Who: Hermione Granger and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Vanquish
When: 30/11 onwards

I think it might be time for me to ask for a little bit of advice.

I've been here a while, now, and I'm normally very good at not missing people. I used to give people tips on how to feel better about it, and it used to work for me, too, back when I was in the Drabwurld and there was a war to focus on. I would go and look in the library, but I can't imagine there's much of a help section there - dreadful, honestly - so.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to cheer yourself up, I'd be glad to hear it.

(Also: I have potions for all the ships on the fleet, now. If you'd like a set for your Lab, please let me know and I can bring them over!)

I think that's the one word that works, unless witches have a different term for the guy they're dating?

[ super amused. ]

[brainiest]

No, no, it's the same. We're not quite that different.

[ Shush. ]

[benames]

Are you sure? I mean, 'cause I keep hearing all those weird words from you and before more of your friends come question me, I need to know all the semantics -

[ 100% teasing, don't mind him. ]

[brainiest]

Cisco.

[ And the best way to shut someone up, she learned, is to kiss them - so that's what she does, leaning over and slotting her mouth over his quickly. ]

[benames]

[ he is on the verge of a few suggestions, of names and codenames that witches can use when they refer to their genius muggle boyfriends and he has at least a dozen, thank you very much but then, then.

it takes a second for him to compute what's happening but when he does, he leans into it, tugging her closer, just a bit and they kiss and kiss and kiss. ]

well. I had a genius list of suggestion that's now gone, thanks for that.

[brainiest]

Are you really complaining?

[ There's a flush on her cheeks, but she's still close, tilted up to look at Cisco properly. She hasn't moved away and if she wanted she could clear the space between them and kiss him again, embarrassment and nerves be damned. ]

Because I can stop.

[benames]

Complaining? nope. Babbling because I may be a mostly all-capable nerd but still a nerd? yep. It'll pass in three months or three minutes.

[ he isn't sure which but definitely one of the two. ]

[brainiest]

[ It's enough to make her laugh, and she reaches out to tug him closer again. ]

I hope you'll get used to me kissing you.

[benames]

Not gonna happen.

[ he manages but steals the next one, a bit longer, sweet and breathless. ]

I mean, it's not the sort of get-used-to things.

[brainiest]

[ It makes her smile, her hand lifting to touch his cheek, careful and cautious, even as she watches. ]

It's... Butterflies.

[benames]

A whole herd of them.

[ and he laughs, ducks his head. ]

A ground - a band - what do you even call tons of butterflies?

[brainiest]

A group of butterflies is a 'kaleidoscope'.

[ Hermione grins, leaning forward to kiss his cheek, finding his hand. ]

Or a swarm.
