[pooroldsnuffles]

Three days into Azkaban? You're dropping me off there three days into Azkaban, with Lily and James alive, and you expect me to ever want to leave? You're completely off your rocker, aren't you?

And no, we don't need more Slytherins. I reckon Regulus and the Malfoy kid are going to be more than enough, thanks.

( wait. wait. hold on. )

Did you know the Potters?

And you're coming to Asgard?

( clarification please! )

[pooroldsnuffles]

Know 'em rather well, I'd say.

[ Know, not knew. Guess who can't bring himself to use past tense yet. ]

And for a few days, I think.

[charmandchant]

( that makes this rather awkward then. because.. )

Er. Who are you?

( because you look so familiar and going to Azkaban within three days of the Potters and.

oh. oh my -- )

You're Sirius Black!

[pooroldsnuffles]

Clever girl. Lily'll be fond of you, I think.

[ The recognition makes him grin a little, though. Recognition always does. ]

[charmandchant]

But you're so young!

( as in. her age. or older, but that's not the point. he could be her age! )

And you don't have .. ( she gestures to demonstrate all the hair. )

[pooroldsnuffles]

[ Up go the eyebrows. He lifts his own hands to mimic hers. ]

-- lumpy shoulders?

[charmandchant]

Er, no.

( how do you tell the past of someone that they're going to have awful hair in the future? )

Well, you'll see in twenty or so years. I think.

( oh, and. )

I never introduced myself; I'm Hermione Granger.

[pooroldsnuffles]

I knew that. Friend of Harry's, right? You and the Weasley boy.

[ Pfft, whatever, awful hair. Sirius totally rocks it, and he shoots her a grin. ]

Can't promise I'll know that in a few days, mind. But I'm on top of things now.

[charmandchant]

Yes, that's me.

( ugh, no smiling, that's too weird when you look like a classmate. )

While you're on top of things, there are probably things you want to ask about the city, right?

[pooroldsnuffles]

Absolutely. And at the top of that list: how's the food?

[charmandchant]

( .. you are ridiculous. )

As decent as you want it to be, really. You won't starve.

[pooroldsnuffles]

These are important things to know, dear Miss Granger.

[ He hasn't been eating out of rage, okay. Real food sounds so nice. ]

[charmandchant]

You don't wonder about anything else?

[pooroldsnuffles]

Wonder about a lot of things. Hear Harry's going to be showing up, maybe.

[charmandchant]

Yes. I hope so. ( and .. she hopes not. )

And, Luna is there. And Malfoy, if you know who they are.

luna's not there actually :/

[pooroldsnuffles]

Malfoy. I'm familiar with the concept of the little shit, at least.

:(

[charmandchant]

He's ...

( wow, she didn't think she'd ever be saying this. and she ought to be preparing for a lecture. )

You might be surprised.

[pooroldsnuffles]

[ He studies her for a moment, expression unreadable. ]

Not a lot surprises me anymore.

[charmandchant]

You should try and give him a chance.

[pooroldsnuffles]

I'll think about it. No promises -- think I'll have more important things to worry about than my little cousin's emotional redemption.

[charmandchant]

( Hermione nodded. )

You know, I'll be glad to see you, there. Even if you won't remember me.
