like the better the city becomes in terms of the colour coming back. In one way, we're fighting the war on that front, too.

Even if it involves having to do a lot of talking to people. Ron and I were worried about that.

It .. becomes sort of second nature. Talking to the other people here, it helps you feel not so homesick.

[He wonders if that's why she's ... suddenly a lot fonder of Malfoy than he remembered. He doesn't ask. It's not appropriate to ask.]

I'll have to remember that. Head out and meet someone new whenever I'm really missing home.

[Though "home" for him is still a transient thing, and it's especially changing now.]

[ that's part of it, yes. one day, she'll try and explain. not today, though. ]

Or you can come with me; there are lots of books in the library about all sorts of interesting things.

... I'd rather walk around and meet people.

[ but harry. the library. ]

Yeah, I didn't figure you and Ron would join me.

But if we ever need to find you, I'll know where to look.

Yeah. I'd be interested to know what you two think about the city; sometimes I feel as if I've been here so long that I don't notice the oddities anymore.

[ have a lopsided, wary smile. ]

.. Thanks, Harry.

I'm certain I'll let you know. But you know, the two of us adjusted to wizarding world all right. It might be less strange to us than anyone else.

I worry about Ron, though, without his family .. without anything he's used to..

So am I. We'll have to keep an eye on him.

Yeah. It'd be easier if we weren't all separated.

Well, why don't we work on that?

Yeah.. I'll .. try and do that now, then.

[ you know, to take her mind off things. ]

Yeah.

It'll be a good thing.
